Only option is to order an XTC Clip for now. Maybe Alpharev will make you an s-off hboot?

Tried and it doesn't work, the phone won't accept remote install .
So far I've tried also:
- psneuter: won't work
- gingerbreak: won't work
- RageAgainstTheCage: won't work
Anything else that could be tried?
I've seen an exploit to some new kernels (nelson): http://lwn.net/Articles/419141/, and I have tried to build it but I'm stuck with an error. Any hint?
nelson.c:151: warning: 'regparm' attribute directive ignored
nelson.c:152: warning: 'regparm' attribute directive ignored
nelson.c:158: warning: 'regparm' attribute directive ignored
nelson.c:171: warning: 'regparm' attribute directive ignored
nelson.c: In function 'main':
nelson.c:262: error: too many arguments to function 'clone'

The latest veersion of SuperOneClick supports 2.3.3.
Did you try it?

yep (10 chars)

Maybe a lead to root and custom roms? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15886656&postcount=11

I am possibly getting a ChaCha in the next few days, and understand that it has not been rooted yet.
Has anyone tried using fre3vo (http://therootofallevo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=120)? It was originally designed for the Sensation and Evo 3D, but with these instructions, it works with other devices (a few people have confirmed it working on the Desire Z (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15820128&postcount=21)), so it got me thinking: would this work with the ChaCha?
fre3vo is only temporary root, but it might open up possibilities for S-OFFing, etc. Anyone willing to follow those instructions and give fre3vo a try?
EDIT: forgot to link to fre3vo itself (derpderp), it should be attached to this post in .zip format

Stock fr3vo won't work, no one tried using your link yet though.

Yeah, the stock one I tried before on my Desire Z said that it's an unsupported handset, but with the one I attached to that post and the instructions I linked to, I'm able to get temp root (via adb shell) on it on Gingerbread, where all other exploits were fixed (rage/psneuter/etc). I hope this works on the ChaCha

No luck.
I just tried unpacking the above fre3vo zip file - the app wasn't called .apk so I renamed it and tried opening it. "Error parsing the package."

It's not an APK file, nor an Update.zip. They are binary programs without any Graphical User Interface and have to be run through the terminal, please read the instructions I provided below:
Extract Fre3vo.zip
open a command prompt and type in:
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug
* Now, you should get a debug trace showing us scanning regions. If it doesn't, game over.
We're going to run this with different start and stop addresses...
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start 10000000 -end 1FFFFFFF
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start 20000000 -end 2FFFFFFF
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start 30000000 -end 3FFFFFFF
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start F0000000 -end FFFFFFFF
adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start E0000000 -end EFFFFFFF
Don't be surprised if the scan hangs, or the device spontaneously reboots. This is normal when doing blind memory scans. Just reboot the device, and start with the next scan.

[ROOT] Easy Root, works with any Stock ROM (Including 2.31.651.7!)

Disclaimer: This is not one-click. However, it IS relatively short and straightforward, and does not require you to downgrade.
Credits: The 743C exploit, and ChainsDD for Superuser.
You need:
Android SDK installed and working.
The zip attached to this post.
If you're still on Cupcake (Android 1.5) you'll need su and Superuser from http://bit.ly/su2361cd
So, let's get down to business.
Unzip the attached file into your /android-sdk/tools/ directory, it'll make your life (and ours) easier.
Open up your command line, change to the SDK tools directory, and enter these commands:
Code:
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Now execute the exploit:
Code:
adb shell
/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
Wait for the exploit to finish.
Code:
exit
If it doesn't exit cleanly, chances are it worked, just close your terminal or command prompt and open a new one.
Test that it worked:
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb shell
If you see a $, it DID NOT work, execute the exploit again. (Step 3)
If you see a #, it WORKED, continue:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
adb push su /system/xbin
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
adb install Superuser.apk
You may need to ctrl-c once it says Success!
Next time you 'su' in adb shell, make sure to click Allow in Superuser!
You may instead install Superuser from the Market if you wish.
Clean up the exploit:
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
If you ever do a "Factory Reset", Superuser will go away, but you DO NOT lose root. Just reinstall Superuser.
What next? The choice is yours! Remove stock apps, get some good 'ol WiFi tethering, or flash something different!
*NOTE*
The above steps DO NOT put a recovery on your phone, though it is VERY EASY.
Once you're rooted, install ROM Manager by Koushik Dutta from the Market. Open it up, click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".
Select your model (Hero CDMA), and hit Allow when the Superuser Prompt shows up.
*NOTE*
The above steps DO NOT install Busybox on your phone.
Simply install Busybox from Stephen (Stericson), available on the market.
Start the app and click Allow when prompted by Superuser.
How To Uninstall
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /etc/passwd
rm /etc/group
Uninstall Superuser.apk then reboot, and you're set!

That's it!
I won't give directions on installing a recovery or flashing another rom, there are plenty of threads detailing how to do so.

Pretty straightforward. This will probably help a lot of newer hero owners, because amazingly, people are still buying them every day!
If I get a chance to test it out, I will.
Nice job. Should be stickied so people don't run around searching through all the old rooting threads which aren't as compatible with the newer RUU versions.
Worked nicely on a refurb Hero that Sprint sent due to the dust problem.
Thanks!
Works great for me
Why am I having trouble doing this? I was able to do it on one Hero though not after many retries, but not on another.

Great! I can't live without WiFi tethering my iPad which is why I haven't done the 2.31.651.7 HTC OTA update at all.
So, I take it that this exploit will root the Official RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.31.651.7_signed_release.exe file then too? I ask because I really don't like to do 'update patches'. I prefer to flash and start fresh so I'm planning on flashing the RUU and then doing this root exploit. Yes, No???

SUPER!
Because when I saw this post, I tried to download the latest OTA patch, but my phone just responds 'Your phone is up to date. There are no updates available for your phone'. Strange, because I'm on 2.27.651.6 and the OTAcerts.ZIP is in tact.
Oh well, FEAR NOT, because after I get back from the store this morning, then get the TV tuned to the split screen with football on one and the baseball playoffs on the other, and get Leo Laporte's TechGuy radio show screaming...it'll be the perfect time to flash my phone to factory fresh.
Thanks.
Works perfectly on latest and "greatest" stock ROM... excellent

One reason is that when I tried to download the latest OTA update today, I could not. And another reason is before I RUU'd, I had less than 50MB of available memory, but now I have 96MB available with all of my programs loaded again. So for me, it just seems more and more that Android (or HTC Sense) is like Windows boxes since it seems I have to reload the Android OS every now and then to clean things out.

Well, if you're using Sprint's official stock .5 rom, with no tweaks applied, you gain the advantage of having an up-to-date rom with the latest bugfixes from Sprint, plus I would say my root method is less invasive and more transparent than other root methods. My personal opinion is that it feels like a root method that can't be abused easily.

[GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6

DO NOT USE THIS IF YOUR PHONE CAME WITH GINGERBREAD Or newer Software. Use the Ace Hack Kit for DHD ​
How to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 WWE
HTC - Quietly S-OFF. Again.​
About:
The problems started when HTC released their 1.72.405.3 OTA update. That update could not be rooted, and many people got stuck in stock roms. Now a downgrade method has arrived! After this process, you can use any root (+ S-OFF) method you want. Basically your device will be just like any other Desire HD with older build version. Downgrading will completely reset your device to factory defaults, so remember to back up all important data (such as contacts, game saves and sms messages).
System requirements:
HTC Sync (or ADB drivers)
Desire HD with build number 1.72 or higher
[Warning] Telus DHDs may lose sound because the 1.32.405.6 is not fully compatible with the sound chip. Just start using a custom ROM, and it will work fine.
How to downgrade:
Section 1
Disable any antivirus software
If you have a branded / regional (like Indian or Vodaphone) device, you have to make a Goldcard. Use "mmc2" instead of "mmc1"!!
Download the attached file and extract it
Get stock 1.32 PD98IMG.zip ROM, mirror
Put the PD98IMG.zip into your SD card. Do not put it into a folder, and do not extract it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Section 2a [For Froyo ROMs, 1.7x and 1.8x]
Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute commands:
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Section 2b [For Gingerbread ROMs, 2.x]
Connect Desire HD to a computer. Charge only, USB Debugging enabled!
Open up a cmd and go to Downgrade folder, execute commands:
Code:
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell
./data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FBB00000 -end FFFFFFFF
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Section 3
If you got "#" in the result, you have temporary root! Proceed with commands:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.6
Close the CMD. Reboot while holding volume down, it will go to the bootloader
Follow the instructions (start the update)
Done. You can now click my thanks button! Proceed with old S-OFF methods, and remove the PD98IMG.zip from your SD. I recommend Radio S-OFF for new users.

Big thanks: Scotty2, Guhl and the fre3vo team
Downloadcount for Downgrade package v1 is 15808, and for v2 it is 32012.
FAQ:
Q: Will I lose all my settings and applications?
- Yes, so make a backup with MyBackup Pro.
Q: I have done Radio S-OFF and SuperCID, do I need this?
- No, with those you do not need this kind of trickery.
Q: I have flashed a custom ROM with e.g. 1.84 build number, do I need this?
- No, with ClockworkMod you can jump between builds freely.
Q: It says '#' but I still cannot use root applications!
- That is normal, this method only gives root in command line. Just go ahead and downgrade.
Q: Is my phone Froyo or Gingerbread?
- Check it in Settings -> About -> Software information -> Android version. 2.2 is Froyo and 2.3 is Gingerbread.
Q: How do I navigate to downgrade folder?
- You can read this short and easy explanation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Troubleshooting:
- "Main version is older"? You did not type everything correctly. Please try it again and see if any errors come up.
- "Error opening backup file"? You did not use "Charge only" -connection, or your SD card is faulty.
- "CID mismatch/CID incorrect"? Your device is branded. Just make a Goldcard, put the PD98IMG.zip to the card again and go to the bootloader.
- "Model ID incorrect"? Some Telus DHDs get this, just make a Goldcard.
- "Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)"? Use Gingerbread method to downgrade.
- Zip will not load in bootloader? Format your SD card to FAT32, no quick format! You can also try another SD.
- Problems while making Goldcard? See this post.

Look:

but you should use DHD RUU (not desire Z) and lower version numer (since unbranded rootable version for DHD is 1.32.405.6)
Great work to everyone involved, now finally those lame "root doesn't work" posts will vanish
Excellent
So has any one tried it?
Got temp root trying to flash old ruu...lets see
I have temproot working. Currently downloading the RUU file on my REALLY slow internet...
I think there is a couple of small errors?
cd /data/local/tmp
./misc-version -s 1.31.405.3
should be
cd /data/local/tmp/
./misc_version -s 1.31.405.3
also, the psneuter is a .txt file, just remove the .txt extension to use the file.

You still will not have permanent root of 1.72/1.75! but this does allow you to downgrade and attain root on older Firmware

That is right. The psneuter gives temporary root, but as scotty2 said, it kind of shoots the current rom in the head while doing that..

People like this annoy me. As the OP already stated, he can't downgrade with s-on. Just because YOU did, doesn't mean he can. His stock RUU is too new (1.47) and there is no exploit to get temp root yet for this RUU, so downgrading is not possible.
Agreed, he should use the search function, there are about 3 threads of people trying to s-off their 1.47 device. But in his defence, all 3 of those threads are filled with morons like yourself telling people they can do it. Newsflash, you can't.... yet
I'm waiting to :-(
Hope it will no take very long time ahah

Hi Evilier.
I just have few questions regarding to your phone, since its one of the "new" software, do you have the Wi-Fi Death Grip? More info can be found here.
And can you tell me which of the v1.47 do you have? Which country I mean.
Well this is going to be a stretch, since you're on the "new" phones software version, can you update/RUU to the latest (RUU_Saga_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.1_Radio_20.28I.30.0 85AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199476_signed)? Then double check if you still have the so could Wi-Fi Death Grip. Thanks a lot.
+ 1 for a method to unlock/root the "new " firmware. Please devs do your magic

Davidreece, I'm on the same wagon here... Tried every thinkable method but simply no joy
Did anyone of you test the ROM suggested by Yungyeh?

i have actually managed it i used fre3vo from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150006
but i combined the instructions with post 4 from the downgrade thread ( part where you have to chmod the version file then change the version.
first download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=591335&d=1304969547
and also this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=661246&d=1311240968
extract them to the same folder then open a command prompt in that folder and follow these instructions
Instructions:
1. adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
2. adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
3. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
4. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
5. Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo'
If all goes well, you'll be kicked back to your computer's command prompt.
run 'adb shell' and you should have a '#' prompt instead of $
6. cd /data/local/tmp
./misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
From here you can then install the update/downgrade from the ruu exe for your phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
then you can just follow the alpharevx instructions as normal because you will be able to run gingerbreak etc, this works on the latest updates as i couldnt use gingerbreak to downgrade due to the vodafone uk update and i am now on a custom rom and s offed
hope this helps everyone.

This part got me all excited in the pants a little. I tried it, but the fre3vo script is hanging at "Frame Buffer handle: 4" for about 5 minutes now.
I will try factory reset on my 1.47 RUU and try once more.
@davidreece: can you confirm what RUU version you had when this worked for you?

Thanks for the tip. But I'm a little confused at step 5. I'm the ultimate Android noob so please excuse my stupidity, but what exactly did the step mean by "Run the binary via 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo"?
How exactly does one "run the binary? I typed in the 'adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo' command for this step and I get
fre3vo by #teamwin
Please wait...
At this point I can't type anything and actually waited...but after about 15 minutes, nothing is happening. Could you point me in the right direction?

You appear to be doing exactly the correct thing...just be patient...(although I admit it does say a few minutes).
See this refined guide....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16104882&postcount=16
I'd be tempted to reboot the phone and start at the beginning again, (although the first two steps may well error as the files will be already there - ignore that and proceed).
first of all many thanks for all the guides, secondly i've followed all the steps and everything works fine but when i run the .exe to actually downgrade it always says that i'm under 30% of phone charge (battery is fully loaded). I made a gold card and everything also... strange..

Just grasping at straws here....Try to fully charge the battery and then power down device and remove the battery, allow both the battery and the device to cool down.
Try again.
Now, again I'm not sure but a full factory reset from HBOOT may remove the existing battery stats....so you could try that?

no sadly i don't, tried to run it also on another pc but it's the same.. there is also another thing, few days ago i tried to run the .exe hoping that it would downgrade, later i found out that i've got hboot 92 so i waited for a new method.. When i tried I didn't get any error message, just thath obviusy it couldn't downgrade... today i tried again and I keep gettint low battery....

[UPDATED]how to root 1.47.161.2 hboot 002 (and possibly others)

sorry about all the updates i am trying to remember as i go along with the help of the comments below, we will get this working as i know it does

extract them to the same folder then open a command prompt in that folder and follow these instructions pressing enter at the end of each step
(big thanks to Jorgen2009 for cleaning up the instructions)
Instructions:
1. adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
2. adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
3. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
4. adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
5. reboot the phone with the cable attached to the computer
6. adb shell (this gives a $-prompt)
7. /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF (when everything is OK you'll go back to your own prompt, not the phones)
8. adb shell (you'll have a #-prompt now, cause the the is temp-rooted)
9. /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.27.405.6
10. install the earliest RUU version you can find. I used RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed
11. after rebooting your phone has the old HBOOT (0.98.0000)
12. enable USB Debugging (Settings - Applications - Development) and reboot the phone again
13. Run the AlphaRevX binary and don't install the CWM recovery, we'll use 4EXTRecovery lateron
congratulations, your phone is now S-OFF!
download the latest EXT4Recovery from here
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery [PATH TO recovery.img]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
go to the recovery and install any ROM you like
hope this helps everyone.

Thanx davidreece, great find!
Unfortunately it's not working for me I get stuck at point 5 running the fre3vo binary. I waited 20 minutes for it to complete, but it's still saying "please wait" with a blinking cursor. For the record, I'm using this rom: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed. That could be the problem perhaps.
I also noticed that the the fre3vo link from your article is a bit older then the fre3vo version on the fre3vo thread. Of course i tried that one too, but it gives the same result for me
Any ideas?
Cheers
not a clue jorgen sorry i should maybe add the words "some"
just a thought when you ran the fre3vo command where you in adb shell or at the command prompt >, i seem to remember it happened to me the first time i tried it but i cant remember how i got it wrong, ithink you have to enter the adb shell command first then enter /data/local/tmp/fre3vo next or it may be enter them both together as one line i cant really remember, i was so surprised it worked if anyone else gets this to work could you please clarify the fre3vo steps and i will update the main post thanks, hope this helps, also i only used the link version not any newer one

Hello, you're right there appears to is a slight mistake above, from my understanding of this the commands they should be entered as I've shown below from your PC within a command shell window with a <RETURN> at the end of every line.
Code:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Support Tools> [B]adb shell [/B]
$ [B]chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo[/B]
$ [B]chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version[/B]

Yes it is the right thread to follows, but keep in mind that the ZergRush file linked there is the source code (zergrush.c) and will not work. You need the binary (file named zergrush). If you are rooted you do not need ZergRush to use misc_version. After the ICS update your main software version became 14.01.401.2. To be able to downgrade to lower (for example 1.28.401.1) version you have to change it, otherwise the RUU will not continue. This is what misc_version is used for.
Follow the instructions carefully and you will make it.

yes followed all the instructions step by step, but when it comes to the 3rd & 4th command (adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush and adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version) nothing happens, 1st and 2nd command is okay they did work, yes the problem exactly i guess with the "ZergRush file", how to get the binary file?
thans in advance again

so what can i do?
Maybe it will be much easier to unlock the bootloader again, flash a custom recovery (it is rooted) and use the adb shell in recovery to push and execute misc_version. Then lock the bootloader and run the RUU

If you have "limited information" it is because you are refusing to read. Everything that you could possibly need is on the forum already. Read the stickies, read the major threads, make sure you understand what you are doing and why. It isn't rocket science - but people will not spoon-feed you the answers all day long as we have far better things to do with our lives.
