CID - Carrier IDentification, it's restricts which software can be installed on a phone. SuperCID is a universal CID where the phone will accept any kind of firmware image from anyone.
SuperCID is necessary only for flashing RUU's from different regions. You don't need a SuperCID to flash a custom ROM's

I have an unlocked sensation Z710e...Do i need to install super CID to run an ICS rom ???

I would say it is recommended. I've read other people having trouble flashing the firmware update when they don't have it

With the latest leaked ics ruu that's made into a custom Rom yes you would need super cid in order to flash the firmware for the custom rom to boot properly and run.

Wow. If you want to be an ass, go to MoDaCo. It was a simple question. Could have been answered with more respect. After all, he did put it in the Q & A section in the forum...

You took my words mate..
Also, i wanted to ask that my gingerbread sense 3.5 Rom lags a bit as compared to sense 3.0 and batery life is also good in3.0 as compared to 3.5--Is not doing Super CID the reason ?

I dont think so, the performance of Sense 3.5 isnt very good, so its normal that its slower than Sense 3.0

I was not trying to be an ass. So if i hurt your feelings i am sorry. Your question though could easily be answered just by simply searching the forums. It would have benefited you because you would have learnt yourself and its less clutter on the forum.
Take this post for example. He wants answers to a problem that has a whole guide telling him how to do it. He just hasn't bothered to search.
Again sorry for coming across as an ass.
Just as an extra bit of info for you. I am currently supercid and running the new firmware. The touchscreen recovery looks really good and Mikes ARHD 6.0.0 is running really smooth on my phone. No lags or fcs to date.

Which roms are ok to install??

I have s-on with hboot 1.27 and ICS unlocked thru HTC dev site rooted and 4ext recovery I was just wondering how do I know which roms I can install I think the firmware has to be the same as mine which is 3.32.xx how do I know which ones have this firmware. I'm looking to try a sense 4 or plain aosp Rom any suggestions on which is good thanx for any help

Thanx I've been trying to figure that out all night I'm glad I can use Sense 4 is there something specific I have to do as far as flashing I'm on latest 4ext recovery
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

You could just follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
Then you'd have full S-OFF, then any ROM you like )
Here are some RUUs you could try, including 3.33. Depends if your CID is "HTC__001" or SuperCID I guess.

Enable smart flash (4EXT - tools) just before flashing the ROM.. That will mostly do..
If you have wifi issues/not booting.. Then do the extra1 step from asskickers Flashing roms with SON guide.
If the wifi still persists after that too.. Then re flash the rom again.. Without any wipe this time.. But need to enable smart flash this time too before flashing the rom..

All the custom ROMs OP will detail the pre-requisites r.e. firmware. Make sure you read them.
I would still advise you go get full S-OFF if you can, I've recently done it on 1.27.0000 and the paper clip hack was a little bit of a pain to get the timing right but it did work. It makes life much simpler. You could then, for example, downgrade if required
NOTE: currently HBOOT 1.29.0000 cannot be S-OFF'd so do it while you can.

Fair enough, if I'm wrong I'm sorry. I had read somewhere that 1.29.0000 had issues being S-OFF'd and 1.27.0000 was the most recent one that could. Guess the information I based my statement on was wrong.

S-on or S-off

I have an sensation and i am ***UNLOCKED*** HBOOT 1.27.0000 Pyramid S-ON
I have tried to flash new kernels. I reboot in recovery and flash without errors. But when started up i still have the same kernel.
Should i do S-off ? and how ? or what could be the problem ? I have been reading this forum, but my brain is overloaded now.
Any tips for me ? I am running Viper 1.2.1 but i get no wifi so i guess i have to change kernel and radio.....
Thanks...:

Thanks to all of you. This made it work WITH Sebastian kernel, and now is also wifi working on Viper 1.2.1 :good:

Glad my input helped happy flashing
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

I must say I'm very happy to be soff. I can flash different firmware and it makes flashing much easier. it's defiantly worth the process to achieve soff. You have more capability.
I'm very glad I did the procedure! I'd definitely vote for s off. It's well worth the " trouble"!

Maybe you will not lost S-off, but even if you lost it, you can repeat s-off steps as u did before.
But what I'm sure about you have to root it again and lost OTA update

[Q] Factory S-Off? Any issues with it?

Hi,
Well. Here's the think, I bought a Factory Unlocked OEM HTC Sensation z710e,
And It's s-off, and I've done nothing,
It's a full s-off or just HTC dev ?
Any recommendations?
Thanks,

It is full S-Off, some phones come that way. Enjoy your S-OFFed phone
Just flash a recovery via fastboot and you're good to go.

If it says s-off and bootloader unlocked then you are good to go pal if your bootloader is locked then flash the jupuntobear hboot or the universal 3.33 firmware so that your hboot is unlocked without HTC's warranty nonsense and readreadread before you flash
