What is XTC Clip PAYG - RED ?
The XTC PAYG Clip Red is ideal for end users who just want to S-OFF / Unlock / Debrand their HTC with any rom available on the internet.
This clip allows the user to do this job themselves from home without having to mail their phone into us, or buy the much more expensive XTC clip.
Each XTC Pay As You Go, comes loaded with 1 credit, if you need additional credits you have to purchase them.
The hardware works stand alone, you must connect the clip to your PC to recharge more credits, but as soon the clip is recharged, it works standalone, without PC!
In case you like the clip and would like to unlock more phones, no problem, you can make it unlimited Later, or buy the fully activated XTC clip.
The hardware is 100% identical with the XTC clip, you only can distinguish it by the colour, as the XTC Pay As You Go is RED.
To make it short, XTC Black is a unlimited clip, XTC Pay As You Go is red and a Prepaid clip !
Features
XTC PAYG Red Clip comes preloaded with 1 unlock credit, this credit will allow you to unlock / s-off 1 phone.

What is S-OFF?
Temproot and Permaroot - What's the difference?
First, let me explain root access. Root access, superuser or su (all the same thing) is basically an admin account for Linux. It gives us permission to to access commands that normally couldn't be accessed, and to write information to partitions that normally couldn't be written to. On older devices (such as the Hero), once we had root we could write to the /system and /recovery partitions, and flash custom ROMs. In the case of the IS (and every HTC device since the desire), this isn't true. Getting root access is quite trivial and no where near as useful, because the internal flash memory (NAND or eMMC) is locked down and it means we everything we 'write' to the system (or any other protected partition) is lost on reboot because it is a non permanent change. In short, this stops us from flashing custom ROMs and recovery. This is a problem for any devices that are shipped with the Security flag on (S-ON). To get Permaroot, and the ability to flash custom ROMs, we need S-OFF.
So what's this S-OFF then? Making the phone S-OFF with XTC clip, means also that you reset the simlock, userlock and CID to factory state !!! Mean, your phone is 100% UNLOCKED
Since the Desire, HTC have been securing their phones better than before by locking the internal flash memory (NAND or eMMC) to stop it being written to, unless the file being flashed is signed by a private key only known to HTC. This is controlled by a flag (@secuflag) and is identified as the device being S-ON. Telling the HBoot the device is Security Off (S-OFF) stops this check for the key, and allows us to write anything to any partition, which is what we are aiming for.
see People looking for S-OFF: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939801
There are actually two levels of S-OFF. The Bootloader (HBoot) and the Radio. Getting S-Off on the HBoot gives us everything we need, but doesn't actually turn off the @secuflag which is set in the radio. What it is possible to do is to flash a HBoot that believes the Radio is set to S-OFF, as the HBoot is responsible for setting that flag. Once the HBoot on the phone is S-OFF, we can write to all the partitions and basically do whatever we want, but it is possible to go one step further. Flashing a radio that is S-OFF and actually setting the @secuflag off gives 100% total access to every part of the phone and it's software, as it becomes network unlocked allowing to you to use any SIM and also allows you to flash a ROM from any carrier (known as Super CID). It also makes it nigh on impossible to permanently loose root no matter what you flash. Once you have radio S-OFF, it makes it much easier to flash new HBoots and ROMs even if you flash something that is locked down tight.
Setting the Radio to S-Off is not necessary, and gaining S-OFF on the HBoot is more than most people will ever need. Radio S-Off is just the last step of the puzzle, but it is worth noting the only points you can permanently brick your phone is flashing a radio or a HBoot, if either of these go wrong you will end up with a shiny expensive paper weight so there is risk involved.
What about this XTC Clip, can that help? The XTC clip is a hardware device that can unlock S-OFF HTC phones, regardless of the software.
S-OFF created by XTC Clip is temporary or permanent?
You can flash your phone as many times you want, your HTC will remain S-OFF forever, it is a permanent S-OFF !!!
