Noob Question = Whats Super CID - HTC Sensation

I successfully installed CWM and got S-OFF while using the guide posted in the Android section.
Should I just flash a ROM now thats already rooted? Do I need Super CID? Is that only useful if you want to go back to stock?
edit:
I just read that it allows me to install a ROM from any carrier, not just T-Mobile. Do most of the ROMS require Super CID?

Granting Super CID will allow you to install all original HTC RUU ROMs, not just those intended for your local model. It basically sets your internal HTC model number that RUUs look for to 11111111, which allows you to install any of them.
It is not required for any of the customised ROMs available here, it is only useful if, for example, I wanted to flash the WWE HTC ROM on my Telstra Sensation.
Hope this helps!

[Q] QuestionS asked by a Noob

Hi
Sorry i m a noob.
This android flashing is very new to me. I use to own HD2 and flash by using hardSPL and recovery.. but this is total new to me
Pls BEAR with my with my noob question..!!
my first question is
i want to install battery percentage..
SO i should Installing S-off, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on
what if i do wrong? will my mobile brick? Unlike WM, it had hardSPL to protect.
U don't need supervisor and u don't need to make it s-on again.
Pretty much s-off, clockwork mod, root it, then flash what u need in clockworkmod.
Oh thanks what is the s-off and on?

Security off, security on. Put simply the flash memory where the system files are stored is read only when security is on. In order to modify the system in any way (to root or flash a custom rom for example) it is necessary to set security to off. Security off makes the system flash memory read/write.
Hope this makes sense

No not Really, unless you want to flash a ROM different from your region.
Super CID can be done later on also.

You only need to worry about CID if you need to run an official RUU from a different region. You don't need to mess with CID if you're just flashing cooked ROMs.
oh!!! thank!! haah

To be able to point you into the specific direction you need to provide some additional information, especially like:
- country
- branding/provider
In general you can find all available stock RUU here:

I would strongly recomment you to read, re-read and search (google or XDA) if you have questions.
Anyway the starting place is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
o S-OFF allows you to install stuff that you need by bypassing phone security.
o Recovery (e.g. ClockworkMod a.k.a CWM) allows you to install ROMs. It also allows you to do a complete (well almost) phone backup and recovery of the phone. So it's easy to get back to a prior version, Nandroid backup/recovery.
o SU gives you admin rights on the phone.
o SuperCID alows you to install any county's /carrier's ROM. e.g. debrand the phone from the shipped ROM.
There are a myriad of ROMs in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1112
Have a look at the number of replies / number of times they've been viewed to get some idea about the popularity.
You'll need to make a couple of decisions:
1: AOSP or Sense based ROMs. The stock one is Sense, pure Google Android is AOSP, they each have a different look and feel.
2: GB (Gingerbread) or ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich). ICS is the latest BUT BUT BUT needs additional steps to be performed to update the phone's firmware. I WOULD strongly suggest starting out with a GB ROM first as there is less likely to go wrong.

Surely the post immediately after your OP answered the question, or did it not ?
The other posts, including my earlier one, answered a different question. Hence the comment from another poster, sorry don't have the name, mentioned hijacking threads is not cool.
sorry i am a newbee.........but the post you gave was a link for guide to s-off and s-on....and i have completely done s-on...........but still worried to have official ota as my phone is still 30 days old

OK getting the thread back on track.
Did the post after you original one answer the your question.
If not, get the phone S-OFF'd and SuperCID then just install an appropriate RUU, then you'd get the OTA.
EDIT: or just reinstall the RUU for your county/carrier
Most people are going away from shipped ROMs here and trying different ROMs with their good and bad things.
So you mean to say that we can get HTC update with s-off and original ruu only......and u mean no need to do s-on also ????

Look, someone posted a potential solution. Someone else asked a different question (hijacked thread) which was answered.
Please explain the current situation and the attemps you've tried that have failed.
HBOOT, Recovery, Radio, ...... That info is crutial. Also what you are attempting to achieve .
i had s-off and rooted and now i have succesfully s-on and unrooted my device and now i am on official stock ruu...........my question is that can i update my phone via ota updates from htc???
I think OP is trying to ask if flashing an Asian RUU and going to S-ON will turn his T-Mobile Sensation 4G into a proper Asian handset (and therefore get OTA updates that official Asian handsets do).
I'm not sure if it would (maybe there's an IMEI check?), but I would change my CID to be what it should be for that RUU (and not leave it at supercid).
i have supercid my phone and i remain on t-mobile ruu then will i get official update
I'm actually quite curios to know the answer, if I just s-off my phone will I be receiving updates from HTC, I got the T-mobile phone and I live in the middle east, my phone does not read arabic, I'd ultimately like to install a middle east rom , but then will the official updates stop?
I don't think anyone will know until the OTA drops. My hunch is that having the right RUU and CID would mean you get the OTAs. Having supercid will probably not work, since that's essentially what identifies your region.
But putting my XDA hat on, why would you want an OTA anyway when we have legendary chefs here to get you hooked up with good roms?
btw, I tried out one of the InsertCoin ICS roms, and the Facebook app could read Arabic and Urdu properly (right-to-left with joined letters). I didn't check the browser, but it probably would have worked as well. (In GB, you'd have to patch the system libraries to get proper letter joining)
I guess you wouldn't, I just read some people commenting about having some bugs in their custom roms, so I just automatically assumed that the stock roms are at least stable. the other reason is that I'm afraid to break something
I just went through this, I had s-off with super cid and had the stock HTC Europe RUU flashed on my phone.
The phone detected an OTA update was available (an old one that was released after the RUU), but when I tried to download it, it just timed out. I reset my CID to HTC__001 and then it downloaded the update OK.
i bricked my phone while doing s-on
i know its a true brick as nothing is happining not even the charge light
can u tell me that "would this have affected my motherboard or not"????

[Q] - S-off failed - need guidance

HI all,
I am sorry if this question may have been asked before but I have followed the instruction on [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA
but I still can not get the S-OFF.
I use the toolkit : [ROOT] HTC One X AT&T 2.20 Firmware - X-Factor root exploit
I believe my phone is rooted but I can not get the S-OFF. in the bootloader it said "Temppered" unlocked but the S-on
Can I please get some direction on what I did wrong?
Cheers
I want to flash either the telstra stock or the Clean rom I beleieve. I am not sure which one to try but I want the one with the closest to the stock but the optimised version of the stock.
Thanks
Arda
"Tampered' means you are rooted. That is a good thing.
What step of the S-off process are you stuck on? Any error messages?
Did you confirm you have SuperCID?

Cheers for the reply.
The steps which failed was when I had to confirm the restore. This is on the process getting the superCID.
I accepted the restore but on the screen on the phone the restore said "restore starting" and then few seconds later it said "restore end" as if restore does not get completed.

Ha, I called that one! The use of "cheers" had me thinking you were not an American. Its the dual core version of the One X/XL right?
X-factor only works for the AT&T version. X-factor is failing to change the CID because (I think) its looking for the AT&T CID (CWS_001) and not finding it.
I think you have to change the CID the "manual" way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671396
Instead of CWS_001, of course you will be looking for your carrier's ID (whatever that is).

okay now I have followed the tutorial above and when I check my CID is now 1111111 because I changed it in the hex edittor and pushed it again back.
when I reboot it still came up with the S-ON
I am not sure if this is done for me?
any suggestions is much appreciated
thanks

THANK YOU!!!
got the S-OFF displayed now and CID 11111111
so if I want to flash firmware (closest to stock), which tutorial should I follow?
any recommendation for :
1. ICS version which is very stable?
2. JB which is very stable?
I am using my phoen for internet browsing, skype, WhatsUp and also emailing most of the time.
Any recommendation is greatly appreciated
Cheers
At this point pretty much every Rom is stable. I don't think there are any ics roms in active development anymore. If you like close to stock go look at the roms in the android development section. They are mostly all sense based and each brings its own tweaks to the table

Don't muck around with firmware... HBoot versions etc. don't matter much once you have s-off.
If you like sense roms, Cleanrom is great (very close to stock) or ViperXL (much more customisable). You'll find both these in the Android Development thread. For a more native Android experience I'm loving Liquid Smooth, available in Android Original Development.
Good luck!

But i dont know how i get back to stock could somebody please help me ?
Thanks.
If you just want to be on a stock Sense ROM, just flash a stock rooted ROM from Development.
Or restore the nandroid backup you made before you flashed CM10.2. You did a nandroid, right?

Just pick a ROM from the "CUSTOM ROMs" section, and flash it (stock rooted ROMs are also included at the bottom of that section). No guide should be needed, if you already flashed a ROM before.
