Here's my answer:
Just so you know, you cannot just RUU to any RUU files that you can find.
Your phone comes with a thing called CID, this CID is the unique identification of your phone, on what region it belongs to. You can ONLY RUU your phone to the region it belongs to. if you have received the CID error, that means, that RUU is not for your phone.

[Q] Bricked my phone?
Hi ,
Wanting to get rid of 3 uk junk and flash to normal UK RUU
Do we need super CID?
My bootloader is unlocked , can't download the RUU from from the Dev section as all the slots are gone , or when it seems to work it errors out .
Has anyone got the latest UK RUU file they can share with me and can someone confirm if I need Super CID to run RUU to unbrand
Thanks in Advance
Just flash Modaco or the Virtuous roms through recovery, these are unbranded and really good.
You will need to flash a Recovery image first though.
Hi and thanks
Yes , I understand this but I want to just unbrand through RUU then re-lock my bootloader.
Do we need Super CID ?
Ok can someone remind me if I need S-Off to change the CID , playing around with ADB at the moment
If Im honest mate, no idea what you mean by CID...
But if you want a new rom, all that needs to be done is unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash rom.
Thats all anyone has done in the dev threads, and worked fine for me (coming from a retail, unbranded unit).
You can 'lock' the bootloader again, BUT it never goes back to its true original state. This is as HTC designed their unlocking/locking process to be (and is stated in their terms when you go to their site to unlock).
Edit: OK, just read up on it. Possibly then! Depends how annoying 3 are I suppose... Probably best to ask one of the devs
Edit 2: CHeck the following, may be of help (though its for the One X)

Edit 3: If you're applying a flashable zip, does the CID limitiation on RUUs even come into play?
Hi thanks ,
Yea what I want to achieve is this .
My CID is HG3____001 this will need to be changed to a CID that is HTC UK specific usually HTC_____001
To find out your CID in ADB
Fastboot Getvar CID
To get to a retail version from a branded version , what usually needed to happen was this .
Unlock bootloader , change CID to 11111111 via ADB
Run the specific UK RUU.exe
Change your CID to the HTC_____001 which is the usual default for UK unbranded devices .
re-lock your bootloader and then you should receive OTA updates from HTC instead of your network supplier which can take months
I can't remember if S-off was needed to do this. I have just checked revolution site and One s is not listed , will play around tonight though and see
Thanks for the help so far
Hi, I know what CID is - coming from the Sensation.
I dont think its possible to change CID without S-OFF, you cant use advanced ADB functions with S-ON
Until revolutionary or someone else makes tool for S-OFF, we will just have to stick with HTCDev, Its not the best, but it allows to flash recovery and ROMs so its better than nothing.
Im pretty sure there will be some progress in the next few weeks, Once the phone is available worldwide
Ahh ok , thanks , yea this phone is set S- on , so S-off will be needed sooner or later
yeah, as development develops and more rights are needed from the phone, S-0FF will eventually be a MUST.
I wish it was available already, I hate the fact that HTC know i have tampered with my HBOOT and voided my warranty.
Luckily enough, if i have a problem, my provider fixes / repairs the phone, Not HTC, So i might just get off lightly
I think HTC will know if you have tampered with the phone period if they wish to look that far into it .
Unless you fry your processor where you have set it too high etc then shouldn't be a problem. If you have a hardware problem such as your screen fails , battery etc then should be fine .
As you say though , if you brought it through a retail unit then that is where it is returned so in some respects is a bit easier as they will use a third party repairer acting for HTC .
well with the sensation it was possible to return everything back to stock, Including the bootloader and S-ON..
There was no way it could be diagnosed as being tampered with, If you did it properly..
But with HTCDev. youve already submitted a code (which i assume contains serial number) so all they have to do is check whether that device matches anything on their database of tampered devices. Thats why i dislike it so much..
But i need root for most of my apps so there was no workaround for me...
I see on the One X forum S-off is under way . Can't wait to get this baby to true stock.
Just did another Google search for S-Off on the S but nothing as yet .
i have an htc chacha which is s-on, i want to unlock the bootloader since i need to root my device. the problem is that i didn't find an RUU for my phone's version which is 1.54.401.3 can anyone please help me

Can't run RUU due to upgraded ROM
Hi,
I'm having the same problem. My phone had a software update recently which upgraded the rom to 1.54.401.3 and now I can't use the RUU tool, as it requires 1.54.401.2.
Is there any way to downgrade back to 1.54.401.2 so we can use the RUU tool?

Cant get RUU same as others stuck on 2.3.5 build:1.54.401.3
hiya, i am a new Htc Chacha User and i really want a custom ROM
1st of all i really do appreciate the work that Htc chacha developers are doing really really great job... But i am stuck on 2.3.5 build:1.54.401.3....
The only way is to downgrade
but the downgrade guide has broken links and i cannot follow the whole process ...
please anyone try to get us a new guide of how to downgrade from 2.3.5 build:1.54.401.3...
i've swiped the whole forum but couldn't find anything helpful.... bits and pieces here n there that doesnt make any sense ..
please help us
Thanks mRzaame.
Thanks dude if i were near abt ur place i woulnt mind at all .... But i am stuck in bolton for a while
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using XDA
no bother at all
finally i found the solution!
nobody need to downgrade, and you don't even need to download the RUU 1.54.401.3. just skip this step 1 of unlock and go directly to step 2,
i did it my phone now is unlocked and i rooted it!
but before you go to step 2 make sure to enable USB debugging. (From the Home screen, MENU > Settings > Applications > Development > Check USB debugging)
Connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable that came with your phone. Wait a moment for your computer to identify your phone, this may take a few minutes
Very nice marwanbaradii!
its working
Tnx that was the solutions i needed
Hi marwanbaradii . I need to know what step 2 is and how to go about it?
Thanks

Try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604255 >>> This will downgrade your hboot to 0.98.XXXX, read through replies they simplify the steps further.
Then follow this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvg0i8in96M >>> to S-OFF your phone via revolutionary.
It helped me S-OFF my phone. I have same problem like you days ago, i was S-ON, hboot unlocked, rooted and hboot 2.00.0002. Now I'm S-OFF and permanently rooted. Hope this helps!
If I'm not mistaken (and most likely I'm not), you can't downgrade a phone without locking the bootloader first. So you need to lock the bootloader and flash RUU - and you're not using the correct guide for it. You need to do some steps that aren't in the guide.

Correct, but that's after you change your misc version, which is in the guide. Locking the bootloader is part of the steps, so no worries there, RUU's are also there, I think there's one from his region so no problem. Take it from me, I started from S-ON, rooted (temp i think), boot unlocked and hboot 2.00.0002 and the guide is noob fail-safe, given you researched enough to know what you're doing, and you just do what it tells you. You'll do the deed right.
Sorry, I was replying to the OP, but you posted before me so it looks like I'm replying to you instead. I meant the guide he mentioned in his OP, not your guide.

Thank's
I tried this, but the last step does not work with me, I can not bring the command line because cmd does not detect my phone when it is in bootloader, or maybe I'm wrong to maneuver?
Code:
then type in command prompt.
- fastboot oem lock
P.S: the bootloader is unlock with htcdev.com

What do you mean by "region": is the region where I live, or that or the phone was for its manufacture? if this is the second time how to recognize the region because I have not bought new?
thank's
Before starting with everything, turn on USB Debugging (settings>developer options) and turn off Fast boot (settings>Power) in your phone.
You installed HTC sync in your PC right? If not, first download and install HTC Sync (from here www(dot)htc(dot)com/sea/help/htc-desire-s/#download), you need the drivers from HTC sync, so your pc can recognize your phone.
Make sure you rebooted to bootloader. Then enter:
- fastboot oem lock >>> this is to "relocked" your phone so you can proceed to installation of the RUU.
First and foremost, is your phone branded? If yes, then choose the right RUU for you. If no, you can use the unbranded RUU. Or you can search the forum for your specific region, I think Europe RUU is ok. "Region" is your area, where you live and use your phone. Im from south east asia, so i used asia RUU. Also take note of Post #5 of the first guide, he has summarized everything and i believe he's in the same region as you. Read through everything before starting.

Thank you so much dan fish and everybody who who tried to help me !
and now it's S-off with revolutionnary !
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.
