XTC Clip in Dublin

    As most proficient Android users, particularly those on a HTC Wildfire will know, there is no way to root 2.2 Froyo due to the manufacturer "locking down" the HBOOT.

    I am hoping to set S-OFF so that I can root the device. Hackers unrevoked are still working (we hope) on a software root, but the only alternative is a hardware root.

    Does anyone know of mobile shops/outlets in Dublin where I can get my HTC Wildfire, updated OTA via 3, rooted?

    I'm surprised there were no other posts on the forum, or the website, regarding this.

    (Or, does anyone know an alternative means that is working at the moment)

    20 euro, and I can meet you where ever you like in Dublin. Takes about 5 minutes to do - 10 if you want me to flash it with a rooted ROM as well. PM me if you're interested and we can arrange to meet somewhere
