I have tried searching but cannot find anything relating to HTC Sensation...
I managed to S-Off my device.
When I try and run the RUU (RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_UK_1.24.161.1_Radio_10.39.9007.00P_10.11.9007.09_M2_release_190798_signed) it comes up with the attached error. Any ideas? No other applications are running, tried restarting PC. Running Windows XP Pro. Pretty standard PC but spec shouldn't matter should it?
Use the 1.27 Vodafone UK RUU if you wanna use a branded one:
http://insertcoin.dataninja.net/WIP...00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_191974_signed.exe
Trying to debrand it...
You may have to change the SuperCID if you haven't already done so.

Also, Android Development is the wrong section for this thread. Post in Q&A next time.
And you also need to use the 1.35.401.1 RUU
If you still get the errors with the other RUU, try the flash rom.zip method instead
In case if it helps anyone: This is caused because the installer can't extract the files. Probably there is not enough space in your TEMP. (Usually C drive)

Aye as Eddy suggests x.xx.401.x is the WWE ROM and unbranded. The one you are trying is the Vodafone UK ROM, x.xx.161.x and will have the Voda bloatware.
Change the CID to either SuperCID "11111111" or "HTC__001" (two underscores).

Hi everyone,
I got a branded Desire S (Vodafone Portugal) and I would like to change its CID in order to turn it unbranded. I have tried the fast boot method of "fastboot oem writecid HTC__001" and it gives me back an error as "COMMAND ERROR!!!" with no real specification of what error it is.
Is there a way that i can change the CID?

Yes I noticed it i already asked the moderation if they could move the thread to the Desire S section.
I need to find this out to? I dont want to root my Desire S, I just want to changde CID so i could put unbranded software to it...?
You can just create a GoldCard and make it work, without root or S-Off.
Earlier today I created a GoldCard and upgraded my DS using the European RUU and I'm S-ON & Unrooted.

Yes I know that works I have a Goldcard. The thing here is that I would like the phone to be completely unbranded without the need os special cards so in case i want to sell it or send it to warranty it won't be noticed that i changed something there. So if there is a way to re write de CID it would be good.
Well i actually successfully installed the unbranded european ROM 1.28.401.1 using the gold card. But now i can't receive OTA updates. Is there a way to get it to work?
Why don't you run the European RUU 2.10 version (RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed) from the following link:

Just to answer your question:
(I may need to be corrected on this one)
Based on my observation and experimentation. The CID that you are trying to change, or the CID that the RUU is checking is actually on the build.prop on your phone.
Code:
ro.aa.maincid
But there are two checks that I've observed. Even though you changed the maincid, the corresponding cwkey should be changed accordingly.
cwkey created on your phone corresponds on what is on the build.prop and I believe is also being checked by RUUs.
And maybe just to be on the safe side, RUUs do check what is on your build.prop. If they are not what your RUU wants, it will not push through. Hence, you need a GoldCard.
I myself don't exactly, by codes, know how the GoldCard bypasses the checks. All I do know, is that it works.

So what that means is the phone has to stay branded? There is no way that we can fully unbrand the phone by changing the CID?
And after we use the Goldcard what happens to the CID of the phone?

The goldcard does not alter the CID. It just tells the bootloader to ignore the CID check when running a RUU.
One way to alter the CID is to XTC clip the phone.
Well i ended up doing what you all suggested and flashed the RUU with the 2.10 european rom with the goldcard in it.
But something went wrong and my Desire S is in a strange situation. For some reason the Goldcard did not work like the first time and gave me a CID error. But it flashed the hboot 2.00.0002 but retained the 1.28 rom i had installed on it. I have used the HTCDev method to unlock the bootloader but everytime i try to flash the 1.28 RUU again (to flash the old hboot again) it gives me an "unknown error" that is actually a security error.
Is there a way to get the old hboot back?

My reply to this post of yours is already a hint.
Use search PLEASE.
Hi guys,
I am new here, so maybe I missed something.
Anyway, I followed the tutorial step-by-step to unlock my HTC Desire S which I got today (so it has a 2.x bootloader) like stated here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636
But I can't seem to install any RUU cause of "Error 131", as told in the tutorial, I must use the RUU for my specific region.
So, my Region is Germany and my phone is from o2.
So first I used
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe

because Germany is in Europe. And the only GER RUU is from "TMO" which may mean "T-Mobile" I guess. But it didn't work.
Next I thought "**** that ****" and I tried to flash (after repeating all tutorial steps):
RUU_Saga_TMO_DE_1.30.111.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_178580_signed.exe

But it still shows up "Error 131"... so now I am depressed. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you very much

Hi there,
You need to flash the RUU that is supported by your phone's version.
Turn the phone into fastboot mode (voldown + power), click fastboot, wait till it shows fastboot usb.
Open console in PC and find the android tools, type:
<androidtool dir>\ fastboot getvar all
It should come up as: INFOversion etc.
What you need to look for is INFOversion-main and INFOcidnum
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
and download the RUU that matches!
If you've S-OFF'd the phone with Revolutionary, then RUU will have some problems with overwriting the bootloader, follow this guide to re S-ON.

Very helpful reply buddy.
But i don't think the last line applies to him. He said he just got the phone, and it had the v2.xxx hboot to begin with, so he went looking to downgrade. If he had acheived S-off, he wouldn't be asking how to S-off in the first place.
@OP : You should try using a Goldcard when faced with a difficult choice of Region-specific RUUs. Try making one (Use Search function) and then re-running the European RUU. (You may also have to check your Misc_version to ensure compatibility, or you may hit a roadblock again.
Hi,
I just wanted to confirm for further searches / use that what has been stated inside the first answer is fully working.
I got my Desire S downgraded, S-OFFed and was able to flash MIUI, so it's finding it's way to my girlfriend as birthday present soon thank you for helping.

Goto http://www.4shared.com/folder/jKN2qjTl/HTC_Ville_RUU_Collection.html
I think there are a few T Mobile RUUs there. On the second page there is
RUU_Ville_U_TMOUS_1.84.531.2_R2_Radio_0.16.31501S.16_2_10.22.31501
which likely should work.
On the first page there is also an upgraded RUU for T Mobile
RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_TMOUS_2.35.531.7_Radio_1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04
If your OK with an upgrade go for that one. Just remember it may upgrade your bootloader and radio. If you wanted to flash older radios after that, you would have to go through a more complicated bootloader downgrade.
Those should work.
AKToronto
actually the ruu i have downloaded that says its the wrong model is exactly the following
RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_TMOUS_2.35.531.7_Radio_1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L_release_279577_signed
as Ive looked inside its ROM this ruu is for t-mob010 not for t-mob102. and i guess thats why it fails.
what now?
Ive realized my phone loses signal from time to time and after a research i found out that upgrading to that specific version will solve the problem, but right now i cant really get into it coz i don't know the exact RUU to use.
the process i tried to do this is
1.i tried the normal way
-boot into fastboot
-relock the bootloader
-reboot to fastboot again
-run the ruu
-got error 130
2.i tried without locking the bootloader
the same process
-got error 155
i dont know if im missing something here, im new to android and all the flashing stuffs, any help would be appreciated.
So, I've found out that T-MOB102 refers to T-Mobile Austria, and I should be looking for one with this signature x.xx.112.x.
Still I haven't found any with the signature for ONE S.
Any Suggestions?
still nothing on the TMA T-MOB102 T-Mobile Austria RUU.
I've tested every RUU in Here: filefactory.com/f/cf061f69b5bf7878/
None of them were mine, how is it possible that there's no RUU made for my phone type.
Should I Change my CID? Is It possible?

So I think you have two options. One is CID, or two is to keep trying to find that RUU.
1. There is a link to Super CID instructions in the dev forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1671643
-Do read a bit of the thread. You can still only flash a RUU that has a bootloader version equal or higher than what is on your phone.
2. If there is a RUU that you think exists that Football has not posted in his thread, than I suggest PM ing him. Thats how I was able to get the three Bell Mobility RUUs onto FileFactory. He was pretty helpful when I PMed him myself.
Cheers,

I am having some troubles with finding the proper RUU for my phone.
I have a dutch vodafone branded phone which I rooted and flashed with CWM. I am still on 1.53 and i want to upgrade to 1.78 because of the home-screen button bug. I hope the OTA update fixes it.
In order to update my phone, I need to revert to stock and therefore I need the original shipped RUU .
Can i use the "RUU_Ville_U_Vodafone_UK_1.78.161.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258386_signed" ? I know this is UK version but there seems to be no NL version and my phones also downloads OTA_VIlle_U_Vodafone_UK_1.78 itself. So I figured i could also use the UK RUU. Is this correct?
Thank you in advance.
Anybody who knows the answer?

Well you should probably Run the RUU.exe without connecting the phone. When it runs, it places a "firmware.zip" in a temporary folder (please search for the exact location of the temporary folder as I don't exactly remember it). Open the firmware.zip file to view its contents. It should have a "android-info.txt". Open it and you'll see the supported CID. If it matches with your phone CID, you're good to go.
To get your phone CID, use CID GETTER from store. It shows CID in red at the top of the app.

Thank you. I read about that but I couldn't find the firmware.zip. I took a guess and it turned out that the RUU is correct. So for other dutch users on this forum: I can confirm that 1.78 UK Vodafone RUU works on dutch vodafone branded phones.
Hi guys,
I would like some help with flashing a Stock RUU onto my desire s.. I have gotten it S-On and removed revolutionary.
You can see my phoneinformation from adb below i attached it. Hboot 0.98 and a T-MB101 branding.. Build(main) 2.10.401.5 german phone
The problem is I cannot find any RUU to flash which will work for my Phone (I open them as admin)
I have tried the TMO 1.3.111.1 with the RUU error 140
I have tried the 2.10.401.5 and 8 and 9 builds for EU but they all give me error 131 (as they are not for branded phones?)
What can I do know what RUU could work how do I get the TMO to work? Are there any more RUUS I could even try to use? Should I try a Goldcard? Any Ideas? Thanks guys..
Please Help
