there are no more clips with credits, this is history, the clip you will get has been already dispatched by fedex, i guess you will have it after tomorrow. i will pm you the fedex tracking, please keep an eye on it, since i haven't got a contact number and they can't reach you in case something wrong with the adress
the manual is here:

thanks in advance
have a look at this link http://rebel-xtc-clip.com/support-how-to-use-rebel-xtc-clip.html, mine came today have put the reseler as xda dev beta tester and currently testing now
well took a while but managed to get the salsa to become s-off all thanks to the xtc clip, i found that when it cleaned s58 it rebooted the phone once the phone came on as normal you need to clean s58 again before you can unlock etc, the way i did it was clean s58 as soon as the phone went to reboot i took out the battery and then unlocked and s-off worked, the xtc clip is awesome thanks a million
had about 10 min of the phone been stuck in diag mode, this was fixed by me removing my sim card and battery, setting the xtc clip back up again and letting it reflash my phone, once done turned the phone off and back on with my simcard installed and all fixed. Have now manged to install cwm recovery v4.0.1.4 and about to test some custom firmware

Just out of curiosity, for those of us who don't make the cut regarding your requirements, has this hit the point where it's ready for distribution? I've had my Salsa now for 2 months and the bloat wear and memory restrictions are driving me nuts. I don't post on these forums much but I'd love to get this Salsa set to s-off eventually.
Just update if you don't mind when the product is ready, I'll happily pay for it.
U can buy it right now. There's another post on what the clip is giving links to where u can buy them from.

hi, i have the verizon touch diamond, i have looked all over and cannot seem to find a way to unlock it so i can isntall a rom
i want to try a different rom, and how would i go about doing that?
thanks.
pm sent, not sure if I'm allowed to post links to other forums
I didnt think this was possible because the verizon diamond is different than the other cdma versions. Can you send me that link too?
I as well did not think they had one yet and were not working on one. Can I also recieve the link.

Has anyone received the PM?
I have been PMed by Cmonnex on PPCGeeks and she has offered to unlock it for us. Just needs some funds for a device. I am working on it but I have to wait till pay day for the diamond I got my TP2 and that is my focus right now.

ahh, cool that clarifies it. no worries and thanks for your donation
what is it you need exactly? i have the stock verizon diamond rom dumped,if this will help i will send you the 2 files. part 01.raw and part 02.raw
any update or another form?
so any update? or is there a thread at ppcgeeks that is more active? is there anything I can do to help?
I'm also very interested in this. I'm holding onto my Diamond at least until something comes out on the CDMA side that ditches the old Qualcomm garbage.
Is there anything happening with this? I know TP2 HSPL was just released, so I'm sure free time had been going to that. Any chance us lowly VZW Diamond owners could be next in line? Donations are in order, if so.
the update.
Cmonex is working on this and should be testing this in a week or so.
Thanks for the update. If you need any help testing, I'm happy to be a guinea pig.
Thank you!
I don't believe it! I never thought this day would come. I was almost used to searching hours and hours through the threads only to feel like a conversation would be so close until some idiot would start giving us links to Sprint ROMs...
How's the progress going on an unlocker for Verizon's HTC Touch Diamond so we can install a custom ROM? I purchased the Diamond (it arrived today) under the impression that all these other CDMA unlockers for Sprint, Alltel, etc. Diamonds would work -- I was mistaken!
While I cannot donate my phone to the project, I would be more than happy to donate some cash via PayPal if an unlocker for VZW Diamond is made available.
Thanks!
Just an update on my end
I have not heard anything from cmonex that an unlocker is ready for testing I pm'd her this morning. Hopefully she hasn't gotten too busy.

Hello dear XDA-Community,
The idea of this thread was to serve as an un bricking thread eventually,
I am looking into a riffbox for jtag service, I am approaching xda to see if any users would be interested in helping me cover the cost of said riffbox
if you were to donate towards the cause in return you would receive free unbrick service and jtag service for all your devices as long as the riffbox supports the CPU architecture
If this is of no interested not a big deal i just thought i would give the community a chance to get involved rather than keeping all the cool toys at my house and not sharing
This thread will be the hub for service requests. If you happen to need unbrick service, you will find this thread and us to help you.
I will post a log of all payments made from that money plus all Items received (e.g. the RIFF Box, the cables, Jigs, etc.)
I will also keep an online "work and ticket tracker" so that you can see live reports /pictures of the status of your repairs
now your like ok i didnt donate to help you buy this thingamabobber now i bricked my phone and i dont wanna pay some dude on ebay 60$ to fix it
cool find me post in the thread if your device is supported we can get it unbricked
Please remember i am one man and do have a child so im not planning to support 43000000x users but i dont think it would be bad to offer service to RC's RD's and senior members of xda for no cost of labor just get the unit here and ill jtag it up
RIFF Box - US $155.00 + Shipping
JIG Connector - negligible i have a variable temp soldering station so i could solder to the board direct at low heat
Updates / Facts / News:
Some things you might see around the thread
Hope this is gonna be very very educational for people too. Unbricking always is some sort of a mystery for many and if you send off your phone to some stranger on ebay, you usually don't get an idea about the "Hands On" and gettin' dirty bit of tearing down a phone and actually make it look nice and work properly again afterwards.
So, maybe we will even have some photos or videos and stuff and just give you an idea of how that all works...
Please ask your questions
and if your located in the USA and close to me for XDA active members I will always do what I can to help out as XDA has always helped me out
I am not trying to sell jtag service at all guys im saying if we can get me a riffbox ill give xda senior members RD's RC's RT's mods and members with over a 300 post count free jtag service

I think this is great and all but I have one question.
How would a single riff box provide all of us with s-off? JTAG is a great skill to have but if there is only one riff box its not going to benefit the rest of the community for s-off. We need a s-off solution that wont require all of us to buy special hardware to achieve it.

I did read your op. And the title says s-off and unbricking project.
so if this for just unbricking or both?
My point is its a little misleading. JTAG is awesome for unbricking but if this is going to be an s-off project also the average user should understand the risks of JTAG for s-off. Like it requires the phone to be taken completely apart and then flashed. And hopefully put back together correctly.
I changed the digitizer on my og evo and swore i'd never try it again. I'm not knocking what your trying to accomplish I just think the rest of the community should be aware of what jtag entails.

so if you read the OP you would understand that i am offering free jtagging service to those who donate / users who have a 300+ post count for use once unit is received
if you dont understand what the service is capable of don't knock it
I also don't expect every john and jane doe to send me their phone just to get s-off thats ridiculous and also CLEARLY stated in the op....
it sounds like you read the title skimmed the paragraph and are now asking why i think this is a good idea?
1) To service high end users who want the freedom of their device and don't care about warranty as it is invasive
2) to offer a free alternative for xda users who are paying sites like mobiletechvideos 40-50$ for s-off service
3) to give something back
4) to offer brick repair to a site that has always been there to help me esp to those n00b users who just flash whatever and brick their unit
I also was a cell phone repair tech for 2x years and have quite extensive knowledge in this field
just wanted to share is all

Like the title states, would like to hire someone to convert an unlocked m7, new in box to gpe. I'm coming from a nexus 4, which I was able to tinker with myself. However I'm not confident in attempting on this phone. I'm located in dutchess county NY, would rather do local. But I would ship to a reputable member if necessary.

Would you be happier if someone here just guided you through it step by step? There are some awesome devs here who I'm sure would be happy to try and help and Gove you steps along the way. Also, there are some very well written guides on here that you can follow, asking questions here along the way and get some info if you are stuck
So if you would be happy doing it that way, we can guide you through it here!
Make sure you have a working laptop and a good USB cable, using 2.0 ports and preferably Windows 7, with working/up to date drivers and adb files
Well 2 problems. I've read the tutorials, watched the videos, and am still not confident lol. The main concern is getting s-off. The other issue is I only have a macbook working at the moment. That's why I figured I'd give in and have someone do it for me. Its not worth risking IMO, I'd rather pay someone with the expertise to do it.
I genuinely appreciate the offer however! I just don't have the confidence. Sometimes things just seem beyond skill level, and you have to swallow your pride lol
I have no problem guiding you over the phone or skype! It is a piece of cake ! If you read the tutorial and just scared to brick your phone, i dont think itll happen! Done it to 5 HTCs!

It's prob easier on a mac than a PC, both Android and OSX are based on linux unlike Windows.
i'm going on 3 days now with nothing and getting very impatient because i really can't use the phone without root as i use some apps extensively each day that require it.
so how long did it take for your unlock code to arrive?
also, is it possible to load other roms using the mi flash tool without root? i wasn't sure about that since i've only ever loaded other roms with twrp
almost instantly for me. Got the code via text literally 3 mins after I applied online. I'm located in the US btw. Not that would matter. Or would it?
Mine came unlocked but I got my unlock text 1.5 days later
3 days,
i did post in the official xiaomi forum asking for faster service. not sure if that helped

Did you post in the unlock request forum even though it tells you that you need to wait 6 days or more? I'm considering doing that cause I really want to start using this phone daily.

Yes in the complaint section. I was polite and asked it to be urgent.
Took 5 days for me
What was the reason you guys used? I filled out the form basically saying I want to root and have full control of my device. Was that good enough or nah? I heard they handing out rejections left and right.
Requested mine an hour ago. Nothing yet.
Requested mine yesterday. Still none.

I know this is something new to a lot of us,(yours truly included) giving a reason why we wish to unlock.
Good/bad,or indifferent,it's their way & as long as the request sounds as if you know what you're doing/willing to take responsibility for whatever happens post-unlock,my guess is that's all they want to hear,to combat potential "My phone won't work/stuck/bootloops" warranty claims.
I told them as much,accepting responsibility for my phone & that I wish to use an aftermarket/developer ROM.
Turns out,I didn't need to ask,mine was already unlocked,but,I got the OK in about 3-4 days.
finally got my unlock after posting in complaints as suggested and then giving them more information - after doing that i got it a few hours later.
already unlocked, rooted, xposed - man this phone is so so awesome once you get that done.
I got mine very quick I just wrote I like the mi mix as my reason of unlocking bootloader.

This process, in itself, is frustrating. Inefficient. And puts into the question the service and organization methodology of Xiaomi.
48hours have come and gone, and earlier this morning was replied about there 10 day procedure. Yeah, ok. 10 days to wait. Hmmm
FINAL EDIT: As many have noticed this thread is/has been very dead. First off, I tried to have someone on the mods to get this account of mine shutdown. That did not work as you can tell, but when that did not work I decided to just ignore this whole thing all together Second, this operation was not a man job as I was simply a middle man for a woman who wanted to help people but needed a hand. I was simply taking the info and spreading it to her. As popularity grew in the thread more and more requests came in and queue times were going to take longer and longer to fulfil. At some point I decided to give her access to my account because I was getting busy at my job and had no way to constantly upload new information to her so we could continue. This would give her a way to look into my messages and gather some info when she had her own time. I have no knowledge of what happened since, except for a few replies I would see that she made with my account. I would imagine over time she finally stopped or got caught since this thread and my messages are finally dying off. I do apologize if you were not helped but thankfully someone at some point during this period offered help in their own way too. So, THANK YOU GUYS for all the patience you gave, and I hope you guys enjoy the root or unlocked bootloader that you got because of this post.
I got mine this way too and there was no pressure for any kind of payment or anything.
It's not like that.

That's my favorite part about all of this! She doesn't try to pressure you into any donations or payment! It's fantastic honestly. Now I have to wait either for the token, or for the msm tool to be cracked for tmo conversion.
True hero right? hahah
I love to watch how people come together for things like this.
We need more of that in the world... Just taking a little of your time to make someone else happy.

She is wonder I didn't need mine unlock but she was willing to do if needed ?
Not that I wouldn't want to do this as I prefer root on any device I have, but as someone who used to work for tmo if she gets caught she could definitely lose her job. I agree with the others you should probably take down the post

I wouldn't donate... Seems not completely ethical.

She isnt doing anything against policy, T-Mobile reps have a lot of leeway with regards to the unlock policy, I have gotten 'manager overrides' to unlock for basically every single tmo device I've ever had since the note5. All I've ever had to do was call customer care. Although this time I pm the aforementioned user because I didn't want to wait on hold until I get a rep that would finally understand how to get it done.

I don't care if she unlocks it, but taking a"donation" is not ok.

Yea I get that it's a gray area, but on the other hand better a voluntary 'donation'to an individual than a high payment to some shady unlock site :/

Or simply waiting for the patched MDM tool and convert to international so you can unlock bootloader without needing:
1. TMobile
2. Unlock key
I understand the views behind the idea of donations. It was never mandatory. If you don't wish to, you don't have to. Simple as that. Either way it's someone going out of their way in our community, to help us out. They at least deserve a thanks of any kind.

Hey everyone!
So I did not realize how much attention this would get. SO, in an effort to help out everyone but keep this a little more low key PM me your phone number and last name! All of this info will be sent to the user for the unlock to go through.
This is both to benefit those with the Tmo variant of the device and keep the user responsible a little more safe and secure. If you have questions please feel free to PM me and ask away!

Thank you. Respect to you for respecting them.
Did you delete the other post that I quoted you on? I tried loading it and it just said "fetching page" forever.
None of my PM's are going through. Would you please message me so I can provide you with the name and number.
Disregard - a T-Mobile rep manually whitelisted my IMEI via Facebook chat, so I was able to SIM-unlock.

Dre is 100% right. My wife is a supervisor in a TMobile call center and the user doing this would 100% lose her job if caught. There is a big difference between getting an override from a supervisor and going into someone's account the way she is. Due to Port out fraud T-Mobile has placed many safeguards on accounts. One of those being pin number/password for the account. Going into someone's account without having it verified through T-Mobile's policy is 100% enough to get her fired no questions asked.
Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome that she's unlocking phones for people but the way she is doing it she would 100% lose her job if her name got out.
So for those who thought the Pm's did not go through... They did lol. I just woke up and updated the info for the person to unlock everyone's devices. Please note it may take some time, who knows how busy a work day could be for them. If it is any help, when I originally requested mine, I did so at 10pm (around then) and it was done the following day around 4pm. So thank you for all of your patience! I will be personally PMing all of you when each one is done.

I made sure a mod was contacted so they could get rid of anything with the previous links, or mentions of said individual.
just did mine, literally look an hour.
Yeah let me tell you. She is fast! A few errors for only 2 people that I know of so far. So they are looking into those. A few others did not show up in the system yet. So they are going to check tomorrow and I will keep you guys posted via PM about that.
