I got the same replay, but then

" Dear Sergei,

Unfortunately old devices will not be unlocked this open boot loader policy is only for future releases, if you open the boot loader. It will invalidate your warranty still.

I hope that this information meets with your requirements, should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again.

[Wildfire General] imlgl:
hehe. Glad HTC sent me a wildfire S as a replacement because their unlocking the bootloader on the newer devices :D
[Wildfire General] lance36:
how di you get a wildfire S as "a replacement" ?

[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
Tickle me curious... how?
[Wildfire General] imlgl:
I think it was because they failed to fix it twice. Then they lost it the 3rd time when they were meant to replace it for 4 weeks. Took 5 weeks for a replacement so I guess I got a wildfire S as a sorry gift.

Even better that it has only been out about a week in the UK :)
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Who says its only Android that is fragmented? A look at all the replies by HTC CC shows it. :rolleyes:
[Wildfire General] patently:
Well I guess that means we either find xtc clips or we move on to other, (preferably) non-htc phones.
[Wildfire General] thestory101:
cccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
[Wildfire General] lokeshramesh:
I was knowing this would happen the main reason behind this is network locked phones. If any1 gets the bootloader s-off they can easily flash radio and unlock the network and can use any sim card..
[Wildfire General] vax:
I got the same first answer. I replied it didn't answer my question and I got the following answer:
[Wildfire General] moochermick:
I've been using a htc phone for the past six years, my wildfire was locked without my knowledge or permission and if it is not going to be unlocked it will be the last htc I buy.

Sent from the last htc phone I'll own using XDA App
[Wildfire General] imlgl:
The old devices will not be unlocked I think. Only the newer devices will be such as the wildfire S etc.
[Wildfire General] Dethox:
I think it's too much of a pain to unlock the bootloaders on the old devices as well, and I don't blame them, it's only a waste of more time and money.

If you want an unlocked htc then replace your old one with a newer and better phone....if you are too greedy for that, then use unrevoked.

That's the way it's always going to be, no need to blame the company for that. You would all do the same when it comes to more expenses.

Peace
[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
Lol. I stopped reading here.
[Wildfire General] imlgl:
I got an upgrade for free haha. Also I got another UPS package today from HTC. Looked inside and i have another wildfire haha.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jamespaulritter:
Ringke is a flexible thin 1 piece case from Rearth selling for $16.99 http://www.rearthusa.com/HTC-Inspire-4G_p_155.html

PRO's

1) Thin

2) Well made

3) Easy to take on and off but does not come off accidentally.

4) Does not interfere with screen, ports, speaker, flash, camera, or buttons, (kinda).

5) Fells good in the hand, not a lint grabber but not slippery either.

6) Protects from scuffs and drops

7) Looks good

8) Its easy to locate and push the volume and power buttons right through the case.

CON's

1) The back camera cutout is not raised enough to protect the Inspire's protruding camera.

2) The cutout for the for the ear speaker has a piece that gets in the way of pulling down the Android notification window. And there is no cutout for the noise cancellation mic on the back.

3) The case is a little to flexible and occasionally the edges near the screen are popped out a bit caught on the edge of the phone.

TPU case http://cgi.ebay.com/White-TPU-Gel-S...593760?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a10ecff60

PRO's

1) The case is a bit stiff so I think it will protect it really well from drops.

2) The case looks great and is well made.

3) It does not interfere with the screen, camera, speakers, ports or buttons.

4) The case feels great in the hand, kinda grippy but doesn't grab fuzzies.

5) Its thin

CON's

1) It is hard to locate and push buttons through the case unless you are visually looking at the button.

2) The rear camera port is also not raised enough to protect the finish around the camera lens. So I put some egrips around the lens to bulge the case out enough to protect the phone.

So neither is a winner but hey for 2 bucks and free shipping the TPU is good for now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] LaGeek:
One more option is this case:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130525615407#ht_2562wt_1141

I bought this combo. Didnt need the car charger, but the case and the protector were worth it for the money, car charger is a nice handy backup:d

I prefer List View for viewing my applications, but after every phone reboot it defaults back to Grid View. Is this normal behavior or is there a way to set it by default to List View.
[HD2 General] alltome:
Hi @ all,

i want to know if anyone think that it will be possible to get ios working on our hd2, or is someone working on it?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
never gonna happen.
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
It is possible, "anything is possible", but in this case it's not even near possible, so it's impossible. Since, well, Apple is never going to release the source code.
[HD2 General] rauschkugl:
not again!

no this will never happen because of different reasons like no available source codes, apple itself and various others.

and please. not the same thread every week. use search funtion!
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
YES ! my friend...indeed iOS is 100000% possible on our HD2

Infact in one of the videos from DFT showing off Windows Phone 7 NODO on HD2...they accidentally showed us iOS running on the HD2......:cool::cool:

look in the screenshot....

DFT is working on iOS !! :cool::cool:
[HD2 General] aks777:
^^^--HOLY !!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
Hahaha.... nice hoax... :D
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
yo...that is sooo real !!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::cool::cool::cool:
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
No way to really know for sure but that is more than likely just a HD2 running a MIUI ROM. From what I can see in the screen shot it really looks like that is the case.

Plus if the DFT was working on one it would probably just be for thier personal use. Cause if they released it Apply would be sue and copyright infringement happy with court cases, and probably bring legal action against them. Remember iOS is not open sourc what so ever and Apply has not released any of it's source code or drivers. So there would be some serious legal lines being crossed by doing this.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Steve Stiffler:
Hello Everyone,

This is no secret that motorola has douched us up with a laggy n not upto the mark update and as we see no sign of any further updates for our milestone.I was thinking that it's time that I switch to custom roms..after doing a bit research on how to do it..I am through with rooting my phone, and now m thinking of going to next step i.e. installing the custom ROM..I need some help -

1)Is there a way to back up the current ROM (i.e. Default ROM) ??

2)Any software or trick that can backup all the contacts ,settings and everything to the sd card...

3)I have read at many places that after you install some ROMS you can't connect to the service provider so you have to take back up of baseband and things like that??how to do that??

4)Please can you suggest some good ROMS that are fast,stable and bug free but the problem m facing with the updated stock f/w is that my phone restarts twice n is hellishly sluggish..?!?

The icons keep loading times and again..M ready to experiment as long as it's safe to install that ROM..Please help me out..

Give your ratings on the ROMS by telling -

Name of the ROM-

Speed-

Stability-

User Interface-

BUGs found-

Positive points(why do you recommend the ROM-

Looking forward for help from everyone ..

choose the multilanguage version

try this rom .. its the best as of nw for me .. best ratio between battery life n performance n luk n feel ..

ne other questions plz ask after thanking :P
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Backing up current ROM -> Nandroid backup I believe

Contacts -> Synched with Google account, the rest use Titanium Backup

Baseband -> Install OpenRecovery and there will be an option to change the baseband

ROM-wise, our Milestones will always work very well with Froyo compared to Gingerbread. If you wish, FroyoMOD is the best Froyo ROM out there. For Gingerbread, I suggest iceandfire.

There is a sticky in the Milestone development forum, it has everything you need to know about flashing OR, Custom ROMs, etc.

Hope that helps.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Steve Stiffler:
Yea MIUI I have heard a lot about but are all features of the phone working with the latest version ??And does this reboot frequently??Plz tell me about your usage ??

I'll definitely looking forward to try this...

Yea I read that sticky now..but every sticky is scary what are the odds of bricking the phone..??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
no reboot for me yet in 10 days with the latest miui .. battery is good .. when i go to sleep say 8-9 hrs i lose only 10% .. so thts good for a GB rom .. interface is little different so u can enjoy tht ..

my calls usage is abt 4-5 hrs in a day n say 30 mins of whatsapp usage .. gmail sync is on .. play little angry birds rio .. so it lasts a day ..

another update is coming i guess in few days which will improve the performance further ..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
If you read the stickies, the odds of you bricking your phone are fairly rare. And even at that, most phones are easy to revert.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Steve Stiffler:
okay ROM manager is not working with my phone..how do i uninstall clockwork mod??:confused:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Okay, ROM Manager does NOT work on Milestone. What you want to do is flash the vulnerable recovery from this site: http://android.doshaska.net/rootable depending on your bootloader version. To see which one you have you need to go into bootloader mode (power button and d-pad up), it will show you the bootloader version and then you will know which sbf you need. You need to flash this via RSD Lite.

ROM: Cronos Ginger ver.1.4

Overclock settings: 900MHz @ 56vsel

VM heap size: 32M

Launcher: LauncherPro ver.0.8.3

Why do I recommend this ROM?

Watch for yourself how snappy it is:

I am also able to play CPU and memory intensive games like Modern Combat 2 (see video below)

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Steve Stiffler:
Tell me about the battery life,hanging or restarting frequencies(how many times does it restart)..??

Looks really great though...

I downloaded pretty much all the softwares..Please can you please tell me about these exceptions?? anyone

tell me about the 2nd exception..

Also I have un-installed the ROM manager so can I now directly flash Vulnerable recovery the sbf file??? or do I have to do some ritual before that...??

So it's promising tell me as you just loaded the rom did you do anything extra??as in activating mms or anything like that..or is the rom complete in itself??Also since you have overclocked the cpu so the phone must be running really hot??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] pcphobic:
No random reboots so far since I flashed Cronos ver.1.4 on 30th of May.

( The official website is at http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/ )

Cronos Ginger ver.1.4 - Overnight Battery Drain Test

I always perform the same benchmark test with any new ROM that I flash to gauge for myself how much battery it drains on idle/standby.

Condition:

Data Connection: 2G only

Google Contacts Sync: On

Google Calendar Sync: On

Gmail Sync: On

Talk: On

Result:

I have also tweaked it with Autokiller Memory Optimizer with the following settings:

Hidden app: 24

Content provider: 28

Empty app: 30
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Steve Stiffler:
I was trying to know that if u used the phone for like 4-5 hours talking 30-45 mins browsing or texting would the battery last more than a day???but does the battery hold after about 24-30 hours with no charging??? n with normal usage??

Oh and could you plz share the links the rom??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] pcphobic:
Usage differs with every individual. What is light usage for me might not be for you.

Best way is to test it yourself.

Just remember to make a Nandroid backup of your current ROM so that u can always restore back should u decide that u don't like a particular ROM.

Why don't you register at the forum so that u can post questions to the developer? Head over to http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=1794
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Steve Stiffler:
Soon enough m just learning I still have lot of unanswered questions on backing up perhaps you could help me with them :rolleyes:

Oh also You mind telling me that when you flashed this ROM did you have to do any other tweeks as gps not working or anything???
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
i remember being in ur position jus yesterday :P .. thnx to pcphobic n sileshn nw i knw everythin abt nandroid backups and app2ext .. thnx guys ..

n steve go ahead ask wht u wanna ask ..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Steve Stiffler:
These were my questions....

And to add..Tell me I had earlier rom manager with some recovery manager installed..I uninstalled the manager..So I assume that recovery manger also got uninstalled..SO do I directly flash the vulernerable recovery sbf file??? Or what??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Directly flashing the VR sbf will remove any recoveries you should have on your phone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
1. - cronos ginger has amazin battery life n is very snappy .. no reboots issue with it

This is the most comprehensive guide on how to get a custom ROM working on your phone.

I downloaded pretty much all the softwares..Please can you please tell me about these exceptions?? anyone "

what exceptions ???
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
Possible issues you may encounter:

1. If the RSD lite does not activate the Start button after you open the SBF file, you need to rename the SBF file to some simple short name, eg. recovery.sbf, and to put it to some simple short path, e.g C:\recovery.sbf (known Windows Vista / 7 issue).

2. "E:EOCD marker occurs after start of EOCD E:signature verification failed" error after you apply the update.zip in recovery means that you do not have the vulnerable recovery on your phone.

If you applied an OTA update before, there is a script run at every system boot that checks and re-flashes the recovery when its checksum doesn't match. In such case, you have to avoid booting to android after the vulnerable recovery flash. Boot directly to recovery when RSD Lite restarts the phone (hold camera button) and from there remove the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.

rm -f /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

A script for OpenRecovery is attached (install OpenRecovery and put the script to /sdcard/OpenRecovery/scripts before you flash the vulnerable recovery). Later in OpenRecovery, the first thing you should do is to run this script from the Run Script menu.

tell me about the 2nd exception..

Also I have un-installed the ROM manager so can I now directly flash Vulnerable recovery the sbf file??? or do I have to do some ritual before that...??

jus do the procedure of flashing the sbf u will b good to do .. the guide is perfect n steps r given in great depth

no i dint load nethin else .. its a complete rom u dnt even have to flash gapps ..

it is overclocked in the rom itself n it doesnt heat up for me ..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] knitterb:
A lot of folks already responded, but I wanted to suggest Cyanogenmod as another custom rom. Works well on my Droid 1.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
From start to finish, perhaps 15-20 minutes. For what it's worth, you can skip the inital google account setup to turn on WiFi and configure the phone. Just go into the market and it will prompt you all over again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Steve Stiffler:
Hey tell me which sbf file do I use to install open recovery I am from India running on stock ROM
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
It goes by which version your bootloader is. www.android.doshaska.net/rootable

One of those two then get the OpenRecovery from the sticky I linked.

Also the key mapping seems to be odd coz when I press Z , Y appears on the screen...and when I press Y Z appears :(

how do I fix these things..??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
For that you have to reselect the language in the language and keyboard settings, reboot the phone. The keyboard is in Qwertz not Qwerty so you need to change that in OpenRecovery Settings > Keyboard Layout.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Steve Stiffler:
this is what i get...

Ya Thanks for the hardware keyboard fix...But nothing seems to be working for the android keyboard
