Just wondering if anyone had managed to debrand a Desire S.
Have made a goldcard and ran the RRU however I get a bootloader error.
Not really interested in rooting or installing custom ROMs just want rid of the Vodafone crappy.
Thanks

I hope I'm right, but i think you need s-off too for debrand :/.

Waht kind of crap?
Bootanimation/splash is hard to remove.
To delete apps from Vodafon or apps from htc (amazonmp3, navi preinstalled) you have to root - after rooting they are "normal" apps to uninstall.
root:
1) s-off your phone (should have be done with your gaoldcard)
2) search for onclickroot here on xda
done
Hmm.. is your desire s s-off? If yes then just flash the original HTC ROM Ruu! Just look it up in this forum! For me it worked well! Even my T-Mobile splashscreen disappeared!

Out of curiosity what is your SKU and P/N on the box as i purchased an O2 desire s and it came with generic firmware and unlocked. Although i think i got lucky.

Gosh...

i want to flash stock europe rom with all languages, ive been searching this forum, but im not sure what to do... please advise me.
thank you
tried ship saga rom RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed didn´t work-->error
i have created goldcard, but im not sure what to do.. if I need s-off or root...
Just install the ics ruu off the hec dev website. That will remove the branding.
But unfortunately HTCDEV ICS for desire S has bugs... like link clicks on SMS and other stuff, from what i have read.
It is not possible just to install a WWE rru like "RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed" with the a goldcard inserted on the phone? If what it is needed is just to unbrand the phone, without having root or other stuff... or is it need to Hboot S-OFF unlock from HTCDEV? please advise.

Edit: from fastboot i got CId = VODAPD18 which it means Vodafone Portugal. Is it possible to run above RRU + goldcard with no / little risk of bricking ?

Here new RUU for Chacha

Enjoy!
Thanks. I was able to apply it on my french azerty chacha with a goldcard : no issue with the azerty
hey men, can you provide a tutorial to make goldcard for the chacha (orange france pack)
that would be nice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954723
Once the goldCard crated, what next ? Just launch the exe update file ?
yes Very good rom, no issue since yesterday ...
Done !
Nothing special to note, testing
Any screen shots guys?
or does it have any screen capture?
What is the difference with the standard ROM?
H football,
No news for a new european build ?
Thanks
- If I apply this RUU, will it change the HBOOT/SPL as well (to S-OFF)?
- What's the difference from the standard ROM?
The SPL (S-OFF) part would be especially nice, as I saw people complaining here that they can't root their device (the ones which have S-ON can't be rooted).
Thanks!

Again, this won't give you s-off, only developer builds will do that (I think) which are internal to HTC and won't be leaked ever.
Hi,
I have an HTC ChaCha which i got from Dubai... It seems to be an Europe Edition.. I tried to load this ROM into it and i got an ERROR.
It said wrong CID or something.. I believe this is an upgrade to the version that is present on the phone...
Can somebody help me with what to do..
Also it says S-ON in the bootloader...
Will htcdevs Unlock Bootloader work to S-OFF it??
Is there any method available, simillar to Sensation and EVO 3D for ChaCha..??
Thx in advance..

Unfortunately it has been said over and over again, s-off is possible with an XTC clip at the moment. If you want you can wait for HTC to unlock the bootloader (which will take some time) or alpharev.
You can either buy an XTC clip or find a local gsm shop that has one and will s-off your phone. Afterwards you can put the rom on it.

And i have got my reply..Thanks a lot...
Hi Guys,
I am running my phone on android 2.3.5 and hboot version 2.00.00.2. I was exploring on the net, how to root android but could just find that the hboot version on htc desire s has to be 0.98.0000 which is suported on revolution.io website. Is there any other way to s-off my phone to go for rooting.
Thanks in advance for your help.

unlock your bootloader via htcdev site
and than just flash superuser from recovery
Hi guys, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but just to avoid making an unnecessary one, I thought I'd ask my question here.
I've been looking at htcdev, and I understand that it doesn't officially support the ds, but it works. It's probably a stupid noob question, but assuming I select 'desire' on HTC's drop down menu, how imperative is it that I get the exact RUU? There isn't one listed for my provider (o2 uk). Googling, and searching on a few forums has turned up nothing, but my software details are:
2.3.5 with sense 3.0
Soft. Num. 2.10.401.8
I was under the impression the 3 digit string pertained to the provider, and o2 tends to use x.xx.701.x.
Is it completely necessary to find a specific RUU, or is the region the only real important factor? Would the HTC eu one be suitable?
Thanks in advance for your help guys. Never got.round to rooting my old desire, but 'upgraded' to the s before I realised it wasn't as easy to root!

Not happening on xda I think. There was a similar thread started here not long ago, and it got shot down pretty fast.

Hi.
Unbranding and unsimlocking are two different things.
You can already unbrand your phone, and i removed simlock from mine by calling my phone company customer service 3 months after buying it.
There probably is a method, algoryrhm or something else, involving hexediting one of the blocks, but no one has found it yet.
I tried to follow an old one s method but htc changed their system... It's not working any more, even on up-to-date one s's.
I don't know about anywhere else, but here in France you can remove simlock 3 months after buying a phone, for free.

Ohh, nice to hear, cause I found this phone in France, it was Bouygues Telecom, so that means when I call them I can ask for the code?

I think that the ruu will say that it isn't supported on your devices or image. Why don't you just a rom or another rom?
Hi Guys,
i have bought as second hand used an htc one mini. I live in Italy, so no Us.
The device report the following info, made by the previous owner:
TAMPERED
RELOCKED
M4_UL PVT S-OFF RL
CID-VODAP102
HBOOT-2.19.0000
RADIO 1.20.40d.00.05
It has TWRP recovery and Android 4.2.2.
I would like to restock it, deleting "tampered" and "relocked"
anybody that can help me please? thank you in advance

It's possible when you have s-off, change you CID to correct with this RUU, but I don't know if it's works well. Should be..but not guarantee.
Maybe you could the at&t ruu by changing the cid to the at&t so that you could flash the ruu. I'm not sure if it'll work though.
