(This is also confirmed to work on HTC Status, thanks jlopez0978)
1) Unlock: Prepare for Unlock via HTCDev then unlock as explained here (you can find a small fastboot & adb kit here, no need to install the whole sdk).
2) Root: You should be able to root using the Doomlord root tool.
3) Install CWM Recovery: Download CWM 5.0.2.7 for Chacha and flash it using fastboot (see detailled instructions by Yorzua here)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4) Flash custom rom like SuperOSR / CM7
5) Enjoy!

YES! F*****G YES! I'm already S-OFF'd via the XTC-Clip, but gonna do this unlock anyways.
12:45am where I live, and this just made my day!
EDIT 1: I kept getting "model ID" errors, so I had to extract the rom.zip from the RUU.exe and apply it manually from HBOOT.
EDIT 2: Just a tip, the recovery can be fastboot flashed. From what I've read in the Wildfire S section, boot.img's will need to be fastboot flashed too if you didn't S-OFF via the XTC-Clip.
EDIT 3: Seems like you can fastboot flash everything but radios and HBOOTs - I fastboot flashed a boot.img and a system.img of a nandroid backup of the 1.54.401.2 stock ROM - I could see this being very useful.

now that there is s-off available, should we request that the htc chacha be shifted back to the main forum instead of allow it to remain in the legacy section?

Let the activity build up for a couple of days then message an admin.
I'm from the wildfire s forum and we were put in legacy, but after a polite message to admin (not from me) we're back in action.

I unlocked the boot loader but it still says s-on!

It won't s-off
Bootloader unlocked means you can root and flash custom roms
You can't flash hboot and radios
Also your phone wont be network unlocked

I'm not sure that's relevant... You could't be S-On but unlocked (being able to flash non signed files)
Have you done the fastboot oem unlock part? Did it fail??
Can you report the output of:
Code:
fastboot.exe getvar -all

I followed the guide in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184118 and put PH06IMG.zip in the root of sdcard and when i boot in boot loader it find the file and say
Parsing...[PH06IMG.zip]
that's it and do nothing after that so what is the problem?

Same problem here.
UPDATE: Tried with the chinese one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280569 ,
and then it said: "Main version is older" and made me reboot.

All the guides for chacha are friggin confusing anyways. Everybody assumes HTCDEV bootunlocker put your phone to S-OFF.
Well it doesnt... After HTCDEV unlock it is still S-ON but UNLOCKED. Which still has its limitations.
Its so annoying, all I want is root so I can delete some of the stock apps to free some space. I dont need fancy custom roms etc. Because after the 5-6 apps I installed, the phone basically is unusable because after a few weeks there will be only 10-15mbs left. And mind you, I moved everything possible to the SD card.
If this phone isnt so unusable, I wouldnt even bother rooting/unlocking it.

ok, let's try that:
extract the recovery.img from the PH06IMG.zip and flash it using fastboot, now that you should be able to do it:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

how you did it

your boot loader is still locked you need to unlock it first from htcdev

Unable to use Fastboot commands

Hello there.
My device is S-OFF, I used revolutionary when I first got the phone, I believe I had Hboot 1.18 but I am not sure. I never used HTC Dev at all
I have wondered for a while, why can I not use fastboot commands such as "flash radio" and "flash recovery", for some reason it always fails. Here is the error message I get.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The only way for me to flash recovery or radio or anything like that is to use the PG58IMG.zip method. How can I fix this?
This is a photo of my bootloader screen, sorry about the image quality, I had to take it using the webcam on my Macbook, so I will type it out also.

Thanks in advance.

Go to unlimited.io then hboot downloads, pyramid, ICS, download the jb_hboot.zip then put it into the folder with fastboot files, open command prompt and cd to where the fastboot files are then type:
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip
Press enter then all done, you have full fastboot commands

Ah, i see what you've done there. My bad, forgot about ruu mode. The only reason it worked is because it took it as an update, as s-off allows you to to do many things. Stock locked hnoot itself doesn't allow FLASH cmds in fastboot mode.

I can't change the rom HOX AT&T, why?

I follow almost every tutorial on our forum but i can't change the rom.
I unlock the bootloader with All in one toolki by hasson, unlock the root, I check with HxD the CID (11111111) but I can´t make s-off, I tryed cyanonenMod, CarbonRom, and another else but my HOX don´t work, always return to RUU (Relocked the bootloader).

I'm sure some people would love to help you but your post is in the wrong section. This should be in the Q&A section.

Wrong topic.
You need to give us the phone's status rightnow. If it locked bootloader and running original RUU, the work will be simple for you.
Also tell us why you could not soff, and another thing is you are very lucky when flashing RUU before s-off, ur 1x not brick.

Thread moved to proper section, please next time read the rules before posting

You're s-on so you need to flash the boot.img manually using fastboot after you flash the ROM, that's why the ROMs aren't booting.
Extract the boot.img from the ROM zip on your pc, it's in the root folder of the zip. Put it in your fastboot folder.
After you flash the ROM, reboot to bootloader and connect your phone to the pc, wait for it to say fastboot usb on your phone screen.
Open a command prompt from within your fastboot folder and issue this command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now you can reboot your phone and the ROM should boot up.

Yup yup. This is by far the most common reason for ROM not booting.
Boot.img will not work if you are s-on (and any hboot 1.14 or later). You simply have a kernel mismatched to your ROM.

Hi Timmaaa
Ok, let me understand something:
I have the Carbon Nighttly, I need extrac the boot.img from them, and install by fastboot to HOX, after copy the Carbon ZIP to the sdcard and from recovey install the ZIP rom??
I have the TWRP 2.5.0.0 Recovery.

Yes that's exactly right.
But.....
You need to change your TWRP recovery version to 2.6 because the version you have (2.5) is full of bugs and doesn't install/wipe properly. You can download TWRP 2.6 here. Then put the file in your fastboot folder and issue the following commands:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can enter your new version of TWRP and install Carbon, then reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img.

No need to be sorry. But yes, you must follow my instructions above exactly to change your recovery.
When you wipe in TWRP use the advanced wipe feature and select cache/dalvik cache/factory reset/system. Then flash the ROM, then reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img. Then you can reboot your phone into the ROM.

By the way, instead of using a Carbon nightly, you should use the stable 1.8 release which is the most recent and is also a very good/stable ROM. You can find it here.

[SOLVED] I can't enter into recovery mode. Please help

I broke the digitizer, so I replaced it (I think successfully). I was able to boot it once and everything worked fine. Now all I get is a bootloop with the htc logo on white background.
I wanted to install a newer rom, but I'm unable to enter recovery
If I try to enter recovery pressing vol down and power, and then select recovery and press power, I get the htc logo bootloop again
I was in rom CM 10.2 by Sultan. With S-off. I can't remember which recovery I had installed (4ext or twrp?)
What could I do?
Are there any pc tools like flashtool for Sony devices or Odin/Heimdall for Samsung ones? (preferably for ubuntu)

I've done so many times, that's the first thing I've tried.
I was thinking about using adb and fastboot commands to see if I can get to the recovery that way or at least they prompt some errors that tell me what's wrong.
But I don't know what should I do, I've always used some gui (like flashtool or heimdall or odin for other devices, no idea if there's anything like that for htc devices)

ok I've tried everything i could on ubuntu, windows 7 and windows 8.1. Please more ideas?
on Ubuntu
I've installed adb and fastboot and added the file 51-android. rules. I enter fastboot mode on phone and it is recognised by pc.
sudo fastboot reboot recovery does nothing
I've downloaded 4ext recovery and uncompressed
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery'
okay
writing 'recovery'
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I've also placed the 4ext recovery zip file on the sd renamed as PG58IMG.zip, no luck either. it just says parsing, but doesn't do anything else
on windows 7 and 8 I've tried with kgs utility with the option 3 to install a recovery. however this tool didn't work. Sometimes it just closed. other times it complained about md5. I think this tool tries to download Juopunutbear windows version and fails because it is no longer available a link for the windows version
phone was rooted, bootloader unlocked, supercid... using Juopunutbear
it had a recovery installed (i think it was 4ext, but i don't remember)
it had CM 10.2 by sultanxda
i replaced the digitizer. first boot everything was working.
I rebooted to enter the recovery to install a new rom but i can't
i can't boot to rom or recovery. i just get the htc logo bootloop
fastboot tells me remote not allowed
image attached
the bootloader was unlocked, but the "Locked" word was always there if i remember well, i read this was because of unlocking with Juopunutbear instead of htc dev, but that this didn't matter

Try to flash 3.33 universal firmware (check md5 sum before flashing important ) that will give you patched hboot (unlocked) after that try to flash recovery
Edit: here is link for firmware , read the steps carefull Firmware
Sent from my HTCSensation using xda app-developers app

yes do as Mile_zdr suggested
with locked bootloader you can't do almost nothing
before flashing 3.33 universal firmware check md5 sums(important)
by the way i thought you still had unlocked bootloader
edit: because of locked bootloader you don't have access to the rom and recovery

I had unlocked the bootloader with unlimited.io juopunutbear, this is very strange. As I said, I read somewhere that the locked word is there if you use the juopunutbear method, but it was supposedly unlocked. the only thing I did was change the digitizer.
but yeah it looks like it is locked if i can't use fastboot nor recovery. thank you very much, I'll try that firmware and tell you

How should i flash it?
what are the options to do it?
should i do it with fastboot? what would be the command?
So far, if i select recovery, all i get is the htc logo bootloop
Whatever I've tried with fastboot gives me remote not allowed
If i place it as a zip on the microsd with the proper name, nothing happens either
I don't know what else to do.
I know it's confusing to help this way.
I could show you a video or maybe with videocall somehow to show everything?

put the firmware.zip in the root of your sdcard as you did(name it as pg58img.zip if it doesn't already)
then boot into bootloader and it will scan and detect it automatically
it will ask you to update
edit: for the command i think is fastboot flash zip pg58img.zip but i am not so sure

yeah I did something! Now I have 3.33, but still bootloop when turning it on and when selecting recovery.
I already had tried like you said puting the recovery or the 3.33 firmware on the sd as zip with that name but it didn't fix anything.
I was able to flash universal firmware 3.33 this way, not sure if that would be fine but i risked:
now boot looks like this compared to the image i attached on the first page
then I was able to flash 4ext recovery this way
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it said sending ok, writing ok, finished
it didn't give me the remote not allowed error
however i still have the green htc on white bootloop. I also have this bootloop when i try to select recovery
this happens when i put the recovery zip renamed on the sd root, but nothing else
Excuse the potato camera

I already tried that way, it says that I flashed it and went ok, however I still get the green htc on white bootloop when I select recovery or just boot.
Your phone will (re)boot, wait until you see a white screen which says "FASTBOOT USB"
Type in: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Wait until the flashing is finished
Type in: fastboot reboot
I had problems uploading the images on the post before, they should appear now if reloaded
I'm out of ideas, any suggestion?

Did you delete the PG58IMG file? you got to delete. it eject your sd card and if you have sd card reader delete the file or try to go to recovery without sd card

yeah I've tried putting different recoveries on the sd, no luck.
then I've deleted them and tried to flash them via fastboot
it all says ok, transfered and installed succesfully (no remote not allowed errors now), but i still get the htc bootloop then if i select recovery or boot normally
i also tried to fastboot flash the recovery without sd card, but still the same

did you try to go to recovery without sd card or use another sd card (not to flash just go to recovery with other sd card)
otherwise i don't have any other thoughts mate... :/

why you using
Code:
fastboot boot
and not
Code:
fastboot flash boot

are you trying to backup your partition before going full root??
don't do fastboot flash boot you will not have stock boot.img backup you can try
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot boot a.img

fastboot flash boot command is permanent (you will have permanent TWRP recovery installed on your phone)
fastboot boot command is temporary (It would just load TWRP temporary and used for mainly file recovery or backup)
it's depends on your decision

ahhh ok, then can I install the twrp using the img and the command "fastboot flash boot"? is it just to install the recovery? Sorry I haven't done these procedures for a long time.

that video is not full guide its does not show how to backup partition incase your phone does not boot anymore after installing TWRP ...
do you have stock rom of your phone just incase it does not boot again?
yes fastboot flash boot just make sure it's correct version of TWRP you are flashing

I agree with that mindset kinda risky also it's kinda terrible how to tell to your mother you broke your phone because you followed an Indian tutorial on youtube
thou like Adolf Hitler said " Your strength is only as strong as your commitment "
