CID and MID changes

Hi all,
New to sensation, and I'm going to be a bit cautious and ask before royally messing up...
Going for ARHD and I'm looking at firmwares. My cid and MID do not match with supported devices listed. So, what is the likelyhood of a brick if I edit the files to include my id's? Would it be better to force another id on? Is it possible to change the MID in fastboot at all?
Currently rooted and have necessary recovery and gingerbread ARHD.
THANKS!

Hi,
When you did s-off,did you do Super CID?

Is your phone S-Off and SuperCID?
You can check if you're are S-off by booting into recovery, and you can check if you're superCID by using fastboot in the terminal.
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
This command will return 11111111 if you are SuperCID.
If you want to flash 6.0.X you need to install new firmware, the PG58IMG.zip package. You want "Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU"
make sure to check the md5sum of all packages and follow the instructions for all the roms diligently and you'll be ok.

Don't want to superCID? Use the firmware in my signature I have added most to supported devices

Thanks all,
I have supercid'd and made the leap on the firmware and.....
6.0.3 is running. Not great, Im getting random reboots/shutoffs, odd BT issues...
hopefully when I get the suggested radio to flash it'll be sorted. The one on the ARHD thread will not flash for me doing it the way in instructions or manually in fastboot.

Hi,
The suggested radio is included in the firmware update,so you already have it.
Check: Settings>about phone>software information>more>baseband version.
It should be 11.65.3504.00U_11.19.3504.29_2

N00b question on how to Root/flash a Sensation

Hi there
first of all i know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
So i am completly new here and i tried to root and flash a custom rom accordng to the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and here (in german: http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-sensatio...s-off-flashen-custom-rom-fuers-sensation.html)
however i did not work properly...
My Phone: HTC Sensation with Branded Android 2.3.4 (Provider Swisscom; Switzerland)
here is what i did:
1.) I unlocked the Bootloader with the official HTCDev tool (http://htcdev.com/)
2.) i S-OFF'ed my phone accordng to:
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit http://revolutionary.io/
however, the CMD showed me a "Failure, Live gave you lemons"
i think it was only concening the installation of the clockwork... (???)
3.) i did the CID stuff "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" (afterwards getcid gave me "fastboot getvar cid" 11111111
4.) the i flashed the firmwareupdate from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
(this one : "Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU" since i had id 111111111)
5.) the i tried flashing Adroid Revolution HD 6.x (after superwipe) from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4
but after rebooting, the phone froze in the white HTC screen for about 20 min or so
6.) superwipe again, and then i flashed Revolution HD 4.1.7 which is working now
my phone sais now: Android Version 2.3.5
HTC Sense: Version 3.5
Software number: Android Revolution HD 4.1.7 by mike1986
and if i enter recovery mode on statup it sais:
*****unlocked*****
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.20.0000
RADIO-11.15.3504.16_M
eMMc-boot
and if i enter recovery, this 4ext touch recovery tool (1.0.0.3 Beta 7) starts
i dont know if i have done it correctly or if i made a complete mess!
i really would like to install the Android Revolution HD 6.0.3 rom but as i said, the phone gets stuck at startup (or do i have to wait longer than 30 min on the HTC screen?!)
can annyone of you pro's see where the mistake was done? or what i have to change, to make the new rom working?
THX so Much
sincerely
N00b swissbone from switzerland

You flashed the wrong firmware for the 6.0.x rom you need to have the 1.23 hboot. Look in the ARHD thread and download the correct firmware for 6.0.3.
Link to firmware: http://tinyurl.com/creec9g

thx... actually i think i have tried both firmwares you can download at the URL you mentioned.. but i think i will try again
could it be anything else?
THX

download again the firmware, check MD5 sum and try to flash firmware again. also update your 4ext beta 8

how do i update ext4 ?
THX

there are two ways. Either you can flash 6.03 again, then you should have beta 8, or find in market "4ext uploader"

thx
there is one problem though...
if i go to cmd-> adb devies, i obly get the answer "List of Devices Attached" but no devie is listed....waht can i do?
THX

Hmm pickle indeed, whats your hboot is it still the same? or does it say something different after flashing new firmware?
if it says 1.20/1.23 you should be able to boot any gingerbread rom and older ICS Leaks,
if you want to boot 6.1.x or insertcoins 4.4.x or any variant of those roms that use the newset ICS leak your gonna need to flash latest firmware which has hboot 1.27

I would download the rom again, I had a few bad downloads before that made my phone not boot up. Oh and his roms take a while to boot just be patient

When he has no Android on his phone, he, isn't be able to flash, isn't he?
Somewhere I saw a posting with a describtion how from WM to Android. I thought I saw it in the ARHD 6.1.0 thread somewhere on page 4790 or so, it's a very huge thread, so start backwards to read is my suggestion

ok, i have 2.3.5 running again...
what have i to do nex? update teh HBOOT and Firmwaren? and then update the 6.1.x ?
THX

so ok i have 2.3.5 running again...
whta do i need to do next to get 6.1.x running?
update the HBOOT and i am good to go? i dont exactly know wat ENG S-OFF is, but do i need it?
THX

ok, when i start my sensation up in recovery mode it says:
Unlocked
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT1.23.000
Radio-11.19.3504.29_2
OpenADSP-v01.6.0.2226.00.1227
eMMC-boot
so what is the next thing to do?
flash HBOOT 1.27 with "debugging enabled"
do i need new firmware/radio ?
BIG THX

SO...i tried it again with USB DEBUGGING activated...
i downloadede the radio ( 11.68.3504.00U_11.21.3504.13_2 ) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4
but when i start this adb tool and try to install the radio it starts the phone in recovery/fastboot (as it shoud) but when i continue with "fastboot flash radio radio.img" it says:
sending "radio" .....OKAY
writing raidio....FAILED (remote: not allowed)
what is wrong?

[Q] Anyway to change the CID without ADBtools?

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.

[Q] Stock RUU Htc Sensation EU No Brand

Hello,
i have a problem , i need to find the original RUU for my Sensation because it has the "Dust Problem" and i want to send it back to HTC.
When i bought it the Android version was 2.3.4 and Sense version was 3.0.
Anyone knows which RUU i have to download to restore my Sensation ? I know 1.50 it's ICS, but i need Android 2.3.4.
Anyway, do i need to reflash PG58IMG for Android 2.3.4? Actually i'm using Android Revolution HD with ICS.
And what about radio.img? do i need to flash an older radio version?
Thank you

Nobody can help me ?

You have to retry it until there are free slots available or you look for "HTC Sensation shipped rom europe 1.45" in google.

I got original UK simfree sensation ruu in my laptop hard drive. Don't know how to send u It's large file.

Your welcome! Just hit the thanks button.
I'm not sure but i think that the link i posted is Android 2.3.3. I believe that the RUU 1.50.... Is 2.3.4 and the RUU 1.45.... Is 2.3.3. Please anyone, correct me when i'm wrong.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA

I found something in another forum and yes, RUU 1.45 should be the 2.3.3 one.
But before launching the update utility do i need to flash the correct PG58IMG for RUU 1.45?
Downgrade from 3.32 to 1.45 isn't working, and if i try to do it with the phone On on fastboot the utility crashes.
My phone is still untouched and working 100% with ARHD 6.63. Nothing bricked it, phew

EDIT: 1.45 is Android 2.3.4... i made a mistake..
I still need to find the 2.3.3 one . Any idea?

If you run the RUU it will flash everything, firmware, radio, rom etc. So you don't need to flash PG58IMG first. I guess for 2.3.3 you will need the 1.35 RUU then. You can find it in the schipped rom collection, sorry i don't have it

Thank you all for your help, i solved my problem
I post how i've done it, maybe it'll help someone.
The problem was that i had android 4.0.3 and when i was going to launch the RUU the utility was crashing, so i tried to switch the phone to fastboot usb and re-launch the ruu, but it was crashing again.
So i downloaded the pg58img for RUU 1.45, an older radio version, found on the android revolution HD official site and a deoxeded ROM based on 1.45 RUU.
1. I modified my phone with SuperCID 11111111 (before it was ITA No Brand so HTC__405).
2. I flashed the radio, then the PG58IMG and then.
3. I wiped all via recovery (boot,cache,dalvik,data,system) and installed the 1.45 based rom.
4. I've unchecked the "fastboot" option and activated the "debug usb" option.
5. Connected Phone to PC (charge only) and launched the Rom Update Utility.
6. The program detected my phone correctly and installed the ROM correctly.
7. I rebooted my phone into fastboot and re-setted the SuperCid to the original one (HTC__405).
8. I've returned to S-ON locking the bootloader via adb "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Done
Now the phone is ***LOCKED*** with S-ON and with RUU 1.45 installed. (I unlocked it months ago with revolutionary).
Thanks all for your help

[Q] How to revert to stock ROM?

there are lots of threads out there about this, but they are very complicated, i have my HTC Sensation S-Off rooted with a custom sensation XE ROM and i have TouchRecovery instead of CWM, what is the simplest way for me to restore back to a stock ROM, i had a Nand backup, but it got corrupted on my old SD-Card. Thanks in advance.

Use a RUU.exe file- tiny bit of Googling will find you them (basically I'm too tired)
Make sure you superCID first of all so you can use any of them.

If you want to be back to stock then download the RUU for your carrier. You will not have to be Super CID if it is the one for your carrier. As for it not seeing your device, do you have the USB drivers installed on your computer? If you have HTC Sync installed you should have the drivers.Also do you know for sure your USB cable is functional. If you can transfer data to and from your computer in Disk Drive mode then it is fictional.

i cannot find an o2 UK ruu, the cable is fully functional, i have the drivers, but i will reinstall htc sync because i dont think it was on this laptop. The phone was originally locked to 3 UK, then i flashed a pg58 file and got it removed.

after installing the drivers, i open up the exe, it says i have the wrong RUU, would this be because i have a custom XE ROM on a original sensation? and can someone link me to a working ruu please

It is telling you that because your device does not match either the Model ID check or either it does not match the CID check. You need to post your carrier and what region you are in as well as connect your device to your computer and use the "adb getvar" command to get all the info on your device and post it back here. This will help others to post a link to the correct stock RUU for your device.

Im on o2 UK, and the device was originally locked to 3 UK, usage of the adb getvar returns a paragraph of adb commands

Hi Adilaa
Here is a great guide on how to revert back to stock. It's written by kgs1992.

My bad, the command is "fastboot getvar" not "adb getvar", sorry about that. Also go to the link that is posted above me, it should help you out.

i have super CID, i am still struggling to find the RUU for o2 UK, if anyone can give me a filefactory link, that would be great thanks.

Go to the link that was posted to the RUU guide thread. It has all the links you need to download yourstock ROM.

If you are using a ICS ROM then you probably will not find the correct RUU for you device because there have not really been any of the ICS RUUs released or leaked. As long as you are S-off you can use the Gingerbread RUU for your device and then OTA to the ICS ROM after running the RUU.

my HTC is S-Off, may you provide me with a link to the gingerbread RUU please?
EDIT: Would the current ROM affect the RUU i am trying to install, since it is a sensation XE rom on a sensation
