Okokok, my friend just did this on a T-Mobile locked WFS (IT WORKED) (on a spare one, not mine) , i was sitting next to him, and he was following the thread instructions! He was frustrated with the result of not getting s-off so he started pressing random buttons. and when it gets to the sm86 thing (i cant remember soz) , he said you have to press power + vol down + vol up, and then take out the battery and put it back in. AND NOW THE PHONE IS S-OFFFFF!!! WOOOHOOOO :D :):D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[HTC Wildfire S] :
Can someone confirm this? Was it an a150e phone or otherwise said, sim card use needed (non cdma)?
[HTC Wildfire S] No.12:
And again not GSM version?

[HTC Wildfire S] Durdy:
If I'm not wrong, T-Mobile only run GSM networks...

Desperately looking for an S-OFF solution for the gfs WFS. So close to getting the damn XTC clip... I might try this trick later and see if it works on her GSM WFS. What are the chances of brick beyond repair?
[HTC Wildfire S] No.12:
Then we need more info,HBOOT version,WFS version,GSM or CDMA (THE most important thing).

I want to know the same thing.
[HTC Wildfire S] aparici:
Could you explain how he do it? His phone is gsm or cdma?

If you try this be prepared for another hard reset, I havent tried it but I am almost certain it will not work. I think some of these guys get a kick out of someone else's failure.
[HTC Wildfire S] Durdy:
This will not work on GSM Wildfire S!

Either that person above is telling a porky for lols, or his "friend" is not on T-mobile, as that's a GSM network... Randomly mashing buttons wont trick the bootloader. :rolleyes:

You can try this for yourself on a GSM WFS, but you won't get very far, and you'll only have to recover your SD card.

On a side note, how do you find out weather you have a A510a/c/e? (or whatever letters they are :p )
[HTC Wildfire S] meanmug:
Settings, About phone, Phone identity.
[HTC Wildfire S] No.12:
Think this might be a case. :mad:
[HTC Wildfire S] :
Hi Durdy,

Go to "Settings" then "About Phone" then "Phone Identity".

Good Luck.

BTW - I understand what you are saying above but bear in mind that T-Mobile in the UK and Europe are GSM phones. However, in the USA T-Mobile is CDMA. I believe that it is abbreviated to TMOUS. This does NOT require a SIM Card.

Myself, I wish that when people post, they are specific about the phone they have.
[HTC Wildfire S] Durdy:
Cheers, turns out its the A510e

Did you mean UMTS? That also requires a SIM, doesn't it? Oh well, either way, there is no solution for S-OFFing GSM WFS at the moment.

Think I'll probably take the thing to the local market and see if any of the phone people there have an XTC clip knocking around.

HTC are starting to annoy me, they release a new phone practicaly every week, and just drop support for older phones that aren't even a year old.
[HTC Wildfire S] billclay1988:
I'm not sure about the sim card, but T-Mobile in the US is definitely GSM. It's Virgin Mobile US that is CDMA. So far the only phones this exploit has worked on are Virgin Mobile US CDMA phones.
[HTC Wildfire S] meanmug:
Tmobile is GSM everywhere, broadcast bands may be different just like AT&T. Btw TMOUS is Tmobile USA.

I'm at work now and cant test but I'm curious about this line "adb push gfree /data/local" and the file "gfree". I wonder if it is something like gingerbreak and are we able to push files to just /data/local and execute. Previous attempts at pushing files where to /data/local/tmp.
[HTC Wildfire S] Durdy:
I just tried it and unfortunately when you get to step 10, you can't re-open the terminal emulator, it just goes slow and hangs on the icon highlighted... Is there a way to do the commands through adb?

Looking at the comments, someone else has posted how to do it all through adb. So I'll have another stab. Either way, I'll need a different HBOOT image for the later instructions..
[HTC Wildfire S] baddboyy:
I did what they say and results screen : gfree.jpeg
[HTC Wildfire S] Durdy:
Similar, but not identical error here, we don't have the same kernel on our phones though.
[HTC Wildfire S] eoghan2t7:
This might work so could a s-off gsm user with root and busybox installed try this in terminal emulator please.

su

That might be able to flash via fastboot or temp root using terminal.

I do not know what I did :p... I'll try to recover now ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] eoghan2t7:
Did you do a full wipe after flashing?

If not do that and reboot sounds like incompatible cache files stopping it booting
[HTC Wildfire S] mars83:
Always wipe cache, partition and daviks :) And not working... going back to stock from recovery ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] MindBurn010:
Hey mars83, correct me if I am wrong but haven't you S-Offed your mobile already. Why are you doing all that sruff?

OKK, sorry bout my absence guys. Been out of town. Just got in touch with my friend at his house and was looking at the phone he S-OFFed. Its perfectly in good working order as he has flashed some custom roms! T-Mobile is GSM, he just got this phone of someone else. He also tried to s-off another phone but that was O2 and it didnt work. [partially ccos he doesnt knw what he actually did:confused:].

[HTC Wildfire S] WFSFTW:
Ok, he only went to check on his leg!

so now i asked him and he explained to me that the phone was locked T-mobile uk. [obviously]

He followed the initial steps on how to get S-OFF Without the stupid XTC clip and he didn't get it the first time, however he tried 5-6 times before he succeeded. What his "theory" is is that what you need to do, is follow this process 5-6 times and most probably [depending on the phone[idont know what specs you need in order to do so]] , and then probably it will work.

He's gonna test it out on other WFS's but he needs to do get his hands on some [their pretty rare in my area] first.

If he manages to successfulyy S-off a couple of phones, he will make a tutorial on hw to do so. Ill let you know in around 2 days wether or not its fully working on other WFS's :):):):cool:;)

I havent tested it but it could be the same situation as the recovery where you would volume up+power to enter recovery.
[HTC Wildfire S] :
No S-OFF

Sorry mate but I tried it before he did the edit, turns out there is no S-OFF. The only changes I got is that it did a factory reset, lucky I synced before I did it.

Any ideas?

BTW I still had my SIM in.
[HTC Wildfire S] Durdy:
Repeating the process wont trick the bootloader. I'm pretty sure if you could mash a certain combo of keys to trick it, the developer would know the combination.

Is there a chance, if it was a fairly new WFS, that it was already shipped S-OFF?
[HTC Wildfire S] eoghan2t7:
Do you mean newer wfs get shipped s-off?
[HTC Wildfire S] Durdy:
I've heard that some are, yes.. Not sure whether that could be used to help S-OFF others though. I doubt it.
[HTC Wildfire S] jugalde666:
I already try the same and s-on is the only thing that comes out, too bad
[HTC Wildfire S] billclay1988:
It worked for me, and several others. But we all have US Virgin Mobile CDMA A510c phones. If you have a different Wildfire S phone, it doesn't appear to work. It may have something to do with the fact that our version of the Wildfire S doesn't use a sim card.
[HTC Wildfire S] WFSFTW:
Ok he tried the same thing on 4 more WFS's [surprised he got so many in such a short time!] and turns out it didn't work.

He wasnt sure if he checked the menu where it says S-ON/S-OFF on the phone he "S-OFFED". But he thinks that it was probably S-ON [not 100% sure though]
[HTC Wildfire S] :
It's not fair!
[HTC Wildfire S] :
[warning]possible camera brick!

Hi all,

if you're gonna try this, try doing it with the instructions from the edit. Because I did it without the instructions from the edit and it looks like I bricked my Wildfire S's camera functions. I'm going to flash a Stock ROM on it now, maybe that'll fix it.

Once your s-off and rooted. Can you install cyangenmod or any custom rom/mod straight after?
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
Yes you can install a custom rom when S-OFF. And any mod with root.
[HTC Wildfire S] thehumble1:
I have an XTC clip but it's being held hostage by Ocalito. People should hassle him so he sends it back to me and then I can get it out there to unlock more Wildfires. He's had it for about 3 weeks now and unlocked his phone on the second day.

Everyone should PM him and tell him to send it back so it can do good instead of just sit on his desk.
[HTC Wildfire S] :
Yes. I'm still a newb to.
[HTC Wildfire S] Durdy:
I have an XTC Clip now, unlocked my WFS earlier. I'm willing to S-OFF other peoples, but it's just a question of the logistics that I'll need to have a think about... :o
[HTC Wildfire S] :
I'd be interested but logistics would be a problem.

Where in the UK are you ?

I guess trust could be an issue as someone in the US has not returned the XTC Clip back to the sender. I bet not many people would be willing to send their phones out either. Just in case they never return.

Anyway, we can all consider the logistics because it would be worth it.

[HTC Wildfire S] rolphez:
Where can I get the XTC Clip from and how does it work?
[HTC Wildfire S] wildfiresuser:
As long as we don't have a software solution for unlocking this phone, we won't have official ROMs from cyonagenmod etc because of the lack of the free community. So it's not the biggest problem that xtc clip is fairly pricey and not available for some of us. The problem is we need the community to have cool stuff and to have this support we need this to be done easily via software.
[HTC Wildfire S] :
Awesome! Gemma was starting to get rude though! LOL! It's weird how they can quickly unlock the bootloaders for more advanced and complicated devices but yet they can't do anything for our WFSs; which isn't that complicated. I hope that one day millions of people will bomb them with calls and messages complaining about the situation. That would be truly incredible! Or maybe, we could ask Mike to make a forum-wide announcment, asking everyone to make those messages and calls. Like that's gonna happen; but someone could try! :)

Hey,

I downloaded the officall rom "ruu" 2.3.5 and installed it on my phone, now my hboot changed from 1.03 to 1.08, the rom is not just the exe, and in the archiv there is a rom.zip. In this rom.zip there is the hboot 1.08.

We know that alphax can unlock some bootloader like 1.09, so why don't we try to change the .nhb file? And than unlocking, or rewrite the .nhb file!?
