CID - 11111111
I want to unlock my bootloader via HTCDev as i like knowing i have access to Fastboot commands if needed, but what i'm wondering, before i do this, is will it send me back to Stock CID and S-Off, or will everything be left as it is whilst just unlocking my bootloader?
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but i've had a look about and not come accross my answer.
Thanks!
It is unlocked, its just saiz locked. A common problem

Hi,
It will unlock everything for you.
But HTC will then have a record of what you have done,and this will give you warranty problems,should they ever arise.
Thanks for the help guys!
Much appriciated. I've gone as far as getting my unlock code sent to e-mail, but i've not actually flashed it yet as i was rather unsure.

Hi,
It's locked to advanced fastboot,like installing radio.
Basic fastboot like get cid is still available.
Malybru, thats pretty much why i'd want it unlocked - I'm so used to flashing radio etc via Fastboot. I know you can do it via HBoot with PG58IMG, but i've been doing it via Fastboot with my Streak, Desire HD etc and just find it easier doing it like that.

Hi,
I know what you are saying.
But you will invalidate your warranty by doing anything from HTCDEV...
EDIT:
You can always return to 1.17 HERE
this what throws me off alot, unlocking the Bootloader gives us fastboot commands, which i dont want to lose, once you have done the Revolutionary you get s-off which takes security off to flash radio etc, once we update the hboot, it says locked but its truly not, and it still says s-off so once we do the unlock from htcdev we still have s-off so fastbooting flash radio should still work since that security is still off
i searched and asked there is no real answer as everyone jus shrugs and says use the PD58IMG to do things then the thread dies or OP says ok that will be fine
and it will not fully void your warranty if its any type hardware issue, it only voids software side, as say you did a bad flash and bricked it, if they recovery it and see you are unlocked then yes its voided, but if the digitizer not responsive, power button stuck, backlight died, whatever that is still coverd
I know i could return to 1.17, but would that mess up the fact i'm running RCMix ICE 4.0.3? I'm no desperate for the Fastboot commands, but just knowing i have access to them is a weight off my mind.
I've never needed to use my HTC warranty, but loosing access to it is putting me off a little. I think i'll lay off unlocking for a while.

Oh dear, locked does not mean only basic fastboot. The hboot version determines the basic fastboot. 1.17 has advanced fastboot but none others do

If you've gone as far as getting the unlock code emailed across then go for it.
I unlocked mine with HTCDev first, now i have hboot 1.23 unlocked and s-off..
It's not going to clear my S-Off or Super CID i take it then?
Thats the only main reason i've been holdinf off doing it, the warranty is a downside, but it's not a huge thing. I bought the phone second hand, so i've no idea who it was first registered to anyway.
I can't answer that one i'm afraid as I did it the other way around, HTC first, then revolutionary.
TBH i'm not sure what the difference is between having an unlocked bootloader and S-Off, or whether they are one and the same. When I did the HTC unlock it said it had been successful but still said S-Off in HBoot so i used the revolutionary method as a follow up.
In retrospect I think the HTC unlock did work, at least in part, because i've flashed the most recent ruu (complete phone image direct from HTC) and have both 'unlocked' at the top and 's-off' showing in hboot. most if not all users who have not done the HTC unlock end up with a 'locked' 's-off' combination.
this doesn't really help with your dilemma unfortunately but i'm sure somone with a definitive answer will be along...
I just went ahead and did it... when the screen appeared asking if i wanted to unlock, i vol upped to Yes and pressed Power. Nothing happened, tried again, nothing happened. Pressed Power on NO my phone restarted.
Went back into Hboot, now says *** Unlocked ***, Ship S-OFF RL, and Supercid says 11111111, so all went well it seems, Only odd thing is, my rom seemed to factory reset, and the RCMix ICE splash screen has changed to the stock Android Spash Screen. All seems ok though, still rooted, etc?
Sounds promising. It's a bit of a steep learning curve at first for sure and not all of the guides and info are in plain english. Still, all's well that ends well.
All seems fine. Reading on HTCDev.com, it does factory reset your Rom and Settings, so i decided to just reflash RCMix Ice and all is well and good now.

Hi, ive just got a phone off ebay and trying to s-off it.
Problem is that when i go into the hboot it says:
**LOCKED**
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
Revolutionary tool says invaild key when i run it.
Any ideas how i can get S-OFF? Maybe the guy who had it before me has made it S-ON again to sell it? Any help would be much appreciated!
I just S-offed last week, and i am a complete noob when it comes to this stuff...i also was getting the invalid key. I did a SEARCH (lol) here and found out that the letters i was typing were wrong.
My solution: copy and paste the revolutionary beta key into notepad, then type the keys in notepad to confirm you are typing the correct letters
I found out that the "I" is actually a lower case "L"
Which hboot version? Anything over 1.18.0000 isn't supported
Sent from my HTC Sensation with Beats Audio using xda premium
I read that this could be the after-math of someone unlocking through htc dev and not doing it correctly. So I have to back track to go forward.
It's not got ICS yet, still running GB. There is a system update waiting but I want to root first before any update.
Hboot 1.18.000
I did try the copy and paste. The one major issue here is that on the hboot screen it says **LOCKED** at the top shortly followed by S-ON which tells me that somethings very different.
1.18 has a "locked" status on top. That's normal. Revolutionary is compatible with 1.18, but it's possible that it was rooted with htcdev...
There is no "unlocked" 1.18 hboot. That's why rev will downgrade you to 1.17.
I'm running 1.18 with s-off by use of revolutionary and then reflashing the 1.18 hboot I extracted from 1.50.531.1ruu. It shows "locked" at the top as it did to begin with...
Maybe try flashing the ruu and trying revolutionary again...

Unlock bootloader, S-Off and rooting are 3 different things.
HtcDev unlock bootloader but it doesn't neither s-off nor root the device.
To prevent "headhaches" is better follow these steps:
1) Unlock bootloader through HtcDev (then it will show **unlocked** on top but still S-On with 1.18 Hboot)
2) S-Off by revolutionary (don't remember if it downgrade Hboot to 1.17 but I think it does).
3) Install a custom recovery.
4) Root the device
Hope it helps.
COMPLETELY ignore the advice to unlocking on HTCDev - you're letting HTC know you're rooting your phone. ONLY use Revolutionary to get true S-OFF
To the OP: HBOOT 1.18.0000 WILL say Locked at the top. This is 100% normal and HTC brought it in with the 1.18.0000 HBOOT. S-ON is also normal so what you're looking at is designed that way and is how my phone arrived when I first got it
I think you should try get the beta key back or make sure paste it to get correct keys. I think the ***Locked*** won't be problem. Revolutionary will unlocked it. If you got error during root process you may want try Taco Root method during Revolutionary process.
Thanks for your help guys!
It was a very stupid mistake on my part not copying the key from revolutionary over correctly. I was entering O's instead of 0's (zeros). Notepad was the saving grace after 3 hours of reading that showed me the correct key and stopped me from trying other methods and maybe screwing up the process.
I'd never seen a **Locked** with S-ON hboot screen before and not knowing what a person has done before you on a phone when buying off ebay can lead you into unknown territory.
S-Offed and running some Sense 4 now. Beautiful! The wife is pleased! Wouldn't mind some Sense 4 on my Gnex now - Never thought i'd say that!
Thanks all for your help!

Hello everybody, i've a big question for you I got an HTC One S with cid TIM__041, still locked. The installed ROM is the stock customized by my operator TIM, that's crappy without any updates, and i want to put the europe stock rom changing the cid to HTC__001 if it's needed. But i don't want to void my warranty. The device is OK, it has no problems.
How can I resolve this? Sorry for my bad english, but i'm an young italian

That was only 2½ hours later, in which the USA is mostly asleep. Patience young grasshopper ..ehmm.. I mean Italian.
EDIT: I missed the AM/PM. It was 14.5 hrs like frdd correctly corrected in the post below this one. Sorry for that.
I'm not 200% sure but I don't think you can change your CID without unlocking your bootloader. Unlocking your bootloader will not completely void your warranty. It will still cover unrelated defects. Also, you can always re-lock and go back to stock afterwards, but only if you have a RUU for your phone that accepts your new HBOOT (that comes with the EU RUU).
If the 'problem' is that you want to tinker with your device but not take responsibility, then there is no solution.
-Jobo
Try 14.5 hours but yeah jobo is correct you need htcdev unlock to root and change cid
So, if I unlock the bootloader, the warranty for hardware problems will not voided? I need only to get the european stock rom, what's the best way to get it? However, i don't think putting european stock rom will void the warranty :/
Thanks for answering my topic But when I maked the topic, in USA was day. xD
Me too, though I am on T-MOB005 CID. And I don't want to exactly root my phone. So until we get S-OFF, there is no way. Just have to wait and be patient, like me. (I'm still on 1.77 and 2.21 has already been released)

me too, i'm at 1.78, and i still didn't get 2.21 update i need it for wifi problems.
So, are there no other way?
You can try to just run the 2.21.401 RUU but probably won't work.
Or you can wait for TIM to release the OTA if you're only after the new radio, your branding will still be there.
You need root to change cid, and you need htcdev unlock to root. No other way yet.
Hm..are there some news about s-off?

I decided, and now I got 2.21.401.10 :laugh:
I follow this steps: (thanks addsfsds)
1. Unlock, install recovery mod, root --> HOW-TO
2. Changed CID to generic (HTC__001) --> HOW-TO
3. Relocked bootloader (It's important!) --> Command: "fastboot oem lock"
4. Installed 2.21 HTC Europe RUU (includes stock recovery + stock rom) --> DOWNLOAD
5. I'm free!
You guys are saying you don't want to change your CID until S-Off is out because you don't want to unlock bootloader... Even if S-Off is out, you still have to unlock your bootloader to change CID *facepalm*
So I needed the best choice, because I need europe stock rom now.

Don't facepalm without knowing. We don't want to unlock the bootloader now because once we get S-OFF, we can S-ON back again with no traces of being S-OFF'ed. However, with HTCDev, it says ***RELOCKED*** which is a clear indication that the device has had its bootloader unlocked before. Some of use don't like to void our warranties, which is why we're waiting for S-OFF.
My friend and I are having problems unlocking his HTC One X. we've tried various tutorials and followed many threads but have had no luck. We've tried the One_X_ATT_All_In_Kit_v2.1.1, Root-one-x and OneXRootOneClick with no luck. The bootloader will not unlock, we kept getting an error code 160 and MID not allowed. So no Unlock_Bin was generated. It has been upgraded to 4.1 via the AT&T update.

I believe, via the all in one toolkit, we were able to get the CID to change to 111111, but only after a few tries. I'll have to check back with him if it indeed did change.
So what you guys are saying, is unless somebody finds a way to crack JB, there is no way to unlock the bootloader/root?
Is it not possible to run the RUU that would place him back to the android and hboot he had before? (Don't know if it was ICS or what it was)

Can't run a ruu for older firmware without s-off.
But if you actually achieved supercid, you should be able to unlock, root, and s-off.
Are you positive about that? Because I was able to run an older RUU on my HTC Evo 3d, and got the phone to an older firmware without S-Off..
We'll have to check for sure on the CID and report back when we can.

Sorry for my bad english but il try to be precise as i can. I bought my htc on ebay it says new and it feels new. But after i read may treads here it seems its not new . I have problems with automatic software update it freezes on 20% then it reboots after few minutes, if i regard this problem the phone works fine. But im fustrated i want new software . Now i got in boot loader in this is what it says:

recommend and maybe can i install viper xl
Thanks
The phone definitely isn't new. You have SuperCID (11111111) and s-off which means it has been unlocked at some point. But the good news is you can easily unlock the bootloader at htcdev, then install a custom recovery, and then install Viper if you wish.

The phone is s-off, does the OP even need to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP, flash ROM, etc.?
You typically won't receive OTAs for AT&T phones outside of North America. So that is probably why the update is failing.
