Ah, thanks, I guess we would need an engineer HBOOT for that then, I believe seeing someone with an engineering hboot around.

The inability to use fastboot does not mean we can't flash recoveries. We could still flash_image from the device, but I don't know if that'll work with just ship s-off..
Another (rather painful, but working) method is a fake recovery, which I really would dislike to see, but might be a last resort.

Yeah I come from Defy where we only have a bootstrap recovery and it kinda suck (at least for deving, it's almost the same for end users).

Anyway what we need is root, either for bootstrap or using flash_image (or dd) to flash the recovery. Who could help uswith the root thing?

Updated a flashable package.
Please let me inform you on my stance. I've used the phone in a local store today, and must say it SUCKS! The keyboard buttons are hard to press as sh*t! Could just be because it was a dummy model though.

My interest in developing roms for this device is huge though, and would love to be the one to port cyanogenmod onto it. So unless someone feels like borrowing the phone for a while, to help out other chacha users, you won't see it made by me :(

First off, I agree that this device is less than ideal in many ways, but I'm obliged to use it for some time.

Second to that, when I try to flash this I get a CID incorrect error. I'm using an AT&T Status with Baseband 47.17.35.3033H_7.48.35.14_2, Build Number 1.23.502.1 CL84153.

Is it s-off? Might be my mistake in the update script. Really are unfamiliar with that and have just tried something, but since the japanese guy confirmed it works, I wonder what's different for him.

Wow that really looks promising!

A dumb question, how do you trigger a boot to recovery?
What is the key combination? I couldn't find.

Boot with volume down and select recovery. I don't know how to get into recovery mode directly though..

Ok, I don't know why my Status is retarded, but even the new zip doesn't work. Is there any way to check my CID, and possibly add it manually? Just a side note, I got my Status directly from HTC at an event. It still ATT branded.

I believe I've read somewhere that you can find it in settings.

Couldn't find it in settings, but found an app called CID Getter which reports mine as CWS__001. Couldn't edit the info file on my device myself unfortunately.

Through black magic and the use of an actual PC now that I'm home from work, I was able to install it just fine, looking forward to custom ROMS :)

Guys, I know that I earned some respect among some of you, and am hoping you could do me a favor. Could anyone who is rooted install the talk 1.3 installer from the market and report whether video and/or voice calls work? I'd be happy to be the contact you're calling through gtalk 1.3, if you don't have someone else to try it with.

You would REALLY help me by doing this!

Edit: got enough results from the poll, apps2sd and funky window animations will be added. Boot and camera sounds will be removed. Facebook will be removed, with an optional update.zip to add it back. Rosie/Sense Launcher will be left, with which optional packages to remove rosie and add either adw or launcherpro.

Thanks for your recovery : perfect !

PS : your french keyboard package doesn't run : error status 6 during the update

That's odd. I have had an report that the german package works, and they both contain the same script and signature. Could you try flashing the german package?

Edit:
Hurray, got stickied! :D

    Clockworkmod Recovery for the HTC Chacha.

    Please note I don't have the device and therefore can't give any support. I'm sorry.

    You will find adlx.xda's cwm HERE [source]
    My older, own CWM 4 port can be found HERE or from the attachments

    02-05-12: Updated thread and dropped S-OFF tag.
    15-04-12: adlx.xda has updated his 5.0.2.8.
    05-02-12: adlx.xda has built a 5.0.2.8 CWM Recovery.
    23-01-12: adlx.xda has built a 5.0.2.7 CWM Recovery.
    24-07-11: Updated with huge CID list for ALL s-off users.
    25-07-11: Updated with CWS__001.
    14-10-11: Added original recovery update.zip
    15-10-11: Fixed Error 6 bug for stock recovery

    Code: 
    Put PH06img.zip on your sdcard, reboot into bootloader mode and flash CWM.

    Quick tut to boot into bootloader mode:
    Code: 
    Go to settings -> Power -> untick Fastboot
Turn off the phone
Hold VOL Down + Power for 5 seconds

    If you are already rooted and want to flash the CWM recovery on your Chacha, you can also:

    - Use Alex.C's 1 click recovery flasher,
    - Use Goo Manager
    Both applications are available for free on the Market.


    -----

    Update: Here is the stock recovery.
    You can flash this in order to help you update to version 1.52, which can be found HERE

    Code: 
    A quick how-to on upgrading version 1.33 to 1.52
Step 1: Install Stock Recovery
Step 2: Rename the OTA_blabla.zip into PH06IMG.zip and put it on your SDCard
Step 3: Flash the image by rebooting into bootloader
Step 4: Put CWM's PH06IMG.zip on your SDCard again
Step 5: Flash CWM by rebooting into bootloader.

    I've fixed the issue with charging the phone when powered off.

    Here is the latest CWM I have built for Chacha:

    http://goo-inside.me/devs/adlx/chacha/cwm/recovery-5028-2-chacha.img

    If you run SuperOSR or CM7.2 or any rom having flash_image, the easiest way to flash it is via my app 1-click Recovery Flasher, available on the Market (look for "adlx" and you'll find it).
