You can unlock the bootloader and flash any custom rom but you will not be able to flash a different RUU other than your carrier branded one.
You can only brick your phone if you don't follow instructions carefully. Check the Dev section - there is a step by step guide to rooting your phone.
but , If you have unlocked via HTCDev the this would have removed your CID in which case yes you should be able to flash the WWE RUU on a branded device.
If you have not unlocked and are still running stock then no it wont work.
I've unlocked via htcdev and my cid stayed the same 001. There's a few threads which all say the same thing, and that is we need s-off to change our cid

Why do you need RUU to flash on an unlocked device. U have a choice to flash custom roms from Android development section. These custom roms from our developers are fully optimized to flash on.

Hey guys,
Just few questions. I have O2 locked and branded device.
I have successfully unlocked boot loader on my One V, also successfully rooted (i believe). CWM installed and old rom backed up.
Now I need to know how to flash stock rom Europe? I tried RUU Europe after root, but RUU was throwing errors and nothing happens. I tried rotted stock rom, all went fine except phone has no signal. I heard that to flash RUU I need to change CID, i tried and it won't change.
Could you please advice best route?
Also what is best stable fast custom rom for One V
Thanks
Hi
Is there already a way to de-brand a One V?
Since even with a unlocked bootloader there is still S-On
Regards

to again return to stock rom after rooting u need to relock your bootloader
fastboot oem lock
then get into bootloder mode and run the ruu
WARNING YOU WILL LOCK YOUR Bootloader and LOSE ROOT

With S-On it is quite impossible to change CID to debrand (AFAIK) but the phone is new, so development just started.
Thanks for reply
How about custom roms? Which one is most stable and fast for One V? Also with unlocked bootloader and CWM recovery, is it just download rom, move to memory card and apply update from zip file in CWM recovery?
until today the rc 2.0 is the best available rom for our device

I think for now that the stock is all right for me at least... Practicaly the update is just as you said. Unlock BL, get working recovery, get SU pack zip to SD enter recovery and flash.
Hi, someone would know tell me how to remove the brand(Vodafone) from my phone?
I have the software number 2.17.161.4. OS= 4.0.4
I want to install a ROM with Sense and JB 4 +.
Someone would know give me a help?
To debrand, all you have to do is unlock your bootloader (at htcdev.com), flash Clock Work Mod Touch Recovery, and then flash any custom ROM you like. There are plenty of them available in Android Development section of this Forum.
As far as JB installation, I'm afraid that - for the time being - you will have to wait that JB is pushed to European HOXs.

So, if you proceed with the removal of the brand, I will lose my warranty?
If so, how can I return it? Just install a ROM with the Vodafone brand?
Sorry for my bad English.
Debrand is not possible
To debrand your phone you need S-OFF, and that is not available for the HOX.
Because you have a branded phone, you cannot go to Jelly Bean Sense just yet, your CID does not match the one you need to install a JB Sense ROM.
You can unlock via HTCDev, flash a custom recovery and flash anything, where you don't need to flash a newer firmware (Hboot).
Edit: You probably cannot go back if there is no RUU available for your device and brand. You could try to make a nandroid backup after installing custom recovery, but I saw some people failing to restore the nandroid backup.

By debranding, I meant removing Voda's bloat and apps. I also guess that's what OP asked for. Of course he can't change his CID without S-OFF.
With the rest, I absolutely agree with you.
And, BTW, my HOX was also Voda branded (CID: VODAP102), but it runs a custom ROM for months already.

You lose the warranty by the fact that you unlock your bootloader, and you can't return it, unless HTC service center can't tell the difference between "LOCKED" and "RELOCKED" bootloader (which they often can't )
To return to your stock you could either do nandroid backup, as said, or find proper RUU and flash it.
Hello,
Will unlocking my bootloader break the guarantee ?
I did a lot of flashing on the m7 , but have completely forgotten adb commands.
Can someone help me?
At first I will need to make a backup so I can go back if I screw things up how ?
And what was the url for htc bootloader unlock ? Htcdev something I guess.
Can someone who has the time help me a little bit.
regards MrCaligula / Norway
1: yes it may break warranty
2: Google for adb/fastboot minimal and check the stickied guides that's so easy to find
3: Google for HTC dev and it will be on top
Bootloader now unlocked
What is next ? Do I need S-off ?
To simply flash a custom rom s-off is not mandatory
If you on the other hand want to flash a custom ROM build for a higher firmware than the one you're running s-off is needed to flash the firmware corresponding to the custom ROM you like.

Thanks for your help I flashed the Ehndroix rom now . Seems good so far
Still on S-off I came from Stock 4.4.3
Hello everyone , I have a htc m9 in semi brick , just installed TWRP , holds the current version of mexico telcel , to make it work , ( this in s -on )
My backup is hurt
update ?
is someone that could help on this?
It seems that you are in the same spot I was yesterday. I solved it by installing android revolution lollipop with twrp, then running sunshine un the same ROM, getting S-Off, then you can flash any RUU through fastboot.
I just have my m9 and is in nougat from telcel, is locked, my question is...
How can i get a developer rom or a custom rom in my m9??
Thanks in advance.

For developer rom you need S-OFF.
If you want custom roms you only need to unlock bootloader at htcdev.com, flash twrp and next you know what to do
I'm wanting to go custom but do I really need s_off and supercid or can I just unlock boot loader and be happy lol. I'm using a UK m8
No need S-Off
What you need :
The device now on Marshmallow firmware 6.xx.xxx.x
Unlocked Bootloader
Latest TWRP
Custom ROM

I think you are confusing custom ROMs with stock (HTC) ROMs (RUU).
Custom ROMs (as mentioned): s-on if fine, just need unlocked bootloader, and custom recovery TWRP
Stock/official ROM (RUU): If you are changing carrier/region versions, you need s-off and change the CID (or SuperCID). But this is not recommended nor necessary for most folks (only suggested for experienced users, with the proper circumstances).
