Hi All
I have a totally stock M4 4.2.2 phone from Voda UK
(it has the boot logo from Voda along with pre-loaded network apps)
I just want to make it a stock European version...(UK ideally) with no network logos or apps
End wish is a stock 4.4.4 with root (ideally towelroot or similar) so if I want to...I can unroot and leave untouched/stock
As stated...no htcdev done or anything with unlocking bootloader
Advice please?

I'm afraid that once you go root ( unless you only use temproot ) you can't go back to absolute stock.
To "transform" it to a European version you'll have to do Super CID, which requires unlocked bootloader & s-off.

Well.. What about..
S-Off....
SuperCiD
flash with stock European rom
Set CID back to the European one...(so it doesn't brick)
Re-lock the bootloader
S-On
That way... I have a stock European Rom 4.4.4 on a stock One Mini
?

Not entirely.
If I'm not mistaken ( I'm not a phone freak, just a computer hardware engineer & mediocre software programmer ) you can't re-lock the bootloader like stock.
It displays "Re-Locked" once locked again with fastboot or another tool.
You'll have a stock image, but you won't have the applications that are preloaded in the data partition which gets erased during the Bootloader unlocking process, and that blocks you from flashing any newer OTA updates via the classic method ( like a totally stock phone )

Will I get the official OTA update if I have unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev method? Actually, I unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev on my sensation which is still in Android 2.3.4. (At that point I didn't know that doing that would not allow supercid and all that stuff.)
If I will get the update.. I just wanted to know after the official OTA update from HTC, will it be a like a new phone? (yeah, i know it will be factory reset.. but i wanted to know if my bootloader, rooting and etc. Will that remain?)
I want the all the rooting and unlocked bootloader not to stay so that i can start afresh with Revolutionary and flash one of the Sense 4 ROMs.. Please help!!
Thank you!

Yes you will receive OTA and bootloader will remain **unlocked**. All you need to receive OTA is stock rom, stock recovery and original cid (S-OFF or S-ON doesn't matter).
By the way if you are still on android 2.3.4 most probably your Hboot is 1.18 that means you can S-Off using Revolutionary and then supercid, root etc.. (you can revert easily to original cid and stock recovery anytime).
If you upgrade to ICS 4.0 with Hboot 1.27 you won't be able to S-OFF and supercid unless someone will find a solution. Actually Hboot 1.27 is not supported by Revolutionary.
Ota to ICS 4.0 will not factory reset your phone. Your data and apps will be untouched.
Honestly I don't understand if you are rooted or not. Unlocking bootloader by HtcDev doesn't mean you are rooted. Could you please clarify?
Hope it helps.
Hi everybody,
I have the HTC One X from AT&T (evita), I installed a custom rom but now I want to back to the OFFICIAL Stock Rom AT&T.
My phone is already "sim-unlocked".
1- I must install the OTA or the RUU file on my phone?
2- After this, must I unlock the sim again?
3- And could I receive the OTA update even if I don't use AT&T sim?
Thank you for your attention and your answer.

Sim unlocking has nothing to do with installing custom/stock roms.
Do you mean "Bootloader unlocked" ??
**BE CAREFULL** Many people have bricked there devices flashing a stock ROM when they ran the Super CID hack.
At this point the WISEST course of action I can give you is to use the S-OFF hack available on here, Facepalm S-Off for your device (That does require Super CID) and Root. Once S-Off is set the correct factory ROM for phone won't brick your device.

You'll lose your warranty by doing it ( at least if the phone dies, if you get physical defects like the cracks in the plastic they will most likely replace it for you for free under warranty ), but you can unlock the bootloader, s-off, and install the latest stock rom ( non-branded ) to get rid of all the extra stupid apps and have a nice stock Android 4.4.2 + Sense 6 One Mini.
There's a Nandroid backup of a stock ( and OTA upgradeable ) Android 4.4.2 + Sense 6 "recovery file" for you to restore with TWRP 2.7.1.1
You can find it by searching through the latest posts of the user @El_Svanto here v
I dont have warranty, so i don't care for that. I just want to have a stock ROM which is no branded and i wants to stay s-on and locked bootloader. If that posible?

have you tried downloand the TWRP version 3.0.0.2 https://twrp.me/devices/htconea9.html format the data and than do a RUU. the firmware will say modified if the bootloader is unlocked or if some sort of rooting or modding was involved. you can change it back to official with some simple adb commands. All the RUU and zips for any version of the A9 is in the general forum threads.
as above.
I just want to avoid the carrier boot animation and whatever apps they have installed on the phone. Thanks!
You need to unlock bootloader via htc dev, root, s-off, change cid and mid then flash the unbranded firmware.
