Is there any way to reset my SDAs CID? - HTC Tornado

I've been scouring the net for an answer and I'd just like to know if it's possible to reset my CID back to the T-Mobile default. I want to flash it back to the stock TMO rom and relock the CID to its original value. Can I do this with SPV-Services or any other program? Thank you for your help.

[Q] HTC's "official" bootloader unlock process

Please please forgive the newb question, but once the bootloader is officially unlocked by HTC's method (basically entering a token you pull from your phone, and then flashing a .bin file they send you based on that token), is it reversible? I.E. is it possible to re-lock it back to factory status? I'm assuming not, but can't find any hard evidence one way or the other...
Apparently someone has said you can re-lock it but I've not used it. Better using Revolutionary IMO
Well you can do a "simple" re-lock just to ensure noone else can make changes to it with "fastboot oem lock" - but it's not the factory lock. The bootloader simply says "re-locked" instead of "unlocked", or compared to the factory "locked".
But I was thinking in terms of reverting it truly back to factory status. Again, I don't think it's possible (without HTC's intervention anyway), given the nature of how it was locked, but need someone smarter than me to confirm that suspicion.
So basically, using Super CID, you can run the RUU.exe from the bootloader only, and get your phone back to 100% stock, but it'll still be unlocked. So I'm guessing there is no way to reverse HTC's unlock process.

I flashed the android revolution rom with my device unlocked through htc website, I cannot flash back to stock, I tried the RUU to bring me back to 1.27 and 1.29 and error'd on both of those. I am not sure how to get back to stock. I tried several times. I also cannot get my security to turn off in the bootloader after I unlocked through htc. Has anyone figured out how to do this? I tried the revoltionary.io tool and successfully used the tool only to reboot and see the S-ON in bootloader mode. CRAZY I suggest for anyone to turn their S-OFF using revolutionary.io before they ever attempt to unlock the bootloader through htc. What I am experiencing is error under the wifi switch I cannot seem to get wifi working with any of the roms, probably due to the kernel or not having s-off in bootloader. I tried different and stock kernels only to have the same problem.

Has ANYBODY tried the goldcard method to reflash to stock? Take the rom.zip from RUU and flash in bootloader
So ive gone back to stock htc orange ROM with the CID ORANG001 and i am now also S-On after being on ARHD, after probelms with the phone in case i need to send it back, so by the looks of what you are saying I am not actually back to factory status? So will HTC be able to tell in the case that i have to send it back fro repair or whatever? If so i also need to know how to re lock and get back to complete factory status!?
EDIT: im pretty sure bootloader was already available on the phone, and my firends incredible s, he is able to access bootloader without doing anything to his phone
Gold card doesn't work, otherwise we could've used it before S-OFF

Where is this CID ORANG001 you are referring to? Do you have a link? And as far as I know you can unlock the bootloader but there is currently no true relock.

[Q] unrooted Sensation

I have managed to unroot my sensation, change the cid back to ORANG001, flash an Orange UK rom back onto it and then revert back to s-on so it should now be all ready to send back for repair under warranty.
What I am puzzled about though is when I place an 02 network sim in it it still operates. Have I missed something or should it not now be locked to orange again?
Is there something I have missed out that I need to do b4 I send it back to htc?
after u disable simlock it will not be enabled by installing an ruu revert s-on and stuff like that because then i could simlock my phone by doing it:S its a seperate action and i dont think they will watch if you simunlocked it because that cant bring any hardware/software faults since there is a way if i remeber good when u dont even ened bootloader to do it idk for sure

S-OFF and warranty

I am sorry, because this have probably been asked many times, but I have a little more specific question. I have HTC Sensation rooted, and S-OFF. Now I want to send it to the service under warranty, because I noticed there is a dust under my screen.
I know what I have to do, but I dont know which default rom should I choose, so they definitely would not suspect anything. Does it have to be carrier specific or just some random EU rom? I am from Slovenia, my carrier is Simobil (Vodafone).
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
you need to flash one based on your cid which kinda gives you carrier,country info
use this guide as reference
Thank you, i just read this, however I still dont know how to find the right ruu for my phone. There is no Simobil Slovenia on the ruu list. Any other way to find out which rom to flash? The thing is I dont really remember whether I changed my CID at some point or not, so I might not be able to see/find the correct one.
Thanks again.
Ok here is what I found out now:
If i check for CID via fastboot i get this: 11111111 (i remember now, i set this)
But if i check it via application CIDgetter i get this: HTC_032
Q: Is this HTC_032 the true default CID or it could be just the info of currently installed rom, which is Viper 1.3.5 ?

Hi,
CIDGetter will show you your original CID.
When you check it via fastboot,you will get your ACTUAL CID.
If you are s-off,then , you should be able to run a European RUU and get back to stock.
Then, follow the guide ganesh gave you to s-on.

the cid you got via fastboot is the current one you are having
and HTC_032 is the rom cid ..so if you are having stock rom ..it represents your actual cid
Thank you both for your answers. Hmm, so one of you think that CIDgetter gives you original cid, and one thinks it gives you the CID of current rom. If ganeshp is right, then I still dont know my original CID, as currently I have Viper S 1.3.5 rom :// If malybru is right then I have to flash rom with HTC_032 CID and not just any European rom? Again it is important, because I dont want to get rejected on my warranty...
Thanks again.

both of us (me and Malybru ) are saying the same thing
cid from fastboot ..gives you the actual/current cid you have right now
cid from cid getter ..will give you the rom cid (in case of viper it is HTC__032)
also based on your country ..i think the fitting RUU is indeed is of European Unbranded one (as malybru said )
if the phone is not linked to carrier (like contract phone ) then European unbranded is the right RUU
It has been bought through carrier contract, but they stopped locking them, but it could still be locked in case it was from old stock... I'll have to try that, so in case it is locked to the carrier, I need different rom? Im sorry for so many questions but im really lost in finding the right rom.

[Q] s-off = sim unlock ? JB SuperCID?

Hi,
Does anyone know if s-off will unlock the locked devices?
Is there anyway to super CID JB rom ? Because the update puts write protection to system files.
Thanks
The file in question /dev/block/mccblkp04 is not much as protected as is virtual file. It get loaded (created) at boot and reside in memory. When you restart - any changes are gone. It is virtual file - not physical. I was able to change attributes and write to this file, but after reboot - the changes was gone. I am suspecting that to get supercid we need to look and boot image. I am not that good, but maybe someone with more knowledge will be able to do it.

it will unlock almost everything, but some things require an eng-hboot
not yet. latest jb ota (tmob jb update and eu ota ****.9) are problematic.
on the eu jb *****.8 there was no problem getting supercid and thus s-off.
S-Off means security off and has nothing to do with Sim unlock. thats diferent.
and about Super CID is something diferent too. in other words you could have a S-off and Super CID phone and still be Sim locked.
My phone doesn't have the unlock code used to create the SIM unlock code. I tried everything with no luck. Every tutorial didn't help as the file needed doesn't exist. Is there a way to do it with s-off ? Radio change?

Try doing factory reset and then follow This tutorial
Believe me I tried, I even ran the ruu with no change.
My phone was serviced by HTC after a brick occurred and they relocked it and changed the imei.

[Q] German T-Mobile back to stock through WWE CID and then T-Mobile OTA?

Wondering, how I get back to stock for my girlfriends One Mini from T-Mobile Germany. The battery has quite strange problems and we want to give it to T-Mobile for service.
I think it won't be good, when the phone is with an International CID even if she bought it from T-Mobile with a T-Mobile CID, right? Flashing stock international would be no problem with S-Off (Just change CID and flash a stock international rom).
The main question is, can I change the CID to an international one, flash a stock rom, change CID back to T-Mobile one, make phone S-On and locked, flash stock recovery and update thorugh OTA? Will the phone get the T-Mobile OTA from then on?
Or do you think I should change the CID to an international one, flash stock, make it locked and s-on and give it to t-mobile?
Many questions but I hope I can get even one answer
Cheers,
Patrick

Hi Patrick
I honestly don´t think you get an OTA update from T-mobile if you only change your cid.
For getting OTA´s the firmware and build number must match and also have to be T-mobile.
Even if you get an OTA it will fail through installation if both don´t match.
(Doesn´t matter T-mobile or not)
greet´s
