HTC BOLT [SPRINT USA] S-OFF & SIM Unlock & IMEI REPAIR [SOLVED]

[dtkool]

Hi,

I just wanted to confirm the answer for these 3 questions before I head out to buy a HTC BOLT [SPRINT USA] (Not HTC 10 EVO).

Can XTC2clip do the following 3:

1) S-OFF [Permanent or Temp] ?
2) SIM-Unlock [to use other GSM SIM] ?
3) IMEI-REPAIR ?

Some one please reply and confirm the 3 items listed above. Thanks!

1)permanent
2)clip unlock didn't work for me,but others have had success. I used a guide on xda and my Bolt works fine on gsm(cricket)
3)should work,but not sure what reason there would be if you're not going to use it on sprint

Thanks for the confirmation...

1) S-OFF (a must have)(really need to know it's PERMANENT)(thx again !!!)
2) SIM-Unlock (Should be ez after S-OFF)
3) IMEI-Repair (SPRINT USA cellphone tend to turn BAD / FRAUD / LOST / STOLEN very quick after you buy)(just wanted to make sure I have second option or alternative)(I just got the SPRINT UNLIMITED PLAN)(Free for 12 months)(End 6/30/17)

Hi,

It's strange really, did you try it in download mode (not bootloader) ?
