Noob Question- How to Unbrand Htc One S

Hello guys, as you can tell by my post count I'm a noob, so please go easy on me.
I'm interested in getting rid of the Tmobile RUU on my phone and putting in the Euro version. I'm sick of the pace of T-Mobile USA updating their phone. So I was hoping I could get help with this procedure.
Warning, I have never unlocked a phone before. Anyone want to take this quest?

there are topics galore about this.
unlock your device (search 4 tread)
change your cid ((via supercid method) search 4 tread)
relock (search 4 tread)
run a ruu.exe compatible with the cid ((you can do a older ruu, then update via ota) search 4 tread)
why search 4 tread??? if you dont understand what your doing, dont even start.

Thank you. I read through most of them but I got confused with the super cid. If I used that that means any ruu file will work? Also does that mean I won't be able to update ota?

you dont have to change to supercid, you also can change to a HTC-cid that will allow you to run a ruu.
there is a list here on xda with all htc cids from countrys (branded and unbranded)

AW: Noob Question- How to Unbrand Htc One S
Yes, but only if you are not on supercid.
Supercid + ota = brick

Just use HTC__001 (for almost every www rom) or a unbranded EU Cid (for example the UK version).

Problems with my new htc one s

Hi all! I bought an HTC one s (S4) and i have some problems.
1. Battery life is not so good. I charge the battery every day. Battery is full charge in ~3 hours. Is this normal?!
2. Internet signal is weak. sometimes it completely disappears and it does not connect until i get on airplane mode and return to normal. that happens outside the city, in city my signal varies continuously from 3g to h, is not stable even if i standing still. I`m from Romania and phone is from another country because here is only with s3 processor.
3. Consume a lot of net traffic and i don`t know why. in half an hour consumed ~8mb only with whats app (is true, fb was runing in background and i recived notifications but i don`t enter to see photos).
My old htc wildfire did not have these problems. This things are normal or i must return the phone?

Battery life can be improved installing a custom rom (viper one s for example) Don't know about the other problems.
For the radio you may get it fixed with the custom rom.

Only one person is able to respond? come on, just no one knows the answers?
PS: i don`t want a custom rom.

You dont want custom Rom or you don't want to unlock?
There are completely stock custom roms.
If you unlock, get root on stock Rom.
Install custom recovery.
Then try installing different radio.
Or, unlock, supercid, s-off, return cid to og. , then return to stock Rom (ruu) with unlocked/locked and s-off device. Custom Recovery, Root and flash radio.

I do not want to change anything in software. If i get root on my phone i lose warranty. :crying:

Have you tried running the correct RUU? Maybe a fresh start will clear up those issues.
What carrier? Are you running JB or ICS?

I don`t know what is RUU .
The phone is not blocked to a specific mobile service (vodafone). Android 4.1.1 JB.
I use an adapter for socket. affect in any way?

I think your pretty limited.
Have you checked what signalfrequencies your country using? And what the phone uses?
Where did you buy the phone? Vodafone branded?

I read on gsm arena that the one s use:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100
My country have:
2G: GSM 900 / gsm 1800
3G: UMTS 2100 / UMTS 900
I buy the phone from Quickmobile. z520e is not available in my country, so it`s imported from another country (idk from where).
I have time until Monday to think if i keep the phone or return it and get back to my old wildfire. This probably i will make

Normaly a eu device should work flawlessy here. If thats it. A device from a different continent might not.
Check cid with app in store. Cid getter or something.
Just to check which country the device is from.
Here on xda there is a cid list from all countries. google it.
If its not a eu device ask the shop if the can provide it as replacement. Or buy somewhere else.
Does it start with a providerlogo or somthing when booting.
What smalband is the device using?
Go go settings/info/software/more

Yeah its same. Whats the number there.
1.13...... Like that.
Whas the device brand new?
Can you get in bootloader? And see if its relocked? Or locked? S-on
To check.
Go to setiings/energie. Unselect fastboot.
Now power down device. Wait till fully off.
Now push volume down + powerbutton for a few seconds till you see the bootloader screen. Check all the info there.
Now use volume down to select power down or reboot. Confirm with enter.

Did you see the hboot version.
Since your still running 1.11 radio.
There should be an ota/update available for you now. To get to 1.15 radio.
It might improve some things 4 you.
However getting s-off and supercid (for custom roms) might be problematic afterwards.
You have been warned.

[Q] Should I restore my original CID?

Hi all!
I got superCID to complete the s-off procedure, and everything went fine.
Now can I stay with superCID or it is safer to restore the original CID?
Thanks

I stayed with scid without problems...

I'm wondering the same, although after changing to super cid, I haven't continued to s-off. At the time there was an unanswered question regarding a few of us whose phone model is PJ04011000. I'm not sure this was ever answered in the Face Palm thread (post 818). Or ... what would I need to do to obtain s-off via Moonshine method. Appreciate any help!

My concerns mostly regards eventual future updates from HTC, even if i'm on Trickdroid 9.1...

Future updates on stock, i would advise to check twice before doing it on supercid.
Updates on custom roms is no problem.
Depends what your original cid and mid was/is. ( assuming s-off is done)
If its a branded eu device. Then i would unbrand it. (even when not on s-off)
There should not be a mid conflict.
If its a unbranded eu device. Change back to original. Or compatible with a common/general wwe ruu.
Most usa devices have a different mid then the eu devices and are almost always branded.
Fully unbranding these is still troublesome.

That's some insight into CID.
I don't have an RUU of JB for BM_001 and want to change to some other CID using s-off.
Can I receive official updates after S-on and flashing the new RUU? or will there be a problem?

If you just want jb and dont mind that your on stock bell rom.
Just s-off, then change back cid to original (as far is i know always 8 digits, check via fastboot with getvar all command)
Then run a older bm ruu. And just do the otas till, your on jb.
Afterwards you can always, change to a unbranded one if you want. there are guides enough on this forum.

THank you very much! I'll stay with Scid for now
