Hey guys. I have a hboot 2.xx and htcdev unlock with s-on. So I wanted to s-off to flash a new radio. But I have to downgrade.
The guide tells me that if my phone is unbranded, then I wouldn't have to make a goldcard. And they said that the phone is branded if you see the provider logo at bootscreen. I did have vodafone at bootscreen but I flashed fallout. So does that give me unbranded? I have a vodafone desire s from the netherlands

Your phone is still 'branded' I think. (Flashing a custom rom doesn't 'unbrand' it physically as such...)
Best test is get into FASTBOOT USB, and type in cmd:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Let's see what it returns. Pay attention to the CID and Misc_version bit.
And why do you want to flash radio? It doesn't *really* give you much performance improvement in real life + gives you risk of (unrecoverable) hard brick if things go wrong. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
If you just want to 'debrand' fully I think you need to edit the CID.
It's still usually safe to make a goldcard anyway, in case you get into trouble (it doesn't hurt to use a old 2GB card that just lying round gathering dust.)
i prefer unbranded, but i dnt think it really matter when ur custom ROM'd up

ummmm you're not even in America. So why would you have a T-Mo Sensation 4G anyway? Maybe this is Troll bait.
No one cares anymore. It's easy to fake this statement.
I have Sensation 4G T-Mobile, I did revolutionary's S-OFF, then installed the RUU to stock T-Mobile, and it went back to look like a normal Bootloader with S-OFF still in place.
So I repeat, no one cares.

You should ask this in the questions and answers forum.
It will look like a switched off phone and it won't start.
No, you won't affect the radio installing a new ROM.

RUU (or Shipped ROM whichever you prefer) will change all your system components (bootloader, radio, kernel, system, data, etc.) The custom ROM will change only the ReadOnlyMemory /system/ and kernel. Some files may be flashed on /data - it depends on the developer...
Edit: this thread was suggested for move to the Desire S Q&A section

If I choose wrong RUU, it can be happened ??? it's run eMMC chip from SAMSUNG.
What does your phone look like now when you switch it on? E.g. stuck on white HTC screen with 'quietly brilliant', stuck on white HTC screen without 'quietly brilliant', black HTC screen.. etc. Can you access the boot loader (e.g. take battery out, replace, press volume down key and power key TOGETHER)?
Hi All I am from India , I was not able to S-off bcoz of latest updates So I followed
the taco root exploit process and gained S-Off but again I followed S-on process
But I missed 2 steps Making Super CID and Putting RUU. Without that I ran command fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 . And now phone is not switching on or not going to recovery mode it is just dead plz help ....
I have not installed custom recovery no firmware updated. Just did S-Off and tried S-On again
No Hboot nothing changed just S-Off and S-On without changing RUU and CID__038

if you feel like your board is damaged by water.then buy a new board.
ps-if you using ebay you will be able to find sensation for parts more cheaper than your board price. $200

just throwing this out there but im wondering if anyone knew or heard any rumors of an ENG hboot for this device?
Without s-off an eng hboot is borderline useless
You can't flash it otherwise I believe, I remember it cause a brick to s-on a eng hboot so I'd assume using our unbrick method to flash it would just result in a brick itself
Slithered from my HTC One X+

Yes sir look through the dev section its somewhere in there in the first few pages
Any unsigned hboot will brick it. On hboot 1.09 and below its recoverable. 1.14 and above, it will do nothing. It won't brick because it won't actually write.

so, now plz help me out...
Thank you

Info about My Rom:
you are using stock rom?
if i'm not mistaken, you need to unlock you bootloader via htcdev first, flash a custom recovery then root

Errr your hboot confuse me LoL
Everytime whenever there is a discussion about hboot i would just read a bit then ignore it xP
You are already 's-off', which is better than 'unlock' with s-on.
You should have a custom recovery, i presume it is clockwork. to flash a new rom step.
I would give my post 1 or 2 days before trying it out. Because if i am wrong someone will correct me then we both can learn.
I am slowly forgetting this kind of details but I think that even S-OFF (which is definitely much better than unlocked) he still needs an Engineering bootloader to flash a recovery.
