<obsolete now> my opinion about getting XTC Clip JUST ONLY to get S-OFF for IS ASAP

Hi,

I'm writing this, because I get the feeling some of us are considering buying the XTC Clip JUST because they want to get S-OFF asap (like me ;) ).

Fist I must say that I don't want to shed a bad light on this tool.

I really think that it's definitely a great product!

It does support many / all* (*by future updates) HTC phones and provides "hardware" s-off + unlock.

However, for the clip to work with a newer device such as the Incredible S, the XTC Clip needs to first get an update that supports this specific model.

That's another plus for the XTC Clip, since support for it seems to be great.

They release frequent updates for newer phones and HBOOT versions, which come for free and having read a bit in the official forums it seems to me that they really care about their customers in that if there are problems, they help you out and even help you if you got problems with some shops where you bought the item.

BUT, and that's only my point of view, which might prove to be wrong, I really got the feeling by now, that the XTC Clip update for our IS won't be publicly available BEFORE there's another method for getting our device S-OFF.

I came to that conclusion when I read posts with some explanations for why the update hasn't been released yet.

Raskal says it depends on the market situation and also mentions he probably won't release it before someone else (competing products) does.

So these products, the XTC Clip and the "others", are widely used for sim unlocking the phones.

But those competing products are not able to do the same "hardware" S-OFF which only the XTC Clip is capable of.

They can only do it when there's a software hack available.

Also when you take a look at the update history of the XTC Clip for android phones, you'll see that new devices were added only AFTER there was a "software" S-OFF hack released.

For example the HTC Glacier and the Ace were both added at the very end of December, while it was possible to s-off both of them since early November.

The HTC Espresso was able to get s-off since December, while the update for the XTC Clip was released in January.

While it seems that totally NEW models are added only after another method to get S-OFF has been discovered, there are also (later) HBOOT versions of some devices, which are still impossible to S-OFF while the XTC Clip can do it!

An example is the HTC Legend, where the XTC Clip is capable to s-off even hboot 1.1.

I really hope that I'm wrong, but I have cancelled my order and I'll definitely wait and not buy the Clip until an update is released that supports the Incredible S and even then I'll buy it ONLY IF by that time there's still no software s-off hack released.

After all I'm not interested in sim unlocking or selling any services based upon that device. But that's just me.
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
Nice opinion, But i have a question. If u get a software s-off from some1 like unrevoked, what exactly is the need to buy an xtc clip. Idon need a sim unlock. My fone never had one. So only reason i would buy one is for s-off, which i cant do anyway cuz im only 15.

Btw, a little off topic. If i open my brand new, sealed and untouched IS package box, and i find that is does not have a sim lock, does this mean it might not be s-on ? How can i check?
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
XTC Clip can do much more than just S-OFF your phone. For example debrand, sim unlock and when there are newer HBOOT versions released which can't be S-OFFed it seems likely XTC Clip will be able to do it.

S-OFF and sim unlock are different things.

If you bought your phone in a retail store and didn't get it from your carrier provider it's not sim locked.

If you got it from your carrier provider I don't know how to check if it's sim locked other than inserting a sim card from another provider and check.

But maybe it's also possible to check somewhere in the bootloader/fastboot, I don't know..
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
Hmmm... I see ... Do you kno how to open the bootloader ? Something like power button + volume up ... I want to see what it says ... Maybe mine is unlocked like that dude over at the other thread ... I wanna check ...

EDIT : nvr mind ... Saw ur answer on the other thread... Thnx bro ... Ill check now ...
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
Don`t bother with XTC CLIP guys !!!

I bought it just recently and it WON`T work with INC S !!!!! The reason being the seller does not feel like releasing the unlock yet........ eventhough we paid a fee to purchase it.....

I repeat , I have the INC S and I bought the XTC Clip for unlocking the INC S, but it will NOT work, so don`t waste your money like I did ........

Any can PM me and I can show you the proof why it`s not working !!!!
[HTC Incredible S] knightrocker:
Can some1 clear somethn up for me? Is s-on what we call nand lock?
[HTC Incredible S] androf:
yes...........
[HTC Incredible S] ab65:
I think it's because the cat and mouse game played

mabey raskal won't put his cards to early on the desk

just to prevent htc from taking countermeasure in a early stage.

and I say the clip is a killer so be patient and relax
[HTC Incredible S] sammy98:
Where did you read, that the xtc-clip can get you s-off on Incredible S?

Was it promised? No. So dont buy it and complain it cannot do it.

I certainly wont buy a car and complain that it cannot fly ...

Sammy98
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Of course it WILL work! It already does, it's just a matter of time.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
BTW: when I'm not mistaken the Wildfire can't be software S-OFFed anymore since the new update, but XTC Clip can ;)

So also if it's not the real purpose of this great tool, for people like me who would just use it to S-OFF their phones, it might still prove useful when newer HBOOT versions get released
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
If you read the forums the owner of XTC CLIP published everywhere his XTC CLIP can succesfully turn Inc S, S-OFF.....since mid March.....

I am fed up with this issue ....anyway

As of yet , XTC CLIP is NOT working, how I know it ? because I own one.

Yes for sure it will work sometime, but when that time comes I will be already using my HTC Sensation or HTC Evo 3D or both ..... :)
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
How you know it works ? Do you have one ? Nope , so you just assume it works because Raskal tells you guys it works.

Secondly, if it`s really working , it`s a matter of time for you guys because , Raskal asked you guys to PUBLISH and UPLOAD 50 NEW videos of XTC CLIP unlocking otherwise he threated you all he will NOT release the unlock .

Well I am not like some people and will never suck up to somebody especially if I already paid for something, we`re not getting this XTC CLIP for free, we paid for it so why need to suck up and upload 50 new videos ....

As I said, ofcourse XTC CLIP will work sometime , but that time there will be also other methods to S-OFF the Inc S ...
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
That's simply not true at all!! Where did he ever say that? He just offered to release the update immediately i.e. "sooner" if people worked together and make some videos for the support forum.

He never said that he will only release it if/when there are 50 new videos.

Quite the opposite is true. He promised to release the update (multiple times). And that was regardless if there will be 50 new videos or not.

50 movies sounds a bit much, but it isn't. Just imagine those customers running shops, or at least using the Clip commercially (most of them are). It's easy for them to make some movies as they get a hold of many mobiles + it doesn't take much time.

However he will release the update anyhow.

Now he's talking about 2days to 2 weeks for the update to be released together with a new product launch.
[HTC Incredible S] doublecheese:
Look my friend , you sound like a young and passionate guy and please learn some facts of life from us, more experinced guys.

1) You should never ever believe what you hear from other people and announce it as REAL without verying it !!!!!! This is one of the biggest mistakes made in the business life.

You are saying: He that, He this, He said, He will, He would have, He might

As you can see those are not CERTAIN because you hear from somebody in this virtual world wide web , but what I am saying is CERTAIN,

because I own one and it`s not working as of yet !!!

So people should not waste this money hoping one day , you guys will publish new 50 videos in Youtube so that he will release the S-OFF for the INC S, ......

The guy is clever as I told you in the other forum link and this link , he knows it`s not easy to upload 50 brand new videos on Youtube and etc because :

On the XTC Clip Users manual it says that.....

The XTC CLIP can NOT be used if :

- that the phone is ROOTED,

- that the phone has a COOKED ROM

- that the phone has NOT it's original RADIO.

- the phone is connected to computer via usb cable

Can you tell me who would have a phone that fits outside of this category , therefore the 50 new videos will never be completed !!! You need Virgin phones for this XTC Clip to work...... Somebody said , if you flash everything back to it`s original state, it will work, OK, who`d spend time to flash back to original of his phone and take a video for the XTC CLIP ?

Ok you`re a snowboarder and you goto your nearest car dealer and buy yourself a brand new 4x4 SUV to drive you to the mountains., when you drive the car to the mountains, you realise that this car is only 4x2 , then goto your dealer and ask him WTF ? What would you do if the seller says , sorry, producer decided to NOT add the 4x4 into this car although this car is a SUV and mentioned 4x4, and the producer will add 4x4 sometime, so just go and post NEW videos of this car in Youtube and if producer get enough videos uploaded then we will add the 4x4 into the car.

Also do not forget that , it`s me who pushed him to release the S-OFF for the INC S, if it wasn`t me, you all would be still asking, "Dear Your Highness, Sir, Master Raskal, when will you release the INC S , S OFF" I am the only reason he is pushed and then he said that he has a new idea , why don`t you guys publish 50 news videos for me.

The seller himself announced in many forums that his XTC CLIP can succesfully S-OFF the Inc S but in reality it does not , ue to seller not releasing the unlock as of yet for an unknon reason to us.....

Same story .....

That`s the reason I am pissed , I don`t want to talk about this subject , this is probably my last message on this topic , unless somebody pushes me to into replying.. People should learn from their mistakes and move on !!!
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
I will do my best to learn of your wisdom ;)

But in the meanwhile:

Take a look at the Update log for the XTC Clip. It was exactly the same each time a new smartphone was released.

Most of the time a (s-off) hack was discovered FIRST and soon after that, the update was released.

Why do you think it will be different this time and there won't be an update?
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
a) First and foremost, this really has nothing to do with development, it belongs in the general forum.

b) The XTC clip does not unlock the Incredible S because is not yet supported. It may be supported in a future update.

Arguing about it won't help but using a device to bypass the log certainly doesn't belong in the dev forum.
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
Do a nandroid, flash with an official rom, use the clip, apply update.zip to get into clockwork, nandroid, done;

However, from your side of view, you wouldn't need the Clip anyway when you already got root ;)
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
You are right of course, sorry.

If someone could move the thread into general, it would be nice ;)
[HTC Incredible S] madmaxx82:
You need "virgin" phones?

Okay, that's it for me, won't post in this thread again.
[Defy General] ilsio9:
Hi guys! I am new here and my english aren't the best. Sorry.

I have 3.4.2-145 installed on my defy, and I have a battery problem. The truth is that with all previous firmwares/roms installed, I wad the same problem.

My battery can last 3-4 days with normal use, but all of a sudden may last 4-5 hours only. An this situation will stand for days.. The first 2 times it happend to me, I flashed my phone to newer version. Now, I have 1 day that my phone has tha same problem of battery drain, afters 3-4 weeks of absolutely normal battery behavior.During battery draining, battery's temperature is a lot higher than usual.

Last thing I remember before last draining, is that the last charge of the battery wasn't full charge, but about 90%. Nothing more...

Any help?

Thank you very much
[Defy General] ziffos:
My son had same problem with his Defy and he found simple answer was to uninstall App Killer. After that his battery is back to nearly 2 days between charges (he is a medium user). Dont know if you have app killer installed however the uninstall worked for my son.

P.S. My Defy lasts 24 hours between charges and yet I am a light user.

It seems to be that the standard Motorola batteries are quite varied in their performance.
[Defy General] ilsio9:
I dont use a custom app killer, but the build-in app killer(2 minutes afters screen off etc) of the froyo rom I have.

Do you think that I have to remove auto-killing of all apps in build-in task killer?
[Defy General] bokeron2020:
I'm not so sure the battery itself is to blame.

I've recently found what I believe is a bug that eats battery while the phone should be sleeping. Apparently it also exists on other android phones, though I don't know if it's the same issue or not.

I've posted a thread at the motorola forums... and maybe this could be affecting you too, or not :)

Bug affecting many brands and models, at code.google.com
[Defy General] unrafa:
Software have bugs and sometimes a program can make 99% CPU putting the phone to max speed while screen is off. You'll have to use OSMonitor or similar programs to track down the responsible one.
[Defy General] ilsio9:
you think it's software problem? My problem is if it is a hardware bug...
[Defy General] ilsio9:
I flashed it again, but the problem it's still there... I am getting sure it's about hardware....

Going from a 8gb speed 6 to a 16gb speed 10 v soon.

I've got LeeDroid 2.2.2.

With regards to porting everything across is it simply copy everything from old SD to new SD?

1) copy data into pc

2) put new SD in phone and let it install std files.

3) copy everything from old SD to new SD. Finished?

Do I need to do the ext partitioning thing again? If there is a guide it would be great if you can copy link, thanks!
