[Q] Anyway to change the CID without ADBtools? - HTC Sensation

Dear All,
I just S-off and rooted a HTC Sensation 4G the cid when it was S-offed and rooted was cidnum: T-MOB010. I have as a newbie had wiped my original stock ROM but I do have a backup. From what i read from the forum adb tools require you to setup the phone in USB debugging and change to charging mode. Right now I do not have a ROM installed. My question is , is there anyway I can change the CID to superCID so i can install any ROM. I'm trying to find ROMs to work on my htc but still no luck. I was wondering whether if I superCID'd it then i would have a better chance. THanks!

Don't think you can. You must use ADB. Sorry

Can you suggest a ROM for me if possible so at least I can install it and then change the CID. I was looking over virtuousrom where there is support for t-mob010
Thanks in advance for the help!

I'm not sure what that is, I don't live in US but if you need a great rom, I can suggest a few.

Virtuous Inquisition is a great senseless rom, i've been using it for a few months. Smooth and all.
But if you are a sense lover, you can go for InsertCoin

You need to SuperCID via ADB tools.
You can run the ADB commends required even if you do not have a ROM installed as it uses fastboot.
You do NOT need to have SuperCID in order to install and use a Custom ROM.
What does your Bootloader screen say at the moment ? As in have you still got GB compatible Firmware or ICS compatible Firmware ?

As the person above me said, you don't need to boot your phone in order to supercid it. Do what is said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and skip steps 5,6,7.
And to install a rom, you don't need to supercid... just install the firmware it asks you to install and then, install the rom. I'd recommend ARHD 6.3.0, get the firmware package for your cid from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 (just be sure to take the 3.30 one) and follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471941
P.S. Any rom is compatible with your CID as long as you have the right firmware package I think. (Just wait for someone to confirm what I'm saying, because I'm not sure)

Any custom ROM will work with any CID, assuming compatible firmware and radio. You need the "appropriate" CID to install RUUs. For example when I first got the phone the first thing I did was to change the CID and install a generic European RUU to debrand it.
EDIT: compatible firmware relates to the HBOOT version and has no relevance to the CID itself. There are compatible firmware/radio combinations. The appropriate Radio is included with the ICS firmware packs.
Note: If you revert back to 1.17 HBOOT for GB ROMs you'll need to flash an appropriate Radio. There is a thread in the dev section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178143
The reason there are so many CIDs mentioned in the firmware thread, is that many CIDs seem to have popped up for the Sensation and many folks didn't SuperCID. The reason in that thread for so many installs for groups of CID versions of the firmware, is that there appears to be a limit on the number of characters in the section that checks the CID. ALL the firmware downloads are the same (for the same HBOOT version), they just do different CID checks. If you're SuperCID and of them will work. I hope the explanation isn't too convoluted.

Does anyone know that if I can change the CID of my sensation z710a with ADB WIFI as the usb port is not working?Thanks.

How is that supposed to help in debranding the phone??
ok
I installed leedroid, based on europe unbranded rom on my tmobile. i knew it before hand that would not debrand my phone, even then i did it.
i then tried to install ruu for the same version. got smae error 130 (not specific for device).
I noticed that installing leedroid did not update my baseband.(radio)
Maybe i'll try installing radio and see if it works.
Guys if anyone has any idea kindly help! we dont wana pay $30 for getting an ulock code, if it can be done on our own
S-off done
Clockworkmod
Perm Root
SuperCID installed
Update: Changed baseband as well did not work
Ok
I think the SuperCID posted in the DEV section is not working.
Because in the HTC desire Z section here, there is a post on how to debrand the phone.
and its pretty simple:
1-S off
2-CID Off
Flash any unbranded RUU from PC and good to go!
I have SuperCID installed but when i Flash RUU it give error 130 (Incoorect RUU for the Device).
So i guess SUper CID is not doing what its supposed to do
Here you go guys, I wrote up a guide in the dev section:

I prefer not changing cid, then I don't have to keep backup for warranty purposes. My method also doesn't require root.
Eng hboot is only temporary as it gets overwritten with shipped hboot when you flash the ROM from the ruu. Eng is only used to bypass cid check.

Returning to Stock few questions.

So I am returning to stock from this build:
ROM: CyanogenMod 9 RC1
FIRMWARE: 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x
Radio:/ 11.22.3504.07_M
Hboot: 1.27.1100
And I have a few questions because reading the guides just didn't help me:
1. I can't understand completely the name of the RUU's: RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.27.401.3_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192183_signed.exe
1.27.401.3 - is this HBOOT version?
10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15 - This is radio but why does it have 2 values?
192183- What is this?
2.
If you have S Off, this doesn't matter, but you should always try to flash the oldest RUU, so that it is easier to S Off later, unless you don't intend to perform S Off again.

I am S Off and I want to return my phone to S-on for warranty purposes then S-Off again so I must flash the oldest RUU right? If it is this is the situation how to determine the oldest RUU by HBOOT version?
3. Firmwares? What about them does the RUU overwrites the firmware should I downgrade firmware before flashing older RUU and can it be done? Is there such thing as firmware and RUU compatibility? If there is which firmware corresponds to which RUU, the firmwares have version that are not mentioned anywhere else?
4. Which RUU's I can flash and which I can't? I mean what should I look for to be suitable? Should I install RUU that has the same HBOOT version as mine or I can install older like I am ICS and I want to install GB RUU so I can S-Off easier latter?
So I am a little confused about downgrading and picking suitable versions of everything.
I decided to try without matching anything just downloading the RUU with the oldest hboot and flash it. It's RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.27.401.3_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192183_signed.exe and my device info is in the beggining of the thread. So in FASTBOOT i run .exe and I get

1. RUU naming convention
RUU_Pyramid_<an extra LE in the name if XE>_HTC_<country/cariier>_<rom main version>_Radio_<radio version>_release_<release version>_signed.exe
dont bother about release version ..we dont need that
the only concerns are ..
country/carrier -> which determines the cid
rom main version ->explains whether youy are on GB or ICS (lesser the version ..older it is ...only between same country/carrier RUU's)
radio version -> tells the radio
2.oldest RUU ..ive explained earlier ..the main version should be least ..but this comparison is only valid if the country/carrier matches
eg:
in case of
RUU_pyramid_tmous_1.52.xx
and
RUU_pyramid_europe_1.27.xx (you cant say which one is oldest)
3.no firmware questions when we are talking about RUU (firmware arises when you talk about custom roms)
RUU has everything ...it wipes everything and converts it to stock (RUU cant touch the SOFF and CID though ..they can be changed only manually ..i.e. by we doing it manually by commands)
4.which RUU ..is you decide by CID ...
if you are supercid ..and dont know the original cid
you need to select the RUU based on your country and carrier
there is an excellent guide on RUU and it explains everything
here is the link to it ...do read it
(it helps you in finding right RUU too )
RUU RELEATED INFO AND FLASHING GUIDE
also remember by flashing RUU ..you wont lose SOFF ...unless you change it manually ..to know how to change it please refer the above guide
also i believe this answer ..answers your second post questions too
Thanks a lot! But I still got the problem with error I mentionted in the 1st post (error 5001) I tried with 1.27 and 1.28 HTC-Pyramid-Europe. What should I do is flashing through safe mod possible.

im confused
did you mean you solved it ? or are you asking me how to bypass that error ?
anyways
you need to keep the phone connected to pc in bootloader/fastboot and then run the RUU.exe
Also ..if you did HTC-DEV unlock ..relock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock) and run the RUU.exe
I can't solve the problem. I connect it in bootloader/fastboot and try to run the RUU.exe. And I did revolutionary S-OFF.
Hey no idea that
error: -5001. Please make sure you have finished any previous setup and closed other applications.
is pretty annoying.
What is the CID currently on the phone ?
The RUU with xxx.401.xxxx IRC will require SuperCID (11111111) or a CID of HTC__001.
1.27... will end up installing HBOOT 1.17.0008 (just gone through the process on my replacement replacement phone.
As mentioned earlier you'll keep S-OFF and your existing CID after installing the RUU.
As far as the comms are concerned have you got the latest HTC drivers on the PC ?

I've recently run a few RUUs on my phone to get to a state where I could have a carrier backup, just in case (I forgot to get one immediately after S-OFF/custome recovery, doh). At no point did I re-lock the bootloader, I unlocked it (HBOOT 1.27.0000) and it's stayed unlocked the whole time, always worked perfectly. I also didn't have the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode, it was just on the home screen, again worked perfectly. I guess YMMV.
I am super CID.

regarding RUU running normally ..you should have usb debugging enabled ..and need to have proper drivers too to recognize the device ..
running from fastboot no hassle there.. (most 155 errors can be prevented from running from fastboot)
couple of people were thrown error 99 when they ran RUU with unlocked bootloader ..so relock is a safer bet to prevent that error too

How to downgrade HTC Sensation 4g from stock ICS to stock GB

I have HTC Sensation 4G and it was running stock GB but I have updated the software to stock ICS from "software updates".
I wish to downgrade ICS to stock GB as the phone was much faster on GB. I have GB RUU file but of course it won't work as it's not so easy to downgrade from higher to lower version of android os.
My phone has the follwoing:
----------------------------------------
Hboot 1.27.0000
Image firmware 3.32.841.15
Android 4.0.3
CID: Telst001
(I have found that the highest ics version for sensation 4g is 3.32.401.5) so I don't know how Telstra managed to make it 3.32.841.15. Maybe to make it harder for users to update via RUU files. Telstra is the phone carrier who sold the phone to me.
What I want is just to go back to stock GB, I don't want to root my phone and I don't want to S-OFF.
Everyone on net is only talking about rooting and S-OFF the phone but no clear answer or guide on how to Downgrade HTC Sensation 4g from Stock ICS to Stock GB.
Hope you can help me with that.
Thanks
Notes:
PS: I have tried to install almost every RUU_Pyramid version by normal windows installer (RUU.exe) and always stop with error (130) or via fast usb (PG58IMG.zip) with error "Model ID incorrect"!
I also would like someone to give 1 simple answer about this question:
If I S-OFF the phone, will i be able to install any compatible stock RUU version. I mean, i'm now on ICS and if I S-OFF the phone can i downgrade to GB without worrying about change Hboot version, rooting or messing too much with phone. Just run the RUU file and it will work without troubles?

S-Off isn't what will give you the ability to run any RUU.
Changing to the universal CID of 11111111 is what will let you do it.
Of course if you S-Off you can just install a custom recovery and flash any stock GB ROM you want and get to the same end result.

After s off u have two options
1 - change cid to super cid and flash any RUU
2 - find matching RUU for your cid and install
For installing RUU ,
Connect device to pc in fastboot mode and double click RUU , it will install

Here is the guide for getting S-Off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
and here is the thread with all the firmwares: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767&highlight=firmware
In order to run GB again you'll need to install the 1.17 Universal firmware (after having SuperCID and S-Off) using the instructions provided in that thread. However, I have no idea if it is possible to install an older firmware when you're on a newer one; you'll have to ask that in that thread. Finally, be careful and read all the instructions when you do these because gaining S-Off and (especially) installing different Hboots are very dangerous and can easily brick your phone if you do something wrong.

I did follow everything on the link you gave me.

* Revolutionary Utility didn't work with my phone because it doesn't support my Hboot version 1.27.0000 (So I can not get S-OFF with revolutionary).
* As per the guide, I can not have S-OFF with revolutionary, so I won't be able to get SuperCID, because to be able to run cmd command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" I must have S-OFF first. But even if I have SuperCID, that alone won't allow me to install GB
All what I need now is two things:
1- Changing misc version to lower version than what I have to be able to install older RUU
2- Having SuperCID to be able to install other region Radio or RUU version
Can anyone tell me how to change the misc version on HTC Senation and have Supercid?

in ics android there is only way to gain S-OFF and then supercid and it is with juopunutbear method which involves wire trick
see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
after that you can flash the GB RUU
Done
Yes, you were all right about using juopunutbear method. I can confirm it's the only way to get S-OFF on ICS 4.0.3. So I have followed juopunutbear method and I got S-OFF so easy without a problem, then I run "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" to get SuperCID.
After that I was able to downgrade from ICS to GB by running RUU.exe
Thanks to you all for your help.
threat to warranty?

[HOWTO] [HTC One SV] Unbrand your phone to get the OTA updates

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?

Boost has no official jb, but i know that there is work for an custom jb rom for boost.
Oh, thank you for the info. Is there any link about this work in progress?

old.splatterhand, you seem to know this and that about One SV. No chance for older RUU, right? I can't seem to find a clean WWE JB OTA update. I just want a clean, stock, not modified ROM from HTC and I thought RUU is the only way to go :crying: Any advices?

This was before moonshine was available. With S-Off i think it should be possible.

I think so.

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 ?

Even cooler for you.
Did you get the ota update notification for JB then ?
Did you manage to apply it ?
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

[Q] Juopunutbear HBOOT 1.27 Stock RUU

Hello guys. I'm new in this "world" and I need some help.
I have unlocked the bootloader using HTC Dev, I'm also root and I have 4EXT recovery.
I want to be S-off to be SuperCID, install firmware 3.33 universal and then install ROMs without problems.
The webpage of Juopunutbear says that I needd to have a stock RUU and no other ROMs are supported. I have Android 4.0.3 official, it was updated by the phone (I haven't changed anything, for now hehe). Can I use Juopunutbear? Is my Android a stock RUU? If not, how can I use Juopunutbear? I've been looking for Stock RUU but I haven't found any version equals or bigger than my build number (3.32). My sensation is a Vodafone Spanish phone.
Thank you!!!
