[Q] Use original rom instead of branded rom to get updates earlier? - HTC Sensation

Hey guys,
I just want to know, if my thoughts are true:
Im owning a Sensation 4G from Bell (Canada). In general it takes more time until an update will reach my phone, because it has to be adapted by the carrier.
As far as I know, if I had a rom with no branding, I mean a original stock rom of HTC, updates will be recieved earlier.
Is it possible, to change to rom from bell to an original rom of HTC without branding?
I think, it does, but would I be able to get official OTA updates, too? Do I have to change the CID for this?
Thank you in advance

Better if you superCID to prevent headaches (I guess you are S-Off already).
Chose a RUU close to the one you have now.
You won't lose S-OFF but:
- will lose root (if you are rooted)
- will lose personal settings and apps, but you can download again from market.
Hope it helped.

Or you can just wait for a dev to release a Rom based off the new update

Hehe, thank you, but you´re wrong, I´m still S-ON
I´m not dealing with S-OFF as long as enough. At first I want to gather information, befor I do this
Previously I had a HD2. HSPL (S-OFF) and flashing a custom rom, was very easy. I my opinion, with the Sensation it´s a bit more tricky xD
Is this correct, if I flash a stock rom, it will not change the CID?
In case of warranty, I have to set the CID to the default value?
Can anyone tell me, where I can find the stock rom from Bell, if I would go back to it?

I made a search for you (but you should do that ). Found it here
Your RUU should be 1.35.666.1
So I guess that stock RUU is the first on this list HERE (check in settings - about phone if it is correct).
What is your current CID btw?

Ever tought that "BM" stays for Bell Mobile (or Mobility)? Your RUU is the 2nd on the list in such case. Should be newer than the first

Your thread is about bootloops, how will it help someone debrand their phone? Serious question
The OP just needs to Google 'debrand htc sensation' and they'll get all the info they need (or even search the same terms on here)

Just a small update; meanwhile I set my bootloader to S-Off (yay xD).
Do I have to flash a custom (non-stock) recovery?
Why respectively for what I have to flash a custom recovery. Only for backup and restore my phone?

you don't have to flash a custom recovery for RUU, and you only need a custom recovery if you're gonna be flashing different roms or for backup and restoring

What kind of backup and restore can I do? backing up systemfiles or the complete phone? (to which target? sd-card?)

You can do the complete phone, anything that's in the Rom you're using, and yes it saves it to the sd card

Assuming I set my CID to superCID and flash an unbranded stock ROM, is it possible to get OTA updates with superCID set?
Or should I set it to a normal value e.g. HTC__001 (appropriate to the flashed ROM)

[Q] H-boot version changed once I flashed a rom normal?

my h-boot version was 18 then when i flashed android revolution rom it went to a 17. (not exact numbers but thats not really the point) I was just wondering what the H-boot version really has to do with my device itself. Or would i need to be able to switch it back to original state at some point

Hboot is on a separate partition than rom. When you go from stock to rooted your hboot might change, depending on the root method.
Flashing a rom won't change it. Reverting to stock with an ruu will.

Engineering hboot allows you to flash recovery and radio at a more basic level and can help you recover from a ****ed up state in some cases. Good idea to have.
Super CID just allows you to flash an ruu from another carrier and is completely unnecessary if you're flashing custom roms.

Revolutionary does radio s-off which means the phone itself has security turned off and whatever hboot you have will display that. Eng s-off means the hboot is allowing the security bypass. Ship s-off just means it came that way from factory.
My understanding is somewhat rudimentary so I would appreciate one of the elders stepping in to clarify if I've missed anything.
We need s-off to give hboot permission to flash a custom recovery. Then we use the custom recovery because it permits us to make changes to the firmware, like the update that gave us root access.
The hierarchy goes radio, hboot, recovery, rom. Each is on a separate partition.

I am also interested to hear from other members about their achievements with their devices as far as CPU speeds and of the many tricks that can performed by the sensation. I find myself searching for that info all day.

Removing stock apps

Hi,
I was wondering how to remove the apps that come with the phone on vodafone as i recently changed to 3 or can i flash the 3 ruu to my phone? Thanks
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
You could flash the Sense 3.0 ROM before the Vodafone upgrade
You may need to create a GoldCard to be able to flash it (if you have a different CID).
But in order to remove any stock apps, you have to be S-Off or HTCdev unlock your phone and either get root on your phone or install a custom pre-rooted ROM.

You need to install another HTC RUU (e.g. the European) and you'll be fine.
Is your DS also SIM locked? If yes, you may need to unlock it afterwards.

See this post here on how to create a goldcard. The goldgard is needed in order to bypass the CID check of the official RUU (or to "fool" the CID check). And then you'll be able to run the RUU you want

deadphone..... Really?
Do you know why nobody's answering your questions? Because they indicate that you haven't done any reading whatsoever, and you're too eager to jump into stuff you haven't the slightest clue about. I suggest you read up about android in general, how stuff works on this device in particular, read about bricks that have been made off perfectly good phones because of reckless flashing and following the advice of other novices, who have no idea what they're suggesting... And when you think you're done reading, and know everything there is to know,..... read some more!
I only say this because you and your very helpful "guide" friend here are dillydallying with things like RUU, goldcard, CID hacks, etc.... which is more advanced stuff than you're equipped to handle currently, and this thread looks like a disaster waiting to happen.
Do you know what trouble an incompatible RUU can get you into, if you don't use it correctly? Just S-off your phone and flash a custom ROM man... there are so many stock, pre-rooted ROMs available!
Wait. Patience. Read. Tutorials. Guides. Those are what you should be looking for...........not RUU, Goldcard, CID, Misc_version. You're not there yet.

If you haven't figured it out even now...go ahead, make a Goldcard, and flash a 3 RUU on a Vodafone branded phone. See where that gets you. Do you think CID is the only thing an RUU checks when upgrading a ROM?

Have to agree with you there, this RUU thing is very dangerous if not handled properly. I've already had an issue flashing the wron RUU, which resulted in my bootloader saying *****Security Warning***** and also i became S-off! Had to take it to HTC, but fortunately they didn't make an issue, and replaced my phone. Have stayed away from RUUs ever since. From what i have read, just making a goldcard is not enough... you need to change Misc_version too, or something like that.
How do i s-off my phone then? Hboot 2.00.0002 and every guide i read says that i have to downgrade is there a way around this? I know you have just said read up but i cant find any guides that say how to s off with my hboot without downgrading

You never provided any details about your phone... I didn't know you were still s-on!! Why didn't you mention that anywhere?
i didn't think it would be relevant at the time, now i know this next time i start a new topic i will include details about my phone. Anyway, the details for my phone are:
hboot 2.00.0002 s-off unlocked with htcdev so what can i do now?
I dont know anything about s-off because i dont have a htc but i do know when you are rooted you can use es file explorer or root explorer to delete apps.In es settings set system as read/write and then navigate to /system/app and delete any apk you want but dont get carried away because you can mess your phone up.Just delete the pre-installed apps you dont want.

First of all I thought that this is a community where everyone in here is supposed to help each other and not to start flaming or using irony to say to someone that he may be wrong.
We weren't all born to be experts or geniuses like you may be so you could be just a little bit polite when saying to someone that "hey you are wrong because from my experience you need to do this or that".
I'm new in the Android platform since I've been an android user for only 1,5 year but I believe I managed to play a bit with it, since for the last 7 months I'm constantly "messing" with my old devices.
And no I didn't get offended, I just don't like to see great communities, as XDA, lose their good name / status.
No hard feelings though.
The S-OFF or HTCdev unlock, flashing a custom recovery and installing a custom ROM may be the "easiest" way to do it, but what if the user didn't want to have a custom rom?
As for me trying the suggested method on my DS, well that's what I did in November to my DS, before I decided to go with a custom rom in January.
My DS, even though I got it from a Greek mobile operator (COTE), it was branded (with CID: T-MOBN14) but without any 3rd party apps. Other friends in Greece with DS have a CID: HTC__001 or another that I don't remember it atm but it stands for HTC_ELL (Greece).
After reading the 6th post of this thread, I simply did what you can see on the posts #286 & 288 in this thread.
I don't know if I got lucky or not but my DS worked flawlessly until the 1st week of January when I decided to unlock it using HTCdev, flash 4ext recovery and install CoreDroid.
Based on what I did, I suggested to deadphone99 to go with the Goldcard solution.
Anyway, I'm sorry if I just got lucky and my suggestion may caused deadphone99 to get a dead phone

How to flash a new radio on S-on HTC-dev unlocked

I think, after much reading in this forum, that the only way to flash a new radio with a dev-unlocked Desire S is the following procedure.
0. BACKUP
1. download official RUU with wanted radio
2. HTC-dev relock device with "Fastboot oem lock"
3. flash RUU package
4. HTC-dev unlock device
5. flash Rom of choice OR do nandroid-restore
6. flash correct boot.img from the Rom used in #5 using "Fastboot flash boot boot.img"
7. restore everything, as the phone is wiped twice during the procedure (unless nandroid restore is used earlier)
As I do not see a RUU with a newer radio than I've got myself (.10.08.04), and I dev-unlocked myself, I cannot try this procedure until the new update is ready.
Please correct or add if you know more....
Jeroen.
You may need to change your main version.
If you have purchased your phone with Sense 3 there might be a chance that it had 2.10.xx.x version before you unlocked it with htcdev.com.
But if you device was with Sense 2 when you got it, then you accept an OTA update and unlocked afterwards then you version will be 12.10.xx.x or 13.10.xx.x and you need to modify the misc partition before running a RUU

@ Padrik ... A polite word. Stop tacking your own problems onto the bottom of somebody else's unless you are 100% sure that you have an identical problem. Stop posting stuff that has nothing to do with the OP. And learn to use the search engine. People are not here to spoon-feed the answers - we had to learn all this and it makes everything better if you learn and understand rather than just accepting what people tell you.
I could have given you the answer far quicker than typing this post, but people need to learn that there are rules on XDA

Stock Rom Odex

Hi
Does anybody know where i can find One S (S4) odex stock roms for tmobile. Basically i can't get ota updates and i think my problem is that my current stock rom is deodex.
none of the develops in the One S community wants to make it.. dont know why....
the closest u get is the nandroid in the dev section.. thats what im running now...
Why not run a RUU from the Shipped ROMs thread in development section
I'd like it too actually. I tried flashing stock recovery and relocking my bootloader, but out still said tampered and still couldn't flash an ruu... I'm hoping getting all stock could help with that.
There are no RUU's for tmobile uk sadly, so i need to super cid my phone to get the international version. Also i dont know how to super cid
I found another version of the RUU for TMOUS so I'll try that in the near future and see what happens.
Because the cramp just won't go away!
Does anybody have a stock nandroid for tmobile UK?

If you read the posts it says there isn't one. Just to verify I looked and I didn't see one either.
Also, after going into fastboot and flashing stock recovery I did
Code:
fastboot OEM lock
My phone rebooted I did it again and flashed the latest RUU for my phone which was TMOUS 1.84 or something like that.
That seemed to work. Now running android 4.0.4.

If you read the posts it says there isn't one. Just to verify I looked and I didn't see one either.
Also, after going into fastboot and flashing stock recovery I did

I'm just curious are you from UK or USA. I supercid my phone yesterday and tried flashing three different ruu's but none of them worked. But then again my bootloader is unlocked so I'm not sure whether locking it will help.

I'm from us, but please don't hate me i didn't decide to be birthed here
I'm assuming your a tmobile UK user due to your post. I'm not really familiar as to what to do with your situation as I've never dealt with UK RUU Issues. I would assume you probably can't use any of the RUUs from anywhere else. You would think T-Mobile would have an international one out. I would probably not risk damaging your device using other carriers unless someone tells you it works. I don't see why trying a tmous RUU would harm you though. There are two versions of it out a 1.54 and 1.84 I believe. I don't know what effect itll have on your phone though so don't blame me if it bricks if you try.
Ive got a huge problem I supercid my phone last night and after that I couldn't call or text anyone as well as recieve. I even unsupercid my phone and back to the original HTC__001 cid. So can anyone give me a solution. Btw I relocked my bootloader and ran the European RUU and it worked

Maybe try to run the RUU again? Or a factory reset.

No no this happened due to me trying to super cid. I just did the ruu right now. I think I need to flash a radio but not sure how to

That's possible I suppose. Here is how.
After flashing your device properly, start it up and let everything run a few minutes so the ROM can get settled in, I assume you've done that already.
Next you download the radio image you need, I'm not sure which it is I don't know what your running.
Then reboot to fast boot.
Enter
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.IMG
Then reboot your phone with
Code:
fastboot reboot
Or you can do it through a menu on the device.
Then you should have your radio set.
Someone please correct if anything is wrong.

I'm not sure which radio you need. This is what I have.
HBOOT-1.14.004
RADIO-1.08ts.50.02.16
I googled quick, but haven't been able to find anything as of yet. Maybe check the wiki?

Are you saying there aren't any radios that i can flash? I'm actually considering sending this back to htc to see if they can fix it but im not sure if they will

He is saying you CAN'T flash radios, new, old, it doesn't matter. Your hboot does not support it. You are SOL.

HTC U11 Back to Stock

Hi All,
I have a HTC U11 - Carrier Optus AU. Software version 2.33.710.9.
I have unlocked the bootloader, as well as installed TWRP. Not using a custom ROM, only wanted root to remove bloatware.
I believe that my best option would be to flash a RUU, though on the spreadsheet, there seems to be 2 versions, but allot older then the one I have. Version 1.11.710.5.
Is there any harm in using a older RUU, or is there a better way. Also S-On or S-Off?
Cheers for any guidance on this.

Here you go, no RUU available as far as I've searched this seems to to be the best way to stock. I assume your cid is HTC__039

I've uploaded the 2.33.710.13 OTA (for AU and NZ) here:
https://mega.nz/#!DA1CiQjR!Y9Xd27WZl2SPcD6VGpqj20OE6cLd5pKJTUdTua10pP0
Filename is OTA_OCEAN_UHL_O80_SENSE90GP_MR_hTC_Asia_AUS_2.33.710.13-2.33.710.9_release_531347suuas636ujuoxyiv.zip
For those who need to get back to stock, my TWRP backup of untouched System, System_Image, Recovery and Boot for 2.33.710.9 is here:
https://mega.nz/#!3NkC1KAS!9NuBrrzAxQTaRra8HGvkmFlu_dnDt27XKmK9iYoHiPA
I have successfully restored to stock using this and applied the OTA. (When restoring just pick one of System or System_Image - I used System_Image)

Cheers for the reply mate, I'll take a look. I forgot to mention, CID is OPTUS001. Will a HTC__039 recovery work with OPTUS001?
Out of curiosity, would this approach work? - https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/guide-downgrade-htc-u11-oreo-to-nougat-t3754481

According to the spreadsheet it should work Cid HTC__039, VODAP021, OPTUS001 have been put together
Was meant to update this earlier, though made a backup and went ahead used it. Worked flawless. Small issue when trying to enter boot-loader(black screen), but factory resetting the phone fixed it.
Cheers again for the link.
