Sry, I'm not pretty sure what you really want, is it about space or speed or what?
But anyways what you want to do (data2sd, overclocking,...) you first need s-off by xtc-clip, after that you can root, change roms,... Look at the general section, there is a index sticky where all guides, roms,... are linked.

An iPhone would have the abilities you want too, but anyway Android rocks cause of the ability to mod the hell out of it, but also cause of this it's more an geek OS than ios.
An xtc-clip is a peace of hardware to unlock your bootloader, create a goldcard and remove simlock. You can get it at e-bay or you can go to a second hand seller that also does repairs (not all of them got one) to get it unlocked by them (I had to pay 20 euro for it).
I would recommend the unofficial cyanogen port, but it's a matter taste, cyanogen isn't that eyecandy and it's still beta yet, if you like sense, jikantaru xe would be the best choice I think.

For every custom rom you need an unlocked bootloader first. I have none, I unlocked mine at a second hand handy shop for 20 euro.

hi,guys,I got my inc2 S-OFF、Root、Recovery with chinese and network unlock！
The method to get s-off on the inc2 is not the same as incs, the S58 file is not the same. I haven't the s58 file for incs2,but today ,i found a person to get the inc2 s-off,but not to use xtc clip,now my incs2 is s-off and unlock.and can use gsm、WCDMA、CDMA SIM、USIM and UIM card，in china ，CDMA Network must use UIM Card，but he didn't tell me the method,I pay for it about 50 RMB,you can see this web，there are photos of my inc2:
the outsidelinks "ACD168 " had told us
I am a new user are not permitted to post outside links in their messages，
who can tell me how to post outsidelinks and upload photos??
Best way is to make some posts in other threads

He paid someone to unlock the phone. Most likely used a sim unlock clip. Nothing to see here.
it is the first known inc2 S-OFF though.

XTC doesn't support the Incredible 2 yet (it supports Incredible S). So the fact that it has been unlocked is at least a step in the right direction. XTC Pay-As-You-Go might be worth the money at this point.
I'd gladly pay something to have my inc2 S-off!
Please keep the discussion development-oriented so that this topic isn't locked. Please take any meta-discussions to the General area.
Thanks!
If we can get S-Off on our Inc2's, would the temporary root as stated before, be used to gain full time root access?

So, this might be a stupid question, but in regards to s-off, I know that up until recently on my INC (ADR6300), I did NOT have s-off on my INC, (until when I needed to flash my radio firmware so my video camera would work) and I was able to load whatever rom I wanted. Granted, I did use unrevoked initially to get perm root, so I am assuming that is the reason that we are stuck on the INC2's? (ADR6350)
Obviously, the end goal is to get S-off, but before that we would be OK (more or less) if we could just write to /system, right?

It isn't promising because he took it to somebody else who looks to have used a hardware clip to unlock it, whereas we're looking for software solutions.
in that sense, then yes... looks like it. but i was pretty ready to get a clip to get it working. the way i see it, as long as we are not too far behind IS's root development, then it's good news
It reminds me of the dss days. People would pay alot of money for "Special hardware and software" to unlock. Then a few months later a cheap software update would come up for free to everyone. Lets just hope this is how it goes with the new lock downs companies are implementing with their new phones.
plzzzz pro guys we need cracked the S-ON on the Wildfire S via software >>> im verry tired serching for but no one answer and no body care plz plz plz we need a solution for this !!!
there is no software to crack s-on. you need an xtc clip, or find a shop with one to make it s-off.
is s-off or s-on in bootloader? can we copy it from s-offed phones?
Hardware only for now. Unless you can convince the alpharevx team to try and crack it.

Sometimes I'm really wondering if these topic starters actually take the time to search/read through the existing threads in these forums..
I only recently registered but have been lurking on these forums ever since i got a winmo quite a few years ago. Ever since i've been amazed by the ignorance of some of the people that show up in these parts of the interwebs..
My 2 cents.
On Topic: Yeah, unfortunately it's XTC-Clip only at the moment. But imho you could have figured that out if you would have done even a tiny bit of research before you blindly bought your WFS
I totally agree, I check in everyday only to be greeted by the same old questions in a brand new thread
There is a search facility on this site, I wish more people would use it.

I second you
Looks like the XTC-clip is coming down in price and with unlimited unlocks, doesn't that mean that just one of us needs to get it and then use it to unlock everyone else's phone?
At $10/person we pay for the $100 clip in 10 phones. I'll do it if people don't mind sending me their phones for a few days to unlock them.
Am I crazy, or can't I just order one for $55?

I think people are already doing this via eBay - check the 'XTC Clip Group-Buy' thread. Europe only though, not sure.
Check here, it's not so expensive.

Hi,
Anyone in the West Midlands area (UK) with a clip? Willing to pay and travel - phone is doing my nuts in - can't install anything cos of low memory and I have 15M left.
Gonna bin the thing if I can't put some lighter firmware on it!
Try an unlocking shop, one of them is bound to have an xtc clip.

I am thinking of getting an Xperia Play 4G off Craigslist for ~$100 to use as a gaming device. Do you think this is worth it? Or should I just stick with my DS?
Also, what are the steps for installing a custom rom on the AT&T model? Is there a bootloader to unlock? Would I have to flash special stuff (lol)? I know how to flash everything and all this, just don't really have the time to search the whole forum and pick out the details and instructions and stuff.

You would have to pay to unlock the bootloader. The cost is $24- $26 can't really remember. That's the only thing about the at&t model. I think it is very worth it at $100, especially when comparing to a DS lol. No offense. You might still play your ds though as there isn't any ds emulator out. So yea, I think it worth it for gaming becuase no other phone has a gamepad lol. Goodluck man
Thanks man!

Please don't ask how, why, when or whatever else!
This is only a general question to all of you
I'm thinking since two weeks to ask the community if there is an interest to get S-OFF on the HTC One X device.
BUT!!!!!!!
We need to buy some hardware for this - and that's the main problem.
We have found an option to S-OFF devices but to cover the cost's we need to charge 20 Euro for each device (include shipping)
Currently there is no other way to make it possible and it seems HTC will not release something for doing this.
We have done a test on a HTC 8 and HTC One X device and it's working. From this point of view I guess we can cover almost every HTC device. But this is a different story. Even my own device is still S-ON.
The Plan:
We will create a page where you can order the S-OFF option for almost EVERY HTC device. You can pay via PayPal or add the money within your shipping package.
We was trying to make a remote solution but this is not working at the moment but I hope we can release this within the future. At the moment we have no chance for some tests. Why? Because of the missing hardware
The next problem is that you need to ship the device to GERMANY. We will make it S-OFF and SuperCID it which will not revert when you flash it and ship it back on the same day.
Bevore we do the invest and starting with all the things which are required, I want to ask all of you if you are interested about this.
At the moment we are all not happy about this solution and I'm not a friend of this way. But it is a way and we hope HTC will think about S-OFF within the future.
My question to all of you:
ARE YOU INTERESTED ABOUT THIS SOLUTION?
What do you think about this?
DON'T ANSWER VIA PM! NO PM's!
First, on which base we can believe you?
You didn't provide any evident that you or your team are able to S-OFF any HTC device. Moreover, you even mentioned that your own device is still S-ON.
My answer:
No, I am not interested in s-off when it costs me 20 euro and having to ship it to an anonymous person who said so on internet.
My max amount for a real s-offing is 5 euro and giving that s-off-ing is instantly.

Sure, don't care about the fact possible or not.
It's just a question if we can cross charge the cost. This is what I want to see, 5 Euro is an example. But with this price we would need round about 800 (!) devices.
Damn!!

I know... But it makes no sence to me to buy equipment for 4000 Euro to unlock my device and trash everything after I have S-OFF.
On the second hand it makes no sence to me to unlock my device because no one is able to support unlocked devices. (F***K)

Given that we cannot prove if it's true or not, and required shipping my device to an anonymous person in another nation, there's NO WAY I can risk it and 20 euro.

My Answer to you: :good::good::good:YEEEESSS:good::good::good:
I have no Problem with the 20€, because there are many Tools/Mods which need S-Off and this is worth it to me.
And when a trusted Member of XDA is the Person, who will recive the Phone, I will also have no Problem with that.
Sorry for my bad English

He is currently not able to s-off anything. I think he wanted to collect the money ,so he can buy some sort of JTAG/Flashbox. Although I don't know what costs 4000 euro!
Anyway this misleading thread. I'd recommend the OP to ask any mod so they close it.
Like Xmoo said, this method is known for a long time. But without a remote solution it is no option for me. I'm not going to send my phone to Germany. Main reason: I simply need my phone. The money is not the problem, I would pay 20 euro in a heart beat for S-Off.

Don't care at the moment if it's working. This is not the question if it is working. Be sure, wenn we have it, we will release this here at XDA.
We also was thinking about this "S-OFF Drive-In" solution and be sure even this will be possible.
Come, S-OFF, enjoy & Go!
We don't have a problem to do it within this way.
Right now I want to know if someone else would pay for this. Not to become rich, just to cover the invest!

The solution!!!!
We also could open a project like "bread for the world" and try to collect the money. Maybe within 5 years we got it
We are dealing since weeks on this. But if you start the project "S-OFF for the world" I also would spend 10 or 20 Euro's for this. But this will be not a solution when I will be the only one idiot who will spend for this project.
Give me a other solution and we will do it.

I would:

b) never send my phone to a complete stranger even in my own country

Ok sorry that my other post wasnt correctly done, so I will fix it here..
I have some questions about the M8...
How hard is the unlocking process and rooting the phone?
I know you cant compare Roms, can I ask if there is a good selection of them available for this phone?
Also I want to play netflix from my phone to my tv, movies and such. Does this phone work with ChromeCast? Or what ways can I connect it to my Samsung HDTV or Samsung Smart Bluray player?
Also is there any good cases like the OtterBox or Lifeproof for the M8? I need it for work, the better protection the better
thanks

1) Yes unlocking and rooting is very simple, it's all done with one application called Sunshine. All though it costs $25 it unlocks your phone & S-OFF's it. Rooting requires flashing a custom recovery and flashing the SuperSu zip file. Very simple. Also you can try using HTCDev which will work as long as you're not using the Verizon variant I believe.
2) will edit when I find out in a moment and or someone else will have to tell you. EDIT: Don't think so but might be wrong and theres probably other ways though
3) Yes there is an Otterbox, not sure about the other though.
Unlocking and rooting are easy but if you're not familiar with HTC phones do your reading first, people new to HTC sometimes get confused. There are lots of guides here to walk you through whatever you want to do.
For root you will need to unlock the bootloader (unless you've got a Developer Edition) so just follow one of the guides.
You don't need S-Off to root your phone. The free S-Off options don't work for newer M8s and I don't recommend paying for it if you don't know what you'd need it for; you can always do it later if you want to.
ROMs - just click the link on the M8 page and see what's on offer.
Chromecast works just fine - I use it for Netflix and YouTube with absolutely no problems. I hear that screen mirroring also works on some ROMs but it doesn't work on the one I use.
I have the M8 Otterbox, and it's a solid case. The only things I'm not thrilled about are the lack of protection for the power button* and the large (but necessary) openings for the speakers. Overall, it doesn't feel quite as sturdy as my Skyrocket Otterbox case, but so far it has done fine.
No clue on the other case, as I don't own it.
* Required for the IR blaster to work, but I'm still not comfy with it being exposed like that.
