XTC clips....please read

Hello all,
Everyday I see new threads on the XTC clip...which clutter this forum
Rather than all individually creating a new post saying XTC-Clip needed here or here.. Please first read and then post in the already existing thread (see the first URL below) which is created in another forum and may well already contain your answer. You may also find the information below useful.
INFO:
The xtc device works on nearly all htc phones. Most phones come by default as S-ON (security on). Currently the xtc clip hardware device is the only method to make your phone S-OFF, this is the first stage to making your device root and being able to instal custom roms. People are currently working on creating a software method to achieve S-off but this is not yet possible.
Using the xtc device will invalidate the warranty of your phone and cannot be reversed, so be sure you fully understand what you are doing.
If you are still unsure as to what a XTC-Clip is, or what the terms S-ON, S-OFF or root mean then please try googling these things and reading before asking.

Many Thanks, If you appreciate this post then press Thanks, Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Moderator: any chance off making this a sticky?

nice post dude..
it's better to make s-off / s-on in one thread.
vote this thread for STICKY

But why is it that in old Desire which has an S-ON, can be rooted?
Now with the Desire S, it's impossible (for now). And the only redemption is this XTC Clip thingy.

Because htc in their wisdom choose to instal signed boot loaders

Sorry double post

Quick question regarding the xtc clip, my desire s was bought sim free so already unlocked for any network but still s on. If i go to a shop with an xtc clip and ask them to unlock my already unlocked phone will that make it s off? Or is the process with the xtc clip different?

this is very nice thread about s-off by l0st.prophet

Wildfire s telstra
There is no software method for the Wildfire S sold by Telstra. XTC clip is still needed.

i wouldn't use xtc clip if i were you. If you can, return it. The method is outdated now.

Please tell us what is up to date now? What method for network unlock htc phones? Cheers.

Ah sorry. Yeah its probably the best way to do that. I was referring to S-OFF. However, sometimes networks unlock the phone for free

[ROM]

Here new RUU for Chacha
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc3....3033H_7.48.35.14_2_release_199798_signed.exe
Enjoy!

Thanks. I was able to apply it on my french azerty chacha with a goldcard : no issue with the azerty

hey men, can you provide a tutorial to make goldcard for the chacha (orange france pack)
that would be nice

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954723

Once the goldCard crated, what next ? Just launch the exe update file ?

yes Very good rom, no issue since yesterday ...

Done !
Nothing special to note, testing

Any screen shots guys?
or does it have any screen capture?

What is the difference with the standard ROM?

H football,
No news for a new european build ?
Thanks

- If I apply this RUU, will it change the HBOOT/SPL as well (to S-OFF)?
- What's the difference from the standard ROM?
The SPL (S-OFF) part would be especially nice, as I saw people complaining here that they can't root their device (the ones which have S-ON can't be rooted).
Thanks!

Again, this won't give you s-off, only developer builds will do that (I think) which are internal to HTC and won't be leaked ever.

Hi,
I have an HTC ChaCha which i got from Dubai... It seems to be an Europe Edition.. I tried to load this ROM into it and i got an ERROR.
It said wrong CID or something.. I believe this is an upgrade to the version that is present on the phone...
Can somebody help me with what to do..
Also it says S-ON in the bootloader...
Will htcdevs Unlock Bootloader work to S-OFF it??
Is there any method available, simillar to Sensation and EVO 3D for ChaCha..??
Thx in advance..

Unfortunately it has been said over and over again, s-off is possible with an XTC clip at the moment. If you want you can wait for HTC to unlock the bootloader (which will take some time) or alpharev.
You can either buy an XTC clip or find a local gsm shop that has one and will s-off your phone. Afterwards you can put the rom on it.

Unlock SFR

Hello everyone, how do you unlock SFR?

sorry if my question is stupid, but what do you mean by SFR?

Isn't it a frensh provider?

should be determined with a sim lock

If you want to get rid of your mobile operator limitations you have to flash a debranded rom on your device. You can choose to have stock, rooted stock or custom - according to your needs.
Here you can find all the necessary guides, files and tools.
Good luck

I do not think that's enough to change rom to use any sim

Sorry I misunderstood your question.
In your case as far as I know there is no software way to do this yet, except the unlocking websites (but probably you already know that)

It should be a desire for something like this but I know right?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107

Maybe somebody try the first method? I have no root
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk

As said before, no software way has been found yet for the Desire S...
However, there's the hardware way... You can easily remove Simlock with XTC Clip. This will also S-off your device (needed for root).
So... Look for somebody nearby with an XTC Clip! There's a list of XTC owners on this site somewhere, not in the Desire S forum though.

Hey CrazyAngel1990
If you still have the SIM lock take a look at this thread

[Q] How do I unlock bootloader HTC J Butterfly (HTL21) post OTA 1.29.970.1?

Hello, all.
I am currently stationed overseas in Japan and on au KDDI service and had purchased the HTL21 HTC J Butterfly.
I unlocked bootloader on my first device using SharpIS method of changing SuperCID (22222222) and getting unlock_code.bin from HTC Dev site on stock firmware phone shipped with (1.15 version I believe). Was rooted and running stock. Phone hard bricked about a week after SuperCID process was done and I wasn't fiddling with anything after I rooted phone, so I don't think it bricked from this.
au kindly traded my hard bricked phone for a brand new replacement (yay!). I was hesitant to root this one due to the last one hard bricking and possibly being detected when sent to HTC for repairs. I saw there was a software update and I... STUPIDLY... updated to the latest firmware thinking it would be easier to root after the update rather than go through the process of flashing stock recovery and flashing then losing root. I've had an HTC device before that I'd unlocked and S-OFF so I know how much of a pain it can be.
Now after 1.29.970.1 OTA, I got the itch to tinker again and I no longer can do temproot method to rewrite SuperCID using goroh kun root tools and SharpIS rewrite method. I type adb shell command and I get $, but when I do dev/sh command it says "device not found" and no # (which I know is root access). This is similar to what Droid DNA (sister device) on Verizon are dealing with on their new updates or ones that shipped with latest firmware.
My question is: Is there some other way to get temproot and another root exploit that would allow me to rewrite the CID to SuperCID (22222222 or whatever number if HTC blocked that one too) so I can unlock bootloader?
fnoji111, SharpIS, and goroh kun have come up with some previous exploits that have been patched in this OTA. I have read some poorly Google-translated tutorials on HTCsoku on how to downgrade where fnoji111 states he had luck downgrading and RUU to previous version but I have had no luck (still get main version lower failure message). I have also searched but have found no other exploits other than the one SharpIS posted in the developer forums which is no longer valid due to 1111111 SuperCID being blocked on HTCDev and now temproot no longer allows access to full administrator write permissions using the rootkit. I am not a developer but I have done this process before with this device and an HTC Evo 3D many times and I can follow a clear instruction. Please help!
For the record I am:
S-ON
Bootloader locked
Software version 1.29.970.1
Hboot version 1.41.0000
Radio 1.01.10.0201 (probably irrelevant)
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!

No, I didn't. I also received an answer from fnoji111 on his site and he said as of now downgrade method only works for X920D International version.

While I appreciate the attempt to answer my problem, as I said in my OP I tried the method by SharpIS03 and it no longer works after OTA to 1.29.370.1. I successfully did this method with previous phone at 1.15.370.1. What's been explained is new OTA is new update disabled write permission to system partition meaning no temproot.

some HOPE?
something new on this site!
maybe some luck? is the same procedure....another kind of s off method,and new stuff from vietnamese people!
in some pictures description we have 1.41 hboot?????
this is the link:

But I think will have $ errors device when I start the first step adb install diaggetroot.apk.........
no hope!

Thanks to all for the answers and for the effort to find a solution. In the final what we gonna do with this j butterfly ? It's so bad to have such a grate phone (the best in the market for my opinion) and not to be able to use it....

Not work with unlock code.... To unlock must be reflashed the radiobaseband... I DON'T kknow-how if with xsim or turbosim it is posibile!

I have no idea if we have some hope to use this phone or of is better to switch directly to anoher one.... taking in account that au introduced already htc one with 13 ultrapixel camera that maybe means less interest for butterfly and less people that gonna work on it...._

It took me 2 weeks of searching to answer this question. While there are probably other ways, it's difficult with this precise config because most of the root exploits have been closed by OTAs. You can either use HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader or, better, buy a very cheap XTC Clip in the first instance as that will give you permanent hassle-free S-Off.
