CID change

Is it normal to be able to change cid without s off?

Yes, I can freely change my cid. I have the 5.18 firmware, unlocked bootloader, and supercid (22222222). I have changed it to that from 11111111 and to CWS__001. Is it because of my unlocked bootloader?

I was just messing around and wondered if random fastboot commands worked, such as fastboot own writesecureflag 0. That returned an error, so I tried changing the cid. It froze the device so I tried rebooting and saw that it actually changed.

Once I get home I can.

Can you issue this command:

fastboot getvar all

Please post the results, but edit your IMEI out.

This is normal, and when i chage the cid and reboot it it shows this:

When I do change the CID, the devices freezes and throws this error:

I hope this will help sort this out.

And I want to know if what I'm about to do will brick me. I've changed my cid back to att, and I can relock my bootloader. Ive also changed my mainver to 1.00.000.0. Would it be very risky to run the 3.18 ruu?

There was a flashable zip floating around for a different device, I tried it and it worked. I know that supercid and s on is a brick, but what about at&t cid and s on, that should work. The only point of running that ruu would be to get the 3.18 firmware and try to use rumrunner and facepalm and possibly firewater.

I flashed it as it didn't mess with anything phone specific and it was for other devices as well. Besides, the worst that could happen was it would soft brick. And I've tried those methods and they dont work. I've tried them sever times on different computers and different cables. I've also tried different roms. It just diesnt work.

When I try facepalm, I get an error of not allowed when I flash the zip file In fastboot
