Hi guys I got a sensation from a friend in France (i live in cambodia). On boot up there is not branded animation and also, i inserted my current sim card and I have service and data. I would assume my phone is unbranded but just to be sure can I tell from any of the software or serial number? Thanks in advanced.
Do u have any branded apps in the app draw also u can check by putting another sim in the phone do u know what network was locked to
Sounds unbranded to me, unbranded and (sim) unlocked are two different things.
thanks for the reply guys. just figured out my phone is already s-off and has CMW installed. now time to install a custom ROM!

I brought a unlock code to unlock my uk orange htc hero G2 and it unlocked but i got no signal when a simcard other than orange was inserted. So i asked around on some forums and a guy told me to flash my phone with the RUU Hero HTC Asia SEA WWE 2.73.728.5 release signed NoDriver firmware. The phone now lets me use a vodafone sim as well as the orange sim but my virgin mobile sim i always use won't work. It reads ok but i can't dial in or out. Any help would be great.
And i rooted the hero the other day but since i flashed the phone with this update i can't get in the root menu. All i get is a triangle with a ! in and a pic of a phone. How do i reroot.

You bought a ORANGE locked phone and it's after S-OFF it's not accepting a VODAFONE SIM sounds logical to me!
Just because you've S-OFF'd you phone it doesn't mean that you have carrier unlocked it - that is something completely separate...sorry.
EDIT: You can normally pay your carrier (ie ORANGE) or pay online through a website less than £20 to carrier un-lock your phone in this way, I'm afraid that I don't know a site to recommend as I bought an unlocked phone in th e first place, but I've read several similar threads over the last few months....in this forum so have a search and a read. I recommend that you don't use a unlocking website unless someone else recommends it first.

I thought that instaling this rom RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release will unblok my phone that is what i fugured out from the thread i downlod'it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506 for example in post nr.11 is talking about unbranding.
Is not the same thing with what im tring to do?

More terminology confusion....
Un-branding means removing the Network branding from your ROM that be stuff like network specific splash screens and network bloatware applications which they install on top of the HTC base ROM.
By installing an unbranded HTC ROM you will will un-brand your phone in that it won't have the signs of being from a specific network, it will be like if you paid for an un-locked phone it would come with this ROM installed on it out of the box.
But, even if you install this ROM on your device and therefore un-brand it your phone will still unfortunately be locked onto the network (carrier locked) from which you bought it.
I got it wrong then !
Thanks helping me understand !
I've bought a HTC ONE S for a friend, which was locked to Vodafone. I've unlocked Bootloader, Flashed Recovery and Root, will it now work with any SIM or I still have to change CID?
Regards,
you again ! lol
If its vodafone im 99% sure it will accept any sim card.. Vodafone never give me simlocked phones, They just ram the phone full of bloatware..
All you need to do is pop another simcard in and check it easy peasy..

Hello azzledazzle!
Fantastic news, by the way I've just sent you a PM let me know if you receive it
Yup ! i received it, All 3 of them
anyway, as i said, pop another sim in and try it, you wont need to change CID, Its also impossible to change without S-OFF anyway
Dont forget you need a micro sim !! not a regular one
I've a vodafone one s (vodafone italy but I presume that all vodafone-branded one s are equal) and it works with all operators, I'm using it with H3G italy and it works perfectly. If you want to fully debrand the one s you must wait for s-off to change CID. However if you don't like vodafone spam you can find some nandroid backup of the stock no-brand rom in this forum, but with those can't install future ota updates

Hello,
I just unlocked, S-OFFed and superCIDed a t-mobile branded sensation. the owner has a different carrier so he asked me to make the device compatible with at least his carrier, so I did a superCID.
now the device has normal service with various carriers, but no 3G internet connection.
There are probably numerous things I could do but I want to make as little changes as possible. The ROM and recovery are still stock. What do you guys advise me to make this phone connect to mobile internet again?
thanks

SuperCID just allows you to run software branded for different carriers on your phone. What you need to do is unlock the phone's carrier, and the thread on how to to that is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
Also, if all else fails you can try changing the CID back to the default T-Mobile one to see if anything happens (the default T-Mobile CID is "T-MOB010" without quotes).

Hi guys, So i have a GB HTC Sensation and have moved to the US I brought a AT&T Sim and assumed i could just use it since my phone is fulled S-OFF and Perm Rooted. It keeps asking me for my Sim unlock code so i found it and it says sim unlocked sucessfull But it does not find any signal what so ever and when i turn my phone on and off again i have to keep typing the sim unlock code in. when i go to Settings-wireless&networks-Mobile networks-Network operators It says error while seaching for networks. Im not sure why...
So when i went from sence to ICS I remember i had to flash a new radio and when i did as i was on Orange in england i selected the Orange one. So im assuming that the phone is locked to the Orange network with that radio (I dont know much about radios soo please tell me if im wrong)
So will i have to flash an AT&T radio to my phone? if so can someone point me to a thread on how and where to do so as i can not remember
Thanks alot guys!

i really don't know but you can use getril app from playstore
it will tell you the best combination of radio/ril
Just an idea.
Go to your dialer, put in *#*#4636#*#*
Then do Phone Information
Once in there hit the menu button and select Radio Band
And then select USA Band
See if that does anything for you.
Use any guie forum brow

Try this http://iphone-unlock.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-to-unlock-htc-sensation-4g.html and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693491
But generically try to wipe cache and dalvik cache and/or wipe data and/or try to flash another ROM and another Radio.
If not, may be hardware problem. Verify that the case is fully adjusted to phone, and try also to clean contacts.
