Supercid ID?

---

I've just got my hands on a HTC3600/Trinity, but it currently has a Spanish version installed on it. I've read through the forums about re-flashing and downloaded a generic WWE version.

I've gone into the bootloader and typed info 2 as directed on another thread and it replies with: HTCS11111111Я©îHTCE

Does having the CID set to all 1's as above mean that it is already a supercid?

Thanks in Advance.

yes, that probably means it's already SuperCID... can u check the output of "task 32" command? Is this a preproduction device? Check also if there's any difference with SD card inserted and without it.

Cmd>task 32
Level = 0

I don't have a miniSD to hand so the slot is currently empty.

Not sure if its a preproduction device or not.. the only clue I might have is that the casing is completely unbranded, just a plain white shell.

I have got the same. this is supercid phone. Likely one of those that HTC sends to carriers for testing purposes.

>> unbranded casing.

ok. for sure DEMO unit sent to carriers by HTC.

Is there any other useful info I can give to anyone before I start trying to flash this?

Can you check your bootloader version?

If the Trinity was not purchased through a provider and has no afilliation with any provider, is it already CID unlocked? Feel free to call me a moron. I tried looking around, but can't seem to get this through my head properly.

Can someone educate me about this CID deal? What is CID and what difference does it make if its locked or unlocked?

I bought my phone on ebay, poped in a SIM card, and it worked. That means its unlocked?

SIM lock: the phone will work only with a SIM from a certain operator. A phone that is not branded by an operator is never SIM-locked. So your phone is probably a standard HTC branded phone, it is not SIM-locked and you can use any SIM.

CID lock: the phone software can only be modified/upgraded with another version for the same CID. I think it stands for Country ID; this means that a phone with French Windows Mobile can only accept an upgrade of French Windows Mobile. It is probably required by Microsoft to license the software to OEMs to avoid piracy (I suppose). HTC uses the CID also to distinguish their various distribution channels, so a DOPOD branded device and an HTC branded device have different CIDs. A phone that is not locked to any country version or to any distribution channel has a SuperCID and will accept all WM software whatever the language, etc. Your phone is probably CID-locked.
