I'm trying to determine my CID & MID based on this firmware thread
Using Terminal Emulator and the commands:
su
getprop ro.cid
getprop ro.mid

I get blank entries after each getprop command. What does this mean and how can I get determine CID.

I'm running S-OFF,

kay I got it.
I just SuperCID'd instead. Problem solved for good
Cool, but just so you know... getprop seems to read off the build.prop of the ROM. To properly retrieve your cid and mid:

Code:
fastboot getvar cid
and
Code:
fastboot getvar mid
...while in hboot.

You don't need the su. It won't work if you run the command as su. (my guess is that su makes you a different user, which prevents you from seeing the buildprop)
