In order to use that procedure, you need to unlock the bootloader first since you have HBOOT 2.02.0002
but htcdev dont let me unlock my bootloader, because my hboot is 2.02. , so what can i do?

The device you pick from that drop-down does not have to match your device exactly. All that does is shows you the appropriate instructions you need to follow. The process will have you generate a device token based on your actual phone that you send to HTC to get an unlocked token, so just pick one of the IncS in the drop-down to get started on your journey.
My device is natively 1.28.61.7 cid ORANG001 (UK EE/Orange/T-Mobile) although my bootloader is unlocked and I have been running custom software since I got it.
I have successfully s-offed my device with revone, removed the tampered warning and set super cid just with the fastboot method.
My question is...Can I permanently 'debrand' my device and continually receive and install stock updates by
1 Changing my cid to HTC__001 by the fastboot method.
2 Running a 1.2x.401.x RUU
3 Receive and install ota updates.
Will this scenario work as I have seen many conflicting answers on this forum and, if yes, do I need my bootloader locked or unlocked??
Also, if this scenario proves to be successful, where would it leave me if a subsequent ota update closes the s-off loophole??
Any informed assistance would me much appreciated.
To completely debrand:
S-OFF
Supercid
Flash a unbranded RUU
change your cid to HTC_001( or one you want)
You will receive OTA and all you need

you DO NOT need to lock bootloader
it can stay unlocked
and you NEED supercid to flash the RUU
after flashed RUU, change you cid to HTC_001

It's HTC__001, not HTC_001 - the double underscore is essential

is changing the CID purely for official OTA's?
I really dont get it if youre running a ROM. heh

If you're on a custom ROM then you don't need to change your CID. It's only if running stock is it important

With Supercid you can't receive Official OTAs, so you have to set your cid to the One that receives updates First! for example, if your hear updates start rolling out in France for the french CID HTC_203, you just have to change your cid to HTC_203 and update via OTA, even if bootloader is unlocked, the most important for official updates is the CID!
If you're going to put supercid, that allow you to rom/firmware/ruu independantely from the CID, but not automatic official updates, just manual ones via recovery or fastboot (ruu).
Hope it clears out things

So quick question, I also have a Orange handset running 1.28.61.7... did you manage to S-off your device? ?
Just all i can see is there is no S-off for this software variant... please help.
Although when the device has a different model ID then the OTA will not install.
For example if your device has MID PN0714000 and you are trying to install OTA update 1.29.401.X then it will fail.

The software variant your running does not matter.
What matters is the CID and the MID.
I've posted the sections you need to read in the thread you opened.

relock
but if you want it to show locked get s-off again, I suggest revone, and use the revone -l command to make it show locked ( that's a lowercase L)
after that if you want to S-off again do that and flash the RUU
I assume you're doing a warranty return.

went to unlock my boot loader at htcdev and i keep getting "Error 160 MID not allowed".
Is there a workaround? Something about changing your CID, whats the easiest method?
will SuperCID work? says need to be s-off, but dont u need the boot loader unlocked?
how to get s-off without unlocking bootloader?

Verizon setup the phone so that HTCDev method would not work. You can use firewater S-OFF and it will unlock your bootloader and grant you S-OFF at the same time.
