Hi all, I was just wondering if there are any apps that can permanently change the pixel density on the Wildfire that you can recommend?
I'm using LCD Density Changer atm which says it does this by writing to system, but despite having Superuser it just doesn't. I'm running CM7 nightly 51, although that's probably not got much to do with it.
Thanks
System Write requires S-OFF, which isn't available on the Wildfire yet (Or, you can get it if you know someone having an XTC Clip ).
So, I guess permanent pixel density is not yet achievable.
Ah, sadly not fortunate enough to have/know someone who has/afford an XTC clip just yet... so it's a no go
Still, thanks for the response

Slightly off topic, but i've always wondered what the use of s-off is since everything that u can do with s-off, u can do without s-off... (except that the phone has to be in recovery, but even with s-off most of the good stuff requires a reboot a anyway)
i suppose some of the fastboot hacks.... hmmmm
EDIT: never mind, now that i think about it there are a lot of uses
As the subject says any methods of rooting on a mac?

Thanks, I heard something about people not wanting to give their info on htc.com or something about it leaving s- on? Any disadvantage of htc unlocking?

What Hboot do you have? I rooted my evo with my iMac running Parallels that was running a version of windows 7 that I um... "found".

Yeah there are disadvantages. It voids your warranty and doesn't give you s-off so its basically worthless.
I just used a mac book booted into a linux live cd to root one the other day. Aside from the fact the laptop was like 5 years old and could barely run gnome it worked great

You found one too? I did as well. It was just wondering the street looking for a home.
Did the OP finally figure it out?
So is this the only way to root on a mac? What happens if I stay with s-on after root?
Dont really have knowledge on running windows or none of that...
There are only currently 3 methods of rooting on a mac (that I know of) , the HTC method, the boot camp method and the Parallels method. I also have no knowledge of a PC running windows but it's pretty straightforward when you watch a how to video. If you can't do any of those methods then you should use a friend's computer it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes. Just make sure he has Winrar to unzip files.

Thanks worked like a charm.
For us with currently unlockable bootloaders (branded phones), will removing the sim-lock give us the option to unlock the bootloader?
No
That was a definitive answer. Strange, cause I know people with unlockable bootloaders in their Arcs and Rays have managed to unlock them.

I can confirm, O2 UK unlock code does not alter the bootloader status
Slightly worried about getting the phone from Rogers here. Hopefully the Sony store will have a working unit so I can enter the command into the dialer to see if I can easily unlock it or not.
Daymmm, this is hard to hear lol...
am i right in saying that we cant root our phones without unlocking the bootloader first?

Currently there is no way to root without unlocking the bootloader, it will probably come at some point, but not now .
There is no drawback to unlocking your bootloader though, as they will still probably accept your device for warranty, unless you fry your phone with overclocking and such.
But yea, branded phones cant be unlocked at this moment, or well, they haven't figured it out yet. So if you are branded you can't even unlock your bootloader...yet . Give it time, everything will be figured out in time .

I am under the impression that selling it in the Canadian Sony store means it will not be branded for any carrier, since they'll be offering the phone unlocked. Probably even if they offer it on contract with a carrier like Rogers, it would still be unlocked, but just subsidized with your contract plan.
edit: They did say that the phone is exclusively with the Sony Store in Canada, so you can't get it straight from Rogers anyways, so no worries!
If there is brand in rogers, I am pretty sure they will lock the bootloader just like they did in xperia arc

Bought mine from the sony store locked to rogers. I can confirm that the bootloader are in fact locked. Bought mine at launch early tuesday morning.(12th)
They currently only sell XpS's locked to rogers. They unfortunately don't sell the unbranded version(/unlocked). They were also surprised by this fact apparently.
BTW the rogers bloatware that came with the device is annoying as hell. If you're going to buy on frim the Sony store in canada. Debranding would be the first thing I would suggest to do. Seeing as rooting or custom roming is out of the question.

Have to admit that i'm a little disappointed i got my phone as soon as it was released on my neywork.
That was before the information came to light, that branded fw's have their bootloaders locked.
Had i known that BEFORE i took the plunge, i would have upgraded via a third party mobile phone shop.
I am even more disappointed to see custom roms and tweaks coming out, only to find myself unable to go anywhere near them. Grrrr!
I have de-branded my Xps but i still have the bloat-crap on it. Which is now filling the ten whole spaces in my main menu.
I have been checking on here everyday hoping for a root solution and also on the omnius and setool sites but still i am without a solution :-( and my biggest concern of all is...
As most the devs and rom chefs have unlocked bootloaders, that means hardly anyone (if anyone) will be working on a solution. Double :-(

I hear you bro
Don't worry, it will come
I have faith in this community that something will be figured out. A few weeks ago it wasn't even possible to flash custom kernels and such, and they managed to figure it out. Now that things are flowing nicely, the rom developers have started working on making things again, and maybe there's more things being looked into in terms of rooting.
I've been here since my X1 and the community hasn't let me down yet, I'm confident they will find a way to get a root, and probably (given the speed even a tester CM9 came out) before ICS.
I guess you might have wait for those paid software like setool .... It will be like the same case like xperia arc. Rogers or any branded phone do not allow bootloader unlock.

My XS was locked to Orange UK 10 minutes back. Bootloader unlockable - No.
Got the code from Orange and phone unlocked to any network now.
Imagine my surprise when I saw this: Bootloader unlockable - Yes
Talk about double bonus
Too bad the phone is going to Sony on Monday for the yellow screen issue.

Interesting... I'm a bit skeptical though...

Yeah, I can't take the plunge and use this phone as my daily driver. Not with Timescape (or whatever you call the Sony UI). I want to be able to use AOSP apps. What I hate is when the UI elements creep over when you're using an app (stuff like checkboxes) and it just makes the overall experience feel inconsistant.
I have since buying the phone debranded it and flashed the singpore rom, and it does a good job at eliminating bloatware, but I want to go in deeper and install CM9 whenever that's ready.
The phone does have what looks like the test point connections, I wanted to mess around with them but I didn't have the proper screws to remove the battery cover. Anyone know what the size of the screws are so I can get a screwdriver that fits?

If you could have done the test point process, I'm sure it would already be posted here. It's quite possible there will be some type of testpoint exploit in the future.. But as of now not the case. I wouldnt suggest messing around inside your phone unless your ready to void your warrenty and at least somewhat know what your doing.
Who knows you could be some secret dev-ninja-genius. ...but then again your asking about screwdriver sizes instead of just eyeballing it like most people would do, so I very much doubt that bro.
Just my 2 cents.

I know you were just trying to be mindfull of what happens to my phone and stuff, but if I "eyeballed" the size what good would it do if I don't have a small enough bit to fit the screw? I was able to remove the frearson screws but am missing the torx.
A test point method is still possible (maybe) but the reason that there are no posts about it is that the software used (Omnius, SEtools, etc) is not yet compatible with the XS.
Im toooo interested too, my phone has bootloader blocked for my phone company, so I cant get root or do anything
Im waiting, I hope too much they find a solution soon !

You will, don't worry. HTC is a good company that is committed to providing the best for its customers, and ensuring their complete satisfaction. They are working hard on your device, and please remain assured that your device will be updated very soon.
I would love to help more, but the absence of any useful information in your post reduces one to platitudes.

Reboot and hold down the volume down button, you will see a white screen with some weird text.
You will find at the very top "CID: " and some numbers/characters after it.
Write the characters that you see.. It consists of something like this HTC_01 or instead of HTC there might be something like "O2" .
Or an alternative way is download a playstore app called "CID Getter" and then write the characters/numbers combo that it says.
Updates arrival time changes from one CID to the Other.

^^ Get your CID as he said. "CID Getter" is probably the easiest way. CIDs are used by HTC to categorize different markets/operators where they sell their phones.
Once you have that, check in the general section/subforum. There are a couple of threads where people have posted their CIDs and if they have got the Sense5 update. But normally, I would assume that if your CID has got the update, then you should have got an OTA update.
If you really want Sense 5 and 2.17/4.2.2, then you could try Insertcoin from the Android Development subforum. Excellent, stable ROM which offers most of what 2.17 does. probably better. Your HBOOT and radio will remain the same, which is not a bad thing, tbh. You will have to root etc. though, but Hasoon's toolkit and a search in the general subforum should sort you out.

it says CID as 11111111
really? can you reconfirm? 11111111 usually means a SuperCID. which in theory means that your phone can be upgraded with pretty much any OTA,RUU. However it also means that if y ou are not careful, you can also brick your phone much more easily.

Nothing to worry about, just to clarify a few things. CID stands for carrier ID, Most devices are locked to only being able to apply updates designed for that particular CID.
Now when you have SuperCID like you, it means your devices is not locked to any particular set of updates and you can flash official roms or OTA's meant for any region or carrier.
As far as i know there is nothing particularly dangerous with having a device with SuperCID as there is still protection in place to stop you flashing OTA's/RUU's meant for other devices or HOX variants..

I would use Dirty Unicorn 4.2.2 after you S-Off and install 4Ext recovery.
Use the brick method for hboot 1.50 but substitute the 1.50 hboot with a 1.58 hboot when you pull the battery to brick it. I know it says its for 1.5 but mine was on 1.58 and it worked for me. Look at my profile to find the post I'm reffering to.
