Certain things, e.g. RUUs, need to have the correct Carrier ID on the phone in order to install via the bootloader or recovery using the PG58IMG.zip process. The Latest Firmware packs for example are grouped together into sets, this is to allow you to install them if you don't have SuperCID. If you have got SuperCID you can install any of them as all the CID checks pass.

Another reason to change the CID if to allow you to install a generic RUU instead of the one that came with the phone, this allows you to remove the bloatware. For example I'm on Vodafone and I installed the generic Euro RUU purely to get rig of the Vodafone crap that came pre-installed.

The process to change it back is identical to the way you write the SuperCID just using your original CID (mine for example is VODAP001). IIRC HTC__01 is the generic CID

first you need to S-OFF then supercid
after that you can use any ruu.exe

Super Cid

Hey thanks for your response

Ok so I have s-off and super Cid just a few more questions if u don't mind

1. can i install any ruu for any android phone or am I limited?

2. Will installing a ruu for another phone effect the way my current phone works

3. When installing a ruu.exe for another phone will I have to follow the same bootloader unlock method for that phone or my phone?

Sorry for the newbie questions but I have limited knowledge of super cid however I have been rooting for years now

I heard some bad things about super cid but have not had any issues thus far, the guide was very easy to follow and in fact just to make sure it was working I was able to ruu backwards

Thanks for your expertise you r awesome

1)with s-off and supercid you are not limited
2)it won't affect anything at all
But probably you will have some official updates from the specific carrier(if you have)
3)I think it depends from the carrier of the Ruu you have chosen
But actually there is no need to unlock the bootloader because you are on s-off


Edit:in second and third question what do you mean by another phone?
I assume you mean another carrier
If yes then yes
If you mean another device(for example Samsung)then absolutely no
Of course you can use any ruu but only from sensation's devices

So I have verified that I have super cid on my evo 4g lte by ruuing backward, however when I try flashing an htc one ruu i get an error message that its the wrong file, so i tried flashing an original evo 4g ruu and still get the same message

I am still s-off
relocked bootloader
super cid
hboot 2.0.9
latest firmware

am i missing something?

Thanks

no maaaaannnnn
don't use any ruu for sensation to evo 4g
go to the evo 4g's thread and see there for ruu.exe files
this forum is only for sensation/xe/4g

i thought you were talking about sensation devices

to reduce the confusion

NO- you cant/shouldn't flash another model phone's RUU on another
there is a high chance of bricking the device if you do that

Does SuperCID also network unlocks the phone?

There is a lot of confusion on the internet about SuperCID. I have HTC One S which is locked to T-Mobile and I want to get it network unlocked. the "strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6" method did not show unlock_code for my phone (though it has worked for some other people). While googling I found that doing SuperCID by changing mmcblk0p4 can also network unlock the phone. Please let me know if you have some idea. Thanks.
