what is the PayG clip and what is the one I recieved as a beta test. does that mean like u have the clip but need ti purchase more credits? I ahve one test and then raskal is giving me 5 more so if this pans out ill help the inc2 community with the remainder clips. and thanks so much for hooking him up with ur inc2!! this is very exciting!
Planning to buy one once it supports the DInc 2... looking forward to this. Would love to get CM7 on it.
I just wanna unlock this baby so bad!! start the deving!, itll be slow even with XTC because it isnt software but this is still great news!

The one you received is the XTC PaYg... Yes, you will need to purchase more credits after you use the six you were given for testing.
Seems like XTC Clip is definitely a viable option if raskal can get it to work. Since they will be releasing the PayG pricing model we could basically do a group purchase of one. E.g. buy the a single PayG. Each person is responsible to pay for whatever unlocks they use and then shipping to the next person on the list. It seems like you could get your phones unlocked for a reasonable price.... then we could get some fun ROMs going. My $0.02.
Thread cleanup, back on topic please.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my clip is still version 1.3.8, no inc2
Has the inc2 been added? Or is he still working on it?
I think he is still working on it, touchpro said update added, but my clip still isn't getting an update, so I'm not too sure what he meant.
"Update: The device has cleared customs it should be in his hands real soon.'
I think this is what he meant.
Ahhhhh. Gotcha. I didn't think to look in the op.
I already bought my clip a few weeks back so I'm hoping raskal can get it working soon...or at all. I need my permanent root!

I'm hoping.....I love this handset.
With support for the Wildfire S being dropped by AlphaRevX, it looks like the only way to achieve S-OFF is using an XTC clip. For me, it's a bit too expensive to justify buying a clip and using it only once. This thread is for anyone that's interested in pooling together and purchasing the regular XTC Clip that could be shared and then resold. Post below if you are interested and want your name and country added to the list at the bottom.
UK (run by mphi)
The process:
I ordered the clip, and posted it off to the first participant who will post it back to me once finished so that I can post it to the next participant and so on. Everything is done through eBay reputation so that all participants have some protection. I'll set up a fixed price listing with payments through PayPal. eBay buyer requirements: At least 10 positive feedback comments, with 95%+ positive.

Would anyone here be interested in pooling together and purchasing an XTC Clip that could be shared?
I'm thinking I'll order the clip and post it off to the next person, who would post it to the next person after use and so on. When everyone is done with the clip we can attempt to sell it on eBay it and then split the proceeds evenly. It could work out to be quite cheap if enough people are interested.
We'd also have to set some rules to ensure the trustworthiness of the participants (and me) and I was thinking that everything could be done through eBay so that all participants have some protection.
I'm in the UK but don't mind posting to the EU if there are not enough interested people in the UK and everyone else agrees to this.
What do you think?

Have you considered XTC Clip Pay as you go?
I can let you have one of these for £20, this includes 1 unlock credit.
Each top up credit would be £15
I hope this helps, let me know if your interested
Thanks

Hi Darren,
That's a great offer; thanks! I've seen your eBay auctions and the £97.99 price I quoted in the original post is from one of your listings
Though I can't speak for everyone else, I'm a real cheapskate. And buying the non-PAYG clip and sharing it works out much cheaper in the long run:
Revenue from selling used clip @ £10 discount = £87.99 - 0.034*87.99 - £0.20 (Paypal fees) - £0.40 - £1.57 - 0.03*87.99 (eBay fees) = £80.18
Initial cost each = £97.99/5 = £19.60
Estimated actual cost each = (97.99 - 80.18)/5 = £3.57 + postage
(Refund after eBay sale of £16.03 each)
Would you ever consider an XTC Clip rental service? Say £7.50 + £80 collateral (to be refunded after the clip is received back)? PayPal reduces its fees proportionally after partial refunds and I think it would sell quite well...
Hi,
I am in Licolnshire in the UK and would be willing to sign up for this too, provided that it is cheap enough of course!

Brilliant, added you to the list.
One more person and it would be an initial cost of about £20, then a refund of about £15 after resale on eBay.
Is everyone happy with this?

And how is this going to work? Send it from addy to addy and then back to you, or send the phones to you? The second is a much more efficient way of dealing with it, but now sure if I can live without my phone either, lol!

Yep my intention was that it was to be sent from address to address. If people wanted to send phones to me to be unlocked, I would insist on sending the phones back via an insured courier so it would work out more expensive.
If you trust me enough and don't mind spending a bit more to cover the postage, I'm happy to do this as well.

I can't be without my phone tbh... Use it for my internet n stuff, it's just it "could" take a long time. I have waited a couple months now and a couple more won't hurt. As for cost... people are going to have to post the xtc clip anyway, and if I was posting it I would do insured post as it covers me too.

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?

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.

Because the xtc clip is used by many devices you're probably going to be more likely to find one in the marketplace board. I believe there is an 'xtc clips around the world' thread floating around somewhere aswell, but it may be quite outdated.

if u wanna unlock the bootloader, u can also do it by heading down to the HTCDEV site & following the steps for the device..
however, if u MUST use an XTC clip, i am sure u can find it in most mobile shops that sell accessories, etc..

I found one in Gaffar Market. I don't remember which shop but there was a guy who said he can do it.. Better check it out... I didn't use it coz my phone was off for service at that time and then HTC unlocked bootloader..
guy's i'm using a Bravo here in Pakistan, its on 2.2.1 i've rooted with recovery, the issue is that everytime i flash another rom it asks for the "input network pin" prompt and i got no signals and no network, no one can unlock the phone here, but yes on froyo i've got my network, thankfully i restored a backup that i made and i get my network back... any one can help me get my phone fully unlocked so i can flash other roms other than froyo?
I would move this topic from Bravo Android Development over to Bravo General because there is where all of the Q&A topics should go. Just my suggestion, tho.
yes this should be moved, but answering your question @jafferkhan, it happened to me before, it is because you bought an cheap unlock code, everytime you flash it, it will ask for the unlock code, buy the code from another server, I know one that worked for me before, or try direct unlock with sigma key, all this methods are paid services

hey juan, thanks for the prompt response, you guys have helped me understand a lot about this phone, yes you're right, i think i will need to get it unlocked, but the entire phone cost me less than 15 dollars here where i am, and i know that it's been softunlocked, to run on 2.2.1 which is why when i upgrade it, it won't unlock, if you can, how to soft unlock it on CM7.2? so i will keep it on that only and it stays unlocked to use it on that
I don't think you could soft unlock this because there is no soft unlock for the Bravo yet like there is for the Defy. Yes, I did suggest you try the Defy soft unlock as a last resort thru PM but it didn't work. Juan seems to know more about this than I do, even I had no idea there was a difference between normal unlock codes and "cheap" ones that only work once. If anything, just find a ROM you would be comfortable staying on and buy another one of those cheap one time use unlock codes Juan talked about in his previous post. I know in my country I have seen cheap unlock codes go for around 2 US Dollars but I don't know how that would translate to Pakistan currency.

If you are interested there is a used Motorola Bravo that is about 55 USA dollars on Amazon (and there's a new version for about 80 USA dollars). It is locked to Consumer Cellular, but it is running 2.2.2 Froyo which a lot of Motorola Bravo developers REALLY REALLY want. You see, most Motorola Bravo phones only run Android 2.2.1 but ONLY CONSUMER CELLULAR VERSIONS RUN ANDROID 2.2.2 SO FINDING ONE WITH 2.2.2 IS VERY RARE AND VERY SOUGHT AFTER. Here is a link to the Amazon product page:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846
EDIT: I actually made a mistake. The one for 50 USA dollars is actually not used, it is new as well.
If you were to get this and it is running 2.2.2 Froyo as its Android version, me and the rest of the Motorola Bravo fans out there would ask you to first perform a system dump of all the Android 2.2.2 files before replacing the Android version with another ROM. To see what I am talking about with the whole Android 2.2.2 on Motorola Bravo thing (and to learn how to perform a system dump as well) take a look at this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200602
@jasonmerc 55usd is too high, you can buy an atrix by 60
It was the lowest price I have seen for this phone anywhere. He told me he bought his phone in Pakistan where he is, and he said he bought it off of some guy and not on an online service like Amazon. So when it comes to buying one where you are (Santo Domingo) an online service might be your only easy option to buying a phone.
