I have a totally unbranded and sim free HTC Desire S which is S-On, i know i need an xtc clip to make it S-Off. The guy with an xtc clip near me says he can only unlock with it, as that is all he has done. What i want to no is......
if i get my already sim free phone unlocked by XTC Clip will that give me S-=Off?

Hello, I have a HTC ChaCha and was wondering that there are some people who have S-OFF or use an XTC-Clip to root their handsets.
But unfortunately I was unaware of this 'S-ON' and I purchased a phone on contract for 24 months and now when it's time for ROMS - I'm stuck.
So, my question is are all editions of the HTC ChaCha on Three UK 'S-ON' or is there a way that I can grab an 'S-OFF' by swapping my phone.

Most all phones that leave the HTC factory are S-ON. You would have to be extremely, extremely lucky to get an S-OFF handset off the production line, in fact it'd be damn near impossible.
You can't get S-OFF by flashing another ROM.
I'm not sure if the rEVOlutionary software tool supports the ChaCha, you may have to find yourself a Clip (or someone nearby who could loan it to you) to gain S-OFF.
Good luck!
Hi,how can I unlock my Desire S ..... I find lot of tutorials how to unlock Desire but nothing for desire S.....
??
Be more specific on the subject!
You want S-OFF, ROOT or UNLock bootloader?
Answer!
Official S-OFF is NOT possible EVER, I think!
Unofficial S-OFF is available... use 2nd pinned topic in this forum!
ROOT is possible after you S-OFF your phone and/or Unlock your bootloader officialy!
Unlock is comming officialy, DS is not on the list yet, but it will be eventually...
With official Unlock you get S-ON STILL but with bootloader unlocked which gives you right to root your phone!
So S-OFF and unlocked bootloader arent the same things? Then what is the relationship between them.
If by "unlock" you mean your phone is sim locked, then you going to have to use that same trick you used to obtain your phone, money.

Basically you need to pay the provider you obtained your phone from, to unlock your phone. It's NOT something you can do for free.
I just unlocked my desire s with a code from unlockfusion on eBay. I can recommend him if you're looking to buy a code.
The only way to SIM unlock Desire S is to pay...either for a code from various sites, to the operator or through XTC clip. Pick the one that suits you most. But note that if you unlock it via third party (site or XTC clip) your warranty is void
I try to bay code from 3 or 4 sites... and they send me same code, but when i type code its say wrong code,and phone is still locked...
sorry on bad english ...
Are you, by some chance, on Telenor Serbia? If yes, you can not unlock your phone via any unlock code bought online, because Telenor locks its phones on its own - not via HTC like most of provider.
Only way to unlock phone is to wait until the contract ends and then get code from Telenor for free or find service with XTC clip (but beware, this voids your warranty).
I used Revolutionary to S-Off. I allowed Revolutionary to install Clockwordmod as recovery. I then used One Click to root. Finally I flashed Virtuous ROM Affinity and it works very well. Just wished I had done it earlier. The ROM has Sense 3.5 and it very smooth.

Im from bosnia ,its BH telecom... I will bay xct clip ...hehhe
This has nothing to do with the topic in this thread. Here it is discussed about SIM unloking, that is using the phone with a SIM from another carrier

Does anyone know if the Desire unlock software also works for the Desire S?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943726
Or if there is another free method of unlocking?
Best method is XTC Clip. Not free though.
If you want a free method, you can look here :

Desire S works with it, but you must have Windows.
Is there a guide on how to sim unlock using that software?
I don't know but I personnally tried to work with it and i wasn't able to s-off, sim-unlock my phone. So ... buy an XTC Clip. It's not that expensive.
Sent from my Desire S
Before I fork ou for a clip, I just wanted to check there weren't any other options.
I've tried 3 unlocking sites after seeing recomendations on here and none have been able to provide me with a SIM Unlock code.
I have also tried Rooting and S-Offing the phone, and installing a few unbranded ROMs, but the lock is still there.
Thanks in advance.
yes, you do. Currently, there is no way to sim unlock the Desire S with software, XTC Clip is your only option
If you're in the UK I've an XTC clip you can buy or borrow for a fee?
Too late, I just ordered one. Costing £34.
No worries! Happy unlocking!
