I am trying to unbrand my HTC Inspire and was looking for some help. Does anyone have any suggestions?
1) Root it and change the ROM to one of the many choices offered in this forum
2) If the AT&T logo in the back bothers you then get a nice case for it.

What do you mean by un-brand? Are you talking about taking the AT&T logo off the back, or take all the AT&T bloat ware off the phone and sim unlock it?
Unbrand the rom not the phone.

I am about to buy a HTC Sensation. However, my provider (Swisscom, Switzerland) offers it only with Branding. Is there a way I can flash such a branded device with the original ROM from HTC? Is it available anywhere? Will I have problems because of the signed bootloader? Thanks in advandace for any help!
Currently, the goldcard method doesn't seem to be working. That's the only way to flash an official ROM without having an unlocked bootloader.
So, currently, sadly no way to do it. Hopefully when HTC release an unlocked bootloader for it, we will see changes.

Do you know whether HTC is planning to do so at all? I heard they wanted to make future bootloaders unsigned, but will the Sensation get an "Update" or something like that to have it unsigned?
I asked HTC about how and when the bootloader will be unlocked and they just tweeted me back saying "Good question. More specific details will be shared soon."
So yeah... :/

Hello,
Got a HTC Sensation from Swisscom and I'm wondering the same, any news on this?
I tried an update found on the forum: version 1.35.401.1, tried to install and said 'wrong client id'... Didn't update.
Just sent a request to HTC customer support to know if I'll get the OTA... But I don't expect much from this.
If I can't unlock and root this phone I'm gonna get rid of it and will never get a HTC again, that's one sure thing. Already regret having bought it, should have waited for it to be unlocked first!

You'll have to wait for HTC to unlock the bootloader (or for AlphaRev to do that before HTC). Expect HTC do provide the full unlock in September.
PS. I bought it unbranded meanwhile.
Hey, I was wondering what does it mean to debrand a phone? I noticed a lot people mention debranding and I am wondering what is it and what does it do?
Also, should I do? Will it make a difference if I ever want to install Cyanogenmod if that ever comes out?
Btw I am a Tmobile HTC Sensation owner if that makes any difference
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090503022231AA5ryws
that's all i can help you !
Ahh makes sense, so say I debrand my phone, and it removes an app or a program that I do find myself using, say "lookout" or "qik" can I just download them from the marketplace?
Also, Is there any point in debranding if I plan on installing Cyanogenmod?
You can install lookout from the market. However, I'm not sure about qik, as it's branded as "Tmo video chat by qik" on the market.
I'm debranded tmous...yes qik is available on the market as are all tmobile crapware apps except telenav.
yep id like to know this also, Is there any point in debranding if I plan on installing Cyanogenmod?
i have a sensation have turned S-off and downloaded opensensation if my phone has vodafone branding ie splashscreen etc will install cyanogen sensation ics rom debrand the phone also? or do i need to do the whole cid change thing and then install an RUU like in step 19 here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
Thanks in advance!
If you install cm9 or cm7 you will get an ubranded phone software user interface wise

Any joy?
I've got an HTC Sensation XE (GSM) on Orange UK. Intelligently, I didn't back up the stock ROM before flashing a new one on there. Anyone know how I might get hold of the Orange branded ROM for my phone? Failing that just a stock HTC ROM? Feel pretty let down by a few apps refusing to work on a rooted phone.

Just a quickie (they are sometimes best )
I have an HTC HD2 and I have had it unlocked to any network, I am now on O2 from T-Mobile.
I want to know if I update the Rom with the legit one from the HTC website, will the phone still be unlocked, or does it revert it back to the original network?
Thank you and help appreciated

You are fine once you SIM unlock a phone it is permanently unlocked so you can flash any rom you want to.
Thank you, you are very kind.

The only ROM I know if is a European one that you'll find in the dev section which as you rightly pointed out, is no good for our devices. I have not seen any news yet on a stock USA ROM. I think many of us here with ATT, Bell, Rogers, etc would like to get our hands on it but it just does not exist as of now. Considering how popular the 8X is supposed to be, it's surprising but unfortunately the reality.
Keep your fingers crossed. Maybe something soon...
I want to join this request. I have c625b (TELSTRA, Australia, pm233...).

There are some unbranded Asian ROMS that have leaked as well. Perhaps those will work better? They are over on the Dark Forces Team forums.
can i flash my at&t 8x with europe rom? or it brick the phone or just the lte stop working?
+1 for this - have a verizon one which I'm using on t-mobile
+1. At&t Engineering unit here. Would like to go back to stock
I would love the stock TMOUS Rom v1532.20.20010.531 or later! This ROM enables Wi-Fi Calling for us T-mobile customers!
Anyone here could help us?
I Have an HTC 8X, Model C625a. I want to know if is posible to flash it, beocuse i am thinking about release it, so i can install applications that are not from the windows online store. I could try by the Microsoft way (Registering it as a Developer/Development Phone using a Windows Live ID) or by the other way, using an application to Jail Break it.
If is the case, and the Jailbreaker Application breakes the Windows Phone System, i want to know what posibilities do i have of repair it. Could I do a hard reset to the phone to restore the original system? or Do i Have an other way to install applications.
The Carrier is Rogers Canada, but is unlocked working with Cubacel
Sorry if the message has some spell errors, I am cuban and I am learning english now
AT&T 8X, looking for HTC stock rom
Hello,
I'm also looking to unbrand my ATT HTX 8X, the model is PM23300. I couldn't find any rom for it. I'm using the phone in Canada, so i need a north american rom.
Thank you for helping!
Dear friends. I believe there's a lot of people having STUCK IN GEARS problems with their phones. Is it possible for a good soul to dump the stock rom so we can play with and try to fix our phones???
