Hi!
Soon we're getting a Wildfire S in the family, can someone point me on how to root this sucker....?
XTC clip or AlpharevX to make it S-off and then Gingerbreak to root.

That was a deadend, AlpharevX is not available yet, XTC is not realy working on Wildfire S ... any other way at the moment?
The XTC clip worked just fine on my Wildfire S, what makes you say it doesn't? Perhaps I can assist.
Yeah, XTC clip works perfect on mine as I used it. Also there is no other way to do it at the moment.

Got mine free from the company as I was testing it. Also the link you gave for rooting it is for the original Wildfire running 2.1

You can find people in your region who already have the XTC clip (go to the support forums on http://xtc.hk/) and ask them to do it for you for a modest fee (an XTC credit costs roughly 15 euro - so expect a fee around that amount too). If you prefer doing it yourself, you can get the XTC PAYG Clip, which is relatively cheap.
AlpharevX is now in public beta so you can now use that to S-off your phone

Wildfire S is not on the list though...so we can't even try!
Why would they be posting here in the Wildfire S section advertising their program if it doesn't even work for this device.

Wow! Thanks! Last time i checked it was closed
Did someone try it? On the download page doesn't state anything about Wildfire S (Marvel), only Desire, Wildfire, Aria and Incredible S.
Well seeing as they are posting in the wildfire s section I would assume its compatible

I don't know who are "they" who posted on this section. I'm not ready to brick my htc, but if someone try it, please post some feedback.
cheers
"They" are the developers of the program.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122618
If you want to ask any questions about using the program and bricking possibility's go to there IRC
irc.freenode.net/#alpharevx
Also I think that the brick risk is about the same as using the XTC clip.
asked on their IRC Channel about support for Wildfire S or generating a beta key for the AlphaRev X and I was told point blank the Wildfire S is not supported. Basically just had the door slammed very rudely in my face
Wouldn't even say if there was a possibility of getting it supported....

Only way is the XTC clip then until HTC unlock the bootloader themselves.
Bought one on ebay from sonicpromo. I will give it to the person who tells me exactly how to use these things, and I will even pay shipping. All you have to do is put credits on it.
Is it a simple plug and play, or is there more involved?
count me in... this is just to gt name first... will post again
just plug it in, and it has all the steps you need.. super simple... just takes s off...
then use alpharev to root.
look at the xtc clip group by.. there are instructions and steps in there

Honestly I dont even think this is gonna be needed in the next week or so. Either they are going to find out how to root it or someone will go the easy route and figure a way to go back to froyo without S-Off. So you can use Alpharev then.

Mine took about 7 days, can't remember exactly but that does include a weekend as well. Alpharev released their s-off two days after I ordered it so I didn't need it and didn't keep track...lol
see now this could be the start of a great movement for our forum here. someone buys the xtc clip, uses it, sends to to the next person, they use it, they send it to the next person in line....see what im getting at here? all you have to do is pay for shipping and the credit.
Of course all it would take is one Dbag to mess the whole thing up.
But it would definently be one hell of a community movement. The whole inc2 community helping each other out to have everyone on root.
who knows.....its a damn fine idea though.

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.

Like I said before, try and convince the alpharevx team to try again. They tried once before but couldn't unlock it due to the hardware.
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.

Hello. I was looking for cheap socond-hand android phone,and one friend offered his Desire for 150$ is that a good deal?

It's a good deal, when you think it's a good deal. Are you willing to spend $150 dollar on the phone?
Here in The Netherlands, second hand Desires are sold for about €125-€150, so the price seems fair. But it may well be that in your country the prices differ.

If the phone is in perfect status can be a good price, but if he's your friend he might be able to lower it.
I bought mine 4 weeks ago for 100€ with headphones, and I think I made a very good deal cause this phone is awesome.

u dont need a big sdcard for rooting, jeez a 4gb card would be fine for a lot of people, most ext3/4 partitions u need for like 70% of roms only require 1gb/1.5gb. basically what im saying is keep what u have, s-off & root ur phone, learn to flash a rom and so on, and if it turns out that u download like a madman and u need a bigger sdcard then go buy 1, dont just go buy 1 coz some1 tells ya too, coz they aint that cheap.

Oh really!!!
They sell S-off chips in China, what they do is replace the S-on chips with the S-off ships [hardware mods]
At least thats how they explained to me...I got an S-off device, same as a s-on locked device but you can flash RUUs....any RUUs
AW: Taiwanise One X - Can I S-OFF ?
Wait. So you say they replace a soldered IC (I guess the radio chip) to give one s-off?! This is kinda ridiculous, isn't it? Not that I don't believe you, but e.g. where should they purchase s-off'd chips? Also, it's very inefficient, at least it does sound so.
Never heard anything like that either.
Sent from my EndeavorU using Tapatalk 2
Okay even though I am pretty sure I will get to nowhere I am trying to put all the pieces together to see what's needed to S-OFF this bad boy, or at least what is supposed to be needed.
What exactly is a Javacard and what role it plays in this case?
I have found two DIAG files somewhere here on the One X forum. How do I determinate whether they are legit and the right ones?
Has anybody tried this guy method http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=10824156715 ?
Looks like it's about $20 to $25, I could certainly give it a try..
I've seen on Chinese xda that a few people have used above method with success.

Well I looked it up again
The chip is model is KMK2U000VM-B6 04, includes the CPU and flash module
They replace these if you screw up your HOX, some suppliers in China sell already S-offed chips.
There is also a gold/platinum sd-card, which is apparently used to s-off devices....they did not include an s-off method but the cost is pretty steep.
Maybe someone on here with some knowledge can explain....I already have an s-off device
I dont think so you can S-Off.
