[Q] Unlocking HTC Wildfire S (Sim Free) HELP - HTC Wildfire S

Hi, I have been looking for this thread but I haven't found it, can anyone help me? how can I unlock HTC Wildfire S? (in a free way of course)
thanks

You haven't seen the many, many threads of people asking the same question?
The answer is always the same:
You need to either buy a XTC Clip or go to a phone unlocking shop that uses XTC Clips.

Hi there.
I have been looking for the exact same answer. I bought my HTC in the Netherlands and need to put in a sim card from Germany. I even bought an unlocking code from the official HTC website but they were useless, the code didn't work and they didn't respond to any of my emails. There are so many reviews with people thanking the company for unlocking the phone and their great service. I didn't experience either of these services and don't understand what I am doing wrong. I am no a techno genius and everyone is quick to say it works but no one explains to people like me the simple steps.
I have heard about the clip and will give it a try. Hopefully this will work. I will report back on the results.

ATTENTION NEWBIES!! READ THIS POST COMPLETELY
Seems like you are new to Vbulliten forums.....if you are not,let me remind you
There are some topics in the threads called stickies......they are the first topics you see and always remain the first ones....In the Wildfire S General section there is a topic named Frequently Asked Questions.....first check that out first and then post.....
It is for the better because it will save you from being getting shouted/abused at....
And to be strictly clear....
1.S-OFF/UNLOCKING- CAN BE DONE ONLY WITH XTC-CLIP(CAN BE BOUGHT ONLINE)
2.UNLOCK WITHOUT AN XTC-CLIP IS CURRENTLY IN THE WORKS.....MANY OF THE DEVS ARE WORKING ON IT
3.READ THE F.A.Q. BEFORE POSTING
4.MANY PEOPLE ARE HERE FOR A LONG TIME AND HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS THREADS LIKE THIS.....SO PLEASE......TAKE SOMETIME FROM YOUR BUSY LIVES AND LOOK AROUND BEFORE POSTING TO AVOID ANY HARSH LANGUAGE ON YOU

The XTC clip sim unlocks as well? I might be getting one soon, so I'm just wondering.

The XTC-CLIP unlocks EVERYTHING.....that includes radio,bootloader & simlock

clip is NOT the ONLY way to unlock a wildfire s.. i've just unlocked one with a riffbox.. granted that not everybody has this box but stating that a particular method is the only way leads to confusion.. i'm also pretty sure that the guys on this forum will eventually pull a free unlock app out of the bag at some point as there are some pretty hardcore tinkerers on here..
minirant over !!

There are one of many ways to do this;
1. The MOST IMPORTANT- is search the forum before posting this for the umpteenth time, which will lead you to the following -
2. Send a pm to tupisdin, and agree a fee either to him or to this forum then he will give you a code
3. Go to imei-check.co.uk - pay 30 Euros to get it unlocked
4. Work on developing one yourself !
but i like unlock my htc free.... is possible???
dont you think everybody likes to unlock it for free?
on the other side, dont you think if you are one of the few people who knows how to do it you might think about charging a few dollars for doing it?
and believe me, it there'd be a free way, there would be a sticky.

Introducing myself to the forum

Welcome aboard,
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
Don't remember there being a specific place for this here @ XDA.
But very social of you for doing so anyway, welcome.
And don't brick your device and be sure to sim unlock first if your locked to Orange with a Desire.

Hope I'm not in the wrong area here but just wanted to say Hi and Thanks
I've had a HTC Elfin for about 2yrs and now have a Samsung Spica.
Any problems or mods i've had or done to my phone i've always found the answer here, so
THANK YOU.
Welcome! Enjoy your stay.
Wow you even made the big man come down here and say his welcomes

Attention any needy dev....

I have a scratched up Wildfire S that I am willing to donate for someone to figure out how to get s-off without a clip. PM if your intereseted. I'll even ship.
You MUST show proof that you are compitent to try this and not just wanting the phone. US shipping only. Anyone else out there that wants it if a dev isn't interested I'll trade it for a Best Buy gift card valued at $50 and its yours.
I am not trying to sell this (thats what the Marketplace is for...) but I don't want someone triksy just trying to grab a free phone. If you know someone who is working on this, PM and I'll see if they want it.
PM though, would really like to donate this to the "Cause."
L8r,
You are best off contacting Alpharevx team and asking them if they would be willing to work on it. They are the only team dedicated to unlocking the new phones with S-on security.
but unlock it via xtc clip in a shop is not a very big problem...
i´ve unlocked the WFS of my wife with 10€... in a mobile shop..
maybe i´m mistaken but alpharevx reussed to do it...
Alpharev couldn't unlock it. So they stopped trying.

If you unlock it yourself with XTC clip and then maybe donate it to an established developer on this forum so they can join in the development of CM7, MIUI etc.
He want's to donate it locked so that someone could work on cracking the S-on issue. If this issue is sorted then the floodgates are open to everybody, not just one guy that can work on ROMS for a small amount of people.

They barely even tried. If they really want to unlock it then they would.
Maybe HTC put a special lock on the wildfire s that hackers couldn't unlock it. Or wildfire s is a special cases phone that even devs couldn't see it like it never existed.
EDIT: there fumble is that they don't have this phone that's why they do not care about it. Also ROM Manager wildfire s in not in the list.
Very sad indeed!

Old hardware and other stuff, that's why Alpharev couldn't unlock it.
This made me feel a lil better about our device http:// forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18343570&postcount=12
I think the people at HTC know how great this phone is and could be, and don't want it to over shadow their new devices coming out. I don't see the upgrade coming any time this year being so close to the major shopping holidays.
1 more thing, wouldn't it be special if the upgrade came with root access, I mean why just unlock boot loader. They say the reason their not locking boot loaders anymore is for development purposes.
that's their standard answer. already seen it elsewhere. don't expect too much.
Just pmed the op I think I'm might have found something just hope the op still has the phone and accepts to post it to northern Ireland if anyone else is willing to donate a wfs please sent me a pm I will return your handset once I'm finished.

Made me feel a little better too. But, i don't think they will unlock the bootloader. If they really wanted to, they would've done it AGES ago. Get my point?

[Q] Interested In Getting S-OFF and Keeping This Phone Alive?

Ok. So I am sitting here and thinking. )I know...dangerous right?(
What's the holdup on this phone?: S-OFF and SIM unlock.
What do I own?: An XTC-Clip
What can I do to help get us back into the main forum and keep this phone alive?:
Well. I was thinking about and I thought. This clip is sitting here. I can't really develop but I can test AND I can unlock phones.
What am I proposing?:
To XTC-Clip any GSM Wildfire S that is sent to me for the cost of shipping and handling and the agreement that if you end up with a brick it's not my responsibility.
I'm willing to donate my time to unlock these things, get them to and from the post office and fill out the paperwork to ship them this if it will expand the user base and get us back in business on the main forum until a software S-OFF is found.
Really, when you think about it, the XTC-Clip is and was a development designed to help get the Wildfire S up and running. Obsessing over S-OFF alone while our dev support withers, while we have a current S-OFF solution is a little silly.
Let's just start by doing a poll and seeing who out there would even be interested so I can gauge if I'm on a fool's errand or not.
Please vote for Wildfire S's only. My current interest is in helping keep this forum and Wildfire S development alive.
I want us OUT of this legacy BS.
Here's to keeping the Wildfire S alive!
Actually I really really want CM9 with an official Clockwork recovery. That would make me very happy indeed. Off to test ROMs
This is what I want to say too!

I posted in this thread and it's in my signature now as well. Great idea Henry. Thanks.
My link really works.
I've searched for Belgium, almost the smallest country in Europe, and I've found three people with xtc clip for s-off!
So say thinks if you find my link useful!

Hi Henry, Portugal is much bigger but it seems to be hard to find one single person with a XTC-Clip here. At least in a 100KM radius from where I live, there doesn't seem to be a single clip available.
The only one I found with the help of your link is in Lisbon, 300KM from where I live.
However this isn't the only question. We still can get temp root, so we can install most roms. The problem is that we can't change recovery so backups are out of question. Temp root sucks because it is just a workaround, not a solution.
I would be happy to pay 10-15€ to S-OFF my phone. I just don't want to send my phone to another country, now that it's Christmas time and the postal services work like snails. I need my phone every day and if I decide to S-OFF my phone it must be done "on the hour". I will be glad to pay for it.
Of course that I won't buy a clip just for me because it's still too expensive (with shipping/insurance, etc) for a single S-OFF. If people come to me to S-OFF their devices I don't have the time for giving a decent/quick reply.
If I would have the time I would order a clip and gather the most people possible and would S-OFF their WFS for free, without any problem.
I just want us to rise from the graveyard, called Legacy and Low Activity Devices.
The Wildfire S ROCKS but it needs support. Let's fight for our right!
---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------
Thanks to d33ps1x and Henry_1 for the hard work on this thread.
I would appreciate to hear from anyone near Aveiro or Porto in Portugal, that has a XTC Clip.
Please, if anyone that reads this lives in the above areas and can help me get S-OFF, please PM.
If the price is fair I can drive some KM to get my phone S-OFF'ed on the hour.
Would be glad to spread the good news if needed.
I bought mine with the intention of helping others out. That thread of XTC clip owners was where I first communicated with a user who would do it for me.
I figured the drive there...the gas money, etc, I might as well buy it and have it around.

3 little things to keep the Wildfire S alive and current...

We need three little things to keep the development and forum for the Wildfire S alive:
1/ Stop obsessing over HTC's unlocked bootloader. We need FULL S-OFF and SIM card unlocking. HTC doesn't care. Repeat after me...HTC Doesn't care.
2/ Shake out your pockets if you can and get your devices XTC-Clipped. For the cost of it vs the effort put into trying to get around it. We need a bunch of S-OFF'd phones and developers to not be relegated to the boneyard. If software S-OFF is possible that will be awesome but in the mean while check the thread about local clippers to hopefully find someone close to you where you can go and get it done.
3/Focus on what we CAN change soonest. Getting back on the main forums. This is the most likely thing to happen with the least effort to keep us current and visible to other WFS users and developers looking for a home.
So get through wasting time on item 1, spend some money on item 2 or chip into the dev process and let's all work on petitioning for item 3.
So check out the threads in my signature and find your local XTC Clip owner and let's get this forum moving.
Thanks to all those still making development efforts and efforts to raise awareness of this great little phone that could.
Cheers.

FYI,the only reason I can't buy an xtc-clip is that I can't afford it, and no shopkeeper even knows what an xtc-clip is!!!It costs around 7000 rupees in India(that a heck lot costly for a 16 year old with a monthly allowance of 500 rupees). I am trying to get it from some guys at XDA but noone is replying to PM'S......Not everyone is lucky in finding or getting an S-OFF.......

Understandable.
Doesn't change the fact that focusing on our own solution will likely pay more dividends then waiting for an unmotivated HTC to do something.
Software S-OFF is in the list. Beg, borrowing, or stealing an XTC clip is in the list.
Group buying of one is in there too.
Essentially anything to get S-OFF users and Dev's to fan the fire under the Wildfire S
Regards,
DS
Agree with csoulr666 on this one. The XTC clip isn't a viable option for many of us. It's way too heavily priced for many of us (about 20% of the cost of the phone itself) and plus, it's not easily available in many countries like India. In fact, people don't know what an XTC clip is!
I'd like to believe in Group buys and campaigns but they don't always work as intended, do they?

So it won't work for everyone but there are plenty of people who it will. It's about raising awareness that that thread and the option to go to someone local like myself exists.
My offer to clip phones for anyone on this forum still stands. I want to see things move forward for us.
Maybe first thing is to get us back on the main forum page now that we have CM7.2 with 9.0 on it's way.
People should research before purchasing the phone then. Gotta understand the risks and what is available before purchasing.
awareness
In all honesty alquez has pretty much put the WFS on the map; no disrespect to any other developers. Having:
a viable [yet unofficial] build of cwm
a viable [yet unofficial] build of cm7
This will, if it has not already, get the attention of some heavyweight devs.
Perhaps they will review and brand it official; perhaps we go on making unofficial stuff until someone notices. I just have to give him a huge thumbs up though when it comes to recognition of our phone model.
Rob
Yeah Alquez is king of wildfire s definetely He is doing so much for wilfire s community...
