Digging up an year old thread isn't that useful. The user might have unlocked the device or Ditched it by this time...

There is no free solution yet, you need to pay for an unlock code

Sorry but this isn't correct. You can't unlock it by flashing a Ruu. I you need to buy unlock code or use a xtc clip at present.

I had my Wildfire unlocked using revolutionary method... Previously I was locked to Orange UK.. I just flashed the RUU (Asia India) from shipped roms first; then I used the revolutionary tool - AlphaRevX.... Only issue I had was no mobile network.. I flashed the latest radio img for wildfire using fastboot... I never bought or used an unlock code from anyone...

Are you sure it was locked in the first place?
The cid is hidden away in a partition we can't get to, I don't think revolutionary changes the cid because if it did the alpharev team would know about it and it would have been mentioned before, an ruu flashes original software which is also most probably locked as the carriers would complain to google for making such a simple way to unlock there phones.

hi I hav unlocked my bootloader using htcdev method but now how can I achieve s - off?
what if I use xtc clip now? can I get an s - off??
Sent from my Wildfire S using XDA
If you're gsm [have a sim] yep; however, its much less reversable at this point in time and you probably can accomplish just about anything you need with the bootloader unlocked... So weigh your options

well the reason is that for using that desire c rom (after port) heard we may need s off ... that's y anyway I'm gonna wait n decide. so there isn't any provision for changing hboot getting back warranty yet for s off users??

Nope unfortunately not.
don't think so. It is the easiest way and also the official way.
But it can void your warranty (not if you are a developper apparently xD)

No.
But you can install a custom ROM or root the phone without unlocking the bootloader if you can turn off the security check placed on the NAND storage (i.e S-ON). So far devs have not been able to turn off security (i.e S-OFF) on One X, but it will happen eventually. Till then you’ll have to unlock and potentially void your warranty to root or install a custom ROM.
I've rooted all my previous phones but this time I'm waiting for soff.
Am I right in thinking that when soff is released you can unlock your bootloader without htc dev?

With S-Off you don't need to unlock the bootloader to root or install custom ROMs. That is one of the advantages, no bootloader unlock = no warranty issues. I waited for over a month monitoring S-Off development, but it wasn't really going anywhere. Tired of waiting, I just went ahead and unlocked the bootloader.
It took over a year for some HTC devices (i.e Desire) to gain S-Off, so you never know how long it'll take. But hopefully it'll happen soon...

Wrong. He can buy an unlock Code. It Is easy And not expensive at all. Even he can ask To his carrier for it.
Well, that's true. But as he is asking here, we can assume he does not want that option (eventhough it´s the best option)
Wasn't there a Windows program, called Ace Multi Tools? (something along those lines) that did SIM Unlocks and Super CIDs, along with S-OFF (but with a downgrade)

Do you mean the Advanced Ace Hack Kit? If so, it has been retired.
I've been having trouble all day trying to root my new MetroPCS HTC Wildfire S! I got to the last step where I need to send the Unlock Token.bin file to my device but Command Prompt gives me the error: ”unable to connect to device” (or something close to that). Then I tried again with the device all the way on (at the launcher screen) and command prompt just says ”waiting for device” indefnitly. I can't find
Another topic with this exact problem. Please help! Or, if you have a method for me to root without unlocking the bootloader would be great! Thank you in advance!
Also, I tried Unlock root, HTC Root, and Superoneclick 2.3.3, I also tried GingerBreak, NONE of them work!

has anyone tried to superCID for this device. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536
If so were you able to try rom from other htc one forums on your device??
Is this possible ?

I think we are cid unlocked or at least mine was. All I did was go into bootloader and issue the following command (need s-off ofc)
Fastboot oem writecid (cid you want to input).

Why would anyone want to chance CID? Just wondering. Wont you still need VZW to remove the IMIE lock before you can switch carriers.

I guess it will be useful for me because I am from India and I have a carrier unlocked Verizon HTC One M7. This method would allow me to flash Custom ROMs from other threads too.:fingers-crossed:

International, US GSM, and Sprint ones have different mount points than the Verizon one. You flash firmware from another variant can brick your device. I highly suggest against it. This is why we have a different recovery than the other HTC ones out there in the wild.

To use htcdev to unlock the bootloader as cid is blocked. Other than that, no reason at all.

I just recently did super CID on my phone to try out other ROMs on my phone. I am switching to T-Mobile, and was trying to get LTE to work. But obviously I didn't flash firmware from another variant.

Yeah, that's right. Last vzw HTC that could supercid while s-on was the DNA. HTC fixed it somewhere down the road.
