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

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.
I want to get rid of the vodafone ones and install the 3 ones how do i do this?

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.

So can i install the 3 ruu on my phone? If i download it and install it and what is a goldcard?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
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.

Nothing.
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?
I'm sorry if I offended you... maybe you could try out what you just suggested to that guy on your own phone and educate me... I seem to have gotten my concepts wrong.

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

Your post started with "How to remove stock apps"
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

Go to this thread and take it from the beginning, you will find answers to all your questions regarding the S-Off, custom recovery and flashing a custom rom
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

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

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

Hello everyone, I am writing because I have a problem (according to my inexperience) "unique", briefly explain the situation.
I unlocked (at this point I'm not even sure) my device via htc.dev and I was willing to install new rom including cyanogedmod.
A few days ago, trying to follow the guides on installing recovery and to switch to s-off my device in bootloader mode gave me the written abnormal.
To date, my situation is that found in the pictures found in the annex.
I tried to do a factory reset but it does, I tried again to reinstall the original ruu but gives me error 155 on sync.
The phone turns on, everything seems to work perfectly, however, does not take TIM, ie with the sim inserted I can not call them navigate.
I ask you the pleasure to help me solve the problem and fattibilie, the procedure "correct" the face that my case to install new rom.
I look forward to your feedback.
Thanks in advance.

Hello guys, mainly developers and their friends who might mention my case between each other.
This is a quite big problem, so maybe these few lines below deserve a second read.
From the very beginning: I bought an XE in Europe from second hand. I was about to open the bootloader by using htcdev. As a good layman I found a useless thread which's misled me: I factory reset the phone and after that I did not enable USB Debugging. On the official htc site of unlocking bootloader I chose the option from the list, titled 'Sensation EU'. Since then I've already found out this is an Asian device (cid: ASIA-HK-CHT HTC__622), so I should have chosen 'All other supported device'. In the last step by unlocking bootloader I got a question about unlocking it, or not, whereupon I asked it to do so, causing immediate freeze on the screen.
So, this smartie is bricked now - even though I can reach the bootloader(h-boot 1.29) and the recovery(stock) too - considering the following: I can't unlock it anymore by using the right 'Unlock_code.bin' file either, since it shows me the same frozen screen after choosing 'yes' (by step 12 at htcdev). Nor I can S-OFF or accomplish the RUU procedure. At the latter I can go until it's checked the P58IMG.zip file, and asking me for applying the update. When I press vol_up the brick begins updating the bootloader and never finishes. I mean I like watching that screen for hours, colorful and I'm really obsessed with the phrase 'Updating...', but I'd still like to use this sensation for calls and things. If run the execute file(RUU) on PC, while the phone is connected via 'FASTBOOT USB' it gets stuck at 'rebooting bootloader...' In fastboot I can't even erase my cache, neither in recovery.
Do you think, it'll ever be able to use for its destiny again, if I'd follow the instructions you may give me?
Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you guys, I really appropriate your help. The only thing is when I try to run the execute file, it stops doing anything by "rebooting bootloader"... After 20 minutes the same screen, and the guide only tells me that it takes approximately 10 minutes. When I try to flash it from bootloader, I doesn't go any further then updating bootloader.
Question: the RUU on the link you post is 3.33.707. My phone is HK and not WWE, so it's 708 and not 707. In the txt the cid version is HTC__621, mine is HTC_622. Do you think is enough if I'd just write my cid number into that? I'll givi it a go anyways, but if you have any advice...

All right, I will try to S-OFF using your guide, but the 3rd and 4th points are not available for me. So I can only connect my phone to PC with Fastboot USB. :\ What do you think?

p.s. This is the file I could go the furthest with: RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_hTC_Asia_HK_3.32.708.112_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_253449_signed.exe
As you see, it is still 3.32, but finally 708, but the last number from that part really makes me anxious, because it's 112, and on my phone that number is 151. I really don't want to give up, so any advice will be appropriated. (Yes, I've seen the donate me button on your profile )

you can try it
you don't have to lose anything at all
if it doesn't work it will just throw you an error
see how it goes

Ohh then the ruu won't work and changing the cid won't help either.
Hmm we need that ruu
Otherwise try the soff without htcdev (guide link in my signature) as you can't htcdev unlock it

Well, I'm in command: "* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *|* daemon started successfully *" and it's been nothing happening since I've started the method 10 min ago.
"Hmm we need that ruu" => which numbers must match you think in the name of the file? And where the hell to find? yahoo twice better than ggl, so I found the previous one I've showed you.

Flash the ruu with phone connected from fastboot
Thats should work
Also if the ruu flashing stuck at some point.. There will be a log generated at C:/ruu post the log here (latest modified file)
Edit: btw Donate won't work for me. You can donate to devs on my behalf if you want

As if by magic, it appears in the One XL forum.
I think your friend is telling fibs, phones don't just magically stop booting for no reason. Please tell him to own up to whatever activities lead to this situation, as embarrassing as it might be, I need to know how this happened in order to help properly.
Now, just to be clear, the phone is actually the HTC One XL, not the HTC One X. They look similar but are actually very different. What recovery is installed on the device?
Another question for you, why isn't your friend posting here and attempting to fix this problem himself? If he can't recover from a simple problem like this (or can't be bothered learning/trying) he honestly has no place having a modified phone. That might sound harsh but it's the truth, this is very basic knowledge, it's flashing 101. Knowing how to recover from something like this is an essential skill for anyone who owns a modified phone. If your friend isn't interested in being honest about what lead to this situation, or interested in learning how to recover from this situation, my only advice is to return to the device to stock and leave it that way. I'd strongly urge him to get on here and post himself, and do some reading to educate himself on the ins and outs of modified devices.

sorry for being so vauge
My friend is a lady friend who had no idea how the phone could have become modified. The phone is a HTC one X and my lady friend said she would love nothing more then to have a stock phone. My friend has no intrest in leaning how the in's and out's of HTC but, I on the other hand would love to learn about HTC and Android. I come from a n Apple community and have a little knowledge but not a lot.
Anything you can tell me would help greatly, and I would be indeed greatful.
Sincerely Nanamkin
The only option for you is to return the phone to stock, giving a modified device to someone who knows nothing about them and doesn't even want a modified device is a bad idea. I'll just reiterate though, it isn't a HTC One X, it's the One XL. Is it an at&t model? Can you please retrieve the software version from Settings/About Phone? Can you please enter recovery from the bootloader screen and tell me which recovery version is installed?

There is no TWRP 2.14 for this device, are you confusing it with the hboot number? Go to Settings/About Phone (where I said it would be earlier), and post the software version please.

I am sooo sorry. you are absulotly right, and you are good! how did you know that? lol
here is the right info.
TWRP 2.3.1.0
im sorry i cant boot into the phone to check the setting/about phone for a software version. do you know any other way?
and while i was messing around i figured out how to install ADB and FASTBOOT and use it.
I'm an idiot, completely forgot you can't boot to check the software version. Facepalm. Can you please check the CID for me? Put the phone in fastboot mode and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid

got it

Ok. To get the phone back to stock you Erik need to run an RUU, but in order to do that safely you'll first need to get s-off. To get s-off you're gonna need a booting ROM on the device. Purely for this exercise I think Kickdroid would be your best option, head to our Android Development section and find the Kickdroid thread, download it, and use TWRP recovery to install it. Look in the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature for full instructions on how to flash the ROM. Please note, you'll also need to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip via fastboot after flashing the ROM.

I thought you said you had the ROM on your phone? Did you just mean the zip? If so, go to the How-To thread in my signature and follow the instructions to install the ROM and flash the boot.img. Then you can go back to the Facepalm thread. Just make sure you boot up the phone and set it up before doing the s-off process.
I got the rom to work
