Hello i post here Enginnering HBOOT for Desire HD flashable as zip from Bootloader.
It`s usable for people who already have S-OFF.
So if you have S-OFF and 2.50.405.2 ROM which is not rootable at this time, you don`t need to downgrade, then root, and then flash hboot using tools.
Just put this file on root of your SD, and reboot phone holding vol down button.
It is very useful if you unlocked your phone by XTC Clip, or your phone is factory S-OFF.
what exactly would I need this for? no offense, I just don' know.

Thanks, I ftried a few one but with all I had the same problem... "no image found".... This one works for me.... Great !!!!!!!!! :good:
I notice that in your version of zipfile also a info-file included. Maybe that's why the others didn't work....
i made a goldcard but the 2.10 rom i downloaded is a exe file how do I flash it? I have not rooted, no s-off its s-on, all i have is a goldcard.

Although the procedure you used reported that it worked, the goldcard is not a valid one. That is why you are getting the CID incorrect message.
I would try recreating it using this procedure:

Still doesnt work, Is there way to do it via s-off or rooted?

I would try that procedure again with another SD card. You need to make sure it is at least a 2GB SD card.
oh i treid with a 1gb card, i onlky have a 16gb car which is my main one so can i remove goldcard from it?
can i get an s-off and do it?

Making your SD card into a goldcard does not render it useless at all. In fact it doesn't even bother the data that you have on it.
The procedure of using the adb commands should work just fine. There is no need to S-OFF just to create the goldcard.

Search for Simple Goldcard Tool. You can easily create GoldCard with this little software. You don't have to use cmd prompt and complicated commands. Desire S using MMC2 and that software supports it. You don't have to S-OFF and root for installing RUU.
1) Format SD card as Fat32
2) Install HTC Sync Drivers. (available at htc.com)
3)Connect Your phone to PC. USB Debugging must on and usb connection type: Only Charging.)
4) Open SimpleGoldCard Tool as a admin
and follow procedure step by step at SimpleGoldcard tool.
I installed new 2.401.8 RUU after made goldcard with that tool.
Look In the index thread (see my Sig) in that there it's a link to a working gold card thread

HtcDev bootloader unlock for ChaCha
INFO: unlocking the bootloader will NOT give you s-off but you will be able to root your device and install custom roms.
You will not be able to flash hboot or radios and your device won't be network unlocked.
http://htcdev.com/bootloader
Tutorial here written by theq86: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432199 for people that need help with the process.
Report back if it worked for you guys or if you have any problems.
Use this thread for all your discussions relating to official bootloader unlocking rather than making hundreds of topics for the same info or problems.
That way anybody needing help can come here and ask rather than digging through many pointless posts.
AFTER YOUR UNLOCKED
Once you unlock your bootloader grab yourself clockwork mod from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15560528 follow the directions to install.
Read the instructions carefully.
Download the file and place in the root of your SD.
Turn off your phone and remove battery.
Replace battery and hold volume down and power until the bootloader opens.
It will scan for the file you placed on your sd root and ask if you want to update
Say yes by pressing the button it says to confirm.
When finished reboot.
NOTE: Delete the clockwork mod file from your SD root or it will keep trying to flash it when you try getting into the bootloader. Do this by either card reader or with a file explorer on your phone.
TO GET INTO CLOCKWORK MOD (CWM)
Power off your phone and remove battery
Replace battery, hold volume down and power, bootloader will open.
Select recovery.
You should now be in clockwork mod.
TO GAIN ROOT ACCESS
download super user package here: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and place on your SD
Boot into clockwork mod and choose install zip from SD
Then select the zip location for superuser file you placed on your sd and select it and confirm.
When done click back then reboot system.
You should now be rooted.
To check if you are, open your app drawer (all apps) and you should see a superuser icon.
You also install custom rom's this way (choose zip from SD etc).
Good luck!
For any info on any aspect of your ChaCha be sure to check Alex C's 'everything ChaCha' page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17396419
He's done a great job putting all the information needed in one place.
Whether you need help or info about battery life, s-off or custom roms that should be your first port of call.
PS. please don't make tons of pointless threads without actually searching current ones for an answer or you'll just make your forum a jumbled mess.
The RUU Updater is giving me a "model ID" error (possibly due to me having S-OFF/SuperCID via the XTC-Clip) - gonna try extracting the rom.zip from the RUU and applying it manually from the bootloader.
EDIT:: Manual application by extracting rom.zip and booting into bootloader got it to apply. Us people who are S-OFF via the XTC-Clip might need to do this to get it to apply. YMMV.
Can anyone confirm if this is also valid for the AT&T version of the Cha Cha, the HTC Status?
Awesome, guided.
unlocked ;-)
just follow the instructions
Will allow us this Unlocking free unlock-sim too?
Thx.
hello !!

Unlocking the bootloader will NOT s-off your device.
You will be able to root and flash custom roms.
You won't be able to flash hboot or radios.
Your phone will not be network unlocked.
Your warranty will be voided, for any software related problems at least.
hi!! Is there any way to get it S-OFF, other than with the xtc clip ??
Why is that important to get it S-OFF?
With the bootloader unlocked you can flash custom ROM and have root access.

Not right now mate.
But it may be easier to find an exploit now.
I've a problem with the HBOOT update needed by Bootloader Unlock, it need 1.54 update, while i'm on 1.18 and Software Update don't show me any update possibility.
How can i proceed to update to 1.54 ?
You could try updating to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447330
Then try again.
You may have to create a gold card.
Ok, can we get a little help with the rooting process and custom Rom install after unlocking?
I don't think that we can apply the same process as for the S-OFF devices.

yeah you have to be S-OFF in order to unlock your sim
so what to do:
root
S-OFF see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
then use the guide to unlock(simply if method 1 fails go to method 2)
actually you aren't flashing pg58diag.zip from recovery but from bootloader
once you boot into bootloader it will recognize it
i started with step 5..now i am at step 6 but i don;t understand step 7? what i have to do at step 7?
i neet to charge it , ] Juopunutbear give me a errot that it have not enough bear( 18% battery..) ..

flash this from recovery
it will give you root access
http://download.chainfire.eu/298/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip
about step 7 you have to do the wire trick
take a cable and connect it as it shows in the pics.you have to take the right timing
and yes you must have a lot of energy
also backup everything from your sdcard to your pc
you said your started from step 5.i assume you have stock rom bla bla bla
ok and what i supose to do with "CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip"
yes i have stock room!
and when i must to do that wird trick, i just unplug the cable an plug it again than it works? or plug unplug the sd card?
i'll instal CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip from recovery ..ok sorry !

about CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip:
place in the root of the sdcard
go to recovery
choose to install it
done
about cable:
here you are wrong
you must have a different cable such as a piece from an ethernet to do the wire trick(see also the video on how to do the wire trick)
but the device must always be connected with the normal usb cable
oh got it! and after that? my phone will be unlocked? or i have to do something after that?!

you have 2 options:
1)using htcdev method to unlock the bootloader and root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
after unlocking the bootloader flash this zip from recovery to root
http://download.chainfire.eu/333/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.34.zip
2)use juopunutbear method to S-OFF and root the device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
the difference between S-ON and S-OFF
with S-OFF you are fully unlocked(means that you can flash also firmwares,radios,rils which on S-ON you can't)
with S-ON you are limited only for flashing custom roms anf kernels
what is Hboot?

switch off the device
remove and insert the battery
then press and hold together power button and volume down until it gets you to the bootloader screen
there you will see also your hboot version
unlocking bootloader and carrier free are different things
Thanks.
By the way,does all these methods are safe to do ? (Hboot,root,bootloader etc)

basically it has the same steps for S-OFF and unlock bootloader
so you can use that too
so i need to do is to first unlock bootloader(through Htcdev site).Flash any custom recovery and then root the device or I need to S-off the device too to get a root?
PS:
S-Off requires wire-trick which is like a operation of my device. :silly:

there is no need to S-OFF for root too
for root you can choose either htcdev site or S-OFF method

Follow this till you have a custom recovery with smartflash on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Then copy any zip to sdcard, boot into recovery, flash.
If you get stuck in a boot loop, extract boot.img from your custom rom and use fastboot flash boot boot.img
I recommend that you do not soff or flash radios till you feel comfortable.
Happy to help.
