So my Sensation was S-Off and rooted however it started to play up so went back to S-On and Un-rooted, HBOOT now reads ****Locked**** and S-On. Is this all I need to do, does something more need to be done, will they be able to tell? They said on the phone if warranty is voided then I must incur the cost of fixing it..
Id really appreciate your help guys.
If its fully stock with s-off and stock recovery your good to go

Ok thanks, how do I know if I have stock recovery?
Hi, i am sending mine back tomorrow as well.
Do I have to put it back to S-ON? I've heard its risky.
Best to, and it's not risky if you follow the guide to a T
Make sure you've set the CID back to what it should be before doing it (assuming you changed it in the first place)
Hey, it looks like mine's going back as well.
I'm a little unsure of which version HTC rom was default on it because I bought it from Pixmania and not a carrier.
It originally had Vodafone branding and the box is written in German.
I don't think I've changed off of the original kernel or radio as I've only switched roms through ROM Manager since I rooted the phone using these instructions.

I too am wondering the same thing, but my problem is slightly different. My phone wont even power on so i was unable to s-on factory rom it, im unsure of what exactly needs to be replaced on the phone so idk if theyre gonna be able to see that the software has been changed.
Hi again,
I found my CID: VODAP102, it's for Vodafone Germany.
Where can I find the matching stock ROM?
Thanks,

Uhoh, i didn't change the CID back but I did S-ON...
Will they notice if its just a hardware repair?
Too late now, I guess I will find out...
Okay, my Sensation is ready to go for repairs:
I found an old HTC_Pyramid_Vodafone_DE RUU here.
I installed it. And updated... and updated... and updated...
Because I still had my original cid I was able to get my phone into fastboot and "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Now my phone is running a stock rom with locked bootloader and locked S-On and stock recovery.

Yes it did, HTC UK repaired the phone and converted it to a stock HTC UK phone without any German or Vodafone stuff on it anymore.
They didn't charge me anything for it.
I've send my desire s back to HTC caus of some probs with my battery.. it was rooted and s-off.. when I get it back it was s-on and unrooted.. I've paid for nothing..

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!

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 Guys,
I have a HTC Sensation which I rooted a few weeks ago. Since then, I have gotten a new Samsung Galaxy S2 which I prefer so I planned on selling my Sensation. I was in the process of unrooting the device, following steps I found online.
However, when I tried to install the RUU, it got half way through the process and told me that the RUU was wrong for my handset. Unfortunately at this point the software had already wiped the phone completely so now when I start it up it just sticks on the HTC splashscreen.
The RUU I used was RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed
When I checked my version in About Phone, I had 10.56.9035 .00P but I though they were so close that this must be the correct one.
Can anyone help me?
Try doing it again. Not sure it will work, but to be safe wait someone to confirm this or give another answer.
Might be the incorrect RUU since I assume you didn't change your CID, try to get the exact version that came preloaded in your phone. Should work
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Is your sensation branded, european, asian etc. if you but yours from t-mobile you have to get the t-mo one
try pull out your battery and put it back in. and try to boot into recovery (power and Vol down) that worked for me. good luck

Ok, I just managed to check my CID, its VODAP001. Anyone know which RUU I need?
you should of sold it rooted the point is to get rid of the phone
OK, I've managed to fix my issue. What I did was change my CID to 11111111 with SuperCID. then I just installed a stock ROM. Running better than ever too!
Hi There,
I've sold my HTC One S and need to reflash it to stock. It was originally on Orange UK.
I can't find the Orange UK rom or RUU anywhere.
While I don't think the buyer will know or care what ROM it has, the HTC boot screen saying its running a software build owned by HTC doesn't really help.
Has anyone got any ideas of what I can do?
Thanks,
Omar

OKAY,
1. Try flashing stock recovery hopefully the initial boot image shall be gone ELSE
2. Save your CID, change it to generic CID like 11111111, run 2.2 RUU(EUR firmware or your firmware if available) (by this time you should have manually flashed stock recovery, and bootloader locked), after this your phone is completely STOCK! If wanna return back to orange, unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, gain root and change the cid back to original! than flash stock recovery and bootloader lock!
Hi all...
My friend has softbricked his K2_UL, it has CID VodaP102.
It doesn't have unlocked bootloader, neither S-Off, so he can't change CID, so where can it be downloaded??
Best regards
Hi.
I'll have a look but I don't think there is any. Which country is the phone from ?
How did the "softbrick" happen since it's neither unlocked or S-OFF ?
Did it use to be unlocked ? Is there a custom recovery installed ?
What are the symptoms ?

The phone is from Vodafone germany
I have no idea how he bricked it, but no it has never been unlocked, neither S-OFF, and does not have a custom recovery
It only boots to fastboot mode
First you can try a factory reset from downloader/fastboot.
If that doesn't work ask for more details on how it stopped working and if he really really wasn't doing anything with it when it stopped working. That seems really odd.
If it really is the case he can bring it back to vodaphone since it's under warranty.

Flashing the at&t ruu must be risky. They are different version. The ruu is the 1.32.502.3. But I have flash magio rom before and use the ruu to get back to the stock version. You should not s-off if you ever think about going back to stock to get warranty. The closest to stock for your phone is using revone to lock your bootloader and going back to s-on. As someone has mentioned, doing those is not 100% true. If you are returning the phone to your carrier to get a replacement then just make sure to get rid of your superuser and lock the bootloader. You can also try to s-on back but it's too risky.

ive got two phones replaced already if you need warrany...brick the bastard solid so you have a dead black screen. play dumb like it just happened on the charger overnight.lol
Where can I find stock ruu for htc one mini?
If you're trying to return it for warranty then just brick your phone. Don't flash the AT&T ruu because when they check it will show AT&T suff in there and they will know about it. Unless it bricks don't flash it unless your phone is the AT&T version.
4.4.2 came out for at&t yesterday. Can you download it and extract it maybe?
