GUIDE - How to flash radio.img OS X

I couldn't find a guide for this anywhere, so after a lot of trial and error, I worked out this method from various write ups on the web.
Preq's:
Make sure your battery is fully charged (I have no idea why, but it seems to be a must do thing)
You'll need the Android SDK, so make sure you have this and you'll be needing Fastboot for Mac, which you can find here Fastboot
And you need to boot your phone in fastboot mode.
Drop the Fastboot file into to the tools directory of the SDK.
Download your desired radio image and put it in the same same folder.
To make sure Fastboot is working, open Terminal and type "fastboot devices"
(without the speech marks) and hit return. You should see:
List of devices attached
HXXXXXXXXXX device
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
XXXXXXXXXX = the unique number of your phone.
If it doesn't display anything, you need to re-check SDK and Fastboot are installed properly.
If you do, carry on.
Now, the nervous part.
1. Open the tools directory of the SDK in a Finder window and the open a Terminal window.
2. Now, drag the 'fastboot-mac' file in to the Terminal window.
3. Type this (make sure you hit the space bar after typing) :
flash radio
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Now, drag the radio.img to the Terminal window
(It should read something like this)
/Users/Liam/SDK/tools/fastboot flash radio /Users/Liam/SDK/tools/radio.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Hit the return key and wait. Make sure you touch nothing.
6. When terminal has given you the "Okay" message twice, check you phone screen and make sure there isn't a red loading bar on the top left hand side of your phones screen. When this is done, type:
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And hit return.
7. Your phone will reboot and you're done.
If I've missed anything, let me know and I'll add it.

Wrong thread. But the thread you want, and the answer, is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10113370&postcount=91
Do some searching first..
Anyways, yeah, now I can use my MacBook.

This seems to be an odd way of doing it.
Just download the fastboot-mac binary from the htc developer page. Drop it in the platform-tools folder of the androd SDK.
Start a Terminal and run:
/path/to/platform-tools/fastboot-mac flash radio radio.img
make sure you have radio.img in the current directory where you invoke the script.

I found it easier to drag and drop the files. Saves lots of typing and does the same job.

[Unlock-Guide] Workaround for latest OTA Issue (ERROR [190] ROM IS NOT UPDATED)

I HATE (ERROR [190] ROM IS NOT UPDATED)
After a countless number of try and error searching for a solution to unlock my HTC ChaCha after the latest OTA I found the solution and it was pretty simple and straight forward
All Thanks & Credit to:
adlx.xda (I start looking from his topic [Unlock ] Official Unlock via HTCdev! )
theq86 (Unlocking process from his topic [TUTORIAL][S-ON] Unlock Bootloader using HTCDEV.com)
HTCDev (although they lack of support is the main reason for the problem they have a nice unlocking tutorials )
Follow this steps (Windows Only):
download your PH06XXXXX_Chacha_hboot_1.10.0000.exe from htcdev.com
run PH06XXXXX_Chacha_hboot_1.10.0000.exe
Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE (to open Task Manager)
Select Processes Tab then go to ARUWizerd.exe
Right-Click then Select (Open File Location)
Copy everything into somewhere else lets Say "D:\Unlock"
I'm not sure but the following files is what I used "YOU CAN KEEP ALL"
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
rom.zip - this is the most important file :laugh:
Copy rom.zip to your the SDCard and rename it into PH06img.zip
Disable the fastboot (settings>power>fastboot then uncheck) then power off the phone(you can just unplug the battery but it's NOT recommended)
Keep Pressing down (Volume Down + Power Button) you will see white screen with few color lines just wait
the device will start checking the SDCard and will ask you to press the Volume Key to install the PH06img.zip
If it's said installed successful we good to go other than that then sorry it didn't work for your mobile
reboot again to the fastboot and plug the USB
open the "Command Prompt" or (Start Menu > Run > cmd.exe)
go to the work directory "D:\Unlock"
D:
cd unlock
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
copy the output (text to be copied similar to the highlighted one in red below)

Come on. Really? Another question about unlocking bootloader? Have you read this forum a little or just this thread? Here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816834

Great job
Great job mate! I unlocked my girlfriends HTC Chacha. Running on stock plus rom.
maybe 3 little things for new users:
"reboot again to the fastboot and plug the USB"
has to be: reboot again, delete the file from the sd-card, power down and boot into fastboot and plug the USB.
Copy the recovery.img to the work folder "D:\unlock"
in the cmd write
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Code has to be: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
last step: get root
Download su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
put it on your sd-card and install it with CWM.
But anyways, you did a really great job!
Kind regards,

This worked for me. The only problem I kept running into was the pasting part on the HTC dev page. It kept saying wrong info. When I looked at the info, it was pasting what was on the htc page. So I minimised everything except the htc page, pasted and finished, got the unlock code from HTC. Just a tidbit of info in case someone else has that issue.

It worked for me too. I have ATT status goldcard-flashed to Asia WWE.
I was able to flash cingular hboot and unlock bootloader while on Asia WWE.

thank you so much ....

Sony Arc S, unlocking bootloader, fastboot.exe fails

Hello, I want to root my phone and am trying to unlock my Arc S with Sony's official guide:
Instructions
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
On your computer, click Continue at the bottom of this page to start the unlock boot loader process.
Read through the information in the pop up window and click Yes, I’m sure, if you are still confident you want to unlock the boot loader.
Read through and accept the legal terms. Click I Accept.
Enter your name, email address and the first 14 digits (remove the last digit) of your phone’s IMEI number. Click Submit. You can view the IMEI number by entering *#06# on your phone.
The unlock boot loader key is displayed. Write it down and save it for later use.
Download and install the latest Android SDK from developer.android.com.
Download and unzip this file. This is the standard android_winusb.inf-file, with a few lines of code added to enable Fastboot to support Sony and Sony Ericsson devices. Make sure you are running Google USB Driver package revision 4 or higher in your Android SDK. You can see current Google USB Driver package revision in the SDK Manager.
Place the unzipped file in the usb_driver folder, located in the Android SDK > extras > google folder on your computer. Accept to replace the old android_winusb.inf-file with the new file. If you can't find the usb_driver folder, please install the Google USB Driver Packager using the Android SDK manager.
Turn off your phone.
On your phone, push and hold the unlock button* at the same time as you connect the phone to the computer with a USB-cable. The unlock button may differ between different phone models. See the note in the bottom of this page for more information on what button use on your phone.
On your computer, you will be asked for drivers. Point to the usb_driver folder where you placed the android_winusb.inf-file, and select the Android Boot loader Interface-file.
Open a command window and go to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder.
Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.
Warning! If you perform this step, you will unlock the boot loader. This may void your warranty and/or any warranty from your operator. If you still want to unlock the boot loader of your phone, enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY, where KEY is the unlock boot loader key you got in the beginning of this instruction. The boot loader should now be successfully unlocked.

Click to collapse
I have done everything up till the second last part, where you confirm that the phone is connected properly with fastboot.exe. but when I try to run the getvar version command, it fails with
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
getvar:version FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
I have made sure that my phone is in Fastboot mode, so I don't have any ideas.

http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=VilleC2 look around there for a ruu. Just relock bootloader, "adb reboot bootloader". and boot into bootloader and follow the instructions.

4. Flashing RUU manually
4.1 Getting PG58IMG.zip from RUU
Run the RUU executable as you normally would, but don't proceed to the second step i.e. when a second window appears, do nothing. Do not proceed, just ignore it for now, but don't close the window.
- Right-click the Windows Start button and select "Open Window Explorer" option.
-
- If you use Windows XP
Copy-paste this in the navigation bar:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temp\
- If you use Windows Vista/7
Press & hold Windows key on the keyboard and then press R (Win key + R). Once the box pops up, copy paste this:
Code:
%temp%
- Right click anywhere inside explorer window (not on any folder) and select Sort by then select Date.
- Locate the latest one created (first in the list & it will most likely have random numbers in the name) & open it.
- You will find a second folder with a set of random numbers. Open it, inside you will find a number of files and the rom.zip
- Copy the rom.zip file to another location.
- Now, close the RUU executable folder & rename the rom.zip file as PG58IMG.zip
4.4 How to flash PG58IMG
4.4.1 Without a PC, via bootloader

- If you experience a boot loop, reboot to bootloader and re-flash the PG58IMG.zip
- If booted into bootloader, select fastboot > reboot.
- If booted into fastboot, select reboot.
- Connect the SD Card to a computer and delete the PG58IMG.zip file
If this method fails, try 4.4.2
4.4.2 With a PC, via fastboot USB

When you are on stock look on settings - > Info - > and check for updates.
If there aren't any updates, then your phone hasn't received it yet in your country.
Then you will have to wait for the update...
