Hi
Just checking if anyone has been shipped/got an S-OFF Flyer?
I've not put this in the Dev section until i find out if there is any around.
Please do not reply to this unless you have a an S-OFF flyer, or a HTC flyer from another region apart from EU or North America.
I really don't want a thread full of " mine from Best Buy Springfield it hasn't got S-OFF, what S_OFF?", if you don't know how to check if its S-OFF please don't reply as what i'm going to ask you to do will be like sticking spoons in my eyes!
Cheers

Bought one in Malaysia - looks like there's a specific South East Asian version.
Language wise it has English Malaysia/English Singapore - and has Vietnamese & Thai language options too.
Anyway - unfortunately it's S-ON
S-OFF is equivalent to a dev-kit where you can load any ROM.
Retail phones are S-ON as the embedded ROM has been officially tested for QC.
Mine is s-off. Just bought it today through eBay in France. I havent started exploring the root-ing options right now but happy to have it s-off.

I guess the challenge is to get the flyer s-off.

Ok. The seller has 5 HTC flyers available. All with s-off from the factory and brandnew. Price 450 euro each. Let me know if someone needs it. Can I start a new post for the same?

Still avail?
S-off flyers still available? If so, do they have East Asian language support (Traditional Chinese) etc. I am very interested

This deal has been back up today (12/12/2011 USA) with 2,000 listed. As of this posting there are ~700 left.
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-HTC-EVO...60697751315?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item256a551713
Price is $239.95, without contract. HTC Evo View 4G with 1GB RAM, 32GB storage and the rest is same as the HTC Flyer.
No word on Ice Cream Sandwich or Honeycomb as official release. I read a news article stating that there is a rumor that these may drop to $199 after the holidays.
Picked one of these up. Thanks for the heads up!
I wanna do this, but its so hard to pull tge trigger on an HTC device with no way of ripping Sense's throat out....

So I traided my sensation for the flyer, couldn't be happier (except the fact it has HC on it already but I am coping with that)
Anyway, the device is S-on and uprooted and operator locked.
How do I remove the operator lock (on my own, without paying)

Operator
Firstly, whose your operator? Geneally, the Flyer 3G is not sold with operator lock.
T-Mobile, when I insert a vodafone sim card it asks for a network pin..
Yeah, there is no T-Mobile logo on it or on the startup screen, odd..
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using XDA Premium App
Are you S-on or S-off ? Gingerbread or Honeycomb radio/hboot/. Is your flyer WWE/Brightstar/US
If you can post a screenshot of your SIM pin prompt, it would help.
Also, it maybe that's your Vodafone SIM thats locked. Try with another SIM if possible. Go into HBOOT(volume down + power button when Flyer is off) and check your sim lock status using your Vodafone sim and the T-Mobile sim.
Report back and I'll see if I can help.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using XDA Premium HD app
Ok, I got your problem. HTC is infact selling the T-Mobile version of the flyer with operator lock and a T-mobile logo on the top right corner if I'm correct.
The only way till now is to buy a unlock code from the websites like gsm mobility or htcunlockcode.com , who provide you with unlock codes for as low as $12 based on your IMEI.
Some guys at the DHD / Desire S forums made an unlock tool which removed operator lock, if someone could port that, it would help.
The main problem now is that very few Flyer owners/developers have the operator locked T-Mobile flyer. I could give porting a try, but wouldn't be able to test it.

I thought the carriers had to release the lock code to you if you asked for it. Call them and ask for either the SIM lock or the MSL key. As long as you don't try to dodge the ETF, they don't erally have a legit reason to deny you that information.
Barring that, I think you can get around this once you are rooted.

Well, I can see you have the same Hboot version as I have on my Flyer. From that I can say that at the moment it seems not possible to get your device S-OFF'ed. But you can get it unlocked at htcdev.com and from that point flash a costum rom (from XDA) and maybe that network thingy will disappear...
My thoughts on your request.
To be simple - it's not possible to remove sim pin or operator lock just by rooting. You need radio s-off for that.

are you still willing to do this? i assume youre refering to gfree? i have a t mobile fller,am comfortable with adb/fastboot and would be happy to test. if we can find an exploitable radio,might it give radio s-off as well? im mainly interested in subsidy unlock,superCID(althoug im not sure the flyer is subsidy locked in the first place),but radio s-off would be a sweet bonus!

Hi brothers at xda,
I've got a htc amaze with android 2.3.4. Was checking the phone and found that its made in china. The phone is from tmobile. Someone please guide whether htc amaze from tmobile made in china is original or not? Also wanted to know if htc amaze and htc amaze 4g are two different phones?

The Ruby was manufactured in China by HTC for T-Mobile USA, who markets it as the Amaze or the Amaze 4G (just one device, sometimes the 4G appellation is ignored.)

HTC is a Taiwanese company, of course it's made in China. Taiwan is part of China according to China and most of the world, but not America. Just because it's made in China doesn't mean it's not real, it's a great quality phone.

Well actually the Asian Amazes need S-Off since the firmware is different. So saying the difference is only Carriers is a bit inaccurate.

yes, but I found that when I had my HD2's the ones made in Taiwan were much more reliable than the ones made in China.

In general I found the same as you stated. But electronics made in China have indeed improved a lot than a few years ago. I still prefer Japan > Korea=Taiwan > China if given a choice, though.
Actually that was my dilemma when I had to choose between Amaze and One S. The T-Mobile One S was made in Taiwan with S4(much better CPU) while the Amaze(all made in China) has a better front camera, SD card, removable battery, and a supposedly better display(if you prefer LCD over AMOLED, this is subjective, though...) but a power hungry and slower S3... I've had the Amaze for 14 months but not sure if I made the right decision or not...
In summary, yes. HTC Amaze is made in China like most of the cell phones today. Even Samsung switched from made in Korea (Behold 2) to made in China. (TMO versions of S3 and S4)
UPDATE: I found my current HTC Amaze is made in Taiwan. What happened was that my original Amaze had a problem with dusts in the front camera. It was so bad that the image from the video camera gets quite fuzzy. Since it was still under warranty, I sent it to HTC service center for repair (cost me $10 via USPS). HTC support told me that would repair but not replace my phone. But in fact they replaced it with a new phone made in Taiwan. I only found out when my unlock code failed to work and then I saw in the back the phone is now made in Taiwan with different a serial number and IMEI.
