Hi everyone,
I got a branded Desire S (Vodafone Portugal) and I would like to change its CID in order to turn it unbranded. I have tried the fast boot method of "fastboot oem writecid HTC__001" and it gives me back an error as "COMMAND ERROR!!!" with no real specification of what error it is.
Is there a way that i can change the CID?

Yes I noticed it i already asked the moderation if they could move the thread to the Desire S section.
I need to find this out to? I dont want to root my Desire S, I just want to changde CID so i could put unbranded software to it...?
You can just create a GoldCard and make it work, without root or S-Off.
Earlier today I created a GoldCard and upgraded my DS using the European RUU and I'm S-ON & Unrooted.

Yes I know that works I have a Goldcard. The thing here is that I would like the phone to be completely unbranded without the need os special cards so in case i want to sell it or send it to warranty it won't be noticed that i changed something there. So if there is a way to re write de CID it would be good.
Well i actually successfully installed the unbranded european ROM 1.28.401.1 using the gold card. But now i can't receive OTA updates. Is there a way to get it to work?
Why don't you run the European RUU 2.10 version (RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed) from the following link:

Just to answer your question:
(I may need to be corrected on this one)
Based on my observation and experimentation. The CID that you are trying to change, or the CID that the RUU is checking is actually on the build.prop on your phone.
Code:
ro.aa.maincid
But there are two checks that I've observed. Even though you changed the maincid, the corresponding cwkey should be changed accordingly.
cwkey created on your phone corresponds on what is on the build.prop and I believe is also being checked by RUUs.
And maybe just to be on the safe side, RUUs do check what is on your build.prop. If they are not what your RUU wants, it will not push through. Hence, you need a GoldCard.
I myself don't exactly, by codes, know how the GoldCard bypasses the checks. All I do know, is that it works.

So what that means is the phone has to stay branded? There is no way that we can fully unbrand the phone by changing the CID?
And after we use the Goldcard what happens to the CID of the phone?

The goldcard does not alter the CID. It just tells the bootloader to ignore the CID check when running a RUU.
One way to alter the CID is to XTC clip the phone.
Well i ended up doing what you all suggested and flashed the RUU with the 2.10 european rom with the goldcard in it.
But something went wrong and my Desire S is in a strange situation. For some reason the Goldcard did not work like the first time and gave me a CID error. But it flashed the hboot 2.00.0002 but retained the 1.28 rom i had installed on it. I have used the HTCDev method to unlock the bootloader but everytime i try to flash the 1.28 RUU again (to flash the old hboot again) it gives me an "unknown error" that is actually a security error.
Is there a way to get the old hboot back?

Hi folks,
I have unlocked and s-offd my Voda HTC Chacha.. installed a WWE Rom but havent recieved any OTA since then.. I am on 1.19 and there is a 1.54 OTA out..
just checked the CID through adb and its set to Super CID 11111111 instead of generic HTC__001. Tried changing it but I get Command Error. Any idea or solution for this?
Also, Is this the reason why no OTA are showing up?
If no, please advise how can I update the phone via OTA
Many thanks
What's your full version number? Afaik, 1.19 isn't a WWE ROM, it's Vodafone UK

Here are the full details mate:
Android 2.3.3
Software 1.19.206.2
Baseband 47.14.35.3030h_7.47.35.17
Kernel 2.6.35.10-g8db500e
cheers
Searching "1.19.206.2" on Google brings me back to a thread here in XDA's Chacha section saying it's an O2 ROM - so you see any O2 apps or bootanimations? I've heard that O2 don't actually "brand" their Android phones with apps, but still make all updates go through them.
EDIT: Yup, 1.19.206.1/2 is an O2-UK ROM - I found this out from this forum thread: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/7588766-post44.html
RUU_Chacha_O2_UK_1.19.206.1_Radio_47.14.35.3030H_7 .47.35.17_release_195486_signed.exe
RUU_Chacha_O2_UK_1.19.206.2_Radio_47.14.35.3030H_7 .47.35.17_release_197936_signed.exe
As you can see, your software number refers to 1 of 2 O2 UK RUUs
You should flash the 1.33.401.1 RUU from this thread, then see if you get an OTA update to 1.52.401.1 - if not, try downloading it from this thread and apply it via stock Recovery, which is reported to work if you're S-OFF and have a correct CID (HTC__001 for example) or SuperCID.

Fantastic mate, downloaded it as we speak..
not sure how it stayed on 1.19 as after I used XTC Clip, the logos and boot image were gone so I assumed I had a stock rom.. oh well.. everyday is a learning day..
I will let you know how I get on..
cheers for your help mate..
Update... Installed the 1.33 which then took the OTA update which is all good... However I still can't change the CID to HTC__001.. (currently set at 1111111)
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
why you like to change the CID?
SUPER-CID (1111111) might have set during S-off thru xtc clip.... SUPER-CID (1111111) signifies you device is universal device, which enables to flash all languages/APN/other settings in your phone

True, but it forces non-qwerty keyboard users to manually modify the layout in /system/usr/
as described here , because CID is taken into account on default layout.
Once you know the trick, it's OK, but really annoying to do every time you install a new ROM
what are the benefits of doing super-CID (i.e. 11111111)
If i do superCID can I again restore to stock CID..
Please help

Certain things, e.g. RUUs, need to have the correct Carrier ID on the phone in order to install via the bootloader or recovery using the PG58IMG.zip process. The Latest Firmware packs for example are grouped together into sets, this is to allow you to install them if you don't have SuperCID. If you have got SuperCID you can install any of them as all the CID checks pass.
Another reason to change the CID if to allow you to install a generic RUU instead of the one that came with the phone, this allows you to remove the bloatware. For example I'm on Vodafone and I installed the generic Euro RUU purely to get rig of the Vodafone crap that came pre-installed.
The process to change it back is identical to the way you write the SuperCID just using your original CID (mine for example is VODAP001). IIRC HTC__01 is the generic CID

Hey thanks for your response
Ok so I have s-off and super Cid just a few more questions if u don't mind
1. can i install any ruu for any android phone or am I limited?
2. Will installing a ruu for another phone effect the way my current phone works
3. When installing a ruu.exe for another phone will I have to follow the same bootloader unlock method for that phone or my phone?
Sorry for the newbie questions but I have limited knowledge of super cid however I have been rooting for years now
I heard some bad things about super cid but have not had any issues thus far, the guide was very easy to follow and in fact just to make sure it was working I was able to ruu backwards

1)with s-off and supercid you are not limited
2)it won't affect anything at all
But probably you will have some official updates from the specific carrier(if you have)
3)I think it depends from the carrier of the Ruu you have chosen
But actually there is no need to unlock the bootloader because you are on s-off
Edit:in second and third question what do you mean by another phone?
I assume you mean another carrier
If yes then yes
If you mean another device(for example Samsung)then absolutely no
Of course you can use any ruu but only from sensation's devices

NO- you cant/shouldn't flash another model phone's RUU on another
there is a high chance of bricking the device if you do that
Does SuperCID also network unlocks the phone?
There is a lot of confusion on the internet about SuperCID. I have HTC One S which is locked to T-Mobile and I want to get it network unlocked. the "strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6" method did not show unlock_code for my phone (though it has worked for some other people). While googling I found that doing SuperCID by changing mmcblk0p4 can also network unlock the phone. Please let me know if you have some idea. Thanks.

Well it's still gonna show relocked if that's what your talking about bcuz you unlocked it then relocked so it isn't gonna show tampered with unlocked at the bottom that's only for the first time you unlock it that it says tampered with unlocked at the bottom, but if you unlock it again it's just gonna say relocked not unlocked. Hopefully this answers your question.

Yea that is strange but I don't think it would be considered a problem unless you have the phone stuck in Bootloop or something strange is going on with the phone like apps.not working or battery draining fast. I can see what your worried about and it is strange but I wouldn't worry too much about it but you should look up somewhere in the forums about that but I wouldn't know much about the international version I'm on the US version.

Everytime cid changed, I will lock/unlock again. When changed to 11111111, I can't unlock anymore.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Mate, the CID is in the partition that gets summarized together with the other partitions when calculating the Unlock Token.
So, if you change this or any other relevant partition by for example changing the CID, you will invalidate your old unlock token.
After changing CID, please re-lock bootloader, then go "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" and go to HTC-Dev and unlock again.
After that, you can proceed with everything else as usual.
If you cannot unlock with CID 11111111 this is NOT normal. Everyone else can.
So either you did something wrong in the above process or you somehow half-bricked your phone.
Yes, everytime I changed cid, I got a new unlock code. if not, fastboot will give me error message during unlock process.
I think my situation is not normal, and I'm trying to find out why then fix it. Now, I still can install any RUU , if they have the same HBOOT version.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
I'd guess it's a half brick because if you can't unlock something is wrong. There is no unlock counter because no-one has had it yet. I've unlocked about four or five times now too and don't have that problem. You should consider sending it in for repair. As long as there's no S-OFF you'll have no chance to force an unlock I guess. If the security is as complex as on the HOX, it's likely the situation couldn't even be resolved by a jtag programmer or such.

CID 11111111 Issue
Hello there,
I want to install an older RUU (actually installed is RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258480_signed )
my intention is to downgrade the Basbeand Version with this Procedure to get rid of this "HomeButton-Jumparound-Whatever" Issue which occures when i am in GSM (2G) Mode.
when i get this phone brandnew there was no Problem, just after updating to 1.78 this ****** began.
When i changed my CID from HTC__102 to 11111111 the first time everything went fine and i was able to install every RUU
Now i tried to change my Radio to an older Version by install an older RUU, but it won't work no more, i allways get an Error 140 or 131.
if there is another method to change the radio version, I'd appreciate any council
relock Bootloader, turn off virus scanners, run ruu as admistrator, I've done of course
I would be grateful for any help

are you install T-MOBILE 1.84 RUU ?
this will chane HBOOT version from 1.08 to 1.09
if you can unlock, try to find some way change your HBOOT version back to 1.08.
then you can insall RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2.
RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2 can be installed only with the other it does not work
i've got HBOOT 1.13.000 (shown in bootloader)

I don't think change cid and unlock will cause it happen.
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

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.
Hello,
I am quite confused about the term SuperCID and what it means. My sister got a HTC One S. I unlocked and unrooted it for her quite a long time ago. Now, I want to get S-off but I can't do it because I don't have SuperCID. I read on the forum and some people say that Super CID means your phone is unlocked, while other say you have to use the command "fastboot oem readcid" to check if you get SuperCID.
I use "fastboot oem readcid" on the HTC One S and it shows TMOB010. Then does that mean that I don't have SuperCID? Then what exactly is SuperCID when the HTC One S is already shown "Unlocked and Tampered" on the fastboot screen. Pleas let me know. I am quite confused with all this terminology. I can look up direction to get SuperCID but I want to be sure that the phone has it or not before I proceed.
Thank you for your help

SuperCID will be a seven digit string of the same number (1111111, 2222222 etc). These CIDs gain special access to partitions normally locked down (how they test stuff). Having this CID means you can do more stuff, meaning write different sectors etc.
So TMOB010 means you don't have it.
To make a complete answer; unlocked is just when you unlock your phone via HTC's website which allows you special access to partitions and fastboot, however not all partitions are accessible - whereas with SuperCID you can access them all.

correction.
supercid does not allow special acces of different partitions, who told you that.
its just a masterkey for stock softwareversion implementation, nothing more.
its either a eng-hboot or a s-off implementation that gives you that freedom.

That's incorrect. You can have a stock HBOOT and be S-ON with SuperCID. SuperCID isn't the implementation, it's a way to gain the implementation. And it allows you special access in that it's a masterkey...
Example; I gain S-OFF with Moonshine. Does that mean I have SuperCID? No. Does that mean I have an ENG HBOOT? Yes. Can I reflash that HBOOT to stock and keep S-OFF? Yes.
SuperCID allows the flashing of any ROM regardless of the carrier it was meant for (special access) and it also allows for the writing of Ext_ROM (special access, again - see CID LOCK).

No supercid is just a generic cid.
It has no hardware advantage over a stock cid. It's mainly used for unbranding.
I always have my devices on stock hboot and stock cid. Only s-off is what I want.
Haven't found anything I couldn't flash.
Like your link says VENDERLOCK thus software.
It's the unlock (xda-dev) part that provides the access of certain partitions.
With s-off even more is available.
S-off and hboot have no direct relation.
Example: Lower stock hboots can flash radio with only a unlocked device. Higher can't.
What's the difference a device unlocked supercid and a device unlocked unbranded cid. ?
Is there any rom custom that can't be flashed with just unlocking,
Lets make it supercid can I flash more roms?
Its just an coincidence that with the newer devices supercid was needed for getting s-off. It didn't used to be that way.
Hell easy unlocking didn't even exist.
It was s-off or bust mostly.
The link you give is not that clear.
ext_rom have you read there description?
I don't think that's a really secured partition. Do you?
Typing on a phone is fukd if it gets to big.

Yeah exactly it removes the vendor lock which gives you access to write partitions you otherwise wouldn't be allowed to in that way.
I think we're actually arguing the same point here dude Think I misread your point about HBOOT in the second post.

Hmm...., so, based on the info, it means SuperCID is not that different from generic CID. However, you need it to get S-Off, which in turn allows you to write to different partition. Because my ultimate goal is to get S-off to update my sister phone to the CyanogenMod 10.2. Is that correct or did I miss anything?

Blunt answer: you need superCID for S-OFF, unlock isn't enough by itself.
