Hi Gurus,
Since the last two weeks , I have tried almost all the options to debrand the Htc Desire Orange UK version, but not success, Below was my cell stock information when I purchased it.
Htc Desire Black Edition (PVT1) not brown one
Froyo 2.2
Hboot = 0.93.0001
Radio = 5.10
CID=ORANG001
I wanted to debrand it to generic from the Orange then I rooted it with UnRevoked and S-Off through AlphaRev and executed the file "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe" from shipped Roms.
After that I got the Radio V2 Fail, When I restarted the cell, there was no display, even the charging light was off.
I contacted a person that has RiffBox, he flashed it and changed the CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001.
My cell new configuration is as below :
Hboot=0.930001
Radio=4.06
CID=HTC__001
Right now I have only fastboot and hboot access with no ROM in cell phone .
After that I tried almost all the Roms from the shipped-roms's bravo secton, they gives 2 types of error upon executing :
1. partition update failed (error on Radio v2 pu fail)
2. signature verification failed.
I want to debrand my cell to generic one , so that I can get rid of Orange stuff.
I am stuck at that point, needed the expert guidance to pass through this situation.
Thanks

Given that you are s-off and rooted why would you not just install one of the stock rooted ROMs from the second post in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
I personally would not have changed the CID, can you install your stock RUU anymore?
Thanks 'welshbloke70' for reply.
Well, After having flashed with RiffBox my cell is no longer rooted or s-off.
Currently I have just fastboot and only hboot menu access. RECOVERY is not operational now.
When I turned on the cell, it directly comes to fastboot menu due to no
ROM in cell after flashing. So in this case I can only install from RUU or PB99IMG.zip, the xda link you gave have all the the ROMS but for rooted cell phones.
As now I have changed CID (HTC__001) which is the generic one, so I dont get any CID error upon installing generic RUU.
Any other suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I guess the forum is out of gurus so you're stuck with us lot. Try this thread to solve your problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796975
Hi Paul,
I think the Gurus/expert are there are too much busy thats why they can not respond.
Well I saw your given link. It requires clockworkmod or Armon recovery, currently I am not rooted, so can not use the roms there.
Thanks,

Do you have a Gold Card??? Cause your problem sounds pretty bad. Since you aren't rooted and you don't have a recovery, it is pretty obvious that you can't install a custom ROM.
I guess you tried also the latest version of RUU which is 2.29.405.5 if you are from EUROPE.
From what I've read you can flash an branded RUU or another RUU on a branded phone only if you have a Gold Card. Now I don't know if this applies to you since you are no longer branded, but you can give it a shot if you haven't tried yet.
I think there is a tutorial on how to make a Gold Card even if you can't access the phone or see the screen. I'll look for it and post it here.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks 'UsManyDead' for taking interest in my case. The answers are as below :
1. Yes, I have gold card, for now its useless. Because as I know we need the gold card only if we are going to install a rom that is different from the current cell CID.
In my case I have already changed my CID from ORANG001 to HTC__001 and any generic RUU supports HTC__001 so there is no need of gold card in my case.
2. Any custom rom can not be installed due to fact that cell is no more rooted.
Only PB***.zip or Ruu can solve the problem. I have tried almost all the roms and ruu from shipped-roms. but they give 2 types of errors as I mentioned in my first post. I have also tried 2.29.405.5 many times but no success.
I know the options are becoming very few , but I hope that I will pass through this failure from you and xda community users.
Any other advice will be welcomed.
Thanks
Hello once again. I just read a little more about your problem, which is very rare but found some good threads you should read and try.
REMEMBER TO READ THEM IN FULL ( FROM FIRST PAGE TILL THE LAST ONE ) and maybe post your problem there, might be easier to get help.
First thread: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268 ( even if it is for bricked SLCD, something in there might actually help, for example how to get the PB99IMG.zip from a RUU file)
Second thread (a continuation of the first): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831734
Third thread (where I actually found your exact problem): ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000385 . Someone explains some kind of "voodoo" to be done to repair the error you get, and there are positive results, and I think you can use the first 2 thread to get the PB99IMG.zip.
Give it a try and remember to read them in full to understand. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Can you still get in to fastboot?

Hi mate don't know if this can help you....i got usb bricked with my rooted and s-off desire. I flashed a an RUU thinking it would solve my issue but of course it just left me with a USB Brick unrooted! You can't write to that and no access with Adb. I got great help from Unrevoked page which fixed me by getting me back to root.
I summarised the process here:

Hope you might have success with your issue. If this does not help directly you might follow the link to the help page on UnRevoked.....

Thank all of you for taking interest in my problem.
At the end I have got success BUT with failure. Here is my story.
1. Erased and Flashed with RiffBox with CID=11111111 (super id)
2. Kept cell phone in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
3. Installed the new ROM from PB99IMG.zip (PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip ) without any error.
4. Kept cell phone again in refrigerator for only 5 minutes.
5. Started the cell phone for the first time and executed setup and went till the Home screen fine.
6. Tried some games and flash intensive web sites, and ohhh the phone rebooted.
It rebooted again and again. Untill I pulled out the battery and put it again after 30 minutes, but was unable to reach home screen.
Again kept the cell phone in refrigerator and phone works for a short time before it starts reboot loop.
So the main problem is rebooting now.
I spent nearly 16 hours on net , reading forums/posts for solution but at the end found that there is no solution except the motherboard replacement.
I am in PK and here is no HTC service center. I bought it second hand so dont have any warranty card/info with me.
So its just like a piece of scrape for me.
Anyways again thank you all for the great help. May be this refrigerator solution could work for anyone.
Thanks,
Ali
Have you tried changing cid back to orange and flashing correct ruu?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
No, I didn't try to change the CID to orange. And there is no orange related PB** or RUU on shipped roms.
I dont think Orange have done some customization in kernel or any other part.
I have seen threads running the generic version on orange brand phone. So it shouldn't be a issue, however bootloop problem is not related to either generic or orange brand rom , its related to motherboard.
Have you seen any post in which generic rom is initiating bootloop while the orange rom solved it ?
Thanks,
Ali
No Ali, I haven't. Seeing that you are in the dead end, I think that its worth trying everything from scratch. Don't know much about cid change, but could it be that cid is in a few places and now that you've changed it it sort of fights itself ? Will have a look into all this a bit later, I'm far from guru, but with a bit of luck should be able to find some info.

Hi tinky1,
Well, I have complete nandroid backup (boot, data, recovery and system images). I did it when I was rooted by unrevoked (clockworkmod).
Currently I have installed stock rom '2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_ release_159811', so how can I restore my earlier backup (i will again change the CID to orange, no issue) ?
Please remember i can not root now due to boot loop problem.
Any suggestion ?
Ali
So what do you actually have working? Bootloader, fastboot, recovery? Does phone bootloop when (if you can) you go into one of these?
Currently I have working fastboot and hboot. Recovery is not working , it stuck on HTC green logo.
Normal phone startup is also not functional, it reboots itself before it reaches 'Quietly Brilliant' logo.
I have managed to install Cyanogenmod 7 but the bootloop problem still exist. Analyzing the problem.

Hello, and thanks in advance
I rooted my phone a little while ago so I am really new to this....So I have a Virgin Mobile HTC One V, and 3 days ago I tried to Deodex my phone to be able to get google now (i know, stupid reason) anyway I think something went wrong, and now it is in a boot loop. This has happened to many other people on xda so i tried looking for some. I tried to get the stock ruu back on with the exe file, and that didnt work it said "update failed hboot is older" after that i tried unlocking my phone again and just restoring the back up, and that also failed.
Next I tried to flash a new image by putting the root from the temp that i got from the ruu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674226&page=4) and it said "update failed hboot is older press power to reboot".
I have tried everything i could thing of, and still it keeps rebooting. I didnt want to bother you guys, but at this point I have almost given up because i have spent more than 12 hours trying to fix this issue.
I currently have twrp flashed and I am willing to try almost anything
How can I fix this issue?
Please help me if you can.
Hboot: 1.57.0000
Radio: 1.00.00.0928
eMMC-boot (no idea what this means)
I had this exact issue....turned out I had the wrong ruu. Once I got the right one and downgraded my radio, I've had no problems.

Once you go through the relock, ruu, unlock, and root again everything should be good.

Okay so i tried it and it didnt work... It gets to sending, then MTi/MCI or something like that(it was really fast) then it throws an error 155 and says "cannot update please get the current rom update utility and try again... "
and it still says "hboot version is older update fail!" when I unplug it
I got the most recent RUU I could find which was
[ RUU_PRIMO_C_ICS_40A_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.08.652.6_Radio_1.00.00.0521_2_NV_VM_3.46_0503_PRL61008_release_262414_signed.exe ] from android files site
That is the version that I used. Have you done the recent ota update.....if not, DON'T. check out this thread....is the guide I used.

I followed that guide already... it was pretty much the first thing I did... i think that I need to downgrade something maybe the hboot or something, but im not sure how. I tried it again just in case. Still getting the same error... [155] and it tells me to get a current version. Btw the Deodex file i tried to flash was the jmz file for htc one v primoc
Hi guys, I recently purchased my one x online, after checking a few details on my device i found my device is S-on with cid 11111111. It hadn't been bootloader unlocked before because when i checked and it displayed (locked) and not (relocked). Can i s-off my device? And if not can i flash any Ruu? Thanks
Ruu ! Depends on the main number
Fastboot getvar version-main
Post the outcome please
I believe im in the same boat s-on and cid 11111111 but bootloader unlocked
my main version is listed as 3.18.502.6
nevermind
figured it out device is up and running again:laugh:

Sharing the solution for the rest of the forum is usually a pleasant thing to do.
ah of course!
well essentially i was stuck in a bootloop and couldnt get any roms to work or anything whatsoever. searching through the forums the only real solution i could find was to just start over and find a ruu. for a few hours i searched for ruu's and or a backup i could try and use to no avail. i also wasnt sure what my stock cid was so. but anyway i took my main version and ended up just google searching 3.18.502.6 + ruu and it brought me back to a thread on xda that listed the download link and the cid which resembled what i could remember of the cid looking like originially. long story short relocked the bootloader and installed the ruu no problems. LESSON learned is to use proper back ups, have a little patience, google is still baws!, and when your in a disaster state just follow the recovery threads and quit trying to fix it on your own haha!
(at the point of me posting on this thread i just wanted help finding a ruu and if one even existed for my phone (mine was a new warranty claim from march with JB update preinstalled))
HTC ONE X [IMEI Blank] [CID 11111111]
Hello ,
I bought HTC ONE X month ago,
from the last night it isn't showing the imei.. [ *#06#],
when i boot into fastboot [ Volume down + Power] it shows "LOCKED Status" " S OFF" and "CID 11111111"......
Now after searching a lot i found that installing stock RUU will solve it..
and yes it is right.. I downloaded Stock RUU and installed it on my HOX, After a fresh restart it comes up WITH IMEI ..
it was working good but very next day it gets the same.. NO IMEI..
ANY SOLUTIONS?
Thanks in Advance..
I got my HTC ONE, brand ****ing new yesterday, within 24 hours i ****ed up the root and now it's a soft brick. I really, really like this phone and all hope seems lost. I've exhausted all my troubleshooting options.
I need to reinstall the OS so I can reattempt the root, unfortunately, I thought it would be easier then this. I'm with vodafone australia.
HBOOT - 1.55.0000
RADIO - 4A.21.3263.04
OpenDSP - v32.120.274.0909
OS - 3.63.980.2
I have access to the bootloader.
I tried using RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Voda-Hutch_AU_1.29.862.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260561_signed.exe and it spat out a signature error. I could try using a Nandriod backup but I need to find somebody on the same network with the same phone as me to do this and sourcing the RUU was hard enough not to mention I had to wait for an hour for it to download only for it not to work anyways.

You are in the Verizon HTC One forums.
The regular HTC One forums is where you wanna be if you do have an HTC One.
If that is the case, then the RUU you downloaded is wrong as well, it's for the HTC One X.
The fact that it's ICS and not at least JB, is another big tip.

Hey guys,
I got myself an HTC ONE M8 last saturday and noticed i couldn't write to my SD card with non-google apps.
So i decided to install another ROM. The Android Revolution HD 22.1 to be exact.
However, since i'm a complete noob, i did not check if the firmware matches. Which it doesn't.
When entering fastboot it's says my 'OS' is 1.54.161.10 , but Android Revolution HD 22.1 needs 3.xx.xxx.xx right?
Now i tried flashing another firmware but that didn't work. First i got error 42 because the CID didn't match. (it's VODAPE17)
i added that CID to the android-info.txt inside the firmware.zip and got rid of error 42.
Now i getting error 12. According to Sneakyghost:
For Error 12 “signature fail" do:
- might indicate that a signed firmware package is required. This would only happen with S-ON phones though.
Does this mean i need to get my phone S-OFF with sunshine, or is there another way to fix this problem? ( I already tried firewater, didn't work)
I don't mind going back to the original M8 ROM. I just want to get rid of all this trouble
Thanks!

You should post the solution, for the benefit of others.
I assumed you did s-off? Otherwise, you can't flash another CID's firmware.
