[TUTORIAL][S-ON] Unlock Bootloader using HTCDEV.com

---

Hello,

for every new one out there I decided to write a little tutorial and explain the steps needed to unlock the WFS bootloader.

This process is made of 3 steps

1. Update HBOOT to support generating device tokens
2. Getting unlocking key from HTC-Dev
3. Unlock bootloader

PLEASE DO A FULL PHONE BACKUP, DURING THIS PROCESS A L L DATA WILL BE ERASED, FULL WIPE, FACTORY RESET

STEP 1 - Update HBOOT to support generating device tokens

* Go to http://htcdev.com/
* Click "unlock bootloader" and then "get started"
* On the right, chose HTC Wildfire S from the dropdown
* Click begin unlock bootloader
* Login, or register first, then login
* Confirm the 2 nasty boxes and agree all stuff
* Scroll down, choose your phone version, download RUU
* Run RUU.exe and flash new HBOOT
* Click proceed
* Remove battery, re-insert, boot into bootloader (Power + Vol-)
* Click proceed
* get those 3 files: adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe, read how to get them if you do not have them
* open a terminal as it is done on the site
* enter the command: fastboot oem get_identifier_token
* Copy the identifier token and
* paste it at the bottom of the page
* submit

STEP 2 + 3: Getting unlocking key from HTC-Dev
* check your e-mails, click on the link in it
* download attachment
* in the terminal execute: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
* with Vol +/- choose to confirm or abort unlocking
* press power to apply

NOW THE DEVICE WILL BE FACTORY RESET AND REBOOT

Check your HBOOT, first line should show "UNLOCKED", if you did all right.


OPTIONAL STEP: Re-Lock bootloader
execute command: fastboot oem lock


Please read below how to root your WFS now:

Thanks for the tut, But I encountered error

Your ROM Version is not currently supported, but there will be an update soon that will be supported. You will receive a notification to update your phone to the latest ROM code."

Hello i have the tmobile US wildfire s i cant find any RUU on HTCDEV website. If someone can guide me on what to do or is it impossible for now

Apparently it requires 2.3.5 (I still have 2.3.3). I got the same message as makhongmat above:

Your ROM Version is not currently supported, but there will be an update soon that will be supported. You will receive a notification to update your phone to the latest ROM code.

UPDATE:
Apparently the problem isn't that I have a 2.3.3 ROM. I just got through the HBOOT update using the tip at [HBOOT] HBOOT update for EU users who's having problem with RUU. Now I can proceed to finish the process at htcdev.com.

It will still say s-on but the blocks for boot/system and recovery have been removed so therefore you can now flash clockwork mod to install custom roms check out my auto installer in the dev section
