[HTC ChaCha] htc evo 3d 1:
help!

someone pleasse help me , i unlocked my htc chacha through htc dev and after that i tried to install cwm through hboot. it didnt work, it would stay on parsing forever. i had to take the battery out to restart the phone, so i manually installed it with fastboot. it comes up now but when i went to go install my new rom i downloaded i selected install zip from sd it just gets stuck on the hat with the gear. and if i press the power button it goes back to cwm, please help!
[HTC ChaCha] max1309:
Can't extract the file, I've tried with unzip and unrar, both tells me it's not a zip or rar archive. So I can't get the rom.zip file.

The problem with virtualbox is that when the phone reboot for update, is disconnect. Once the phone start, virtualbox recongnized it, but with a different name and ID, so the htc software didn't find it.
[HTC ChaCha] huff:
After you enter in CWM recovery you have to use the buttons from the keyboard for confirmation, not the power button.

Enter for ok, backspace for back, and the arrows for Up/Down ;)

Give me the hboot RUU and I will try to extract the zip.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
So you've tried this:

Well, I've tried whith this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711303

I've got a rom.zip file. Then i use the 2FastbootFlash-Linux.sh script, everything works well, no error message. But when I reboot the phone, I'm still with 1.22 instead of 1.57 version.

EDIT : I thinck the bootloader has changed, when I reboot pressing VOL DOWN + POWER, I've got a pink line on the top screen : "*** LOCKED (OOW) ***. I've never seen it before. I've got Hboot 1.10, instead of 1.04.

Do you thinck I can start unlock process ?
[HTC ChaCha] huff:
That zip file from the RUU downloaded from htcdev.com will only update your hboot, not the rom.

To update the rom you have to run a full RUU first. That contains the full rom update not just the hboot.

1.57 version can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447330

i unlocked bootloader with the HTCDEV method:D. But i can't get my phone rooted:confused:! Al treads didnt work for me or i am doing something wrong. Who can help me out here how to get root and guide me tru this?
[HTC ChaCha] max1309:
It appears that I just have to update the hboot. After this update, I can unlock the phone via htcdev, because I've got the identifer token.

So my phone is now unlocked !! :D

Next step, root and then custom rom, can't stand anymore the stock rom, with stupid demo apps you can't uninstall, multiple same apps provide by orange or sense...

Thx to all for your help !
[HTC ChaCha] huff:
Great!

Maybe now you can confirm that my small tutorial for CWM and ROOT on S-ON devices unlocked on htcdev works fine :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21544791#post21544791
[HTC ChaCha] max1309:
Yes it works !! Thx a lot for your help!!! :):)

To navigate into CWM menu I must use the arrow keys, backspace to go back, and return to confirm my choice.

Perhaps it is stupid from me, but I mentioned this point because I didn't see such instructions during my search. (bad search certainly) :rolleyes: At the beginning, I was using VOL UP or DOWN and POWER, but with no success.

Now I've got Zasa4_chacha rom !!! For the moment, everything works fine !!

EDIT : I confirm, think I'm stupid, it is explain in your guide... lol
[HTC ChaCha] slangza:
Fully unlocked and rooted with S-ON! thanks!

Now to hope and wait for more awesome custom ROMs for the ChaCha

No RUU for my O2 Germany ChaCha

Hello everyone,

I wanted to update my HBOOT to unlock my HTC ChaCha.

Unfortunately there is no RUU for O2 Germany.

My CID is O2___102

So far I tried:

RUU: HTC Europe -> did not work

RUU: O2 UK -> did not work

placed the rom.zip from O2 UK on the phone's SD card and renamed it -> after some checking the bootloader rejected it. (I believe on of the CIDs in the zip file is O2___001)

Anything else I can try?

(I hope I am just blind and missed the kinda obvious)

Thanks in advance
[HTC ChaCha] huff:
It think that the solution is to use a goldcard when flashing the RUU. You can use this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970157
[HTC ChaCha] jova:
Hey, thanks man. Had the same problem and can confirm this to be the solution.

:)
[HTC ChaCha] vinnie185:
so this also works for htc chacha?

edit: can someone pleaasse help me, when i connect my htc chacha to my pc and select htc sync it works for a few seconds and then it disconnects :(
[HTC ChaCha] huff:
Yes it works for chacha also. You have to select mmc0 or mmc1 when getting the CID.
[HTC ChaCha] vinnie185:
okay thank you. yes i did that, so now i have to run the RUU.exe? for bootloader unlock?
[HTC ChaCha] huff:
Just follow the guide from the beginning of this thread and use the goldcard you've created instead of the regular card.
[HTC ChaCha] vinnie185:
ok, thank you. also, do i have to connect my to the pc with htc sync? when i connect my phone to my pc with htc sync, htc sync finds the phone and then it disconnects. :(
[HTC ChaCha] huff:
No, you don't have to use HTC Sync.
[HTC ChaCha] vinnie185:
okay, so i can just connect it and let it in only charge mode, on my phone?
[HTC ChaCha] huff:
Yes, that's correct.
[HTC ChaCha] vinnie185:
okay, thank you for helping

edit: so it says after a little while; usb connection error. also when i do it and when is says wait for bootloader the HTC logocome on the screen off my htc chacha and when i remove the usb cable im in bootloader and it says RUU...???

plss help!
[HTC ChaCha] max1309:
I had the same problem, for other reasons.

I must removed my battery to get my phone back.

It seems like your USB connection is bad, try another USB port, another cable...

okay thank you, i'll try

if have root access with this tutorial,can i copy folder in phone internal memory?

Thanks
[HTC ChaCha] danielcw:
Thank you very much!

I created a goldcard, and applied rom.zip file via bootloader.

FYI: I could use the same SD Card that I use as a GoldCard.

I was finally able to unlock my HTC ChaCha via HTCDev

Can I leave the SD Card in Goldcard state, or shall I reformat it?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
It's usually recommended that you have your SD card (that you normally use) and a separate SD card (the Gold Card) which will be used only for flashing.

Thanks to those who can help me
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Yes, you can. Using Root Explorer, with superuser installed, click on R/W in Root Explorer.

Mate, there are a lot of users and a lot of questions and as you can see we are a few people that answer questions. Take into consideration that some questions might get missed.

---------- Post added at 09:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

Try to manually apply 1.54 or 1.57 using the goldcard method. See if that works. Otherwise, to see your OTA update on the stock ROM you need to flash your original area code ROM - for example: for Asia phones you need to flash the Asia RUU, otherwise you won't have any phone updates. Understood?
[HTC ChaCha] susanna93:
But I do not know where to find a more updated europe RUU of 1.33, I had read that it was possible only if you install 1.54 s-off ... where can I find an official rom europe? I tried a little 'and nothing (maybe it is I who am blind lol)!

Get either the OTA update, either the clean one. For the OTA update you need to flash the stock recovery which I will not explain here as it was already explained a few times before :P

I have a little problem. When i went to HTCdev.com and choose "HTC ChaCha" and press "Begin Unlock Bootloader" (the green button", nothing happens. WTF?

What's the problem? Same thing if I choose another device and press the button, nothing happens.
[HTC ChaCha] Nicraz:
I had the same thing happen to me. You already created your account and everything? When you're trying to select the device and nothing happens, go to the upper right hand corner where it says "My Account" and then click "Email Settings" on the left and just click "Update". Then go back and try to select your device again and it should let you begin the process. I hope that works.

Keep getting Error 191 with HTC Status

I have run the update for HTC Sync which has put on the X64 version for various Microsoft Visual C ++ files, AIR, etc. and ran the PH063100 Boot Installer (Cingular, as I have AT&T) acquired from the HTC Bootunlocker site repeatedly with official min-usb cable, an off brand cable, 'run as charge only' 'run as usb drive', etc. Just about everything I try amounts to nothing but Error 191 - it will not recognize the current rom for updating, which is 1.23.5. I noticed that other folks with AT & T are experiencing the same problem. I went into an AT&T store one day and was told that I have the latest rom version. I initially doubted this as AT &T reps are hit and miss when it comes to being helpful or accurate, but it would seem that the rep is correct ... for AT &T users. I looked at HTC's European site for ChaCha and there was an update available. All of this lead me to thinking - what if I run the ruu for another company's update, such as a Canadian company like Rogers or Telus (the latter of which carries the ChaCha as Status, but does not list any updates)? Since AT &T uses a SIM card instead of CDMA, I am guessing that I should be able to make calls and such just as I had before, where I to do this (if I can do this). I know that some of you folks with other providers have tried roms from Europe on Asian phones, or vice versa. What happened for you? I am quite sick of AT & T dragging their feet on moving up to 1.80 or any update. I got my phone just a few weeks upon American release. it shouldn't take this long. Having trouble figuring out how to cram even more bloatware into the phone's already limited internal memory? Sorry for the rant ... just throwing out an idea.

Hello xda,

I am fairly new to android platform and have been messing around with my g tablet a bit. I got the Vegan 7.0 rom to work but there are a few issues I have with it.

First of all, when I connect my USB to the g tablet, I don't see any mount options. I have checked the settings and do not see it anywhere. Anyone know how I can connect my gtablet to my computer via USB? Also, I tried to connect a USB flash drive so I can import some files but nothing appears when I connect. I do not know how to access my files. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Second, my flash player does not work! I tried to install adobe flash player but flash does not work period (even on youtube). I have tried opera browser and that is also a no go. When I try to download the latest adobe from the market, it says my device is not compatible. I am trying to install adobe 11 manually but I cannot connect my gtablet to my computer x_x.

Lastly, I know that Vegan 7.1 is out and its supposed to fix the flash, the usb, and everything else. BUT when I try to install vegan 7.1, my gtablet does not get pass the boot screen. It freezes and I have to resort to 7.0. I followed the steps on here when installing 7.0 and 7.1. 7.0 seems to work fine but 7.1 just freezes. I did a clean partition and formatted everything.

Please help me out if you know the solution to any of these. I would prefer Vegan 7.1 to work and hopefully then everything else will work. And yes, I did do research and google, I did find some similar posts but those did not help me.

I have a Virgin AU Black working on V2.3.4 root that others refer to on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1441901 you will need to root your phone first and install Rom Manager in order to install.

Or you can use the factory KDZ update v2.3.4 and not have a rooted phone.

Both are great options. I have a non rooted - but custom install of the KDZ official ROM on my other P970 and both work great with my bluetooth.

I have a Australian BMW E39 with the BMW bluetooth system http://www.bimmernav.com/e39.html and both phones work flawlessly with the Bluetooth system.

There is no difference between the function on an Virgin or Vodophone AU phone using the generic firmwares mentioned above.

Again, if you are ok to root your phone, go with the zip install. If you are not comfortable rooting then go with the KDZ install. KDZ can be found with the LG KDZ upgrade tool
