3 little things to keep the Wildfire S alive and current...

[d33ps1x]

We need three little things to keep the development and forum for the Wildfire S alive:


1/ Stop obsessing over HTC's unlocked bootloader. We need FULL S-OFF and SIM card unlocking. HTC doesn't care. Repeat after me...HTC Doesn't care.

2/ Shake out your pockets if you can and get your devices XTC-Clipped. For the cost of it vs the effort put into trying to get around it. We need a bunch of S-OFF'd phones and developers to not be relegated to the boneyard. If software S-OFF is possible that will be awesome but in the mean while check the thread about local clippers to hopefully find someone close to you where you can go and get it done.

3/Focus on what we CAN change soonest. Getting back on the main forums. This is the most likely thing to happen with the least effort to keep us current and visible to other WFS users and developers looking for a home.

So get through wasting time on item 1, spend some money on item 2 or chip into the dev process and let's all work on petitioning for item 3.

So check out the threads in my signature and find your local XTC Clip owner and let's get this forum moving.

Thanks to all those still making development efforts and efforts to raise awareness of this great little phone that could.

Cheers.

FYI,the only reason I can't buy an xtc-clip is that I can't afford it, and no shopkeeper even knows what an xtc-clip is!!!It costs around 7000 rupees in India(that a heck lot costly for a 16 year old with a monthly allowance of 500 rupees). I am trying to get it from some guys at XDA but noone is replying to PM'S......Not everyone is lucky in finding or getting an S-OFF.......

Understandable.

Doesn't change the fact that focusing on our own solution will likely pay more dividends then waiting for an unmotivated HTC to do something.

Software S-OFF is in the list. Beg, borrowing, or stealing an XTC clip is in the list.

Group buying of one is in there too.

Essentially anything to get S-OFF users and Dev's to fan the fire under the Wildfire S

Agree with csoulr666 on this one. The XTC clip isn't a viable option for many of us. It's way too heavily priced for many of us (about 20% of the cost of the phone itself) and plus, it's not easily available in many countries like India. In fact, people don't know what an XTC clip is!

I'd like to believe in Group buys and campaigns but they don't always work as intended, do they?

So it won't work for everyone but there are plenty of people who it will. It's about raising awareness that that thread and the option to go to someone local like myself exists.

My offer to clip phones for anyone on this forum still stands. I want to see things move forward for us.

Maybe first thing is to get us back on the main forum page now that we have CM7.2 with 9.0 on it's way.

People should research before purchasing the phone then. Gotta understand the risks and what is available before purchasing.

awareness

In all honesty alquez has pretty much put the WFS on the map; no disrespect to any other developers. Having:

1. a viable [yet unofficial] build of cwm
2. a viable [yet unofficial] build of cm7

This will, if it has not already, get the attention of some heavyweight devs.
Perhaps they will review and brand it official; perhaps we go on making unofficial stuff until someone notices. I just have to give him a huge thumbs up though when it comes to recognition of our phone model.

Wound + Salt = Ouch

We really do need a sub forum for all these S-off threads...

If your phone is a510c, you can s-off it by the method used by virgin mobile users..
