OTA ARABIC 1.57.415.3 and WARANTY IS BACK

Dear ALL
Today I did Manage to re-lock the Chacha bootloader to win the waranty back here is what I did
1- My ChaCha is an Arabic version bought it from egypt it was coming with ROM (( RUU_Chacha_HTC_ARA_1.22.415.2_Radio_47.14.35.3030H_7.47.35.17_release_198595_signed.exe )) you can find it somewhere in ChaCha thread .
2- I did extract the above rom and i toke the file called rom.zip then i did extract it
3- i did flash boot.img , radio.img , recovery.img and system.img using fastboot.exe
CMD
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
then
fastboot.exe flash radio radio.img
then
fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
then
fastboot.exe flash system system.img
then
Factory Rest
then
Restart
4- The ROM 1.22.415.2 installed on my Chacha and working super . I went to Settings > About Phone > Software Updates > Check now . the system asked me to download the new update then I did
5- For sure before i install the update I looked for the OTA update on my phone and i managed to find it on my SD under folder called download (( OTA_Chacha_HTC_ARA_1.57.415.3-1.22.415.2_release_228158ps5fo8iej85c5rzr.zip )) Here is a link of the OTA update
http://ifile.it/y5jwsx2/OTA_Chacha_HTC_ARA_1.57.415.3-1.22.415.2_release_228158ps5fo8iej85c5rzr.zip
6- I asked the Updater to install the OTA ROM
7- The rom installed i did uncheck fastboot from Settings > Power > Fastboot
8- I checked the Bootloader i found it as before i start to unlock it via HTCdev unlocker with the stock bootloader 1.07.0000 S-ON RL
Cheersssssssssssssssssssssss yahoooooooooooooooooooooo My waranty is back

I haven't checked on the Chacha, but on Motorola's there's a flash in fastboot that can tell you if warranty is void because of unlocking. Even relocking won't reset the flag.

adlx.xda lets look for it but i don`t think that HTC is that smart anyways if so no problem at less that it downgraded the Hboot from 1.10.0000 to 1.07.0000 and lock it
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using XDA App

the variable I know from Motorola is: iswarrantyvoid
fastboot getvar iswarrantyvoid
Idk if it's valid for HTC though. Not tried yet.

is that usefull ?

I wouldn't count on this actually working tbh... I downgraded my bootloader to 1.04.0000, updated to 1.07.0000, then 1.10.0000 (the one from HTCDev) just to see what would happen, and upon applying 1.10.0000, it still showed as *** UNLOCKED ***. Doing a fastboot oem lock won't work either, your bootloader will say *** RELOCKED ***.
In short: the unlock flag is stored in a secret partition and is still visible no matter what bootloader is running

Dear qzfive..
I think you did S-Off to your device using XTC clip ? OR you did the downgrade using gold card ? Right

I S-OFF'd via the Clip a good month before HTC-Dev unlock, however that's not relevant in this situation. S-OFF and the HTC-Dev unlock definitely appear to be two seperate flags, since some people haven't used the Clip and have an HTC-Dev unlocked bootloader are S-ON.
I think that the HTC-Dev unlock/relock flag is on the same partition as the @secuflag, which controls S-ON and S-OFF. HTC would know how to read this partition and read the flags to determine if your warranty is void or not. Also, remember when you started the HTC-Dev unlock, and you had to get a unique ID key from your device? Chances are they also save that key onto their systems as one that's had its bootloader unlocked.
One additional note: doing radio flashes won't reset the flags either, as when I applied the different HBOOTS, radios were flashed along with them as part of an RUU or OTA.
Either way, after we've used the HTC-Dev unlock, we can say goodbye to our warranties

Dear I agree with you but if there is no secueflag says its locked or unlocked only and about the saving the code in thier system easy i can complain about maybe some hacker did stolen my SN. or somthing and he did register with it in thier system
any ways Warranty on or off i dont care because HTC service they are useless at the end
I am going to search how to read the SecureFlag from the partattion
Thank you any ways

You can reupload the file please?

I will upload it again tomorrow
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

how did u extract the ruu.exe file?, what program did u use?
I tried winrar and 7zip but nothing worked!

for extracting ruu file....
run the ruu.exe
wait till view read me and chacha image page come....
then..in computer..go to c>user>username>appdata>local>temp..
there you can folder with numbers..
select that folder and check,there will be a file named rom.zip..
extract that file..then flash the images..
sorry for bad english.....

could you re-upload please ?

Where can i get the boot.img , radio.img , recovery.img and system.img

tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488672 but no luck.when starts to flash the recovery,the vertical progress bar stops and the phone begins to vibrate.
He also tried to flash the eng hboot to run a RUU,but seems he can't flash the hboot (hangs on "writing hboot").
thanks for any help.

Did your friend happen to pull his battery anytime before all this started?
Recovery doesn't just "disappear" - he must have done something prior to that...
Anyway, the first thing is to rule out (or in) a fried eMMC
So do this:
Set up adb/fastboot and connect your phone (link in my sig)
Then connect your device to the PC, enter recovery, open cmd (command prompt) on the PC and type:
adb shell
dmesg | grep mmc0
For further details, consult this excellent guide by amidabuddha:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1284196

thanks for the quick reply.when I have the output of the dmesg | grep mmc0 ,I'll post here.I haven't the phone with me,so I have to wait for my friend.

the phone,does not appear to be recognized by adb
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices

but through fastboot devices the output is mb139tj10369 fastboot.
any ideas?

Well, since you can get to fastboot, try this anyway.
Also, see if flashing recovery again gets you up and running.
Boot into fastboot on the phone, and using the cmd terminal, push a new recovery to the phone. I'm attaching 4EXT recovery. Just download it, extract recovery.img from the zip file, put it into your adb/fastboot folder and issue the following command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then try to boot into recovery and tell me what you see...

Okay, i'm attaching 4EXT recovery in PG88IMG.zip format. Just place this on your sd card root, and boot into bootloader... it will try to flash this recovery on its own the moment it detects it. Let's see what happens...

I don't know what was there in that file... so i sent you mine.
But if fastboot wasn't working, the possibility of an eMMC brick is looming larger...
Just try the commands i asked you to type in my first post... I mean boot into bootloader, then see if these commands cough up a report... if it doesn't work, boot into fastboot and try again. You must have some kind of recovery man...
Also, you didn't say what happens when you select Recovery option from the bootloader... what happens?

...same as before,when starts to flash the recovery,the vertical progress bar stops and the phone hangs on "do not power off the device".
tried the dmesg | grep mmc0 both from bootloader and from fastboot but the phone,does not appear to be recognized by adb.
when he select recovery from the bootloader,appears the white screen with the htc logo,then the phone turns off itself vibrating.

Then i think your friend might have fried his eMMC.
Last resort is to call in the expert : Send a PM to amidabuddha, the guy whose guide i linked in my first post. I haven't found anyone more knowledgeable in these matters. If anyone can help you, its him.
I hope you can salvage the device...but its not looking very good....

thanks for your help,I'lll contact the expert

...and the expert has decreed:fried eMMC

One Mini s-ON, trying to get s-OFF

Hey guys, I have a problem with this phone HTC one mini, in fact I'm trying to unlock it with Sieempi method, but for this I need the device to be s-off. I unlocked the bootloader, the device be rooted, and when I try to use Rumrunner i got this error message.
Code:
Dear User: We will expect that YOU:
(1) Know how to use ADB and FASTBOOT binaries
---- [Yes, use these tools to test USB connection BEFORE running rumrunner] ----
(2) Realize that rumrunner S-OFF cannot support every CUSTOM rom in this world
(3) Understand that irc support IS NOT A GENERAL HELPDESK
(4) Are able to identify and download the CORRECT package for YOUR device
(5) Know how to enable USB-debugging on YOUR device (Yes, do that now)
(6) Understand that you may NOT repack or redistribute rumrunner S-OFF
Ok?
(Yes/No)
Yes
!! Do NOT for any reason taunt, unplug, drop, eat or pet your device !!
Please wait....

Checking for updates......
Test 1: Rebooting into bootloader
Waiting for fastboot (19/120)

Test 2: Booting device

hold please..............................................

Rebooting into bootloader (again)

chilling..................
it's a little stinky here, hmm....
bottles are packed, here we go, shhhhhh....
hmm, cap is on tighter than I expected........
hell, that damn cap is on REALLY tight.......
unfortunately this isn't going to work out with your configuration. you have 2 options:
1.) flash an unsecure kernel that's compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner (preferred and most reliable method).
2.) flash a different rom.
NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk's is going to fix this issue for you!!!.
Better luck next time!!!!bye

Then i find this theard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573479
And download this two files, but then I stuck.
I'm not sure how to do the rest, but I tried it this way and I have failed.
I unpacked JmzM4_Kernel-09-4-13.zip file, and copied the boot.img file in the SDK folder from where I started CMD. In the CMD I typed "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and I got the message OK.
Then I went into recovery and found JmzM4_Kernel-09-4-13.zip file on the internal memory of a cell phone and I tried to install it (so I read) a zip file, and then I got the error MD5 file check, something like that.
I then reboot to recovery again and tried to install "JmzM4StockRootedOdex-WWE 1.22.401.1" also a zip file, and again the same error MD5 file check.
Then the phone in fastboot mode remained and could not boot the system. So I had to do a restore of backup I in which they made before I got into flash kernel, and roma.
Here is also my fastboot getvar all the info.

Can someone tell me what is the solution for my problem, I just want my device S-off to try Sieempi method of unlocking, to see if it works. Thx!

Nothing? I try a couple thing more. I think its problem in the file I downloaded, and download a MD5 checker, and says thats ok. Then I save a md5 file from Md5 checker @ the same folder like zip file, and run again from recovery, and now got another error, you can see image.

Please lock theard, phone was smashed. I lost nerves!

Hi Errornt
pardon if i only post today!
had your same situation and now i've solved! the solution? just flash a new kernel! i've used xXminiWHOOPERxX Kernel and now.... i'm s-off
so, unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and root, flash an insecure kernel with fastboot method and run rumrunner
that's all
i'm sorry for your smashed phone

I'm currently fixing the same issue now with my mini, the issue itself is the lower battery voltage (<4300 mV) due to not being used for a long time. What I did is create a batch file if you are using windows with this content:
Code:
@echo off
:start
fastboot getvar battery-voltage
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping /n 6 localhost >nul
goto start
save it inside the folder where you have fastboot and adb then double click on it to start the script, it will put the phone in reboot loop until it got juice enough to power up, hope it'll help you!

Im stuck in fastboot, not fastboot usb. i can only go into bootloader where i have the following options:

It wont go into recovery mode
