Debrand HTC Desire S

Just wondering if anyone had managed to debrand a Desire S.
Have made a goldcard and ran the RRU however I get a bootloader error.
Not really interested in rooting or installing custom ROMs just want rid of the Vodafone crappy.
Thanks

I hope I'm right, but i think you need s-off too for debrand :/.

Waht kind of crap?
Bootanimation/splash is hard to remove.
To delete apps from Vodafon or apps from htc (amazonmp3, navi preinstalled) you have to root - after rooting they are "normal" apps to uninstall.
root:
1) s-off your phone (should have be done with your gaoldcard)
2) search for onclickroot here on xda
done

Hmm.. is your desire s s-off? If yes then just flash the original HTC ROM Ruu! Just look it up in this forum! For me it worked well! Even my T-Mobile splashscreen disappeared!

Out of curiosity what is your SKU and P/N on the box as i purchased an O2 desire s and it came with generic firmware and unlocked. Although i think i got lucky.

edit: thx to mod/admin for deleting the scamming post

Gosh...
When is sum1 gonna either find a way to s-off desire s so that i can try the roms or maybe root it with s-on cos still you can flash without a problem...
M getting impatient now...

i want to flash stock europe rom with all languages, ive been searching this forum, but im not sure what to do... please advise me.
thank you
tried ship saga rom RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed didn´t work-->error
i have created goldcard, but im not sure what to do.. if I need s-off or root...

Just install the ics ruu off the hec dev website. That will remove the branding.

But unfortunately HTCDEV ICS for desire S has bugs... like link clicks on SMS and other stuff, from what i have read.
It is not possible just to install a WWE rru like "RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed" with the a goldcard inserted on the phone? If what it is needed is just to unbrand the phone, without having root or other stuff... or is it need to Hboot S-OFF unlock from HTCDEV? please advise.

Edit: from fastboot i got CId = VODAPD18 which it means Vodafone Portugal. Is it possible to run above RRU + goldcard with no / little risk of bricking ?

Now when we can HTC unlock our device?

Hi!
Have ONE question, IF i want to use hTC unlocking to get first of all a different ROM (going from german device to a Europe 401) is that possible with hTC unlocked bootloader, and will i also be able to install custom ROM's with this new unlocked bootloader? Or does this requires CMR to do so?

I suggest you follow this guide. It's for Focus but the steps are identical.

I'm astounded that people keep trying to use the original ChevronWP7 Unlocker tool. It hasn't worked since NoDo, about a year ago. To make it work on a gen1 phone, you must install a *very* old ROM. The crazy thing is, this was quite well documented, yet people keep trying...

Good luck.

Thank you for responding, I didn't try this method, because most of the t-mobile features wont work with the ROM provided, i was looking for full t-mobile Stock ROM so that all the features work.

I am looking for the RUU that contains T-Mobile firmware 1532.20.20010.531 or newer. THis is the update that enables Wi-Fi calling!
