[Q] I have S-off with CID 11111111

[scaffman]

hello peeps my question is what is the best way to flash roms to my device ? do i need to root my device to flash roms and do i need to flash alpharev's h-boot ? my device had CID 11111111 and S-off . thanks in advance

As you s-off just flash recovery and you are ready to go...
One question how did you get super cid?
About alpharev hboot... It depends on rom requirements but there are only for Desire Gsm aka Bravo (code name)

i think the device was shipped with super cid because i have not done anything to change cid . it all seems to be stock i brought it on ebay last week "wow luck" i think these S-off are rare ?

Not s-off but supercid on htc desire... Could you post your hboot/fastboot screen info? Just for curiosity

Very easy to do with ur sensation i just found this guide

Navigate to fastbootby pressing volume downand pressing power button to select (power off > vol down + power on) It will take you to the fastbootbootloader screen on your phone Connect your phone via USB Your Screen should now read fastbootUSB

8. enter the command "fastboot oemwritecid 11111111" 9. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader) 10. enter the command "fastboot getvarcid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111] 11. enter the command "fastboot reboot" 12. You can now flash any ROM you like.

If your desire is s-off it has superCID, the hboots are patched. You will never need a goldcard for flashing a ruu.

Wrong.... supercid lets u flash any ruu whether ur phone is branded or not, s-off doesnt. Thats what the goldcard is for

Yeah I know, what I meant to say is that the hboots from alpharev are superCID patched and if you have superCID you don't need a goldcard. You actually need a goldcard if you're branded and want to install another ruu.
But not if you have superCID

 

[kotag82]

Supercid DOESN'T exist on desire, alpharev hboot are patched ONLY for overwriting hboot by RUU to keep s-off (except downgrader) CID is telling branding/region which phone was dedicated to....to flash different region/branding RUU you need a goldcard which will skip cid check. Without OP hboot screen this chat is useless
