Super CID for the Sensation

You must be S-OFF
Reason:
1. It will set up Super CID on your device allowing you to flash any carriers rom (not just T-Mobile). Giving you more freedom with your choice of software. The software still needs to be device specific to the Sensation for compatibility reasons.

Definition for supercid:
by CID unlocking your device the value of the CID is changed to SuperCID . This allows the flashing of ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier and also unlocks the read/write capability of the Ext_ROM..
CID lock: the phone software can only be modified/upgraded with another version for the same CID. I think it stands for Country ID; this means that a phone with French Windows Mobile can only accept an upgrade of French Windows Mobile. It is probably required by Microsoft to license the software to OEMs to avoid piracy (I suppose). HTC uses the CID also to distinguish their various distribution channels, so a DOPOD branded device and an HTC branded device have different CIDs. A phone that is not locked to any country version or to any distribution channel has a SuperCID and will accept all WM software whatever the language, etc. Your phone is probably CID-locked.

Might allow you to flash ruu from diferent regions. Also complete r/w permissions I believe.

Thanks... let the fun begin

FYI.....It stands for CarrierID not CountryID.

From cmd on computer or terminal on the phone?

Code:
c:\RW_Sensation>adb shell

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p16_backup

Why are you using temp root? You need to be fully rooted.

Not using temp root; just cd to that folder for adb.
I'll try some resets.

Worked to the tee!!!!!

This works for flashing through recovery. The exe ruu installers check the build.prop on the device and possibly even the signatures to verify its the same device in question. You'd have to extract the firmware from the installer. How? I don't know. I've been waiting for someone to tell me.

[Q] Command error on writecid

Hello,
I've a Desire S bought from my operator and I wanted to unbrand it.
I did successfully those steps:
-> S-OFF with revolutionary
-> SU with the update su-.... package from CWM Recovery
-> Installed the official and latest HTC Desire S no-rooted rom
When I was reading XDA I've learned about fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 on the Sensation forum to be able to get the official OTA updates.
I did try the tips by doing:
adb reboot bootloader (FASTBOOT USB showned)
and then
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
But that was unsucessful before and after applying the official rom:
> fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
So basically, the next OTA update will be from my carrier or from HTC ?
Does anyone manage to change CID ?

Hi,
have you found a solution.
I also want to change the CID to get the official update but have also
command error...
Any solution?

You should really have looked a little harder! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278117

I did not link the problem to simlock.
I bought the Phone in Hong Kong and I can use all kind of cards (HK, German 02, German Eplus).
I always thought simlock will prevent this....

does not work
I see a date not an unlock code...
still cannot change CID
now I'm rooted, s-off everything.
Why is this so hard?

Apology for the incorrect link
The only method I know that works is to use an xtc clip

Anything new about SuperCID??

[Q] Check/Change CID via adb wireless?

I have a sensation that i got real cheap and was wondering if you can check the CID or even change through adb wireless? The charging port on the phone is broke and no way to connect usb. The phone is already rooted with hboot 1.17...Thanks in advance.

You can check cid from the phone.
Download terminal emulator from the market.
Type "su" without quotes". If you are root you will get a "#'
then type
"getprop ro.cid" (again without quotes) and it will show your actual (original) cid.
Even if you got supercid (11111111) it will show the original cid, something like HTC__XXX
I dont know if you can change it from the phone as well.
If you want to check also your model id (mid). Type "getprop ro.mid"
Hope it helps.
PS. If you cannot use usb how to re-charge your phone? just to ask...

CID (current) can only be checked/changed via fastboot.

Afaik the bricked phones ran the OTA update with super cid. They didn't flash any JB custom rom, which is what you want to do and which is sth different.
I personally ran the JB OTA twice and also having 11111111 (eight digits!) nothing got bricked.
Before doing anything check your present CID and your bootloader version. Seems that you're french so you already might have a 'good' cid. And please post the results here, so we can read them.
---edit---
oops, I forgot: Your bootloader is unlocked and you already have a custom recovery installed?

my phone was a vodap203 cid cid day I put the htc__203 and he never wanted to install a ruu naked so I installed a rom j then setting the custom super cid j've manages to flash the ruu 2.31 ​​but when I start putting a day he does not want to install it tells me what day I like this change and therefore j I try this solution but without success so c's why I'm asking you to supercid

Having trouble rooting (updated to 4.1.1)

Hi, I Just picked up the HTC One X earlier last month and decided that I wouldn't root until I realized that there's certain apps I use that won't run without root (sixaxis controller for example) so after I had already updated to 4.1.1, I figured that I'd enable USB debugging and so that I could receive root access using Hasoon 2000's simple all in one toolkit, however I can't get the xFactor root exploit that changes your CID working..
I'll get prompted to restore first backup, which doesn't work (starts, then ends immediately), it automatically tries a second time, then sends me to the bootloader. I then get prompted to check my CID before I proceed, and it still hasn't changed from my original 'Rogers01" CID to the 1111-sequence of numbers. I have the latest HTC drivers installed for my One X..
Anyone have a clue on what's going on here? Could this be happening because I updated?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
TL;DR version
I updated to 4.1.1. and I'm trying to root, can't change CID

I don't think you have to change cid with rogers just go to htcdev.com get you unlock token unlock boatloader push a recovery then flash a Rom and boot.I'mg

You can't if you on att because atts cid is blocked on htcdev.com and so you need to change your cid to supercid which we can't do on 4.1.1 yet
