Hpw to root a Wildfire S?

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.

PLZ NEED cracked the S-ON on the Wildfire S via software

plzzzz pro guys we need cracked the S-ON on the Wildfire S via software >>> im verry tired serching for but no one answer and no body care plz plz plz we need a solution for this !!!

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.

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.

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.

S-OFF is possible

Please don't ask how, why, when or whatever else!
This is only a general question to all of you​
I'm thinking since two weeks to ask the community if there is an interest to get S-OFF on the HTC One X device.
BUT!!!!!!!
We need to buy some hardware for this - and that's the main problem.
We have found an option to S-OFF devices but to cover the cost's we need to charge 20 Euro for each device (include shipping)
Currently there is no other way to make it possible and it seems HTC will not release something for doing this.
We have done a test on a HTC 8 and HTC One X device and it's working. From this point of view I guess we can cover almost every HTC device. But this is a different story. Even my own device is still S-ON.
The Plan:
We will create a page where you can order the S-OFF option for almost EVERY HTC device. You can pay via PayPal or add the money within your shipping package.
We was trying to make a remote solution but this is not working at the moment but I hope we can release this within the future. At the moment we have no chance for some tests. Why? Because of the missing hardware
The next problem is that you need to ship the device to GERMANY. We will make it S-OFF and SuperCID it which will not revert when you flash it and ship it back on the same day.
Bevore we do the invest and starting with all the things which are required, I want to ask all of you if you are interested about this.
At the moment we are all not happy about this solution and I'm not a friend of this way. But it is a way and we hope HTC will think about S-OFF within the future.
My question to all of you:
ARE YOU INTERESTED ABOUT THIS SOLUTION?
What do you think about this?
DON'T ANSWER VIA PM! NO PM's!​

First, on which base we can believe you?
You didn't provide any evident that you or your team are able to S-OFF any HTC device. Moreover, you even mentioned that your own device is still S-ON.
My answer:
No, I am not interested in s-off when it costs me 20 euro and having to ship it to an anonymous person who said so on internet.
My max amount for a real s-offing is 5 euro and giving that s-off-ing is instantly.

Yea he's probably "Baked" lol; but in all seriousness unless someone here has S3's to just have fun drop-testing, no one will be willing to give their phone an international journey before themselves.

Sure, don't care about the fact possible or not.
It's just a question if we can cross charge the cost. This is what I want to see, 5 Euro is an example. But with this price we would need round about 800 (!) devices.
Damn!!

This is the HTC way... Would be the same if I say people to XDA send ur phone. I get the javacard en s-off all the devices...
XDA wants to see a way of s-off for the public.

I know... But it makes no sence to me to buy equipment for 4000 Euro to unlock my device and trash everything after I have S-OFF.
On the second hand it makes no sence to me to unlock my device because no one is able to support unlocked devices. (F***K)
That's all a big ****!!!

Watch the bloodpressure bro

Given that we cannot prove if it's true or not, and required shipping my device to an anonymous person in another nation, there's NO WAY I can risk it and 20 euro.

ARE YOU INTERESTED ABOUT THIS SOLUTION?
What do you think about this?
DON'T ANSWER VIA PM! NO PM's!​
My Answer to you: :good::good::good:YEEEESSS:good::good::good:
I have no Problem with the 20€, because there are many Tools/Mods which need S-Off and this is worth it to me.
And when a trusted Member of XDA is the Person, who will recive the Phone, I will also have no Problem with that.
Sorry for my bad English
Sincerely yours

This doesn't sound right to me. Maybe someone near Munich could catch up with the OP and see if he really can S-OFF the Device

He is currently not able to s-off anything. I think he wanted to collect the money ,so he can buy some sort of JTAG/Flashbox. Although I don't know what costs 4000 euro!
Anyway this misleading thread. I'd recommend the OP to ask any mod so they close it.

Like Xmoo said, this method is known for a long time. But without a remote solution it is no option for me. I'm not going to send my phone to Germany. Main reason: I simply need my phone. The money is not the problem, I would pay 20 euro in a heart beat for S-Off.

Don't care at the moment if it's working. This is not the question if it is working. Be sure, wenn we have it, we will release this here at XDA.
We also was thinking about this "S-OFF Drive-In" solution and be sure even this will be possible.
Come, S-OFF, enjoy & Go!
We don't have a problem to do it within this way.
Right now I want to know if someone else would pay for this. Not to become rich, just to cover the invest!

The solution!!!!
We also could open a project like "bread for the world" and try to collect the money. Maybe within 5 years we got it
We are dealing since weeks on this. But if you start the project "S-OFF for the world" I also would spend 10 or 20 Euro's for this. But this will be not a solution when I will be the only one idiot who will spend for this project.
Give me a other solution and we will do it.

i would pay for s-off too, even fly to germany \o.

I would:
a) never pay for S-OFF as I can do all I need to do with S-ON (little extra effort but SAME result at the end of a day)
b) never send my phone to a complete stranger even in my own country

[Q] Rooting Verizon HTC One M9??

First of all, I just recently switched from IOS to Android so I don't know a lot of the correct terminology or parts of rooting yet. But, as I've searched around it seems there is no way to root the Verizon model of the htc one m9. All I want to do is be able to root my phone and get cyanogen mod 12. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

As of this moment, the only way is thru the use of a Java Card. There's a thread in this forum devoted to that, where you can get with one of the members that has a card and ship your phone to them for the procedure. Other than that, just waiting for beaups and jcase to get their method safe and available for public release. There's also a discussion on that.

Thank you so much for responding so quickly! I think I will just wait for the devs to release something. But, what would they be releasing and how can I keep an eye out for it?

You can also make an attempt at finding someone close to you who would be willing to meet, the procedure is quick and painless from what I hear and it will unlock your phone, it is called "S-Off" in the HTC world and allows you to unlock your bootloader to make the possibilities endless, giving the ability to flash custom ROM's and custom kernels. It is most definitely worth it.. Here is the thread for Java card

OK thanks! Maybe I can find someone on Craigslist to do this.

Please don't look on Craigslist. If you need root that bad, I know someone that can s-off your device with a Java card. Shipping costs both ways will be your responsibility though.

Every bad thing that has ever happened in the world started with this sentence...LMAO JK!

Not every but alot of them unfortunately.

I have never had a bad thing happen to me through Craigslist. Actually quite the opposite. I got deals I couldn't find anywhere else and I met people that were absolutely awesome! Actually the roommates I live with, I found through Craigslist and the job I currently have is because of Craigslist.

Of course 99% of the time you'll be fine but that other 1% will land you in a body bag. There have been a couple Craigslist transactions turned homicides on California in the past few years. If and when I do buy or sell something on Craigslist, I always meet in a very busy public place and bring someone with me. Can't be too careful these days sad to say.

Simple root on this phone won't really be of much use to the regular user with the way write protection is on this device. The real deal will only arrive when s-off and unlocked bootloader happens.

I could have sworn I read that the Sunshine would work on the Verizon M9, but since there is no root, it doesn't get past the initial part of the Sunshine process... I very likely am mistaken though since all other variants were unlockable on HTCdev.
