Hi,
Im kinda new in wildfire stuff and i didnt find a simple answer for my question using search so.
When i use xtc clip to s-off my wildfire, does this allow me directly to install any ROM i want, or should i use any other tricks/tools to do so?
Thanks
I've done a little research on this. And theoretically you should be able to flash the old 0.80 hboot as when s-off is achevied with xtc clip or jtag etc there are no signature checks performed which would then allow you to root the old hboot with unrevoked and flash custom Rom. As for flashing the hboot I'm not aware if the xtc clip can do it directly. But the jtag clip can for sure.

Yes I can confirm this as I have an XTC Clip in my store.
It completely removes all S58 security data to leave the handset fully factory unlocked, super CID & S-Off, all without even rooting or flashing the phone, this clip is awesome and totally rocks my shop.

Dear all;
If I manage to S-ON my device with XTC clip of a friend..will the device stay as S-ON if I will reset to factory settings?
Or after reset I will need to use the XTC Clip again?
You mean S-off
S-off will not reset itself no matter what you do. It is the security flag, down deep in HTC firmware, unless you manage to wipe the HTC bootloader and everything so it is basically a paperweight S-off will remain.
thx imlgl..
i mean S-OFF indeed!

That link points to the old Wildfire (Buzz). Don't confuse people like that...
Hi!!
Once you have made your device S-OFF there is no way to revert back your device to S-ON.
Please, be aware that there is a 100% software method that allow a HTC Sensation to be S-OFF and S-ON as you wish, but this method is not valid for a HTC Wildfire S at the moment, and if you try it you may brick your phone.
If you are worried about thw warranty there is no certain that if you made S-Off to your decive your warranty will be void as some devices are dispatched with S-Off.
Bye!!
Very slim chance of bricking the phone. The XTC clip and the HTC version are very safe.
As what the title stated. I had S-OFFed by using a XTC Clip last time. Now I want to claim back warranty, so I reflashed the ROM to original Froyo via RUU. The only thing now is the S-OFF thingy. I need to S-ON it back so that I can claim warranty. Any ideas how?

Already did that, not working. Refer to page 3/4 for XTC Clip.
Radio s-off by xtc clip is permanent. Flashing hboot will not revert to s-on. No way yet AFAIK.

I see. Thanks. Does updates for the XTC clip can make my device back to S-ON? Since you said no way YET.
Ask the XTC Devs themselves. I don't think there's anyway as already stated.
Do you already have found how to get back to the S-ON ?
Hello,
I have a Wildfire S a510e unlocked with HTC Unlocked (code).
Put m1ndh4x8r rom on it and is working great.
Now ive read some time ago that S-OFF was only possible with a XTC-Clip
But since the bootloader is unlocked, does that mean that S-OFF is possible in other ways?
Or do i still need a XTC Clip to do so?
I want S-OFF to change my boot screen
I did search some topics but cant find the exact answer (yes/no).
Thanks.
You still need XTC Clip to get S-OFF
Have you tried this tutorial? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308169 don't think you need s-off

Looks to me like it requires S-OFF. The people who couldn't get it to work all had S-ON.
I have root (Hboot 0.8) on my Wildfire but unfortunately it is the A3335 variant which according to some here is difficult to S-OFF without using XTC Clip.
I started off with Revolutionary but hit a wall with Hboot it needs. So got a Goldcard but then worried about possibility of screwing up my radio (Telstra Next G) changing to HBoot 1.01 - advised don't try it on A3335 (due to some NAND error with Revolutionary??)
If there is already a thread or guide on this I missed I do apologise but the threads I saw are quite old and just say it is either impossible without XTC clip, or difficult without- or advise don't try it on A3335 (due to some NAND error)- others suggest HTCdev are nearly there with a way to S-OFF.
Could someone please update me with the latest- my old Wildfire is sitting around and I'd like to experiment with a few different kernels which require S-OFF.
I don't care about warranty or rolling back, so anything goes- but if the Radio is screwed it wont be much use as a phone!
Hello everyone, i just got an old HTC Wildfire from my aunt and decided to root it and make it a useful secondary phone... the problem i ran into is the fact that it has HBOOT 0.80.0002.
I cant seem to figure out how to root it. I tried the full guide to rooting and de-branding but i got stuck first i tried to just use revolutionary, but that only supports hboot 1.01.0001 or something like that and then i tried to downgrade it (what u are supposed to do for 1.2.0002 hboot) but that didnt work either since i got stuck trying to create a goldcard image. Well i actually got the goldcard (found a functioning website online put in my CID and got the gold card, but the prtoblem was that i couldnt patch the mmc)
So anyone got any help for me? or a tip what tutorial i could try.
Phone info:
HTC Buzz (wildfire)
Hboot 0.80.0002
Radio 3.35.19.25
S-on
Firmware 2.1-update 1
Thanks for the help

If you run the unrevoked program it will root your phone with your current hboot. You could also consider working out your phones cid, (not the one from your goldcard) And then you could look for the correct update ruu. Upgrade to hboot 1.01.0001 and then use revolutionary and gain full s-off

Ok, unrewoked worked the second time around tried it before i posted here, but it stopped at pushing recovery image... i guess it must have been HTC sync (yeah forgot i had that instaled on this pc) when i uninstalled it as the software told me to it worked just fine. Rooted with CWM thanks for the help
Ok guys, is this even possible? I used Unrevoked and it worked nicely and got my phone rooted (super user) and CWM installed... but i still have S-ON... am i missing something here? should i flash something to get S-OFF or what? really confused right now...
Thanks.

Unrevoked never removed s-on, it used a root exploit to gain superuser access, install superuser and then flash a custom recovery. Revolutionary, which is a conjunction of team unrevoked and alpharev was the next step, after the upgrade to hboot 1.xx.xxxx unrevoked exploit no longer worked, so they found another I believe and forced a hacked bootloader into the phone, making it believe it was s-off even though the radio flag was still set to on confusing I know
so revolutionary s-off is from a patched hboot, and the xtc clip gives full radio s-off. The only real difference is that with xtc clip s-off you can remove SIM lock, but with the patched hboot you cannot, as the radio which houses the security (for all intents and purposes) is still set to on. The patched hboot just tells the hboot to ignore what the radio says and believe it is s-off all the time.
But before I ramble on you should be good to go with your hboot, but you may need to upgrade your recovery, in order to do this I believe you will need root and to flash the recovery by using a script called flash. I'll look Into it for you or, you could try the clockworkmod recovery app to flash the new recovery, you want 5.0.2.0 preferably
