As many of you probably know there is an issue with the DFT HSPL and the Mango update resulting in the device no being able to be detected in bootloader mode (one line on the tri-colour screen). Is there a fix available alredy or not yet? Because I can't flash the official mango update for my Vodafone Trophy because of the abovesaid reason. Any suggestions or help would be really appreciated.
I got the same Problem.. hope there is some genius soon that has a solution
so... noone? not even a clue? a lot of people have this problem..

probably the easiest method will bee having a ffu file to use with the updatewp or in alternative the cab.pks file with the spl
these are the files signed by ms to be deployed using updatewp
... ultimately we shall wait for the next official update that will be deployed from Zune

I've received the HTC update for Windows Phone through Zune yesterday, update that contains SPL and radio, phone rebooted twice immediately after the update and still no good bootloader, so no luck with that.
thats all bad news.. for now we are stucked with this problem
same problem here
note to self.. never use custom rom until someone has the solutions to ALL of the problems.
Did you already tried goldcard method. This flashes also the bootloader.

a guy in HD7 forums have already tried this, without success.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17764002&postcount=11
The only way I see after all this attempts is directly flashing mermoy with JTAG
only way to fix this is by " http://gsm-technix.de/shop/produkte/19/1/10/htc/ "
I used this after testing custom spl/radios and ofcause **** can happen
20 euro + 6.90 euro and your phone is fixed for German people
(it worked for me and got my phone back in only 2 day's )

Correction:
Never use Custom ROMs without reading the forum or read the chef instructions first. If people are too lasy to read dont mess with your phones.
jup correct.
And if you want to test/dump/build/cook be prepared to get a bricked phone
iwas have same proplem an i tried all those methods :
*fomat device
*restore backup
*creat goldcard
*replace card
*flashing rom via xtc Clip Box
*Y-Cable Method
And all failed
at end i relpaced the device
Have any of you recieved the Mango update?

Hi Guys,
as you see in the topic, i want to know which is the newest Version of Android for the HTC ChaCha.
I bought it from o2 Germany and i will get it in some days.
Is there any further Update like Android 3.x or 4.x?
Thanks
Greetz
Seb.
just 2.x.x. please change your title as a question, which just misleads us
Sent from my HTC A810e
2.3.7
the newest one is 2.3.7 from cm7 for chacha
Sense??
Hey, guys
has anyone come across a sense rom for the Chacha which has at least Android 2.3.4?
My brother is unsatisfied with his phone but does not what to miss the sense features.
thanks for any hint
Newst Android Version for the ChaCha is 2.3.5 (stock rom EU). build 1.52
Hi,
got my ChaCha yesterday and i checked all the important things out...
so here are my infos:
S-On
Android 2.3.3
HTC Sense 2.1
Software 1.19.206.1
HBOOT 1.04.000
MICROP-0557
RADIO-7.47.35.17
Brand: o2_uk (important?)
OTA Update sais, there is nothing new ...
i'm not sure, if this is the latest Stock-ROM ... i don't think so ... is there any possibility to update to a newer *stock* rom?
# edit #
now i downloaded the updates from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255107
Stock ROMs 1.18 Europe and 1.33 Europe: http://www.swtesting.ro/alex/downloads/
The new OTA update 1.33 to 1.52 is also there.
but i'm not quite sure what to do ... (my first android phone!)
# edit 2 #
not i tries the RUU Updater "RUU_Chacha_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.1_Radio_47.17.35.3033H_7.48.35.14_2_release_204385_signed.exe" but it didn't work ... got an Error Code 131 i think .... something didn't match ... "wrong ruu updater" or something ... don't know what to do, to get a newer Firmware now?!
With s-on all you can do is to update your rom to 1.33
If you are windows user - it's quiet easy. You have to prepare gold card. You'll find info on xda and google how to do that. Than just run RUU, and software should be updated in a while. Then you can get TempRoot. What it does and more importantly what it does NOT is all written in TempRoot topic.
If you want to install higher updates/custom roms and use Apps2SD (I'm sure you would like to do that, as after some days of using stock chacha you'll run out of mem), you will have to get s-off.
By now the only possibility is to use XTC-clip. You can either buy one or find phone service that has it and will do it for you for some small charge. Here in Poland it was 10E for me. When you get s-off you can install CWM recovery, and then do anything you like. You can install CM7, other roms, gain permroot etc etc
Hope I helped
Thank you.
i used "GoldCard Tool 0.0.5" and i think it will work now ... it's updating at the moment ...
but how can i install the OTA Air Update from 1.33 to 1.52?
i downloaded the zip file from the "everything for chacha thread", renamed it to PH06IMG.zip and put it in the root-folder and launched the bootloader but nothing happend ...?!
#edit 2#
i tried to rename it to update.zip and use the "recovery" tool and press vol-up and home at the screen with the red "!"
i get to a blue screen with yellow text and i choose "apply update from sd.card" but then i get "invalid operation" and the phone reboots ...
and i get the message: E: can't open /cache/recovery/command ??
i tried all options in the recovery-menu and i don't know how to go on?!
# edit 3#
well i think i understood ... i have to get s-off to continue to 1.52 right?
In German, how much to S-Off chacha?
We have a german Android-Discussion Board where peoeple offer it for free or up to about 10 EUR (about 14-15 USD) but there are no xtc clip owners in my area so i have to send it via mail to the xtc owner and let them do the work and they send it back to me

Anyone of you guys is on 3 Australia?
I am tempted not to upgrade so I don't get into trouble rooting.
I wanted to wait to make sure there is root available before upgrading it.
here is a nice (though elaborate) guide to downgrading your rom so you can root it: theunlockr.com/2011/10/25/how-to-downgrade-the-g2-desire-z-desire-hd-and-mytouch-4g-back-to-froyo/
it's not the easiest guide, but it works from my experience.
still nothing happens
tried many tools, seems new HTC official 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 is patched against all available rooting methods, should wait a bit longer for a new tool to root
although there are some "HTC stock 2.3.5" that are rooted, but it requires removing the original os and replacing this one, such as:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235&page=12
if any one finds how this os was rooted plz help us, so we could root our existing os instead of replacing it
Hi all. New to the forum and brand new at rooting android phones. After a lot of reading and searching and trying I managed too achieve root last night on my Desire hd running 2.3.5 using the Ace Advanced Hack Tool. It took a few attempts for the phone to accept the downgrade. I had to run the hack tool several times to achieve this. In the end as the effin manual says I had to turn off all anti virus and close non essential programs. I also removed any anti virus apps from my phone. I don't know if it was coincidence or not but I was about to give up and had unplugged the USB cable and was in the bootloader menu about to reboot when all of a sudden it read the zip file on the SD card and downgraded the ROM. After that ran the Hack tool again and Now rooted, S off and Custom ROM (CM7) installed. One other quick thing, after installing CM7 on boot up it went into a boot loop. After searching found out you have to clear/reset factory settings and clear cache in custom recovery before flashing a new ROM. Hope this helps.
edit - forgot to mention I had the bootloader unlocked from HTCdev site but re locked it just before the downgrade started working.
Hi ALL,
Have you tried The Advanced Ace Hack Kit by attn1?

People it really works flawlessly...; just re-lock your bootloader if unlocked from HTCdev.com and use an empty, clean sd card... andof course read all the manual. Then you can let show begin They did such a BIG AND PERFECT work! i'm Amazed and impressed! thank's a lot people who made this possible.

RE: Rooting HTC Desire
Personally, I find SuperOneClick to work very well!
people
this STILL is not working..i am trying to use the AAHK kit
i have read the manual
i am now using a computer that has nothing but winXPpro and the htc drivers installed that came from the AAHK, no anti virus, no anti-malware, no apple sh*t, NOTHING ELSE
all i can think of is that my phone IS running one of the build versions that requires a downgrade as mentioned in the manual (details listed in my original post)
or
i DO have a HTC Dev Bootloader and its not locked as mentioned in the manual
i know nothing about locking or unlocking bootloaders, but Ive been to HTCDev, registered, logged in and tried to follow that process as follows:
i select my phone HTC DESIRE HD* (there is an asterix because "* Indicates HBOOT update required.")
continue through disclaimer and agree etc
download PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe
when i run PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe i get error saying i need to upgrade to 3.13.707.3 (On your phone, go to Menu>Settings>About phone> Software updates> CCheck now.
After you have updated,please run the RUU again to upgrade your HBOOT to unlock
Your phone. We apologize for the inconvenience)
i check for updates and there are no updates available for your phone
this is a staggeringly difficult and im really quite f*cked off i really cant see what im not doing, or, where to go from here
other people in asia seem to be having the issue with this phone, i found this website which google translated and it contains the EXACT steps i have taken please have a look
but of course, no i cant paste url's in here because i havent had 10 posts...honestly wtf
if you care to email me ill send you the link

hey guys,
i've got the samsung omnia w gti8350 and i installed the latest update including kk2, but now i havn't the phone either unlocked nor i have a backup.
i downloaded the full mango build 7720 rtm and the wp7 update cab sender. when i wanted to "update" actually downgrade, the anser was no cab was required. the phone doesn't let me downgrade to mango!
is there a possible answer how i can downgrade it or how i can uninstall kk2 without having a backup?
thanks for your attention
daniel
I'd ask what you did with your backup, but it's probably too late for that now.
You need a ROM flashing tool, not a CAB sender (which is used for updates, not full ROMs). I know that ROM flashing utilities exist for the first-gen Samsung phones, and would assume that either they can be used with second-gen or you can find one that works. The tool used for HTC (like I have) is called ROM Update Utility, commonly abbreviated RUU.
You may want to look in device-specific parts of the forum. Also, just for the record, do you mind posting your firmware version info (from Settings -> About -> More Info)? People are constantly asking how to check for the KK2 version, and it would be good to have a number I could point to and say "if it's at least this high, you need to downgrade."
Here we go,this is what i got after the update:
Firmware revision number 7.10.8107.79
Hardware revision number 23.15.0.8
Radio software version 2424.11.12.1
Radio hardware version 0.0.0.800
Bootloader version 6.1.2.0
Hope it helps,since update i was unable to unlock using windowbreak.

@GoodDayToDie: would it be possible to use the ROM Update Utility to flash my omnia w?
Daniel
I don't know; ROM flashing isn't my thing (I'm still on a stock ROM). I strongly suggest you go look at the Omnia [7] forum, if you can't find an Omnia W forum, and ask how to re-flash the ROM. Alternatively, you could try searching (using Google/Bing, since the forum's search tool is down). You could also look at the XDA-Devs wiki; a lot of this sort of info is stored there.
Here you are
OS: Windows Phone 7.5
Date: 2011 November
PDA: I8350XXKK4
CSC: I8350PLSKK4
Download: Click HERE
This ROM is from Poland, unfortunately it's the only ROM I could find for your phone. Anyway this shouldn't give you any kind of problem.
How to flash:
- Extract the archive
- Open the folder Downloader and run WP7_Downloader_Ver_3.8_for_Secure_and_SMD_change_Parttiton_and_Support_Retail_binary.exe as Administrator
- Click on PDA and choose PDA_I8350XXKK4_REV0.nb0
- Click on CSC and choose CSC_I8350PLSKK4.csc
- Click on Phone and choose PHONE_WEMBLEY_16002402_open_KK1_rev00_RC1.bin
- Click on Eboot and choose EBOOT_I8350XXKK4_REV0.eb0
- Put your phone in Download Mode (Turn it off and press Volume Up Key + Camera Key + Power).
- Plug in your phone, wait until the program finds the phone and then click Start
If the program doesn't find the Phone, then you need to install Samsung USB Drivers: Download HERE
hey AshleyT
i tried all you said exactly that order but nothing worked:
picture as attachment
Have i made a mistake?
Uhm... Everything seems correct
Try these USB drivers:
Samsung USB Driver v1.3.2300
Uninstall the old ones before installing these!
Also, I found another revision on that firmware, if you have the same error with the new drivers, try with this other one:
http://hotfile.com/dl/142699209/c6a2bc7/I8350XXKK4_XEKK4_SERKK4.rar.html
i have samsung omnia w with frmware v7720 and diagonisis ver 1109 in which the window break method does not get applied...so for this reason i want to downgrade my phone...is possible to use windows support tool for downgrading to earlier windows ver i.e. NoDO because i dont have any backup of it so i cant even reterive it with zune
i've now tested the new drivers and the new rom that you posted.
It seems not to work! Same problem as before, no way out! I think samsung provided with kk2 an update that blocks all possibilities to "hack" this phone.
2nd gen devices (like Omnia W) can't be downgraded to NoDo because they didn't even exist before Mango!
Anyway 7720 is the OS version, not the firmware.
You can always try the ROM that I posted above and see if you're able to apply WindowBreak on it

Well, my Samsung Omnia 7 also received KK2 update which blocked the possibility to use WindowBreak, but I was able to flash even a custom ROM, so I don't really think that the problem is realted to the firmware.
Are you sure that you're in bootloader mode?
You can also try the procedure on another computer, but I don't know what else I could suggest you, because I didn't have any problem on my Omnia 7!

Are the bootloader mode and the download mode the same? First you mentioned i've to go to the download mode (vol. up + cam. + power).
If that's true i am in the right mode.
I'm interested in downgrade my Omnia W too. I found this. I hope that it helps, but i think, that it's only for upgrade...
Can i make a custom frimware for 2nd gen devices???
Since you'd need to unlock the bootloader before you could install it, a custom firmware for gen2 phones isn't yet a useful project...
So i tried it with later drivers and Poland Firmware and it seems that it doesn't works.. Still the same firmware.
@WooDoo.CZ: don't you forget to ckeck the checkboxes from PDA, Phone, Eboot & Phone Boot. Unless you check these, i think it won't send any files to your wp7 device...
Sorry boys. So I did it again and now i checked it. And same problem as you had.
edit:
I found this. Anybody should try it. I don't have time right now.

can you please advise me on how to upgrade my p920 to the latest firmware/software ? is there a current tutorial for someone like myself who has never upgraded an android phone before?
the P920 is brand new and all i've done is activated the sim card (consumer cellular) and then i "rooted" it
not sure if this matters but i've tried using the manual software update app on the phone and it just says device is not yet registered
thanks in advance for the help

you have also GB installed on your Phone, you can upgrade it to ICS.
go to Settings -> Software update > then you can upgrade it to ICS

thanks for the reply! unfortunately when i select settings > software update > update now it says "this device is not yet registered" i've researched this error response and one user is saying it actually means the phone is saying there are no updates available ...this is why i'm hoping i can upgrade it myself somehow without using the built in software update app
should i follow the steps that are out there posted when you google " upgrade LG P920" >>which are to upgrade it to jellybean?
official is only ICS available - full working ROM
if you need to install JB or anything else you have to root your phone. you have to flash it manualy.
there are a lot of treads here where you can read anything about root and flash ^^
