Does anyone know is it possible to S-OFF using an XTC Clip? I know they claim to be able to S-OFF any HTC phone but the ONE X is slightly different as is the first fully enclosed HTC, if im not mistaken.
Anyone know anyone who has tried and the outcome?
Correct me if I'm wrong but...........
The method that the xtc clip uses is by either creating a gold card or plugging into your sim card slot.
As we are now on micro Sims and have no sd card slot I don't think it will work in its current form.
If anyone else would care to enlighten me if I'm incorrect, I may consider getting one!

I think it is unlikely the XTC Clip software will be updated.
If you make the gold card yourself rather than using the XTC Clip software then maybe it is possible.
I have seen on youtube someone created a goldcard and loaded it via a usb cable and sdcard reader.

Buy a spare sim cable for the XTC device and then cut it down to the micro sim size. I know it can be done with normal sims so should be possible although trickier with it not being soft plastic.
Maybe it will work... If I decide to buy the One-X I will have a go.

I read online that some Chinese resellers have managed to solder a SIM Card Connector to the Incredible's motherboard that originated from Verizon USA.
Has anyone heard of this? Can we just solder a compatible SIM Card Connector onto the Incredible or are there other things that need to be done?
This would allow the Incredible to be used on their local CDMA network.
Attached are pictures of the authentic finished product with the SIM Card Connector.
I took a close look at the motherboard & indeed there are solder contacts for the SIM Card Connector.
Was wondering if one of those SIM Card Connectors available online & attached here could fit in that slot.
Anyone able to advise on this?
I hope to use my Verizon HTC Incredible on the China Telecom network in the future.
Please advise me...
Google gold card. There is a way to format a sim card to be used on overseas CDMA networks.
How does that thing work, and does it work?

The reseller was touting that it will work on the China Telecom network. I might need to verify if he meant the GSM or CDMA network.
I was wondering if the hardware for Incredible is similar to the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 in that it supports dual radio? Sprint's TP2 has CDMA as primary & GSM/WCDMA as secondary cellular radio.
That could explain why there is a SIM card slot in the Incredible.
On a related note, I discovered that the reseller mentioned something about writing something to the phone related to the following:
Basic communication functions: IMSI, ESN, A-Key EVDO Internet access: AN, AAA Does all these make sense?
I got the above information from this article: http://translate.google.com.hk/tran...=lPv&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivns

tulalhyt,
Do you mean that you have a 'converted' HTC Incredible now?
Which network are you using it on? CDMA or GSM?

spence341,
I googled 'gold card' like you suggested & I don't know what it has to do with this?
Here's an excerpt from an online resource:
What is a Gold Card ?
A Gold card is a special SD card which when inserted into your device allows you to flash RUU files with a different CID to your own device. For example if you have a AT&T branded device it will allow you to flash a generic ROM. As for formatting a SIM card to be used on overseas CDMA network, the Verizon HTC Incredible does not have a SIM card inside now so how can this work?
Or am I not understanding you correctly?
Thanks!
Konker
I am not sure, I came across a post by somebody in china that was creating a gold card to use the Inc in china. I don't know enough about it to give any advise.

Hey guys,
I have a dinc, n i followed up the procedure and installed a sim slot on my phone, now i have a phone with a sim slot and a sim card from a CDMA operator (rightel in IRAN) , but nothing happens, and i think i have to do something with my software n os (i don know!)
Now what should i do? is there any special rom or image for supporting sim slot inorder to detect other CDMA networks. how can i select an exact carrier?
Can someone tell me for certain (someone who has the phone or has opened one up), tell me if the Galaxy Nexus has a micro sim slot or not? I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere...
No, normal SIM.
Just look at the instructional videos straight from google. It does not have a micro SIM. It has a standard (what we think of as standard is actually "Mini") SIM.
Remember though, you can put a micro SIM in a mini SIM slot. You just need a small plastic adapter to make it seat properly.

The Galaxy Nexus definitely takes a normal sim card. The confusion may have arisen over phones4u sending out micro sim cards with new orders but this was a mistake and a standard sim card is the only one that will work in there.

Well like I said above, a micro SIM will work if you use an adapter. The adapters allow you to slot a micro SIM into them and provide extra plastic around them to be the size of a mini SIM.
The slot in the phone is most definitely a standard SIM slot though.

Not entirely true, it is possible to balance/wedge the microsim on the contacts and have a working phone

Well that would have been ok then IF an adapter had been supplied with the micro sim but as it wasnt then its totally useless lol.

Yes I agree that wedging random things in sim slot is bad idea, however....
If you happened to be like me and have tons of random mobile crap or sim leftover items like the cards that are credit card sized which house the original micro-sim often, then some of them have an actual cutout of a larger sim original size sim to be more clear which is popped out then the micro-sim is popped out of that piece. It's a backup/cheap way I figured for companies at one time to make sims and ship them out in one pack/card then when the user gets their phone and they match up what sim size they need they have both options....or I could be very wrong who knows.
Any ways, my point is simply that one of those leftover housings of a original size sim that you might have popped out a micro-sim from for another phone can come in handy as all you do is simply place your current micro-sim in the gap where another one used to be and it kind of even snaps into place then you have a bootleg like adapter for micro to original size sim. I don't know it worked me on my i9250 gsm world nexus and verizon.
normal aim

I've read in different places conflicting specs about ONE X SIM card. Which one is true? does it come with normal SIM or micro?
It needs a Micro-SIM
Mine has a Micro Sim as well.
Mine microsim. But no problem, normal sim can cut

FYI: Normal sim card is the size of a credit card, mini sim is what you'll are referring to.
And the HTC One X uses a Micro sim.

We know that it isn't a "micro" sim,but that is how it's called by the companies.

Ok then, is it like the one I have in my HTC Desire HD or like the one my son has in his iPhone? (that way we can't get it wrong)
Mini sim on the left (bigger), micro sim on the right (smaller).

Hi Folks, I have been using T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 T989 for almost an year now without any problems, just recently I got a Samsung Galaxy Note2 which uses a Micro SIM Card and with an intention of using JUST one SIM Card on both the devices (as most people do) I CUT the original SIM card into a Micro SIM card and used it in Note2 and it worked Seamlessly fine, now to use the Micro SIM card in S2 I had to use a Adapter which I did and while trying to fit it in and (of course when it didn't fit) while puling it out the Edges of the SIM Card Holder/Reader tipped (on the edges), causing disconnection of the SIM card with the Assembly. I still am able to fit the card in (requires Perfection) and make it work seamlessly fine, but I still wanted to know the procedure to replace the SIM Card/Micro-SD Slot Assembly in the UNIT.
Also I was able to find a OEM replacement on EBAY selling for around 13$
I will be delighted if someone can guide me in taking out the Assembly and replacing it with the new one. Please note that my Skill level is intermediate and I am pretty much experienced in opening up the electronics and have teared opened Gadgets like PS3, Xbox, PSP, Windows Phone, IPhone with ease. Also please tell me if the replacement requires any soldering as I am not comfortable with it.
If anybody has any Tips and suggestions, please email me at [email protected].
Regards,
Naveed
What a coincidence, I'm looking for the guide too. Can anyone share with us? I broke my sim card slot. I bought a replacement and tried to explore how to fix myself. I was able to disconnect the connector but I am not able to remove the whole jacket. Can someone pin point us on that?
Your help will be greatly appreciated
@Danbuffalo, can we sync-up over the email. Please send me a Test email from your ID at [email protected] I need to tell you a lot of things.

Did any of you ever work out how to replace the micro sd card reader? Mine quit reading the card and I'd like to replace it.
I bought one off of Etradesupply.com but they sent me one for the gt-i9300 which is a smaller one and doesnt fit where can I buy an OEM one from?
anybody?
I'd like to buy one today if somebody could help me
You can do it right in your phone with an app called "Sim Contact Manager."
Much cheaper, too!
Edit: I had not tried this since transferring to S3. Doesn't work in this phone. Must be something different with micro SIM.
mengtor or gounlock.
Search for i747
Just as a tip for somebody that finds this thread in the future - You can buy the I9300 sim card tray all you need to do is peel the sim card and micro sd card reader from the iron plate and put it on your original i747 plate..Both readers can be removed easily by peeling them off they are just held on by glue
