Hello,
How can I check region of software or product code like samsung, CDA in SE, I use HTC first time and I don't know how it names in HTC
3rd part of software version is region or maybe carrier, for example current unbranded EU is 1.78.401.2 while T-mobile USA is 1.84.531.2.
EU: 401 TMobile USA:531.
Please correct me if Im wrong here!
Check out the shipped ROM thread in development section maybe you can figure more out from the filenames of the RUU's there.
I have 1.78.401.2, but onle soft is for all Europe?
other comapny have diffrent sw for other coutry.
Each Htc Phone has its own CID. Unbranded Euro for One S is [HTC_001]
If You need to detect what is Your Cid You can use CID getter from market.
I have just downloaded and checked and I have HTC_102, HTC-GER, I would like to change to Poland CID, HTC_B25, do you know any easy way for it?
I found one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674202
and it needs root, but I wouldn't like to root my phone.
Sorry You have to unlock bootloader first. As far as I know its only one way to change CID. If You dont want to do this better stay with morelocale2
unlock bootloader is enought or I need root too?
I have used morelocate2, but I think that it dosen't translate all

I know there are several threads like this one but I prefer not to write another RUU request while you're answering to another user
So, I got a HTC One S S3 yesterday... I began to unlock it because I wanted to change its CID. I found that in the S3 version the CID can't be changed (still) when I had already installed the TWRP Recovery.
Now I'd like to go back to stock, but there is not a RUU compatible with my device: It has VODAP102 as CID, but the RUU for Vodafone AT here doesn't work. I found the kernel source for the same software version I have in htcdev.com, my question is: is it possible to build a RUU or at least a boot.img from it?
The sources can be found in htcdev /devcenter/downloads (sorry but being new I can't post direct links!), HTC One S as Device, Vodafone as Carrier and UK -
1.11.161.133 as software version. Actually I am in Italy, but the software and kernel version are exactly the same.
Thank you in advance.
Bump to first page and a little addendum:
I've read again all the possibilities I have with this phone, and if I have understood accurately then I'm forced to go back to stock, roms like the ThickDroid seem to require a non-branded CID, but that's the point... it is the CID that's compelling me to maintain this original Vodafone software, otherwise I would have already installed the HTC "basic" rom.
Am I missing something?
Thank you again!
Have you tried looking on HTCRUU.COM?
Check your radio id on the bootloader screen then flash the appropriate ROM

Yes I checked, but they have just unbranded RUUs, here in the forum there's one RUU for Vodafone but the region isn't the same as mine.
I've read that it is possible to flash an OTA update deleting the string that checks the CID - I'll have to take a look about that (moreover, it seems very difficult to find .zip OTA updates for this phone...).
Nevertheless I'd like to find this RUU update too - it is an important option too. So... bump to first page.
Hello guys,
Since 2,5 weeks now I have my One S and i love it! I have it S-OFF'ed and all the other goodies there are available for the HOS, I don't like limitations :laugh:
But I'am searching for the correct RUU to have it on my computer already in case something happens to the phone and I need to send it to HTC. It came brand new with Hboot 1.06 wich still is on it. The CID was HTC_E11 before I set it to SuperCID. Now come's the weird thing, the radio is 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L.
When I looked over here: http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Ville to find the correct RUU, the one with the matching radio is an T-Mobile US version, while the phone is a non branded european one? Wich is actually correct as I live in Europe and the CID was HTC_E11.
Is that RUU correct? It seems to be the only one with the correct radio?
PS: Sorry for the bad english

when did you check it?
if you checked after install of rom (i presume cm10.1)--> cm comes with that radio. so thats why. just upgrade it to a eu one.
check it in bootloader status, it will still show the previous radio (wich was original there), while in rom you see a different one.
if its a dutch unbranded device
use this ruu http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe
or this one and do a ota (not on supercid) http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...02.31_10.09a.50.04L_release_275655_signed.exe
Yes in CM10.1! I didn't know that CM flashed that radio. Normally it's just the rom and that's it....
It indeed is a Dutch unbranded device, I just need the RUU for emergency's so that i can flash it back to how I got it. Thanks for the help!
I am having some troubles with finding the proper RUU for my phone.
I have a dutch vodafone branded phone which I rooted and flashed with CWM. I am still on 1.53 and i want to upgrade to 1.78 because of the home-screen button bug. I hope the OTA update fixes it.
In order to update my phone, I need to revert to stock and therefore I need the original shipped RUU .
Can i use the "RUU_Ville_U_Vodafone_UK_1.78.161.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258386_signed" ? I know this is UK version but there seems to be no NL version and my phones also downloads OTA_VIlle_U_Vodafone_UK_1.78 itself. So I figured i could also use the UK RUU. Is this correct?
Thank you in advance.
Anybody who knows the answer?

Well you should probably Run the RUU.exe without connecting the phone. When it runs, it places a "firmware.zip" in a temporary folder (please search for the exact location of the temporary folder as I don't exactly remember it). Open the firmware.zip file to view its contents. It should have a "android-info.txt". Open it and you'll see the supported CID. If it matches with your phone CID, you're good to go.
To get your phone CID, use CID GETTER from store. It shows CID in red at the top of the app.

Thank you. I read about that but I couldn't find the firmware.zip. I took a guess and it turned out that the RUU is correct. So for other dutch users on this forum: I can confirm that 1.78 UK Vodafone RUU works on dutch vodafone branded phones.
Hello I'm about to send my phone for a repairs to HTC. I'm currently rooted, tampered, s-on and with custom CID 111...
Any suggestions what I need to do? I mean I'll lock the bootloader and install stock RUU but is it enough? Or nothing will help they'll know that it was rooted?
Your bootloader will still show RELOCKED... The only way would be S-OFF.
And don't forget to replace the CID.

So first of all I need to S-OFF and only then replace CID to stock?
Because to S-OFF it says "you must have supercid"
Exactly!

But what do I change it to? Because unfortunately I don't remember my original CID
Because it used to say H3G (network code) and now I installed some european RUU
Is (was) your phone branded? Also, which country are you from?

United Kingdom, if you mean was it bought from network provider then yes it's branded.
P.S. some people told me to do: fastboot oem writecid, is it correct, will it change it?

Yes, it's correct. I suggest that you use Hasoon's All In One Toolkit, though: it helps a lot automating things (avoiding command line) if you are not very familiar with these things. You can find it in the development subforum.
The point is writing the correct CID. Do you remember if your software was customized by your carrier (e.g. with carrier-related apps)? Do you have your carrier name physically printed on the phone? Not all phones sold by carriers are branded: for example, I bought it from H3G but it's unbranded.
If this wasn't the case, I would go with the generic UK CID (if exists), or with the international CID (that is HTC__001).

Phone is on contract and yes it had carrier apps but on the phone there is no signatures it just looks standard. But now I installed htcs european ruu so probably it doesn't matter.
So I've changed it to HTC__001.
P.S. my bootloader says: unlocked, do I need to lock it or it doesn't matter for a warranty?
I agree, about the cid matter.
About the bootloader, that's the most important part: you need to make it say "LOCKED", otherwise.they will probably deny your warranty. The issue is, if you now lock the bootloader it will say RELOCKED, so they'll know that you've actually unlocked. You need to s-off and then get back the LOCKED label. There's a walkthrough about it, you will easily find it.
Yes thanks for the help I found out how to change it

If you now go back to s-on (it shouldn't be necessary for warranty but who knows...) be sure to use a ruu first.
And whenever you need to thank someone's posts, use the thanks button!
I noticed that HTC always updates their Taiwan model of their phones first. I decided to unlock my bootloader and S-off to change my CID to the Taiwan version. Sadly it keeps saying invalid CID. The CID is the only thing that needs to be changed, since the MID is the same anyways (both are 2PZC300000). After doing some research the CID seems to be: HTC_621 and STOCK EMEA: HTC_034. How come changing the CID gives me an error? Has anyone else actually even tried this? Or was this never possible to begin with? Is this maybe blocked by HTC? I rememeber Changing CID and MID on my One M9 really easily. I was able to install the US unlocked RUU. The reason I'm specifically choosing Taiwan RUU is because of the dual sim functionality. I'm afraid the US unlocked won't even work since that one is single sim and I don't really want to risk it.
EDIT: Typo in the title. It should be: DUGL Taiwan. The: H was a mistake.
EDIT: I was able to change the CID. I made a dumb mistake by not reading that you need to use two underscors. Like this: HTC__621. Instead of HTC_621. All I need to do now is flash Taiwan RUU and see what happens.
EDIT: succesfully flashed and updated to the latest version on Taiwan firmware
