HTC Hasn't Unlocked WFS Bootloader - Tell them what you think! - HTC Wildfire S

The HTC development website (http://htcdev.com/bootloader/) says,
All HTC Android devices launched after September 2011 are unlockable. The website will be updated accordingly to reflect this in the coming weeks. We continue to work on models launched prior to September 2011, please check back often for the status of older devices.

So where does that leave us WFS owners? As of right now, in limbo until they decide to release our bootloader.
So what can you do about it? The page also says,
HTC is committed to listening to users and delivering customer satisfaction

So, head on over to the comments page (http://htcdev.com/contact) and let them know what you think.
But remember that HTC is an organization of human beings, and human beings generally don’t respond well to “Hey, you jerk-faced idiot! Do us all a favor, would you?” So do be polite.

???
Why u post that? And create a new useless thread too.
Wildfire S released in April 2011, and they said, that they unlocked all devices released after September 2011.
Now they working to unlock the others. So wait for HTCDev or help us to find a software solution to set s-off.
If they unlock bootloader u will see that in the s-off topics.

Another useless thread. I think HTC know perfectly well what WS users think about their policies of locking bootloader, but they don't give a f##k.
So, let's help our devs who are working hard on finding a solution for our well known problem.
And please stop opening useless threads!!!

They are going to unlock it, it's just going to take a millenium.

The WFS will have to get a OTA, get the fastboot command for htcdev to work

Oneil... The threads aren't going to end. Better to focus on S-OFF and let them flood in until it's achieved.

Do this S-off Wildfire S?

Afaik, the HTC-Dev method of unlocking the bootloader still leaves you with S-ON, however it lifts the protection of the system, boot and recovery partitions.

Yep unlockable as of now

I told you so!!

Great news.

You guys make me laugh. Then:

Had to scour the net for this. Hope this helps Asian Desire Z owners like me. Cheers!
That's an earlier version than the shipping ROM for those phones, isn't it ? The PC10IMG.zip file was posted here some weeks ago.

guess so, that's the newest version I have seen so far on the Internet.
But I did root, S-Off and flashed Overclock modules before doing a system backup.
don't know that if I dump my ROM , will it still be same as the original

No, because of the changes you've made to it.
Speaking of, I need the 1.34.707.5 RUU that came with my phone. This version is kinda sluggish. Slower than my desire. wish i didn't try to hack it without a ruu to fall back on.

Might be worth asking HTC for one ? I don't see why they shouldn't give it to you. No harm in trying, anyway.

Seriously? They give out RUUs? What do I tell them (not to arise suspicion) since the phone is on warranty.

I'm pretty sure that's where all the RUUs originate from. Maybe tell them your phone was acting kinda weird and you tried a "return to stock" but that wouldn't work, so you want to try flashing the ROM again to see if that helps rather than sending it back ?
You can open a support call via email on their website. You have to supply a serial number, so they probably won't ask too many questions and might even just give you an RUU.
Work asking, anyway ? Maybe someone else can think of a better story, that was just off the top of my head.
I'm ****ed. Of course I didnt tell them I flashed an older ruu rom.Their reply is:

ok, well it was worth a try. Is there something specific in that ROM that means you couldn't use give the standard European ROM a try ? e.g. particular Asian languages that you need ?
Not really though I've been trying to make a goldcard through the goldcard app and failing miserably at it.

I have got an idea. Tell them you are running a old version(you get this phone from your friend, and you didn't know where it's from), like 1.34.4xx.x
and ask for 1.34.708.5 or newer
see how they reply
edit: I have post HK 1.34.708.3, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860430
hope we can get 1.34.708.5 or newer
sorry i'm just curious if you're able to flash this over to the g2? trying to find a chinese UI for the g2

You got 3 options wait for official unlocked bootloader, buy xtc-clip, or find an unlock shop, because no one here is gonna help you. Me personally i'm taking my phone to unlock shop soon, if and when I do get unlocked I will do my best to help everyone.
This phone has a lot of potential and theres alot of developers out there that would love to have this phone, unfortunately locked bootloader is a major factor in there decisions. The sooner we get unlocked the better.
I don't have this phone myself but my girlfriend got it yesterday so it's kinda like a new toy for me too. I might have to convince her to get it S-off'd at a local unlocking shop so I can tinker with it
It's shame there's no unlocked bootloader for it though... I bet HTC would sell a lot more units if they didn't lock them.

Is HTC planning to issue RUU for the M8 or not !?

Hey Guys ,
I have been waiting for so long for the RUU . Anyone has an idea when is it going to be available ?
I just want be confident if i missed the phone up i could bring it back to default with a single file without the hassle of recoveries and flashing stock
nothing yet ?
HTC have never really officially released RUUs for their phones, they've leaked from service centres/HTC staff in the past. Some US carriers do release them but the unbranded ones are like rocking horse sh*t!
I have it for the US unlocked version but the forum doesn't let me post links.
Why not? Seems weird as this is the place to share

You have to have so many posts before you can post links. Its to keep bots/people from spamming the forums.

Just find a "Show us your home screen" or "Pics taken with your phone" type of thread. One of the reasons those are there is to provide ways to help newer members reach their 10 posts. Pretty sure you're still able to add pics as an attachment when <10 posts.
This works on CID BS_US001 unlocked version:

Not sure where you meant to post this but the highest HTC software version the vzw has is 3.X.X. There's still no software exploit for the m9 either so even if you somehow could downgrade there's nothing to downgrade for.
Thinking you are an m8 guy?

Nope not the m8 guy. i just bought my first htc phone since my last one about 12-15 years ago. i honestly did not know what to ask. that is why i am asking here. i have been a Samsung Galaxy person so long. HTC is all new to me again. I was hoping that if i could downgrade then i would be able to root my phone so there would be less headaches. I almost feel like a total noobie here.

OK. So no software exploit. There's a Java card thread in the general section where you can locate users who might be close enough to meet up or that you can ship your phone to in order to get s-off.
