HTC__621..
But I stay in India and bought the phone from India (unbranded)....from a dealer which I usually buy my phones..so is this good or bad for me?

What exactly is the SuperCID useful for? I found out my Sensation wouldn't get the FOTA with the superCID but with the regional unbranded CID for my country (HTC__E11) it did.

Very handy this list! I have a question though, i had a dutch Vodafone branded sensation. I did S-off and wrote HTC__E11 cid. Does this mean my sensation is now a stock HTC Sensation and i will receive OTA updates straight from HTC instead of Vodafone now?

Forgive the ignorant question...

When I run getprop ro.cid in TE, I get T-MOB010. However, when I go into fastboot, and run fastboot getvar cid, it shows 11111111 (I did the Super CID thing yesterday). I'm trying to figure out why? Or the difference?

Currently I have Revolutionary S-Off - Sensation 4G.

If I remember correctly, when you write SuperCID, it makes a backup of your old CID. Which is probably what is in ro.cid

I have changed from VODAP001 to HTC__001 and it definetly changed both though, if I getprop ro.cid I see HTC__001 now.

No, that doesn't give you the bootloader CID, only the CID of the ROM installed.

Bootloader CID can only be viewed with an engineering HBOOT flashed, as this HBOOT has the option to view the CID.

fastboot getvar cid Gives you bootloader CID, this is the one you want
getprop ro.cid Gives you CID of ROM installed, nearly all custom ROMs use HTC__001 as this is the generic ROM and makes a good base for Custom ROMs.

CID of ROM installed is only helpful when you have lost your bootloader CID or didn't bother to write it down before changing it, but you still have your factory stock ROM installed. You can use getprop ro.cid to find out the CID of the factory stock ROM installed and therefore what your bootloader CID used to be.
