yes goldcards work with sensation at OP use the tool i attatched with my last port on page 2 that will get you back to stock even tho your main version is higher :)

and it dont matter even if the android info had his CID in it still wouldnt work as his main version is higher than any of the branded RUU so still would not work

do you know how to make gold card ? if you do download the goldcard too i attatched and make a goldcard using that when u have the goldcard.img mount your sdcard ( make sure its formatted ) and click load goldcard.img and it will turn your sdcard into goldcard, then flash the branded vodafone RUU again ;)
I have never made a Goldcard before but there must be a first time for everything

When i want to get CID from MMC1 and MMC0 i get:
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
------------------------
Could not locate CID in output

lol stupid me for not reading properly. you cant. plug your sdcard into a sdcard reader into your pc and try again please
Still get the same error.
Is the MMC1 or MMC0 the internal storage?

I also have contact with HTC about the HTCDEV support.
But they need the "E2E Reference" any one known how i can get that?

Is it not possible to edit the RUU rom.zip and replace the recovery with the clockwork mod?

Sorry, had to run an errand yesterday.

It's not possible to flash CWM via fastboot since it's unsigned. The only recovery you can flash is a HTC signed recovery.
I've updated the ROM.zip file from the RUU to flash to your phone.

Download this file:
https://mega.co.nz/#!PdoGSTRQ!JbQT_UWGQu2_Nq5cNmkI4ATvqH0B1O858OQOOFFnRd4

Copy the file to the folder that you have fastboot in.

Then run this.
Code:
fastboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash rom.zip

fastboot flash rom.zip
I get a error
sending 'zip' (430233 KB)...
OKAY [ 59.198s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 132.942s

I am now flashing the rom.zip from the RUU stock file that i have with fastboot and then it can flash it.

Update:
The command prompt tells me that the flash is successfull but the phone shows the HTC logo with the green bar under it. And a little piece is not green.

If it's done. Try:
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot

fastboot reboot
The first command gives:

erasing 'userdata'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.007s

The reboot works but it does not boot any further then the HTC logo.
screen get black and reboots.

Response from HTCDEV takes a little longer they wanted a screenshot of info.
I told them that is not possible.

Try this:

fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then run the RUU again.

Run the stock vodaphone RUU again.
Phone still stuck at boot. Only bootloader can be started
I think the only option is to wait for HTC te support me to unlock the bootloader.

What about this?
If you can reflash the bootloader this way can i reflash the recovery?

That is dangerous and can seriously damage the phone, so I don't recommend doing it.
I don't understand why your phone doesn't boot.
Can you do a factory reset?

Extract the files from the ROM.zip.
Copy them to the folder with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash boot_signed.img
fastboot flash system.img
fastboot flash recovery_signed.img

I have used winrar to unpack the rom.zip

I also got the a Device Model Sensation XE back from HTC.
But there are not Sensations XE Vodafone RUU and the one i got flashes.
Is there no different RUU for the Sensation and the Sensation XE?
