Debrand? - HTC Sensation

Ok so I got a sensation off eBay and its on orange unlocked to any sim. I root and s off and flash a stock HTC Rom great.
1. How can I unroot to get back to original hboot but with stock current Rom for HTC sensation as if I brought sim free with out orange bloated stuff.

I know you might think I am mad to want to un root but this is because I want to just get read of the orange stuff. If the flashed Rom is stock HTC will I get ota updates like everyone else would normally?

You can have s-off and stock ROM without root. S-off and root are not the same thing. Also, I believe you can be s-off with unrooted stock ROM and get official OTA's if you have the stock recovery. And to more directly answer your question, if you are running a rooted stock ROM (with stock recovery), you should be able to get OTA's but they might break root. That would be an easy fix since you would retain s-off and could just flash cwm and use that to flash su.

Stock recovery meaning nandroid back up of a stock rom?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

If you want to go back to 100% but unbranded, you need to:
1. Write Super CID to the phone (see the S-Off guide in the Dev forum for details)
2. Flash the RUU you wish to use (either 1.45.401.3 of 1.73.401.4)
3. Write the stock CID to the phone (stock = HTC__001)
4. Then S-ON, again using the S-OFF guide
The phone will now bee 100% stock and unbranded. I'd personally stick to the non-XE ROMs as the OTA's will work without issues, can't comment on the XE RUU

Hboot-cid question

I'm rooted with s-off and had super cid but now I don't. I was wondering if that was possible now I can't flash radios and custom recoveries. Sooooo the question I have is how's was that possible I haven't done anything recently but flash the team win custom recovery and then back to clockwork that's it but know my hboot says locked at the top in pink

in order to flash the ICS rom you had to have updated your radio. when you do that it updates your bootloader to hboot 1.20 and that is a locked bootloader but thats fine. we dont need it unlocked. and also you can run supercid again with fastboot even on the new hboot version.
Thanks that make sense so it doesn't matter everything else is okay

If you just root and stay on stock then you should get ota updates. And yes you will loose root after updating to ICS. But you can always re-root.
If u have a custom recovery make sure u flash stock recovery bc an official update can brick it. Seen it happen on other phones.

Just run the RUU. That will bring stock recovery back.

Can somone point me the right RUU for my eu sensation? I used revelutionairy.io did it change my recovert?
What did revolutionairy.io do to my phone? For i was thinking that it rooted my phone... can i somehow change it back all the way to stock?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Then u need to make sure all your htc drivers work. Also try getting the ruu from a diff source.

I have debranded my ex vf sensation to a stock european rom and rooted it, too.
So I can't get ota updates any longer? To receive them I have to go back to the vf rom? Is there really no workaround/fix?

G'day champ,
Welcome back, begin with the guides provided below.
1. S-off, unlock, recovery, root & SuperCID
[Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on
2. Install the latest firmware, 3.32 is needed for the latest base.
[Firmware][Mar 30]User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24,3.30 & 3.32 Unlocked
3. Flash a ROM, Android Revolution HD(ARHD) is the most popular(for good reason)
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 6.5.5 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | 3.32.401.105
After all that, feel free to learn what you will, there's plenty to learn, it just requires reading, and problems, there's guides all over the Sensation forums, generally within the first couple of pages.
Thank you for all that. What is the firmware step for??

For what reasons exactly
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
You can root without doing supercid. Supercid is optional.
It allows you more flexibility though. Useful if you want to flash other areas/carriers rom. Personally I prefer to keep original cid.
Recently I couldn't receive ota update to ICS because I was supercid, then reverted to the original one and suddenly I received the Ota update notice.
It's up to you whether supercid or not and it's not a real concern because you can revert at anytime.
What is your current hboot version? Power off, pull battery, press & hold vol down and power to enter bootloader and read it off.
You have to check your hboot is supported by revolutionary- the tool to give you s-off.

And the OTA thing... Say i update my phone..will i lose root n such..
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Yes you will lose everything and bootloader will become 1.27 (which is unsupported by revolutionary) Unless you have S-OFF before the update that is.
As for SuperCID, Its optional but HIGHLY recommended, As said before, it allows you to flash any firmware from any region....
If you dont have it, You MUST make sure it matches your CID or it wont boot... It can also be tricky to find one for your region (depending where you are)
It only takes a second, And its permanent and reversible
When i switch from rom to rom... Do i superwipe then flash rom everytime??
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
You can do, but its not necessary, Have a look at the installation guide for the ROM your going to flash.... Usually if you are updating the same ROM wipe isnt needed..
If you are going to a different ROM altogether, A wipe is a MUST

How to return to branded stock rom?

Hi everyone,
First of all i am selling my dhd due to an upgrade to One X hopefully i have been looking for a t mobile branded rom i looked at shipped-rom.net and have found it. I searched for t-mobile rom and it on a android forum a person had wrote this "I have a HTC Desire HD on T-Mobile Uk 2.3.3 software 2.37.110.5 CL58702". On a XDA i also found this "This is gingerbread info for the T-Mobile UK Android Ver - 2.3.3
HTC Sence - 2.1
Baseband 12.54.60.25u_26.09.04.11_m2* Kerel ver - 2.6.35.10.g3bf3222* Build no - 2.37.110.5 cl58702 Software no -* 2.37.110.5*
This helped me narrow my search with which rom to choose on shipped roms.net because there where alot of stock roms for dhd(ace).
Now i need to know what to do next i dont mind losing any info on my phone as i am going to be using mybackup pro. But the question is now i have found the stock rom what next? i rooted the device through ace hack kit and i am now using rcmix3d so what do i do next to flash the rom and when i do flash the rom will everything be original or will i still have to also change the kernal and radio as they are too both not of stock. When i do go back to stock i want everything to be the same but i want the phone to be unlocked to all networks and OTA after i get stock back will i have to use goldcard then go onto ace hack kit and instead of rooting just to tick the unlock button and on that same application when you root you have s-off when returining to stock how should i have s-on. When going back to stock shall i put s-on when should i do it ? an easy guide or tutorial would help

This is btw the wrong section for this kind of questions, and also be answered in other threads!
You need to flash the stock rom, just as you flash other ones.
S-on do you have to do with another program, not with hack ace kit, because that one installs a rom from himself, and after that s-on.
Ultimate Multi Tool is suitable to set s-on.
Kernel and radio are in rom, so only thing you have to do is flash stock rom, and then S-on and if you had eng off also that S eng-on.
Do i flash the stock rom then eng-on and s-on or the other way round.

Unroot HTC One S, just to be sure

Hello,
i have to unroot my girlfriends htc one s, because we need the warrenty of the divice.
at the moment there is the newest trick droid installed.
so how to get back to stock? ive done this on my one x before so i know i have to:
install stock recovery
relock bootloader
run ruu
BUT
i had huge problems finding the right ruu for the stock recovery flashed.
could i flash the stock recovery from PaulOBrien thread and then flash he UK vodafone ruu? or will be some mismatch like on my one x ? i would need the vodafone uk ruu, because it was a vodafone device.
is it a MUST that the recovery version matches thes ruu version? at my one x it kind of happend. is there any chance to see what version the stock recovery of PaulOBrien have?
greetings and thanks alot

Phone will still say relocked in bootloader no matter what you do I believe.
T-MobileUS HTC One S

Your warranty might not come back, since you have rooted it you might be declined.
