Hey, I am new to the forums and I have a problem.

I have a htc chacha, and I have tried numerous times to use 'unlock bootloader' from the htcdev website.

I choose the right carrier 'htc europe', download the RUU run it and follow all the steps. (It says that the ROM needs to be 1.54.401.2, but mine is 1.54.401.3)

So I follow all these steps, and then when it is updating my ROM image it stops and it says this:

"ERROR [190]: ROM IS NOT UPDATED

Your ROM version is not the latest version.

Please upgrade to 1.54.401.2 to apply this RUU to be able to unlock your bootloader.

On your phone, go to Menu>Settings>About phone>Software updates>Check now."

So I follow these steps and it says that my phone is the latest version.

What do I have to do to unlock my phone?

Kind regards,

BerendBassleer

Hi again, forgot to mention...

Yesterday I been trying out the latest MIUI ROM and would also give it a :good:

The look reminds me of IOS and it really looks nice.

- the problem is the app2sd support where it fails:(

Ive used link2sd (great app:good:) but the rom just crashed when i try to link apps to SD. can anyone make it work (in MIUI rom)?? Any alternatives?

- and the locked portrait screen:(

Ive tried to use the mentioned apps rotate locker and milocker, but it is really a temporary fix. After a while it comes back to portrait mode (with unlocking the screen).

These two issues bothered me the most, so i really hope the dev will manage to fix it. Hope you get all the support you need:highfive:

Now i am using the CM7 again...cant wait to try out the official MIUI relese...hope it is not going to take too long:confused:

Keep up the good work:good::good::good:

Same problem for me...

Solution for the mentioned problem

Hello Everyone,

I was also facing the above mention problem when I was trying to unlock the bootloader. So here are the things which I did:

Like mentioned, the ruu tool is asking to update the phone to the latest version and if you try to go to system update>check for update the phone does not update and says: you are on latest version blah blah!!

Just go to the local HTC service center and tell them you need to update your phone to the latest version (Don`t mention that you would be unlocking the bootloader after that, once you go home...lolz :p). It will hardly take 10-15 mins for the phone to get updated to the latest version (make sure to backup all the things from your phone as after this all your phone stuff will be wiped off...:crying:)

Then come back home and use the ruu tool and follow the steps to unlock the bootloader on htcdev site. And voila!! you have unlocked the bootloader...

Now root this bad boy and enjoy!!! I have rooted my phone but havent installed any custom firmware...:silly:

My current latest version is Android 2.3.5 and software number 1.57.720.1 (this might differ in other countries, mine is in India).

Hope this helps!!! :fingers-crossed:

The awsome keyboard that everyone talked about on this phone is slightly going old on my phone. Some keyboards are not working at the first press of the button, like P or SPACE and one or two which i can remember now.

I think i will change the phone this summer...

agrrrrrr... keyboard layout

Ok, guys! I'm look totally like noob, but i made everything and can't solve my trouble. So, i've got chacha originally from Italy, and got root by htc-dev team instructions. I try so many different builds, but perfect for me is Hexgore's pimped stock. So, before rooting i just have only two available languages for sense and keyboard - italian and english, but when i flashed to hexgore's rom it was available awesome russian language! Yeah! But... so... my trouble... input languages still only italian and english, but no russian. It's very pity! :( I don't want to use any third-party applications for keyboard, i wanna stock. I also tried to rename htc-chacha-rus.klm.bin and cha-cha-rus.kl but it was take no effect. I'm ready for cry! And this is not a joke!
[HTC ChaCha] iJAF:

For me is "A", "FN" and "P" keys :(

device will no longer recognize any sd cards after unlocking and rooting

Hi all,

thank you for the great collaboration you've put together here.

Unfortunately however, after successfully doing all of the above, my device absolutely refuses to acknowledge any sd card whatsoever.

I only get "unavailable" for total and available space, and everything else is greyed out.

Prior to rooting my phone, everything was working fine.

Even when going through CWM recovery it says "E: can't mount /sdcard/" , however in Windows all of my sd cards work fine.

Seeing as this happened just after rooting my device, I am sure this has something to do with it ..

I do hope you're able to help me as I'm getting really stressed out now :(

Thanks all.

* Update *

wiping dalvik and cache didn't work the first time but fortunately worked the second; problem solved (for now) lol
[HTC ChaCha] michael2016:
Hi again guys,

I received an OTA update to 2.3.5 today but when I reboot for the update my phone hangs at the boot logo with the exlamation mark inside of the triangle and the only way to get it working again is to reboot through CWM.

I went into CWM and tried applying the zip from there but it said signature verification failed, so I disabled sig verification and then it said error in zip (status 7) installation aborted.

The name of the update is the same as what was previously on the phone before I unlocked it and flashed the other ROM with RUU from the developers website.

Is this simply trying to reinstall the original ROM that I overwrote in order to unlock and root?

Do I need this update?

Little bit confused.

Thanks guys.
[HTC ChaCha] didije:
You cannot OTA Update your device if you have custom recovery installed. And I don't know which update is that but I don't think you will benefit much from it.

Rooting a S-on with Bootloader unlocked

Thank you Alex !!

I got a Chacha and love the keyboard, so fast....however the memory size is a waste...how can telecom engineers do an error like this ?

Anyway, I've tried to follow below to root it. However only get to the 'Root' and cannot go further.

My phone was bootloader locked, but now with the HTCDev it's unlocked.

however the post in there is for S-Off, so not sure how to do it.

I got the PH06IMG.zip, but for the Superuser my android version is 2.3.5, so higher of the one they offer in that post.

Also the post says it's only for S-off, so how do i do it with S-On ?

So how should i root my Chacha plz?

Thank you
[HTC ChaCha] dullah:
Right guys, need some advice. Just sold the SGS2, too big of a screen, and got myself a chacha.

Hy Alex, thanks a lot for your Cha Cha guide. Please help me because my gf has htc cha cha and se doesn't want reset the smartphone. I move all the app from memory to SD anywhere i have onle 14 mb free. What can i do? The only solution is reset htc cha cha? But in this case i'm scared that whit the reset i'll never found the app downloaded. I have htc desire z and all the time that i reset my htc i lost all my app. Please help me. thanks a lot. Stefano
[HTC ChaCha] negrufabian:
Read the 4th point from this thread and you will be able to install the apps after reset.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Unfortunately there is no other way, if you have never reset the phone after you bought it, you must do it otherwise internal memory will drop to 1MB.

Try to make a list (write it down in notepad or something) with all the applications that you have on the phone, from A to Z.

Go to Settings -> Applications -> Downloaded and SD Card. Write them down.

As a side note, after the reset is performed, activate "Keep my settings backed up" option (the final screen, after you add your Google account on the phone). After you install everything, Sync your Google account and you'll have all the downloaded apps and settings synced with the GMail server and Android Market server. Therefore after each reset your phone will automatically download and install everything that you had (from official sources like Android Market).

Good luck! :)
[HTC ChaCha] knowsnophones:
Is my understanding correct that the apps are first installed in the internal memory and then reset and than moved from the internal to the SD, thus leaving them installed in the SD instead of the internal?

Does this mean i will still have the same amount available in the internal memory whether I have 5 apps installed, 10 apps or 20apps since they will be installed to and running from the SD card?

OR

Will the app be installed in the internal, and just some data will be transferred to the SD card leaving some data left in the internal even after the reset?

OR

Am I thinking this all wrong and that Android Apps are not installed and are just run unlike a PC?

I apologize for my questions as I have never had an Android smartphone before.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Android applications are not like the PC ones. Android is linux (based) and it has a different applications management.

So basically what you need to do (when getting the phone for the first time) is the following:

- From the initial setup screen, activate "Backup my settings" (it's activated by default) after you add your Google account

- Now you can download your apps/widgets/pies/corndogs/whatnot/etc.

- Setup all your accounts in Settings -> Accounts & sync (click the big Add account button)

- Sync everything (#4 - Settings -> Privacy -> Activate Back up my Settings and Automatic restore - are active by default)

- Factory data reset

- Now re-add all of your accounts and sync

- The phone will automatically download apps/widgets/etc. (only if they are from Android Market, this is not valid for manually installed applications unless you fix the market link for them with Titanium Backup)

- Move all applications to SD card.

You should basically have a whole lot of space free (around 86 MB or something like that) after this. I have performed so many resets that I don't even check the memory afterwards ^_^.
[HTC ChaCha] scanfe79:
Hy guys, thanks a lot for your solution and suggests. Question, i have problem with sync. My Htc calendar doesn't sync with gcalendar. I'm scared too that all the app don't sync with market and google server. I looking for and find "Backup my settings" and it's activeted. My dudes is this, all the time that i reset my HTC Desire Z and then i synced all from "account & syncroniz" i never found the app that i have installed before reset. Why?

There are something to click in the setting to be sure to find the app after reset.

Please can you tell me how can i sync htc calenda with gcalendar?

thaks a lot guys. And Compliments for the Formus.

Stefano
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Your downloaded applications and widgets should automatically sync with Android Market on your Google account. Everything is traced on the server and every time you reset your phone, Android Market server sends your applications back to your phone.

Check https://market.android.com/account (or go to https://market.android.com and click the My Market Account in the top right corner) and you should see a list of everything you have downloaded from the Android Market.

As for the Calendar stuff for me it works (adding an event/appointment into GMail calendar then synchronizing with the phone will copy that event into the phone's calendar) so maybe you haven't got enough memory for sync, or your a using a ROM without the sync apk.

You can check manually in:

- Settings

- Accounts & sync

- Google - Sync calendar in the list. If sync calendar is not there than you don't have the apk installed (removed in the custom rom by the dev).

You can manually try to sync from here by clicking on the Sync calendar option.

I have just got a ChaCha and after a Legend ,with similar amount of room for storage, I was baffled as to why the available space kept decreasing. I've just followed your tip and voila!...just over 100MB of free space.

Yes. You must have at least 20-25 MB, even more. I don't know the numbers precisely.

My friend, after the reset, i will have again the problem of memory low? today i have only what's app installed in my htc and no free space more.

Seriously? What am I doing wrong ?

I went through everything, and I made sure everything was set to be synced.

I reset my phone.

(I don't like how EVERYTHING likes gmail and books gets automatically synced on initial setup, so skipped that)

Then I went into settings and added my gmail and and htc sense account ... and turned on automatic sync when only the things I wanted were selected to be synced ...

Sycned and ... nothing ...

All my settings, apps, gone, home screen personalisations, gone !?!??!!

Why are they not automatically downloading. When i added the gmail account it said I can now restore my phone to a previous backup, but for the life of me I cant find out how to start it ?!?!

please help me !

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

I have checked my online andriod account, all my apps are there.

When I check settings, it even has my phone there, says it was registered today.

All my email settings, and everything, and home screen will take ages to set up again.

Where can i find the restore button?

I press the sync all button repeatedly, but nothing is happening !

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

okay ... so some progress. some apps have started downloaded, good.

But I am still missing

a) all my e-mail accounts / setups

b) my home screen personailisations / widgets.

(HTC sense seems to have restored my alarm settings)

Will these ever be changed? or are they lost for good.

I am really not happy right now.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
"(I don't like how EVERYTHING likes gmail and books gets automatically synced on initial setup, so skipped that)"

You need this step in the initial setup to work.

Link2SD is already covered in the CWM thread :)

Will add it though, but afaik it doesn't work with stock rom.

@knowsnophone we'll have to wait for HTC for 2.3.5.
[HTC ChaCha] droople:
I'm using a rooted european stock rom downloaded from the forum, link2SD is working perfectly for new installed apps, for the system apps , I have titanium backup :-)

[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Nice, I'll set it up then :)
[HTC ChaCha] negrufabian:
With this link2sd you can move fb and data stuff to SD?
[HTC ChaCha] droople:
If you mean facebook, then nope, link2sd only can move new installed apps, not the system apps which are under system folder.

You need to use titanium backup to move the system apps out from the rom, then use link2sd.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
If you don't use facebook, simply remove it with Titanium. :) Easy as 1-2-3.
[HTC ChaCha] negrufabian:
Of course i use facebook :)

droople, if i move facebook on SD with Titanium and then link it with link2sd, there won't be any bugs or some problems with it?

Also, let's leave facebook aside, for example foursquare, i linked to SD. The data from it will be stocked on SD or again on the phones memory?

I spent all night installing that 1.33 stock rom version from website, it seems ok for now.
[HTC ChaCha] droople:
With Titanium you only move the facebook from system folder to data folder, which is the "ROM" what we are talking about, it's still on phone's memory, not SD card. For this part, you may check the Titanium support site. http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php

With link2sd it will move from ROM to the second partition of your SD card. Not sure if any bugs for moving apps, you may refer to the original link2SD thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919326

The issue is that if your SD card damaged, your facebook will gone forever, of course if you merely move some apps to SD card by app2SD, you will face the same possibility anyhow.

When you link an app to SD by link2SD, you can choose apk file, dalvik-cache (.dex) file and lib files (.so) to SD card, I think it includes data. You can check the original thread, and my thread about the internal storage http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286934.

Hope this is clear.

ps: I also spent whole night to install the stock rom, until I found I can change the CID file in the rom.
[HTC ChaCha] negrufabian:
thanks for making it clear to me.

but if i loose facebook can i download it back from market ? :)
[HTC ChaCha] droople:
Yes, you can download from market.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
With Titanium Backup you can create an update.zip file for facebook, which is a backup in case something goes wrong.
[HTC ChaCha] negrufabian:
I looked into link2sd, it does not let me to move fb. I created backup with titanium but there is no moving option there, only freeze, delete, etc...
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Long press (press and hold) on the application and a special features menu will appear. You will see the option there.
[HTC ChaCha] negrufabian:
Seriously, nothing like that appeared on any of the programs.

I did though this:

With Titanium i made FB an user app and then link2sd linked to the SD card, works....later edit, after restarting FB was gone :)

One question: what's the difference between LINK function or MOVE 2 SD option in link2sd app?

First i linked FB, not much space was free, then i MOVED it and magic happened :)

thanks!!!
[HTC ChaCha] droople:
MOVE 2 SD means you move the apps to the first partition of SD card, which is the same as the original function of android, you can't use those apps when you connect your phone to your PC as a storage device.

LINK means you move apps to the 2nd partition of SD card, and you still can use them when you connect your phone as a storage device to the computer.

For the space, it seems strange, IMO, LINK should give you more space than APP2SD.

Known issue:

* library files get unlinked after reboot on Android 2.3 and sometimes on 2.1 and 2.2. (PackageManager unpacks all native libraries from the apk files at boot)

[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
That's not in the stock. What rom are we talking about? :)
[HTC ChaCha] droople:
Stock rom with many many apps installed :p
[HTC ChaCha] negrufabian:
Thanks for the above. I think it's no point for now to try to move system stuff because they crash. I uninstalled some of them using titanium. From time to time i will delete fb data. Now i am at around 60mb constant free space thanks to link2sd :)
