No. If you want to remove bloatware or install a modified stock rom you need to have a custom recovery and being S-OFF or an unlocked bootloader.
What you can do if you do not want any of that, you can create a goldcard and flash an Unbranded RUU that will not have any carrier specific apps and you will still have S-ON and no root or custom recovery.
making a goldcard is necessary? i mean, if i will download ruu and run it, follow that it shows... will be possible to change my stock rom?

No, that is because the CID signature will fail (which is in your case CWS__001 that is AT&T specific). Goldcard is made in your sdcard and does not leave any kind of trace if that worries you.
so in my case i must make a goldcard right? and can u please tell me which RUU is best for my phone i mean free of cellular company things. and one more thing right now my
android version is 2.3.3
HTC sense version is 2.1
baseband verson is 12.56.60.25u_26.10.01.03_m
build number is 2.47.502.7
software number is 2.47.502.7
for all this information is necessary to match the other stock rom or not? if yes then please let me know the brandfree stock rom file location
hope i dont ask u alot do i?

Using any WWE rom will be just fine. But if you want the 2.3.3 unbranded RUU use this:
http://www.share-online.biz/dl/NDDJ1UJMHF
Create the goldcard, rename the file PD98IMG.zip and place it in the root of the sdcard then flash in hboot.
one more thing i would like to tell u, my phone is unlock for all SIM NETWORK..... will this impact on unbranded stock rom?
if i will use any WWE stock rom then i dont have to create a goldcard? and download this file that u have mention on ur reply?
i have found this link http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Ace where all RUU in exe how can i convert it in ZIP?

Those are the links that I have. WWE are the unbranded ones and build versions should be 3.xxx. You will always need to use a goldcard, it doesn't matter that those are unbranded RUU's you device is not.
To extract the .zip file from those RUU's follow this:

Hey,
[i'm new here, but i couldn't find a post with this exact problem]
I've been using my HTC Sensation rooted for about 8 months now on 2.3.4/5, and with ICS officially being released i want to update to ICS.
I do have my phone rooted but i do not have any custom roms installed.
In theory it should just update OTA to ICS but when i try to update it my phone reboots and then it gives me this image of an android mascot besides a warning mark (the image didn't work.). Is this superuser blocking the update?
Now i'm wondering what is the best way to get ICS update to work.
At this moment i don't care if i lose the root on my device.
I've been thinking about flashing it so that it would remove the root, make it S-on and remove superuser. (basically make it like it was when i bought it.) and then updating it to ICS.
Any help with my problem or on how to handle the flashing will be appreciated.
If you're rooted, download 4EXT updater, flash 4EXT recovery, flash the 3.32 firmware, then flash an ICS rom.
If i'm correct that will give me a custom rom.
And at the moment i would like to keep the rom stock because i would like all the options to work.
If i'm wrong and it will update to stock rom, then i'll give it a go.
Otherwise is there a way to update to stock rom?
You can't be rooted to flash the OTA, and you HAVE to have the stock recovery too
alright so i need to unroot the phone and somehow manage to uninstall superuser (if it doesn't uninstall with the unrooting).
So my question then is,
Is this possible to unroot the device?
Maybe someone can link me to a good tutorial ?
You need to restore stock recovery and your oringinal Rom intact ( not delete apps in the stock rom). Stock recovery can be obtained from RUU.
Or just flash New firmware and custom Rom if your phone is s-off.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA Premium HD app
alright, can i use any vodafone stock recovery for my device?
and is there a tutorial around? for noobs like me?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
Guide for debranding or going back to stock.
Basically you need to download your stock RUU and go back to your original CID (if you supercided).
The guide basically covers almost all your concern in returning to stock rom and recovery.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio
i'll give that a go tomorrow and let you guys know what happend.
[dumb noob question!! this should make my phone look like it was when it came out of the box right?]
If i'm correct i need a RUU.
Is it possible to do this tutorial using the OTA update file i got for the ICS update?
Update
So,,
After 2 days of trying to download a good RUU file.
I still don't have it, filefactory always says that the free download slots are all taken.
So i would love if someone could tell me if it is possible to just flash the update file called:
OTA_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_R-1.50.401_release_252072fll6erqo75dsziua.zip
I would appreciate a reply telling me if this is possible or why it is not possible.
As said, you need to be on a stock unrooted rom and stock recovery.
Is your phone branded or unbranded. What RUU were you trying to download? 1.50.401.1 or else?
Also, did you supercid or not? if yes, you need to go back to original CID to get OTA.
Do not attempt do flash the OTA.zip from a custom recovery because it will fail.
I have RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_R_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_228602_signed wich is the latest GB for european unbranded devices. If this is what you are looking for, I could upload it for you. Let me know.
@kualmente
I would appreciate it if you could upload your RUU so i can use it.
As for the phone,
I still have stock rom and recovery, i only rooted it and did supercid.

it is recommended to change your CID to SuperCID, however, for rogers users we don't need to..since our bootloader is unlockable from htcdev straight.
for custom roms.
1. unlock your bl if you havent
2. flash the custom recovery image, cwm or trwp..
3. put ur custom roms in your internel sdcard, and go from there.

This is the part that is confusing...we do or do not need to have SuperCID? For one, I have been holding off on installing any of the custom ROMs as im not sure about this step. I've been unable to successfully get SuperCID on my rooted/unlocked/CWM installed Rogers HOX. Would love to try some of the new ROMs. A Rogers specific guide would be awesome. Anyone up to it?

I'm pretty sure you only need SuperCID if you plan on using any of the other region's RUUs.
I think that the normal CID should be fine for just flashing CWM ROMs

Read the top post of the ROM thread you want to flash. It will usually tell you if there are any extra steps.
In particular, some ROMs may require that your kernel be from a certain firmware version. For example, many of the ROMs right now are based on the 1.85 kernel. But you can often flash the newer kernel by pushing the boot.img for the custom ROM using fastboot. But it should say in the particular ROM thread you are looking at.

What ROM do you want to flash? CleanROM 2.2 and Xi40 now have flashable boot images (boot.img). So no need to update to 1.85 first.

which one is the one i need??
It depends on which phone you've bought, for which region. Check the CID of your phone - "fastboot getvar cid" in FASTBOOT mode.
P.S. I might be wrong, but I remember both of the mentioned RUUs being Sense 2.1.

RUU needs to be run / executed (.exe) on your PC with your phone connected to the PC via USB.
The Recovery will go back to the stock HTC Recovery.
After flashing, you will loose Root , & will be S-ON with the 2.xx Hboot. Also, you will be able to receive OTA updates from HTC.
Regarding, the rest of your querries, I suggest you read stuff from the INDEX, There are a lot of threads about returning back to Stock & Stuff...

Run a RUU that supports bootloader unlocking. If you do this with a PD98IMG.zip you need to put the file in the root of the SD card and name the zip exactly that.

Your RUU depends on which DHD software version you are running. If you can't find one you need to make s gold card and flash another version's RUU.

Why are you trying to get S-Off? I'm not willing to help other people with the manual S-Off method because I haven't done it personally and it's a method meant for advanced users who don't need help anyway; if you need help I advise that you stick to just unlocking your bootloader.
ADB and fastboot are two separate things. You can fastboot flash the boot.img without bricking the phone, yes. My signature has instructions for flashing the boot.img.
If the battery level fell, it fell...flashing stuff takes a lot of power. If you let it hang on the splash for awhile I could see it dropping 90%.

If it takes more than a minute, you probably didn't flash the boot.img.
Because I didn't understand the question. And still don't. With an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, the procedure for flashing all ROMs is the same.

Now I am not sure that currently my bootloader is locked or unlocked? or else should I have to unlock it first through HTCDev and then relock it?
Please it has been 4 months I am trying to root but I couldnt find a solution.

AAHK is retired and unsupported. Just unlock the bootloader and fastboot flash a recovery. Then flash a ROM from recovery.
Hello all,
So finally, I have managed to S-OFF my phone using JuonoputBear (I never get this spelling right!). Downloaded the latest version for Ubuntu and can't believe I only did the wire trick once and it was done.
But anynow, to my surprise, the JB tool went on installing the JB hboot itself. Initially I thought it would ask me to install it or not and I would refuse it but... it didn't even give me the option. So now I am stuck with the JB hboot which I dont want.
So the questions is, is there any way I can revert back to the stock hboot?
Thanks guys, all your help made it possible for me to S-OFF my phone.
Regards
just to know that with patched hboot you are fully unlocked and you can use all fastboot commands
i don't find a reason to return to official hboot

Thanks for the reply. The reason I wanted to go back to stock hboot was that its highly unlikely that I would be using those extra fastboot commands. Besides, I dont like the Juoponutbear logo on top of the hboot.
Also, now that I am S-OFF, I am kind of gone sensitive to installing any ROM. I intend to install Android Revolution HD ROM but I dont want to flash anything wrong on my device like Radio etc. I only want to flash whats need to run that new custom ROM. I guess that doesn't include the kernel as I already have ICS stock ROM.
Can anyone point me to the right direction? Where I can find the steps to install custom ROM without any risk of flashing something wrong?
Thanks.

Hi,
There is no way you can "Accidently" install a radio.
You are not in bootloader for any length of time normally,so ,it should not matter what is written at the top.
That is just the way Juoponutbear operates and leaves it's mark.
It is the only way to s-off for you,so ,you are stuck with it.
Unless you s-on again.
As for flashing ROMS,put it on the root of your sd card,choose zip,install zip.
That's it.
EDIT:
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
If you flash Kohr-Ah's Universal 3.33 firmware,does it say Universal at the top?

Is that all? I thought that once you have flashed the zip package, you have to extract the "boot.img" from that zip package of the ROM and flash it separately?

Hi,
That is the beauty of s-off.
No separate flashing.

Sorry I had to come back on this one. I was checking the Android Rev. HD thread and in the download section it said it is necessary to flash new firmware package before flashing this ROM/ And the firmware package also contains radio flashing.
Since I am on Stock ICS at the moment and my firmware is 3.32. Do I still need to flash my firmware?
