Hi,
im about to buy a HTC One S, which has a Vodafone branding on it. Is it disturbing or do u even see this branding? Can the Branding currently be removed?
I also want to use custom roms, can i do that on a branded device or does it disturb the HTCdev unlock method? Is there anything i should know about branded devices? I only hat unbranded devices yet and on them im familiar with rooting and S-OFF, etc. But from what ive read there is no way to unbrand the device or put it in S-OFF mode. Is that correct?
Sorry for my bad english, im from germany.
Thank!

First exuse me for english but I'm Italian
I just want know if it's possible to change a brand rom like SFR rom on a official HTC rom . I ask this because I know that new HTC Sensation botloader is S-ON and normaly we can change nothing.
At the moment, we can't, but there are people on here trying to unlock the bootloader to make it S-OFF... We need some sort of root access first, then we have to see from there.
You don't need root access to flash an RUU with a gold card but it DOES seem this is no longer the case with the Sensation
I want to S-OFF my Desire S. This means I will have to downgrade the HBOOT, as mine isn't supported. (maybe because it's a Vodafone branded one)
After downgrading the HBOOT and S-OFFing it, will the phone still be locked to Vodafone only? or will it be open to any U.K carrier?
Sorry for the noob question, but I'm relatively new to this.

You bought a ORANGE locked phone and it's after S-OFF it's not accepting a VODAFONE SIM sounds logical to me!
Just because you've S-OFF'd you phone it doesn't mean that you have carrier unlocked it - that is something completely separate...sorry.
EDIT: You can normally pay your carrier (ie ORANGE) or pay online through a website less than £20 to carrier un-lock your phone in this way, I'm afraid that I don't know a site to recommend as I bought an unlocked phone in th e first place, but I've read several similar threads over the last few months....in this forum so have a search and a read. I recommend that you don't use a unlocking website unless someone else recommends it first.

I thought that instaling this rom RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release will unblok my phone that is what i fugured out from the thread i downlod'it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506 for example in post nr.11 is talking about unbranding.
Is not the same thing with what im tring to do?

More terminology confusion....
Un-branding means removing the Network branding from your ROM that be stuff like network specific splash screens and network bloatware applications which they install on top of the HTC base ROM.
By installing an unbranded HTC ROM you will will un-brand your phone in that it won't have the signs of being from a specific network, it will be like if you paid for an un-locked phone it would come with this ROM installed on it out of the box.
But, even if you install this ROM on your device and therefore un-brand it your phone will still unfortunately be locked onto the network (carrier locked) from which you bought it.
I got it wrong then !
Thanks helping me understand !
Hey Folks,
i habe rooted my phone and my Bootloader says "Tempered" and "Unlocked".
Well now i have one Question, is it possible to unroot my phone?
I have to return it to a company, because of a missunderstanding.
So can you help me?
I know the way, how i look my Bootloader, but how can i unroot it?
if you run an RUU that should remove root.
you will not get rid of the tampered when you revert, it will just change to relocked.
Mine is branded by vodafone/1und1.
I know that i don't get rid of, but i want a 'clean' phone! ;-)
mine too was vodafone branded. I just rooted and removed all the bloatware..
if you return a phone unbranded it makes no difference. they only question devices with obvious signs of modding. Such as S-OFF, Custom ROMs ect ect..
i dont know if they will know its rooted, as the kernel is stock, if you just remove all apps, Including Superuser. i doubt they will look to far into it.
Usually they just flash the latest software and return it. Or in some cases just send out a fresh new one..
ive just returned my one-s rooted running virtuous rom to the phone store and they didnt even check it, swapped handsets and put old handset into the box and sealed for shipping

Simple intro, I got a u11 life from eBay, as at&t doesn't sell HTC anymore and my m9 is getting worn out.
The one I got was a T-Mobile version, and I want to flash the unlocked Ruu. Is this possible? I know I could just flash a ton but there isn't many Roms for this phone and I'm not sure if they are modified T-Mobile Roms or unlocked. Roms.
In the previous HTCs you can change cid / mid and convert to international/dev edit/unlocked.
Is this a option as we don't have s-off ?
I just need a fix to use this on at&t
