Hey guys,
I'm a total noob and will probably make a total fool of myself with my questions..
I had the Virgin Mobile HTC WFS (marvelc) phone in the states... Now I'm back in India and need to switch networks.. For that I've been told I need to unlock the phone and install a new OS (basically drop the virgin OS).. I've got the procedure and the files to s-off and root the phone.. what should I do next?
Thanks for any help!!

Call virgin mobile and get the 6 digit msl code for your wildfire s, that will unlock it, but
i dont think you could use the phone on another network, unless maybe you flash another firm ware? maybe a member here can chime in on this

Thanks so much...
Could you probably also tell me which one would be a stable firmware to flash onto the phone?

Not sure of "stable" but someone has made CM9 for marvelc/virgin mobile phones. The creator of it has also made multiple ROMs for marvelc if you go to his profile. Heres the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714550

I've looked around quite a bit actually and have found a thread with a few firmwares... However, these all seem to be still in beta mode.. It would be great if anyone could tell me whether any of the rom's from the following link could be used for my purpose??

Are there CDMA networks in India? If so, then help can be given. If there are only GSM phones in India, then you will have to get a new phone.
A GSM radio (and especially a full RUU) CANNOT be flashed on a CDMA phone. It will NOT work; you will brick your device.

@kalaker-There are a few CDMA networks around here.....so there musn't be any problem as far as Radio is concerened
@agarwalayush-S-OFF your phone,root it.....insert the CDMA sim you want.....and wait a bit.
The main dev of CM9(Modpunk) is bringing support to Marvelc(he added it in the current release but it doesnt seem to work correctly as of now)

You don't have a SIM card on CDMA. Only GSM networks have SIM cards.
Also, Simon already has a stable (for a beta) build in his CM9 thread for Marvelc. Modpunk will have to start a new branch to full support Marvelc.

Thanks for all the support.

The only one is beta version. It's a good, stable ROM, though.
The link is in the second post in the thread.
Known Issues:
No Camera
No Bluetooth
No Wi-Fi tether
my only thought is if you had an India cdma phone that's active you can back up the AAA key and flash that to your phone (its not like flashing a ROM)

Most interesting post i did not know the msl/spc unlocks the phone will try this , but also you did have to call virgin to get that code that from using CDMA Workshop 2.7 or CDMA Workshop 3.5 demo

I am facing the same problem please help me out to use HTC Wildfire vergin USA mobile S on Indian CDMA network.
I already manage to get SPC and also able to root the device and transfer an Indian CDMA network PRL but no success.
In some of the thread I came to know that I need to change the ROM is it so then please guide me the detailed steps.
My Model Number : HTC_A510c
ROM : 1.02.652.00
S-off, root, install custom recovery like cwm. Then you can flash one of the many roms for the marvelc.

To keep the development clean you can discuss here all related things concurring s off benefits and more.
Huh?
There is a huge thread that's never far from the top.
think he means that the thread is now development not development and discussion now.
Yes because that thread is cleaned a several times i do not want to risk its getting closed or the developer is getting sick of it and stops.
So please if you have something to say about soff that is not helping in anyway to get us nearer to a soff device please post out here if you want it of your back :good:
Just wondering, can we safely flash radios without S-OFF?

Yes unlike early version the radio is within the ROM. So if you flash a ROM with new base you are flashing with the new base.
What are we wanting from s-off then? If we can change the radio, remove carrier branding, change roms and sim-unlock, what else is there?

People want S-OFF so they can do stuff to their phones without having to use HTC's tool to void their warranties. I would assume that's one of the biggest ones.

The ability to flash boot.IMG from recovery is also a good perk. No need to get to a computer to flash a new kernel or ROM.

You can remove carrier branding without s-off by rooting and installing a custom rom but, for sim unlock, s-off is needed.

The LTEVO has s-off guys, go check that out, I think it would benefit one x. We technically don't need s-off tho, we can flash everything from recovery. No need to keep running to a computer

Flash what ever ROM in the GSM forum. You can pretty much flash any ROM you want as long as it's not Verizon or Sprint

@G4liant: ah, thanks for the link.
it looks to be the same verson as mine 1.45.401.12
is there only the 1 rom for any dual sim?
ok, downloaded that file but 7-zip and winrar both say there are errors.
is there an md5 or sha file?
the exact size in windows i have for the file is 1,506,353,851 bytes (in file properties)
i will re-download again but on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54165224&postcount=1
it looks like the same problem
i will continue there.
on another russian site there is a link to another file which is only 948MB, i assume that this wil be no good also
