I have an At&t HTC One X that I bought from a licensed store in Jersey.
I used a hex editior to change the CID so I could use HTCdev to unlock the bootloader (so my current CID is Roger001, which was not the original CID). Currently installed CleanROM 4.0.
Want to get back to stock to return phone...what information do I need to provide so that someone can tell me what RUU to use? In settings I see build number 1.85.502.3...hboot is 1.09.0000...radio is 0.17.32.09.12.
You can relock your bootloader then change your CID back to CWS__001 using the same hex hack method you used to make it a ROGERS CID then run the 1.85 RUU and your back to stock. One thing is your bootloader will still say relocked at the top but there is nothing you can do about that but hope they don't look at that and deny you.
Link to the 1.85 RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670238
So I hack the CID back, lock the bootloader, and run the RUU mentioned and that's it? I figured my hboot version, radio version and all the rest of it would lead me to a different RUU than the one you pointed to...
When you RUU back to 1.85 it will flash everything to the 1.85 versions.
If I lock the bootloader, how do I change the CID back? When I hacked the CID and used ADB my phone was on with the ROM loaded and plugged in...If I lock the bootloader, I can only get into the hboot screen...can I still ADB push and pull from there?
And if I'm planning on flashing the 1.85 RUU, do I need to change the CID at all? Can't I just lock the bootloader, and then run the .exe?
Locked bootloader and then ran the 1.85 RUU you pointed me to...received error 131...back to Hboot with a locked bootloader...any suggestions? Y'all made it sound so simple...
Because you didn't change Cid. Error 131
You can still unlock then push a recovery then from that recovery put a rom on the phone and flash. Use twrp.
So from here...unlock bootloader...then push twrp recovery...at what point do I change the CID and run the RUU to get back to stock?

after you have a rooted ROM on it and can access the proper partition with a hex editor to change the CID back after that you can relock bootloader and run RUU
This is why you get nexus, just flash stock images

There is not compatible RUU for my one s so heres the steps I'm going to do ....
1) SuperCID My Phone Using This Tutorial
http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-things-root/690970-guide-supercid.html
2) Then Proceed With S-OFF using this tutorial
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fTp5uwURKdg
3) Relock Bootloader Using Hasoon2000's All in one toolkit and flash stock recovery (I Need Stock Recovery Image For Htc one s S4 Processor) I Will use this tutorial for steps 3/4
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SZuAjz4PIjU
4) Run The RUU (will I be unbranded if I SuperCID and S OFF my phone so I can run. A unbranded RUU ?)
I Also Need A RUU Which Is On JellyBean Not ICS
5)Unlock Bootloader and Root
Please can ou Anwser These Questions Please <3
ill I be unbranded if I SuperCID and S OFF my phone so I can run. A unbranded RUU ? I am currently branded to three uk
And can someone link me to stock recovery Image for htc one s S4 Processor
Is There Any JellyBean RUU if So Please Link me to them and tell me if I can use them after I have done SuperCID and s off
And let me know if there any problems in my method I am going to use
Thanks One S Community
Do the steps 1 & 2 just as you mentioned.
Then, once you're s-off, you don't need to relock your bootloader. But you need to flash stock recovery before you flash any RUU. You can download it here, and flash it in fastboot mode ('fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img').
Being s-off you can easily change to any CID by typing 'fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx'. You'll find CIDs in this thread, also keep in mind that using SCID might brick your phone in case of an OTA coming in. But it's easy to change...
Then choose any RUU which is closest to what you need and run it from your desktop/laptop or click me for latest EU RUU.
As you're already rooted, there is no need for step 5. You'll still be s-off and unlocked afterwards.
You should be good to go then.

What should I change my CID to and will I be unbranded ? And can I use the ruu you provided the latest one .and I don't understand what you mean with the OTA Updates. I'm branded to three UK and for 8. Change T-MOB010 to 11111111 and save the file as mmcblk0p4MOD. Would I just find H3G and change it to 11111111
You don't need stock recovery to run an ruu, all you need is a locked bootloader
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Ok then. Just to make shure, you're on an S4 device?
Three UK means you're just around the corner... United Kingdom.
So everything 'EU' will be good for you and you should choose HTC__001 then (HTC Europe). If this works, you'll be unbranded.
If you're s-off you basically can flash any RUU you want, even the most exotic one (if there is any :laugh. And to get the point 'any' means older ones as well, e.g. ICS based ones. Being on HTC__001 or 11111111 with ICS on the other hand means that your device will find an Over The Air update to JB. If you choose to install it, it will install JB without problems on HTC__001 but a possible lot of trouble being on 11111111. As a result you might brick your phone, according to some posts here on XDA. So you should choose HTC__001 (8 digits).
At this point keep in mind, never ever use the latest TMO US JB RUU, as this may install write protection to mmcblk0p4 on one s phones!!! (Maybe not if you're already s-off, idk at this point...)
And yes, you can use the one RUU I linked to in my previous post. It worked here, why should it not work on other phones?

Crap - it's way easier to flash stock recovery than changing cid and unlocking/relocking bootloader. And it works.
I'm going to run the ruu you provided me with will I have any problems with that and what should I change my CID To? Also I'm going to flash stock recovery and lock bootloader so there no probs

Sorry for being a pain it's just I don't want to brick my phone and could you explain this as I don't understand it
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p4
and hit enter.
NOTE THE SIZE OF THE FILE BEFORE THE NEXT STEP!
6. Open the file (mmcblk0p4) with your hex editor.
7. Look for offset 00000210 or 00000214 and you should see "T-MOB010" with your IMEI number after it.
NOTE: "T-MOB010" is the T-Mobile US version, depending on your carrier this will change, but it will still precede your IMEI. See the link at the end of this post for a list of other CID's.
MAKE SURE AT THIS POINT THAT THE FILE IS THE EXACT SIZE IT WAS BEFORE YOU HEX EDITED IT!
9. Now go back to your command prompt and type
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
adb push mmcblk0p4MOD /sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD
Shall I note the file size so if it. Example.txt(4642kb). I would note the file size and I would just change my CID to HTC__001 ?
And don't I need to get the fast boot files and softbin3 and stuff but the site doesn't provide me with anything could you link me to them ? I have literally no clue
And in HxD. editor will mine look like this http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...3a77c716b8/51864687/1/0/8/2/7/9/0/hexedit.jpg
Wouldn't I change my CID To H3G__001 but I want to be unbranded

Hi,
In the order listed, these are the following steps you must do: (this guide assumes you have the HTC drivers installed and a working folder with adb and fastboot files. if you need them, ask)
1. SuperCID. (using the previous link you mentioned, or this link)
2. S-OFF (using the previous link you mentioned, or this link)
3. Get a stock recovery. I have provided one from the Jelly Bean RUU, download it here. MD5 Sum: ed56807cb765ada1d49e7e6e246aea63
Place it in your working folder (the place where adb and fastboot etc. files are).
4. Flash the stock recovery using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Change your cid to HTC__001, using the command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
You have to be in FASTBOOT USB mode in the bootloader for the command to work.
5. Run a Jelly Bean 3.16 RUU from here:
http://androidfiles.org/ruu/securek...28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe
6. Done!
Hope it helps

Hi,
I forgot to link the instructions for S-OFF, my apologies. I have corrected that now.
You should not be in fastboot mode when doing supercid, I didn't realize this. You should be booted into Android. I understand the catch-22 you are having here, so you may want to flash a custom ROM like CM10 for the time being, and then do SuperCID with USB Debugging enabled in Settings.
The md5 file is used to check for corrupt downloads, you download the file and use a tool to check the file's MD5 sum on the PC. Then you match it to the one I gave you and see if it matches. The purpose of this is so that you don't accidentally flash a corrupt file.
Also, the CID you need to find is not T-MOB010, but H3G__001 (two underscores there, to make it 8 digits). Change that to 11111111 (8 digits, again)

Alright so
1) Do SuperCID : 11111111
2) S - OFF
3 Do ' fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 '
4) Flash Stock Recovery
5) Run RUU
looks like I'm sorted
But can I ask what shall If my device doesn't match this PJ4010000.zip ?
You can forget step 4. It's not needed with S-off.

Hi, I basically did the same thing as the OP. Deleted my backups by accident by choosing Factory Reset instead of Recovery. I think I am in an even worse position as I thought I had the right RUU as one point and needed to relock the bootloader. My bootloader screen looks like this at the moment.

Can anyone tell me if this is a lost cause? Thanks.
This is the RUU I used -

Does anyone know if this is definitely the wrong one?
To all: Guys, no need to use S-Off for RUU. I DON'T KNOW WHO THE F*** CREATED THE PROCESS OF S-OFFING FOR RUUs AS WHEN I RESTORE STOCK LAST YEAR, IT WAS A SIMPLE BOOTLOADER RELOCK, AND RUU WE GO. IF WE S-OFFED, WE S-ON USING ONE-TOUCH STUFF.
To folaxstar: Well, you got as far as him. However, you got the COMPLETELY WRONG RUU. Technically, IT'S NOT AN RUU AT ALL. It is a Android 4.1 Sense 4.5/+ update for European unlocked HTC One S.
Do a "fastboot getvar cid" without the quotes (of course). You should get a CID that looks like the following: T-MOB010(T-Mobile US, as an example, it might not match what you got). Someone could determine the correct RUU.
Hi
I've just change my phone from HTC HD2 to HTC One S(S3). Unfortunately device which i bought is branded in orange. My question is how to change Orange CID to HTC__B25 ? I supose that procedure is thesame as a change CID to 11111111; i'm right ? Finaly i want to have a stock rom, stock recovery and OTA updates (without fear to make a brick after update to JB). Please help
P.S I would be grateful if someone write procedure step by step

With CID 11111111 you can install any rom.
In my case to update radio to the latest one, I flashed phone with RUU (having CID 1111111111), I got all OTA updates.
My radio now is up to date.
Now I'm on Pac Man 23.0.0 rom with latest radio, latest kernel, hboot 2.15, S-OFF, "Super"CID (1111111111).
Anyway you can update CID to any other, it's exactly the same as a change CID to SuperCID(1111111111).
Yep, Just in case.. I'm S4 user.

To change the CID on your phone you would have to be S-OFF, which is not currently possible on S3 devices. Sorry friend.
If your soff you can do it via a simple fastboot command.
First check existing:
Fastboot getvar all (or use cid instead of all)
Then change it:
Fastboot OEM writecid ........
Always 8 digits. Like HTC__001
Then reboot bootloader, get in fastboot again. Check it with the getvar command.
Know what you are changing to, and why.
Use at own risk!!!

I'm having a bit of trouble following the instructions to flash the one A9 to the 2.xxxx firmware, so that I can upgrade to Android 7. I have unlocked the bootloader, changed the cid to 11111111 and have S-Off, but when I try to flash the firmware, I get an error in cmd that says that the file is too large to download. I'm kinda lost and could really use some help.
rename the ruu to 2PQ9IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD-card. Then reboot to downloadmode and follow instructions. Should fix your problem.
@Keno27, are you following a specific guide? could you point me to it please?

Okay, I have to get a new SD card, because the one I had before only worked with Samsung phones. My One A9 just says the sd card is corrupted.
I suggest using the correct cid also...
Which CID should I use?
The cid for us developer/unlocked device
Okay, managed to change the CID to the us unlocked variant. Now just need to get a new SD card.

The error about file being to large is probably only because you're not using htc_fastboot.exe to flash the firmware but instead the regular fastboot.exe from the android sdk... Might want to try that before purchasing a new sdcard.
managed to find the htc_fastboot.exe, but when I ran the cmd again, I got an error. It said error unknown when trying to flash the 2PQ9IMG.zip.
How do you flash to the 2.xxx
