Changing brand firmware

hello.
Please, help me. I'm total noob and i don't understand the most of your's words, but i'm asking you: Be patient please =)
so, i've got htc sensation. The phone is branded by russian op. "МТС" (mts). But this op. Doesn't provide any updates: My sensation is still on 1.27.187.5 (radio 10.42.9007.00u_10.11.9007.15_m).
I want change my brand firmware to an official russian (europian? I don't know...) firmware, and i want to have ability update it officialy in the future. I do not want have an extra options (like root etc.), just official firmware, which i can update.
Please, give me some advice (in detail): What firmware do i need and how to install it?
I guess, I need RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed, right? If I'll install it, could I use it like ofiicial un-branded phone?

Thank you.
Can I use this new firmware as an official one in all respects?

[Q] my sensation can't find rom updates

i'm in o2 uk
my current rom is 2.3.3 version 1.34.2061
when i tried check for updates just got information that phone is up to date.
can someone confirm what is actually highest (original stock) rom version?
few months ago i tried flash custom rom, but i was not happy with them and i did rollback to original. maybe i didn't everything correct and this is a reason of lack updates

Did you super cid? I believe doing so would keep carrier updates from being sent to your device.

ok, thanks pal
maybe you know, where can i find newest official htc rom?
i'll try supercid and htc rom after that

Sorry... I think you misunderstood me. I was asking if you were already super cid'ed. Because if you were, that would explain why you were not receiving system updates from your carrier.
Setting your CID to super CID will not help you in this matter.

Ok, now undersdand.
I'm not sure did i replace cid or not.
How to check my current cid?
And finally how to rollback original cid. I'm in o2 uk

Here is how I know to check the CID on your device (and a lot of other details):
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/cmdline
That should result in a lot of text on your terminal. You want to find the value that follows: "androidboot.cid="
If you are super CID, it will be a bunch of ones (like 1111111) and nothing else.
I'll get back to you on the thread for a list of valid CIDs.

Thanks a lot.

Here is the thread that provides the most help for what you're trying to accomplish (at least from what I assume).
In it there is a mention of another thread where CIDs are being collected.
hth...

i can confirm that i had cid 1111111 in my phone.
i changed it first time for valid o2 cid but still not got any updates, then replaced for htc cid but still any updates got.
btw i'm sure, htc has released 2.3.4 for my device, and i'm stuck by 2.3.3

ok, last question
where can i find not branded, latest original htc rom?

I think this is the best there is for finding stock ROMs.
There is a FileFactory link in the 1st post (or right here) for a grip of RUU files. Those will contain the original distributions from the various carriers.
I wish I was able to point you to the correct one, but I really have no idea.
Happy New Year!

[Q] download RUU not from FileFactory?

Is there another place where
RUU​_Pyramid​_O2_UK​_1.50​.206​.1_R​_Radio​_10.58​.9035​.00U​
can be downloaded?
Tried over and over again on Filefactory but it just didn't start downloading.
Thanks

Well,my screen went totally frozen.I can see the screen,I can see if someone is calling(there is no sound also) just couldn't move the ring to unlock.Total unresponsive,the suggestion was a re RUU would solve the problem.
I had the phone for 13months now,never missed a bit and didn't even think about rooting it.I came here when the problem happened and after reading almost every post on this forum I shall have to reconsider.
But first..to make it work again.

Hi,
Oh dear.
Try unlocking it again.
Best thing then,is to try and run one of the European RUU ,with the same firmware (3.32 )
Maybe that will work...

[Q] problem with the new update

I have a htc one m8 verzion, i have root on my device,my device is from USA and in my country there is no way I import cdma handset.
Now that I know out an update to the device and I really want the update I can not update.
There are some way apart from making room update that I do not really understand these things? Is it because the cone is not letting me update over the air.?
(Im not from america).
Thank's for the helping...

I would suggest following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159 to update your firmware then flashing a 4.4.3 ROM or if you want the full, stock, update, follow these instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ent/ruu-m8vzw-4-4-3-s-off-onlynewest-t2873144
you should be S-off first, of course

S-Off using Firewater (might not work) OR Sunshine (should work but costs $25) http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...rning-discussion-4-4-3-root-unlock-s-t2874365

The update is being sent over the verizon phone networks wireless system.
Since you are not in a country that has verizon wireless you do not have access to the update direct from the phone issuer and will have to use alternative means.
You can try "weaksuace / Firewater combo" but this method seems to only work with the first batch of M8 sold by verizon.
You can try "Sunshine" which is a paid app that will unlock and S-off your phone, success rate to my knowledge is 100%
After successfully completing one of the above you will need to comeback and read the M8 Dev section thread for installing the new firmware, then read the section for installing Stock Rooted 4.4.3 rom or whatever 4.4.3 based rom you like.
Just remember all 4.4.3 based roms require the updated firmware first.
Weaksauce / Firewater combo and Sunshine alternatives were developed by the same dev, you find his directions, discussions and links to his tools and app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699091

DUGL to UHL conversion

Hey guys,
Here's the situation, I have a 128GB/6GB model on Euro FW '401'. Mine is the DUAL SIM DUGL model.... I am hoping to convert to UHL.
I know there is no 'S-Off' available yet... although Sunshine team are looking into a release as beaups has it working on his device. Quote from jcase in Sunshine Thread.
Anyway, I have 'trusted reboot' option and I can change CID and MID as required.
Trying to get everyone ready for when we do have s-off lol.
I REALLY DON'T WANT A BRICK THOUGH, LOL
Anyway, I have done the 'leg work' and extracted and compared MANY RUUs to find difference in the files (main one to look at being bootloader (abl))
Any thoughts?
@Kisakuku you seem to be on to it with this stuff + only S-Off model I know of round here
Please find Google Sheet where I have compared MD5s of the extracted files (from RUUs) and colour coded
Main Idea would be to get to UHL 401 and from there I could get to US 617.
To me it looks pretty safe, especially as all the ABLs (new bootloader) are the same across all variants, incl JAPAN and CHINA.
I.e even if device didn't boot then we could still get to bootloader to flash something else

Thanks in advance to all.
On a side note: did HTC turn off OTA for Unlocked bootloader (/with s-on) as ive had M7->10 and have always been able to get OTAs. i.e download

Are you saying mine is S-Off? No, just a regular OCEAN#WHL, S-On Unlocked.

lulz indeed. Although, that's not me. My handle everywhere is stifilz (makes it easier to remember lol).
I did come across that thread and that's what gave me the idea to look into it.
I just wait for s-off and/or someone else to try.
Thanks for the input thus far.....
P.S Still hanging out for the 1.27.401.x OTA

any thoughts anyone?

Hi everyone,
I have a DualSIM U11 with CID HTC_A07 and there is no updates in sight, while the HTC_001 is on Oreo already. Since we now have the S-OFF from Sunshine, would the OP's idea work? Can I change the MID and CID so that I have the HTC_001 European UHL version, to get all the updates first? (UHL because I don't use the second SIM slot and the little number 1 by the signal icon is kinda triggering my OCD. )

The european version's Oreo update isn't available yet and was delayed due to some "complexities".
If you want Oreo now, you should choose TW or US CIDs…*or install a custom ROM.

Nope. Not true. Cid HTC_001 (401) is not on Oreo. BS_001 (617) IS on oreo. Eu wwe is still waiting.
Yes changing the cid works but you might want to wait as BS_001 is htc's Guinea pig. HTC_001 won't be getting oreo before February, or at least I highly doubt it.

The problem solved itself - HTC released the update for EMEA. So thanks for the input.
I couldn't install a custom ROM as I didn't have the firmware for Oreo. I'm not S-OFFed.

Hi, did you manage to get the "cross-flash" done? (Dugl to uhl)
I am thinking about to do the other direction at the moment!
I have U11 eur ocean uhl and the question is if there is the posibility to cross-flash to eur ocean dugl?
Is the second sim slot only deactivated by software, or isn´t it present on the Hardware?
At the moment I use a stock system image from a dugl on my uhl with the dual sim manager, which only finds Sim 1 even with 2 Simcards in my U11, but I cannot flash a firmware for dugl because I am not S-OFF....so, the second sim slot is not working at this moment, hopefully that it is only software related!?
Do you have some information about this?
Thanks and Greets
