[Q] How to make s-off and super CID(sim free)?

I use Unrevoked,and I still got s-on,how can I solve that?I want to make s-off.And my WF is still unlocked(sim),This is my bigest problem,pls help

Both are not possible as of now on the Wildfire. The only way to unlock is to buy an unlock code, and, S-OFF is still no possible on the Wildfire. (AlphaREV is supposed to implement this, but, it there is no release yet)

you can unlock phones using a gold card and a WWE RUU.

Just flash WWE RUU with gold card or ..?

no
you cant unlock the wildfire by making gold card and flashing flashing does not access that part of the mobile device.

I thought that was unbranding, not unlocking? (The SIM Lock is still retained even if you do that, AFAIK) :/

Some other solution?any chance to make sim free?
maybe this work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857444

Is it possible?

Did you not read the other replys?
YOU CANNOT DO IT.
Also that link is not for the wildfire.

£100 for that!! if you are rooted, you can use clockwork mod to access /system and other system folders (similar to s-off, but you are responsible if you brick your device in doing so). to unlock your device, contact your carrier. they should be able to do it for between £0 and £20

Could you guide us through that process?

To goldcard the phone to bypass Cid please search the forum. Xda does not need another novice adding more stuff to it. That is already there
Edit. This will not provide s-off just the ability to flash any buzz ruu

@cybertyk thanks man, I'll search for it, just one quick question.
If I bypass the CID and install a RUU my device will be sim unlocked?
Thanks again!

Figured it out myself...

A quick question

Hi I owned a t mobile g2 touch when I had it I rooted it using the goldcard method, I have now given it to a friend who is on the o2 network he took it into a local phone shop who said they would sim unlock it, 2 days passed and now they say they cant do it as it has custom firmware :-( what do I need to do for him to be able to use it?

As far as I know sim unlock has nothing to do with Custom rom or any other rom..
You could try http://www.htcimeiunlock.com/
I used them to unlock my HTC HD7 and were preety quick with the code.. might have to pay via paypal though

Can't tell by your signature where you are located but if you are in America, you can contact T-Mobile online, give them the IMEI number to your phone, then they will send you in a couple of days, the instructions and unlock code for your phone.

Get unlock code from provider or buy one online.

Easy!
No need any unlock code! just hack your HSPL, and flash a new radio, your phone will automatically unlock!

Android is not native to HD2 so I'm sure it is ALREADY unlocked

You're both incorrect here, unlocking usually refers to a sim unlock, therefore flashing a new ROM will have no effect on unlocking the phone. As the people above you said, you have to buy an unlock code, input the new sim then enter the unlock code (or something along those lines, haven't done it before).
Also, why bother reopening an old, solved thread simply to post an answer to a question which has already been answered? If you're trying to get 10 posts, do it on the newer threads, not the ones from early 2011.

Is my M8 worthless?

Hello all,
I have a Verizon branded M8 AND have recently switched to TMob. The M8 is running 4.4.4 and is unfortunately still S-on and locked. Am I just stuck with a useless $600 phone until the Sunshine several developers come up with a way? Is that the only outfit with the capability of rooting this phone right now? Thanks in advance to anyone with any info.

Did you try calling verizon to get the unlock code?
If you have been with them for long, they will probably give it to you for free or maybe charge a fee but well you can use your phone then.
If they are unwilling to give you the unlock code then just say that you are gifting it to someone special or donating it. Just come up with a good humane reason and surely they will help.
They will also show you the procedure to unlock it.
Also as far as my knowledge goes, it is not possible to remove your phone carrier's lock using custom firmware.

I did try calling Verizon but i am trying to unlock the bootloader not the Sim. ... does that change your answer or should i try again?

See the htc forums on xda too.
Sim lock cannot be removed by flashing or installing custom firmwares. There is a separate procedure to unlock htc phones and their bootloaders.
I am familiar with htc sensation unlocking but don't know if it is the same for M8.
Will update you when I reach a full fledged computer with the relevant links.
You can also search the xda forums.

I am quite familiar with the htc bootloader and the unlock process. The process includes going to the htc Dev site and getting an unlock token that you then flash to the device using fastboot command. The problem is that verizon seems to be the only carrier who has somehow not allowed this. When you put your a string in on the dev site it comes back with a message saying "your carrier doesnt support" somethin like that neway.... i am wondering though if there is a way to do something at a more physical hardware layer. I mean it is jus a qualcomm chip at the end of the day... if i were to crack it open physically would i be able to access a non populated jumper that would completely erase the eeprom??

It could help. Just searched xda for you. It does not require you to get unlock token from Htc.

Network Unlock and Root HTC DEsire 816 a5_chl

Hey, I am posting this since I have gone through some threads and they don't really seem to have the answer that I am looking for.
I have a HTC DEsire 816 a5-chl with Security_On.
I'd want to to
i) Get s-off
ii)Root the Device
iii)have custom ROM installed(or a stock one) currently on lollipop 5.0.2
iv)and Perhaps network unlock using CID
Is there anyone who may show me any of the above steps. Some may overlay others, for instance, getting s-off and rooting.(I hope I am right in saying this) Would flashing a new radio network unlock the device?
Kindly feel free to correct me and guide me on the above steps please. thanks.
Slightly confused guy.

I just now saw your post and if your still interested in getting help with gaining root, S off and flashing custom roms I'd be happy to walk you through it as I have done all 3 on the same device. As for the CID changing I did research on that but it's a niche reason as to why you would actually use it but I did a lot of research on it and would pass on what I've learned there as well. Just let me know.

Is there a way to get s-off for free?

S-off
S-No
?

Can you help me out how to S-OFF my phone, I'm Stuck at that part.

I paid the $25 for the Sunshine app and it gave me true S off. That's the only way to get it. There are write protection mod scripts that fool the system partition to allow root apps like Link2SD to run at boot up but I never messed with that particular hack as it's still not true S off.

After that, what steps should I take to actually enable the GSM part, since this is CDMA, might I enable to use GSM SIM cards?
