How to debrand after S-OFF - HTC Sensation

Now that we have S-OFF how can we debrand our phones? Is it enough to flash the unbranded RUU? Or do we have to do it through recovery?

I would like to know this too, would like to remove the branding from my Sensation as well.

Download a custom rom.Any chance either of you can perform a backup in recovery and upload the recovery.img please

How is that supposed to help in debranding the phone??

ok
I installed leedroid, based on europe unbranded rom on my tmobile. i knew it before hand that would not debrand my phone, even then i did it.
i then tried to install ruu for the same version. got smae error 130 (not specific for device).
I noticed that installing leedroid did not update my baseband.(radio)
Maybe i'll try installing radio and see if it works.
Guys if anyone has any idea kindly help! we dont wana pay $30 for getting an ulock code, if it can be done on our own
S-off done
Clockworkmod
Perm Root
SuperCID installed
Update: Changed baseband as well did not work

Ok
I think the SuperCID posted in the DEV section is not working.
Because in the HTC desire Z section here, there is a post on how to debrand the phone.
and its pretty simple:
1-S off
2-CID Off
Flash any unbranded RUU from PC and good to go!
I have SuperCID installed but when i Flash RUU it give error 130 (Incoorect RUU for the Device).
So i guess SUper CID is not doing what its supposed to do

Here you go guys, I wrote up a guide in the dev section:

Thanks alexp999. Is there any difference with the SuperCID method? Is having ENG H-BOOT better? Noob questions, I know....

I prefer not changing cid, then I don't have to keep backup for warranty purposes. My method also doesn't require root.
Eng hboot is only temporary as it gets overwritten with shipped hboot when you flash the ROM from the ruu. Eng is only used to bypass cid check.

[Q] Anyway to change the CID without ADBtools?

Dear All,
I just S-off and rooted a HTC Sensation 4G the cid when it was S-offed and rooted was cidnum: T-MOB010. I have as a newbie had wiped my original stock ROM but I do have a backup. From what i read from the forum adb tools require you to setup the phone in USB debugging and change to charging mode. Right now I do not have a ROM installed. My question is , is there anyway I can change the CID to superCID so i can install any ROM. I'm trying to find ROMs to work on my htc but still no luck. I was wondering whether if I superCID'd it then i would have a better chance. THanks!
Don't think you can. You must use ADB. Sorry
Can you suggest a ROM for me if possible so at least I can install it and then change the CID. I was looking over virtuousrom where there is support for t-mob010
Thanks in advance for the help!

I'm not sure what that is, I don't live in US but if you need a great rom, I can suggest a few.

Virtuous Inquisition is a great senseless rom, i've been using it for a few months. Smooth and all.
But if you are a sense lover, you can go for InsertCoin

You need to SuperCID via ADB tools.
You can run the ADB commends required even if you do not have a ROM installed as it uses fastboot.
You do NOT need to have SuperCID in order to install and use a Custom ROM.
What does your Bootloader screen say at the moment ? As in have you still got GB compatible Firmware or ICS compatible Firmware ?
As the person above me said, you don't need to boot your phone in order to supercid it. Do what is said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and skip steps 5,6,7.
And to install a rom, you don't need to supercid... just install the firmware it asks you to install and then, install the rom. I'd recommend ARHD 6.3.0, get the firmware package for your cid from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 (just be sure to take the 3.30 one) and follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471941
P.S. Any rom is compatible with your CID as long as you have the right firmware package I think. (Just wait for someone to confirm what I'm saying, because I'm not sure)

Any custom ROM will work with any CID, assuming compatible firmware and radio. You need the "appropriate" CID to install RUUs. For example when I first got the phone the first thing I did was to change the CID and install a generic European RUU to debrand it.
EDIT: compatible firmware relates to the HBOOT version and has no relevance to the CID itself. There are compatible firmware/radio combinations. The appropriate Radio is included with the ICS firmware packs.
Note: If you revert back to 1.17 HBOOT for GB ROMs you'll need to flash an appropriate Radio. There is a thread in the dev section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178143
The reason there are so many CIDs mentioned in the firmware thread, is that many CIDs seem to have popped up for the Sensation and many folks didn't SuperCID. The reason in that thread for so many installs for groups of CID versions of the firmware, is that there appears to be a limit on the number of characters in the section that checks the CID. ALL the firmware downloads are the same (for the same HBOOT version), they just do different CID checks. If you're SuperCID and of them will work. I hope the explanation isn't too convoluted.
Does anyone know that if I can change the CID of my sensation z710a with ADB WIFI as the usb port is not working?Thanks.

Hi,
You are right.
1.27.000 is not currently supported.
You have to wait until it is...
No,there is no eta.
So basically I'm stuck with original firmware?
What can I do then, root? scid..? cwm?

Hi,
Yes,you can root and install CWM.
But you can only install ROMS with a 3.32 base(latest ICS)
So,6.6.2 is OK
Ok, thank you.
But I tried to flash the CWM taken from the guide thred putting the PG58IMG.zip in the root of the sd.
But when I start the bootloader it says wrong image...

Hi,
Try THIS ONE

My cid num, got with adb, is: VODAP102.
Should I insert it in android-info?
Should I super cid the phone before cwm?
Youre gonna have to unlock your bootloader by using htc's official method (google it). Then youll be able to install CWM and whatever else. There are limitations, theres a good guide in the development section about htc official bootloader unlocker. Read that before attempting.

Yes you will have to use the HTC Dev method right now if you want to flash a custom ICS ROM being as those are the only ones you will be able to flash with the Hboot you have. But know this ahead of time the HYC De. Unlock is very different then the Revolutionary unlock. Click the link in my sig to learn mote about the HTc Dev unlock and what it allows you to do. But if I was you I would just wait until Revolutionary supports Hboot 1.27.0000, or someone comes up with a Hboot downgrade for the Sensation cause the HTC Dev method does not fully unlock all portitions except the radio portition like Revolutionary does. Plus it leaves evidence your bootloader has been unlocked so HTC can say your warranty is void. Check out this post to as it gives a little more insight on HTC Dev unlock.
So to root the device I have to CWM it, to CWM it I need to unlock the bootloader?
But, If not rooted, unlocked nor CWModded, can I just install ARHD?
Ok, let's take it the other way round:
My phone is locked, hboot 1.27.0000, S-on, cid VODAP102 and not rooted, but last official stock ics.
Now I want to install last ARHD, what should I do and how??

To flash AHRD you will have to have a unlocked bootloader, either by HTC Dev method or by Revolutionary method. Now as stated by you, malybru, and myself we all know Revolutionary is not compatible with Hboot 1.27.0000 (as of right now), which your device currently has. So this leaves only the HTC Dev method. Now I personally agree with others here on XDA, I would normally stay far away from unlocking via HTC Dev. But seeing as you bought your Sensation new with Hboot 1.27.0000, you really have no other alternative but to wait for Revolutionary to update or for some other means of unlocking becomes available. Also if you do manage to downgrade your Hboot you will have to use HTC Dev to do it.
Now I am in no way saying you should use HTC Dev, nor am I advocating HTC Dev. I am just trying to inform you. What you do with your device is your choice and your choice only. But what ever you do, please post back here with your decision and if applicable any results.
Also if you was wondering why you have to use HT Dev to downgrade Hboot, read this post. Yeah I know it is for GB ROMs but I imagine the same probably holds true for ICS. I mean it is the HTC Dev unlock that allowsyou to downgrade in that senario. But what do I know.

Sure, exploit H.Boot 1.27.0000 for S-Off is revolution, new model of HTC phone is same like HTC_One
****ing S-ON policy HTC because you total locked us
And that is why HTC always following behind Samsung nowadays
I'm waiting XDA revolution
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and new nothing about rooting until a few days ago...quickly discovered the fact that Revolution does not support 1.27.
I unlocked with HTC DEV, ran recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img using Fastboot CLI.
After that I backed up my stock Vodafone ICS ROM using CWM then switched to the XDA guide for rooting with su-2.3.6.3 and followed rest of XDA guides for installing a ROM (really useful guides - Thanks!!)
Within an hour I had gone from stock Vodafone ICS to Virtuous Inquisition-v4.0.1
I'll admit I got hooked up on flashing recovery and was given some guidance by a friendly soul but figured the rest out from this forum..

[Q to EXP DEVs] S-on, cant do supercid, firmware 2.16 HELP

As the title says, im S-ON, firmware 2.16, cant get supercid to S-OFF and then run RUU. And im htc dev unlocked.
Before i got stuck with this, i had supercid following the steps posted in development section and then i S-OFF, but then i changed my cid to HTC__011 and S-OFF to S-ON. After that i couldnt revert it back to 11111111, i tried many roms, from maximushd to trickdroid (even tho im on 2.16 firmware from maximushd), and every time i change cid and boot in bootloader to check it, it always shows HTC__011 like its protected. I also tried locking my bootloader, but i couldnt flash RUU, i think its because of the firmware.
Now im stuck with s-on, firmware 2.16, htc cid which i cant change. So if someone knows, please help.... sorry for my english and Thanks!

if your firmware is higher then the one which is in the ruu.exe then you can't downgrade while on S-ON
you need to S-OFF for downgrade
AFAIK with your cid there is no ruu.exe with the same firmware as yours or higher
what about if you try create a goldcard first..then you can flashing different RUU that are already had a higher firmware version than yours..?, like this RUU maybe..or else that are already had 3.33.xxx.xx firmware?
don't forget to relock your bootloader first too..
You could also attempt to downgrade your misc partition that would allow you to flash a lower RUU as long as the hboot inside was not a gingerbread downgrade I think.

[Q] Juopunutbear HBOOT 1.27 Stock RUU

Hello guys. I'm new in this "world" and I need some help.
I have unlocked the bootloader using HTC Dev, I'm also root and I have 4EXT recovery.
I want to be S-off to be SuperCID, install firmware 3.33 universal and then install ROMs without problems.
The webpage of Juopunutbear says that I needd to have a stock RUU and no other ROMs are supported. I have Android 4.0.3 official, it was updated by the phone (I haven't changed anything, for now hehe). Can I use Juopunutbear? Is my Android a stock RUU? If not, how can I use Juopunutbear? I've been looking for Stock RUU but I haven't found any version equals or bigger than my build number (3.32). My sensation is a Vodafone Spanish phone.
Thank you!!!
