OK, so, I really didn't want to ask, because I feel like this has probably already been covered, but I have searched and haven't found anything, and now I am stuck, so ask I shall. Anyway, I have a Rogers One X, and I want to get S-OFF. Now, in the S-OFF thread, it says I need supercid. So, I checked the cid on my phone, and it is ROGER001, not the 11111111 that I want, right? So, my question now is, how do I get supercid? I have tried the X-Factor exploit, but that didn't help, it failed on the 'adb shell "/data/local/tmp/pwn"' line. I don't want to try flashing the S-OFF without supercid first because it specifically says not to do that in the S-OFF thread. So, that is my problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, not sure if it matters, but according to my bootloader, I have HBOOT 1.11.0000.
PS: Side question: What exactly will S-OFF do for me? According to other stuff I have read, I will be able to flash stuff like radios, splash screens and boot.img without using fastboot, but I can already do all that without fastboot, so what is the point of S-OFF?
Thanks in advance!
Re: [Q] S-OFF questions and help, please!
Last page of s-off thread twisteddroid posted the answer to your cid question.
To your other question. You answered it for yourself.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just tried what you said, using "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" but it fails with this message:
Code:
(bootloader) elite_init_sd, SD card already power on
(bootloader) sdhw_7xxx_open: id=0
(bootloader) [SD_HW_ERR] SD: No device attached
(bootloader) 902910 902E20
FAILED (status read failed (No such file or directory))
finished. total time: 1.261s
and then the phone freezes up and I have to hard reboot it. When I check the cid again it is still ROGER001. I am doing this all from the bootloader, I am assuming that is correct?
Re: [Q] S-OFF questions and help, please!
Do steps 1-11 here to get supercid. I did this on a rogers and a telus one x no problem.

Oh and the only benefit to s-off for you is to remove the red text from the splash screen and possible future benefits such as dual booting or free SIM unlock.

Using htcdev method to unlock your phone doesn't give you complete unlock solution it prevents fastboot commands that's why you are unable to supercid your device using fastboot command.
Using HTC unlocked bootloader you can still flash roms but you can only flash roms which are having stock kernel as option like ARHD. any other kernel will not be accepted by bootloader

Yeah I came to know that too.
I'm just trying something and verifying it
I'll give you an update in few minutes
Edit1:
Can you first verify your CID and MID and post it here
type "fastboot getvar cid" and "fastboot getvar mid"
these commands will work as they are doing just reads
Edit2:
Can you give me small info?
Type
"dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p16_bkp"
Without quotes on terminal emulator after typing su
(Be careful while using dd command its extremely low level command and its quite risky(may brick the device if typed wrongly)
so double check the command before pressing enter
Also this command will just read the block so it might pose no problem but be cautious just in case)
And send the mmcblk0p16_bkp (will be at sdcard root once you type the command) through private message to me/or post it here if its fine with you

Exactly the same problem HELP! I want Sense 4 ORDROID and it just won't flash because the firmware won't flash because i cant supercid! The problem is the same! Because i used the HTCDEV method
Sorry can't help you in this case.
I've confirmed with devs .
No one for sure knows where/which partition the cid is stored.
So modifying the partition won't do and its pretty dangerous which might brick your device.
So we can't change cid without fastboot command.
I'll dig further and will let you know if I got any leads

so double check the s-off and if you are s-off then you guys have
a big chance to completely unlock your boot loader and also get supercid
so if you guys are soff then flash the latest firmware package again

You are clearly **unlocked** but still S-ON.
Use Revolutionary to S-OFF and then supercid devices.
Beta key is case sensitive so be sure to digit it correctly (usually this is the main reason why it doesn't work at first attempt).

I've just had my Telstra phone replaced due to the screen smashing on the first one.
I rooted through HTC Dev, installed TWRP on it, and flashed CM. Then to my horror realised the touchscreen didn't work.
read back through and found out that the touchscreen doesn't work with CM on 2.14.
I've installed another sense ROM on it, but want to go back to a stock CM.
This is the point I'm reaching confusion, I realise I need to downgrade my hboot - but how do I go about that?
I tried somewhere to gain SuperCID, so that I can get S-OFF ... but I can't seem to get SuperCID to work...
Any suggestions on where to start - or for that matter if there is anything I can do at all even?
You need supercid to s-off. You don't need to downgrade hboot, just your touchscreen firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863
You may have to hex-edit your CID after unlocking.
And I need both SuperCID and S-OFF to downgrade the touchscreen firmware though?
Is there another thread with procedures to get SuperCID?

Im in the same boat, Ive found my partition is write protected and cant find any other method to do it, I have tried both moonshine (my device isnt supported) and facepalm (protected partition) methods.

Hi,
can you provide a log (or screenshots) of all the commands you enter and the files you push / pull?
Have you tried Moonshine S-OFF?
I can't. I didn't take screenshots, but believe me, I follow exactly the steps in the above mentioned thread to get supercid. But it just didn't stick. I keep getting T-MOB010 cid.
I think there's nothing I can do because my phone isn't supported by moonshine (I think) and my hboot is 2.15
Anyway I want to try MagioROM. Is it stable now or will it give me constant reboots?

Try to install official RUU to your phone. Before that you need reblocked your bootloader. After installation unlocked bootloader again and try get S-OFF.

+1 on Malexion's suggestion.
Being on HBOOT 2.15 is not enough. For Moonshine to work, you need to be on one of the supported firmwares listed at the top of the Moonshine OP:
3.14.531.11 (T-MOB)
3.16.666.9 (BM)
3.16.111.10 (TMO_DE)
3.16.661.4 (Telus)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you have an RUU available for your carrier that's on one of those, it can be done..
I'm on T-Mobile US, and had accepted the OTA JB update to 3.14.531.17 before deciding to go for S-OFF. That little OTA update from .11 to .17 apparently includes some cute write protection that doesn't allow for SuperCID (among other things). As with you then, Facepalm was out of the question for me.
So I turned to Moonshine, which worked after jumping through the right hoops:
Downloaded supported RUU
Verified that RUU matched my carrier, HBOOT and baseband
Locked bootloader
Flashed RUU (in my case, I was going back to 3.14.531.11 (T-MOB))
Unlocked bootloader (you'll need to get a new unlock key from htcdev)
Ran Moonshine
Moonshine worked on the first try for me, but from reading the posts, it's clearly not as easy for everyone (especially on Windows for whatever reason).
Hopefully that helps, but happy to provide more info if you have questions.
Good luck!

Also, forgot to mention that Moonshine does not require SuperCID. I never had it and still don't. (If Moonshine S-OFF works for you, it's easy to get SuperCID if you really need it -- which I don't, so I haven't bothered yet).
T-Mobile
I'm also on T-Mobile and I wish I saw your post before I "upgraded" from .11 to .17. Quick question for you, because I just got this phone and don't know a whole lot about it. I've heard that HTC and/or Google released a jelly bean update that was horrible on the battery, and had to follow up with an update.
Is the .11 update the battery draining bad update? Is the battery drain problem something that can be fixed via a rom, rather than the update?
I guess that was more than one question, but any answers would be much appreciated. Also, if you could comment on your battery life since moving down to .11....
Yes, the .11 OTA was the first JB rollout for this phone, and the .17 OTA was released soon after to correct the battery drain issue.
I was only on the older .11 firmware for a few days before I flashed a new ROM, but it seemed pretty brutal. I'm still new to flashing ROMs, though, and I've read that it can take a new ROM a little time to optimize battery life... Not sure if that also applies to RUUs.
But it was bad enough that I would recommend only flashing the .11 firmware if you intend to switch to another ROM.
Anyhow, I flashed AOSPA 3+ a few days later and love it. A stable port, fast and fun to play with the hybrid engine. Battery life on PA has been good so far, seems on par or better than the .17 firmware in my case.
Hope that helps!

Clarification: I would only bother with the older firmware as an interim step to (a) getting Moonshine S-OFF before flashing a new ROM, or (b) going back to stock and eventually the later .17 version via OTA.
(If you ever go back to stock, be *very* careful to read up on proper procedure before ever allowing a carrier OTA once you've played around with your phone... There are one or two cases where a carrier OTA is an instant brick scenario if you don't take the proper precautions).
When I type on cmd command:
"fastboot getvar all"
this is what appears:
Code:
version: 0.5
version-bootloader: 2.15.0000
version-baseband: 1.13.50.05.31
version-cpld: None

partition-layout: Generic
security: on
build-mode: SHIP
boot-mode: FASTBOOT
commitno-bootloader: dirty-64bedd38

gencheckpt: 0
Now, from here... Can someone please tell me how to find my corresponding RUU file? How can I install it? Do I need S-OFF for that? Please help... I don't really understand how can I achieve S-OFF in my HTC One S and I read a LOT of guides already.... Just don't know what can I do so I can install MaximusHD Rom and stick with it.
@rolo143: I'll pull together my exact steps for you when I'm in front of my computer again... In the meantime, to stay safe I would remove your serial number and imei from your last post.
Flashing the RUU so you can run Moonshine S-OFF
1: VERIFY ADB/FASTBOOT ENVIRONMENT & HTC DRIVERS ARE WORKING
Boot phone into fastboot mode (boot into bootloader, select "fastboot" from hboot menu).
Connect to PC (phone will now show "fastboot USB" highlighted), open command prompt and enter:
fastboot devices
It should return "[serial number] fastboot" if it's working properly.
You've already entered fastboot getvar all to get the info you need to get the correct RUU.

2: MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Use your custom recovery (TWRP or ClockworkMod) to make a backup of your device.
Put a copy of your nandroid onto your PC for safe keeping.

3: DOWNLOAD THE APPROPRIATE RUU
I got my RUU from this xda thread:
Since you're not S-OFF and SuperCID, you have to use an RUU that matches your carrier, hboot and baseband (radio).
Based upon your fastboot getvar all results...
Your carrier: T-MOB010 (cid) = TMUS (T-Mobile US carrier) ... I used this cid list to double-check this.
Your current hboot: 2.15, which will work with the JB 3.14.531.11 RUU you're going to flash, so you're good there.
Your current radio: 1.13.50.05.31.
I downloaded the matching RUU (you'll be using the same that I did):
RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release... (truncated rest of filename).
Happily, this RUU is one of the four firmware versions supported by Moonshine S-OFF.

4. LOCK BOOTLOADER
Put phone into bootloader mode, connect to PC, open command prompt and enter:
fastboot devices
If it shows your serial number again, then enter:
fastboot oem lock
Your bootloader will now be locked and the phone may reboot back into bootloader. Leave the phone connected to the PC.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. RUN THE RUU
Leave phone in fastboot mode (if it rebooted to bootloader you may need to select "fastboot" again). You should see "Fastboot USB" highlighted on the phone.
On your PC, run the RUU (.exe) that you downloaded. Give it a few minutes after you run it, as it took mine a while to actually look like it was doing anything.
Once it finally loads, you'll get a window that gives you a series of instructions. Follow them and then let it do it's thing.
Do NOT unplug your phone from the PC (I wouldn't touch the thing, frankly) until it reboots the phone automatically.
Once your phone reboots to system, it'll be running 3.14.531.11 Jellybean!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. MOONSHINE S-OFF
Revisit the Moonshine S-OFF thread and follow the instructions very deliberately. Now that you're on a supported firmware, it should work.
---- EDIT ---- After you successfully run the RUU, you'll need to unlock your bootloader again before running Moonshine. You won't be able to use your old unlock .bin file, so you'll need to request a new one via htcdev. If you want to brush up on that, follow the unlock instructions on this xda tutorial thread.
Good luck!

Good post
When I did moonshine, I eventually put mint linux on a laptop just to get it to work. Where there is a will there is a way.
Thanks... I've learned a ton over the last few months from everyone being so supportive here. Want to give back a little where I can.
I tried and tried to set up Ubuntu Linux, but I simply could not get it to play nicely with my MacBook Pro. For my new Android obsession, I'm running Windows through Parallels, and I didn't want to use that for Moonshine since they don't officially support VMs. But the Ubuntu install on my particular hardware just kept throwing up too many roadblocks. Thankfully, I was able to pretty carefully manage my HTC driver setup on the Mac and in the VM, and once I figured out the right combo, my adb/fastboot connections have been rock solid. So I took a deep breath and gave Moonshine a go through Parallels, and it took on the first try. Go figure, after all of my toying around with Linux.

Please help me, I'm desperate.
- I want to install MaximusHD ROM.
- I have HBOOT 2.15.
- I unlocked bootloader via HTCDev.
- I have CM10.1 running on my phone.
I tried this method to get Supercid, because, as far as I know, you need to have Supercid before getting S-OFF. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911
I haven't even tried using the facepalm method because I can't get supercid.
After I followed all the steps correctly, I run command "fastboot oem readcid" and still get the T-MOB010 CID.
I repeated the whole process 3 times, making perfectly sure I didn't make any mistake and still, can't get supercid 11111111.
I tried using moonshine method too, but when I run distiller.exe at the end it says read and try again or something. So I just cant get S-OFF or supercid.
Please tell me how can I get MaximusHD Rom working on my phone! Please! :/

Thanks for that concise summary. It helped me when I finally decided to get around to get S-OFF on my phone (flashing boot.img with every ROM switch/update/downgrade/etc. got tiresome).
Hello everybody!
I am can't get SuperCID in my HTC One S. In this time i have in phone root, unlock from htcdev and it's all. Trying with adb command receive T-MOB010 Cid, Moonshine after 3'd reboot stopping in '.........' in Fastboot. This '.......' points I am wait for 30 min and after disconnecting phone it still writing in comp screen. RUU from TMOB supported by Moonshine is installed to phone. What I wrong doing. *wall*. Help me, please!
> tried this method to get Supercid, because, as far as I know, you need to have Supercid before getting S-OFF. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
Wait. You do not have to have SuperCID to get S-OFF.
Try moonshine. Some of us couldn't get S-OFF any other way. Also, I had to use an Ubuntu Live CD - Windows didn't work for me no matter what I tried. It kept getting stuck at "..........."
When I used the Ubuntu live CD it went right through.
hello everyone, android user and my device s-off in the first year I want to do but how to do it without the support of htcdev? Is there a program available? When I unlock my device also has root? Am I going to root sturdy at the same time to s-off? I just want to get rid of device applications that official. 5 4.2.2 installed on my device, this device can sense it possible to root for?
Thank you.
I think you're confused as to what s-off is and unlocking is, they're two entirely different things. You don't use htcdev to get s-off. You use htcdev to unlock your bootloader, and no you cannot unlock your bootloader without htcdev. Unlocking your bootloader doesn't give you root, after unlocking the bootloader you must install a custom recovery and then you can gain root. After gaining root you can get SuperCID and then you can get s-off. If all you want to do is remove some system apps, then you'll just need to unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery, and install root.

You don't need s-off to delete bloatware (pre-installed apps). Just use HTCDev.com to unlock the bootloader. Then install custom recovery, then either flash SU or a rooted ROM to get root.
The process to s-off is simple (see Facepalm method in the Original Android Development subforum). However, it requires SuperCID. Since the CID is protected on Sense 5, you will not be able to SuperCID (and therefore S-off).
But as already mentioned, you don't need S-off to root and delete bloatware.
I'm at a loss and somewhat confused.
I read in one place that I need to s-off to update my radio, but in order to do that I need super-cid.
so I'm trying to change my cid from ROGER001 to 11111111.
Now I'm reading that I can s-off without super-cid? All I'd like to do is update my radio and kernel so my phone stops losing signal and stops rebooting. I should also mention that I already went to htcdev and unlocked my bootloader.
What I see in fastboot:
TAMPERED
UNLOCKED
Evita PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.14.0000
RADIO-0.23a.32.09.29
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815

Viper Xl 4.2.0(amazing Rom btw)
HTC Sense 5.0
I have tried the script, it failed, manual method, that failed.
manual method gets me this result after I fastboot oem readcid(ok), fastboot oem writecid 11111111

I'd like to resolve this as my signal stops, and device reboots randomly.

Nope, wherever you read that, its completely incorrect.
It says right in the s-off method instructions, in big bold print that SuperCID is required: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
If you are having trouble with s-off, the other solution to random reboots on Sense 5 is to install the Beastmode kernel.

I actually started to type "as mentioned in a bazillion different places" after my Beastmode statement in the previous reply. But I decided to be nice!
I checked out this link again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952038
i still get an error, it fails on step 6 with message [-] Failed.
I'll give beastmode another shot, i've tried it before, no success.

The x-factor exploit fails since its looking for the AT&T CID. For other CIDs, you need to edit it manually using the hex edit method.
If you have trouble with installing Beastmode, I think some folks have had to install Beastmode 2.0 before installing 3.5.
After many attempts, boot loops beastmode reloaded 3.5 finally took.
So now I need to ask if I need s-off, i've done everything except upgrade my radio.
I'll only update my radio if the antenna drops keeps dropping out.
Well, radio went out, no reboots yet, I'll see what else I can try.
no i want to only rooting device, this video help me ? cause title for htc one."but my device hox"

No it won't work, it's not for this phone. Only ever use guides specifically for this device or you could brick it. As I've already told you, you absolutely cannot root this device without unlocking the bootloader through htcdev first. I'm not sure why you're still searching for ways to do it, they do not exist. There's no point in coming here for advice if you don't even listen to the answers you're given.

some people say me "when using htcdev for unlock your warranty get void" thats true ?
Absolutely nowhere within this forum does it say you need s-off to root, because you don't. I've already told you that. I can't view that video for some reason but unless it specifically says it's for the Evita don't use it. All you need is in the Everything Evita link in my signature, do not get information anywhere else, XDA is the only place you need to look.
As I've already told you, if you want to root you need to unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery first. In the link I mentioned there are guides on how to do this, you need to follow the guide that pertains to your current firmware version.
