Put europe stock rom

Hello everybody, i've a big question for you I got an HTC One S with cid TIM__041, still locked. The installed ROM is the stock customized by my operator TIM, that's crappy without any updates, and i want to put the europe stock rom changing the cid to HTC__001 if it's needed. But i don't want to void my warranty. The device is OK, it has no problems.
How can I resolve this? Sorry for my bad english, but i'm an young italian
If you need bootloader information, here is it:
*** LOCKED ***
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.13.0000
RADIO-0.16.31501S.17_2
OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405
eMMC-boot

That was only 2½ hours later, in which the USA is mostly asleep. Patience young grasshopper ..ehmm.. I mean Italian.
EDIT: I missed the AM/PM. It was 14.5 hrs like frdd correctly corrected in the post below this one. Sorry for that.
I'm not 200% sure but I don't think you can change your CID without unlocking your bootloader. Unlocking your bootloader will not completely void your warranty. It will still cover unrelated defects. Also, you can always re-lock and go back to stock afterwards, but only if you have a RUU for your phone that accepts your new HBOOT (that comes with the EU RUU).
If the 'problem' is that you want to tinker with your device but not take responsibility, then there is no solution.

Try 14.5 hours but yeah jobo is correct you need htcdev unlock to root and change cid

So, if I unlock the bootloader, the warranty for hardware problems will not voided? I need only to get the european stock rom, what's the best way to get it? However, i don't think putting european stock rom will void the warranty :/
Thanks for answering my topic But when I maked the topic, in USA was day. xD

Me too, though I am on T-MOB005 CID. And I don't want to exactly root my phone. So until we get S-OFF, there is no way. Just have to wait and be patient, like me. (I'm still on 1.77 and 2.21 has already been released)

me too, i'm at 1.78, and i still didn't get 2.21 update i need it for wifi problems.

So, are there no other way?

You can try to just run the 2.21.401 RUU but probably won't work.
Or you can wait for TIM to release the OTA if you're only after the new radio, your branding will still be there.
You need root to change cid, and you need htcdev unlock to root. No other way yet.

Hm..are there some news about s-off?

Same here!! Can you please help me here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813535

I decided, and now I got 2.21.401.10 :laugh:
I follow this steps: (thanks addsfsds)
1. Unlock, install recovery mod, root --> HOW-TO
2. Changed CID to generic (HTC__001) --> HOW-TO
3. Relocked bootloader (It's important!) --> Command: "fastboot oem lock"
4. Installed 2.21 HTC Europe RUU (includes stock recovery + stock rom) --> DOWNLOAD
5. I'm free!

You guys are saying you don't want to change your CID until S-Off is out because you don't want to unlock bootloader... Even if S-Off is out, you still have to unlock your bootloader to change CID *facepalm*

So I needed the best choice, because I need europe stock rom now.

Don't facepalm without knowing. We don't want to unlock the bootloader now because once we get S-OFF, we can S-ON back again with no traces of being S-OFF'ed. However, with HTCDev, it says ***RELOCKED*** which is a clear indication that the device has had its bootloader unlocked before. Some of use don't like to void our warranties, which is why we're waiting for S-OFF.

[Q]OTA Update for Euro phone from overseas?

OKAY so this might be an odd question, mods can delete as soon as I get an answer that's ok but I have this situation:
I live in South Africa, where the HTC One S has not yet been released. On holiday in the Netherlands I decided to buy a SIM lock free HTC One S. With my old South African SIM card cut to size, the roaming features worked fine but I received the first OTA system update via a Dutch WiFi Network while still on holiday. This brought my device to software version 1.78.401.2 with Android 4.0.3. However I am now back in South Africa and although the HSDPA works fine here and such, I've seen the new 2.21 Android 4.0.4 update has since been released for Euro devices. I have checked my CID which is HTC__E11 or similar but checking under settings doesn't show any updates. Will the update become available to my device and can I receive the OTA update from South Africa?
I'm stock unrooted.
Thanks in advance. If suggested ideas include checking HBOOT please advise as I don't know how to check on this device, just came from an HTC Wildfire with CM.

AFAIK you'll get OTA updates based on your CID and it doesn't matter which carrier you're on. I'd imagine you'll get your OTA soon even if you pull your SIM out and move to Antarctica as long as you have Wifi. Never mind your hboot version it doesn't matter if you're on stock software, but if you want to check hold volume down for a while when powering on

Matt,
If the CID is HTC__E11 it means it is Europe unbranded. You should receive the OTA soon. But if you're like me and you're impatient, you can run the 2.21 RUU. But this will update your HBOOT and is currently not rootable. Checking for the HBOOT is the same as the Wildfire - Vol Down + Power.

Not true, I ran the RUU and rooted it. It's what I'm running on my phone at the moment.

But your phone was also rooted before the HBOOT upgrade? Other people have said they can't root it after the upgrade, if they haven't rooted before.

The first thing I did with my new device was run the 2.21 RUU followed by unlocking the bootloader and rooting it.
The only problem I had was running CWM recovery (probably my error) but no problems at all with TWRP recovery.

Correct, but isn't root system related and not firmware related?

Hey Usaff
Thanks for the advice, was slow to realize it was vol down+ power until the softkey lights flash
The RUU flashes and wipes the phone, correct? Strangely I remember using an RUU to get Froyo on my old Wildfire when it was still stock and somehow that functioned like an OTA and never wiped my data, might be remembering incorrectly, was a long time ago...
EDIT
Correct, but isn't root system related and not firmware related?

Is that the distinction between S-OFF and rooting? I know rooting gains access to Android system files and stuff, then is S-OFF just a security flag for HTC devices? Noob questions I know...

It is system related but firmware also greatly affects rooting, especially if a firmware upgrade upgrades your HBOOT version.

OTA Update on rooted One S (S4)

Hello
I've got a rooted One S, i'm trying to get the sense 4.1 OTA update but with no luck. I currently have the stock rom and just yesterday flashed a stock recovery. I managed to download the update but about a quarter of the way through the installation I got a red triangle. About five minutes later the phone reboots and i'm back to square one. I've also tried looking for an ruu for tmobile uk but to no avail.

Have you tried pressing VOL UP on the triangle?
Check for updates by going into the dialer and typing *#*#2432546#*#* (numbers stand for CHECKIN). Stay with the update the whole way through. Or better yet, since you're rooted change your CID to HTC__001 and run the 2.38 unbranded RUU.

What does vol up do? I just tried it but nothing happened, and also do you know where i can find the ruu?

I'm also with T-Mobile UK and unfortunately there are no RUUs. Which is why I suggested de-branding. How about holding the VOL UP button? I think that was it.

I just tried VOL UP it went into the bootloader, then i went to recovery and i got the same red triangle again

Hmm. At this stage I think the best option would be to de-brand yourself, run an unbranded RUU and then change your CID to T-MOB005 to receive the update. Then that should work.

Quick question!!
If I change Cid to HTC__001 will it change the radio or anything of the sort that will make it not work with my network in Canada. What are the benefits of keeping your Cid from the network? Sorry for the noob question!

Carrier unlock and bootloader unlock are two different things. You can run the software update just fine.

What does Tampered mean?
Hi ,
Still a little confused ( sorry, total newbie)
I'm using a at&t Htc one x in India. When i load it in HBoot it shows:
*Tampered*
*Locked*
What does the tampered mean? can i still run the RUU?
on the HTC site, i could find only a CRC file... can i install the Asia version or should i install the Usa version
Pl let me know.
Thanks!

If it says tampered that means it was unlocked at some time and was probably supercid.
You can try using fastboot to determine the CID, it may be changed back CWS__001 or could still be 11111111
You would most likely brick if you try to ruu to 3.18
You would have to S-OFF first which is somewhat advanced and creates a big security hole if you don't know what you're doing.

Changed my CID are OTAS safe now?

Hi guys, my one s was bricked because it had super cid and I installed the jellybean ota. My device has now been fixed and it came back with a vodafone rom on there :S the CID was vodap001 or something like that. It must be because the guy who I bought the device off of must of bought a vodafone device. Anyway I changed the cid to HTC_001 and succesfully ran the jellybean RUU so does that mean that my phone is now unbranded and seen as an unbranded device? Am I now safe to install otas or will they brick my phone? I'm hoping changing my CID to HTC_001 is enough.

Anybody? Man it's quiet here in the One s forums, coming form a N4!

yes.
device is now unbranded.
only the supercid and ota combo = brick as fas as is know.
htc__001 devices where able to do the ota.
but always look for user experience when doing a future ota, you never know.
