Develop Bugs

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?

Yeah people, we are right back into the game

Huge thanks to the admins for listening to our voices!
Let's hope for a stronger development for our WFS from now on.
Here we come steaming from behind!

What?! Why are you doing it?

Will never be undone. The scene will die even quicker now it is not on the main forum page.

Well, this is just not justified. The original HTC Wildfire keeps its position on the "Promised Land" while its successor is trashed here?! Other than that I can call some more devices which are less "popular" than Wildfire S but they still get to keep their position on the front page.
The main outcome is that the Wildfire S Android development will drop vigorously. Not that it's something special right now. XDA doomed our phone to development mediocrity and there is nothing we can do about it!

Always the pessimist, but I've gotta admit, it's not going anywhere at all.

I don't understand why.
If the devs work together, the job will be done faster.

I guess the begging letter didn't help much.

Check the country and pm the person, if you want s-off!
I will be s-off with xtc clip in two weeks
Then I can test my own hensemods first

That's not good news. Grey clouds is the only person who can give us good news right about now..

This blows
Read title ^

Without wanting to offend mods or admins, I think that the decision to put a 8-9 month old phone on the "Legacy & Low Activity Devices" area is an enormous disrespect to us (I'm being SOFT), owner of such devices.
It's something that seems to be made without even thinking about the consequences.
There are many other devices that should be dead on the main forum page for ages, but still have their position of "glory" there.
Those devices were launched two or more years ago, without any future upgrade in sight. Do you think this is rational? Honestly! I don't think so.
I think that now, even more than before devs should stick together and show that the Wildfire S is NOT a legacy device and much less a low activity device.
I didn't come to this forum for 2 or 3 days due to a very tight work schedule and now I saw this... I am shocked and disappointed with XDA.
My post has nothing to do with the existence of XTC-Clips and the possibility of rooting the WFS almost all around the world. I think that matter is offtopic.
It's just plain nonsense to "archive" a phone with a recent RUU update, with development going on, with users posting every single day, with users needing support and with HTC still having plans for this phone.
It's like HTC saying:"Your phone is 8 months old but we decided that it isn't supported anymore. Don't ask why. We don't care about you."
Sorry for my angry post. Once again I want to say that I don't intend to disrespect who manages this forums. I appreciate your work but this action is IMHO 1000 steps backwards for a respectable community of WFS owners.
Please, pretty please with sugar on top, consider undoing this.
Like other user said, you still have the "old" Wildfire on the main forums and already "deleted" the successor. Where is the logic?!
Please don't make the HTC Wildfire S be invisible. It's like you hate this phone and intentionally want it do die early. That's not fair. I would call it poor judgement but I'm afraid of hurting your feelings. I'm not here for that.
I like to help as much as I can. I have a hard job so my time isn't that much... but still I've shown that if people need my help, I try to be responsive.
Many people upgraded their WFS with my help. I don't want to be pretentious or have credit. I just expect this behavior from XDA, that usaully is a good and reliable source of information.
My most honest respect!

I totally agree with you miguelca.
WFS should be on top of the XDA page because he is still unlokcable.
This phone should be the priority of the community

I agree. The WFS is a great phone. Please put it back

It's not about the S-Off. In my country - Bulgaria, I can easily go and pay about 15 euros for that service. No problem. What really bothers me is that our phone is going to sink in oblivion before it has been given the chance to grow and develop!
I'm sorry XDA, but this is freakin' unjust and unacceptable!
miguelca, kudos for your elaborate opinion!

Where is the moderator of this section?Pls respond couse this is nonsence...

I can't believe.
It's not 10 years old, it's only few months old!!!

You get the feeling HTC is afraid of this low cost phone and wish they hadn't released it?
Now XDA joins the sweep it under the table bandwagon...What next. Someone comes in the middle of the night and steals it off my desk and "disappears" it.

wildfire on main page and WILDFIRE S on Legacy & Low Activity Devices, u must be kidding adm.....

I'm thinking HTC has asked or paid for our WFS to be pushed aside, maybe because they are finished developing for it and have no plans on unlocking bootloader. If so someone (XDA) has sold us out.

[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!

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!

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.

Love how all the big brains say "search before post"
Some of us have busy lives and done play WOW in moms basement 24/7. What people like us do however is actually donatate to xda because rather than searching first we were making a living. Linux/android as I see it along with the awesome developers and contributers at xda is the only hope for our rights as consumers not to get abused in the future by apple and Microsoft.
I have learned so much here, but could have used a little less from the "find it cause I did" crowd.
I'm not trying to insult folks, just appealing to them to be more understanding to the PEBCAK crowd ( problem exists between chair and keyboard).
We don't need them buying iPhone's out of frustration. Cut and paste a link and pm it, easier and moves mission forward.
Lawyers from apple are preparing for final assault and with back room deals and hundreds of lobbyists looks like they got a chance to enslave us once again. Especially now after apple vs HTC ruling.
Since I found xda:
Realized the business phone systems my company sells from multiple manufacturers are all Linux and asterisk based and probably bound to open licence agreement's which never get enforced
My 4 and 6 yo are learning Linux with me now.
I tell everyone not to be afraid of the terms used, its easy if you can read and pay attention. Words like root, kernal, bootloader locked or not, dba, cmod.... list goes on forever and can be intimidating.
So us noobs will give cash to those that will serve us info we need, we go out w friends and joke how even a noob can do it with ease..... well you get how it can snowball.
Maybe I'm over sensitive today about latest ruling, and the way it stinks of deception, but it means alot to me.
My kids friend doesn't have internet cause parents can't afford it. Chances are that child won't do as well as mine simply because playing field isn't even. Why because of comcast lobbyists keep low cost internet from them through bribes done right in open.
Its all around us now, we need our devs, the accountants, housewives, and even long winded folks like myself.
Hope apple lawyers get aids from the tranny hookers they hired for the celebration of last ruling.
Peace and love to everyone else.
Ps: One last note to the "search for it" guys, I know this is the wrong thread! Go slam another code red and jack like a lab monkey to vids of chicks I actually can get. And my bots can beat up yours.

Where I do see your point in that well crafted reply I'm simply stating that not everyone is created equally.
An example would be me being able to search Google with faster with better results than most of my colleuges. Rather than use the "all capital shout" and make them feel stupid I would just forward the link to Google bolean algorithm tutorial.

already found it last night, after 20 minutes of manual searching each posts. I already did what you all said and suggested, even using google. everytime i searched it always show s-off without xtc clip, or wildfire, not wildfire s, so if you have a brain and think for a sec why would this dude ask for help, then maybe you would have found out that it was not easy to look for some specific answer to your question. Not one of you did even posted a link, which you were saying was easy to find.

you don't root using XTC clip, you S-off your phone with your XTC clip...
once you're S-Off you can root it using the tutorial you can find easily here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325730

here's a pictorial guide for xtc clip
For s-off with xtc clip... Lots of them out there... Here's one I found.
For rooting... I use an app called un-rooting from the market. It's quick, fast and allows you to unroot as well.

I would use this with cation, taking apart the M7 is really difficult unless you have the HTC tool they use. ( haven't heard of anyone that really has this tool yet.)
if they do it the current method, the screen will break and they might be replacing it with a knock off if they have to get to the insides.

No hard feelings at all for your cautious searching which is always encouraged when checking feedback on companies and people you may not know of! As for your edit with the BBB, we have been in business for around 4 years now. It's virtually impossible to not have something show up in the over 20,000 orders that we have done since that time. I'd urge people to see the literally thousands of positive references all over the WWW. Those 2 resolved scenarios were false positives where a customer could not reach us by phone on a weekend and quickly panicked. Just making a case for how it's impossible to keep a fingerprint free record especially online as we operate. It would almost be very odd to NOT have something show up with our amount of time in this business.
Now on to the fun stuff!
First off, I'd support a group buy of this as we did for the HTC Droid DNA about 1 year ago if someone heads up the original post for that as I will not be in charge of organizing such a thread due to conflicts of interest with this site and my business. If you are interested in that, the pricing will be better for all so please call me at 657-444-5824. The process is being done via JTAG and we have gotten very good at disassembling the phone. Contrary to the statement above your lcd is in no way compromised or broken as suggested. The device can be disassembled by skilled hands with virtually none to very little signs of entry. In most cases a user may not even be able to tell we opened the unit or the device will have some micro-entries near the volume button area which can only be seen within a 6 inch or less range. We even keep housings (new OEM) in stock just in case. The method is proven to work 100% for any HTC One with any OTA/RUU installed (yes even the 4.4.2 version). The video will easily display why this is currently not a DIY method. Don't worry you guys have some great devs that never stop cooking and I'm sure something will follow via USB. It could be weeks or it could be months. Until then, please don't shoot the messenger that is offering an S-OFF service as I work hard to even be able to produce these for the community!

I'll be back in a week or two. Currently working out stuff for the M8, but I'll dig up my old VZW M7 files ;P.

For what it is worth, I removed my back cover last week to replace a faulty microphone, which is on the little board along with the charger port. Took me about 20 minutes, and as mentioned above, there is almost zero signs of disassembly. Proper tools are a must...

This is the first time hearing that the phone can be dismantled without the screen being destroyed. Kuttos to you guys. Its a hard process for sure. I retract my statement and apologize.
Second, I'm sorry for my overly cautious ways, I've seen to many members get duped into a good deal I tend to error on the side of caution. This is a great thing if you can successfully JTAG the One. I'm interested in the process and have worked with JTAG in the past.

This thread is extremely informative. Probably one of the most informative posts since the verizon 4.4.2 OTA came out. It sums up that there are services available to s-off. Pricey they may be, but to each their own. I love seeing developers and business owners come into the threads and explain in details. Hats off to mobile tech videos!
Sonic - it's good to see you back on the boards as well. Looking forward to an update from you regarding your services being renewed for the vzw HTC One :good:

And I'm looking forward to getting my youtube star HTC One (s-off'd ) back in my hands!

It is shipping today with root and your requested TWRP recovery pre-installed!

Interesting video, and it makes me question why the One was rated almost impossible to repair by ifixit. I still wouldn't want to try, but for someone who knows what he's doing it doesn't seem too outrageous.
Maybe the video makes it look too easy.

I'm coming out of my hole to do this tomorrow. I see no bounty, so i hope everyone is generous enough to help beaups and I get the HTC M8.

If you/beatups release an exploit, I would be willing to donate to the fund for m8s.

The root exploit has been released.

Use weaksauce for temp root and firewater for s-off for htc one m7 on 4.4.2. Jcase just released it. Look up weaksauce.
