Hi all,
I have the Vodafone branded HTC Sensation in Australia. And now with the ICS updates slowly rolling out, Vodafone is still not testing the ICS ROM even though other Australia carriers are. Therefore, it is making me think that updating the Sensation is not their priority at all, maybe they won't even do it.
Hence my question, is there any way to go from the Vodafone ROM to the Stock HTC ROM and get OTA updates directly via HTC?
Thanks!
Yep. Just flash a stock unbranded ROM.

Hi guys.
Currently have a dhd but o2 have offered me an early upgrade.
So I'm getting a Sensation next week. In the past they've sent me unbranded handsets & some branded.
Just wondered that once the s-off method has been made public, would one still be able to Debrand & use custom roms as I have been on dhd?
My apologies for the lack of knowledge. Just that I've not had to make goldcards etc on dhd as that came unbranded from o2.
I'm sure someone will make a guide etc.. Xda is very helpful like that
Thanks Y'all

After S-OFF you can flash any rom you like, so you can definately debrand your phone.
The only branding on my o2 sensation was the wallpaper, I haven't checked the simlock yet but I assume its locked to o2

Normally at germany HTC sim lock isnt allowed. I believe its the same for Eu devices

Hi guys what I mean is o2 & other networks have a different software number to the official htc one.
So even if I do have an o2 branded handset, once the s-off method is here can I just proceed with goldcard, then downgrade & straight into a LeeDrOiD rom?
I was lucky with my dhd from o2 as this one kept the original htc software version & not o2's own.
Thank you for the advice & help guys =)
I was so happy when phones4u gave me an unbranded one! Orange generally put loads of ****e on the phones!

We don't know the process yet. Downgrade was specific to dhd for an exploit for radio s off.
Simply put though, once you have s off you can flash any rom.
I'm planning to buy a HTC sensation in NY, but for use in Brazil, I've always used unbranded HTC phones (touch, diamond2, Desire HD) because I hate those logos and apps, and also the updates OTA are released faster as they come directly from HTC.
If I can't find the phone in NY (the WW version, wich I want), is it possible to convert it's software into stock/unbranded version? How?
* If anyone has tips about where to find the WW version in Miami/NYC... I'd appreciate.
Thank you all...
I fear you'll have to wait for S-off to flash an unbranded or a custom ROM.
But for the moment, with temp root, you still can use Viperbloat or Titanium backup to kill all the operator apps.....
Hey guys,
I wanted to unroot my HTC Sensation XE.
I want to make sure that i wont be bricking my phone.
At this moment i have downloaded the RUU:
RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed
from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
is this the right RUU for my phone ? i have restored it to stock now and at software it says 1.73.401.4 , also my phone is a Europe version i suppose since i bought it here.
Do i have to use this ROM to get it back to unrooted stock?
unrooting of htc sensation xe

Any joy?
I've got an HTC Sensation XE (GSM) on Orange UK. Intelligently, I didn't back up the stock ROM before flashing a new one on there. Anyone know how I might get hold of the Orange branded ROM for my phone? Failing that just a stock HTC ROM? Feel pretty let down by a few apps refusing to work on a rooted phone.

Im Looking to Debrand my Sensation i have s-off, i want to remove any traces of vodafone bloatware and branding from my HTC sensation and have it as stock as possible, whats the most up to date ICS i can update my phone with.. thanks
...i already OTA'd ICS last night but dont want any of the vodafone ****e on it
... and i already did a trawl through the forums to find the latest stock unbranded ICS but it gets very confusing after a while.. im on Vodafone Ireland
Is it possible to upgrade my hTC Desire HD with a stock ICS?
It was originally bought in Japan, locked to Softbank with that carrier's bloated ROM (on GB).
I then rooted it and flashed CoreDroid 9.2
At hTC Japan they refuse to help me citing carrier agreements.
This upsets me because the device is mine and I want to upgrade it, if it is technically possible.
Can I just go to any English hTC website and try to upgrade my phone using the ICS for my same model but sold unlocked in another country?
TIA
Tommaso
Anyone? Any advice? Please?
