hellooo. Baught an OEM HTC miniusb to 3.5 mm stereo converter for my g1. Tried headset/speaker widget. no go. When i plug the headphones (with adapter of course) no sound out of headphones. Any ideas or fixes for this? Thanks
what radio do u have
stock radio version. think the newest radio would make any bit of difference for this matter? when i hear "radio" i imagine the part of the phone that gives signal.. am I wrong?
just flashed newest radio. didnt fix a thing.
did a bit more research.. and realized that the adapter i have - although HTC OEM - is only 5-pin, and to my knowledge I am in need of an extUSB --> 3.5mm
So... would THIS http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-EXTUSB-TO-3...d255487e5&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_2389wt_1165 Be the correct thing for my g1?
Also, Would THIS http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-11-Pin-to-3...5a2d3d8ee&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_3568wt_1083 Work? Anybody ever used one? Looks kinda huge..
my OEM htc adapter wont work by itself. I use the headset toggle widget and it works perfect. You insert your adapter and click the widget twice.

dude be cool... your dream should have come with an adapter when you bought it. if anything, go to frys buy the HTC adapter they sell. make sure you dont buy one made for blackberry or samsung. HTC makes one that they sell.... it may be the one you bought and you may have just gotten one with a bad pin. happened to me before
on a better note. i hope you get it working, i know it can be frustrating when you have a fine piece of technology like the dream and want it to work at its full potential

<obsolete now> my opinion about getting XTC Clip JUST ONLY to get S-OFF for IS ASAP
Hi,
I'm writing this, because I get the feeling some of us are considering buying the XTC Clip JUST because they want to get S-OFF asap (like me ).
Fist I must say that I don't want to shed a bad light on this tool.
I really think that it's definitely a great product!
It does support many / all* (*by future updates) HTC phones and provides "hardware" s-off + unlock.
However, for the clip to work with a newer device such as the Incredible S, the XTC Clip needs to first get an update that supports this specific model.
That's another plus for the XTC Clip, since support for it seems to be great.
They release frequent updates for newer phones and HBOOT versions, which come for free and having read a bit in the official forums it seems to me that they really care about their customers in that if there are problems, they help you out and even help you if you got problems with some shops where you bought the item.
BUT, and that's only my point of view, which might prove to be wrong, I really got the feeling by now, that the XTC Clip update for our IS won't be publicly available BEFORE there's another method for getting our device S-OFF.
I came to that conclusion when I read posts with some explanations for why the update hasn't been released yet.
Raskal says it depends on the market situation and also mentions he probably won't release it before someone else (competing products) does.
So these products, the XTC Clip and the "others", are widely used for sim unlocking the phones.
But those competing products are not able to do the same "hardware" S-OFF which only the XTC Clip is capable of.
They can only do it when there's a software hack available.
Also when you take a look at the update history of the XTC Clip for android phones, you'll see that new devices were added only AFTER there was a "software" S-OFF hack released.
For example the HTC Glacier and the Ace were both added at the very end of December, while it was possible to s-off both of them since early November.
The HTC Espresso was able to get s-off since December, while the update for the XTC Clip was released in January.
While it seems that totally NEW models are added only after another method to get S-OFF has been discovered, there are also (later) HBOOT versions of some devices, which are still impossible to S-OFF while the XTC Clip can do it!
An example is the HTC Legend, where the XTC Clip is capable to s-off even hboot 1.1.
I really hope that I'm wrong, but I have cancelled my order and I'll definitely wait and not buy the Clip until an update is released that supports the Incredible S and even then I'll buy it ONLY IF by that time there's still no software s-off hack released.
After all I'm not interested in sim unlocking or selling any services based upon that device. But that's just me.
Nice opinion, But i have a question. If u get a software s-off from some1 like unrevoked, what exactly is the need to buy an xtc clip. Idon need a sim unlock. My fone never had one. So only reason i would buy one is for s-off, which i cant do anyway cuz im only 15.
Btw, a little off topic. If i open my brand new, sealed and untouched IS package box, and i find that is does not have a sim lock, does this mean it might not be s-on ? How can i check?

XTC Clip can do much more than just S-OFF your phone. For example debrand, sim unlock and when there are newer HBOOT versions released which can't be S-OFFed it seems likely XTC Clip will be able to do it.
S-OFF and sim unlock are different things.
If you bought your phone in a retail store and didn't get it from your carrier provider it's not sim locked.
If you got it from your carrier provider I don't know how to check if it's sim locked other than inserting a sim card from another provider and check.
But maybe it's also possible to check somewhere in the bootloader/fastboot, I don't know..
Hmmm... I see ... Do you kno how to open the bootloader ? Something like power button + volume up ... I want to see what it says ... Maybe mine is unlocked like that dude over at the other thread ... I wanna check ...
EDIT : nvr mind ... Saw ur answer on the other thread... Thnx bro ... Ill check now ...

Don`t bother with XTC CLIP guys !!!
I bought it just recently and it WON`T work with INC S !!!!! The reason being the seller does not feel like releasing the unlock yet........ eventhough we paid a fee to purchase it.....
I repeat , I have the INC S and I bought the XTC Clip for unlocking the INC S, but it will NOT work, so don`t waste your money like I did ........
Any can PM me and I can show you the proof why it`s not working !!!!
Can some1 clear somethn up for me? Is s-on what we call nand lock?

I think it's because the cat and mouse game played
mabey raskal won't put his cards to early on the desk
just to prevent htc from taking countermeasure in a early stage.
and I say the clip is a killer so be patient and relax
Where did you read, that the xtc-clip can get you s-off on Incredible S?
Was it promised? No. So dont buy it and complain it cannot do it.
I certainly wont buy a car and complain that it cannot fly ...

Of course it WILL work! It already does, it's just a matter of time.
BTW: when I'm not mistaken the Wildfire can't be software S-OFFed anymore since the new update, but XTC Clip can
So also if it's not the real purpose of this great tool, for people like me who would just use it to S-OFF their phones, it might still prove useful when newer HBOOT versions get released

If you read the forums the owner of XTC CLIP published everywhere his XTC CLIP can succesfully turn Inc S, S-OFF.....since mid March.....
I am fed up with this issue ....anyway
As of yet , XTC CLIP is NOT working, how I know it ? because I own one.
Yes for sure it will work sometime, but when that time comes I will be already using my HTC Sensation or HTC Evo 3D or both .....

How you know it works ? Do you have one ? Nope , so you just assume it works because Raskal tells you guys it works.
Secondly, if it`s really working , it`s a matter of time for you guys because , Raskal asked you guys to PUBLISH and UPLOAD 50 NEW videos of XTC CLIP unlocking otherwise he threated you all he will NOT release the unlock .
Well I am not like some people and will never suck up to somebody especially if I already paid for something, we`re not getting this XTC CLIP for free, we paid for it so why need to suck up and upload 50 new videos ....
As I said, ofcourse XTC CLIP will work sometime , but that time there will be also other methods to S-OFF the Inc S ...

That's simply not true at all!! Where did he ever say that? He just offered to release the update immediately i.e. "sooner" if people worked together and make some videos for the support forum.
He never said that he will only release it if/when there are 50 new videos.
Quite the opposite is true. He promised to release the update (multiple times). And that was regardless if there will be 50 new videos or not.
50 movies sounds a bit much, but it isn't. Just imagine those customers running shops, or at least using the Clip commercially (most of them are). It's easy for them to make some movies as they get a hold of many mobiles + it doesn't take much time.
However he will release the update anyhow.
Now he's talking about 2days to 2 weeks for the update to be released together with a new product launch.

Look my friend , you sound like a young and passionate guy and please learn some facts of life from us, more experinced guys.
1) You should never ever believe what you hear from other people and announce it as REAL without verying it !!!!!! This is one of the biggest mistakes made in the business life.
You are saying: He that, He this, He said, He will, He would have, He might
As you can see those are not CERTAIN because you hear from somebody in this virtual world wide web , but what I am saying is CERTAIN,
because I own one and it`s not working as of yet !!!
So people should not waste this money hoping one day , you guys will publish new 50 videos in Youtube so that he will release the S-OFF for the INC S, ......
The guy is clever as I told you in the other forum link and this link , he knows it`s not easy to upload 50 brand new videos on Youtube and etc because :
On the XTC Clip Users manual it says that.....
The XTC CLIP can NOT be used if :
- that the phone is ROOTED,
- that the phone has a COOKED ROM
- that the phone has NOT it's original RADIO.
- the phone is connected to computer via usb cable
Can you tell me who would have a phone that fits outside of this category , therefore the 50 new videos will never be completed !!! You need Virgin phones for this XTC Clip to work...... Somebody said , if you flash everything back to it`s original state, it will work, OK, who`d spend time to flash back to original of his phone and take a video for the XTC CLIP ?
Ok you`re a snowboarder and you goto your nearest car dealer and buy yourself a brand new 4x4 SUV to drive you to the mountains., when you drive the car to the mountains, you realise that this car is only 4x2 , then goto your dealer and ask him WTF ? What would you do if the seller says , sorry, producer decided to NOT add the 4x4 into this car although this car is a SUV and mentioned 4x4, and the producer will add 4x4 sometime, so just go and post NEW videos of this car in Youtube and if producer get enough videos uploaded then we will add the 4x4 into the car.
Also do not forget that , it`s me who pushed him to release the S-OFF for the INC S, if it wasn`t me, you all would be still asking, "Dear Your Highness, Sir, Master Raskal, when will you release the INC S , S OFF" I am the only reason he is pushed and then he said that he has a new idea , why don`t you guys publish 50 news videos for me.
The seller himself announced in many forums that his XTC CLIP can succesfully S-OFF the Inc S but in reality it does not , ue to seller not releasing the unlock as of yet for an unknon reason to us.....
Same story .....
That`s the reason I am pissed , I don`t want to talk about this subject , this is probably my last message on this topic , unless somebody pushes me to into replying.. People should learn from their mistakes and move on !!!

I will do my best to learn of your wisdom
But in the meanwhile:
Take a look at the Update log for the XTC Clip. It was exactly the same each time a new smartphone was released.
Most of the time a (s-off) hack was discovered FIRST and soon after that, the update was released.
Why do you think it will be different this time and there won't be an update?
a) First and foremost, this really has nothing to do with development, it belongs in the general forum.
b) The XTC clip does not unlock the Incredible S because is not yet supported. It may be supported in a future update.
Arguing about it won't help but using a device to bypass the log certainly doesn't belong in the dev forum.

Do a nandroid, flash with an official rom, use the clip, apply update.zip to get into clockwork, nandroid, done;
However, from your side of view, you wouldn't need the Clip anyway when you already got root

You can replace a motherboard but can't handle root?
replacing the motherbord shouldnt affect the actual software so yes im pretty sure you will still be rooted.
to be honest though i would just get a new phone because i know motheboards arnt cheap.
well, I did get a new phone a while ago. got the evo 4g. but this hero just keeps bugging me, so kind of more for fun, I want to give this a go. I already ordered the motherboard on ebay. 30 bucks plus shipping. I saw a video on youtube and replacing it looks fairly simple. It is going to take a couple of weeks for it to get here, but will post back and let you know how it turns out.

No, you will need to root again. The android software is stored of the motherboard. So putting in a new one will be like getting a new phone, minus new parts on the outside.
If the motherboard you bought is used, then whatever the previous user had on it, then that's what you would find. Hope this helps.

ha proved me wrong lol. either way rooting shouldnt be a problem just z4 that bad boy and itll be up and running in no time
ah, that makes sense now. well it is a new motherboard. found two sellers on ebay both of which have a small supply for 30 bucks each. okay so I start over once I have it. many thanks
I know it has been a while, but just to finalize, got this hero working like a charm. changing the mother board was the easy part. the trick was finding the right sprint store that would get msl code and make everything match up between the new mother board and the phone. they have to actually change codes in their data base or you will not get service.
Damn, you should have asked -- I have a couple extra heroes from friends who move on.
wow, thanks. You know it was one of those things that you brake and get some redemption when you fix it.

Hi all,
This is a stab in the dark for some help, I got a HTC ONE some time ago and think its the best phone I have ever seen, but I have never used it and it has stayed in its box as it does not work with my setup.
I have an appradio head unit for the car and I use arliberator app plus a mhl adapter to mirror my phone onto the screen in my car, at the moment I use the S4 and have also used the S3 with no issues what so ever. I tried to use the HTC but it just wont work, well it will work great as long as I dont put my vodafone sim card in the HTC, as soon as I put the sim card in I get snow issues. By snow I mean a fuzzy screen not that it starts snowing!
I have tried various roms but all the same result, I have been on the arliberator forum and I seem to be the only one having this issue, I did spend atleast £200 on various different MHL adapters and even got the HTC Media link, the media link worked but does not mirror the phone screen.
Any suggestions before I reluctantly put the HTC on ebay?

Sounds like defective hardware, particularly if you can't find other reports of this issue online. Try returning the phone or having it serviced.

I was using my HTC One yesterday recording a lecture when it overheated and refused to turn on any longer. I've tried charging it with different cables and different outlets (USB in computer included) and the only recognition I get is that it shows qhsusb_dload in the device manager. I don't what to do to fix this; one of my friends stumbled upon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226445), but if it works, I have no idea how to do anything since I didn't root my phone. Anyone have any tips?
EDIT: A bit more information: it's a locked HTC One on Rogers Network in Canada.

Sadly that isn't possible.. your phone is properly hard bricked, so if you want any of your data back, you'll have to have someone with a jtag box unbrick it for you.. That will cost you cash, and that defeats the whole purpose of getting a replacement phone..
