Hi Lads, will this procedure work on a S-ON phone?

Actually the owner of the device flashed a rom after which he is unable to use Touch.. i read n found its coz of the hboot & rom combination.. any how if it works for S-ON then he might be in luck

Thanks

Why do I need supercid if I'm s-off? Still contemplating if I would ever need this. Want to keep hastle to a minimum if I have to send back for repairs.

Im wondering about this too. Ive "backup up" all my settings by going a "fastboot getvar all" so I can revert to whatever nonsense I set, but if I'm already bootloader unlocked (through HTCDev), S-OFF, but otherwise on (Sense) stock, unrooted are there any negative consequences of going SuperCID?

I'm curious and googling all over the place and searching the forums haven't really given me a clear answer :)

WRITE SUPER CID-
(allows you to flash ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier. Just click RUU.EXE)

ONLY download ADB tools if you do not already have it!

1. Download adb tools here: download for WINDOWS or download for LINUX or from the attachments below
2. On your pc click on your local disk C: Drive (or D: drive for some) (WINDOWS users: Start > My computer > Local Disk (C:))
3. Create a new folder called "adb" and extract the files from adb.zip into it. Make sure it doesn't create another folder in the adb folder when extracting

attachment.php


4. open command prompt (or terminal for linux) and type "cd" "followed by the path to your adb folder" (windows users can type "cd C:\adb")
5. Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure usb debugging is on settings)
6. enter the command "adb devices". This is to confirm your phone is connected. (It should come back with list of devices attached and your serial number)
7. enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader". (nothing further required device WILL reboot in bootloader)

IF it doesn't you can Manually put the phone in the bootloader/hboot mode
Navigate to fastboot by pressing volume down and pressing power button to select (power off > vol down + power on)
It will take you to the fastboot bootloader screen on your phone
Connect your phone via USB
Your Screen should now read fastboot USB

8. Enter the command "fastboot oem readcid". Make a note of your original CID.
9.enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
10. enter the command "fastboot read cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]
11. Press the volume down button twice on your phone and navigate to reboot bootloader, then hit power button to reboot the bootloader.
12. Bootloader will also say "CID-11111111" now to confirm :) You can now flash any ROM you like.

TO REVERT BACK TO ORIGINAL CID

i wrote on step 8 make a note of your original CID

follow all the steps above and then in place of step 9 enter the command "fastboot write cid YOURCID" where YOURCID is the CID you made a note of

so for me this would be "fastboot writecid O2___001"

Hi , My phone's CID is HTC_332 , I have changed it to 11111111 , in boot loader it shows 11111111 but when I boot into the rom it shows HTC_332, pleas help

Nothing to worry about your CID is now 11111111. The other CID reference
is the original one installed on the device but won't cause you any issues as it is not checked by RUU.

Yes if you are superCID.

Hello,
does changing CID wipes your phone data?
I've got currently HTC__001, everything stock, I am curious if simple changing CID to HTC__032 make me possible to run new OTA to 4.3 and sense 5.5 (which is already available to HTC__032).

No not really. The CID in my bootloader changed, but cid getter still showed my original CID. But changing the CID like that still made me receive the update so I don't care :p

i tried without s-off, but i can't. don't work command readcid and writecid, after typing it shows waiting device and thats all..

Am I doing something wrong

    Just a suggestion, instead of manually going to the folder in the cmd on windows, you can just hold shift + right click on the open folder, you'll then have an option "open command prompt in this folder"(don't remember the exact wording) this will open the cmd with the path of the folder already.

    Do you receive otas if you have supercid or would HTC__001 be better to receive otas more quickly?

    You cant get any OTA's with supercid. OTA's are finicky. For an OTA you must have stock recovery, the correct CID, the correct MID and all stock apps need to be installed. OTA's do a thorough check of your existing system to make sure you qualify for the OTA. If a RUU is available for same update, it doesn't require all the safeguards... Supercid would work fine for an RUU.

    Great guide!! Thanks.

    Out of curiosity how can one revert back to T-Mobile cid?


    Just write back your T mobile CID Fastboot oem writecid TMO__001 or whatever it would be, i dont know but the one you would make a note of
