[Q] UK OTA after changing CID to HTC__Y13 to receive early update.

I'm in the UK & have a sim free HTC One.
So I changed my CID to HTC__Y13 to enable me to get the 4.2.2 OTA early then changed it back to HTC__001 & sadly used Revone to S-ON again. I have no English (United Kingdom) setting in the system language, probably because the update wasn't meant for a uk phone, so my thought was to go back to the 1.28.401.7 RUU then update properly now the UK OTA is out. Obviously I can't do this because I have a 1.54 hboot & can't S-OFF again to flash the RUU.
What method can I use to be able to downgrade the hboot to 1.44, S-OFF & flash the 1.28 RUU? Can I unlock bootloader via HTCDev, flash a custom rom with a 1.44 hboot then go back to stock, lock bootloader, S-OFF then flash to RUU? I don't want to try this & wipe my phone if it won't work.
Anyone else figured a way to do it?
Cheers
Tim

From my understanding, there is no way of altering H-boot without S-off. I'm sure someone will cracking 1.55 in the future.

This is correct.

The update WAS for your phone, if a phone is x.xx.401.x in the UK and x.xx.401.x in the Netherlands they get the same OTA

Can you still change your CID? I read someone who lost S-Off but was still able to change to superCID (11111111)

If you aren't afraid to experiment.
That is simple for information, when my phone had leaked 2.17.401.1 ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
and
firmware from 2.17.401.1 RUU
from here (second post)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182823
My phone had HBOOT 1.54 and I without problems received S-OFF using alternate revone binary v0.2.1-wlj.
So , you can try this way
1) Unlock booloader
2) Flash latest custom recovery (I had TWRP)
3) Make nandroid backup your system
4) Flash 2.17.401.1 ROM
5) Try to get S-OFF using revone v0.2.1-wlj
I DO NOT guarantee success! If you do it, it is your risk!

[Q] Debrand after s-off on hboot 1.54

Hi all,
I have a Vodafone branded HTC One from Germany, all stock, and i have just gained s-off and change cid to super cid. My questions is; which stock RUU should i use for debranding (im from Denmark)? Is it okay to install the older firmware 1.28.401.7 when i now have 2.24.161.1, and are there some consequences of doing that? Im thinking about to get acces to the bootloader and change my cid back afterwards.
And final question, should i lock the bootloader before flashing?
Thanks.
Regards.

[Q]How i can archive vodafone unbranding?

Greetings to all,
I have htc one m7_ul, hboot 1.54 s-on, mid PN07100, cid VODAP102
As you understand all the phone unfortunately is vodafone branding with the annoying vodafone boot logo and other silly vodafone aps.So... i want to ask the community if and how i can unbrand the phone from vodafone an be complete htc stock with latest official htc firmware.
Thanks in advance

Brief description: Well if you completely want to modify your phone, you'll need to use rumrunner to get S-Off (that includes unlocking the phone, and other prerequisites for rumrunner)
Once you're S-Off you can change your CID to something more universal such as HTC__001 and use a full RUU (exe) to downgrade to complete WWE stock, and start receiving OTAs to the latest available (depending on which CID and RUU you end up using).

Thanks for your respond

Once you have s-off, you can remove TAMPERED using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
and you can even LOCK (as opposed to RELOCKED) using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
and once you run the official RUU (exe) even the red text "this is a development device bla bla bla" should go away.

You only have to be s-off and unlocked if the ruu doesn't match the your phone info, you can't install ota manually if your s-on, so which ruu are you trying to use ? And what does your version main / os version number say at the moment.

Yup, I figured you were trying to use that ruu, look at the 3rd set of numbers, yours is 599 and that ruu is 1540, it won't work, you would need s-off, change cid, change mid, flash firmware and then run the ruu, you will have to do that or wait to get the update for your device.
S-off for your phone will cost $25 through sunshine s-off tool and is the only way to s-off your 6xxxxxxxx firmware which you are currently on.

Change back the CID and MID numbers to match the RUU you want to flash, update your hboot from 1.54 to 1.57 or 1.61 so your phone will accept a 7.xx.xxx.xx RUU, then flash your 7.xx.xxx.xx 5.0.2/Sense RUU.
