Hello Guys...i recently bought an htc rezound and in few days arrives here in greece europe.....i own an htc one x and sensation xe so i know how to s-off etc....the thing is that i don't know is about gsm network coverage.....i read somewhere that with the latest official ota there is a an option to work as a gsm phone....if there is an option it can work without s-off or i need to put a custom rom that is global ready?
u just need to unlock the bootloader [if its not already and want to flash non-original rom]
install the rom with global
and don't forget flash the kernel manually cos S-ON wont let it flash
use adb to flash it or via bootloader
You can just install leaked global RUU. No need to unlock bootloader, flash rom or kernel.
Just follow instructions here:

Got an o2 branded HTC Flyer. Don´t want to root it or install custom images but only would like to install an unbranded image on it. Read that there could be a risk to brick the device by OTA due to a special provider CID. Right or not?
I would contact GlobalTron on this forum. I think he has the most expertise in stock ROM installation.
Easiest way, run revolutionary to S-OFF and flash an unbranded ROM excluding the hboot image.
Second way is to use a goldcard and flash a custom image...of course I recommend the former.
After s-off I can get OTA updates for the official ROM without any problems? You wrote that hboot will remain the same.
Hi guys
Sorry if this has been already answered. I tried to search for solution many times and asked in threads of ROM but people give very vague answer. I don't want to risk losing my device and want to stick with easy rooting.
I followed this guide to root my phone: http://androidforums.com/evo-3d-all-things-root/494212-complete-newbies-guide-rooting-flashing-evo-3d-roms-kernels-using-fastboot.html. I installed everything but didn't do S-OFF. One thing I'd like to share is that I did unlocking through HTCdev and also that I run Rogers phone. Currently I'm using kingcobra 2.4 ROM.
So now I wanted to install ICS but I need to install new firmware. I tried to revert back to stock ROM and do ICS update but it'd stop at HTC screen and same thing happened when I tried to install ICS rom.
So I need to install this new firmware for sure, but I have S-ON I think. Now things I need to know and perform I believe are:
S-Off
Install new firmware
-------
Now do I have to do RUU update as well? If so, where do I do that and how do I know what RUU I am running? Also I'm running HBOOT 1.49.0008 because I did unlocking through HTCdev
-------
If I wanted to simply use the Rogers ICS update, how can I get it? Do I still need to S-Off? I did full back up. Please explain very clearly.
you want to go back to stock so you can install the OTA / official ICS rom?
You can dl the RUU from the htc website. Rename it to PC86IMG.zip and let it install in bootloader
Whats the link for it please? I am on Rogers evo 3d
Also I think i have the base RUU?
The only rom I installed had this:
"
Base: Rogers RUU 1.20.631.2 HTC EVO 3D (Shooter U GSM)
Android Version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Kernel: Your choice:
"
I chose original kernel, meaning not installing any. I don't think I need stock ruu now do I?
If someone can find me an easy S-off tutorial, I would be more happy to do that and stick with rooting.
I have spent too much time trying to find a way to update to ICS and I am regretting to root my phone now =[ I can't get ICS either way...
go to htcdev, enter your info and they'll let you dl the ruu for your phone.
i used s-off wire trick , try that for hboot 1.5

It doesn't matter what country you are in. Just flash stock rooted ICS ROM. You should flash 4ext recovery though, because it's recomended for Evo and has smartflash option which allows you to flash custom boot image with s-on
liquidsmooth has a new rom in development that i highly recommend checking out although it requires s-off the little effort it takes to do so would be worth it in my opinion and there is plenty of guides to walk you through it. just make sure its a gsm rom as i spent the better part of a day trying to figure out why my gsm rom wouldn't work on my cdma phone. live and learn
hi ppl .... m using HTC ONE M8 (at&t unlocked),, I want to update it to android 5.0.2 through manual RUU update,,
but updating by this procedure,,,,will it relock my phone again from at&t carrier.
kindly advise
No, RUU will not SIM lock the phone again.
If the bootloader is unlocked, you need to relock.
But if the phone isn't modifed (bootloader unlock, root, etc.) then just backup you personal data (RUU will wipe the phone) and run the RUU.
same issue
