Hmm,

Never tried before.

Phone Terminal:
"getprop ro.cid" gives "VODAP001"

Fastboot:
"getvar cid" gives "cid: 11111111"

I believe the Fastboot version of CID is the important one as far as flashing stuff, installing RUU etc. The way my phone is ATM I'm SuperCID for flashing and it's certainly the only one I'd considered.

I must admit I'm surprised that they're not the same though. I'll have an idle search for this.

EDIT: Found some info from a very old thread, it'll just add to confusion so won't post. In essence just use the SuperCID method contained in the following thread and it'll work, i.e. Fastboot to write and check.

cidnum: HTC__J15 ??
You should be good to go with that with the HTC Firmware.

But if you are going to do the "fastboot oem writecid" command you might as well do 11111111, flash the firmware, get the rom booting, go back to the bootloader and then do "fastboot oem writecid HTC__J15" and set it back to what it was if you don't want to stay SuperCID :)

Try this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21644098&postcount=47245
That is one of the best follow throughs I have seen for getting on the latest ICS Roms and flashing order.

Thanks Man now its working :)

Fastboot will show current cid.
Terminal and Cid getter show your phone's original Cid :)

I don't know why it is done this way. I am assuming the fastboot reads off the eeprom but the terminal and Cid getter read off something in the built in hardware

That is what is nice though. If you don't know your original CID you can find out that way in case you even need to fix it so you can send back for warranty

Hi Kohr-Ah, regarding the update that time you help me when I PM you. Is this a updated version or the same as that time?

I can't honestly remember when that was :p I have to delete a lot of messages out of my inbox every other day. If it is based off of what your signature says (you are on 6.0.2) 3.24 is Newer and is used to run 6.1.1

Have you tried to restore your phone with an original RUU, get it back to stock, and then reroot with revolutionary?

Of course, tried it with all official RUU's for the XE:

  • RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.72.401.1_Radio_10.58.9 035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_214840_signed.exe
  • RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.2_Radio_10.58.9 035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_215830_signed.exe
  • RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9 035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed.exe

and of course with the inofficial test RUU:
  • RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.12.401.102_Ra dio_11.65.3504.00U_11.19.3504.29_2_test_233434.exe

Tried it with the RUU installer and with the "extract rom.zip from installer and rename it as PG58IMG.zip" method.

No chance... Any ideas, what i can do now?

Thanks in advance,

ToM

I don't know if any one asked but I have supercid and I was wondering if I could updated my firmware to the 3.24 revolutionary firmware? Or is there a link to it somewhere that you didn't edit? I on T-Mobile US.

Thanks in advance.

So this is there any order I can go in order I just put it in SDcard root folder and go to hboot? Also, if I upgraded once with the older firmware, do I need to do anything before updating it to the latest?

Backup Current ROM (just incase)
Firmware to SDCard Root
Flash Firmware
Reboot (At this point it will not boot. It will stay at HTC screen)
Take out SD Card and remove PG58IMG (if you can't without phone then just boot in recovery and put SD back in)
Super Wipe
Flash new Rom
Then you should be good.

Possible Solution- Worked for me.

Of course, tried it with all official RUU's for the XE:

... removed ROM list for the sake of brevity ...

and of course with the inofficial test RUU:
  • RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.12.401.102_Ra dio_11.65.3504.00U_11.19.3504.29_2_test_233434.exe

Tried it with the RUU installer and with the "extract rom.zip from installer and rename it as PG58IMG.zip" method.

I tried using this solution because my CID and MID is listed. CID= HTC__J15 and MID = PG5813000.

But do you have this same screen as mine? Well, I think we have the same ***Security Warning*** message.

relocked.jpg


I think it might be because the we are both S-ONed (as was mention in your other posts).

on_hboot.jpg


I also tried doing some other things to solve the loop but I was stuck as well. Even when I choose Recovery, it still went back to the same screen (screen 1).

I even tried flashing it with RUU_Pyramid_HTC_ARA_1.34.415.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_197242_signed.exe and I got ERROR[140] Bootloader Version Error and I was still stuck.

I tried this one out because I want to bring back my phone for repairs and is still under warranty. You can check out my dilemma through: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21756585#post21756585

However, try this one, if you're still stuck. It worked for me: (Everything got erased though, and I had to re-setup my phone)

  1. Removed phone from USB Cable.
  2. Reinstalled HTC Sync (I uninstalled it a couple of days back when I had the problem of S-ON)
  3. Unlocked using "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" (I got the Unlock_code.bin when I unlocked my phone through HTC Dev.)
    • When I did "adb devices", my phone is not listed.
    • I just tried "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" it went in.
  4. Driver auto-update happened.
  5. Phone reboot (mine did automatically).

I hope this helps. Please post if it worked for you or not. It might help others as well.

Unfortunately, I am still stuck with my warranty dilemma. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21756585#post21756585

So, if anybody can help, it will be much appreciated. :D

    ##NOTICE - Please Make sure you are downloading correct one for your ROM and Read this post!##
    Thanks goes to Mike for his firmware files, Revolutionary for patching the file, and all devs who keep giving us a reason to flash.
    Also Thanks goes to hoosbude who hosted my firmware files when I needed a place to keep them up for everyone


    PLEASE realize that this has the same warnings as all firmware. It can brick your device so please know how to flash it before you do so. I am not responsible if you misflash and brick your device.
    This thread is beginner friendly so by all means ask and I will respond when I can or I am sure others are willing to help as well.

    Firmwares that I have posted:
    3.33 Universal is the latest/stable release ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version and works for Sense 4 also)
    3.32 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
    3.30 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
    3.24 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
    3.12 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW before that (Sense 3.5 Version)
    1.17 Universal This is the original Revolutionary 1.17.1111 Firmware with a completed Gingerbread Firmware v 1.45 package (Radio 10.14.9035.01_M)

    ######################################################
    What is all this?
    What I have here is a series of flashable updates of a complete GingerBread package and the latest ICS Firmware [Firmware from 1.17 - 3.33]
    This is for those who don't know or have bad luck editing the android-info.txt file. Some people don't want to superCID or don't know how to use fastboot or adb. This makes you able to update without having to superCID or have to go to a PC.

    So what is universal about it?
    I have added a method found by mf2112 that allows the android-info file to have a wildcard tag. So instead of having a T-Mobile file where the android-info file has every cidnum the identifier is one entry into the android-info file and it covers every possible CID that T-Mobile has.

    ######################################################
    "I really want to use the latest ICS! How do I go about doing this?
    I get this PM'd to me a lot. The best way I have seen to do it is as shown

    0. Make sure you are S-OFF (These won't work if you aren't)
    1. Download PG58IMG.zip for the version you want
    2. Copy/paste PG58IMG.zip to the root of your microSD
    3. Make sure MD5 match!!!
    4. Reboot into bootloader (While phone it completely off hold down Vol - and Power. Keep pressing until in bootloader. In Ext4, if in android, choose Power Menu - Bootloader)
    5. Once in the Bootloader choose Bootloader and then microSD will be scanned and will ask you if you want to update, press +vol for YES
    6. Follow onscreen instructions.
    7. Now just pull sd card out (when process is finished) if you don't have microSD reader or delete PG58xxxx if you do. PG58 will prevent you from going into recovery if phone sees it.
    7.5 If you don't have a SDCard Reader - Pop the SDCard out. Boot into the bootloader, go down to recovery, pop the SD-Card in then choose recovery.
    8. If you do have a SDCard Reader -> Reboot into bootloader and go to recovery after deleting PG58IMG.zip file and putting the SDCard back in the phone
    9. Reboot or flash new rom
    10. You are done. :) Enjoy the ROM

    My ROM doesn't boot. HELP!
    Boot into recovery and clear dalvik and cache. 99% of the time this will fix that issue.

    ######################################################
    How can I tell if the firmware flashed successfully???
    In the bootloader up at the very top it will say the firmware version you just installed.
    Ex: -Firmware-3.33- or -Firmware-1.17-

    How to check your current Firmware Version for those who flashed before the most recent update:
    fastboot getvar version-main

    How to check your CID & MID:
    You can do this one of the following ways.

    1. fastboot load into the bootloader and do:
    fastboot getvar cid
    fastboot getvar mid

    If you don't have fastboot I have provided a download of it at the bottom of this post. Read the Read-Me file inside of it.

    2. For those without fastboot you can use an app called CID Getter. CID is displayed at the top. MID is at the line ro.mid
    This will not tell if you are SuperCID or not it just tells your original CID.

    3. If you want to do it by terminal, open a terminal on the phone and do:
    su
    getprop ro.cid
    getprop ro.mid

    If it gives you the result of CID: 11111111 and MID PG58******
    You are superCID. Use any file you like it doesn't matter they all work for you.

    ######################################################
    What is in the Universal Firmware File android-info.txt?
    modelid: PG5813000
    modelid: PG5813001
    modelid: PG5810000
    modelid: PG5811000
    cidnum: H3G__***
    cidnum: HTCCN***
    cidnum: HTC__***
    cidnum: HTC*****
    cidnum: VODAP***
    cidnum: T-MOB***
    cidnum: ORANG***
    cidnum: O2___***
    cidnum: ********

    ######################################################
    Can I edit the firmware files and change them to my liking?
    Ofcourse! And let me teach you how below ^_^

    How to edit the android-info.txt File via Windows (Will add Linux later. Sorry I don't own a MAC so I can't tell how to use that)
    1. Go download Notepad++ and install it [It is free and is a great editer and makes it easier]
    2. Download your PG58IMG.zip file you want to edit or one from a post by a DEV.
    3. Double click file and open using Windows Archive Manager (Windows built in ZIP program)
    4. Right click android-info.txt and copy it. Paste outside of the zip file
    5. Right click android-info.txt you just pasted and open in notepad++
    6. Add your cidnum that you want to the file or modelid. Use the ones already in there as an example.
    7. Make sure there are no spaces after your cidnum or modelid (So it shouldn't be "cidnum: T-MOB010_" _ = space)
    8. Save it
    9. Double click the PG58IMG.zip again. Click android-info.txt and delete it in the archive (Don't extract the archive)
    10. Drag and drop the new android-info.txt over PG58IMG.zip
    11. Flash your newly packaged edited Firmware
    12. Grab a drink and celebrate. You just created a custom firmware package.
