How to debrand after S-OFF

[Cola-Wodka]

Now that we have S-OFF how can we debrand our phones? Is it enough to flash the unbranded RUU? Or do we have to do it through recovery?

I would like to know this too, would like to remove the branding from my Sensation as well.

Download a custom rom.Any chance either of you can perform a backup in recovery and upload the recovery.img please

How is that supposed to help in debranding the phone??

ok

I installed leedroid, based on europe unbranded rom on my tmobile. i knew it before hand that would not debrand my phone, even then i did it.

i then tried to install ruu for the same version. got smae error 130 (not specific for device).

I noticed that installing leedroid did not update my baseband.(radio)

Maybe i'll try installing radio and see if it works.

Guys if anyone has any idea kindly help! we dont wana pay $30 for getting an ulock code, if it can be done on our own

S-off done
Clockworkmod
Perm Root
SuperCID installed

Update: Changed baseband as well did not work

Ok

I think the SuperCID posted in the DEV section is not working.
Because in the HTC desire Z section here, there is a post on how to debrand the phone.

and its pretty simple:

1-S off
2-CID Off

Flash any unbranded RUU from PC and good to go!

I have SuperCID installed but when i Flash RUU it give error 130 (Incoorect RUU for the Device).

So i guess SUper CID is not doing what its supposed to do

Thanks alexp999. Is there any difference with the SuperCID method? Is having ENG H-BOOT better? Noob questions, I know....

I prefer not changing cid, then I don't have to keep backup for warranty purposes. My method also doesn't require root.

Eng hboot is only temporary as it gets overwritten with shipped hboot when you flash the ROM from the ruu. Eng is only used to bypass cid check.
