[Q] need help - HTC ChaCha

Hi guys,
first of all sorry for posting this request in new thread..
actually i am not able to find the relevant solution (i could say that my searching skills are not so good)....
I need to update my os from 2.3 to 4.0
steps tried:
first of all ...all posts suggested me to root the phone....
1. tried to root the phone using DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su but it says failed.
2. tried to root the phone using htcsupertoolv3 failed.
now i have installed android development kit on the computer and have htc sync latest version installed so i am able to communicate to the device still the problem persists.
i tried to use the site htcdev for bootloader and selected the device htc chacha and asia india there it says *HBOOT update required.
now my device details are
CHACHA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.04.0000
MICROP-0557
RADIO-7.47.35.17
may 31 2011,14:19:21
still i went ahead and tried to run the htc bootloader and got the message
your ROM version is not the latest version please upgrade to 1.57.720.1 to apply this RUU to be able to unlock your bootloader.
on your phone go to menu > settings > about phone > software updates > check now
i did try to update but it says no updates available.
please advice the next steps to be followed....

Was there an error 190? I had to downgrade my chacha before I could unlock the bootloader, rooting was easy however. I used a program called Unlock Root. If you search for error 190 you will find a way around it, there is a post somewhere in the forums here.

***LOCKED***Security Warning on bootloader

Hi all,
I have tired to flash the new Rom yesterday and during checking the signature device reboot and installer said that it can not proceed.
After reboot phone goes directly into fastboot and gives ***Locked*** with Security Warning massage. I have tried different RUU but it is exactly the same.
Installation is failing on the checking signature.
I have tried Unrevoked3 but it is not able to find the device. Could you please let me know how to do it?

LE: hope it works now, if not search the forum, the link reffers to the search results.
You will certainly get the answer there.
Link does not work:
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
I have tried to find an answer but no luck so far, I am quite new to this. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction?
Another solution is to try the RUU 2.10.401.8
I had some problems with the same Ruu, but not with the signature, and the previous version worked flawlesly.
What's your CID?
Sent from my HTC Desire S
I have tried few others RUU and every single of them is falling during the installation.
ok I manage to unlock the device finally
But again it is falling during the installation of a new ROM. Do I have to revert back Hboot to 0.98 before installation? if so how to do it?
So the RUU that I recommended completed successfully?
What do you want to do next?
Now you are S-ON, if you want to install custom roms you have to unlock your bootloader with the htcdev method(you will lose your warranty and need to flag manually the boot file) or to downgrade.

I want to downgrade the phone to orginal ROM T-mobile uk. So I could take off the simlock, I have put the unlocking code yesterday but nothing happens. I was advised to downgrade the rom and should be ok.
Could some help me out with my problem please when ever I am trying to upload new rom it is stuck on signature verification.
I will quote Enigmaamit as he said it better than me:

SIM unlock and bootloader unlock are two completely different things.

The only way to SIM-unlock your phone yourself is a XTC clip... better ask your phone operator.
I know the diffrance between those two, I have ordered unlocking code. After putting this into device when ever I put into new sim card it stoped nofifing me about it. But it is not able to find a new network. Below what I have receive form operator:
"It said "Successful" but nothing has happened

posted this on Apr 11 16:22
This has happened to a handful of customers who have all had one thing in common - the phones have been "rooted".
By rooting a handset the owner has removed some of the restrictions on the phone, which allows the owner to install whichever software of the phone that they wish. Unfortunately this has caused some issues when an unlock code has been entered.
It is easily rectified by reinstalling the original operating system that the phone was supplied with, then applying the unlock code and the phone should be unlocked, truly, successfully.
You can then reinstall the software you had on the phone before attempting the unlock and continue using the phone as you wish."
So that is the reason why I am trying to revert any changes.
i for one don't believe this
So their replay is bull**** in that case?
In my opinion yes(i can't say that i am a very experienced user) but i like to think i know some stuff about this.
I can't imagine what custom rom/Ruu version/app will "block" you to sim unlock your phone.
The only restrictions may be made by the phone manufacturer.
So i will try through HTC Clip in that case. But why I can upload any new RUU?
like i said earlier, i had some problems to with the 2.10.401.9 ruu.
Try the 2.10.401.8 it should work, if your phone is branded try a gold card.

Can't run RUU due to upgraded ROM
Hi,
I'm having the same problem. My phone had a software update recently which upgraded the rom to 1.54.401.3 and now I can't use the RUU tool, as it requires 1.54.401.2.
Is there any way to downgrade back to 1.54.401.2 so we can use the RUU tool?

Thanks mRzaame.
Thanks dude if i were near abt ur place i woulnt mind at all .... But i am stuck in bolton for a while

no bother at all
finally i found the solution!
nobody need to downgrade, and you don't even need to download the RUU 1.54.401.3. just skip this step 1 of unlock and go directly to step 2,
i did it my phone now is unlocked and i rooted it!
but before you go to step 2 make sure to enable USB debugging. (From the Home screen, MENU > Settings > Applications > Development > Check USB debugging)
Connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable that came with your phone. Wait a moment for your computer to identify your phone, this may take a few minutes
Very nice marwanbaradii!
its working
Tnx that was the solutions i needed
Hi marwanbaradii . I need to know what step 2 is and how to go about it?
Thanks

So This is my first attempt on rooting with Android Device aka NOOB.
Anyway, Im trying to bootloader unlock it and so I download the requirement RUU from HTCdev. However, every time I tried to update it, the dang thing give me an error with "need to update to the latest software". So I checked for update and my device has the latest software 3.01.652.1
I haven't try the manual update thru microsd, since Im afraid to brick my device.
Anyway, the device info.

[Q] My phone is bricked (or what ever)

Hi
Before starting I want you to know that I have been through 5-10 threads regarding the subject problem and still not know what to do. I am basically a layman to Flashing. The most adventurous thing I have done is downgrading a Sony Xperia Arc S from ICS to Gingerbread using a simple sofware sort of thing called "flashtool" and downloading ......... (i am leaving it blank cuz at the moment I am quite confused. Lets call it its original firmware)
And before I can explain the problem I am confused between the following terms: RECOVERY, ROM, KERNEL and RUU. Kernel i know is a software layer between H/w and OS. But then why we need to flash it seperately???? it should be a part of OS: which i think is called a ROM. RUU is the update to a recovery. but what exactly is the difference between ROM and RECOVERY. both seem to be like some sort of an image file that contains complete OS. Then there are bloody BOOTs that you have to unlock and keep lock at some times. God knows why
Now coming to the problem:
My HTC One X (bought here in Pakistan and should be containing the international firmware, i dont know for sure)
One fine morning a few days ago my phone showed up the update HTC released recently which changes the appearance of the GUI. I was quite happy to see it and immediately selected the option to install the update. The update ran and installed successfully. I used the new GUI for 2 days or so and then suddenly my phone got stoned (or brick or stuck). It turned off when i tried to use it and then started showing

So I am screwed really badly. The USB debugging mode that i know is essential to install a firmware is not enabled. and my device is not rooted. The device is not charging up properly.
I have downloaded Hansoon all in one toolkit (which seems to be of no use since debugging mode is not enabled). I have android SKD downloaded in my pc. so is HTC Sync. But dont have any idea where to begin.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I WANT TO SAVE THE DATA INSIDE THE PHONE THAT I CANT ACCESS.
..... i am trying to root the device using hansoon. but for that i need to generate some sort of a code. Now my device is showing up one option named barcode where i can see MB SN and IMEI of the device. is it possible to generate that code using these three???
I think I have posted it in the wrong forum. mods please delete it. I am starting a new thread in the right forum
Your phone is HTC one X Endeavour ......this forum for HTC one X Evita.....please check HTC one X forum ....we can't really help u that much ... BTW u go to www.htcdev.com to generate unlock_code.bin and follow instruction from there coz right now your bootloader show ****security warning****

HTC One A9 updating to nougat problem !

Hello everybody,
I can't update my phone HTC One A9 to nougat using RUU_HIA_AERO_WHL_N70_SENSE80GP_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_2.18.651.2.exe, an error 10 occurs when updating. After contacting HTC Support, they tell me that my phone have three changes on three parts (the bootloader status (formerly UNLOCKED, now RELOCKED), (2) the security status (S-OFF) and (3) the Recovery tool (TWRP). Since all three have been changed i must proceed restoring the stock features step by step. The first thing they recommend is to restore the Android Recovery tool to the stock recovery.
For the bootloader is OK , it is now relocked, but i cant restore the recovery.
I need your help, my phone is not stable at all.
thanks in advace.

after reinstalling Htc sync manager and trying to update with RUU it give error 132 signature error.
i am starting to hate HTC. After 8 years of fidelity I think it s time to change my beloved company.
Unlock bootloader again
Change cid to correct version
You may have to do updates manually up to latest to be able to flash 2.18 RUU
Boot phone into download mode
Run the RUU If get an error try suggested manual updates
Good luck

The first post made me lol, HTC CS as bad as usual, they don't know their own product.
Re-locking the bootloader wasn't necessary
Flashing back the stock recovery neither
You are getting error 132 because you are trying to flash a Nougat ruu (2.x.xxx.x) but your phone still runing the Marshmallow firmware (1.x.xxx.x). Normally this is not a problem to update HTC phones using a RUU but this particular model of HTC is problematic because they changed signature key between version 1.x and 2.x which mean even if you are trying to flash the right RUU version for your phone, you'll get a signature error if flashing from marshmallow to nougat.
This is easily fixable, manually update your firmware to Nougat (so your phone will have the new key) using fastboot then flash the Nougat RUU
