Hi There,
I've sold my HTC One S and need to reflash it to stock. It was originally on Orange UK.
I can't find the Orange UK rom or RUU anywhere.
While I don't think the buyer will know or care what ROM it has, the HTC boot screen saying its running a software build owned by HTC doesn't really help.
Has anyone got any ideas of what I can do?
Thanks,
Omar

OKAY,
1. Try flashing stock recovery hopefully the initial boot image shall be gone ELSE
2. Save your CID, change it to generic CID like 11111111, run 2.2 RUU(EUR firmware or your firmware if available) (by this time you should have manually flashed stock recovery, and bootloader locked), after this your phone is completely STOCK! If wanna return back to orange, unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, gain root and change the cid back to original! than flash stock recovery and bootloader lock!

Hi Guys,
I have a HTC Sensation which I rooted a few weeks ago. Since then, I have gotten a new Samsung Galaxy S2 which I prefer so I planned on selling my Sensation. I was in the process of unrooting the device, following steps I found online.
However, when I tried to install the RUU, it got half way through the process and told me that the RUU was wrong for my handset. Unfortunately at this point the software had already wiped the phone completely so now when I start it up it just sticks on the HTC splashscreen.
The RUU I used was RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed
When I checked my version in About Phone, I had 10.56.9035 .00P but I though they were so close that this must be the correct one.
Can anyone help me?
Try doing it again. Not sure it will work, but to be safe wait someone to confirm this or give another answer.
Might be the incorrect RUU since I assume you didn't change your CID, try to get the exact version that came preloaded in your phone. Should work

Is your sensation branded, european, asian etc. if you but yours from t-mobile you have to get the t-mo one
try pull out your battery and put it back in. and try to boot into recovery (power and Vol down) that worked for me. good luck

I think this is the problem. Maybe you have to flash some Vodafone one.

do you know where i might find one?
Ok, I just managed to check my CID, its VODAP001. Anyone know which RUU I need?
you should of sold it rooted the point is to get rid of the phone
OK, I've managed to fix my issue. What I did was change my CID to 11111111 with SuperCID. then I just installed a stock ROM. Running better than ever too!
So my Sensation was S-Off and rooted however it started to play up so went back to S-On and Un-rooted, HBOOT now reads ****Locked**** and S-On. Is this all I need to do, does something more need to be done, will they be able to tell? They said on the phone if warranty is voided then I must incur the cost of fixing it..
Id really appreciate your help guys.
If its fully stock with s-off and stock recovery your good to go

Ok thanks, how do I know if I have stock recovery?
Hi, i am sending mine back tomorrow as well.
Do I have to put it back to S-ON? I've heard its risky.
Best to, and it's not risky if you follow the guide to a T
Make sure you've set the CID back to what it should be before doing it (assuming you changed it in the first place)
Hey, it looks like mine's going back as well.
I'm a little unsure of which version HTC rom was default on it because I bought it from Pixmania and not a carrier.
It originally had Vodafone branding and the box is written in German.
I don't think I've changed off of the original kernel or radio as I've only switched roms through ROM Manager since I rooted the phone using these instructions.

I too am wondering the same thing, but my problem is slightly different. My phone wont even power on so i was unable to s-on factory rom it, im unsure of what exactly needs to be replaced on the phone so idk if theyre gonna be able to see that the software has been changed.
Hi again,
I found my CID: VODAP102, it's for Vodafone Germany.
Where can I find the matching stock ROM?
Thanks,
ANKh

I'm not so sure. This guy had a Vodafone_DE RUU, so I've sent him a message begging him to re-post it.

Uhoh, i didn't change the CID back but I did S-ON...
Will they notice if its just a hardware repair?
Too late now, I guess I will find out...
Okay, my Sensation is ready to go for repairs:
I found an old HTC_Pyramid_Vodafone_DE RUU here.
I installed it. And updated... and updated... and updated...
Because I still had my original cid I was able to get my phone into fastboot and "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Now my phone is running a stock rom with locked bootloader and locked S-On and stock recovery.

Yes it did, HTC UK repaired the phone and converted it to a stock HTC UK phone without any German or Vodafone stuff on it anymore.
They didn't charge me anything for it.
I've send my desire s back to HTC caus of some probs with my battery.. it was rooted and s-off.. when I get it back it was s-on and unrooted.. I've paid for nothing..
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA
I sent my Sensation back a few weeks ago because the touchscreen stopped working with S-OFF and they didn't notice and is still S-OFF now!
Hi to everyone!
I buy a rooted htc one s and i'd like to revert to stock but i can't!
I try everything (unlock,lock,recovery,ruu) but nothing happen.
I receive all the time some errors like 155 or 14x...etc etc.
My CID is quite strange because is VODAP102...
anyone can help me?
now my phone has
Kernel: 3.0.8
BB: 0.15.31501S.19_2_10.13.31501S06L
Build: 1.53.401.2 CL47230
Any one can help me?
Someone has the same situation?
p.s. sometimes the signal drop down for several minutes.....
i'm quite sure that mine it's a vodafone uk HOS...so there's anyone that made a nandroid backup or have the ruu for VF UK HOS?
Thanks a lot!!!
When you try to run RUU have you selected USB Debugging and switched off Fastboot?
i'm sure about USB debugging in fact the ruu start and go in fastboot mode after sending the data it stop and say something about signature etc etc...or fail with 155 error...
i will check if i disable fastboot...thanks!
i try but doesn't work.....i wait for VF UK RUU
someone can make a nandroid backup of his Vodafone uk One s??? please!!!!!!
I would need it tooo !!!

There is no Option to enable Fastboot, i flashed Stock Recovery and locked the Bootloader .. so the Ruu started the Bootloader by himself and i get a black Screen with the HTC standing in there.. nothing else to the point the Error comes. And the whole **** only because of the CID and that I'm stupid because i did delete my Nandroid Backup of the Vodafone Stock....
ehehhe once it happen also to me.....and i hate myself....we hope there are somebody outthere that have it...
vodafone 1.78 ruu is now available in rom section
it includes the 0.16 radio, so no need for OTA
I bought my used Desire S and it was rooted with revolutionary so i could not get OTA from 2.3.3 beyond. I read some threads but nobody was telling me which RUU i needed as my phone was unbranded and i was not sure about its origin. I managed to bring back the official stock Rom and original radios, hboot and downloaded and installed 2.3.5 successfully.
Nobody could help but finally i managed to take the risk and it paid off thankfully.
It is the easiest and fastest way to unroot, remove superuser, revolutionary and to restore hboot back to normal and S-On again, to get official updates including ICS.
Download the attachment "usmanxhmed.rar", it has Android Flasher and FlashENGHBOOT.
Attach your phone to PC with USB cable, make sure you have HTC fastboot drivers installed.
Open Android Flasher and select bootloader and browse to the file FlashENGHBOOT which you downloaded in file "usmanxhmed.rar", boot phone into fastboot and click flash.
It will remove REVOLUTIONARY **** from the phone.
Now download your specific RUU from this link http://www.filefactory.com/f/c64d333a2755a421/ i was unsure which is my RUU for the phone as i bought it second hand, my phone was unbranded, i matched the software version and radio version in my software information of the phone and downloaded the specific RUU.
After flashing the RUU my Desire S became factory fresh and back to S - ON and updated my phone with Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3 and hopefully/ may be i will get ICS in future as well
Good guide cheif :thumbup:

Thanks ttocs99
Quick question, this might not be the best spot for it but it is somewhat related.
My desire s is branded/locked to vodafone portugal, so i have no specific RUU in that list. What will happen if i use Europe one? Or UK's Vodafone?
Best Regards,
Daniel

hi guys first time poster. I have a HTC One X Global edition. I was trying to root the phone and something went horribly wrong! Now I am stock in a boot loop and I can only go as far as the HTC White welcome screen. All I want to do now is flash my stock firmware and get my phone back. I have relocked to the bootloader and now am just trying to find my firmware! My CID is: VODAP021. I would really appreciate somebody's help. All i need is the firmware download to flash onto my device correct? I just cannot find the firmware anywhere ? Or is there another solution?
