It was rooted first and s off running revolutionary hd then i read your post here so i followed these steps

1 installed sdk and drivers
2 found my cid to be htc__j15 and i asked you u told me it will be europe unbranded
3 downloaded this rom RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.2_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_215830
4 flashed it until bootloader told me its s on and locked
5 every thing went right i first updated the arabic support and another thing which i cant remember may be its related to system but its not ICS for sure
6 whenever i ask for another update it keeps saying its up to date

android 2.3.4
sense 3.0
software number 1.73.415.3
ok that means you haven't flashed the correct RUU it seems ..that might be the problem
you found the correct RUU or rather you have the original backup of the stock ROM ?

Ok here goes.
My bootloader says this.
LOCKED
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.29.0000
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
OPENADSP-v5.6.0.2226.00.0418
eMMC-boot
And then the date.

So here's my problem. My phone has these dead pixels. And its not just pixels. It's like a line of pixels. Like 20-30 of em and they change position (weird right? Lol).

I need to give it for servicing. I have 15 days on warranty. So I need help on getting back to stock.

More details : I'm rooted. I flashed the latest firmware (3.33) and I'm running ViperS ROM with Sense 4. I'm from India (if that's helpful in anyway).

I could use some help. :)

Exuse me if I get this wrong.
I understand when from root we want to go back to the original state there is posibility to be shown *RELOCKED* instead of original *LOCKED*

Does that ruin warranty?
I mean it will be obviuos that phone was rooted, right?

This is not a thread for warranty nor do I work for HTC.
But if you submit a relocked handset, they will repair all hardware problems.
If it is related to software, then flashing an RUU should solve it anyway.

really?
but in the thread it says something like this

- No need to Super Wipe if you have 6.7.x already!
- 3.33.401.x firmware is required!
- 4EXT Touch Recovery is required!
- HTC Sensation 4G (U.S. T-Mobile PG5810000 | T-MOB010) users can flash this for better signal and data speeds!
sorry if oot

Downgrade and rebrand from 3.33

Hi,

In first place, sorry about my english ;)

I've got to send my HTC Sensation for repair, because I have the dust problem under the skin.

I've debranded the phone, and now I'm running Android ICS 4.0.3, FW 3.33, and HBOOT 1.27 (S-OFF and SuperCID). Because my mobile provider is Orange, I want to install the correct RUU, but the newer rom for Orange I've found is: RUU_Pyramid_Orange_ES_1.35.75.1, and I think that the RRU will not work, because it's prior to the current version I'm running.

My question is, Can I flash RUU 1.35, change CID and S-ON? Or the RUU will no install because it's earlier than the current and I've to do more things?

I've read the Firmware thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767) , but it doesn't make clear for me.

Thanks in advance.

You can flash that gingerbread ruu.. Fine as you are SOFF.. Then after ruu.. Change back the cid.. But don't so SON as that's not really required and its tough to do soff again..

Once cid is done.. You can check for OTA.. And if you have ics ota.. You can very well install it fine
