[Q] Problems updating my Sensation 4G

Hi! This is my first post.
I have a HTC Sensation 4G and I cannot update the firmware.
My CID PG5811000
and MID BM___001
I read the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21481563 And I got the same problem like the user AlphaX
But when I reboot my HTC to try to install I got a wrong MID message.
Any ideas?

Send HTC a mail with your problem to get a update any time.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

would HTC help people who unlock the phone by themself?
I have S-Off and installed Insert Coin 4.06 Android 4.0.1
I tried to get SuperCID and it doesn't change.
Any ideas?
BTW. I wrote to HTC giving my serial number, CID and MID.

When I turn on my phone into Fastboot mode I got the next information
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OO RL
HBOOT-1.23.0000
RADIO-10.12.9007.21_2M
eMMC-boot
So, the "LOCKED" at the beginning loks weird.
Each time I enter to fastboot, try to look for a PG58 file
I'm still looking at google (and falling on xda forums )
But any help will be welcomed

Hi,
You can add your CID to the Firmware.
Try this:
1. Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid and MID using fastboot getvar mid or fastboot getvar cid
2a. If your CID and MID are supported by default, navigate to point 3.
2b. If your CID or MID is not supported by default, do this: (you do it at your own risk)
2c. Open PG58IMG.zip (don't extract it)
2d. Open android-info.txt in text editor
2e. Add your cidnum: <your CID> or modelid: <your MID> to the list, save file and close archive
3. Place PG58IMG.zip on your SD card
4. Boot your device holding power button + vol down button
5. Follow instructions on the screen
I hope it works
"LOCKED" means:
You're locked out of some of the most advanced fastboot commands. But that's it.
You still have S-Off. ADB will still work. You can flash ROM's.

I got SuperCID!!!!
using fastboot I did it
./fastboot-mac oem writecid 11111111
Then I download the firmware from http://db.tt/EjYujYj7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618&page=96) and rebooting my HTC Sensation the update was successful!!!!
Now I hope to install new ROMs with ICS.

[Q] Problem on change cid

I want to install super cid but when I enter the command
"fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
I got this error
... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
I am s-off and unlock fastboot with htc dev
my hboot is 2.00.2002
Radio-3822.10.08.04_M
I change both hboot and radio but no change and cid didnt change.
i need it to install a RUU
I have problem of wifi with all ics rom and this is the solution to install the ruu and s-off and reinstall ics rom(Long story)
But the rom has difrent cid and i need super cid

hi good man.
I dont know exactly what is the use of Goldcard.
as u know Iwant to flash
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed
But the cid of the rom is diffrent from my phone.what is the solution.
Sorry for realy bad english.

@ayene
Follow this guide, I used ths command to get my memory card CID "cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid"
Or download the market app GoldCard Helper (already patched and reversed)
Note you may have to change your misc-version, but that depends on what you current misc-version is, but we'll cross that bridge if we come to it.

What is your current software version?
You can change your CID to HTC__001 and then flash unbranded 2.31 (the one you already have)

Did you relock your bootloader?

I had a similar problem with my orange branded one s but got it up and running by doing the following :
unlock bootloader
install twrp recovery
boot into recovery (must be in recovery not bootloader or adb shell will not work)
change orange cid to generic cid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911
flash stock recovery
relock bootloader
install latest european ruu
Hope this helps

I managed to change the CID to Super CID

What is error 155?

Error 155 gets when either your bootloader is locked or u r using the wrong RUU
If you updated to jelly bean , sense 4+ and then rooted your ONE S and then installed other roms like CM10, etc, you will get error 155 if you try to use any RUU. Thats because your hboot is updated when upgrading to sense 4+,JB.
Thus to revert back to stock....
1. get stock ICS Sense 4.1 ROM,
2. flash stock recovery.
3. Use OTA update to jelly bean,Sense 4+.
4. Factory reset your phone to remove any non-stock stuff from the ROM.
5. you have STOCK Sense 4+!!
6. then if you want you can relock boot loader .( but I havent tried it, might cause problem)

Your hboot won't be updated unless it's a ota or a ruu am I right eg I was on 4.04 then rooted and installed trickdroid but I am still on the hboot that came with 4.04 ruu.

Wipe everything.Should be able to flash CyanogenMod 10. After that, change back the CID to VODAP001 (mmcblk0p4 and build.prop).

Check the cid.. If it is supercid then SON command might not work
So change back to original cid of the phone
Then try SON
Another thing is.. The locked/unlocked status is available from 1.18 hboot only so it normal that 1.17 hboot doesn't show anything

there is a work around ..but for that you need to root your device again ..install busybox (ginger bread or ics both will do )
then give me the outputs of these terminal commands
(if using terminal emulator app from phone )inside shell:
su
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
and
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
also verify what the CID in this output
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6

terminal outputs

3. Download SuperOneClick from here = SuperOneClick
4. Run it and select ZergRush then click root
5. Once rooted open up a CMD and CD into your adb folder

Change CID From super CID back to a CID of your Choice
Welcome to my CID Guide.
This is NOT for SLCD DEVICES !!!!!
This guide will help you change your Super CID ( 11111111 ) back to its original eg: HTC__001.
Please use this guide ONLY if you understand what your doing. I take no responsibility for broken devices.
ENG Hboot can be flashed over by ANY Hboot Nexus One or Bravo. All Hboots have been repartitioned and are exact same sizes as Alpharev Hboots. This is because everyone is already used to these sizes but if you wish for a custom size please PM me and ill re partition for you and email you the Hboot. These Hboots have extended fastboot commands for changing CID and Backup CID
Now lets get to is shall we
1. Download The ENG Hboot located at the attachments section ( bottom of this post )
2. Flash the ENG Hboot with fastboot flash hboot ENG_Hboot_7.01.1111_Desire.img
3. Reboot your HTC Desire into Bootloader mode fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. now whilst still in Fastboot open up a CMD ( windows only ) and CD to your fastboot folder and type fastboot devices.
5. If your device was located now type fastboot oem changeCid xxxxxx ( replace xxxxxx with whatever your CID is find a list below )
5a. Please make sure when running the fastboot oem changeCid command you let it Finish DO NOT UNPLUG UNTILL IT HAS FINISHED.
6. Now on your device reboot back into bootloader and type fastboot getvar all and look for your new CID number
7. Now that you have changed your CID you can either stay on this Hboot or flash back to Desire Hboot.
If you wish to change your backup CID ( Somtimes this can be empty ( if backup was not created )
Run this in fastboot fastboot oem writebcid HTC__001 ( or whatever you want it to be ) [ Replace HTC__001 with your CID ]
Stock CID Numbers below:
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__E11
cidnum: HTC__203
cidnum: HTC__102
cidnum: HTC__405
cidnum: HTC__Y13
cidnum: HTC__A07
cidnum: HTC__304
cidnum: HTC__M27
cidnum: HTC__032
cidnum: HTC__016
cidnum: 11111111
These are the CID numbers i know. I know there is hundreds more and as i find out more and more ill add to the pile. Thanks
or you can use this XTC Clip firmware to gain super CID PB99diag.nbh can be downloaded below. Please get a EMPTY sdcard ( format it 1st ) place the PB99diag.nbh file on the root of the sdcard and reboot into bootloader and follow instructions to clean s58 data
Thanks for using my guide, All stuff used can be downloaded from the attachments below. including stock alpharev hboot.​

yes. but you can use ANY RUU you want. but MAKE SURE you run the RUU before you do this guide.

I posted this S-On long time ago. So it still working for everyone then?
But you've made a nice guide out of it.
How ever it only works for Wildfire, the other HTC's use a totally different MTD.

Super CID guide is now up on 2nd Post thanks
Guide is now up on 2nd Post thanks for all your support in the other thread
