My CID is 22222222, even though I RUU'd back to 1.85. My Hboot 1.09, and my phone is S-Off'd.
Why is it showing as 2222222? I've flashed other HOXs before and never experienced this issue.
Can't you just
(Fastboot oem writecid 11111111) ?
Try that in bootloader/fastboot.

Actually OP...better question is why you want 11111111?
22222222 i used that and got SuperCID because i read that HTC closed the 11111111 loophole in its unlocking process (if you wanted to go S-OFF.
Supercid is not a loophole, it was designed and implemented by Htc to do exactly what it does, to make a device not locked by region checks.

But it was probably never intended for the general public to use. Evidenced by the fact that HTC started blocking it in HTCDev.com bootloader unlock process. So in that sense, it was a loophole that was closed.

+1 to that. There is no purpose to changing it to 11111111, and no benefit to it (especially if you are S-off).

If your CID is 22222222, you must have made it so. Or the person who owned the phone before you, if you obtained it used.

Certain things, e.g. RUUs, need to have the correct Carrier ID on the phone in order to install via the bootloader or recovery using the PG58IMG.zip process. The Latest Firmware packs for example are grouped together into sets, this is to allow you to install them if you don't have SuperCID. If you have got SuperCID you can install any of them as all the CID checks pass.
Another reason to change the CID if to allow you to install a generic RUU instead of the one that came with the phone, this allows you to remove the bloatware. For example I'm on Vodafone and I installed the generic Euro RUU purely to get rig of the Vodafone crap that came pre-installed.
The process to change it back is identical to the way you write the SuperCID just using your original CID (mine for example is VODAP001). IIRC HTC__01 is the generic CID

Hey thanks for your response
Ok so I have s-off and super Cid just a few more questions if u don't mind
1. can i install any ruu for any android phone or am I limited?
2. Will installing a ruu for another phone effect the way my current phone works
3. When installing a ruu.exe for another phone will I have to follow the same bootloader unlock method for that phone or my phone?
Sorry for the newbie questions but I have limited knowledge of super cid however I have been rooting for years now
I heard some bad things about super cid but have not had any issues thus far, the guide was very easy to follow and in fact just to make sure it was working I was able to ruu backwards

1)with s-off and supercid you are not limited
2)it won't affect anything at all
But probably you will have some official updates from the specific carrier(if you have)
3)I think it depends from the carrier of the Ruu you have chosen
But actually there is no need to unlock the bootloader because you are on s-off
Edit:in second and third question what do you mean by another phone?
I assume you mean another carrier
If yes then yes
If you mean another device(for example Samsung)then absolutely no
Of course you can use any ruu but only from sensation's devices

NO- you cant/shouldn't flash another model phone's RUU on another
there is a high chance of bricking the device if you do that
Does SuperCID also network unlocks the phone?
There is a lot of confusion on the internet about SuperCID. I have HTC One S which is locked to T-Mobile and I want to get it network unlocked. the "strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6" method did not show unlock_code for my phone (though it has worked for some other people). While googling I found that doing SuperCID by changing mmcblk0p4 can also network unlock the phone. Please let me know if you have some idea. Thanks.

hi everyone,
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum. I have the One X which I just rooted, unlocked BL and also did S-off just over the weekend as I was wanted to try some JB. Now my sim card slot failed, it keeps saying no sim card found. I tried my sim on a different phone and the sim works. Now I am trying to get back everything as close to stock(2.20) as possible, so that I can get a exchange with att/htc. I tried to relock the bootloader and it worked but it says relocked on the top. I read somewhere that going back to s-on would reset the relocked flag to just locked ? I still have s-off, Is there anyway I can go back to s-on and reset my c-id ?
Thanks in advance.
Just to elaborate on my original message below, though I have s-off, and unlocked bootloader, I have not flashed any ROM. I just flashed the twrp recovery.
Now I have everything back to original but for the following
a) I am still S-off. Can I go S-On ?
b) bootloader says relocked, can I make it to say locked ?
c) can someone point me to the link for 2.20 RUU zip file ?
Thanks,

No, you've got it backwards. Its intended to say RELOCKED (or UNLOCKED) once its been unlocked. It might be possible to change these flags, if you have S-Off. But such a thing has not been discovered yet. Nor has a method to S-on been discovered yet (or at least not that has been posted here).
Just relock and RUU. It will still say RELOCKED and S-Off, (otherwise stock). But AT&T doesn't seem to care about the bootloader being unlocked on this device. Many people have gotten warranty service from AT&T for phones that say RELOCKED. I think some folks have even warrantied devices UNLOCKED and running custom ROMs! Just make sure you go through AT&T, as HTC themselves are known to be much more strict about their warranty coverage.

Don't know why people ignore this, and make life so hard for themselves:

You can also get it straight from HTC's support website.
Going back to S-on is simple fastboot command, but there's no reason to do it.
You can edit some of your bootloader text in various ways. Start with this thread:

His profile says he is
Yeah, but still needed to check. Have you thought about re-unlocking your bootloader? It's been modified in the past which might have something to do with your update problem. If you unlock your bootloader you'll be able to install a custom recovery and then you can install whatever ROM you like. We have the stock Telstra Sense 5 Android 4.2.2 ROM in our development section. We also have a few other Sense 5 ROMs to choose from, ranging from stock to tweaked.

The thing is that it hasnt been messed with.I got the phone from a HTC rep that i know ... he had it in his draw for over six months ...I just wanted the stock update but maybe rooting might be the easier way
It definitely has been messed with, phones that are s-off and have SuperCID don't come out of the factory like that. Somewhere along the way someone has done those alterations to the device.
There is just one problem I've realised, your phone has a SuperCID of 11111111 which has been blocked by htcdev. You're s-off though so you can actually change that as many times as you like using fastboot. If you want to unlock your phone you'll need to change it to 22222222 using the following fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 22222222
You can then check the new CID by using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
Once that's done you can go to htcdev and go through with the unlock bootloader process.
In order to do the above process you will need to install adb/fastboot and HTC drivers.

No problem ... thanks for that ....I have rooted my one x before HTC_023 fairly basic but my mate swears that the phone came straight from HTC as a Tell us what you think before we send you more kind of thing .. Cheers for the info ...
Actually one more thing ... is it possible to do a RUU update with this to 4.2.2?
There is no RUU for 4.2.2, the only way is to run an earlier RUU and take OTA updates to get there. Since you can't get the OTA I guess that isn't an option though.

Within 30 minutes drive from me no doubt
Supercid and s-off from factory or not still means you are off the official path.
Things I might do:
fastboot oem writecid TELST001
Then try the OTA again
or
RUU back to 1.89.841.9 as a RUU exists for that, then ota forwards to 5.06.841.1
or
Unlock bootloader
Flash Turges 5.08 firmware zip and then take one of the Sense 5 ROMs. There is a stock Telstra ROM even.
PS nag the HTC rep for a more recent RUU, eg 2.40.841.4, 3.17.841.2, 3.17.841.9 or 5.06.841.1 and share with us

I have often wondered the same thing, but I've been assuming that in order to flash TWRP recovery you need an unlocked bootloader.

Try changing your CID back to the stock CID (at the moment you have SuperCID which is 11111111). You'll need to install fastboot on your PC, and also make sure you have the drivers for your phone installed on your PC. If you don't know how to do this, Google will be your friend.
Once you have that all ready to go you can issue the following command to make sure your connection is good.
Code:
fastboot devices
Then you can use this command to change your CID:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
And this command to confirm that it worked:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid

Why are you trying to make the CID HTC__001? That isn't the right CID for your phone. Just doing random things like that is a great way to end up bricking your phone. I believe the only way to reset the SIM unlock count is by running an RUU.
