SuperCID?

[claudenegm]

Hey guys
If I'm not wrong SuperCID is the manufacturer code, which prevents me to flash any Custom ROM and staying on Stock ROM, right?
So, if I didn't do SuperCID and still on Stock ROM, can I use RUU to return back to S-ON? If yes, will it install even if the RUU isn't the right one for the device?
Thank you

Super CID means you can flash ANY RUU you decide to try

So if I didn't do the SuperCID, if I choose the wrong RUU, it will not get flashaed or will it continue and I'll end up with a brick?

Edit: I found this: "If they don't have SuperCID, they'll get 'ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR' if they try to flash the wrong RUU and it will stop without flashing anything to the phone." Can anybody confirm that it's right?

Thank you

That is correct. With your normal CID you can only flash RUUs that are for your phone. WIth Super CID you can flash any RUU that takes your fancy

Others have reported that with super CID, they were not getting the updates from htc, but some said that they still received official updates from htc even with super CID. There are no real downsides to superCID as far as I know except maybe when you return it for warranty purposes, but you can always put your original CID back. Just take note of your original CID before you super CID.

The alternative to SuperCID is to flash the ENG hboot after you're s-off. The ENG hboot will disregard a CID mismatch.

Guys,
Noob question: do I have to be rooted to get superCIDed?

I didn't create any SuperCID when unlocking bootloader with Revolutionary... If that bad? Can i get that again?
