How to get CID to work

OK I have read the guide on hoe to get cid BUT I have the latest update from t-mobile for the 4G when I run the adb and run it though I get an error message
INFO pyramid_init_sd, SD card power on ok
INFOsdcc_init_memory_device done
INFO[FAT_ERROR] fat_open_file: can not find SMART_IO.CRD
INFO[JAVACARD_ERR] SMART_IO.CRD cann't find
OKAY [ 1.125s]
finished. total time: 1.125s

When I check the CID it still labels it as T-MOBILE
any ideas on how to fix this

little more detail on what your trying to do? are you trying to get superCID? or you wanting to change back to orginal CID?

Trying to Get superCID
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

are you fully rooted,have s-off and eng 1.17 hboot?
if you have all those then its simple
simply reboot into fasboot(bootloader)
from cmd window
if you have adb set as environment then you can just type
8.enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
9. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)
10. enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]
11. enter the command "fastboot reboot"

if you dont have adb setup in environment then you have to go to the adb directory whever you installed it
eg.
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\
once in that directory then you can do superCID commands

I have 1.18 hboot
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

you need the eng boot to do fastboot commands, i suggest you read how to get rooted/or go back to eng boot then do superCID

So I have to re root my phone even though it was rooted after the update? Got a link to this eng boot
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

thats only if you lost root and dont have root, if you have root, and you still have s-off you can still go back to .17 eng boot

I had this too, what worked for me was:
install android terminal
open terminal
type: getprop cid.ro << this will show you your current cid, back it up.
use 4ext to reboot into bootloader, or adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot cid commands still work
when in bootloader:
open cmd and navigate to your android tools folder, then:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid << this should be 11111111 now.
fastboot reboot
Now you can flash any zip file you want.

A small hint: It should say 'getprop ro.cid' and not 'getprop cid.ro'...

Is there any way I can downgrade the hboot from 1.18 to 1.17

Are you s-off if so then yes

[Q] Bootloader not rebooting after confirming unlock.

My phone is S-OFF, if i want to unlock the bootloader and choose yes in the bootloader unlocking screen of the phone the phone does not reboot, i have to choose no i order to reboot the phone.
When i was S-ON that was not the case by choosing yes to unlock the bootloader it reboot automaticly.

why on earth you want to do unlock after SOFF ???
once you do unlock over SOFF ..if you relock you will have relocked rather than locked ..which you dont want that
if you are having trouble using fastboot flash commands (having error remote not allowed)
then you can just flash the juopunutbear HBOOT
here get the pyramid ICS one from this link
and flash the hboot using these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver HTC)
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip (ignore the progess bar on the screen)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
thats all ..you will have a complete unlocked hboot (pink *juopunutbear*)
then you can use the fastboot flash commands as usual

help for update htc sensation 4g .

when i want to type this in prompt "fastboot oem writecid HTC__J1"
it gives me "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file"
i want to install arabic stock rom.

Two things:
1. You need the fastboot files
2. You need to change directory (cd) to where the fastboot files are so for me it would be:
cd C:\adb
fastboot oem writecid HTC__J1

no no after writecid command the cid immediately wont reflect it ..do it this way
step by step ..from phone connected in fastboot USB and commands from C:\adb
1.fastboot getvar cid (gives your current cid ..post it here )
2.fastboot oem writecid HTC__J15 (its J15 is it not ?) (if this failed ..post the entire output here)
3.fastboot reboot-bootloader (reboots the boot-loader)
4.fastboot getvar cid (this should give you HTC__J15 now)
NOTE: remember there should be no quotes in the command..just copy paste the above commands if you want to to avoid any errors

[Q] Super CID Problem

please help. I cannot get Super CID 11111111. I have done this before, but when I sent my phone to HTC my CID is now T-MOB010. I have done this before I sent my One S to HTC, but when I am trying again, it does not work. I do the steps EXACTLY as told. I did it multiple times too. I have my bootloader unlocked with TWRP 2.3.3. and my mmcblk0p4MOD already has 11111111 and same size as mmcblk0p4. what is going wrong?

Why do you want to S-Off?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

HTC has probably set that partition to read only, so your only way to scid is to use moonshine s-off. And when you are s-off, you can use the command fastboot OEM writecid 11111111 to get scid.
First check that you are on the correct firmware to use moonshine.

do I have to use moonshine, or do can I use facepalm

You can not use facepalm, because it needs scid first.

okay, so I successfully moonshined my One S. it is now S-Off, but I want to super CID. can you direct me to how to properly Super CID while on moonshine? is there any backfires doing this?

Sure. Boot to fastboot. Make Sure it says Fastboot USB. Open command prompt in your fastboot folder. Write command: fastboot OEM writecid 11111111. Done.
The only thing to think of is not to do an OTA update of a stock ROM when you are scid. It could hard brick your phone.

I also would like to add that now when you are s-off, be careful what you flash. Don't mess with hboots and stuff. If you lose your hboot, you are f...ed!
