can i apply this method for making s off on my htc wildfire s ….?????/
no, not for Wildfire s as its only for HTC CHACHA!
I have a question, did you try this on HTC CHA CHA, couse images is not from chacha, i tried to turn s-off – no result, still on. the manager finds PH06IMG.zip, but do nothing with it.
Is this a guaranteed fix to change S-ON to S-OFF?
I am fairly active on various forums, including XDA and this method won’t guarantee the S-OFF they claim.
Any tips?
you need to try the same!
doesn’t wanna work… i have a HTC CHACHA, s-on, and followed your steps, but after i disabled the fastboot and turned it off… turned it on with the volume button pressed down…. it check the file and said no image, and nothing else happened… what else should be done?
you need to place the image file in the phone!
How did you place the two files in the phone and where? Can you explain this step in detail? thanks.
you need to place both in the sd card!
if you mean by that the files that I downloaded from your link, well, i did that, but nothing!
Okay so I don’t want to mess this thing up so as a precautionary step i want to as you something.
I placed the files in the phone and then when i booted with the volume key down, i see the same page as in your tutorial and there’s a fast scan that takes place and that PH file is scanned. Now I am on that screen only and my S is ON. What to do next?
and when you asked SEIDOS to place the file in your phonec did you mean the phone memory? Cause right now its in my SD card.
its says no image or wrong image
THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE DOWNLOAD SERVER, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF FIXING!
why take all this effort to make a fake guide? The screenshot for the HBOOT is not a ChaCha screen. If this is indeed true. Either show a video or correct screenshot of ChaCha hboot. This is showing Buzz.
we have only shown the same for reference!
Now, you will have to press the Volume Up key and then the flashing process will be started, once its done you will then be asked to reboot he phone manually. How does it works? I press the volume up key but it shows nothing. There is no flashing process??
yes daniel, its mentioned in the article!
I pressed the volume up key but there is no flashing process. Do you mind making a youtube video please?
due to some issues we can’t come up with the video but please follow the instructions, these should help you!
I can’t even select HBOOT. It only lets me choose from FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE and SIMLOCK. Please let me know if I’m doing something wrong. Its my first time rooting. Thanks.
image file doesn’t exist or is wrong, you’re full of shit.
install and extract the same as mentioned int he article!
I am confused:
You talk about s-off, you show a screen capture where we can read \BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON\, you say that \we should see S-OFF\, but you say that the screen capture with \BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON\ corresponds to s-off ?
I have the same screen as the one you captured, am I s-on or s-off ?
Could you clarify a bit please. Thanks.
If u are able to install any zip then s on is off or else u need to s off.
I don’t think this article is of any help. I have not seen a single positive response here.
I kept the two files in the /mnt/sdcard dir. I also tried to place it in / dir and was denied for permission.
On Hboot the loader fails to identify the two zip files. Either this article needs to be more elaborate or it should be deleted from this website.
May be this guy doesn’t understand the whole process itself!
we have noted the same, really apologize for the same! due to some bootloader issues, the devices are unable to get rooted!
This procedure is not working for htc chacha with
Hboot-1.04.0000
microp-0557
radio-7.47.35.17
please help i would like to root my phone
I’ve put both files in SD Card.. When it comes to HBOOT, it gets the file PH06img.zip , but after that it’s saying
Parsing…[PH06IMG.zip]
i think it’s not working..?
is it rooted phone?
oh shit! just parsing the image till the end.. until no battery..
\Once you enter into the HBoot, the phone will scan the PH06IMG.zip which you have placed in the SD Card. Now, you need to enter into the Recovery mode by pressing the power button and the Volume key which will take you to the clock work mod recovery.\
i couldn’t make it to mod recovery… please describe this part again..
you need to first enter the device in the recovery mode!
It doesn’t find the PHO6img.zip file when it goes it to boot?! Help!
am I understanding that you need to copy the PHO6img.zip file to the phone (drag drop file) and then UNZIP it on the phone?
atm I get same hang up at…
No Image found etc
..
Parsing…[PH06IMG.zip]
dont unzip in your phone, you need to use it as a whole!
Oke, let’s try this…

On the internet i see you will need a xtc-clip.
Now i understand why this is not working.
