Changing brand firmware - HTC Sensation

hello.
Please, help me. I'm total noob and i don't understand the most of your's words, but i'm asking you: Be patient please =)
so, i've got htc sensation. The phone is branded by russian op. "МТС" (mts). But this op. Doesn't provide any updates: My sensation is still on 1.27.187.5 (radio 10.42.9007.00u_10.11.9007.15_m).
I want change my brand firmware to an official russian (europian? I don't know...) firmware, and i want to have ability update it officialy in the future. I do not want have an extra options (like root etc.), just official firmware, which i can update.
Please, give me some advice (in detail): What firmware do i need and how to install it?
I guess, I need RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed, right? If I'll install it, could I use it like ofiicial un-branded phone?

Radio 1.02.25.23... Pleeeaaase!:)

Hi people!
I have a problem with my touch pro Branded H3G Ita..
I decided to flash the energy rom and it work really good, but the problem that i have depends on the radio version(1.02.25.23). I'd like to flash the radio but, surfing on this forum, i didn't understand if is possible to dump it or download it ( without a radio backup on my pc i can't flash the radio because of the warranty).. does anybody can hel me?
Thanks to all
Mr.Gab
That Radio can be found in this thread (post #3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306
and of course here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439566
But flashing a stock ROM in case of warranty usually also installs a stock Radio.
Oh Wait, you are looking for 1.02.25.23? Sorry, I read 1.02.25.32. I'm afraid I can't help you then.
yes... the problem is that i'm looking for 1.02.25.23 Thanks anyway
Pleeeeeaaaaase heeeelp meeeeee!!!!!!! XD

It doesn't look like that revision of the radio even exists, or maybe its just not listed in the Sticky posts or Wiki page.
I did find a ROM download on the Italian HTC site.
I can't make head or tails out of it because I can't read Italian. So I can't tell you which radio version is included.
Here is the link.
[edit]Its asking for the serial number of the phone.[/edit]
Give it a try.
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much but... no way
a region specific radio? haven't quite heard of that before. energyrom doesn't install a radio so i don't think that's your problem unless you flashed another one. and if it isn't on this site, then, you're in for a rough ride. dl the stock rom and dump it and extract the rilphone and radio. if you never flashed a radio, i think the rilphone may be your problem. just google on how to dump rom's.
either that, or hope you get lucky and someone here just happens to have that radio and rilphone lying around.

Italian rom
http://www.htc.com/it/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=140&act=sd&cat=2
This is the support section of the htc site...You will need to give specifics about your phone...rom version..your service provider...and what you are wanting to do...As I understand you have a touch pro GSM phone that you want to flash energyrom..you are worried that your warranty will not apply considering you have a specific radio version.
Now first thing is have you called your phone provider or service provider to see if you download italian rom from htc if it will void the warranty??
If you flash energyrom...your radio will not change

From that link, with the serial number of my device I can't download the ROM .. it tells me that The download of this software is not suitable for your device.
If I flash enrgy-rom, radio will not change .. but, this version of radio with the energy rom is compatible ?? Battery life ?? I asked because, if it tried anyone to reply me ..
I've sent mail to the provider of the device and at the support of HTC, I'm wiating for replies ..
Thanks again .. if anyone has the same "problem" .. PM me
Are you sure about the version number I Can offer Radio 1.02.25.32 .. If you want this, pm me ..

[Q] my sensation can't find rom updates

i'm in o2 uk
my current rom is 2.3.3 version 1.34.2061
when i tried check for updates just got information that phone is up to date.
can someone confirm what is actually highest (original stock) rom version?
few months ago i tried flash custom rom, but i was not happy with them and i did rollback to original. maybe i didn't everything correct and this is a reason of lack updates

Did you super cid? I believe doing so would keep carrier updates from being sent to your device.
ok, thanks pal
maybe you know, where can i find newest official htc rom?
i'll try supercid and htc rom after that

Sorry... I think you misunderstood me. I was asking if you were already super cid'ed. Because if you were, that would explain why you were not receiving system updates from your carrier.
Setting your CID to super CID will not help you in this matter.
Ok, now undersdand.
I'm not sure did i replace cid or not.
How to check my current cid?
And finally how to rollback original cid. I'm in o2 uk

Here is how I know to check the CID on your device (and a lot of other details):
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/cmdline
That should result in a lot of text on your terminal. You want to find the value that follows: "androidboot.cid="
If you are super CID, it will be a bunch of ones (like 1111111) and nothing else.
I'll get back to you on the thread for a list of valid CIDs.
Thanks a lot.

Here is the thread that provides the most help for what you're trying to accomplish (at least from what I assume).
In it there is a mention of another thread where CIDs are being collected.
hth...
i can confirm that i had cid 1111111 in my phone.
i changed it first time for valid o2 cid but still not got any updates, then replaced for htc cid but still any updates got.
btw i'm sure, htc has released 2.3.4 for my device, and i'm stuck by 2.3.3
ok, last question
where can i find not branded, latest original htc rom?

I think this is the best there is for finding stock ROMs.
There is a FileFactory link in the 1st post (or right here) for a grip of RUU files. Those will contain the original distributions from the various carriers.
I wish I was able to point you to the correct one, but I really have no idea.
Happy New Year!

New official update for HTC Chacha found 1.57.720.3

Hello Everyone,
I just received a notification that a new software update is available for my HTC Chacha here in India: 1.57.720.3
I am currently on 1.57.720.1 and have unlocked and rooted the device (no custom rom installed)
I have a question:
If I update to this version, will I have to root my phone again? If not, then what is the benefit to update to this version??
Should I update?? I don`t want to lose my root ability.
Don't update, you will have to re root. If I were you I would get cm7 or cm9 they run very well and are much better than the stock ROM

Tried what?
Those listed there on htcdev are NOT ROMs. Those are kernels. You download those and then get the android source code from google, then build android for yourself using those kernels. Which should be for ICS but it has been discussed in the dev section and they seem to be for GB.
Further more, I have compared the 4.0 India and the 2.3 India and only 3 GPIO files have been modified. So it's GB kernel with 4 more lines of code.
So Alex C.
1. this is not ICS?
2. Will i get it stable on my chacha!!

I would suggest following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159 to update your firmware then flashing a 4.4.3 ROM or if you want the full, stock, update, follow these instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ent/ruu-m8vzw-4-4-3-s-off-onlynewest-t2873144
you should be S-off first, of course

The update is being sent over the verizon phone networks wireless system.
Since you are not in a country that has verizon wireless you do not have access to the update direct from the phone issuer and will have to use alternative means.
You can try "weaksuace / Firewater combo" but this method seems to only work with the first batch of M8 sold by verizon.
You can try "Sunshine" which is a paid app that will unlock and S-off your phone, success rate to my knowledge is 100%
After successfully completing one of the above you will need to comeback and read the M8 Dev section thread for installing the new firmware, then read the section for installing Stock Rooted 4.4.3 rom or whatever 4.4.3 based rom you like.
Just remember all 4.4.3 based roms require the updated firmware first.
Weaksauce / Firewater combo and Sunshine alternatives were developed by the same dev, you find his directions, discussions and links to his tools and app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699091

Newbie - debranding Z5

Hi everyone
I have just purchased my first Sony phone, the Z5.
It is on Vodafone UK but has been officially unlocked. I wish to debrand and put on stock Sony android software so remove the network branding. Can someone pleas ehlpe as I have never done this before. I have just downloaded flashtool.
My second question - If I use flashtool to change to stock software, will I still receive OTA updates for future software updates rather than having to use flashtool all the time?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, with official firmware everything will be fine.

Hi to all, sorry if I port afloat this old thread.
I have a Z5 with a MM branded firmware (TIM Italy). I already know how to debrand it flashing another compatible firmware.
My question is: is it necessary wipe all data, also if I flash another MM firmware?
By what I read, I understood that if I stay on the same major update (in this case MM) I shouldn't meet any kind of problem also if I didn't wipe all. Is it right?
Thanks to all
