Hello,

I wrote a tutorial for S-OFF ans superCID, because you need it for android 4.2.2 and sense 5!

First make yourself superCID, and then S-OFF!

superCID

Make sure your phone had SU installed!

We need to go into the shell
Code: 
adb shell

Need super user
Code: 
su

Dump the partition
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4

Typ twice
Code: 
exit

Get the partition from the SDcard
Code: 
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p4

Open mmcblk0p4 with a hex editor.

Edit your cid to 11111111 (Offset 00000210)

Example: Change CWS__001 to 11111111

Save the changed mmcblk0p4MOD

Push the modded one back to the SDcard
Code: 
adb push mmcblk0p4MOD /sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD

Open the shell again
Code: 
adb shell

And need SU
Code: 
su

Replace the origional with the modded one!
Code: 
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

Reboot into bootloader
Code: 
adb reboot bootloader

Get your CID id
Code: 
fastboot oem readcid

Click to collapse

S-OFF

Special note for One S users - flashing the OTA firmware (which you are initiating, but not actually doing here) likes to BRICK superCID phones for some reason. Follow these instructions EXACTLY. After the error 92 in step 5, whatever you do, do NOT run the fastboot flash command again. Make sure you procede on to step 6.

http://goo.im/devs/dsb9938/soff/soffbin3.zip (extract it)

Put them together in a folder. make sure ADB and Fastboot are working!

Open CMD and move into the folder with the 2 items!

Go into the bootloader
Code: 
adb reboot bootloader

When done, boot into RUU mode
Code: 
fastboot oem rebootRUU

Done, flash the zip, located in the same folder
Code: 
fastboot flash zip PJ4010000-OneS.zip

You will get an error:
FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)

Flash it immediately again
Code: 
fastboot flash zip PJ4010000-OneS.zip

After, just boot into android
Code: 
fastboot oem boot

Just wait, and when android is booted, type these commands
Code: 
adb push soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/

Then
Code: 
adb shell chmod 744 /data/local/tmp/soffbin3

And last
Code: 
adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"

When all done, wait 5 sec and execute the following command
Code: 
adb reboot bootloader

If everything went good, you see S-OFF

Strange... It didn't work for me and another guy. At the end it was still the old CID. I tried it the same way you described.

You can't supercid on hboot 2.15 with s-on because its write protected unless like I said above your one of the luck ones

But if your s-of you can run the fastboot command fastboot writecid 11111111

Agreed. I can't get SuperCID, and I know I'm doing it right. Everything works until I try and replace the original mmcblk0p4 with the modded one. It says it transferred, but then I bootloader it up and check it out and it's still TMOB001 or whatever.

No you need s-off before you supercid with jb Firmware so you need to
Use moonshine then run this command to change to supercid fastboot writecid 11111111

I might just make my own guide instead of repeating my self

Moonshine isn't working. It's just producing a lot of "........."' at Step 3. So there's really nothing I can do. I might try and install Linux on a Live USB and try moonshine on linux. Or is there a way I can install the Tmobile ICS RUU and downgrade and use facepalm, then try and install the MaximusHD rom?

Make sure when you moonshine, you download the correct version. I thought I downloaded the one for HTC ONE S, but I donwloaded the one for ONE. It took me days before I realized I had the wrong file.
