Hey guys
If I'm not wrong SuperCID is the manufacturer code, which prevents me to flash any Custom ROM and staying on Stock ROM, right?
So, if I didn't do SuperCID and still on Stock ROM, can I use RUU to return back to S-ON? If yes, will it install even if the RUU isn't the right one for the device?
Thank you
Super CID means you can flash ANY RUU you decide to try
So if I didn't do the SuperCID, if I choose the wrong RUU, it will not get flashaed or will it continue and I'll end up with a brick?
Edit: I found this: "If they don't have SuperCID, they'll get 'ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR' if they try to flash the wrong RUU and it will stop without flashing anything to the phone." Can anybody confirm that it's right?
Thank you
That is correct. With your normal CID you can only flash RUUs that are for your phone. WIth Super CID you can flash any RUU that takes your fancy
Are there any downsides from using SuperCID?

Others have reported that with super CID, they were not getting the updates from htc, but some said that they still received official updates from htc even with super CID. There are no real downsides to superCID as far as I know except maybe when you return it for warranty purposes, but you can always put your original CID back. Just take note of your original CID before you super CID.
The alternative to SuperCID is to flash the ENG hboot after you're s-off. The ENG hboot will disregard a CID mismatch.
Guys,
Noob question: do I have to be rooted to get superCIDed?
I didn't create any SuperCID when unlocking bootloader with Revolutionary... If that bad? Can i get that again?

Thank you guy, you answered to my question!
How would I go about doing this sso I can sell it? I'm currently on a 3.5 rom.
Same problem here (warranty exchange). I've done everything recommended here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 but when I rune the .exe, I get an error [155] (incorrect ruu). I have searched everywhere for an up-to-date RUU, but have not had any luck.
You need to change your cid number to correspond with your carrier if you search the forums there is a list of them I presume you know how to go about this as you would have to have the super cid 11111111 or Eu HTC__001 to flash another Ruu other than your carriers

Change Cid number? Why would I have to do this? I've never messed with that before.
My apologies I presumed you had installed a unbranded firmware prior to rooting
Normally you have to change the cid to do this as the gold card method won't work

I followed a thread here to return to S-ON and then flashed the newest RUU from the post that lists all of the RUU's for the Sensation.
alright I've been reading and I'm still a little confused.
Basically, I have an s-off sensation with root and a rom. It's a T-Mobile sensation. I never debranded or anything like that.
What exactly do I need to do to return to stock as if I just bough it? I also noticed there are two TMOUS ruu files....which one do I use?
OK, lets begin
When you S-OFF'd the HBOOT changed to a newer one than your stock, TMOUS ROM. Because of this, you NEED Super CID to be able to go to a lower HBOOT. So that's why you need to change to it.
Once done, you can flash the stock 1.29.531.2 RUU. Once this has completed, you can change the CID back to the TMOUS one and then go back to S-ON and voila - one stock, ready to sell Sensation
Has any one got the Vodafone UK ROM please?
Cancel that. The download hasn't got that long left, so I'll just wait for it to finish.

Thanks....so how exactly would I do this super CID thing? lol
So basically...do super cid thing, flash stock RUU, then super cid again? Sorry, I've never really done much other than flash roms, so I don't know what this cid stuff is.
You should've really learnt all this before jumping in as you should always know how to get out of something before you go ahead with it.
The guide you followed to S-OFF has the Super CID procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
However, before changing it you need to make a note of your current one. To do so, you need to run the following fastboot command:
fastboot getvar cid
Once done, use the guide above to write the Super CID. This will allow you to flash the 1.29.531.2 RUU.
Then, using the same procedure as writing Super CID, write your old one back. Then follow the guide to get S-ON
Having said all that, you could just try flashing the 1.29.531.2 RUU and if it works then follow the guide to go back to S-ON - it may work
I have tried to change it to 111111... but the exe gives me the error nontheless. What do i change the CID TO?

I'm sure you've already figured it out since the thread hasn't been updated since a couple of months back, but here's the link to the thread with the answer if anyone gets here while searching for the right T-MOUS Stock CID for sensation:

be careful
if u updated firmware to ics be careful before flashing an ruu this messed up my phone
Sorry for bumping an old topic, this topic was helpful with what I needed. I need to return my phone to stock for a replacement. I completed all the steps but what can I double check to make sure I did it correct. I have stock rom and s on. My CID still shows "11111111". I was trying to get the OTA update to ICS but it won't let me download it so it worries me that I still am not completely stock.
hello.
i have sensation that is s-off and rooted.
now i want to unroot and i am confused.
i know that my phone came with 1.xx.401 firmware and i have same RUU.
now, do i really need to change to supercid?
RUU will remove revolutionary and CWM and i can do secureflag3 later, right?
i don't see the point in changig cids
thanx
The Super CID is needed to downgrade the HBOOT as Revolutionary changes it to a non-standard one. You can try it without Super CID but if it doesn't work then you'll need to use it. you can then change it back to your current one before running the S-ON command
i've done it without supercid with no problems!
my phone is now stock with s-on
thanx for help!
Wasn't sure if it would work or not, nice to know you don't need it for your own RUU
Bonjour everyone, here's a little guide on how to unbrand your phone in order to get the OTA updates notifications directly and be able to install them.
If you want to get S-OFF one day on your One SV, read this first. You need to change CID to SuperCID to do so, and it's not possible (for the moment) if you upgrade to JB
Basically this works as long as your phone model is sold unbranded somewhere in the world and that the people having such a phone got an OTA update.
For now, ther's no way to change CID if you're running JB and are S-ON. That means that this only work for One SV's running ICS who want to get the OTA updates.
As far as I know, it works on K2_U and K2_UL, since they both got an OTA update to JB.
The trick is simple, I didn't invent it and haven't been able to find its original founder, but thanks a lot to her or him !
I'm basically just a messenger here since I only tried out some stuff that worked with other phones, so thanks a lot to bkcokota, old.splatterhand and jmztaylor
Don't try it if you're worried, bricks happen, you'd be the only one responsible !
Here we go :
1. First you need to root your phone, here's how.
2. Change you CID using the same method than for the One S.
Personnaly, I changed it to "HTC__203", which is the CID unbranded HTC phones have in France (HTC-FRA).
For example, "HTC__001" is HTC-WWE, which stands for World Wide English.
You can change it to whatever CID you like : choose it well. I can only recommend to use HTC__203 since it's the only one I tried and that it worked, but do as you please !
3. Flash stock recovery back. You'll find it here or here. Flash it like you flashed CWM recovery (into fastboot, using fastboot flash recovery xxxxxx.img).
4. Relock your bootloader. It's possible that it's not necessary, but it can't hurt ("fastboot oem lock", when in fastboot usb)
5. Run a RUU that matches you unbranded CID to get an "unbranded" rom.
You'll find them here, for example. The "RUU_K2_UL_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.5_R....exe" one will work with HTC__203 and HTC__001 CIDs.
6. Go ask your phone if he can find any updates
WARNING : for the moment there's no way to change CID if you upgrade to JB since the newer HBOOT (v2.00) don't let you do it. That means that for now you won't be able to S-OFF if you upgrate to JB using this method. For now...
Nice one!
Only thing i would add for people to know:
if somebody want to get S-Off, they should change the CID to SuperCID 11111111 (or if you want 22222222,...).

Done, sir.
It was only said at the bottom of the message at first, but now I put it at the beginning as well.
There's one thing that I'm trying to get though : according to a lot of people and forums, you don't get OTA when you have SuperCID... but some poeple say they do.
It probably changes depending on the type of HTC phone, but also depending on the OTA (some got the first ones, but not the latest...).
I got the ota notification with SuperCID, i think it depends on more things.
But there i'm not far enough into it.
I have had no success at all. My story:
Updated a branded phone to JB, rooted. Then I did a moonshine S-off and changed CID to HTC__001 (even tried 11111111).
I have downloaded a ICS RUU (couldn't find stock K2_UL so I thought that I would download ICS first and then do OTA to JB) but I am getting error 158. I have checked md5 sum and it matches (http://androidfiles.org/ruu/getdown...0.14_2_10.49.40.11L_release_301902_signed.exe). Any ideas?
If you're on jb and hboot 2.00, that's normal... and written in the first post.
There is information that it is impossible to change CID while on JB and with 2.0 hboot, but I guess that I have had success in changing to superCID (at least this is what I can read in bootloader and using fastboot oem readcid command.
So, as far as I understand newer hboot won't let me use older RUU as well, right?
Is there any chance to make this for the k2cl ( boost mobile ) version?

To get it a bit clearer.
At this point i'm not very up to date, thats why i didn't answer til now.
I think (but i'm not sure) you can flash the ruu, if you are on hboot 1.0.
And as you are S-Off you should be able to downgrade hboot. But this is a very risky point, you can easily brick your device. Here is, how you have to do:

To change hboot you will need a PL80IMG.zip on sdcard with android-info.txt and hboot.img inside it.
reboot to bootloader and flash.

The thing what makes it difficult, is to get the hboot.img (its inside ics ruu), cause the htc ruu's encrypted and i only have heard about tools for linux which can decrypt it.
Thanks to your reply I did some research and I have managed to do what I wanted. I have downgraded hboot first (by extracting and encrypting ICS RUU using linux), then I could run RUU and now I am stock ICS with S-off and superCID
Should I post some files from RUU? 1.0 hboot or stock recovery? You guys need something?
Thanks for your helping hand old.splatterhand!

Glad, it worked for you.
Yes, of course, everything is appreciated! You can use this thread, please post ruu name too. You can look at my posts there. Hboot, boot.img, recovery, radio, would be fine.
HERE have other ruu

Wow, that's cool !
Did you use rollon's method and flashed PL80IMG.zip in bootloader mode ?
If yes, which android-info.txt did you use ?
If not, how did you do it ?

Did you get the ota update notification for JB then ?

Thanks and congratulations !
Hi everyone.
Just a quick message to confirm that rollon's method works.
To downgrade you need to be S-OFF, extract and decrypt (with ruuveal, using linux or a linux virtualbox runned in windows) hboot and androidinfo from ICS RUU, put them in a zip named PL80IMG.zip, put it on your sd card and boot into bootloader. Then you can run the ICS RUU normally and you'll be back to stock ICS, with a "*** LOCKED ***" bootloader (not relocked !), will be able to go back to S-ON using "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (thanks to JMZ)...
You'll then have a locked S-ON out of box phone running 100% stock ICS with original boot, recovery and all that... who'll get the 2 JB OTA's...
In case anyone's interested
Hey guys,
im pretty done at the moment.
I'm trying to get back to stock on my HTC Sensation and already spent like 3 hours to get it.
So, my current infos:

So, i downloaded equals roms from here: http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid (equals with the ARHD rom, i already tried others, but it still fails)
but i dont know what to do now.
When i relock bootloaded it fails, when im on ROM the itself it fails.
What should i do actually? i followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425
But i dont get it - do i really need s-off to go back to stock?
Isnt there an easier way to do it? im pretty done at the moment and simply want to have it stock, help me guys...

if your firmware is higher then the one which is in the ruu.exe then you can't downgrade while on S-ON
you need to S-OFF for downgrade
AFAIK with your cid there is no ruu.exe with the same firmware as yours or higher
what about if you try create a goldcard first..then you can flashing different RUU that are already had a higher firmware version than yours..?, like this RUU maybe..or else that are already had 3.33.xxx.xx firmware?
don't forget to relock your bootloader first too..
You could also attempt to downgrade your misc partition that would allow you to flash a lower RUU as long as the hboot inside was not a gingerbread downgrade I think.
