Hi! Is there any way to make our desire s simfree ?
Yes, there is.
XTC Clip s-off, sim-unlock, SuperCID (11111111) your device.
You will have fully unlocked and free device, but you haven't a chance to recover your warranty after that.
thank you this is I wanted to know

I want to S-OFF my Desire S. This means I will have to downgrade the HBOOT, as mine isn't supported. (maybe because it's a Vodafone branded one)
After downgrading the HBOOT and S-OFFing it, will the phone still be locked to Vodafone only? or will it be open to any U.K carrier?
Sorry for the noob question, but I'm relatively new to this.
Hi, will be revolutionary team work on the update? Or is some other easy way how to make the S-OFF?
HTC Desire S
S-ON
HBOOT 2.00.0002
See the thread to downgrade hboot. Then it will be easier

Yes, but if I want downgrade HBOOT, I must break my warranty with official HTCDev tool. I don't want break warranty. Is other way? Will revolutionary work on new version?
Revolutionary wont work unless you downgrade (for now)....
Revolutionary will break warranty aswell...

If you want to S-off in the first place, you lose warranty.
If you don't want to lose warranty, why bother trying to S-off?

yes, revolutionary break warranty, but is here a thread to S-ON and unroot. And if I break warranty with HTCDev.... they (HTC) know that my device was S-OFF.
I want try CUSTOM ROM but If my phone will be broken I want apply waranty service.
i found a way to downgrade without using HTCDEV Unlock
see Desire S General Forum, there is a howto!!!
A regular search at Google brings always the same answer to me:
for the Desire S it seems like the writecid command does not work.
I would like to change my Desire S's CID to the HTC one, to receive OTA updates in future.
Does anyone have an update on this topic ?
Thanks,
britannia
hmm, no answer so far...
so I assume that there is still no way to do it except maybe a XTC clip
Is it possible to alter the CID to something different than 11111111 using a XTC clip ?
Does anyone have detailed information how a XTC clip works or blu prints ?
Is it possible to un-root and S-On the DS after "XTC clipping" it ?
I'm fine with a stock ROM with HTC CID (for OTA updates). No need for S-OFF and root in my case.

Hi, I don't have detailed information about XTC Clip, but I had somewhere read, that is not possible S-ON after you use XTC Clip.
Same problem here m8,
with my Desire S s-off and rooted also weeks of searching and numerous attempts have failed. Its not looking so good to successfully install a different cid on the Desire s.
Can confirm xtc is one way process
See link in signature for xtc details

XTC clip is a hardware S-off... Just like ben_pyett said, it's a one way road... virtually anything done with an XTC Clip is permanent (unless you have access to a jtag - but let's not go there)
Hello,
I got my Desire S today and it has hboot 2.00.002 on it.
I want to know now, whats the best way to S-OFF my phone.
Using an XTC clip or going through the procedure of downgrading hboot and S-OFF with Revolutionary?
According to XTC clip I got some questions, will it fully s-off my phone so I can write every Radio or hboot on it?
EDIT: After a lot reading I recommend everybody to use the first option and wait till HTC drops the support of the Desire S

do more research and you'll be able to decide yourself.
My questions are based on my research and as I understand the XTC clip S-OFF are permanent and your can access and flash everything, am I right?
Both XTC and downgrade gives you full S-OFF
With XTC you can't go back to S-ON for warranty.
With downgrade method you can flash an eng hboot and get back to S-ON in case you need warranty
Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!
Ok thank you, I think I'll downgrade now, should I take the oldest RUU for my unbranded european Desire S or do I have to look on a specific Radio Version?
EDIT: Took the REALLY oldest and everything worked.
Hello. I'd like to know the required steps to convert a carrier branded and customized ChaCha to a stock one.
I know it is not just "flash another rom". I flashed the stock spanish rom in the spanish orange chacha and the keyboard layout is different.
Also, the apps that tells info about the device still show orange related stuff.
Does the CID relate to this??
Thanks all.

Saludos y cerveza.
Required steps to achieve this would be to firstly gain S-OFF, then obtain SuperCID. Once SuperCID '11111111' is written, you are able to flash any official RUU, including the non-branded generic ones such as WWE.
Looks like obtaining S-OFF is only done with the XTC Clip (hardware box) at this stage, although I'm unsure if the HTCDev unlock for the ChaCha will allow you to alter CID (I'd be highly surprised).
Changing CID is a few simple fastboot commands, but won't work until S-OFF is achieved.
Do you have access to an XTC Clip at all?
You could give it a shot at a GSM service/shop around your area. They usually have XTC Clips and an S-OFF is about 9-10 euros. He'll set SuperCID automatically.

If I S-OFF my ChaCha, it will stay that status for ever and ever, won't it?
Can I put *ANY* CID once the ChaCha is S-OFF'ed? Even the original one?
Thanks.

You can happily reset your CID at any time, to any carrier

Thanks. I contacted one of the local 'liberadores' (unlockers) and I'm waiting for its answer.
