Debrand HTC Desire S

---

Just wondering if anyone had managed to debrand a Desire S.

Have made a goldcard and ran the RRU however I get a bootloader error.

Not really interested in rooting or installing custom ROMs just want rid of the Vodafone crappy.

Thanks

I hope I'm right, but i think you need s-off too for debrand :/.

Waht kind of crap?

Bootanimation/splash is hard to remove.


To delete apps from Vodafon or apps from htc (amazonmp3, navi preinstalled) you have to root - after rooting they are "normal" apps to uninstall.

root:
1) s-off your phone (should have be done with your gaoldcard)
2) search for onclickroot here on xda
done

Hmm.. is your desire s s-off? If yes then just flash the original HTC ROM Ruu! Just look it up in this forum! For me it worked well! Even my T-Mobile splashscreen disappeared!

Any suggestions?

Out of curiosity what is your SKU and P/N on the box as i purchased an O2 desire s and it came with generic firmware and unlocked. Although i think i got lucky.
