Hi guys, I explain the situation:
My Wildfire was initially S-ON and SIM-locked.
I made my Wildfire HBOOT S-OFF, then I rooted it, installed CWM and RemPuzzle. Now, running RemPuzzle, I have SIM-unlocked it.
Question: will flashing a stock/custom ROM via CWM remove the SIM-unlock from it?
Thanks in advance.
it shouldnt make any difference. did you sim unlock by code or xtc clip?

Ok, it should be ok all round, just make a back up before you flash new roms

Digging up an year old thread isn't that useful. The user might have unlocked the device or Ditched it by this time...

There is no free solution yet, you need to pay for an unlock code

Sorry but this isn't correct. You can't unlock it by flashing a Ruu. I you need to buy unlock code or use a xtc clip at present.

I had my Wildfire unlocked using revolutionary method... Previously I was locked to Orange UK.. I just flashed the RUU (Asia India) from shipped roms first; then I used the revolutionary tool - AlphaRevX.... Only issue I had was no mobile network.. I flashed the latest radio img for wildfire using fastboot... I never bought or used an unlock code from anyone...

Are you sure it was locked in the first place?
The cid is hidden away in a partition we can't get to, I don't think revolutionary changes the cid because if it did the alpharev team would know about it and it would have been mentioned before, an ruu flashes original software which is also most probably locked as the carriers would complain to google for making such a simple way to unlock there phones.

Yup I'm damn sure Myhtc was locked... I tried using other operator's sim cards..

Hello,
Is it possible to flash a cdma rom onto a gsm device, because of dev to get s-off?
The virgin us rom, is even for the marvel user, and it will flash the compatible radio, hboot and so on.
Thanks

The cdma unlock only works because our phones don't have a sim. You can unlock in similar fashion with a xtc clip [if you do have a sim]. No true soft unlock [and by that I mean compromising a particular memory address] has been found yet. So, umm can you flash a cdma rom? Sure. Might it brick your device? Quite possibly. Would I try it? Hell no. Go to a shop [that has a clip] and get them to unlock it... Probably run you 10-15 bucks. Hope that helps.

Tried a ROM of CDMA on my s-off desire hd and it bricked it. Good thing I could go onto recovery and use my backup

So, you have flashed only the rom or the hboot too?
Bc the idea is to flash the unlockable hboot of cdma phones, then install a gsm rom with a cdma hboot.
I've been reading but just incase I'm missing something I thought I would ask.
Has anyone found a way to unlock the t-mobile us wfs yet without using an xtc clip?
TIA for any replies.

I know about the htc.dev way but there is no ruu for the t-mobile us wfs and i was. Wondering if it's possible to use another ruu?
Thanks for the reply though.

if you have a cdma wildfire s ( no simcard) then make a goldcard and flash the pg76diag.zip from bootloader, if not get a xtc clip.

Nah its not cdma but I've done it before without xtc clip ?
Then you don't mean s-off. You mean htcdev bootloader unlocked. Check the dev section here for simonsimons bootloader unlock tool, or go to htcdev.com and perform the bootloader unlock mate.

how do i get to S-OFF, it says S-ON on the recovery page after rooting and flashing several ROMs over the months..
You can only get S-OFF with an XTC-Clip.

S-On doesn't allow you to flash another recovery, to get permanent root and flash custom roms.
Unlocked bootloader (still S-On) allows you to di precedent things.
I don't know what S-Off does that is different from unlocked bootloader.
Unlocked bootloader is enough for most of us. I may have said something wrong, but that's how I understood this.

It also allows you total control of the hardware. Ie you can change the size of your mtd partitions so you have more space for apps. Which is very useful if your rom takes up very little space on the system partition. You can allocate that space back to data. Also should you some how kill the software, being s-off means that you can run any ruu without the phone telling you no. Upgrade and downgrade. You can also perform super cid (11111111) which allows you to flash roms from any network/country. Also if you manage to get hardware s-off via a software solution ( a radio s-off and not a hboot s-off) you can run the pj76diag.nbh from the lovely guys at the xtc clip and it will sim unlock the device to any network as well. But if you use the xtc clip its self it will automatically s-off, sim unlock and do supercid
Manny Thanks for the info!
