EDIT:
Here is the official RUU for H3G (Three UK) standard model Sensation
Was pointed out by another forum member, so I have mirrored it onto Mutliupload.
http://www.multiupload.com/5IQK830UIJ
Now everyone who has to send their Sensation supplied by Three in for warranty, just...
Make sure CID is H3G__001 (or SuperCID 11111111, though if CID is this, you don`t really need this ROM)
Once CID is correctly set, reboot into bootloader menu and run the RUU.
Having correct CID enables you to receive OTA updates once you have installed the RUU / ROM. If you update OTA, bare in mind, that it will also update your HBOOT to 1.18.0000 *Locked*
So once you have done this, do S-on to resecure your NAND and there you go... Ready for a warranty return...
My 0.0000000000002p worth anyway.
Thought it might help people who are on Three...
Tested and confirmed by me
Hello everyone!
I`m sorry to trouble everyone, but I was wondering if anybody had a backup of the original three uk (CID: H3G__001) ROM?
I have changed my CID and got Android Revolution installed.
I would just like a copy of this original ROM for warranty purposes.
I have looked at the stock ROMs pages and I can see the generic pyramid roms, however I keep drawing a blank when it comes to anything from H3G (three)
Any advice anyone could give?
or maybe...
1) Would someone who owns a UK H3G sensation (standard one) could upload an image somehow?
2) Would I be able to create a ROM indestinguishable from the original one installed (which includes startup logos OEM three crapware etc...)
3) Yes I was a complete dipsh*t for not making a nandroid backup (I was a complete Android virgin, iPhones were my bag)
Any advice/flaming is much welcomed!
I HAVE FOUND THE RUU!!!
Made a multiupload link for it so it is easier to find. Will put the link on as soon I`ve got 8 posts!

There's an RUU somewhere, search for it

I have searched everywhere I can think of. I am aware of the stock HTC ruu files. These seem to be the generic ones and they are incompatible with my CID. I have changed my CID but would just be nice to find the proper RUU so I can change it completely to stock, and not just to the generic one. I'm sure changing the CID will invalidate the warranty.

EDIT:
The Three Stock RUU works 100%. For newbies... Remember:
CID must be 11111111 (SuperCID) or H3G__001 to receive Over-The-Air updates. To change CID, search elsewhere! There are TWO underscores in the CID
To avoid 155 error when running RUU, run RUU when in recovery... Use adb to get into recovery or pull battery / vol down / power... You know the score!
I`m sure all this has been posted a thousand times, but I`m hoping it will help people who are on Three UK (Hutchison 3G).
Many thx

I have a sensation that was locked to orange, i S-Off'd and rooted, and un sim-locked but after the screen started playing up i decided to to unroot and S-On, in case of any warranty issues. When i S-On'd i flashed a stock HTC Europe ROM, if returning for repairs can i use this ROM or do i need to use the stock Orange ROM?
Also when device is in HBOOT, above Pyramid PVT Ship S-On RL it says ***LOCKED***, what does this mean? Does it mean it is not completely back to stock? I cannot see what it means as the device is no longer simlocked as it takes a Tmobile sim.
Thanks

Actually it means that you are back to stock. I take you still have super cid as you flashed different ruu? That would be an instant giveaway that you've tampered with your phone if they happen to check it.

Yeah, i used supercid, i wasnt sure how to find the specific cid for the stock ROM, if i use the correct cid for that ROM will it remove any traces?
Thanks
Thing is now you can't change cid as you are s-on LOL. Keep looking for your original RUU, then s-off, change cid to original one and flash stock RUU.

Can somebody explain how I can return my CID to default before I run the RUU for my region.
I know my CID was HTC__001 and I have checked the guide in the dev section but it just say to run the command
fasttboot oem writesecureflag 3 which I think turn S-on??
Yeah i understand i need to return to S-Off thats not the problem, how do i find the cid for the stock ROM? Orange UK 1.35.61.1

Thanks a lot! Exactly what i needed, will be flashing stock Orange ROM pronto!
One other thing, If i have any trouble with my phone, as it is sim unlocked by myself, can they tell this even with S-On, Stock ROM and CID? I know that if you go in there they often ask for you phone number etc, (i could just get a free orange PAYG sim and stick it in if i ever have any trouble) and if i tell them it and its flags up as a Tmobile number will they refuse to repair as well (as they can tell it wouldve been unlocked)? Also the phone was off ebay and i have no proof of purchase, but its in an orange branded box and the phone has orange branding on the back, should this be legitimate proof?
Thanks
My phone was unbranded when I bought it so I can't answer your questions, sorry. I hope some one comes and helps.
Let me know if it works OK to get your CID back to your default, I need to do mine tonight but I'm a bit wary of doing it and the whole RUU process.

Ok i shall do, I hope someone can shed some light!
I have just S-Off'd and written the CID, seems no problem and i am just about to flash the ROM, i shall update you in a mo.
Just follow this guide and you should be fine!
Cheers

Just finished flashing the ROM, everything seems ok, although i now need to edit APN settings as Im using a Tmobile sim and an Orange ROM. Good luck and let us know how you get on, it is reasonably straighforward!
All sorted no problems at all, I just restored stock ROM then changed my CID back to HTC__001 then I put s-on and viola back to stock phone.
Sucks when your used to custom ROMs

Its HTC__001 ,the one you are looking for.
11111111 is SuperCID, if you send it back with that CID, they can tell you've been fiddling..
Are you completely sure HTC_001 is the unlocked cid in Denmark aswell? Coz there's a way to flash it back

Hi people, I'm a noob
Anyway, I just installed the latest HTC Revolution HD ROM which gives the Sensation XE for the normal Sensation. It's great. But then I discovered that I'm having the hardware problem. I need to send my phone back to the HTC support and let them fix. However, since I've just rooted it, I lose my warranty. And I need to restore my phone back to my original stock ROM.
BUT, I don't know what's my original stock ROM was.... anyway to find out? I live in Thailand, I downloaded the Asia WWE ROM, doesn't work.... So I really need help now....
Thank you very much...
What's the CID of the phone?
surely as long as it's a stock version on the phone you should be ok? or has that all changed now from the old Windows Mobile days when you just had to security lock it and stick an official ROM back on to hide all traces of being hacked?
Different regions have different versions, and then on top of that you have operator versions - a lot more than WinMo
Im sorry to ask this, but how to check Srnsation CID?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
Reboot into fastboot, and make sure you have the android SDK (adb, fastboot, etc.) and use command prompt to navigate to wherever you have the android sdk saved. Type fastboot getvar cid and it will read your cid.
Mine is T-MOB010, (tmous), my stock version that came on the phone was 1.29.xx I believe, but an OTA immediately updated me to 1.45.xx. Unless of course you have a Sensation XE, in which case I believe it's 1.73. But that's tmobile US, I don't think you have tmobile us, so check your CID.
Specifically your stock ROM is 1.29.531.2, there may be other 1.29.xxx.x RUUs so always best to be specific to avoid confusion
The current stock XE RUU is 1.73.401.2

Do i need to run CID on adb to restore my phone to stock. Im on tmous also and i have the ota update before i root and flash my phone, but i need to restore it back to out of the box condition so i can send it also for warranty. Im a super noob and not really a techy guy so im asking for your help on the steps to restore my phone. I have read most of the threads and some of them are too confusing for a noob like me. From what I understand is i have to run adb to change my CID then download the correct RUU.exe for Tmous. Do i really need to run the adb and go straight to run RUU? Thanks in advance and sorry to question you so much.
Hi folks,
I have unlocked and s-offd my Voda HTC Chacha.. installed a WWE Rom but havent recieved any OTA since then.. I am on 1.19 and there is a 1.54 OTA out..
just checked the CID through adb and its set to Super CID 11111111 instead of generic HTC__001. Tried changing it but I get Command Error. Any idea or solution for this?
Also, Is this the reason why no OTA are showing up?
If no, please advise how can I update the phone via OTA
Many thanks
What's your full version number? Afaik, 1.19 isn't a WWE ROM, it's Vodafone UK

Here are the full details mate:
Android 2.3.3
Software 1.19.206.2
Baseband 47.14.35.3030h_7.47.35.17
Kernel 2.6.35.10-g8db500e
cheers
Searching "1.19.206.2" on Google brings me back to a thread here in XDA's Chacha section saying it's an O2 ROM - so you see any O2 apps or bootanimations? I've heard that O2 don't actually "brand" their Android phones with apps, but still make all updates go through them.
EDIT: Yup, 1.19.206.1/2 is an O2-UK ROM - I found this out from this forum thread: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/7588766-post44.html

RUU_Chacha_O2_UK_1.19.206.2_Radio_47.14.35.3030H_7 .47.35.17_release_197936_signed.exe
As you can see, your software number refers to 1 of 2 O2 UK RUUs
You should flash the 1.33.401.1 RUU from this thread, then see if you get an OTA update to 1.52.401.1 - if not, try downloading it from this thread and apply it via stock Recovery, which is reported to work if you're S-OFF and have a correct CID (HTC__001 for example) or SuperCID.

Fantastic mate, downloaded it as we speak..
not sure how it stayed on 1.19 as after I used XTC Clip, the logos and boot image were gone so I assumed I had a stock rom.. oh well.. everyday is a learning day..
I will let you know how I get on..
cheers for your help mate..
Update... Installed the 1.33 which then took the OTA update which is all good... However I still can't change the CID to HTC__001.. (currently set at 1111111)

why you like to change the CID?
SUPER-CID (1111111) might have set during S-off thru xtc clip.... SUPER-CID (1111111) signifies you device is universal device, which enables to flash all languages/APN/other settings in your phone

True, but it forces non-qwerty keyboard users to manually modify the layout in /system/usr/
as described here , because CID is taken into account on default layout.
Once you know the trick, it's OK, but really annoying to do every time you install a new ROM
I bought my used Desire S and it was rooted with revolutionary so i could not get OTA from 2.3.3 beyond. I read some threads but nobody was telling me which RUU i needed as my phone was unbranded and i was not sure about its origin. I managed to bring back the official stock Rom and original radios, hboot and downloaded and installed 2.3.5 successfully.
Nobody could help but finally i managed to take the risk and it paid off thankfully.
It is the easiest and fastest way to unroot, remove superuser, revolutionary and to restore hboot back to normal and S-On again, to get official updates including ICS.
Download the attachment "usmanxhmed.rar", it has Android Flasher and FlashENGHBOOT.
Attach your phone to PC with USB cable, make sure you have HTC fastboot drivers installed.
Open Android Flasher and select bootloader and browse to the file FlashENGHBOOT which you downloaded in file "usmanxhmed.rar", boot phone into fastboot and click flash.
It will remove REVOLUTIONARY **** from the phone.
Now download your specific RUU from this link http://www.filefactory.com/f/c64d333a2755a421/ i was unsure which is my RUU for the phone as i bought it second hand, my phone was unbranded, i matched the software version and radio version in my software information of the phone and downloaded the specific RUU.
After flashing the RUU my Desire S became factory fresh and back to S - ON and updated my phone with Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3 and hopefully/ may be i will get ICS in future as well
Good guide cheif :thumbup:

Quick question, this might not be the best spot for it but it is somewhat related.
My desire s is branded/locked to vodafone portugal, so i have no specific RUU in that list. What will happen if i use Europe one? Or UK's Vodafone?

I have a Desire S from Vodafone Germany and it works perfect with the Vodafone UK RUU.

I know there are several threads like this one but I prefer not to write another RUU request while you're answering to another user
So, I got a HTC One S S3 yesterday... I began to unlock it because I wanted to change its CID. I found that in the S3 version the CID can't be changed (still) when I had already installed the TWRP Recovery.
Now I'd like to go back to stock, but there is not a RUU compatible with my device: It has VODAP102 as CID, but the RUU for Vodafone AT here doesn't work. I found the kernel source for the same software version I have in htcdev.com, my question is: is it possible to build a RUU or at least a boot.img from it?
The sources can be found in htcdev /devcenter/downloads (sorry but being new I can't post direct links!), HTC One S as Device, Vodafone as Carrier and UK -
1.11.161.133 as software version. Actually I am in Italy, but the software and kernel version are exactly the same.
Thank you in advance.
Bump to first page and a little addendum:
I've read again all the possibilities I have with this phone, and if I have understood accurately then I'm forced to go back to stock, roms like the ThickDroid seem to require a non-branded CID, but that's the point... it is the CID that's compelling me to maintain this original Vodafone software, otherwise I would have already installed the HTC "basic" rom.
Am I missing something?
Thank you again!
Have you tried looking on HTCRUU.COM?
Check your radio id on the bootloader screen then flash the appropriate ROM

Yes I checked, but they have just unbranded RUUs, here in the forum there's one RUU for Vodafone but the region isn't the same as mine.
I've read that it is possible to flash an OTA update deleting the string that checks the CID - I'll have to take a look about that (moreover, it seems very difficult to find .zip OTA updates for this phone...).
Nevertheless I'd like to find this RUU update too - it is an important option too. So... bump to first page.
