[Guide][S-ON][Updated][22-Nov-14]How to Root S-ON HTC ChaCha after HTCDev Unlock

hmaxos · Jul 24, 2013

Hi.. thanks for the organized steps. I'm stuck at the beginning of step 2 "Extract PH06IMG.zip in the folder you used for HTCDev Unlock.". I tried several ways and software to unlock and root my chacha and forgot which one was the folder. Is there any alternative or play around this step? I even my original SDK manager but always my device not recognized.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Open device manager > find the your device and right click > update drivers > locate drivers folder and there you go.
Sorry for late reply

Turn on USB debugging in development settings of your device. And recheck that the drivers are installed properly.
If you can't see ADB Interface driver in device manager then the drivers are not installed.

I tried what did you say, but it still don't recognize my phone...I reinstalled the adb driver, i checked the USB debugging, but nothing...

-> Remove adb drivers from device manager completely.
-> Download the zip file attached below
-> Extract it somewhere on your PC
-> Restart your PC.
-> Plug in your device
-> Now in the drivers installation phase select I'll choose drivers my self or something like this.
-> Click have disk button
-> Now select the file android_winusb.inf from the folder you extracted above.
-> After installation, type this command "adb remount" while your device plugged in.
If this doesn't work either please post the error you are getting. Or screenshots would be better.
Hope this helps.

So I unlocked the bootloader, flashed cwm recovery, used doomlord kit to root while I was on 2.3.3. Everything worked fine.

Check for any software update, HTC had 2.3.5. Ok so I flashed stock recovery back on, applied the update successfully.

Lost root, doomlord fails.. I reflash cwm, flash su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip, but superuser works wonky, can't check or update su binary.

Tried deleting and installing SuperSU, but that's not able to update SU with either options..

I have the same experience here except ChaCha already was on 2.3.5
This method didn't install SuperSu so I installed it myself but it's not doing its job.

when I open SuperSu it says that I need update SU binary, I follow eaither options but I have no luck.

p.s: I have Root Access according to CPU-Z.

Help me! this is my friend's phone.

[SOLVED:]

simply went to this thread and downloaded the latest "installable ZIP" from this link: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
flashed it by CWM recovery that came with this root method, and done.

adb devices problem

I comment this because I remember some posts about problems with the "adb devices" command from Step 4.

Whenever I typed it I got the response "List of devices attached", but no list on sight.
However, "fastoboot devices" gave back the code of my device, so I continued with the tutorial until the end and it worked fine.
