[Q] How to get a S-OFF unit?

Hi guys

I am about to buy a chacha. However now the custom Tom fun seems to take off, I'm afraid to get a chacha that doesn't have S-Off and therefore makes me miss all the fun. Is the a place that is known for selling S-Off units? Or should I not be conserned about this at all as it might also be possible to turn a s-on unit into a S-Off unit?

You need to have luck to get your device delivered in an S-OFF state. You can however turn it from S-ON into S-OFF, by buying the XTC Clip from here It costs about 50 dollars, so it's not quite free.

I think I could be willing to spend the 50 dollars on that xtc. The only thing that would make me hesitate is that HTC might just unlock that bootloader as it with the sensation. Or would you think that that would be unlikely?

Seen that there are no custom roms yet, I wouldn't buy it yet. Two parties might release a free unlock: AlphaRevX and HTC. Though I doubt HTC will unlock the chacha, it is one generation behind the Sensation.

I'm going to get an xtc clip tomorrow,
I would say people could post me their chacha and I'll s-off for a small fee. But not sure I would post my phone to some random bloke on the web (i could be anyone!)

Then again the payg version is only ￡22 on eBay anyway.

I'm getting the full one as some people at work want theirs done.

The thing I want is to be able to use the uot theme kitchen like I had on my legend...for that I'll need clockwork mod.
