Hello,
i've bought a D820u a few month ago. But each time i buy a phone in China, they made a rom modification... I've tried to flash a 100% original rom by HTC, but, I can't. TWRP always failed.
Now, The D820 is out in Europe (I'm Frecnh, sorry for my bad english), and I'd like to make a Full reset and a complete install with the European Rom.
Is it possible ? How can I do it ?
My phone is rooted and boot unblocked.
Thank you.
no answer ?
unlock bootloader ,root, recovery
You must completely remove bootloader and then upload the RUU what you want
LOOKS EUROPE 820S not like China and WWE

Hello ,I have updated my desire z and rooted but now I have to send it for repair to the service I have flashed 1,34 wwe rom and did all the steps for S-On and now I have a security on device but 2,42 wwe rom does not matches to my country CID code so I want to ask if is it possible to flash 2.42 stock rom on a Security OFF and Rooted phone directly or will this brick my phone ? I don't want SU or ect anymore ,just a stock rom all I need
so in other words, help you trick your carrier into thinking that you never rooted your phone?
yes please
Why do you need to upgrade, if your concern is warranty?
Its important to have the original CID & Simlock and firmware for warranty - i myself didn´t find the original vodafone firmware, so i flashed 1.34 wwe restored simlock, cid, s-on and original recovery and they didn´t even recognize that the phone was rooted (or they just didn´t care) ...

ohh reallly , I can flash 1.34 again and put S-On and original CID back and hope they do not recognize anything By the way I live in Turkey and do you too ? I wonder about the procedures for service repair , you said "vodafone firmware" my phone is vodafone too but Turkish Carrier ...
yes it worked for me... but maybe it was luck.
no im not from turkey - austria and i just looked into the german forums if there is a vodafone ruu now - but sorry there isn´t.
the procedure was like this: i took my phone to the carrier, told them what was broken (it was a hw problem) they had a quick look at it and then told me that i have to wait for 2 weeks... i got my phone back with a new vodafone firmware ...had to re-root again
Hi Guys!
I have one short question. Today I received my new One X, on power on the phone I saw that this pohone has a vodafone branding. That's not nice and not really acceptable for me.
Now my question:
Is it possible simply flash it with the original hTc Europe RUU (RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_ 1.1204.71.08_release_249238_signed.exe) to get an unbranded phone? Or is it not possible to flash it without unlocking the bootloader? I won't flash any custom ROM.

Dr. MaRV
Without S-OFF it can't be done at present - you'd have to go custom to remove the branding
Whatever you do, make sure you download the RUU for your phone now (Vodafone DE) so you can always go back if needed
Thank mate for that fast answer.

And, did the flah work, or...
Having the same issue with a Vodaphone branded OneX
Hi all,
I live in Australia and I bough the One X from UK, online, the model ID wasJ46100 and Model name:S720e, but I returned it with a full refund because it has the flickering screen issue.
I bought another one from a local store in Melbourne, Australia (outright) it was very obvious that the new one has no flickering issue, but the model ID isJ46110 and model name:S720b!
From the firmware thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551581) I notice that they are talking about the MIDJ4610000 while my MID isJ4611000 and because I unlocked the bootloader before saving the CID now I'm getting "none" as CID, so I *think* that I won't be able to upgrade my firmware until the S-OFF
None of the RUU here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604) works for me!
My questions:
Q1- Is there any way I can upgrade to 1.28 (or higher) without waiting for the S-OFF?
Q2- Is there any reason makes me return my PJ46110 and buy PJ46100? as I have 30-day return period.
Q3- How can I find the RUU that works for my device (any version)? Note: RUU extraction method didn't work
Q4- Is it OK to flash a custom ROM based on higher firmware than my device? For example: flashing ARHD 3.0.0 (which is 1.28-based on my 1.26 device) (This example works fine, but what about any future releases)
Note: I got the model ID from the back of the device, and model name from the box's cover, and MID from "fastboot getvar mid".
Out Of The Topic NOTE: I notice that there was FCC logo on the PJ46100 (UK model) but not in the PJ46110 (AU model)!!

A1 - You can't get OTA update without S-OFF even if you flash RUU because devices needs to have stock recovery and locked/re-locked bootloader. Also RUU is region dependent. So ANY RUU won't work until we have S-OFF.
A2 - IMO not a good idea to return the Aussie model and get the UK model unless you really have to and must get the OTA update.
A3 - I haven't seen any Optus or Vodafone RUU for Australia yet so you you will not get the 1.28 base via OTA until Optus or Vodafone releases them.
A4 - it is okay to flash custom ROM but you won't get any official updates until you bring your phone back to stock (stock recovery + re-locked bootloader and use RUU for your phone which is not out there yet if you have a Optus handset or Vodafone handset)
Having S-OFF we can make our device super CID which should work on any RUU once you have stock recovery and re-locked bootloader.

So as soon as we have the S-OFF my PJ46110 can be used exactly as PJ46100?
I asked because I have had very bad experience with Samsung Galaxy S II I9100G which does't accept the I9100 (without the G) ROMs, and I'm afraid that I'll face the same thing here

If it is OK to flash the custom ROMs without upgrading the firmware why the ROM developers always insist to upgrade the firmware before flashing?

Like I said with S-OFF we can get super CID which basically we can debrand our phones or convert our phones to use the RUU we want.
Devs say that so the phone won't have glitches like battery drain or lags. Basically if you use latest firmware means better performance.

I9100/i9100g is a different situation, they have different hardware inside and are effectively different phones.
I have the aus model too and am having no issues at all with custom rom (leedroid right now). The only major difference is that you wont get ota updates until optus / voda approve them. When we get super cid and soff you will be able to flash wwe ruu as soon as they are available.

Hi,
I just joined the world of Android this week and bought my HOX, I bought it from eBay and it turns out it was imported from Vietnam so it's got Vietnamese firmware on, so i seem to get the Asian OTA releases. I figured If i root it I'd be able to flash it with English firmware/software but being new to it all im not so sure and don't want to lose my warranty.
Can anyone offer me some advice?
Thanks in advance
Edit - Looking a bit further into it, i think what im attempting to do is change from an Asian RUU to a European RUU.
You can't flash an RUU from a different region without super cid, which you can't get without s-off, which we don't have.
Hi there,
This is my first thread here, so sorry if anything in this post is not correctly.
I got the following problem: I installed CM12.1 on my HTC One M8S (M8_QL_UL) but now i want to go back to stock. I bought the phone at Amazon (Germany) and it was sold as unbranded.
However when I tried to flash the stock firmware (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/make-custom-recovery-htc-one-m8s-t3114245) over Hboot it told me "wrong CID" and Large Image Fail.
Then I got myself the phone's CID and it came out that it was not the HTC Europe Version (I tried to install the Europe build with Android MM as I had that one before) but the T-Mobile-DE version.
So the problem is, that there is a firmware for the T-Mobile-DE one, but it is still Sense 6 with Lollipop and so I am not able to install that, since I already have had MM with sense 7 on that phone before.
Now I cannot find a MM build for the T-Mobile CID online.
Beside of that I created a Backup with TWRP before flashing CM12.1 but now TWRP does not recocnize that backup.
If possible I would prefer to install the Stock Rom "clean" because my backed up one was very buggy anyway.
So my question is, how can I get back to Stock? Is there any proper build to download? If not, is it possible to get S-Off for that phone, to change CID? Sunshine does not appear to be working for the M8S...
And if nothing like this works, how can I access my backup with TWRP?
Thank you so much, hopefully anyone could help me!
Cheers, Fietipaldi
Im in the same situation but for Vodafone. We need some updated RUUs on the site
