A few pages back there was a brussel person with a clip. That's the only belgian person with it i have read here. I need one myself and am from Leuven/ Lier

Good luck :)

if it was up to me I would do the service for free for every member of this forum
[Wildfire General] bongo1:
thanks for your number mate ill give you a txt this week when i decide what im doing your place is abit of a trek for me from east london so will see what free time ive got.

£10 is a fair price im sure people wont mind paying it id even pay upto £15 if there was one in east london but it sounds like most places dont know what s-off is.
[Wildfire General] androf:
I ve never been to east London (except once) due to it's reputation but if 6 people agree on meeting at Costa (you have ones there, right? :p ) I would not mind bringing the clip and coming

£10 for transportation and £50 for my boss to silence him

The whole thing is a geeky challenge for me and its defiantly not about money
[Wildfire General] bongo1:
haha now that would be a picture sitting in costa with a laptop, xtc clip, and a batch job of phones. Its a nice offer but it would most likely be impossible to find 6 people.

Hi look at post number 213 I think, and give member by the name of yourmate a pm he could be interested
[Wildfire General] androf:
pming him would sound like me trying to advertise my services

I'll wait till he sees my post :)
[Wildfire General] Nexus04:
androf your boss should advertise as it seems there a lots of people in the London area who want to s-off.

I`ve been seriously considering getting an xtc-clip and just charging a small fee to re coup the cost of the hardware, but I`d rather spend my money to upgrade from a Wildfire to a Desire or something like that.

Saving the pennies as we speak!
[Wildfire General] androf:
My boss knows nothing about technology, I introduced the idea of buying the clip and I bought it after a week of convincing him , he only agreed cause I told him he would make some good money out of it :)

when I try to explain to him the S-OFF he says "idc about S-OFF, does the phone get unlocked? if yes then we will make money" :p
[Wildfire General] Nexus04:
@ androf I take it you work in a phone unlocking shop or at least one that offers unlocking as one of its services?

Is it against forum rules or something to give your sevice a bump?
[Wildfire General] androf:
yes

I m not sure but I m 100% against it, this forum is an (open source) forum or maybe that's how I imagine it :)
[Wildfire General] Nexus04:
Good man if you have principles theres nothing wrong with sticking to them,I`m still torn between getting a clip or a new phone.The clip would be cheaper and in theory I could off set the cost by offering to S-off and unlock HTC`s. I could also sell my Wildfire and use that money towards a new phone.

I just cant decide which model to go for,with all the new upgraded HTC models like the Desire S etc I`m hoping that the used prices of the original Desires will start to fall so I can afford one.I dont want to pay over £300 for a phone

[Wildfire General] stevebryce:
Just an idea

Just a thought for everyone out there who was like me and bored of the waiting to s-off your wildfires.

I couldn't find anyone local to me with an xtc clip, and my local phone shop hadn't even heard of it. After I'd been into the shop, they looked into it and realised how useful it would be to them to have in the workshop, so they ordered one.

Next day, my wildfire is s-off.

So to everyone still waiting, if your local shop doesn't have one, might be worth a try, trying to convince them that it'll be useful and have them order one.

guys pretty pls cream on top - if you bring your phone to s-off please have a look at this checklist:

1. BACKUP your phone (text and non google contacts - better be safe than sorry)

2. get your battery FULLY charged

3. remove any custom ROMs or radios (obviously with Android it's not a problem - only for WinMo)

4. if you want a goldcard please bring an ORIGINAL Sandisk/Transcend/etc not a cheap fake one and REMOVE all your girlfriends' naked pictures/FBI files/whatever from the card as it will be _gone_forever!

5. did I tell you that you should charge your battery and backup your data? :D

[Wildfire General] hoho20022222:
Because you have to "donate" your money to HTC ^^
[Wildfire General] :
That's really funny. U should have searched for a while before going with xtc clip. Presently people are opting for xtc clip just to have custom roms on wildfire froyo with hboot 1.01 & S-ON (because it is not yet rooted by any software methods).

IMO, u have wasted ur money. But making S-OFF definately has advantages over using custom roms. Learn those things and enjoy ur S-OFF. Thats all u can do for now.

?

The red part of my question is the main point!

Thanks again for your time.
[Wildfire General] hacktrix2006:
Yes this will unlock the Bootloader and all you do then is simply get the su binarys from this site to root it or download super root to do the same thing from the market.

Nothing else will be changed.

The main goal of XTC Clip is to S-Off the device allowing Read/Write access to the /system partition and other protective areas on the phone. It also unlocks the network at the same time putting the CID to 111111 i have used it on my Wildfire and it works without damaging it. there is a PAYGO version which is cheap which can be found looking http://forums.phone-tools.cn/forum.php.

hope this helps.
[Wildfire General] wolfway:
I don't know why you would still pay for this when there is a free alternative?
[Wildfire General] :
Maybe for sim unlock for which there isn't a free alternative yet. Also the above few posts are referring to wildfire S which isn't having freeware rooting solutions as now i think.
[Wildfire General] yourmate:
the answer is PARTIALLY correct

Well, this is the theory.

The real life is however that after an s-off the Wildfire S needs a factory reset as it gets into a reboot loop cycle.

At least this was the case with all five I've done (with an original xtc clip)

Just for the record ;)

im currently on cyanogenmod with hboot 0.80.0002 and s-off from xtc clip.

i gather that people are having a lot of problems trying to root the latest hboot and im just wondering

since i have s-off with xtc clip, if i updated my hboot to the current one would i be able to flash a custom recovery without root?

and if so could i then just restore my nandroid backup of cyanogenmod and still have root???

cant help but feel that im missing something from the updated hboot........

any help greatly appreciated seeing as i`ve been chewing this over for a while, because if i was wrong and couldnt get root id have to downgrade the hboot again and run unrevoked again :/ (lots of effort, done it already :()
