S-off official htc dev team

Just came across htcdev.com, I guess this is the official htc DEV team who have releAsed the bootloader unlock, another words to change S-on to S-off. I'm sure many of you probably have seen this. But is it possible to use this unlocker for wildfire s even though it's not on the list. can anyone make comments please ?

I didnt try..but i don't think its possible. In my opinion the unlocking process will validate your phone model and ROM version before going further

Simple answer to anything you people say:
No.

You need an xtc clip, or take your phone to a shop to get it unlocked/debranded.

Not possible yet. A software update is required to include the command to display token information which htc then work their magic with and provide the method to unlock.

not possible
and will not recommend doing that, else, you want your phone to be a paperweight
let's hope htcdev releases unlocking of the bootloader soon.

Just noticed the flyer's been added to the list, looks like they're churning more out

re
Hello, who contacted HTC to see if the wildfire will be released s ... their response was that all phones will be released but little by little. We can expect the release of our phone without knowing the exact date patience is in order .... (Crowns my English translated with google)

Yes i hav also noticed they have updated and added few more device. hope WFS will be listed soon

I Searched for it too
I have been looking for the G13 unlocking tools,
result = 0
unbelievable!
I guess it's just not that popular, unworth the time for big players.
pity~~~
but what i think is that stock ROM is good enuf.

So when an FOTA update comes on our phone, we confirm that we can soon unlock it!!!

wildfire s
Today i went to 2 phone unlock shops but they have treid to unlock
the phone, but they cannot help me, the phone is still locked
So also we have to wait till someone has the sollution

You should have asked them to use the XTC clip.

[LOOKING FOR TESTER] Unlock Bootloader without Unlock Token

Hello guys.
When you use htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader, you will have to provide a device identifier to HTC. Then you get an unlock code.
This way HTC knows you have unlocked, or at least tried to unlock your phone.
What I am looking for is someone with a completely unmodified HTC Wildfire S (factory state). So it must be S-ON and never have been unlocked before. Best would be a brand new Wildfire S.
What do I want to test?
Dump the /radio and the /misc partition before and after several events
---- on an unmodified WFS
---- on an umodified WFS having installed the HTCDEV RUU
Then we will try to unlock the phone without getting the unlock token from HTCDEV.
If that works we will again dump some partitions to see what has changed.
As you may probably be new to this with an unlocked phone I will guide you to all the steps needed. There is nothing to worry about your phone. If it does not work we will make your phone as it was before.
I look forward to getting help in this matter. If it works out this will make the unlocking process easier and will keep your warranty.
Please take you about an hour time to step it all through.
Thanks

O_O
Sounds like a plan... Got mine A-off months ago, before HTC dev bl unlock existed.

i guess you couldn't, since this is meant for the wfs not sensation and that sensation and wfs are completely different

you are right
In china you unlock your HTC phone don't need to unlock token，just a tools，and click unlock，and then your phone unlocked.very east and fast,no body know that？

[Q] I just want to debrand - tell me how?! :)

Hey guys,
I'm due to receive my HTC One X later this week, direct from Orange UK. Big issue for me is the fact that the handset will be Orange bloatware branded. Now I've heard that their firmware isn't actually too bad and has had little customisation. However, what I am dubious of is the fact that Orange take MONTHS to release firmware updates... Incredibly frustrating.
SO, all I should like to do, is get my HOX running the plain and simple stock firmware. So I can receive OTA updates direct from HTC
Now, I'm very new to HTC. This is my first HTC phone since my run in with an old Window's PDA phone around 6 years ago... I became very gifted in the art of debranding and customising Samsung Android phones within the past two years, however HTC is a different game entirely!
Please, can someone give me a simple (I mean really dumbed down) version of how to debrand my HTC, how to root it (if necessary) and anything else in between! I would really, really appreciate it. I am a Mac OS X user, so Mac instructions would obviously be preferable
Thank you all very much for your time!
Eddy

MOD Can I have this moved to Q&A please?

You have just follow this tutorial for MAC OS X user
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592922
Briefly, you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash custom recovery and then custom ROM.

Thank you. Which ROM should I go with? I'd just like a plain and simple one that I will receive update from HTC for.

You can't get OTA updates if you unlock your bootloader from htcdev.com.
Sheesh, have you even read any of the topics in this forum? ;-)

how would this work?
i too am due to get a voda branded HOX which I want to debrand. I'm not interested in rooting or anything... all I want to do is put stock HTC firmware on there which would receive stock unbranded HTC OTA updates as and when they are released....
is there any way to do this yet bearing in mind that I am not fussed about rooting?

Without s-off you can't debrand, you would have to go custom but then you wouldn't get ota updates

Wait to see if somebody can change the bootloader to S-OFF mode and then alter your CID if you want to use the stock HTC firmware and have OTA updates.
Custom firmware can track the latest/greatest HTC firmware versions anyway so you'd get roughly the same end result.

i found this over at modaco but am not sure what exactly has been done:

so very very confused.

1) HTC-Dev unlock is the easiest way.
2) HTC woun't record if you unlock your phone. If you for some reason need to send your phone back for repair, you can always relock it and go back to stock.
3) Follow this guide, it's the best out there.
Good luck with your project - you wou'nt regret it

How can I root HTC M8 in 2023 ?

Happy new year everyone,
I work at a phone shop and a customer wanted to throw in the recycle an HTC M8. Of course, I got the device from the recycle to try to use it for a bit.
I want to root it to put a newer version of android. I want to unlock the boot loader but the HTCDEV website is down.
Do you know any other way to unlock the bootloader ?
Thanks in advance

I just unlocked yesterday too. There are 2 things when unlocking, if your phone is:
1. S-ON: you need to seek for paid service because htcdev.com is down, impossible to switch to S-OFF without it.
2. S-OFF: follow this, this and this instruction.
Read more information about S-ON/S-OFF on HTC devices forum category.

You can google search for "Sunshine HTC", I'm afraid I'm not being allowed to link external paid website on XDA.
