Hello out there,
i wanna sell my DHD. So, just in case I can't bring it back to the seller (T-Mobile Germany, device was branded by T-Mobile, too), I want to rebrand it, maybe with a stock rom and unroot it + S-ON.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks for your help
flash unbranded RUU, search development thread for appropriate file.
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R2_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF_release_163262_signed
And then
RUU_Ace_TMO_DE_1.39.111.1_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26. 03.02.26_M
? So, S-OFF and root are perm gone after these steps?

Why unbranded when he wants to rebrand his phone?
@DonPanda
Here is a T-Mobile Germany RUU
You will also have to do Radio S-ON and brand CID.
I did it like this:
- Installed RUU (WWE 1.32 though as I didn't have a branded phone)
- Rooted with Visionary
- Did Radio S-ON and stock CID with jkoljo's tool
- Unrooted with Visionary and uninstalled it.
After this it was completely stock again.
I'm not sure if you can do Radio S-ON and stock CID first, and then install RUU because this way you wouldn't need to root it.
Hm, i used the TMO_DE_1.39, cause the flash step with WWE file failed.
How ever, seems to work now and flashing the T-Mobile version.
Thanks for now

Hi there, i have read plenty about downgrading this phone but im stuck as to actually unlock this phone to work on my network 3 from the mentioned build version. I have been through quite a few pages and so far no help.
Can anyone help me please?
You do not need to downgrade if you have 1.32 based ROM. You can use my Radio S-OFF tool to SimUnlock your phone.

Hi All
I'm new to the forums today and have been reading up on Debranding my Handset as well as changing the CID.
I'm hoping one of you more experienced guys out there can clarify the inderstanding of a total noob here i.e. me.
Essentially I want to Debrand a Vfone DHD running 2.2.1 and simply flash the latest 2.2.1 Unbranded equivalent (HTC) My understanding however is that in order to install OTA updates without leaving a gold card in place I need to set the CID to HTC_001? So to do this I believe I need to:
(1) Downgrade to 2.2 using Gold Card Method
(2) Install Visionary and Root the Phone
(3) Use 'one Click' radio S-Off tool to set s-off
Here's where I need a little help.....
How do I change the CID to 'HTC__001' set radio S-ON and then flash the Unbranded 2.2.1 ROM?
Is it merely a case of using the tool ‘One Click Tool’ to do Stock CID and S-ON and then Unroot the Phone before reflashing Android 2.2.1 (unbranded) using the Gold Card method again? Or is there an easier solution?
I am essentially trying to obtain an Unbranded 2.2.1 CID HTC_001, Radio S-ON Phone.
Cheers

The radio s-off tool will give you superCID (11111) this means you can apply any generic or branded update

Thanks for that. One last quick question if that's ok. If I downgrade to Unbranded HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_R-1.28.405.1_R2_releasef3xogq2juqkgt3v5 how do I then re-upgrade to 1.72....unbranded? Will I be able to do this by searching for an OTA upgrade using the Phone or do I need to flash another rom manaually.
Thamks again
Hi,
Quick question hoping you can help with.
I have S-OFF (Previously Rooted) and recently installed the latest Gingerbread 2.50 WWE RUU (with a Goldcard).
Does the S-OFF mean I can install a customer ROM without having Root?
Is it possible to change the CID? I have a Vodafone UK CID so don't get OTA. (OK, its a second question! Couldn't resist!).
And Finally (really this is the final one!), I can't find instructions to revert my phone to original state, i.e. re-branded to Vodafone UK with S-ON for warranty. Can you point me in the right direction, please?
Thanks in advance...

With s-off and goldcard already in hand, you may downgrade it to stock 2.36.405.8 to gingerbreak or simply 1.32.405.6 and then flash any custom rom that comes across your mind. Your cid can be changed it the Oneclick Radio Tool.
To return to stock vodafone branded rom, just read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876&highlight=vodafone+original+img
If I'm not mistaken, S-On can be applied just as normal DHD should. Please do make reference to the stickies in Android Dev section.

Hello,
i hope i'm in the right section now.
I need to send my T-Mobile branded DHD to htc for a warranty repair and i need to revert to stock.
I have a couple of questions about that:
1) If i just run a RUU i will still be S-OFF, so what do i have to do before i run the RUU? Something special to do because ENG S-OFF?
2) What about SuperCID? I think i needed to change it during S-OFF Process (i don't remember, sorry)
3) What RUU can i use? I already reverted my HTC Flyer and there i needed the exact RUU which it was delivered with (i think because of the HBOOT version of GB / HC). As i don't know what the delivery Software version was (buyed it when it just came out) i don't know which RUU i need.
Thanks for help!
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/htc_d...nd_auslieferungszustand_wiederherstellen.html There is all you need (assuming that you are German).
I used the above posted manual and had no warranty problems!
Good Luck
Thanks, then i'll try it.
What is RUU?
I have a unlocked Inspire 4G(att, bought it rooted of ebay) but does the tutorital from that website work for me too?
I have a branded o2 Htc One x, can I just flash it with a ruu file from a genric model or do I have to still unlock the bootloader ect?
I don't really want to ruin the warranty.
Flashing a s3 was easy but seems alot more when it comes to this handset and so many threads and not sure which to follow.
Help!!

you need S-off to flash any ruu, if you unlock the bootloader, flash CWM you can flash a custom rom or just delete all the o2 bloatware but it'll still have the o2 CID

You dont need s-off to flash any ruu maybe to debrand the phone but not any

You need S-Off to get super CID to flash an RUU with a CID that does not match the CID your phone came with.
If you want to be able to flash any RUU (as opposed to a few particular RUUs) you need S-Off.
