If they have just to clean the screen from the dust they won't look in the software I guess

Might wanna give this a read. Looks like they may well check software regardless of the repair.

AFAIK the Vodafone UK XE didn't have custom FW but as I've not used one I couldn't be certain. Did it originally have a Vodafone boot animation/splash screen? If so you're kinda screwed as there isn't a leaked Vodafone XE RUU available
Im not 100% I flashed new ROM during first charge cycle LOL, i remember Vodafone boot screen but I had hd2 and dhd visa branded so I've got the boot image in my head on the same sized screen LOL I don't remember Vodafone music app tho
Does it matter why would HTC think anymore into it if I have s on and cid is HTC__001 with generic 1.73 ROM?

Now send it to HTC repair! Assuming there is no response on your phone to anything i don't believe HTC can tell what is on your phone.
I totally bricked my phone some time ago trying to return to s-on so sent it in to repair telling them that the phone wouldn't boot after appling an ota. I had it back within the week with a new motherboard and no bill.
EDIT Sorry, just realised i've already given you this answer on general thread.

Hi,
Phone is being exchanged due to dust problem. I had unfortunatley s-offed before problem arose. Still stock ROM though.
There doesn't seem to be a tmobile UK ruu about so i can't follow the guides that are around.
Any ideas?
I really need to sort ASAP as courier is collecting first thing.
Thanks in advance

I don't believe an S-On method has been released yet...

This doesn't help answer your question (as there's no s-on method yet), but I can't help but wonder why you would request an exchange when your device was S-OFFed and you had no clue if it was even possible to revert that?
kinda in the same boat myself
I'm pretty sure your good with ship s-off and stock ROM.
Some people got s-off devices, how would they know if it came like that?
I would flash the RUU for your phone just in case.

You need a ROM with software 1.35.401.1 - get it here:
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.900 7.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed

Thanks - would this not remove all the T-Mob bloat & branding?
I didn't have any t-mobile branding on my TMobile UK phone.
Hello. Yesterday I unrooted and s-on my sensation, because I have som dust in the screen. For it, I used germany's Vodafone RUU, due there isn't a RUU for Vodafone Spain (my country).
Some people from Spain told me that using that RUU from Germany was ok, but something confuses me: when I try to search for OTA's I get this message:
We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. For your protection, we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to the official HTC system software to update your phone. If you did not modify the system software or would like help reverting your system, please contact us via the support section at www.htc.com
So, I want to know if HTC will see this, or if they'll refuse to change my screen. I'd also like to know experience of others whose country hasn't got a leaked Vodafone RUU, and your experience.
Thank you all
Anyone?

so when you decided to leave stock rom and go custom.... didnt you make a nandroid backup like ALL the threads insist ? If you did you could restore it.
Or brick the device completely and say that a dodgy OTA upgrade caused it (no recommended)
EDIT: Wont a European RUU be good enough ? or a stock Spain RUU, It doesnt have to be carrier branded to re-validate warranty...Just stock

First of all, thanks for your answer. I didn't make a nandroid because the phone was bought already rooted from internet. I don't think so about the stock debranded ruu because they have the info that my phone was Vodafone branded and if they see a stock Rom they'll see I've manipulated the software.

ok im getting the htc one x from voda and there buying my sensation back but its rooted will this stop them buying it back off me as it defo works but as i say its rooted and its going back on arhd rom tonight from virtuos sense 4 rom any advice cheers guys
personally I would instal a stock ROM and then unroot and turn s-on just to make sure.
There is a guide somewhere
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
Are they buying it back under a trade in scheme, where they give you a value regardless of you buying another phone? CPW bought my HTC Desire which was rooted, they didn't even bother to check.
thanx guys didnt wanna go through the messing about of reversing soff and stock roms ill just stick arhd back on and let em have it cheers
ye there buying it back already told me how much for my phone nothing to do with the new one except im getting the price down with what they owe me lol
just run an ruu
if you have supercid u can use any.. i did it to mine last nite, They want mine back
i dont think it will matter either way, but downloading and flashing an ruu only takes 10mins.
as for cid and s-off id just leave it... its easier for the next owner then lol
hi there
i have just bought an htc sensation xe and its on 2.3.4
i have tried to upgrade the phone to ics

I think it depends on the carrier about the warranty, I've sent a phone in for warranty with s-off, got the replacement and they never said anything about it.. I'm currently using hypernonsense ROM, it's really good for my needs.. but to flash an ics ROM you would have to flash an ics firmware first then then the ROM

turn off your device,pull out the battery,put it again
then press and hold power button and volume down together until it goes to bootloader
in the top of the screen it shows your hboot version.if it is 1.17(probably it is because of your android version)then go here
http://revolutionary.io/ and do the steps

Hello everyone.
I am trying to find a Z520e for a long time but unfortunately all the providers in my country only have the z560e.
I finally found in the market a z520e which is from T-Mobile DE of I am not wrong.
My question is that since the phone is Tmob branded, does this mean that I might have any issues? In my HTC desire I remember that branded phones had to have goldcards etc when flashing. Does this occur to the One S as well or can I flash let's say the viper S Rom without any issues to be concerned?
Am I gonna be able to change the Tmob Rom with the current official HTC WWE update?
Best regards,
T.

Ok, but can you flash the WWE Rom without root or only the tmob version?
I will root for sure, but I want to be sure that in case of warranty I will be able to find the stock ROM.
Also, do you know if Tmob z520e have the new housing that is not prone to chipping? Is there any picture to see the actual differences?
I have been searching for so long for a z520e..

You'll need to root first and then change CID in order to be able to flash any other RUU than the official TMO one. EVenif you lock the bootloader again, it'll show 'tampered'.

Thanx again mate..
So if the serial number is bigger than SH/HT24 or 25 it will be the revised version?? Which one did you have from Tmob DE??
Also, do you run custom ROM like Viper S? how much space do you have left after clean install?
