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.

For further details on the XTC Clip then also see the Desire S related thread below:

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

now there is a software s-off method now
Wildfire s telstra
There is no software method for the Wildfire S sold by Telstra. XTC clip is still needed.

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

I am about to buy a HTC Sensation. However, my provider (Swisscom, Switzerland) offers it only with Branding. Is there a way I can flash such a branded device with the original ROM from HTC? Is it available anywhere? Will I have problems because of the signed bootloader? Thanks in advandace for any help!
Currently, the goldcard method doesn't seem to be working. That's the only way to flash an official ROM without having an unlocked bootloader.
So, currently, sadly no way to do it. Hopefully when HTC release an unlocked bootloader for it, we will see changes.

Do you know whether HTC is planning to do so at all? I heard they wanted to make future bootloaders unsigned, but will the Sensation get an "Update" or something like that to have it unsigned?
I asked HTC about how and when the bootloader will be unlocked and they just tweeted me back saying "Good question. More specific details will be shared soon."
So yeah... :/

Hello,
Got a HTC Sensation from Swisscom and I'm wondering the same, any news on this?
I tried an update found on the forum: version 1.35.401.1, tried to install and said 'wrong client id'... Didn't update.
Just sent a request to HTC customer support to know if I'll get the OTA... But I don't expect much from this.
If I can't unlock and root this phone I'm gonna get rid of it and will never get a HTC again, that's one sure thing. Already regret having bought it, should have waited for it to be unlocked first!

You'll have to wait for HTC to unlock the bootloader (or for AlphaRev to do that before HTC). Expect HTC do provide the full unlock in September.
PS. I bought it unbranded meanwhile.
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!

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?????

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...._

Hi everyone!
Just bought a new HTC One SV which is branded by Vodafone Spain. I unlocked the phone by using an unlock code and now I want to install a stock ROM, either world or european ROM, but I can't seem to find anything for 4.2.2.
Would greatly appreciate any help!

The phone is branded by Vodafone and has tons of apps that I'll never even touch. Just want to put a stock ROM, without any other 3rd party apps. Moreover, after 4.2.2 was released for this model had to wait a bit over two months to get the update.

Its the same thing, unbranded phones, from my experience, do not contain a bunch of bloatware (unwanted apps) which normally comes from the company provider after given to them by HTC. If from HTC directly, its strictly what they produce and offer without the extras from other companies. I looked at @old.splatterhand index, and I see only two Roms available which are 4.2.2. Now whether they come with or without the bloatware I cannot say, as I have a K2_CL device. Though, I do believe that the 4.2.2 K2_UL does not contain any bloatware from going off the top of my head - because o have used it before in the past to adapt it for use on our K2 variant.
old.splatterhand, you are more familiar in this area than myself since I focus more on Boost and Cricket. Feel free to chime in and correct me where correction is due buddy.
Sent from my C525c using Tapatalk
We need to be more clear, what @Nihtilan exactly wants.
The 422 roms (k2u & k2ul) are both unbranded, no provider apps and something like this.
They can be flashed also S-On, but firmware files are also needed to flash, if the device wasn't on 422 already.
Or the other way is a completely unbrand:
S-Off -> SuperCID -> hboot downgrade -> EU unbranded RUU.

Thanks for the reply, and yea, I didn't bother to include the firmware info because he had already mentioned that he received the 4.2.2 update even though it took him a while to get it. I figured it would had been too much info and probably would have caused some confusion. I appreciate the timely response.

That's exactly what I want to do.
I would like to put either a 4.2.2 World or Europe unbranded RUU.
How do I do that? Is it possible without S-OFF?
PS: Apologies for the late reply.
LE: I remember when I had a Wildfire S, when I unbranded the phone I just had to create a gold card and put the RUU on it and it was very easy. I reckon things have changed a bit in the meantime..
So thats the way to go: S-Off -> SuperCID -> hboot downgrade -> EU unbranded RUU.
And no chance without S-Off.
Use the search (inside the HTC ONE SV Forum) with the words "hboot downgrade". There should be many results that describe the way more detailed.
This might be a noob question, but what's the difference between K2_U, K2_UL, etc.? Also, could you please direct me to some threads? Had a look through quite a few and I'm not really sure where to start.
Thank you.
LE: Ok, did a bit of research and my phone is K2_U. Also, I couldn't find S-OFF for 4.2.2.
Get S-Off with http://rumrunner.us (Universal version).
Get SuperCid with fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Go to this thread, read and follow the instructions there.
All done!
Thank you very much for your help!
You're welcome.
Glad, that it worked for you.
Hello everybody on my first post in xda, i need your help, it is why i am here, i have a Htc One X of 16GB but with tegra 3, don't have Lte and it say that is from europe in the hardware info (Have HTC logo, don¡t company logo or at&t logo)(yoigo get that one to me, is free sim) and then i don't know if that one is at&t, evita, if is the XL, or simply one x international, i am just now
i was searching for how to root that one (and if possible flash that one) yesterday and today, i have linux installed, ubuntu 13.10, and all what i try to do fail or didn't work. (believe me, i read a long number of post and download a long number of files and try some different methods typing on the console.
I need your help to root my phone, i will accept to unlock bootloader, to edit hex, to flash 20 files, to downgrade my phone, and to burn my face (preffer to don't do it) if neccesary.
How can i do it?
All possible util data from my device:
Resume (Fully updated with the official software)
USB Depuration mode: On.
Android 4.2.2
Sense 5
Software Version 4.18.401.2
Kernel 3.1.10-g7f360be
Compilation number 4.18.401.2 CL231174 (i was touch that 7 times then i am supposed developer)
Hboot 1.72
What is perfect to me?
My final purppose is flash cyanogenmod 10.2.1, if can't do want to simply get root access.
(Other possibility to me is flash that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2640571
(i am not noob (of all) i was rooted some devices and flash two devices and don't have problem to try the harder method if someone know how to do what i want to do)
THANKS for the helper and sorry if my english isn't perfect!!

You should have done some research before you installed the update, it patched the last exploit which means there's no way for you to unlock the bootloader or get root. You'll hav to wait and see IF a dev bothers to crack it on this device which is getting old now.

No. This is why you wait and read before ANY OTA or RUU

Any idea or suggestion to unlock the hotspot. I just need the hotspot unlocked I don't need to be root or superiser. I just need the hotspot unlocked, I have tried with Foxfi but it just allow to tether by usb. Any idea for this? Thank you
No you can't without unlocking the unlocking the bootloader and rooting. It's a fairly well established (and discussed) fact that official updates patch root exploits, that's why it pays to research before doing something like that.

If a dev has interest trying, he will find a way. But the thing is, most devs won't have interest. So sit tight and maybe send a bounty

You can't. If a dev wants to do it he will do it without any need for encouragement.

When its answered on here there is no method to unlock the bootloader, this includes downgrading. If there was a downgrade method, you would have been directed to that. Downgrading is not allowed on Android without root.

By buying a phone from a source other than your carrier, and also asking to mod the phone to work beyond its intended features (even though WiFi hotspot is intended to work on just about any carrier version except AT&T) you put yourself out of the category of "normal phone user" and it also means you have to do the proper research. Not knowing is no excuse.
