UPDATE: Apparently it is only possible to change the CID with S-ON if your current CID is SuperCID.
*issue closed*
I had used Revolutionary to de-brand my phone. First S-OFF, then SuperCID, then a stock unbranded ROM, then back to S-ON.
I wasn't getting the OTA to 2.3.4 here in The Netherlands, so I changed my CID to HTC__E11, which is the CID for an unbranded Sensation in The Netherlands. Lo and behold, I got the OTA immediately.
Interesting to note, I was able to change the CID using "fastboot oem writecid HTC__E11" with S-ON. Someone else was able to do exactly the same thing so it's confirmed to work.
Now that I have upgraded to 2.3.4 and have my CID set to HTC__E11, this no longer works for me. However I'm wondering if it *does* work for people still on 2.3.3, or if it only worked for me because I was already SuperCID. I wonder if others who are still on 2.3.3 are able to use "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" with S-ON (i.e. without using Revolutionary).
So, using adb tools on a stock ROM:
NOTE: If you test this you do so at your own risk.
0. download and unzip adb tools to a folder. make sure HTC Sync is not running (uninstall, or just exit/kill the application).
1. open command prompt and "cd" your adb folder
2. ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (ensure usb debugging is on settings).
3. enter the command "adb devices". This is to confirm your phone is connected. (It should come back with list of devices attached and your serial number)
4. enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader". (nothing further required device WILL reboot in bootloader)
5. enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
6. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)
7. enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]
8. enter the command "fastboot reboot"
9. you should now be able to flash any stock ROM you like.
NOTE: Please DO NOT change your CID to HTC__E11 unless you are in The Netherlands. HTC__E11 is the CID for an unbranded Sensation in The Netherlands. If you are in a different country, check for the appropriate CID here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195475&page=3.
I've already de-branded my phone, but I wonder if others are able to using "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" without using Revolutionary.

Yes, I have. In fact I believe that method is in one of the tutorials here.
Here is a link that describes it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

No, that tutorial uses Revolutionary first to go from S-ON to S-OFF before changing the CID. I was able to change my CID with S-ON.
so I'm changing my cid to 11111111?
not HTC__E11?

11111111 is the SuperCID. HTC__E11 is the CID for unbranded Sensations in The Netherlands. If you don't use the SuperCID, you may want to refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195475&page=3 for a list of CIDs.
I changed to the SuperCID using Revolutionary to first get S-OFF. Then I set S-ON. But even with S-ON, I was still able to change my CID (I changed it to HTC__E11 in order to receive the OTA to 2.3.4.).
So what I'm wondering is if people with 2.3.3 and S-ON are able to change their CID to the SuperCID 11111111, without first using Revolutionary to change to S-OFF.
Ok, I must have misunderstood your question. It seems as if you have clarified your question since your original post. I just thought you were asking if one could write the CID without Revolutionary. My bad. FYI, I have not tried what you are asking.
I changed to the SuperCID using Revolutionary to first get S-OFF. Then I set S-ON.

A statement like this, though, I don't really understand. Two questions come to mind: 1) How did you set S-ON? and 2) Were you able to confirm that you wrote a new CID with S-ON, or did you just not get an error message?

I set S-ON using the instructions on how to set S-ON here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and I confirmed it during reboot, the text "S-ON" was back on the boot screen.
I wrote the new CID with S-ON, then confirmed it by rebooting and running the command "fastboot getvar cid", which gave me the phone's CID, which indeed was the new CID I'd written. In addition, with the new CID (unbranded Dutch, instead of SuperCID), I immediately got the OTA to 2.3.4.
Someone need to test this with a stock phone!
Or try to set secureflag to 1 maybe its not really changed ...

What's your problem, can't you read? I wrote already, the phone reports "S-ON" in the boot screen, and after a reboot, it still reports the new CID, and after setting the new CID, I got the Netherlands OTA immediately.
I tried it with stock s-on phone and it doesn't work.
Code:
C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot oem writecid 11111111
...
(bootloader) pyramid_init_sd, SD card already power on
(bootloader) sdcc_init_memory_device done
(bootloader) [FAT_ERROR] fat_open_file: can not find SMART_IO.CRD
(bootloader) [JAVACARD_ERR] SMART_IO.CRD cann't find
OKAY [ 0.172s]
finished. total time: 0.172s
It still reports same cid.

Thanks for testing this - just to confirm, you tested with 2.3.3 and not 2.3.4, right?
If so, then it seems to imply that you can change the CID even with S-ON but only if you currently have SuperCID.
Then I have no idea. I would not think one could write a new CID with S-ON, regardless of the ROM. However, you have tried it and claim it works, so someone with more knowledge will have to explain why...lol
I notice in the tutorial it says "secureflag 3," which at least gives you S-ON displayed, and perhaps does set the security back on. I wonder what 0,1,and 2 do, though. Is it 0,1,2, or 3 on stock phone with S-ON?

Yes, tested on stock s-on phone and stock 2.3.3 rom. 2.3.4 Ota update is still not available here.
well i do also have s-on and managed to change cid to HTC__E11 with adb and also like the OP can't seem to change it back to what it was (stock sensation with 1.50...rom) does the cid mathers in terms of warranty and ota updates??? (i'm in the netherlands)
regards
edit:well OTA updates do work on my side but still no luck changing the CID again.
nobody here that can decifer this one??
I have a sendation xe with hboot 1.18 and s-on.
I used the commands to change CID from HTC__038 to HTC__001.
I still don't receive the OTA update on my phone though.
The phone was bought from Hong Kong but from using the CID Getter app it shows CID at the top as HTC__001 now but when you scroll through the data there are still reference to it being an indian phone.
I am looking to change it to stock Euro gingerbread with CID 001 so that I can receive the OTA ICS update.
I can't use revolutionary to change to S-OFF as always fails. I can't install the RUU for euro GB as it gives an error when I try to run it.
Not having any joy asking people for help so far either.
baseband: 0.17.31501S.10_2_10.27.31501S.10L

my question is if it will be compatible?
Hi you, why you not change CID to supper CID 1111111?, you can flash any RUU file if you want.

You need S-OFF if you have an S3. If you have an S4, just an unlocked bootloader is fine.

Reboot phone into fastboot mode, open cmd window on your computer linking to the adb path.
fastboot oem writecid 11111111. Being SuperCID you can flash whatever RUU, but not receive OTA updates.

first i have to say that i have a S4 version that i checked with cpu spy and you told me that i only need unlocked bootloader so its unlocked and when i try to supercid it says: FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)) and then i get stuck in bootloader mode and i have to get it out of bootloader mode manually (command fastboot reboot-bootloader didn't help cause i got a respond of waiting for device)
and then when i boot again into fastboot usb and type fastboot getvar cid it says HTC__K18 like the old one.
what do i have to do?
is there any way to s-off htc one s?

There is a link to Super CID instructions in the dev forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671643
Also, there is no s-off yet for HTC One S.
Third, what carrier do you have? I did not recognize your CID. If there is a RUU that you think exists that Football has not posted in his thread, than I suggest PM ing him. Thats how I was able to get the three Bell Mobility RUUs onto FileFactory. But I am curious about your carrier as it may already be in his list.

My carrier is cellcom, israel.
And how do I make sure i don't have SuperCID mod done so I can go back to stock.
At&t CID is CWS__001. To find out your current CID issue the following fastboot command:
fastboot oem readcid

My CID is currently HTC_061 for an AT&T One X with hboot 1.14 s-on
Something I did must have messed with that. Is my best bet at this time to SuperCID, S-Off, flash .ruu to go back to stock?
Yep, that sounds right to me. SuperCID, s-off, RUU.

Hey, I have a Rogers HTC One X and I've installed ViperXL 4.2 and recently it's been turning off the Data and i've been getting random restarts. I read around and it seems the problem is the radio and the way to fix it is to get S-Off. I followed a few tutorials and they've all ended in errors.
It seems like my phone has the Original CID, yet I can't change it even though the bootloader is unlocked.
I followed this Tut :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
Tried this method for CID :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212737
Any Ideas?
Try Rumrunner s-off instead, you don't need SuperCID for that.
Http://Rumrunner.us
Once you have s-off you can easily change your CID with a fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Then you'll be able to flash the 2.15 firmware package.

Awww yeah! Thanks dude!!!!
Hi,
I have an AT&T HTC One X. It has unlocked Bootloader (hboot 1.09), does this mean I have Super CID?
I want to make it S-Off.
Thanks,
Oded
Edit: deleted
Well yeah, it pretty much does mean you have SuperCID because you can't unlock the bootloader on the at&t model without SuperCID. But the hboot has nothing to do with it. Just double check the CID by using this fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
It'll almost definitely come up as 11111111.
