What is super cid - HTC Sensation

I'm in the process of doing s off on my sensation and I was wondering what super cid is ...also can you do s off flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom without super c I d

Super CID "allows you to flash ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier" (taken straight from the S-OFF sticky). You can certainly S-OFF, install custom recovery, and begin flashing custom ROMs without Super CID, but you will be limited in your choice of ROMs to those that are the same carrier as you have. Acquire Super CID and you're more or less free to flash whatever ROMs you want from the dev section.

CID is the Country Identifier, a code which is stored on your phone and software uses to determine which country or region the phone is for. HTC updates, for example, use it to determine (among other things) which languages to install.
SuperCID is a special code, 11111111, which means that software from any region can be installed.
While SuperCID may seem handy, note that if you are only interested in debranding your phone, the OTA (over the air) updates which HTC sends will not be available for your phone, since there is no specific region defined. So, in such cases, you should choose a specific CID for your region.

super cid change
can u pls direct me on how to change my super cid to a specific cid.ASP PLS.:fingers-crossed:

are you on S-OFF?
if yes then connect your device from bootloader to pc(in the hboot screen should say fastboot usb)
open a cmd window in your adb and fastboot folder and type
fastboot oem writecid <<name of cid>>
fastboot getvar cid(to cinfirm that your cid has chnaged)

Super CID is just use for flashing any custom Rom that I want?or it is useful for flashing any RUU too?
for change the CID,I dont know the CID of my region or the CID of the ROM's region that I want to flash,I know the name of region,but CID shoud be 8-characters code of region,can anyone direct me to the thread that collected all of CIDs of the countries??...thank you

supercid is only for flashing any kind of ruu.exe
it isn't necessary for custom roms

if you want to supercid you must be on S-OFF first
about bootoader you don't need to relock it if you are on S-OFF
by the way why are you asking here and not in your device's thread?

Yea. Had bootloop..but I went ahead and fastboot flashed boot.img. I thought the whole idea on flashing boot.img was cuz at the time rom was made, it was intendeded for s on devices.
When I bought the phones that's first thing I did was getvar all to see the specs. It came"s off" with locked bl. So I unlocked bootloader and checked getvar again and it said unlocked and s off. IDK why I had to fastboot the boot.img. Could the s off status be a lie? Lol

Using htcdev method to unlock your phone doesn't give you complete unlock solution it prevents fastboot commands that's why you are unable to supercid your device using fastboot command.
Using HTC unlocked bootloader you can still flash roms but you can only flash roms which are having stock kernel as option like ARHD. any other kernel will not be accepted by bootloader

Yeah I came to know that too.
I'm just trying something and verifying it
I'll give you an update in few minutes
Edit1:
Can you first verify your CID and MID and post it here
type "fastboot getvar cid" and "fastboot getvar mid"
these commands will work as they are doing just reads
Edit2:
Can you give me small info?
Type
"dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p16_bkp"
Without quotes on terminal emulator after typing su
(Be careful while using dd command its extremely low level command and its quite risky(may brick the device if typed wrongly)
so double check the command before pressing enter
Also this command will just read the block so it might pose no problem but be cautious just in case)
And send the mmcblk0p16_bkp (will be at sdcard root once you type the command) through private message to me/or post it here if its fine with you
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
Exactly the same problem HELP! I want Sense 4 ORDROID and it just won't flash because the firmware won't flash because i cant supercid! The problem is the same! Because i used the HTCDEV method
Sorry can't help you in this case.
I've confirmed with devs .
No one for sure knows where/which partition the cid is stored.
So modifying the partition won't do and its pretty dangerous which might brick your device.
So we can't change cid without fastboot command.
I'll dig further and will let you know if I got any leads

guys are you sure you are soff
i mean when you unlocked your boot loader using htcdev the bootloader reads unlocked ...but wont change s-on to s-off
so double check the s-off and if you are s-off then you guys have
a big chance to completely unlock your boot loader and also get supercid
so if you guys are soff then flash the latest firmware package again
then you'll get both soff and supercid

someone might try revolutionary to get the bootloader unlocked (or not )
You are clearly **unlocked** but still S-ON.
Use Revolutionary to S-OFF and then supercid devices.
Beta key is case sensitive so be sure to digit it correctly (usually this is the main reason why it doesn't work at first attempt).

revolutionary does two things
1.unlock your bootloader completely (unlike HTCdev which unlocks partly)
2.S-off your device
Right now you are out of luck
but there 2 promising developments happening which might get s-off on hboot 1.27

Sorry, I was new to this actually. I only unlocked the bootloader. I was/am still S-ON.. Anyway to get to S-off? Or suppose I get an official OTA update from HTC (which I think I will get though I have unlocked my bootloader), will everything be back to how it was when I bought it?? So that I can start everything afresh with Revolutionary method. I am not going to htc dev method again!
Please help.

just wait for 2 promising tools which claim to downgrade your HBOOT ...i've mentioned them in my previous posts and subscribe to them
2.If you want to flash a custom rom....then you still have a chance ...but only couple of roms though
(you did have custom recovery flashed right....CWM i guess)

[SOLVED!!] Customer ID Error on RUU

So my ATT One X is soft bricked and when I run RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.82.502 It gives me the customer ID error.
I rooted, unlocked bootloader, and flashed CMR, but it is now no longer rooted and the bootloader is relocked.
I did modify the CID to "11111111" to unlock the bootloader, but without me being rooted I am unable to put the original "mmcblk0p4" back on (idk if that even matters.) I have no backups and absolutely everything is erased.
I did flash the stock recovery img file, but I don't know if it was relevant to international One X or if there is one specifically for ATT One X.
I guess a fix would be making a goldcard, without an sd card somehow....
Thanks for the Help.
Never seen that error before. Have you tried running the 1.85 RUU? I have RUU'd multiple times while still having the SuperCID so I don't think that's the issue.

fastboot oem lock
Then run ruu.
The ruu will flash the stock recovery.

Are in Canada? That would mean u need to use the rogers ruu, not the evita. Or, are u positive u changed your cid to 11111111 and not ROGER001. There were tutorials in the beginning doing this before supercid 11111111 was found. But customer I'd means either, rogers or evita typically. Evita ruu won't work on rogers and vice versa:thumbup:

No. I'm in US on ATT network. And yes I did change the CID to 11111111 because I used that method to unlock my bootloader.
I've tried several RUUs for my phone and still get same error. If I were to verify I had changed the CID I would have to be rooted.
Is it possible to root a soft-bricked device????
What's the error number?
Depending on what it is, there are different fixes.
if you can still do fastboot commands I'd unlock the bootloader again then push the twrp with USB support.
Once you do that you can flash the rom of your choice by copying it to your phone from TWRP.

get to the bootloader (power volume down)

fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin just like you did to unlock the bootloader in the first place just make sure that adb, fastboot, and the unlock.bin file are all in the same directory on your computer
once you are unlocked you should be able to do the rest
Error 131 is related to using the wrong RUU for your CID SuperCID will override this error. If you flashed your CID back to the AT&T one the only RUU you can flash (I think) is the 1.85 one

You need S-OFF if you have an S3. If you have an S4, just an unlocked bootloader is fine.

Reboot phone into fastboot mode, open cmd window on your computer linking to the adb path.
fastboot oem writecid 11111111. Being SuperCID you can flash whatever RUU, but not receive OTA updates.

first i have to say that i have a S4 version that i checked with cpu spy and you told me that i only need unlocked bootloader so its unlocked and when i try to supercid it says: FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)) and then i get stuck in bootloader mode and i have to get it out of bootloader mode manually (command fastboot reboot-bootloader didn't help cause i got a respond of waiting for device)
and then when i boot again into fastboot usb and type fastboot getvar cid it says HTC__K18 like the old one.
what do i have to do?
is there any way to s-off htc one s?

There is a link to Super CID instructions in the dev forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671643
Also, there is no s-off yet for HTC One S.
Third, what carrier do you have? I did not recognize your CID. If there is a RUU that you think exists that Football has not posted in his thread, than I suggest PM ing him. Thats how I was able to get the three Bell Mobility RUUs onto FileFactory. But I am curious about your carrier as it may already be in his list.

[Q] Wrong CID

Hi all,
I feel like I have looked everywhere and cannot find an answer for this. I have an at&t one x that is rooted and unlocked with a custom rom, however I somehow changed my cid from supercid 11111111 to htc__001. Is it possible to get supercid 11111111 back or at least wsc__001 so I can run the correct ruu on it.
Thank you in advance for any ideas or help
Just do s off then it will bypass cid... But I think you can do fastboot oem write cid 11111111( don't know how many ones there are)

there's 8 characters in the CID
You can change the CID the old "manual" method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671396
Or if you do S-off, you can just change the CID with a fastboot command.
Sounds like you were one of the folks that changed to the quad core CID so you can flash a ROM from that phone. Scary.

I will try the manual fix, thank you!
I did not read everything I should have in the beginning. I was trying to run a ruu back to stock and did not know I could have done that with supercid ( which I had at the time) and thought I had to change the cid back to original and mistakenly thought HTC__001 was correct. After I realized WSC__001 was actually the correct original cid and now i can't change back in fastboot without errors. I got to comfortable and got ahead of myself.......

You don't need S-off to use the fastboot command to change it from what I understand you just need to have Super CID.

Right but without s-off, you can only do it once, away from SuperCID. After that, you're stuck.
OP has neither s-off nor SuperCID, which means he needs the exploit.

Well.. anything intended for your device!!!! -_- You're gonna brick noobs talking like that lol
Went with ViperXL 3.2.6 and love it! Thanks to all who helped!

[Q] Brick or not?

HI all,
I tried to flashed the RUU but it seems that the version I flashed was lower than the one I had.
Now the screen is just black and I can not use the power + down vol to get to fastboot at all.
it will be greatly appreciated if I can get some guidance to get to the fastboot.
Cheers
What exactly did you flash? What does the phone show up on windows as? Does charge light come on when plugged into wall? Did the ruu complete? s-on or s-off?
You really didn't give much info.

apology - duplicate post
bricked
thanks you for the response.
sorry I was not sure what info to give.
I was trying to flash RUU asia HK because I originally from STOCK turge but everytime I have a conversation my phone keep shuting down.
so I did (quoting from the instruction page):
Download HTC One X Stock Recovery
Download correct HTC One X boot.img and RUU based on CID. Download CID Getter from Google Play Store and run it, it will show your CID.
For this case, cidnum is HTC_044. The correct RUU is X.XX.707.X. Make sure you have downloaded the correct RUU.
Extract Fastboot.zip into a new folder, renamed the folder to Fastboot. Recommended to extract the folder to drive.
Copy and paste the downloaded stock recovery img and boot img into Fastboot folder.
Boot HTC One X into fastboot mode by press and hold Volume Down + Power button.
Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable.
At your computer, open up Command Prompt windows. (To OpenCommand Prompt –> Windows Logo–> Type CMD in search box –>Enter)
Type fastboot flash recovery endeavoru_recovery_signed.img , followed by fastboot reboot-bootloader and fastboot erase cache.
Once you flashed the stock recovery, continue to flash boot.img to your phone. Type fastboot flash boot boot.img, followed by fastboot reboot-bootloader and fastboot erase cache.
Now, relock the bootloader by typing fastboot oem lock, followed by fastboot reboot-bootloader and fastboot erase cache.
Your phone will restart after you have relock the bootloader.
Boot into Fastboot mode.
Double click the RUU, follow the updater instruction.
Wait the sending file to your phone, it normally takes 5-6 minutes.
Once the installation/update completes, your phone will automatically reboot.
when I last look at the details My CID is still 11111111 but status "RELOCKED" - it says also "EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL"
HBOOT 2.14.0000
does this mean that I can safely run RUU:
RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_HK_2.42.708.3_Radio_0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L_release_286715_signed.7z
If there still more things to do, would you kindly direct me to the correct link to follow.
THank you
Never mind, didn't read properly. Will edit and repost.

Your first problem is that you're flashing things that aren't intended for your device. The recovery you flashed is for the Endeavoru, you have the Evita. The second problem is it looks like you're getting your information from the wrong place, to go back to stock you don't need to flash a recovery or a boot.img, all you need to do is flash the right RUU for your device. What RUU did you already run? I need the exact filename. Does your phone power on at all? Can you reach the bootloader?

I see you're looking at all kinds of different threads at the moment, that isn't going to help because I don't think you know exactly what you're doing, you don't know what you've done, and you don't know how to recover from it. Your best bet is to stay in this thread and I'll try to help you work out what's gone wrong.

The progress is that I somehow manage to get to fastboot by pressing the vol down and power .
I am trying to download : RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.17.707.1_Radio_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_298958_signed.exe at the moment but it seems that the first download did not complete - so I am downloading again,
is this what I need to do? just run the RUU?

U should download one that has the same radio as yrs also it will take fast download speed otherwise it will keep breaking up. t took me 4 attempts before I manage to download it yesterday (same file as one u r trying) good luck cheers!
You got seriously lucky. You ran an RUU intended for the HTC One X (codename Endeavoru), you don't have that phone. You have the HTC One XL / at&t One X (codename Evita), they're completely different phones. Note how the first RUU you ran has Endeavoru in the filename, that's bad, really bad, don't ever flash anything that doesn't have the Evita codename within the filename. If it has Evita in the filename it's for your phone, if it has anything else don't touch it, burn it, run away. Like I said, you're incredibly lucky your phone isn't bricked right now.
I can only assume that you're a bit confused and have been hopping between the two forums for these phones. In future stay within this device forum that you're posting in now, don't ever go anywhere else. You don't even need to visit other websites because, seriously, everything you'll ever need is right here within this device forum. Plus other sites don't properly distinguish between the models which causes confusion.
Anyway. The second RUU that you've listed there is perfectly fine for your phone. I can't guarantee that it's going to work though because previously running the wrong RUU could have really messed things up on your phone. But your only hope is to cross your fingers and run it now. Let me know how it all goes.

What are you talking about? He doesn't need to use an RUU with the same radio/baseband that's currently on his device, that's just wrong. Firstly the idea of an RUU is to update your device, therefore traditionally you'd be updating to a newer radio version than the one that's currently installed. With s-on you can only run an RUU that contains a firmware version that's equal to or greater than your current firmware. This user has s-off though so he can run any RUU that he wants to, including earlier ones (RUU'ing backwards). I don't know where you got the idea that you need to run an RUU with the same radio as your existing radio but it's just plain wrong, and you really shouldn't be telling people that.

False. With s-on, you can only run RUUs for your CID, and with the same or latter hboot and firmware number. So if you were having trouble flashing an RUU, its probably because you were s-on and trying to either flash another carrier's RUU, or an older version.
The OP is s-off, so therefore all security checks are off. He can flash the RUU for any carrier, any version. As long as its meant for our device (EVITA), of course.
Hi guys
Thank you for all the guidance.
I got the 4.1.1 on my phone now and phone is use-able. I can not thank you guys enough for the help.
After i finished RUU flash the phone detected the new firmware update. When i dowloaded and tried to update, it says that the phone has been modified and they can not run/install the update. When i checked my boot it shows :
"relocked"
cid is still 111111.
Evita pvt ship s-off RL
HBOOT: 2.14
radio : 0.23a.32.09.29
Do i need to do more installation before my phone can get the update from HTC like the one coming out from the factory?
Cheers.

You need to change your CID back to the stock CID to take the OTA update.

I searching in the forum about changing CID. But it seems that is all about how to change CID to 111111. Is there any tutorial to revert back to original CID?
Do i need to sort out my s-off first before changing CID?
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Arda
You said in a previous post that you're s-off. So are you s-off or s-on? Please boot into bootloader and post your bootloader details again.
Sent from my Evita
Hi Timmaa
I believe I am S-OFF - when I look at the bootloader screen it said S-OFF.
Do I need to flash anything at all to get my CID back to original?
On that note I was looking at the RedPoint73 resource guide page but I am not able to find the tutorial to make the CID back to original.
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
All you need to do is issue a fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx
The x's represent the new CID.

I did :
fastboot oem writecid 622 but it came back with ....INFOfail: [writecid] invalid CID
I flashed the RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.17.707.1_Radio_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_298958_signed.exe
was the 622 number incorrect?
cheers
No, 622 isn't a CID. A correct CID consists of eight characters, that's why I put eight x's in my example. What model is your phone? You need find the right CID for your model and change it to that. You need to be more careful, you're attempting things without knowing what you're doing again, you're in serious danger of damaging your phone.

Hi Timmaa
My phone is HTC ONE XLTE
I use CID Getter and it came up with HTC__622, so I entered that into the fastboot command and it changed my CID but when I try to flash the new update downloaded directly through the phone it came up with the messsage below after verifying the phone.
not sure why.....( pls see attached)
So you ran the RUU.exe? You didn't extract it or anything? What have you done to the phone since then?
