Use the revone method for s-off your phone.
After change your cid in the "super CID" and flash a ruu from htc

I agree, a quick guide would be great as I don't know where to start (Currently have a custom rom RevoHD10.1) --> Change CID, Relock, install a stock rom...

S-Off Definitive answer needed.

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

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
bobsie41 said:

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.

[Q] S-off guide?

Ok so Im somewhat of a noob so I was wondering if any experts can help me out?
I wanted to get S-off on my HTC one so I can change my MID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322820)
I have a few problems with S-off?
Firstly, do I have to have my phone rooted to get s-off?
If yes, then I have to unlock the boot loader first and then root it right? If so can you give me a simple guide that shows how to unlock the bootloader followed by rooting?
Secondly, Can you give me a link to a SIMPLE guide to get s-off?

Yeah mine is Hboot 1.44.000 but before do the S-off tutorial, Should I unlock the bootloader and root the phone? or can I just do S-off?
Revone s-off can be run from a fully stock Rom, with no need to unlock the bootloader or rooting before. (Following the guide linked in previous post)

Using adb commands while booted in the stock Rom.
No you can be fully stock while using the revone guide if you don't want to unlock via the HTCdev method.
You only need to be rooted if you want to s-off without the use of a pc (using terminal emulator on your device).

I don't think you should be messing with S-Off when you don't really know what you're doing and haven't even got adb installed
Also, changing your MID can be risky and is a lot trickier than simple S-Off, which you should know how to do. I know someone who bricked their phone changing the MID.

I guess you are right. My knowledge is limited and I don't wont to brick my phone.
But on the other hand, I really need the 4.2.2 update. I have some problems with the current one.
Anyways, When I use fastboot, I get CID HTC__001.
Thats USA so I'm guessing it'll be a while for the update to come out huh? But my phone is not locked to any carrier.
How long do you think itll take before update OTA is available?
Thanks alot man

Thank you so much.
I started doing what you said before you put this post.
I did the same thing but in step 3 I just changed the CID to HTC__Y13 instead of fastboot oem writecid 11111111.
When I rebooted I got the update for 4.2.2 and downloaded it too. But when installing it reboots into recovery and says aborted.
Do I have to to steps 4 5 6 7 8 or is there way to just install the downloaded OTA?

[Q] HTC One debranding

Hi all, just wondering if someone with some knowledge can help assist me debranding my HTC One. I came from Samsung devices, and knew the ins and outs of rooting, flashing roms etc, but HTC devices seems so over complicated after reading through various forums.
All I want to do is debrand my Vodafone HTC One, and install the international uk firmware, and be able to receive ota updates in future.
I have been reading about changing Ruu, changing CID, and im just baffled by everything, although slowly starting to gain some knowledge.
Please I would appreciate if someone could give me the correct procedure to do this, do I need to unlock the bootloader before doing it? Already registered on HTCDEV website, just havnt unlocked bootloader yet.
I have spent hours reading info, and my head is practically going round in circles lol.
What do you mean by debranding? Do you mean putting a custom Rom on it?
Edit: I missed a section of what you said. I believe you have to unlock the bootloader, turn security off, and get Super CID.

All the following is dependant on having an hboot of less than 1.54. If you are already on hboot 1.54, you will not yet be able to s-off and follow this process until an exploit is found for the 1.54 hboot. To check this, turn off your device and restart it whilst holding the volume down button. The information will be displayed.

Thanks for that info mate. I just checked and im on hboot 1.54, which means I wont be able to do this at the moment. Was that RUU you state an exe file? I guess I don't have to root or install any custom recovery to do this? First I need to wait on an exploit for sboot 1.54 to get s-off. Also it might be easier for me going down the custom rom route?

Until s-off is achieved for hboot 1.54, your only choice is custom roms. This should be fine as you are already updated to the latest firmware through Vodafone.

Ok, now here goes lol. My understanding so far is that in order to install any stock ruu I must first get s-off. As im running stock Vodafone firmware, the CID must match this firmware. If I get s-off, I will be able to install any CID and stock rom, as long as they match one another. and as im on hboot 1.54 just now, supercid wont work yet, so s-off is a no no at the moment. I can still root and install a custom firmware though.
