[11.27]s-off without a XTC——really works，update

insink71 · Nov 13, 2011

My Attempt (Documented)

I also have a cdma wildfire s (A510c). Here goes my attempt...

1) First, I noted that GotsOJ stated that he had made his card with SimpleGoldCard; so I went and downloaded it.
Got my handy-dandy sd card reader/writer ready and proceeded to make the Gold Card using the steps found here.
Couple of helpful reminders/info, to turn usb debugging on go to Settings >> Applications >> Development and click the USB debugging checkbox; Also, I selected MMC1 to get my CID on step 2.

2) This next step provided some small confusion. GotsOJ stated that he unzipped PG76.zip to his sdcard; I had found mention of PG76.rar in previous posts, and I believe this may be what he was referring to. So, I downloaded that and extracted it to my newly made Gold Card.

3) You want to make sure Fastboot is turned off; so, you can boot into hboot and followed steps in original post...

Got some messaging:
This tool is for MAL#CT
chipset_pid: 129

but otherwise worked just as original post said it would...

Success.
I now have S-Off without a xtc clip (which cdma wildfire s couldn't use anyway).

Perhaps this will help another.

Apparently GotsOJ got it to work on A510c, but I thought I'd try and document the process.

Other attempts have not been successful (inc A510a & A510e); although, xtc clip would work for these phones [the cdma wildfire s have no sim port].

I've got A510e. Getting stuck on "Jumping to DIAG" too.

CID Error :/ I want S-OFF!

newklear85 · Nov 13, 2011

I took some XTC pills with hopes of bringing S-OFF to my phone while I'm high. I can confirm that that does not work either.

Anyone can try renaming the PG76DIAG.nbh to PG76DIAG.zip of the first post of this tread an putting both files on the gold card and following the tutorial? I'll try but i can't now, i'm on work.

snyker · Nov 13, 2011

I try it renaming the both files from eoghan2t7's.
But I have the same message :

[1] MFG DIAG
Security fail!
Update fail!

I work on A510E....

Try on another phone....

Thanks

Ok, i think that the chinese forum has a modified version of those files, so we have to wait to the 16/11 to release the files for the a510e

Now some really interesting info.
Original Wildfire users have also digged into this problem:

It's a lot more than just flashing that nbh file.
So to the developers: check this out!!

Hope this helps

Those involved in the Wildfire S S-OFF issue should meet up on IRC for better communication.

I've been AWOL because I've been trying to fix my phone.
S-off went smoothly. When I tried to flash a new ROM onto my phone, it bricked. Now it only vibrates 3 times and won't load into bootloader.
Everyone proceed with caution!

Every pioneer has to face the possibility of getting hit by an arrow. We appreciate your sacrifice to the cause.

GotsOJ · Nov 13, 2011

Looks like I'm stuck in qualcomm diagnostics...is there a way to get out? Can't find anything online

insink71 · Nov 14, 2011

Not Sure

I believe if you are referring to the tool the goldcard throws you into, you can do a battery pull, then reboot. Reformat your sdcard to normal or use another one; so you don't have that loop every time you enter hboot.

For those of you with Virgin US phones, this does seem to work. See my other post.

mars83 · Nov 14, 2011

So we wait for Wednesday then!

I apologizes sir, its just that you disappeared so quickly after s-off. You should have stuck around a lil longer and tried to help a few others incase of problems like the one your facing now.
