HTC India to HTC Europe

Hi,
I'm in the UK and I bought my Sensation XE from Hong Kong and use it with a T-mobile sim.
The mobile seems to think it's Indian and I would like to change it to a UK or euro setup.
At present it has HBOOT 1.18 and has CID HTC__038 with ro.carrier HTC-India. Software number is 1.77.720.103.
I had to use locale app to change it from india to UK so that I could have a UK keyboard/dictionary and also receive UK news in the news app.
Now it's coming up to release time for ICS and I would like to make my phone so that it receives the UK version.
Is it possible to flash my phone with the most recent Euro RUU to do this? If I do will I still need to change the CID to HTC__001 and will the RUU change all the bits relating to India that show up when you run the CID Getter app?
I've tried running the RUU > "RUU_PYRAMID_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed" and it looks as though it will change my software version to a version lower than it is currently on. From what I have read on the thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033&page=2 about "How to debrand...." I was under the impression I might need to use revolutionary to get S-OFF, change my CID to HTC__001 or HTC11111 run the RUU then put S-ON again or leave it off.
All just a little confused as to what's best to do.
Sorry for the long post with multiple questions.
I updated the Mrs Desire to Runnymede AIO without too much headache the other day so thought I'd look into sorting out my XE.
Cheers

Finally got there by myself.
Had to HTC Dev unlock bootloader. Flash recovery with 4EXT recovery. Use 4EXT recovery to flash an old ROM with HBOOT 1.17. Use Revolutionary to get S-OFF. Use RUU for most recent Euro GB ROM.
No have S-OFF, Unlocked bootloader, 1.18 HBOOT, Stock HTC european ROM. CID HTC__001.
Still no ICS update available when checking updates though

S-OFF and warranty

I am sorry, because this have probably been asked many times, but I have a little more specific question. I have HTC Sensation rooted, and S-OFF. Now I want to send it to the service under warranty, because I noticed there is a dust under my screen.
I know what I have to do, but I dont know which default rom should I choose, so they definitely would not suspect anything. Does it have to be carrier specific or just some random EU rom? I am from Slovenia, my carrier is Simobil (Vodafone).
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

you need to flash one based on your cid which kinda gives you carrier,country info
use this guide as reference

Thank you, i just read this, however I still dont know how to find the right ruu for my phone. There is no Simobil Slovenia on the ruu list. Any other way to find out which rom to flash? The thing is I dont really remember whether I changed my CID at some point or not, so I might not be able to see/find the correct one.
Thanks again.

Ok here is what I found out now:
If i check for CID via fastboot i get this: 11111111 (i remember now, i set this)
But if i check it via application CIDgetter i get this: HTC_032
Q: Is this HTC_032 the true default CID or it could be just the info of currently installed rom, which is Viper 1.3.5 ?

Hi,
CIDGetter will show you your original CID.
When you check it via fastboot,you will get your ACTUAL CID.
If you are s-off,then , you should be able to run a European RUU and get back to stock.
Then, follow the guide ganesh gave you to s-on.

the cid you got via fastboot is the current one you are having
and HTC_032 is the rom cid ..so if you are having stock rom ..it represents your actual cid

Thank you both for your answers. Hmm, so one of you think that CIDgetter gives you original cid, and one thinks it gives you the CID of current rom. If ganeshp is right, then I still dont know my original CID, as currently I have Viper S 1.3.5 rom :// If malybru is right then I have to flash rom with HTC_032 CID and not just any European rom? Again it is important, because I dont want to get rejected on my warranty...
Thanks again.

both of us (me and Malybru ) are saying the same thing
cid from fastboot ..gives you the actual/current cid you have right now
cid from cid getter ..will give you the rom cid (in case of viper it is HTC__032)
also based on your country ..i think the fitting RUU is indeed is of European Unbranded one (as malybru said )
if the phone is not linked to carrier (like contract phone ) then European unbranded is the right RUU

It has been bought through carrier contract, but they stopped locking them, but it could still be locked in case it was from old stock... I'll have to try that, so in case it is locked to the carrier, I need different rom? Im sorry for so many questions but im really lost in finding the right rom.

Goto http://www.4shared.com/folder/jKN2qjTl/HTC_Ville_RUU_Collection.html
I think there are a few T Mobile RUUs there. On the second page there is
RUU_Ville_U_TMOUS_1.84.531.2_R2_Radio_0.16.31501S.16_2_10.22.31501
which likely should work.
On the first page there is also an upgraded RUU for T Mobile
RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_TMOUS_2.35.531.7_Radio_1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04
If your OK with an upgrade go for that one. Just remember it may upgrade your bootloader and radio. If you wanted to flash older radios after that, you would have to go through a more complicated bootloader downgrade.
Those should work.
AKToronto

actually the ruu i have downloaded that says its the wrong model is exactly the following
RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_TMOUS_2.35.531.7_Radio_1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L_release_279577_signed
as Ive looked inside its ROM this ruu is for t-mob010 not for t-mob102. and i guess thats why it fails.
what now?
Ive realized my phone loses signal from time to time and after a research i found out that upgrading to that specific version will solve the problem, but right now i cant really get into it coz i don't know the exact RUU to use.
the process i tried to do this is
1.i tried the normal way
-boot into fastboot
-relock the bootloader
-reboot to fastboot again
-run the ruu
-got error 130
2.i tried without locking the bootloader
the same process
-got error 155
i dont know if im missing something here, im new to android and all the flashing stuffs, any help would be appreciated.

So, I've found out that T-MOB102 refers to T-Mobile Austria, and I should be looking for one with this signature x.xx.112.x.
Still I haven't found any with the signature for ONE S.
Any Suggestions?

still nothing on the TMA T-MOB102 T-Mobile Austria RUU.
I've tested every RUU in Here: filefactory.com/f/cf061f69b5bf7878/
None of them were mine, how is it possible that there's no RUU made for my phone type.
Should I Change my CID? Is It possible?

So I think you have two options. One is CID, or two is to keep trying to find that RUU.
1. There is a link to Super CID instructions in the dev forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1671643
-Do read a bit of the thread. You can still only flash a RUU that has a bootloader version equal or higher than what is on your phone.
2. If there is a RUU that you think exists that Football has not posted in his thread, than I suggest PM ing him. Thats how I was able to get the three Bell Mobility RUUs onto FileFactory. He was pretty helpful when I PMed him myself.
Cheers,

[Q] RUU to go back stock

I know there are several threads like this one but I prefer not to write another RUU request while you're answering to another user
So, I got a HTC One S S3 yesterday... I began to unlock it because I wanted to change its CID. I found that in the S3 version the CID can't be changed (still) when I had already installed the TWRP Recovery.
Now I'd like to go back to stock, but there is not a RUU compatible with my device: It has VODAP102 as CID, but the RUU for Vodafone AT here doesn't work. I found the kernel source for the same software version I have in htcdev.com, my question is: is it possible to build a RUU or at least a boot.img from it?
The sources can be found in htcdev /devcenter/downloads (sorry but being new I can't post direct links!), HTC One S as Device, Vodafone as Carrier and UK -
1.11.161.133 as software version. Actually I am in Italy, but the software and kernel version are exactly the same.
Thank you in advance.

Bump to first page and a little addendum:
I've read again all the possibilities I have with this phone, and if I have understood accurately then I'm forced to go back to stock, roms like the ThickDroid seem to require a non-branded CID, but that's the point... it is the CID that's compelling me to maintain this original Vodafone software, otherwise I would have already installed the HTC "basic" rom.
Am I missing something?
Thank you again!

Have you tried looking on HTCRUU.COM?
Check your radio id on the bootloader screen then flash the appropriate ROM

Yes I checked, but they have just unbranded RUUs, here in the forum there's one RUU for Vodafone but the region isn't the same as mine.

I've read that it is possible to flash an OTA update deleting the string that checks the CID - I'll have to take a look about that (moreover, it seems very difficult to find .zip OTA updates for this phone...).
Nevertheless I'd like to find this RUU update too - it is an important option too. So... bump to first page.

[Q] RUU for ONE S Dutch vodafone branded

I am having some troubles with finding the proper RUU for my phone.
I have a dutch vodafone branded phone which I rooted and flashed with CWM. I am still on 1.53 and i want to upgrade to 1.78 because of the home-screen button bug. I hope the OTA update fixes it.
In order to update my phone, I need to revert to stock and therefore I need the original shipped RUU .
Can i use the "RUU_Ville_U_Vodafone_UK_1.78.161.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258386_signed" ? I know this is UK version but there seems to be no NL version and my phones also downloads OTA_VIlle_U_Vodafone_UK_1.78 itself. So I figured i could also use the UK RUU. Is this correct?
Thank you in advance.

Anybody who knows the answer?

Well you should probably Run the RUU.exe without connecting the phone. When it runs, it places a "firmware.zip" in a temporary folder (please search for the exact location of the temporary folder as I don't exactly remember it). Open the firmware.zip file to view its contents. It should have a "android-info.txt". Open it and you'll see the supported CID. If it matches with your phone CID, you're good to go.
To get your phone CID, use CID GETTER from store. It shows CID in red at the top of the app.

Thank you. I read about that but I couldn't find the firmware.zip. I took a guess and it turned out that the RUU is correct. So for other dutch users on this forum: I can confirm that 1.78 UK Vodafone RUU works on dutch vodafone branded phones.
