even if you just signed up you can use the search function :mad:

there are soo many threads on this forum about s-off & root

so many that i give this reply 2-3 times a day :mad:

but your answer is

to root your phone you need to s-off it first which can be done using a hardware device called xtc-clip

there will be software solution very soon
[HTC Desire S] Reddruc:
I can't wait for this, I just got the Desire S in Australia which means dreaded telstra software, the phone is super fast but the main menu runs very poorly. can't wait to remove all the bloatware

I don't think he was looking for an answer. He never asked one. So please don't show your madface unnecessarily. Thanks :)
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
@droid_star sorry about that didn't read what you said properly...its my fault...

it is just that i was angry about the number of people asking about s-off & root
[HTC Desire S] droid_star:
I think you misunderstood.

There are NO questions in my post, it is simply a comment.

I'm well aware and able to use the search function should I have question ;)
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
@droid_star - well said mate, too many wannabe mods around here.

Peace out.
[HTC Desire S] FRASEB1:
+1 alpharev x :)
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
well if no other takes action we need our wannabe mods :D

really there are 1-2 new threads each week how to root

if you delete all questions about rooting the ds forum only got 10 posts remaining! :D

Awaiting more info on this now.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Can you please upload this ROM so that it can be shared see thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002506

I'm sure that the Rom developers would live the opportunity to have a look at this, it seems to have a higher version number than any else previously seen, can you comment on any changes, differences?
[HTC Desire S] mtoliki:
I now look at the shared image. Date March 10, 2011. This is the date release or date by default after reset?Why do not you share a test "private" version? Many would like to try to remove the security.

Or, if you are communicating closely with the AlpharevX's team provide the date of the supporting Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] sympl:
Dont be too demanding. The test version is for testing purposes, as it may have many bugs & issues which the alpharev devs can fix. They made it private may be for the experienced devs in the community so that it is easier for them to report a problem and come out with a solution. Else their irc chat and this forum would be flooding with bug reports and people raging on their problems. In order to reduce all those hassle why not just wait a while more. After all they are doing it for you of no cost at all.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
March 10 is just a hboot date release. The actual post is dated June 23rd 2011.
[HTC Desire S] FRASEB1:
stop talking about, why do u not sharing this tool? It's a fake?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
it's not a fake and before tell him to stop talking about read what he wrote in bolt or stop talking yourself
[HTC Desire S] kmdm:
It's as fake as it is public. ;)
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
What I've post before...I hope it's not a false hope (fingers crossed)
[HTC Desire S] chockyT:
So happy about this :) finally get rid of this virgin mobile bloatware hopefully :)
[HTC Desire S] FRASEB1:
Ok, how can i root my desire S with it? mdr lol
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
once u have s-off u can use gingerbreak and it will stay after reboot

then install recovery with rom manager and flash flash flash :D
[HTC Desire S] atomicsoul:
See the link you provide for the beta, is this the public beta for the DS and could you please provide a working link.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
just one x too much in the link. but anyway - no version for Desire S:
[HTC Desire S] mtoliki:
If I'm not mistaken the whole operation is to disable the security is reduced to overwrite a few bytes in the loader. What could be the error?

Nevertheless, it was possible to lay out a test version as it is to glitches and errors likely to turn the phone into a brick.

Nevertheless, we will wait ... Sooner or later unlock should appear.
[HTC Desire S] RaiBinger:
Awesome!:)
[HTC Desire S] NexusCrazy:
That date never changed it was the same when it was S-ON. If I had It to share and had permission to share it I would but I don't have either. Sorry

Hopefully Alpharev will release soon ;)
[HTC Desire S] NexusCrazy:
lmfao

believe what you want,
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
Sick can't wait!
[HTC Desire S] MoneyFist:
You dumb ****.
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
have you had any problems since you s-off'd with alpharevX if not it could be much sooner that it goes public:D
[HTC Desire S] bingobadgo:
I have a Desire S coming in the next few days, tagged for updates.

Keep up the good work guys! Nice one.
[HTC Desire S] ronin-1:
Keep up the pace guys!! Nice indeed!
[HTC Desire S] dam2sekc:
yes, great work, def looking forward to actually getting a few things done with this phone, and a custom Rom is at the top of the list.
[HTC Desire S] troxter:
Every time I open this forum and see new posts in this thread I thinking - "yes, finally is released" But is only thank You, nice job, etc.

So, I am saying thank You too, great job, but when we can see "ready to eat" tool:)?
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
+1 for this... Me too everytime i see this thread i am expecting that they had released it.. haha.. i almost check 5-7 times a day and for that.. thank you and hope it will be released very very soon...
[HTC Desire S] sevag00:
I think if they release the software, they will definitely create a new thread.
[HTC Desire S] petreski:
Hi guys,

Not only you :)), I also checked several times a day for good news :). I hope soon to become reality :)
[HTC Desire S] click9666:
Great cheer for your work....I hope it will work fine.
[HTC Desire S] glf516:
still waiting.The rom for china has remove the software like market and gmail. I want to s-off my phone to root.
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
I'm still having doubts. DesireS & IncS has the same specs, why does it take too long to have it on our phone?

Just wondering...
[HTC Desire S] pandollar:
Me too, I guess if it doesn't come off then HTC have said they will provide a bootloader with S off at some point.
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
although they have same specs the hboot of the incs is different to desire S...
[HTC Desire S] NexusCrazy:
No, no problems at all, and believe me I've flashed ROM after ROM backed up, restored, run all the usual rooted apps and all is good.

Hopefully Alpharev will release soon.

What makes it better is that as far as I'm aware all Desire S's have same

hboot -0.98.0000
[HTC Desire S] atomicsoul:
Thanks!

Waiting patiently, I know it's a matter of time if not Alpharev am sure there's others in the works too.
[HTC Desire S] pandollar:
Arggggggggg! ****ing idiots at HTC, why the hell did they lock the bootloader, hope this was just a one of brain fart. I guess I was spoilt with my HD2.

Sorry, having a bad evening.
[HTC Desire S] GideonB234:
That's good news at least, I can root easy and fix this bloody wifi issue (and maybe get stock android on here instead)

After alpharevx comes out of course
[HTC Desire S] suiller:
I'm very impatient :D

the problem is that this device has a very high potential, without the crappy sense it could literally fly :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] superkid:

I'm very thankful for the efforts that are being made concerning the HTC Desire series.

[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
I there, I have a question about this oncoming tool :

It is said that it would would be reversible, where the XTC CLIP method is said as non reversible, so my question is, will it be possible to reverse an XTC CLIPed Desire S to S-ON using the AlpharevX tool ?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
Jacky: shortly - no
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
I think you can go back to S-ON state by flashing a RUU.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
If you're saying that you can turn a device made S-OFF using an XTC-Clip back to S-ON by flashing an RUU then No No No.

You can't full stop. S-OFF by XTC Clip is S-OFF forever.
[HTC Desire S] sieempi:
S-on after xtc clip can be achieved by running this on the phone, in a root shell: echo -e 'at@simlock=7,1\r' > /dev/smd0
[HTC Desire S] boyan.orion:
That might be true but we need more the root account access for now.

Personally I don't care much about the roms, I just want complete access to the operating system.
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
Ok thanks, so I'm going to need someone with an XTC Clip tomorrow in Paris ;)
[HTC Desire S] Varidott:

Don't waste Your time on waiting for this tool.... We even don't know possible release date. So, You can wait even until end of this year. Just buy Red pay&go xtc clip and s-off Your device. My will come today:)
[HTC Desire S] _mAgneT:
in shanghai i find a place to s-off my ds and it is free…
[HTC Desire S] ahanson86:
What I find interesting is it obviously works on the desire s. So why not add it to the beta and let people try it?
[HTC Desire S] hellbleazer:
Just remember if it's a "beta" there's more chances to brick your phone...

Just wait...
[HTC Desire S] ghuk:
yes I agree. It's been 2 weeks now since this thread was created but up to now, there are no updates about it.
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
I agree.. not a single letter from alpharevx that they do something for desire s.. they might gives us even a little light to look at...
[HTC Desire S] bad-wimpie:
What happend too NexusCrazy,s HTC Desire S he got it s-off using AlpharevX ? is it still working or has he binned it and got a new one.
[HTC Desire S] troxter:
Yes. Finally s-off with pay&go clip:)
[HTC Desire S] lukrop:
I second that. It doesn't have to be a release date but they could tell us if they are still working on it. :)

[HTC Desire S] kwisatz79:
I hope all the impatient and demanding kids will soon stop flooding this thread with rubbish...

Software development takes time. 2 weeks is nothing. Realize it.
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
Actually i am not that impatient and demanding. I dont care how long or how short it will take. My point and im sure many s-on users here are having the same point also is at least they give us a word to hold on to.. At least a post that will make us think that we are waiting for something and not like this that we do not know if we are waiting or what.
[HTC Desire S] diarmaid:
Patience is a virtue!
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Have to reply to this... but to modify a application to work on another device 2 weeks is a lot, and more that at the beginning of the 2 weeks, it already worked in a device...

I am pretty sure they are not working on the desire s at the moment.. they are working on something else and then release all at once... maybe they are working on having a better gui for the application..
[HTC Desire S] petreski:
Alpharevx are suckers !!!!

When i asked for desire s in forum, i get ban !!

****kkkkkk,

at least tell the truth .. not such treatment
[HTC Desire S] m1ti:
I'm not impatient and demanding either but I cannot wait for something that has no definite release date. It's like asking me to wait for Duke Nukem for the last ten years.

Anyway just forked out for XTC clip so at least I know my Desire S can get S-Offed next week.
[HTC Desire S] Igl0:
petreski, please stop flooding this thread with your crappy posts.

Thank you.

Edit : Buy an XTC clip, and you won't have to wait anymore.
[HTC Desire S] theguy:
I have spoken to these guys yesterday, and they said it was coming for Desire S.

No release date though. But it IS coming.
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
pics or it didnt happened

sorry but everyone can write here that he spoke with them

i want to see something official
[HTC Desire S] theguy:
I asked on their IRC yesterday. Obviously I cannot produce pictures now.

You do not need to believe me, it won't bother me if you don't.

I am just passing on information I was told, whether you care or not isn't my concern.
[HTC Desire S] ghuk:
big LOL! :))))

Just purchase a Pay as you go XTC clip, that's the cheapest and easiest way for us to s-off. I don't think that alpharevX will support desire S.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
1. Please don't swear. Its not necessary.

However long Alpharev take it'll be free and should only be commended.

I feel something in my water actually. :D

Too bad the Windows app is under review now though lol :p
[HTC Desire S] boobleccie:
Ok. I gained the beta key, my desire s was recognized by alpharevx app and it shows 'Acquiring root (method 2)'.

First time I tried to S-OFF my desire s rebooted. And now I'm trying for second time. It doesn't reboot, but it seems that alpharev x can't get root access...

I'll wait for 10 minutes more and if it don't succeed I'll try to get root access myself with something like Gingerbreak.
[HTC Desire S] slugger09:
So are we saying it doesn't work?
[HTC Desire S] sonikz:
I'm now S-OFF so it worked for me.... Took about 5 mins total!!
[HTC Desire S] boobleccie:
It doesn't work for me, but I'll keep trying. I don't believe that alpharev x team didn't test their application.

kabayan san pwede mka bili nyang XTC clip?

salamat.
[HTC Desire S] boobleccie:
I've got my Desire S S-OFFed! This time I rebooted with putting accum out and it worked!

Steps to S-OFF:

1) download alpharev x

2) connect your phone to Linux machine and select HTC Sync mode

3) start alpharev x. It will detect your phone and tell you it's serial

4) enter serial on alpharev x web site and get beta code

5) enter beta code when alpharev x app will ask for it

6) alpharev x will S-OFF your phone

IF step 6 didn't work:

1) you are already have beta code

2) turn off your phone

3) put it's accum battery out and then in. Do not power on the phone!

4) start alpharev x. It will wait for phone

5) power on the phone, connect it to the host machine, select HTC Sync mode

6) alpharev will detect it and ask for beta key. Paste the key you've got.

7) You should get S-OFF. If not - try once more.

Alpharev x app has a beautiful option - it can download and flash ClockworkMod recovery! No need for manual installation!
[HTC Desire S] boobleccie:
Sorry, but I don't have permission to post there. Could you please post my short how-to on how to S-OFF Desire S?

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Alright, good point.... I admit there was a flaw in my logic there, but this probably works to the advantage of all users in the long run, in that until the windows version is fool proof, properly functioning and 100% guaranteed (which at time of writing it isn't - in fact I believe it's been pulled) only more experienced users should probably be running it.

So only useful feedback should be provided

[Xperia Play Android Development] xzillerationer:
I am about to upgrade my phone, and Im eyeing the Play, however, will the bootloader be unlockable(or bypassable) on the Verizon variant? Since I got a DROID2, that's a must have feature. Any help would be thanked greatly.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:
Unlock is not possible yet on CDMA Xperia phones. It's currently being investigated, and hopefully solution will come soon ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] xzillerationer:
Well, is root and flashing roms similarly to the Droid2/X/X2 possible?
[Xperia Play Android Development] pumacat311:
Nothing of the sort is possible but everything is being worked on.. We are all waiting.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
Yes. Its possible. The difference will just be whether we find people willing to do the work. If all dev work stopped now, the process would go like this: wait for new root exploit, root phone, use second init process to boot cm7.... Just like the d2 and dx
[Xperia Play Android Development] <tk421>:
http://androidflip.com/root-sony-xperia-play/

fastboot drivers work on R800x, but unlocking bootloader on verizon is not possible yet.. Even SE cant help, i call shannanagins on you VW!!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ryocoon:
People are trying to work on getting the bootloader unlocked, despite SonyEricsson not willing to give any help to the CDMA variant folks (R800x). The document you pointed gives pretty much the universal variant of how to unlock and root for all of the R800 series _EXCEPT R800x_ (which is what Verizon carries). Since you can't unlock the bootloader, you can't currently flash a new/different ROM.

So for now, people are working on it, albeit slowly. Don't expect a unlock/root method in the next day, but it will happen eventually. I know I'm eagerly awaiting it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:
I'll work on that too when I get the phone.

I believe Verizon's phones aren't unlockable because Verizon wants total SW control over device.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I'm patiently waiting as well.
