Need help unlocking bootloader - HTC ChaCha

I've tried all day to unlock my bootloader, I followed all the steps on htc's website to no avail, my software version is 1.54.401.3 I couldn't see it listed on the unlock website, I tried installing any of the other ruu's and all them get to the same stage when it says rebooting to boot loader and my phone just crashes to a black HTC screen, I've tried installing the ruu manualy and it installs but my version number doesn't change. I'm a the end of my wits now, can anyone help me please

You didn't see the long block of text ?
But you see the folder on the phone, like the image on HTCdev site.

Your phone or maybe your desktops OS have problem or maybe you follow the steps wrongly.
Just reset everything (I mean your phone & your desktops OS) and try it again... :good:

thx for post !
Try the following command over adb:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(or in terminal emulator on the phone itself, removing the "adb" part of the command).
From there, you should be able to see if your bootloader is locked. Maybe there is a custom recovery out there somewhere for your phone, which you could possibly flash if your bootloader is unlocked. From there you should be able to flash a custom ZIP to root the phone.

adb reboot bootloader over PC, it just restarts the phone...

Well, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas then. Is there an earlier version of Android available for the phone? If so, anyway of downgrading to it and rooting there?
well thanks m8 for ideas But the first try I made was downgrading it to 2.3.5, I find the tutorial on some chinese forum... but PHONE freeze and I get a new one over the warranty
WHERE IS MY HERO WITH THE SOLUTION !! WHEREEEE pleaseeeee Im crying here ;(
desperate bump
Is it simlocked by a provider?
I had a GT540 once, and google removed stuff from hidden menu, and permissions needed to root.
So I know this problem, and I didn't manage to solve it.
Sorry!

There's a post somewhere where you can fix it. I think it was on the Virtuous rom thread. You'll have to flash a zip through recovery.

Help!!!!
Hi guys:
First off I just want to say that I am relatively new to all this. I have successfully rooted my Samsung galaxy S2 in the past (through completely different strategies) and I would really very much appreciated if any of you guys would be able to help me out as I have been trying to root my HTC butterfly for the last 3 hours. And I apologize in advance if the question has been raised before or is nooby, please I am desperate.
I have used a different method than the one instructed on this website in order to root my phone.
These are the steps:
Windows-based PC
HTC Butterfly
Download and install USB drivers on PC. Download HTC USB Driver for Windows
Enable Developer Options on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. How To Enable Developer Options On Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (Optional – Only applicable for Android 4.2 and above)

Instructions:
Register an account on HTCDEV.
With all the necessary files downloaded, extract Desire_DNA_All-In-One_Kit_v2.1.rar into a folder.
Launch the exe file within the extracted folder.
Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable.
Straight to “Get Token ID” and press “Go“.

After the code complete running, your phone will now reboot automatically.
Download CWR and place the downloaded file in the “data” folder of extracted files in step 2.
Your HTC Butterfly has been successfully rooted and with ClockWorkMod Recovery installed.
I have followed the instructions as listed and my phone did reboot and my data was completly wiped clean. However I am not able to do the last step where it tells me to place my ClockWorkMod. I downloaded the file as instructed but I don't think it worked. I installed TitaniumBackUp and RootChecker and both have suggested that my phone has not been rooted.
What should I do now? Should I try using the steps again? I'm afraid that this might "brick" my phone if done repeatedly. Any advice???
Please any help would be immensely appreciated.

Hello! First of all I just want to say thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate someone out here helping a noob
But I still don't really understand what you're saying... I tried to follow the steps on step 2 and it eventually linked me to download goomanager
. From there I clicked install open script but nothing happens. The phone didn't even reboot. (By step 2 you mean the last step where it tells me to install CWR right?)
And I don't understand what you mean by flash SuperSu and busybox to get rooted. How do I do so? Also how do I know whether my phone has unlocked the bootloader? What did all the steps that I have done achieved on my phone thus far???
I'm really sorry I'm very new at this. But I appreciate your help thus far!!! If you could be able to give me a step by step it would be very much appreciated!!!!!
Thanks again!

Dude, you need to warn people about the "PHONE WIPE" after they did the bootloader unlocked, so people would backup their phones.

and need your do deep study for me again,thanks for your always reply!
What action did you do to cause this error in the first place?? Maybe then some one can try & help. Standard help advice would be to flash your device specific firmware using RSD lite 6.
Seems to be he was trying downgrade or he was flashing another carrier or other country firmware

Did you by any chance take a backup if your CID???
Sounds to me like you've lost your CID and without restoring it there's really not much you can do.
And if by chance you didn't that I'm afraid would mean the phone can't be used.
May the -Mass times Acceleration- be with you...

It's screwed CID - unique number. But you can boot with BP tools, reroot with BP tools, install BMM 0.3.4 from playstore. And BMM will bypass CID via 2ndinit.
How to solve this CID error?
I already answered above you!! You can't solve it, you just can bypass it...
Use this tutorial to root via BP Tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078021 .Then install BMM 0.3.4 (on this version you don't need to modify anything, it automated process for A2). And BMM will bypass it via 2ndinit.

Use Power+Voldown+Voldown. When choose with volup bp tools. When rooting program reboots your phone (screen turns black) - hold volup+down buttons & reboot using bo tools.

If you have previously backed up your CID through BMM or otherwise, you can restore it. Go to recovery, fw flashing and then restore CID. Select the backed up CID from your SD card and let it flash. The error message will be gone.
Remember this only works if YOU backed up the CID. Don't attempt to use someone else's.

[Q] How can I make my phone run less sluggishly?

Hey
I have HTC desire s, which is pretty old (i'v had about three years now). In recent months it has started to run more and more sluggishly. After I re-downloaded a game that I played when I first got the phone I realized that my phone had experienced some power-loss, as the game that used to run smoothly now lagged. It wasn't so big deal as I do not play games with my phone so often, but now it feels like apps that I use and pretty much need like whatsapp and internet browser are also starting to lag more.
So now I am trying to find some way to restore my phone do the state it was when I first got it.
I have done almost everything that you can do with an un-rooted phone. (Ram,cache,apps...) I also did "factory reset" which actually seemed to help for a while, but soon the problem came back.
I tried also rooting my phone with super-one-click, but even I followed instructions "perfectly" and the app said my phone is rooted it actually wasn't.
I can try it again if it's necessary.
Thank you for Answers and I apologize for being a noob.

The toolkit provides steps to "Unlock bootloader" via HTCdev.com. You need it unlocked to root or flash a custom recovery.

The toolkit provides steps to "Unlock bootloader" via HTCdev.com. You need it unlocked to root or flash a custom recovery.

When I press install HTC drivers a mesage pops up saying that it will install them, but after that nothing happens. I looked from youtube that a install wizard should pop up, but nothing happens. So what should I do as I think that those drivers aren't being installed.

If you have installed drivers just skip it
Latest drivers are here if needed --> Click me as you never clicked before

Then read carefully. And let me know when your bootloader is unlocked.
Now when I am trying to Get the token ID, again message pops up saying what to do, but still nothing else happens. So I cannot get the Id as I do not get those command prom screens. Something wrong in my toolkit?

You connected your phone in "fastboot" mode?
It toolkit fails (its important that you haven't change the folder name of the toolkit!)
We can do manually --> Go to HTC dev --> http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ select "All other supported models" you also will have to register.
and you need this adb/fastboot http://d-h.st/KIP
My bootloader should now be unlocked

Sim Unlock help

Hi
I have been trying for several hours to sim unlock my htc sensation but seems I cannot find a set of instructions that work
Can anyone please put me onto a youtube video or a set of instructions...
I have been to the revolutionary website but this is missing the Blue box so cannot proceed any further, plus the link for downloading the driver doesn't work
All I am after is a simple set of steps that i can follow to do this
thanks for your help

Boot loader is 1.27.0000 and my OS is Windows 10
Still having trouble, have spent a long time looking at how this is done and now I read I cant use revolutionary way??
The blue box was not being displayed cos of a java or flash issue but it works now but my bootloader is not in the list
any help would be great
cheers

you have 2 ways
to S-OFF the device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631 (revolutionary.io doesn't work for you because you have 1.27 hboot version)
i will send you the files via pm
or
use htcdev method to unlock the bootloader
by the way windows 10 are already released?

the thing is i don't know if adb/fastboot is working on windows 10
there was connectivity issues even on windows 8/8.1
also AFAIK there are no drivers for windows 10 yet
if you want to make your simcard free for any network S-OFF is mandatory
you must make adb/fastboot to get working
and i think windows 10 is a problem
by the way have you enabled usb debugging mode from settings?

Seens it was advised Windows 10 was incompatible, I now have Windows 7 on my PC so giving it another go,
No doubt I will be posting back cos this process has been the most difficult out of all the phones ive done
So I have to unlock the bootloader, achieve S Off, then run a file to remove the sim lock.
Wish me luck
Hmm, still trying!! No luck
Gone from 1 thing to another, every time I try something I need something else first so now am back like 6 steps
Following this link....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCwEbh_JsI8
Got to the Control Bear.exe part but message saying "Device needed to be HTC unlocked"
So went to here >>>> http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Which gave me Fastboot.exe, try to run and get error
The program cant start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing, so I google this and I need SDK Tools installing
So I go here >>>>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781386
I downloaded Android Studio which installed Android SDK Manager so thats done,
But seems I do not have C:\android-sdk-windows
So I found I had SDK folder here >>>> C:\Users\Lee\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
So I moved the Android directory to C:\
Can anybody help, this is really annoying me now
I also have the dll file in a folder I downloaded while following the Youtube video
temproot-sensation-windows
This so far has cost me like over 10 hours of messing round, i clearly do not know what I am doing but all I want to do is take the sim lock off this phone!!!!!!

i will send you the files via pm
Its S-Off now so looking for recovery so I can flash a rom,
cm-11-20141207-Sultan-pyramid
I have read I need a particular recovery to use this, the one I downloaded was an APK but as am still on stock it hasnt worked
Now I am having major trouble with PG58IMG.zip
I have put onto root of SD card so when I HBOOT it tries to install, but says no IMG file
So I do the fastboot way by copying in the fastboot directory and following the relevant commands, seems to finish OK
But still no recovery,
Now I am seeing ***LOCKED*** at top of my screen???? is this right????
Words fail me how ridiculous this process is just to remove the SIM lock??????
Now I am trying with PG58DIAG in the root of my SD card
This attempts to run but I get a security fail!, Update Fail!
Can someone please help
Thanks
