I want to S-ON my sensation to return for an exchange. What i don't understand is the adb fastboot oem writecid 11111111 command being used to put s-on back. Current Tmobile usa CID is T-MOB010. Can someone explain to me why i need to use the 11111111 instead of the tmobile T-MOB010?
Will it really make the CID 11111111?
You are right to be confused.
I don't know why you would want to SuperCID your phone if you have the correct RUU and CID for your device, the guides have made a mistake here.
I assume it is for people who don't know what RUU they should use for their phone, and/or have SuperCID'ed their phone and not bothered to write down their stock CID. That is there fault in a way, they should really take note of their stock CID for warranty purposes. But then it is risky for them to send in their phones or warranty repair because they could have installed the wrong RUU for their device, and in addition if the HTC engineers somehow check the CID to find it is 11111111 then they know the phone has been tampered with. But thats only if HTC bother to check all this, and even so they might not care. But it still is risky.
Anyway you know which RUU to use, and you have your Stock CID. You don't need to take any risks. You can properly return your phone back to stock.
Go ahead and use it.
fastboot oem writecid T-MOB010
Install the RUU AFTER you return to your stock CID. That way you cannot accidently install the wrong RUU.
Just so you know, 11111111 is SuperCID, this allows you to install any signed RUU without regional restrictions. You don't need or want this if you want to return your phone to stock.

Exactly why i am asking. If they run diagnostics and see 11111111 they would know it has been tampered with.
So to understand you correctly. I should follow the instruction....
instead of 11111111 i should
fastboot oem writecid T-MOB010
then run the RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed
Is this correct.
Yup that'll work, but remember, you will still need to preform the procedure to get your device back to S-ON, or changing the cid won't make one bit of difference as far as warranty replacement.

Yup
Just remember, simply flashing the ruu will NOT revert you to S-ON. You will have a stock S-OFF device.

So after all that procedure the last step to get s-ON is:
Type in ADB "adb reboot-bootloader" and then Type in ADB "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and Type "fastboot reboot-bootloader"
correct?

Fixed My S-ON Thread
UPDATE: Apparently it is only possible to change the CID with S-ON if your current CID is SuperCID.
*issue closed*
I had used Revolutionary to de-brand my phone. First S-OFF, then SuperCID, then a stock unbranded ROM, then back to S-ON.
I wasn't getting the OTA to 2.3.4 here in The Netherlands, so I changed my CID to HTC__E11, which is the CID for an unbranded Sensation in The Netherlands. Lo and behold, I got the OTA immediately.
Interesting to note, I was able to change the CID using "fastboot oem writecid HTC__E11" with S-ON. Someone else was able to do exactly the same thing so it's confirmed to work.
Now that I have upgraded to 2.3.4 and have my CID set to HTC__E11, this no longer works for me. However I'm wondering if it *does* work for people still on 2.3.3, or if it only worked for me because I was already SuperCID. I wonder if others who are still on 2.3.3 are able to use "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" with S-ON (i.e. without using Revolutionary).
So, using adb tools on a stock ROM:
NOTE: If you test this you do so at your own risk.
0. download and unzip adb tools to a folder. make sure HTC Sync is not running (uninstall, or just exit/kill the application).
1. open command prompt and "cd" your adb folder
2. ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (ensure usb debugging is on settings).
3. enter the command "adb devices". This is to confirm your phone is connected. (It should come back with list of devices attached and your serial number)
4. enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader". (nothing further required device WILL reboot in bootloader)
5. enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
6. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)
7. enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]
8. enter the command "fastboot reboot"
9. you should now be able to flash any stock ROM you like.
NOTE: Please DO NOT change your CID to HTC__E11 unless you are in The Netherlands. HTC__E11 is the CID for an unbranded Sensation in The Netherlands. If you are in a different country, check for the appropriate CID here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195475&page=3.
I've already de-branded my phone, but I wonder if others are able to using "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" without using Revolutionary.

No, that tutorial uses Revolutionary first to go from S-ON to S-OFF before changing the CID. I was able to change my CID with S-ON.
so I'm changing my cid to 11111111?
not HTC__E11?

11111111 is the SuperCID. HTC__E11 is the CID for unbranded Sensations in The Netherlands. If you don't use the SuperCID, you may want to refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195475&page=3 for a list of CIDs.
I changed to the SuperCID using Revolutionary to first get S-OFF. Then I set S-ON. But even with S-ON, I was still able to change my CID (I changed it to HTC__E11 in order to receive the OTA to 2.3.4.).
So what I'm wondering is if people with 2.3.3 and S-ON are able to change their CID to the SuperCID 11111111, without first using Revolutionary to change to S-OFF.
Ok, I must have misunderstood your question. It seems as if you have clarified your question since your original post. I just thought you were asking if one could write the CID without Revolutionary. My bad. FYI, I have not tried what you are asking.

A statement like this, though, I don't really understand. Two questions come to mind: 1) How did you set S-ON? and 2) Were you able to confirm that you wrote a new CID with S-ON, or did you just not get an error message?

I set S-ON using the instructions on how to set S-ON here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and I confirmed it during reboot, the text "S-ON" was back on the boot screen.
I wrote the new CID with S-ON, then confirmed it by rebooting and running the command "fastboot getvar cid", which gave me the phone's CID, which indeed was the new CID I'd written. In addition, with the new CID (unbranded Dutch, instead of SuperCID), I immediately got the OTA to 2.3.4.
Someone need to test this with a stock phone!
Or try to set secureflag to 1 maybe its not really changed ...

What's your problem, can't you read? I wrote already, the phone reports "S-ON" in the boot screen, and after a reboot, it still reports the new CID, and after setting the new CID, I got the Netherlands OTA immediately.
I tried it with stock s-on phone and it doesn't work.
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot oem writecid 11111111
...
(bootloader) pyramid_init_sd, SD card already power on
(bootloader) sdcc_init_memory_device done
(bootloader) [FAT_ERROR] fat_open_file: can not find SMART_IO.CRD
(bootloader) [JAVACARD_ERR] SMART_IO.CRD cann't find
OKAY [ 0.172s]
finished. total time: 0.172s
It still reports same cid.

Thanks for testing this - just to confirm, you tested with 2.3.3 and not 2.3.4, right?
If so, then it seems to imply that you can change the CID even with S-ON but only if you currently have SuperCID.
Then I have no idea. I would not think one could write a new CID with S-ON, regardless of the ROM. However, you have tried it and claim it works, so someone with more knowledge will have to explain why...lol
I notice in the tutorial it says "secureflag 3," which at least gives you S-ON displayed, and perhaps does set the security back on. I wonder what 0,1,and 2 do, though. Is it 0,1,2, or 3 on stock phone with S-ON?

Yes, tested on stock s-on phone and stock 2.3.3 rom. 2.3.4 Ota update is still not available here.
well i do also have s-on and managed to change cid to HTC__E11 with adb and also like the OP can't seem to change it back to what it was (stock sensation with 1.50...rom) does the cid mathers in terms of warranty and ota updates??? (i'm in the netherlands)
regards
edit:well OTA updates do work on my side but still no luck changing the CID again.
nobody here that can decifer this one??
I have a sendation xe with hboot 1.18 and s-on.
I used the commands to change CID from HTC__038 to HTC__001.
I still don't receive the OTA update on my phone though.
The phone was bought from Hong Kong but from using the CID Getter app it shows CID at the top as HTC__001 now but when you scroll through the data there are still reference to it being an indian phone.
I am looking to change it to stock Euro gingerbread with CID 001 so that I can receive the OTA ICS update.
I can't use revolutionary to change to S-OFF as always fails. I can't install the RUU for euro GB as it gives an error when I try to run it.
Not having any joy asking people for help so far either.
Back when i first got my phone i did the supercid mod on my phone, everytime i flash a rom i have to do other things just because of it (larger mms, install wifi calling patch etc etc) my girlfriends sensation on the other hand is NOT supercid and she never has to do any of the additional patches i have to do.
So is there any way i can reverse the supercid mod on my phone?
Super CID has nothing to do with patch flashing, but if you want to return to stock cid just fallow the steps to get the super cid and replace "11111111" with your original cid.
If your phone was unbranded your cid should be "HTC__001"

That is wrong. If you use that, i'll only show the CURRENT CID of the phone, which would be superCID in this case.
There's a CID database somewhere in the development section. Search for it. It has a comprehensive list of CIDs with your carriers name.

Oh well I'm sorry but last time I did this it gave me my original and I know this because I have changed it to SuperCID and last night infact I was playing with the adb commands and it gave me my original CID unless of course it has gone back to the original which in that case i am really sorry for being a noob to the android xda community (but im only 17)
If you are on T-Mobile US, then the CID is T-MOB010.

engineering bootloader with security off..basically meaning you have read/write permissions for the system and can flash a custom rom..Since you changed your CID, you also should be S-OFF.
However, I don't think you fully understand what CID does, b/c I don't see how this would cause the issues your having. Super CID allows for you to flash a STOCK rom from another carrier, so you could flash an unbranded Sensation RUU or a TMo-US S4G RUU, or whatever, through bootloader. It allows to "debrand" your phone, meaning you're not stuck to your carrier specific rom. This is different than flashing a custom rom thru recovery, which your CID doesn't matter, bc custom roms are not carrier specific roms..
CID is basically just a variable that tells the RUU what carrier your phone is from and what rom can be flashed on it.
Now, to get your CID back to stock, do the following:
Connect to ADB, run "adb reboot-bootloader"
Then enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111", except put your carriers CID in place. If you do not know your CID, refer to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195475
Then run "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and then "fastboot getvar cid" to verify it successfully changed.
Hope that cleared things up some.

No it will not..CID is basically just a variable, you need to have S-OFF to change it, but changing it won't effect S-OFF or SIM unlock..

First of all, thank you very much for your response, I really didn't know exactly what it was till you explained it, THe reason i want to revert back to stock is simply because there are certain things that never seem to work on my phone that always work perfectly on my girlfriends phone, first one being WIFI(never gets installed and second being small mms pics, the ONLY difference between her and my phone is that i am superCID and she is not, i can get the patches and fix it but i don't really need supercid now that i understand it.
Seriously though, thank you!
No problem at all, glad to help! Hope you get things figured out..
Hi,
If I check in fastboot I get CID 11111111 which I set myself during the setup of a custom ROM.
If I check with CID Getter application I get HTC__E11 my original CID.
Which one should I trust?
Also, anybody know if having a super CID would void the warranty? have to return my phone for repair so cleaning it up. All is different now is the CID.
Thanks a lot for your help!

I would trust the one that you get it fastboot as the one you get from CID getter is the one that is in the build.prop of your ROM.
S-OFFing would void your warranty. You need S-OFF to set SuperCID so there. Connect the dots
thanks!
Guess that's a typo and you meant S-OFF voids the warranty. You are right, if I can connect the dots they can do it as well would they check the CID
Need to find a way to change the CID back. Does not allow me to S-off now with revolutionary coz I think I use a too recent RUU (saw some related threads). Will try with an older RUU version.

I think you can just write CID just like how you SuperCID'd but writing proper CID instead of 11111111. I haven't done it myself so I can't help you there.

yep, already got it working.
I guess in my case the writecid was not working because I was back to S-ON and no root anymore
So, I flashed again the 1.50.401.1 ROM WITHOUT accepting the update, S-off, root, change the CID, flash the 1.50.401.1 again, change back to S-ON with the writesecureflag 3. Device can go now to repair.

[GUIDE]RUU related info (S-On with RUU, extracting rom.zip & manual flashing, etc)

I'm sorry, I was editing my signature, something must have gone wrong.
It's fine now.
You did not need to unlock your bootloader.
Plus, if you're only interested in your stock RUU, you should be able to just change cid in android-info.txt. Might be wrong
how to use android-info.txt, or even make my mobile with supercid 11111111
I try many ways not work,,
I still s-on and i interest with official ruu for middle east and as i see the version is 3.415,, and my version is 3.405
so what's the best way to install this ruu without troubles as i tried many ways
Run your RUU. When it loads, check your temp folder for the zip file. Modify android-info.txt in the zip with your cid. Either modify the existing zip and continue with the RUU update, or rename the zip to PG58IMG.zip, place on root, and boot into bootloader.
renaming and put on sdcard i already tried but i will try editing cid and see if possible..
i will do factory reset first maybe better..
thanks alot

Man.. In my guide I already told you if you have htc dev unlocked bootloader please follow the guide by auggie2k.. Buy you still followed mine.. That's the issue soff didnt worked
Also you said you want to install middle east RUU.. That is easily possible in your case
First get the cid of middle east from those thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195475
It it HTC__J15 I think (Arabic one)
Then change the cid
Connect them phone in fastboot and then to pc.. Then open command prompt from there adb folder on pc
Then type this
fastboot oem writecid <your cid >
(you'll lose the supercid though)
Now just reboot to bootloader again
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then from this fastboot mode itself
Relock the bootloader
fastboot oem lock
Then run the RUU.exe on pc
(phone should be in fastboot)
Ps: changing the cid in android-info.txt won't help you as you are SON

OK, so there is a signature check that prevents you from simply changing the cid in the android-info? Or does is the cid defined somewhere else?
Being supercid, you should be able to flash any ruu you want, assuming it's not a downgrade I thought. Or does that still only apply for s-off?

S On implies that you cannot fire fastboot oem commands as well, right? how will he writecid? :/
I meant if he changed the cid in android-info to his native cid, then he should be able to flash it while s-on?

Mate, if the android-info.txt is changed, the rom.zip will change. This implies signature check will fail due to modified file size. :/

I try this at all before from the guide but my cid not change at all
i have already HTC__J15 but also the RUU of arabic dosen't install with two ways
(1- copy in the sdcard and hboot)
(2- directly setup in windows with or without edit android-txt to my cid)
I think s-off is the best way but i try also many time with JB but no way
maybe there's other wrong but i still not discover it..
Is there any other tool for S-off as my version 1.29!?
Thank you friend ,, it's really appreciate that all people here is kindly helping

Yes, I too think S Off is best for you, but it's best if you wait for ganeshp to reply, as he is the most experienced of us..

Yes technically that should be the case.. But apparently there is a hole in HTC bootloader.. Which makes it change the cid.. (happens only on 1.2x hboots only though)
Edit: What cid change didnt worked?
We tried it on two guys one having unlocked bootloader and other having looked bootloader.. For both of them it worked fine.
Have you tried checking the cid after changing it?
First change cid using
fastboot oem writecid <your cid >
(it says failed but after rebooting the bootloader using "fastboot reboot-bootloader" if you check for cid again using "fastboot getvar cid" it should show you the new cid)
If the above was success then just Run the Arabic ruu...
Otherwise soff is not really required for you as you are htc dev unlocked
Just install the asanic custom rom by darkmantra if you just want support for Arabic language..
For installing custom roms while SON. Please follow the guide "flashing rom's with SON" by asskicker2 present in sensation general section
If you insist on getting that Arabic RUU.. Then soff is the only way for you..
Please follow the " guide to soff using Juopunutbear " by auggie2k which is also present in sensation general section
