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
i have desire SLCD S-off which i need to unroot for warranty purposes. i have tried RUU files from shipped roms website . both 2.29 WWE Ruu and .210 WWE Ruu .
on both im getting this Error 131 Customer ID error.
i dont get it. i bought factory unlocked HTC desire and it doesnt have and carrier branding. Nor did i use any gold card when i rooted my phone using unrevoked.....
any one have a clue how to unroot my phone?
hboot is 0.93 version
Edit : Turns out it was a Vodafone desire... used the RUU provided by EddyOs and its done.... thanks Alot to EddyOS
Can you still use your phone? If so, just create a goldcard now and rerun the ruu.

Where'd you get the phone and which ROM did you use?
EDIT: Try this one:
http://hotfile.com/dl/80036791/8a6c...5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed.exe.ht ml
It's the Asian RUU, unbranded but regional

i can use the phone .... but it was not carrier logo phone. it was non branded.
do i still need to use gold card .
secondly if i use gold card and flash the WWE ruu and skip tht 131 error is there any risk of bricking?

i got it from a local store but i once put up a question on htc asia website (they ask for phone IMEI number) .... they sent me a mail saying my phone is UK version so i need to contact the customer services of htc uk. when i contacted them they replied
and its not carrier labelled ... i never had to make a gold card to root it in the first place
just tried the downgrade utility... it days i need goldcard.....
device CID is VODAP001.....
so i should just make a goldcard and install 2.10 Ruu WEE rom or do i need to look for some specific rom of some specific carrier?
also if i need to download any specific carrier branded RUU will it relock my phone to that carrier after flashing RUU? if so how to stop that.
thanks for your replies
That's a Vodafone handset, try this one:

Vodafone stopped branding the phone after the first FroYo update but it still have a Vodafone product code so you still need Vodafone RUUs

thank you very much for the link. do i need to worry about phone locking to vodafone network after RUU install? i dont have vodafone sim with me at the moment?
No, their phones aren't sim locked (or shouldn't be)

Can anyone tell me where i can find a rru for Rogers?
Im trying to unroot my desire so send back to vodaphone.

The only rom that dosnt say the above is UK vodaphone 1.19.161.5 but this says BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
Im on hboot 0.83
Im really stuck on this tried loads of RUU's but still nothing
Please help, cheers
Create goldcard:
http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
Put this in your desire and run this exe after downloading on your computer:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed.exe
Next time use the search, this problem was discussed and solved many times.
Thanks that RUU was all i needed
Here's the latest Vodafone UK RUU, 2.33.161.2
http://www.multiupload.com/K0FR1OK301
No gold card required if you have a Vodafone handset
i have an orange branded uk htc desire with s-off, hboot 0.93 radio 5.17.85.08 i have tried several roms took me about 20 just to get 1 that worked so i could finally access the phone, now i have done that i have tried wwe update 1.21.40 where i get error 131 to do the with cid I beleive you have to use a branded rom? but i cannot find any orange ones?
can someone help me out to turn it back to stock with standard rom?
thanks
there is none for orange. u must create a goldcard to bypass the cid check. go to Desire Q&A/stickies (first post) and read bortak's troubleshooting guide. link for the goldcard tool is there with instructions.

ok i have followed just about every guide under the sun now, been doing it for 6 hrs
i have tried many methods trying to remove the soff with gold card nothing happens, but same file on a normal sd card it says CID Incorrect so how come it finds the file and tries but realises the CID is wrong on the normal card, but when i put the same file onto the gold card and then try to reboot it does nothing at all, doesnt even mention and its the same PB99IMG.ZIP file on the card?
i am lost, tried the method using android flasher but that will not run on my pc even now i have installed .net 4.0 just nothing happens when i run it, head scratching! its not even my phone
tried a few wwe ruu but they will not update which is all i wanna do, i believe its down the alpharev custom bootloader
Alpharev downgrade and 2.3 RUU, easy as cake.
Or alpharev dowgrade, goldcard and WWE RUU unpacked and used as PB99IMG.zip.

how do you use the bravo_downgrade.img ???
because i have tried the PB99IMG_downgrade and experience the problems i listed above?
thanks
working now, thanks
I have T-Mobile branded HTC Desire with s-on with T-MOB101 cid code. Now i need RUU with same cid so i can flash it. Btw phone is stuck at boot screen. I looked everywhere with no success, could someone help me finding RUU I need?
Try the 2.3 RUU. It isn't branded, and you don't need a goldcard. It should work just fine.

First of all thanks for the quick response. I just realised today that all the RUU files i found before was posted in 2010(all froyo i guess) which forces me to match cid when flashing with s-on. Anyway I downloaded 2.3 RUU from the official HTC site which rebrands my Desire(didnt know that), and its all fine. Huge thanks to you bud.
