hey all..
Now since I dont find any possible permanent method to acquire ROOT and S-OFF, I decided to buy an XTC Clip.. According to the XTC Official Support team, it should S-OFF The chacha and the Status and that should give us complete freedom with this brilliantly awesome economy phone.. And i dont think HTC is gona unlock the boot loader for the chacha as they are very busy with sensations and HD's and Dr Dre
People like me wouldn't actually wait for a possible method to come out so that i can S-OFF my phone LOL
I have ordered the XTC clip and will receive it today or maximum tomorrow..
I was just thinking, this XTC clip will be only needed once and it does have unlimited credits of use.. and keeping it with me would be practically useless once i've S-OFF'd the device.. So, if everyone was willing to share and S-OFF their phones, we could actually share this device.. like.. i could use it.. and pass it on to a friend who wants t here for a bit lower price than the price spent by me.. and that friend could pass it on.. and on.. this could be really helpful.. That way, all we do is spend a very small amount for s-off ing our devices and at the same time, help the others here at XDA too.. right ??
why not guys ??
If everyone agrees t this idea of mine, i wouldn't mind posting a full detailed guide to using the XTC clip for the newbies ..
Pls leave in your comments here.. i wish we could make this happen and help eachther
i am interested, iam from chennai.... by the way where u are ordering from? price?

i ordered it from bangalore.. cost me 2000INR + 100INR(courier charges) which is approx 30EUR where they officially sell it for35EUR..
I could pass it on to you for a lower price.. and you too could pass it on to some one here itself too..
yes will do that, but did u checked if it is original, coz there are many duplicate devices being sold here.

Set your superCID to 111111 also, if it didn't change by default (it should though). Just do a double check.

XTC Clip in Tyne and Wear
I hate to post in a slightly old thread, but I feel it's more relevant than starting one myself:
I've been searching around Tyne and Wear for shops or people that might know shops that have an XTC Clip. The few places I've tried have no idea what one is, but still tried offering a SIM-unlock.
Would anyone here happen to know of anywhere in this area (most specifically Newcastle-Upon-Tyne/Gateshead/South Shields/Sunderland) that has a Clip, or possibly another XDA-Developers member with one that I could offer a payment in person to?

Hi
This is my first thread yay! I was reading myself into rooting and stuff because some of my colleagues also rooted their samsungs.
Now i have a CHACHA and i was curious for CM7, but i find out it is not released for my phone (yet)?
Is there some topic where i can follow the development of CM7 for HTC CHACHA? Will it ever come or not?
Another thing, it seems i need the XTC clip for S-OFF my phone, any stores in holland known that sells those clips? Else can i buy it from someone since i think 50 euro's for unlocking a phone is a bit much.
is already a version for chachacha CM7?
I don't believe there is CM7 for HTC CHACHA. I am wondering if there will be a CM7.
Can someone update me if people are busy on it? Maybe the phone is not interesting enough?
Please let met know, i cant seem to find it.
Care to use the search-function?

Don't pay 50, not more than 15. Actually there is no other way to make s-off(and routing)
Look for a local forum (in Holland) treating with HTC products. For sure there you will find a topic speaking about xtc clip in your country. Or.. use Google.

Ok selling my phone to Mikevhl so he can develope for the HTC ChaCha, i will buy a new HTC ChaCha no problem
Just had a chat with Mikevhl, and he told me he is not gonna buy my ChaCha, that means he is not developing CM7 for the ChaCha, due to not enough interest if i am right.

I'm not sure this is true... he said he already bought a XTC Clip. I remember he saying that he would stop porting because someone was already doing, but the other guy said he didn't have time. Well, I hope Mikevhl is thinking in coming back
Sorry, i was a bit mistaken Mikevhl told me he stopped because he was low on cash (don't spend money if you don't have too) + other dev where working on htc chacha CM7 mod. Now i read that other dev stopped working on it so i pm-ed mike whatsup
Hey, bought a new Desire S and it's locked to Orange. "Lucky" me, there is a free method to unlock all HTCs but this one. I really don't wanna bother paying a cent when there's something that can be done to remove it like S-OFF, etc...Any ideas on how to get rid of it?
Thanks in advance
I've heard it's only possible with xtc clip, so you'll have to pay either way.

^^^ This ^^^ Either pay Orange to get the unlock code or use an XTC-Clip (pay a shop to do it, buy a clip, rent one) - there is no 'free' method on the DS.

Hey guys,
I am a HTC One S user from India CID - HTC__038. the biggest challenge for all of us is the problem of not having the RUU in order to feel the freedom of using the custom ROM we want. (OK not a lot of options out there!) but I feel it really cripples us a lot not having one. I have been in touch with Football and he say he can get the RUU but at a price.
This is the one he says can get - VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_hTC Asia India_2.15.720.150_Radio_16.22.20.03U_16.11.20.24_ M_release
The source is asking for 13 Euros + Paypal charges ~ 15 Euros I guess. Thats roughly a 1000 in INR.
If all of us can get together and pitch in, the cost will be peanuts (atleast compared to what we have paid for this phone). I guess none of us who managed to buy this phone are incapable of coming up with the full amount of the RUU, let alone a fraction of it.
So what say guys. Can we try and get this done. I need approvals and suggestions.
Thanks
I'm in.

Em I know I give you this idea but maybe wait a bit for a JB one when it comes which also gives you time to sort the money out.
JB update may take ages!

Thanx everyone for the support. But I had contacted HTC a while back and they said the JB will take some time to come out. 1st they need to sort out the bugs in the HOX JB release and then send out the S3 release or some BS like that. In short the lady on the line said do not expect a likely update atleast till next summer if not later. I mean India got the FOTA for 4.0.4 in November, a good 6 or so months after the S4 release worldwide. No point waiting for the JB just now. Also by the time JB is out and a custom ROM is released it will take a year at the least.
Anyways, this is just my 2 cents. Lets c whats the collective response.
I would help you guys but I don't have any money on PayPal, so this is just a small bump for you guys and good luck!
Buying the ROM.
Hey guys. I am being really generous and decided to buy it myself. I will open a paypal account and will be accepting donations into it if anyone wants to. Will post the details once i receive the RUU. Wish me luck that I dont screw it up.

HI GUYS
I BROKE MY DIGITIZER RECENTLY AND FIXED IT FOR JUST 600rs
500 DIGITIZER COST + 100 LABOR Charges
.. AND ONE WORD IT IS FLAWLESS ..
INITIALLY I WAS THINKING LIKE ACCORDING TO THE COST, THE QUALITY MIGHT DIFFER BUT ITS NOT THE CASE ...
THERE ARE ONLY TWO VARIANTS AVAILABLE
i) ORIGINAL (OG) U WILL GET THAT IN SERVICE CENTER'S AND FROM THE RETAILERS
and ii) COMPATIBLE , AVAILABLE IN LOCAL MARKETS
SO IF U ARE THINKING TO FIX YOUR MOBILE WITH "COMPATIBLE" TRY TO BARGAIN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.BECAUSE EVERY PENNY IS WORTHY....BUT I DIDN'T BARGAIN THOUGH BECAUSE I GOT IT FOR JUST 500
PS: THIS THREAD IS JUST TO MAKE U AWARE OF THE FACTOR AND TO GET THE BENEFIT

See these two links and clarify me which is the one i need to replace, bcoz i am completely confused on what i really need to replace and what i need to ask

dont get confused bro... u have broken ur Digitizer and u have to ask for "a110 Digitizer" simple as tht
The "Digitizer" on a touch-screen phone is the layer above the LCD glass that senses your touch
for ur understanding this is the back side part of my old broken digitizer with a IC and cable(connector) on the top,which s visible in this pic.....
so if there is no cable thn it is not digitizer
posting here bcz i couldn able to insert the image in PM

Hi, @revanth22
One final question. Look at my photos and give me a reply,as the shop person is saying I dont need to replace the digitizer. Only the glass lens.
I once again would like to say that my touch is very very fine all over the phone. Only a small crack on the glass. Looking for your immediate reply.
Thanks And cheers

I order stuff all the time from aliexpress. I own a little repair shop and we order both parts and accessories through the site. It's basically a Chinese Amazon. Tons of different vendors. Luckily, the couple issues we had with the wrong orders or what not have been taken care of as quickly as possible.
