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
No Guru answered till yet !!!
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:

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 Folks!
I am following XDA for quite some time now but never wrote a single post
So, here is my story:
I bought a used branded HTC Trophy (Vodafone). After reading XDA i decided it is time to flash a custom rom on it. After searching the forums i found out that i needed to flash HSPL to being able to flash custom roms. So after reading this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647) i decided i go along. Then trouble striked: I didn't check the SPL version (which was 5.1) so my boot loader got bricked (no Serial or USB, just one (first) line in the tri-color screen). What now ? I decided to make use of the GoldCard method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10176994#post10176994 . I flashed this rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858600 ).
After flashing i found out that:
- My Bootloader got fully fixed!
- My phone got debranded!
- My SPL got downgraded to a useful version (1.10)
At the end i flashed HSPL ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647 ) and Mango (Any image because the phone now has HSPL).
Hope this post saves someone a lot of anger
Thanks

Work only if your phone has Micro SD Card i think?
No, you have to make the Y cable described in the GoldCard method:

Do I have to remove the SD Card from my trophy? I do not understand all steps. Can you help please?
Thank you
@wima
No need to remove your card but you will need an external 1gb microsd (or 2gb microsd from Kingston) plugged in a flash drive (goldcard process).

Hello everyone, I've been using this forum for a few months to download roms for my desire s but this is my first post on here.
Ok here goes. I've successfully rooted and flashed many different roms on my desire s for over a year now but recently brought my girlfriend a wildfire s and have been trying too root it for over a week now. I've tried all the different tools such oas one click and htc manager but I'm really stuck.
The phone came with the bootloader already unlocked and with s on, so I've started trying to flash a few different recoveries with different tools and it reboots and just gives me the white screen with the green htc logo for ages and nothing else, I've also tried putting the recovery file onto my sd card and letting it install from the h boot but it either says cid incorrect update fail or something about model unknown update fail.
I've been trawling this forum for the last week and tried so many different things but any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is the phone gsm or CDMA? Gsm=sim card, CDMA =no sim card. Depending on what it is, there are some good step by step instructions here in the forum. Some roms come rooted already.
hello and thanks for the replies , my phone is gsm it has a sim card . ive read about the pre rooted roms and thats kind of my last resort at the moment cause i dont wanna lose everything on the phone .
i dont know how to flash cmd is it difficult ?
also can i flash a pre rooted rom with just my bootloader unlocked ??
thanks for the advice
Good evening all,
I am very new to all of this so please be bear with me. I have searched through the forum extensively but haven't been able to find a solution to my problem.
I have an HTC One X (Endeavoru / Tegra 3) which is currently network locked to T-Mobile UK.
I have followed various guides on XDA carefully and successfully unlocked the bootloader using HTCDev code & adb/fastboot, rooted my phone and installed Cyanogenmod 12.0. It is all working perfectly and I'm very happy with the results.
My problem is I want to put in an O2 Sim Card and my phone is locked to T-Mobile UK. I purchased an unlock code for £9.99 (officialunlockcodes.com) and popped in my O2 Sim but after inputting the code into my phone, it said that the unlock was NOT successful and I still get the same message (Network / Perso Lock).
So my first question is, is the fact that my phone is running a custom ROM & unlocked/rooted preventing the unlock code from working?
My second question is a about reverting back to original HTC settings/software in order to unlock the network.
I read on a forum that someone else had issues using an unlock code on a custom ROM with unlocked bootloader. He reverted back to stock ROM and locked the bootloader and it worked for him. He then reinstalled the custom ROM and it was all fine. I have tried (and failed) to do the same but I cannot find any stock ROM or a Nandroid backup that is compatible with my phone.
The version is 3.16.110.6 and the CID is tmob005. Htboot version is 1.39.
I used TWRP Recovery & this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-...avoru-t3022358 for updating to the new storage layout for HTC One X Endeavoru and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-...-12-0-t2976389 for my installation of Cyanogenmod 12.0. (both great resources!)
When I unlocked the bootloader & rooted my phone, I used ClockworkMod as the recovery tool and I did take a back up. However, I foolishly wiped my SD card & storage before I updated to the new storage layout (and changed to TWRP recovery tool) when I was installing Cyanogenmod 12.0 a few days later so as far as I'm aware, I can't simply restore my original ROM.
Does anyone have any ideas? Ideally, all I want to do is unlock the carrier/network and continue using my phone as it is with Cyanogenmod 12.0 but if I need to revert back to stock ROM to unlock the network, I'm prepared to do that. I just don't know how as I've searched through the collections and archives here and can't find a stock ROM or Nandroid backup that's compatible. I may be getting myself very confused on this as I don't really understand CID so I hope I've not missed anything obvious.
I've also tried achieving S-OFF with firewater & rumrunner but it fails and from what I can tell through various threads and research, S-OFF isn't possible yet for my model of HTC One X.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much Amber

Hi.
I have HTC One X (Endeavoru / htc_europe).
It is S-OFF and supercid 11111111.
Is it possible to remove the operator's SIM lock?
If yes - please advise or give links and I will read them.
I was not able to find a working way to do it.
Hope someone could help.
Hi new to the forum and rooting , bootloading ect ect.i installed numerous things to try root my M8 , but couldnt get it to root , had a custom recovery , which was the clockworkmod. Eventually i installed sunshine and used that , didnt pay but i did a root check and came back good , started modding games ect .
This is where i went wrong , tried to install Harmon Mod, me not reading correctly until afterwords, i installed S 0FF when my M8 isnt, it had S ON
So my device wouldnt get passed the white screen with HTC one, but can get into the recovery and fastboot bootloader USB ect. So i reset everything , didnt work , so i flashed the ROM thinking it would be easy to install a new one through FLASHED USB with a ZIP file , nope.
so i followed a thing online telling me a few prcedes whicgh involved downloading a few things , in the end flashing boot.img and fl;ashing recover.img and locking bootload, which i managed to lock bootloader, but everytime i went to install this RUU thing the htc wouldn have been tryna turn on after the lock bootload so would crash.
Lonfg story ino , so now i have a complety different recovery , a kind of black and red one , where the wrtiting is small and at the top , a flashed ROPM and no idea what to do stuck on the HTC white screen.
if you have read this far im extremly greatfull.

Hard to take this post seriously. Please provide as much detail, including the exact steps you've taken so far, exact file names (I understand you can't post links yet), etc.
Honestly, its hard to help when you've basically said "I did some stuff I saw online, now please help me".
Also do a adb getvar all, and post the output (but first delete your IMEI and serial number, since they are personal info).
Its sounds like you've done a lot of tinkering, without really understanding the basic concepts and what you are doing. Slow down, and spend a couple hours reading to really understand everything, before doing anything else. There are a variety of good threads sticky to the top of the forum sections, with good beginner info, links, etc.
