XTC Clip on the way

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

Alright I bet they'll have something ready by the time the damn thing shows up. oh well.. i need cm7..lol

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.

Yeah I held off on buying it, my impatience always comes back to bite me so I decided to wait it out. I know I'd be pissed if I bought this and they released a method one to two weeks from now.

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.

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.

I purchased my clip from them, very fast and reliable

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.

Just got one on Ebay for $50 usd. I'll be done with it in a week or so and can pass it to the next one who needs it.

Talk to the guys from revolutionary one of them managed to help someone on the incredible s forums flash a custom Rom and recovery while still having s on.
1. 16 hBoot on Inc s had the same issue as you guys.
Seriously might be worth looking into

Thanks for link!
Do i need to buy the "HTC Wildfire S Debrand Pack" along with the clip itself in order to be able to s-off it ?

To be honest I purchased the debrand pack out of curiosity, basically a micro SD card with a zip file.
From memory I think it was a pre made gold card.
No need to buy it.

No don't buy it.
You can debrand without s-off if you do your research and check the shipped roms thread.
Just get the clip.

Xperia S - Still worth buying?

Hey there.
Planning to buy a new phone in April or May, and have narrowed it down to XS and S3 Mini.
Now, I love the XS design, camera and all other features. All in all, its quite an awesome phone. Just a few questions to be asked:
1. Are the capacitive buttons alright? I'm buying the phone online, so no chance to use. I've seen many people on video reviews saying they're hard to touch. Is it really that difficult?
2. Is the back cover a bit flimsy? I've seen in a couple video reviews them mentioning it easily comes off. Is this a big issue? Because I don't think I hold the phone so tightly for it to come off.
3. Is it still worth buying? Do note that I am going to use Stock for a month before switching to FXP CM10. And its a 2012 June phone, so yeah.
4. How do I go about saving all my SD card stuff on this? If I flash CM10, how do I retain the SD card stuff, which I would have transferred? I don't quite understand. And how will I go about with the mass storage? How does it work?
Thanks a bunch in advance. All replies, including useless, troll ones will be thanked with the button.

Thanks so much for the reply. For the last question,
If I have songs and stuff on my ad card. I transfer them to the phone. I flash cm10, so do tyr transferred files remain like an SD card? Because I don't understand how this works.

I would like to, but its going to be very expensive. I'm getting XS for 20k INR (~$360-365) online. That would be for like 30K. My budget ends on 21K tops.
Edit: Since I'm buying it online at eBay India, how do I avoid the yellow tint issue? What do I ask the seller?

[Q] Need help converting to stock

I'm going to sell my S3 for $300, it's completely new, been in a case from the moment its been bought. So i want to sell it as if I just bough it from AT&T. I'm running CyanogenMod 10 and have CWM as a root. I'm not sure whether or not it's been rooted would mind if it was rooted or not, so should I unroot it? And apparently everyone wants their phone unlocked, so should i do that too? And lastly, i tried to make a recovery before, idk if i did, but i want all the memory wiped..as if brand new.
