Getting the chacha rooted after htcdev unlock

Dear Members,
A lot of people including my self succesfully unlocked the htc chacha bootloader with the HTCDEV methode. We are verry happy with this developement. Unfortunally every one is trying to get there device rooted now. I tryed manny methodes from this forum but didn't succeed.
Is there anyone who can guide us step by step how to root htc chacha ( s-on but with an unlocked bootloader with the htcdev methode )?
Thx!

In this tread detailed guide to root htc chacha after unlocked you're chacha with the HTCDEV methode. THANKS TO Huff! Enjoy! Dont forget to install Superuser. Superuser will grant root permissions to apps.

A. CWM Recovery:
1. Download PH06img.zip found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1164468
2. Open PH06img.zip and extract recovery.img
3. Copy recovery.img in the Android folder used earlier for HTCDEV unlock.
4. Open CMD and cd to that folder that folder
5. Run this in CMD: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now you should have CWM Recovery installed.
If there are no errors, power off (Fast boot disabled in Power options) and then enter bootloader mode with vol down + power and select Recovery to verify the install.
B. Root:
1. Download su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
2. Copy it to the SD card
3. Enter in CWM Recovery (start the phone with vol down + power, Fast boot disabled in Power options, or battery removed first) and from bootloader select Recovery and press Power button.
3. With the arrow keys from the phone keyboard select Install from SD card and Choose zip from SD card then select su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip and press enter.
4. Press backspace until you're on the main menu of CWM Recovery and select Reboot.

There's no guide that it's 100% correct for S-ON yet.
Just follow this and it will work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184118
The CWM Recovery won't install like it says, you have to extract the image and flash it with fastboot.
Read the last few pages from the other topics, there are others that succeeded (including me).

Good news you got it working! I did try that but i failed .
Could you explain how to do this in a few detailed steps and help us out here? This would be great!

SUCCES! I will post a detailed guide soon!

No time now so just a very quick guide, if I forget something please someone correct me.

You can check the Tweet screenshot on adlx's post where HTC stated that Status was included.
In theory and in practice ChaCha and Status are the same. There are a few hardware differences (the radio for example, since US uses a different GSM bandwidth).

i want to say thank you to all the respected members.

Thank! Working 100%

Thanks, already rooted!

s-off ?

Hboot 1.10.0000 unlocked and recovery 4.0.1.0 installed and working properly but after flashing the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip :
still CHACHA PVT ship S-ON RL ...

That's normal. This procedure wont make it S-OFF. But now you have CWM recovery and root, and you can install any custom rom.

Thanks for your answer ... i knew i got root access as soon as i got cmw but i am looking for s-off as soon as possible, hope alpharev will release some fix for that
are you s-off ? via xtclip or via software ?
which rom are you running ? stock or custom one ?

Hello friends,
Just saw this thread for htc chacha. i just brought my first android phone - chacha. Mine is S-ON. Will this process work on my mobile? And please explain more about 'Android folder' (do u mean the root folder or sd card?) and how to start the command prompt on my mobile Will the dos commands work like cd for change directory? Thanks for the help...

[ ca ne marche pas pour tout le monde, j ai essaye pas mal de fois sur le chacha de ma fiancée mais sans succes ... ]

Why do you need s-off? After unlocking with HTCdev You can flash.. root.. etc.. what do you need more?

Red triangle after official ICS

Hello,
I have troubles with my phone which won't boot. I installed official ICS exe on my computer and after update wizard said that was successfully finished.
When I turn on phone first is HTC sign and then is blank black screen (lightly illuminated) and stays there.
If I remove SD card then I get the red triangle message.
What could be wrong? How do I fix this?
regards
If i press volume down and power:
-Revolutionary-
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002

HBOOT
If i press recovery it goes to black screen again

Do not, ever, EVER, install an official ROM throught the RUU while being on S-OFF

yes, your phone was s-off and you should update by using PG88IMG.zip instead of RUU file.
Do you have goldcard backup? If so you can use goldcard to unbrick.

Yeah I know that now.
I have nothing backed up.
Please do tell me I have hope.

may be it is nandroid backup
can you boot to custom recovery? If yes you can restore from there

I can boot up to bootloader (vol down + pwr)
I can select:
FASTBOOT (reboot reboot bootloader and power down) -> all works
RECOVERY (do not work) phone restarts to HTC logo and then blank screen
FACTORY RESET (do not work) phone restarts to HTC logo and then blank screen
SIMLOCK (dont know?)
IMAGE CRC (work)
In backup folder:
boot.img
cache.img
data.img
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.img

If you can get to fastboot then surely you should be able to use ADB to connect to your phone?

Please tell me more about ADB? How can I try if I am able to use ADB?

have you tried to enter fastboot, connect to PC with USB, and flash the custom recovery once more? Probably, when you tried to apply the RUU - it overwrote the custom recovery with the official one, so you need to reflash the custom one back, access it, and restore a nandroid backup from within it. Then, either use the method to upgrade to ICS but keep root and s-off, or go completely stock and and upgrade to official ICS (with a possibility to root it), or simply flash the prerooted official ICS ROM

Sorry for my noob questions.
I need some software on my PC to flash from computer? Thank you for all you are helping.

things that you need are:
- ADB.exe
- Fastboot.exe
- few .dll files that allow these two to work on your computer
- Fastboot drivers
- and an .img file of the required custom recovery
You can find all of these somewhere in Desire S forums, just search for keywork "[GUIDE]"
Then you can simply follow the instructions from the guide on how to use the adb and fastboot, and you'll be back up and running in no time
And because you're already S-OFF, all you need to do is get the files I listed above, unpack the archive with them in somewhere like C:/, open command prompt, get into bootloader, select "FASTBOOT", and enter the "fastboot flash recovery (recovery name).img" command, then reboot into bootloader again with "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command, and then you'll be able to access the newly flashed custom recovery to restore your backup, and return your phone to life
Seems complicated in text format, but it's actually easier than you might think
EDIT #1: Look here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186401

Many thanks, I will try and report back!
And if I understand when I install ADB I must go for cmd..?

you don't need to install anything other than drivers to allow your PC to work with adb/fastboot commands through CMD. And, if I remember correctly, you should also deinstall HTC Sync program and delete any HTC drivers present on your system currently. Then install fastboot drivers, and you're good to go.
Good luck mate

F.Y.I, if your hboot is ENG S-OFF you can run RUU to update and it will NOT brick your phone.
And here is some link for you to install custom recovery:
- HTC Driver:
www.htcaddicts.com/download.php?id=318
- Android tool (contains adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, fastboot.exe):
http://www.mediafire.com/?4dx982z93w8z7wk
- Custom recovery image (4EXT):
http://downloads.saga-lbc-mod.de/recovery-images/4EXTRecovery_v2.1.0_saga.zip
Download and extract recovery.img from the zip file.
How to flash recovery: open DOS command prompt in the folder where edb.exe is located (recovery.img file should be in the same folder) and type:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Hope this help, good luck

Wow vndnguyen!
I managed to acess 4EXT recovery v2.1.0.
Now I restored system to 2.3.5 sense 3.0 HBOOT and other is the same.
What I need now to do to get ICS the right way? Is this guide good? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858508 I am getting: can't open '/sdcard/hboot.img': No such file or directory

You probably forgot to enable the USB debugging mode? And try to download ADB again

I swapped SD card then it worked.
Successfully installed ICS thank you guys, hope this will be useful for someone.

congratulation

The easiest way is to flash ClockworkMod recovery with fastboot and install Rom Manager. After that, download the CyanogenMod zip you want and flash it. Remember to select back up and wipe data. Those are the two toggle options in the flash screen.
It really isn't all that hard.

I would recommend trwp, not cwm
and if twrp, the 2.3.3.0 seems to be the stablest one.
you have to be unlocked.
this is for s-off. for s-on go the same way with the extra steps at the bottom.
1. put the rom on your sd card and extract the boot.img from the rom
2. put the gapps for 4.2.2 on your sd card
3. turn off, turn on holding power and volume- button
4. connect your device via usb to your pc
5. install latest htc sync drivers
6. switch on your phone to fastboot usb (press power on hboot usb which is blue, it should turn into fastboot usb in red then)
7. download the all in one toolkit
8. download twrp 2.3.3.0
9. rename it to recovery and put it in the aio-folder where adb and fastboot.exe is located. put the boot.img into this folder too.
10. press right-klick when holding shift
11. open command line here
12. type in: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
13. on your phone, go to hboot usb again, than navigate with volume buttons to recovery and press the power button
14. your are in twrp now, tip on wipe, and wipe system, data and cache
15. go back to menu and go to "install"
16. install from sd
17. select the cm.zip and flash it
18. after this, flash the gapps
19. wipe cache and dalvik cache
if you are s-on:
20. reboot to bootloader
21. fastboot usb again
22. open the commandline again
23. fastboot flash boot.img
24. switch to hboot usb again
25. reboot
26. done

Yes, you have to upgrade.
The easiest way is to run a jellybean RUU.exe. Relock your bootloader and run the ruu.exe.
Then go through the steps of unlocking bootloader, installing recovery, flashing a rom, flash the boot.img.
