yes it is possible, can you start by posting a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n)

same as you would on windows (or even linux), by opening a terminal, and typing:
fastboot getvar all

then copy/paste the output here (except IMEI and s/n).

you'll need to be quite comfortable with adb & fastboot commands to do this, so I recommend you to some research on what adb & fastboot are, how to install them on mac, and test them.
depending on your hboot version you may also need an Ubuntu Live USB

first get familiar with terms, such as bootloader, adb & fastboot, etc.
and once you're comfortable using them, we can proceed

well, here are the steps:
1- unlock using HTCdev

2- get s-off using rumrunner (hopefully, cause you're on a 3.63 firmware, which may or may not work)
----> since you're on mac, you're going to need an Ubuntu Live USB, you can check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2606577
---------> you may need to root your rom, and flash an unsecured kernel

3- if S-Off is achieved, you can continue either with mac or linux, you'll need to change CID to a .401. (WWE unbranded), depending on the language set you want, it can be any of the following:

Code:

HTC__001  -->  HTC-WWE
HTC__016  -->  VODA-Africa-South
HTC__032  -->  HTC-EastEurope
HTC__102  -->  HTC-GER
HTC__203  -->  HTC-FRA
HTC__304  -->  HTC-SPA
HTC__405  -->  HTC-ITA
HTC__A07  -->  HTC-Russia
HTC__E11  -->  HTC-Dutch
HTC__J15  -->  HTC-GCC
HTC__Y13  -->  HTC-Nor

using:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 <- whatever CID you choose from the above
fastboot reboot-bootloader

4- because hboot is already 1.55, you'll need to downgrade that first (and separately): check post #1 in my guide for link and instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541082

5- use http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-zip/
to flash the full unbranded RUU to your phone, using ruu mode, check post #3 in my guide for fastboot commands (locking etc not needed unless you insist)

6- stay S-OFF!!!

there's always "a chance" of bricking, but highly unlikely, other users & myself have done this quite a few times. S-Off is the key, and staying S-Off is your "get out of jail" card, just dont mess with wrong hboots, or try going S-On.

step 5 will get your phone entirely back to 1.xx, but you'll receive OTA updates back to 3.xx (and later to 4.xx)

yes, better to downgrade hboot first: I'm not sure it matters with the RUU.ZIP method, but with RUU.EXE (on Windows) if you are on hboot 1.55 the EXE will give an error (because of a patch in hboot 1.55)

even if it is not necessary for RUU.ZIP, there's no harm in downgrading hboot to 1.44 first, it'll only take a couple of seconds anyway, and then you can continue.

remember to flash TWICE in "fastboot oem rebootRUU" mode, as mentioned.

first get S-Off, then we can deal with the rest

s-off = you can do whatever you like

if you want to receive OTA updates, you need to change CID to whatever you are flashing.

Recommend you stay S-Off, in case you need to change something in the future.

No warning or anything, the only thing with S-Off, is that "HTC Error Reporting" will be turned on, and you cannot turn it off, but who cares

Ok Thanks for this information, but it is theoretically possible back to S-On and after phone look like from factory? I ask i case if after this I decided sale phone.
Thanks

yes you can, BUT you have to do it at the right time; if your hboot is 1.55+ and you go from S-Off to S-On, after a few reboots a "tamper detected - rebooting" is likely to occur, and TAMPERED will be back in bootloader.
so you'll need to downgrade first, set s-on, and then take OTAs.

you can check my guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541082 on instruction of how to make your phone 100% "out of the box" including s-on, and when to do it.

PS: you can either rebrand your phone or keep it unbranded, that shouldnt matter, as far as i know.
