thats it good to go with this methodGreat thanks. i just want to make sure i grab the right firmware -- i found mikes thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2696282 and it says that i need to match my CID number --- if I'm superCID "111111.." it doesn't matter i can pick any one then correct?
ahhhh oops just re-read your post. i think that's what you're referring to. thanks
"
Your CID number must be exactly the same. If it's written "HTC__001" it means you can't flash it, if your CID is "02__001". The whole text must match!"

That's not what it says here.. ? in fact i found this method on the same thread you just linked me to...
There are 3 main methods to flash Firmware, which are technically the same (the actual flash is always carried out by the hboot, but the way to get there can be different). I will cover 2 methods. My “automatic” (FUU) approach (simulating HTC’s RUU) and a manual (RUUMode ZIP) approach. The third method, placing a firmware.zip on the SDcard is already covered by @skulldreamz over HERE.

Instructions:
1. Download firmware of choice in above links
2. Rename firmware to 0P6BIMG.zip (the first character is a zero, NOT A LETTER O)
3. Put renamed firmware.zip on your external_SD
4. Boot into your bootloader and make sure your in hboot and let it update its firmware.
5. No PC, no adb, no fastboot, no terminal is needed, just a root explorer to rename and transfer the renamed firmware file to external_sd
6. After you have updated your firmware, make sure to remove the 0P6BIMG.zip from your external_sd because it will ask to update your firmware everytime your reboot to your bootloader which it is technically supposed to do but its unnecessary after you have done it once (unless you are planning on flashing firmware again).
