At the time, unlocking and S-Off is only possible with an xtc-clip

If you do that, i would check if the radio-version matches, else you could have problems with wifi oder gsm
At the moment I have:
Android 2.3.3 on O2
Software Number: 1.19.206.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.10-g8db500e
Baseband Version: 47.14.35.3030H_7.47.35.17
got a stock rom which is:
Software Number: 1.13.401.1
Baseband Version: 47.14.35.3030_7.47.35.17
So radio does seem to be the same.. I am using the downgrade method..
when I boot with volume down and power button, it loads the PH60IMG.zip (blue bar) and then goes to the checks PH60IMG.zip (golden bar) and then it turns back to the bootloader start screen and nothing happens..
please share you experiences, Im sure Im going somewhere wrong..
please advise guys..

Unlocking is possible by using an unlock code. I purchased the code, and now use a t-mobile sim.

Is SIM lock = S-ON?
I think they are two separate locks.
SIM lock for not use another Network, and S-ON is not change Android software, Am I right?
@rangercaptain
Is your mobile originally S-ON or S-OFF?

SIM lock != S-ON (not equals)
And yes, those are two different locks. It does not matter if you have a S-ON/S-OFF phone, you can still unlock it via special network codes that cost money which do not require a S-OFF phone.
If you don't want to pay, you must S-OFF your phone and perform some hacks to unlock SIM.

How can i do some hacks? Can you explain me more please?
Thanks.
Hello,
I may be wrong, but since the ChaCha has no eMMC chip, the only remaining protection is left in HTC's kernel. So with temproot one could load a kernel driver to disable this protection, and then proceed to reflash the recovery.

Hi Alex,
Would it be possible to post where there are instructions to perform these hacks to SIM unlock the device?
Thankfully HTCDev have released the Unlock for S-Off.
Kind regards,

Since when? HTCDev released the unlocking bootloader patch and not the S-OFF. Normally S-OFF will set your CID to SuperCID, which is 111111; this means that your device is worldwide and restrictions are lifted.
Ahh man, I understood the unlocked bootloader was to S-OFF the device.
My appologies.
Look i found web site with free sim unlock key generator for mostly all HTC devices http://simlockcalculators.com/htc-free-unlock-codes-calculator/
Its looks like its really working and its tottaly free by looking comments but i never tested it myself because i got sensation already sim lock free but im about to buy a ChaCha with provider lock, só as its tottaly free,i undestand you need to complete a survey to get the program, if sdome 1 get dnload link of his app please share, would be great, or reshare gate on some g s, as im using ne right now, cant do a survey.
Cheers
does unlocking sensation void the contract or do anything?
if i unlock my sensation will it be locked again if i put a sim card in?
Lol sim unlock or bootloader unlock. Bootloader unlock voids it, sim unlock is usually done through a method requiring root. If you really want to sim unlock, you might have to go all the way and s-off, then go to this thread and follow the instructions there.

SIM Unlock voids your contract.
Bootloader unlock voids your software warranty.
hey, guys
is there any way to unlock a chacha without unlock codes or that xtc clip?
for samsungs all you need is to change the rom, but for chacha i couldn't do it.
is there maybe something in the kernel?
i've tried codes but they don't work, and i don't want to pay 50 euros to vodafone to get it unlocked...
I've just rooted an HTC DESIRE S, but I'm trying to unlock the SIM and am getting no unlock prompt.
I'm in the UK and the phone is tied to Vodafone, but I have tried both a Virgin and O2 sim, and there is still no prompt to unlock.
Does anyone have any ideas as the best way to go about this. Thanks.
use the XTC clip to sim unlock

I have my unlock code for my HTC sensation 4g (T-Mobile), but when I boot my phone with a different sim card, I cannot access the "unlock code" screen to put the unlock code in. Is there any way to access the sim-unlock screen?
I have CyanogenMod 10.1 (albinoman's) firmware 3.33
Thanks in advance!
