Hi guys,
I've got an HTC Chacha unlocked bootloader S-ON. I just successfully rooted it yesterday and had CWM installed. Unfortunately, while I was browsing how to increase internal memory via youtube, I installed another CWM (SkinCWM) as his video told the viewers that it can work on any android phone.I even partitioned my SD card for it.
My problem is I cant go to Recovery. It just keeps saying CID Incorrect, Update Fail!
I know there are a lot of CID threads but I assume the problem came when I installed the SkinCWM (for galaxy Y).
Please help. Knowledge on this: Dependent on tutorials.
Thank you.

Connect your phone in fastboot-usb mode and run commend prompt in your pc(if you are using Windows). then go to fastboot.exe directory by typing:
Code:
cd X:\directory
now erase your recovery partition by typing :
Code:
fastboot erase your-partition-name
This trick must solve your problem.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Please bear with me.
1. Im assuming fastboot on my phone's settings will be checked.
2. Will i find the fastboot.exe on my PC (in my case, on my c: fastboot)?
Thanks again.

At first you should download adb-fastboot toolkit to your computer.
Download it here : CLICK TO DOWNLOAD
Then extract it to your Windows drive.
Run Commend Prompt in your computer by typing CMD in RUN.(or anyway)
Type :
Code:
cd C:\Android
(C is your Windows drive, it could be D,E,etc.)
Now boot your phone on fastboot mode and connect it to PC and type :
Code:
fastboot erase <partition>
(you should type your recovery partition name instead of <partition>, it could be
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
etc.)
and you can follow this instruction if you have problem around ROOT : [Guide][S-OFF] How to root HTC Chacha (for S-OFF only)

Thanks mortal. However, as a noob on this, i really dont know how to get the partition name to erase it.... Would a factory reset do the trick? or would it just be in the same scenario after factory reset?

Well I am trying to Flash the latest fagyi NAND for Blackstone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914723
So I did everything, but when I reached the fastboot thingy, I did this:
After ROM flashed, took batter out and restarted device.
Blue screen showed up, forced fastboot, ready USB state, so I connected to PC
Then I opened a command prompt, so now what should I enter in the command prompt! I am using fagyi's fastboot!
Thanks, in advance!
Sorry for double posting, but please someone answer me, or atleast give me a tip/advice!
Do you mean this part?
13. Now connect the Blackstone to your Windows OS and open a CLi/Command prompt
14. Within CLi go to the directory where you place the 'adb files & fastboot.exe' files (from step 2)
15. Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this will flash install the custom CWR)
16. Then type: fastboot boot recovery.img (this will reboot your Blackstone into CWR)

Yeah that exactly!
Step 2 says
2. Extract the 'adb files & fastboot.exe' files to a folder
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so the 1st question is, do you know what folder you put those files in? Note that we're talking about your computer, not your phone. On your computer, open a command prompt by doing Start -> Run... -> cmd (This is Step 13). Navigate to the folder from Step 2 This is Step 14). Then, type the appropriate commands from Steps 15 & 16.
Still don't get it? Ask away!
Um the files are placed in C:
And when I enter the commands, it says 'File too big to fit in memory"? What do I do now?
So your step 14 should be to type cd c:\, then 15 fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Is that when you get the error?
Yes, exactly then!
Ok, try redownloading the fastboot program, or install the Android SDK to get the newest version directly from Google.
I've redowloaded it alot of times! And I already have the Android SDK and am using the latest one!
Are you sure that you're using the correct version of all relevant programs? By that, I mean 32 vs 64-bit.
I am not sure about that, how should I know?
Do you get the same error if you type fastboot devices ?
I havent typed that yet!
EDIT: No I get this - "RH104393397 fastboot"

you need to have fastboot executable installed in that directory also is your phone in debugging mode ?
take a peak at gunny's adb/fastboot primer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
hopefully that'll do it. good luck

Ok I put fastboot in there and it still didn't work. The phone is currently in bootloader. Yes I had debugging on when I switched it to bootloader.
What do you mean by didn't work? What is happening now when you run fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

go into the directory where your adb is and run "adb devices" from command prompt and let's see if your device is recognized, if it isn't it might be your drivers or try a different usb port.

You have adb, fastboot in C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" then you need to goto C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" ( Or folder where adb and fastboot exists) then "Press shift + right click and select "Open command window here" ( open command prompt and cd "folder where adb and fastboot exists) and then execute the command

I don't think you did it correctly, first boot you should see the 4 icons and you need to hit the volume down button on your device (within 10sec) to select USB icon then hit the volume up button to select this setting, now proceed with the instruction on your pc to flash. Make sure you copy the recovery twrp file named" openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-tf700t.blob" from here http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/tf700t to the "install Recovery" folder and RENAME this file to recovery.blob

Sounds like your pc is not communicate correctly with your device. When your device is on and you execute Scott's bat file, is your device reboot into recovery so that you can select fastboot mode? Basically, Scott bat file is using adb command to reboot your device into recovery mode, you manually select and enable fast boot mode on your device, then the script is using fastboot command to push the recovery.blob (located in the same directory as Scott bat file) to your device.

And you did select the USB icon and the text displayed "fastboot" on your device? You also have the twrp renamed to recovery.blob in the same folder as the script? Let manually push this file using fastboot.exe and see what's happens.

don't trust the log from fastboot or any script. Just make sure the recovery.blog is in the same directory of the fastboot command and you must execute fastboot.exe from command prompt.
1. manually boot to fastboot mode from your device. (boot to recovery then select USB icon)
2. Open command prompt and run as admin and navigate to fastboot.exe directory (with recovery.blog in this directory also)
3. type;
fastboot.exe -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.blob
4. Once done, type
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
Let me know the status.

Then type dir then hit enter, make sure your fastboot.exe and recovery.blob are there

Nope, no Odin, but if your device is rooted, you could download goomanager from the market and install twrp using goomanager app.

Where are these stickies at? I'm not finding one in either development forum.
You skipped a step somewhere
Which method are you using? If you are using method 2, you have to set the path (or change directory) - depending on where you installed abd/fastboot to.

You need to have adb and fastboot .exe's in the same directory as the factory images(assuming you're using Windows). Here's a link to a guide. You're definitely not bricked, just some problems with TWRP right now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
i would also suggest you to try to use some toolkit and bring it back to factory setting and then re root it...

You need to open a command prompt in the same directory as the fastboot executable. There are a million tutorials on exactly how to set up your adb/fastboot properly. Even Google provides the instructions on the same page you download the factory images. It isn't hard to do so

I've tried executing the command "fastboot flash bootloader C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/bootloader.img" from C:/android-adb/. It keeps giving me error: cannot open 'C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/bootloader.img'

You're using the wrong slashes. File directories are C:\file\goes\here, not C:/file/goes/here

try making a simple folder . Move all the files from this directory to C:\nexus5\ .
open a command prompt and type this:
Code:
pushd c:\nexus5
then type
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
what is the results
open command prompt from start menu. on mine, it starts me at
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\Users\Austin
Use the command "cd.." to back up until you're at C:\
From there, type
Code:
cd image-hammerhead-krt16m
You should be at that directory now. and it'll say
Code:
C:\image-hammerhead-krt16m
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
(Note: this command will wipe your device (including /sdcard), EVEN if your bootloader is already unlocked.)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
without having to try and navigate to them every time. This worked for me. If you have adb drivers installed correctly and the "adb version" and "fastboot devices" command both work, you're good.
EDIT : Just as a heads up, the last command "fastboot erase cache" messed up something on mine. It wouldn't hold APNs or connect to any network, so I had to run fastboot flash cache cache.img

Its a lot faster and efficient to just type
Code:
pushd c:\image-hammerhead-krt16m
Your method will not work if the user has their documents folder on another partition, which is a smart way to set up your computer.
I had a problem now and i am not found the solution. I bricked my phone after Full wipe

i m tired and i think to destroy my phone PLS HELP ME
I arrived at the point; i need to flash rom but how to copy zip to SD card ?
Sorry for my english too xD
I had the same problem last week.
Try to go in bootloader, then in fastboot and connect the device to the PC, from the PC with the Promt go in your adb folder
Code:
cd c:/[I]position of your folder[/I]
then test if adb sees your device with the command
Code:
adb devices
If it's ok then try again to push again the ROM with the command
Code:
adb push [I]name_of_the_file.zip[/I] /sdcard/zip.rom

Then you should fix the driver problem first, have you tried it with both Win 8.1 and 7?
doesn't work ADB on fastboot mode. both of win 7 and win 8.
BUT in the fastboot mode no driver problem ! i dont understand, you say ; when phone in the fastboot mode, adb push command should work ?
BTW, just now in the fastboot mode, its finally fastboot flash zip rom.zip command works, but *UCKN the new problem occurs
when the write flash command, error : data length is too large!
i investigate this problem now, do you know the problem root cause ?

In a last try you can simply downgrade your hboot and run last ruu. Then re-uprade your hboot and so
Edit : ADB doesn't work in fastboot mode

Sorry if I wasn't clear, what i was saying is that adb push command should work if your adb drivers are working!

I think that's a good solution if you can't push the zip with adb commands, I didn't think of that because when I had the problem I did it with the adb command

I'm not sure about what I'm saying but adb sideload doesn't work on recoveries made for hboot 2.16, aswell as mounting sdcard.
When you try to adb sideload from modded recovery for 2.16, it recognizes only 48mb of memory that's why you can't use it. But I repeat I'm not sure about it I never had to use adb sideload.
Edit : And you cannot flash a rom with fastboot. Flashing zip from it has to be done only when you want ot uprgade/downgrade firmware files in ruu mode
