Chacha problems after OTA 1.54.401.3

Hello,
My wife's Chacha has been ota updated to 1.54.401.3. Result was broken wi/fi connectivity. Phone is however s-on and locked. So, I decided to s/off it and root etc. But, htcdev utility for unlocking bootloader does not work, since the latest supported version is 1.54.401.2.
I've tried to install RUU European 1.33, but without success (also tried with the gold card) .
My idea is to downgrade it somehow in order to s/off, root and install custom rom, since she had a lot problems with stock ones, but i am stuck. Any help would be much appreciated.

my wife phone does have problem with connection phone calls
Didn't root or any stuff (she does not need it)
Now all hell breaks....
but wifi works

I am in your exact same situation. My wife's phone seems to be an HTC Europe phone and I too can't unlock it because it has been upgraded automatically to 1.54.401.3. Did you manage any progress?

+1 Here. Chacha is rooted but s-on. Does not want to unlock again via HTC website, and unable to unroot.

1) you mean Sim - unlocked right? In that case it won't get locked even if you update the phone software.
2)First and important step is using the search function and I known its very hard for you but once in a while try using the search function, trust me you won't get tired

And don't update. The newest 2.20 version firmware is not currently rootable. And hope you don't already have 2.20 on the phone.

You cannot run an RUU on a boot loader unlocked phone. relock it first.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. I guess I'll hold off 4.0.4 for now...

You need to read some more, before running things willy-nilly without the proper research.
I would advise against running the 2.20 RUU. As I already mentioned, it updates the hboot, which robs you of the ability to flash kernels and radios. There is no upside to it, since you can flash the ROM in other ways. Your phone is bootloader unlocked, and has full ability to flash kernels and radios. These are all good things. Don't take a step backward by flashing the 2.20 RUU.
If all you want is to update the ROM to 2.20, just flash the pre-rooted ROM (which will not replace the hboot): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459
But in fact, these are more recent versions:

Ya know, you guys CAN extract the rom.zip from 2.2x ruu and pull each image and flash them individually to get the 2.2x updates and keep your unlocked 1.09 hboot intact. That way you dont have to do the kernal flashing and what not. It will be fully updated, sbl's, radio everything.:beer:

how I wish I had done this.

Thanks a lot guys. I should have done some research. I bought this phone second hand thinking "unlocked" meant I could use it on other networks --didn't know the previous owner meant he unlocked the bootloader...hahaha...I guess i'll do some research to relock it.

Didn't read a thing I typed, apparently.
No need to relock it. Just run one of the stock rooted or custom ROMs in Development. Flash a new radio if you want.

I'm sorry, i really don't know how to do any of those stuff...
I just got the phone a couple of days ago and i am still waiting on my t-mobile non-gba micro sim that i ordered online, now im really not sure anymore if its unlocked to other networks...
I won't know til that sim card gets here, but in the mean time i'll do some reading on all those stuff you mentioned =)

I went to the HTC site and did a manual update, but I dont have sense 4.1. anyone know if the ATT version will get it?

plz help
I have a at&t one x I bought last night that is unlocked and I am using on telus.
The phone isn't rooted and is running on android 4.0.3 and HTC sence 4.0
When I try to update it nothing happens. My brother has the same phone thro telus and has received updates. I have went to settings about phoneat&t updates but when I search it does not do nothing .

An AT&T phone won't get the updates unless it's on their network it seems. Just download the ruu

Bump. I unlocked my Rogers One X a while back, because I am planning on selling it. Since that time though, I have run an RUU on it. I no longer have another carrier's SIM card to test, so I just want to know if the unlock is permanent , or if it gets relocked when an RUU or factory reset is run.

The SIM unlock is permanent and will survive any RUU or factory reset.

[REF] Dead/Bricked phone after JB OTA, QHSUSB_DLOAD

Hi All,
There are more and more reports coming in from people who ended up with a dead/bricked phone after the JellyBean Update 4.1.1 , 3.16.401.8 OTA. As you connect it to your PC you will soon find out it's in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.
The purpose of this threat is to see how many people are affected, what people have done to attempt to recover their phone, and to find a possible solution (this chance seems rather small though).
There are alot of post about this in the JellyBean Speculation/News/Discussion threat, starting from page 157.
There are 2 threats about it in Q&A:
One S in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode
My HTC to really died
Reported attempts to recover:
QHSUSB_DLOAD Fix by team Unlimited
Unbricking HTC devices with the QHSUSB_DLOAD issue tutorial by kgs1992
Step 3 (and some others) from [TUT] Downgrade/Unbrick Ville S4
Another HTC one V recover guide where i can't find the link for.
Please report here if you have this issue. Please mention your CID, in what country you downloaded the OTA, the software version you upgrade from and the hboot version.
Also any new ideas to recover our phones our self are welcome!
My phone:
2.31 Unbranded Europe
1.14 Hboot
Downloaded in The Netherlands
1111111 Supercid

I have exactly the same problem, waiting...

As far as I know the issue is only caused by people who previously had SuperCID.

I thought I saw a report of a fully stock device and one htc__001 cid as well. I can't find them at the moment, but this is also why I started this threat. But there seem to be more of these reports of supercid indeed, though there are also allot with supercid who successfully updated.

My phone is bricked too
Orginal CID was HTC_0001 (maybe), branded by 1&1 Germany
but changed to 11111111 to flash a unbranded RUU (what had worked)
I had Stock Recovery and relocked bootloader

My phone is bricked too
SuperCID 11111111 Hboot 1.14 Recovery Stock y Relocked bootloader.

My phone is bricked too
Orginal CID was HTC_203 (maybe), not branded by telecom company - France
but changed to 11111111
I had Stock Recovery and relocked bootloader and flash the 2.31 RUU

Dam it didnt mean to hit thank so enjoy that lol.
@Vauix, did you run a RUU before updating? if so what one?

let's discuss who and what options tried to output the list of sections? How you think why it happened?

All of them seem to be caused by SuperCID. But the updater script allows flashing for SuperCID, so I wonder why they get bricked.

I agree with you. But what it is necessary to undertake that Ubuntu saw sections?

Same here.
SuperCID and ota

Yes I ran a RUU prior to flashing this update, i didn't chance anything to the rom yet but to search for the OTA. it was the RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5_Radio_1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L_release_275655_signed.exe
I thought about my supercid before I ran the RUU but i thought the worst thing that could happen was i could get a error that it couldn't flash it.
Its rather weird that some guys with supercid managed to flash it successfully. And i still think I saw some people with other cid's with bricked devices.

SuperCID too, previously Vodafone germany, unbranded an relocked ...

I ran the OTA update twice on my supercid'd device successfully.
In opposite to what I could read here, my bootloader was unlocked before and still after the update.
The first time I ran the update I forgot to reflash stock recovery. The phone started updating and rebooted, but no changes had happened. After restoring stock recovery and downloading the update again, I successfully updated.
As I couldn't get root I restored Venom and downgraded my new hboot from 2.15 to 1.06.
Today I started a second try successfully without a glitch.
Basically I keep an untouched nandroid backup of every new rom installation on my local harddisk. This means in case of custom roms I do a nandroid before the first boot.
As this is not possible on stock recovery I change back to custom recovery after the first boot, doing my backup then. I'm just checking the needed boxes otherwise I only proceed during the setup - the complete customization is done afterwards.
In this case I restored a backup called 2012-08-23--08-18-16_htc_stock_2.31
Stock here means: No apps, no customizations, no nothing, simply: stock and supercid.
After that was done I restored apps with Titanium.
That's how it worked (pretty simple) Maybe this will help you find some reasons for what has happened to your devices.

Same problem here...
SuperCID

All people here seem to have SuperCID, I have not.
I got my ville for about 7 months now and never had SuperCID.
I did it like everytime:
-Wiped everything ( Data / Cache / System )
-Flashed Stock Recovery
-Relocked
-Flashed 2.31 Europe RUU in Bootloader ( yes, that works but I guess noone knows )
-Downloaded 4.1.1 Update and let the Device do its magic
Now my phone is bricked.
Strange enough, a good friend of mine whos barely able to use its phone, got the same issue.
Im 100% sure he doesnt have any modifications done to his device.
Already tried the Ubricking-Tutorial but the Partitions just dont show up :-/

I did the super CID, too. No my phone is dead. Won't even charge.
I tried to do Enumerating the partitions but could only find up to 3. No 4 or 12.
Please help :crying:

SuperCID, German ONE S unbranded. Dead.

[Q] how to unlock nd use my at&t HTC one x to normal one x

hello sir, I got at&t HTC one x nd I live in India it is running on android 4.0.4 where I am not able to update my anroid version nd not even on my hot spot. my friend who got a normal HTC one x has got anroid 4.2.2 I hav seen many posts of rooting unloaking I know nothing of it could someone pls help me in knowing what nd hw to root so tht I could use my phone as normal one with a succesful method.I know nothing

We need to see your bootloader details. Turn your phone off, once it's off hold volume down and then power (so you're holding both buttons together), after a few seconds let go of power but keep holding volume until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader, please post the first five lines.

If your friend has a One X, and its not from US or Canada, its a completely different phone. AT&T One X is actually known as the One XL elsewhere (dual core LTE version, code name EVITA). Aside from the US/Canada versions, every other phone branded as the One X is actually the quad core non-LTE version, code name ENDEAVORU.
EVITA and ENDEAVORU are completely different chipsets, and therefore different root methods, recovery ROMs, etc. So make sure you keep it straight and get it right.
For the EVITA, simply look up your firmware version and find the corresponding root, bootloader unlock, etc. on my Index thread:

I purchased my phone from kijiji, it was an unlocked Rogers phone, I rooted it, changed the rom to Viper XL 4.2.0 and also on TWRP 2.6.3. And I've also unlocked the boot loader from htcdev.com
I have somehow been able to change my rom and my recovery, but still S-ON?
I'm having issues with my phone rebooting, radio shutting off and the comments i've read state that I need to change my radio and/or my kernel, but i'm still s-on. I've read that I shouldn't have been able to get this far.
Last time I tried to change my kernel I got boot loops and had to re flash my rom.
Now I'm stopping and seeking help on what I should do.
Advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Of course you can change ROM and recovery while s-on, you have an unlocked bootloader. S-off is completely different from having an unlocked bootloader. An unlocked bootloader means you can install a custom recovery and therefore custom ROMs. S-off disables security checks, for people with hboot 1.14 this means no longer having to flash a boot.img via fastboot. It also means you can flash radios, and change your hboot. It also removes the risk of bricking your phone while running a jb RUU with SuperCID. To be honest I'm surprised you made it this far, not because you're s-on, but because you seem to lack a basic understanding of modifying your device.
If you want to continue using Viper (or any Sense 5 ROM) you need to get s-off so you can upgrade to the 2.15 firmware package.

S-off isn't needed for installing custom ROMs. All you need is bootloader unlock. Its just needed if you want to do other things (like timmaaa mentioned) such as modify hboot or flash a different radio.
If you were having trouble with the Beastmode Kernel, I think some folks had to install Beastmode 2.0, then 3.5. But you can look through the Beastmode thread for details on solving the bootloop, as you are not the only one, by any means.
Of course, s-off by the Facepalm method (very easy to accomplish) then flashing the 2.15 firmware is the other solution for random reboots.

[Q] s-off / supercid

so i managed to solve my recovery problem. i finally got twrp 2712 onto my device.
bootloader is unlocked
recovery on
superuser on..
hboot 2.15 s-on
i dont remember dealing with supercid when i rooted my old htc incredible.. from what im reading it allows us to use other carrier roms on the device?? im on tmobile and comfortable with that.. is modifying the CID actually necessary? im not planning on receiving any ota's n such.. just want the ability to flash radio's if need be and roms.. If i can skip CId and go to s-off that'd be fine with me, unless its needed for something else.. Will Ibe able to s-off without CID modified? cracking this ****er has been a little bit more difficult the past few phones ive had to do.. thanks much for the help..

As a noob, I installed CM 11 in February without s-off or super-cid (was too afraid to brick my phone). CM works great without s-off, but you need to flash boot.IMG on every update via fastboot.
I did s-off with rumrunner recently without Super-CID. Read my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56185478<br/>

so in moonshine i was getting nowhere.. i had no inclination that the Yes/No were case sensitive to be executed....
