[Q] do i have to do the cid thing?

hello.
i have sensation that is s-off and rooted.
now i want to unroot and i am confused.
i know that my phone came with 1.xx.401 firmware and i have same RUU.
now, do i really need to change to supercid?
RUU will remove revolutionary and CWM and i can do secureflag3 later, right?
i don't see the point in changig cids
thanx

The Super CID is needed to downgrade the HBOOT as Revolutionary changes it to a non-standard one. You can try it without Super CID but if it doesn't work then you'll need to use it. you can then change it back to your current one before running the S-ON command

i've done it without supercid with no problems!
my phone is now stock with s-on
thanx for help!

Wasn't sure if it would work or not, nice to know you don't need it for your own RUU

stock rom fail

Hi,
I'm trying to go to the stock rom because I have to return my phone because I have battery problems and dust behind my screen.
But when I try to flash a stock rom it doesn't work. It says that I using the wrong image update.
Current image is 1.11.401.110 and I want to go to the lastest stock rom 3.32.401.105
What do I have to do?
Thanks

What was the original CID ? What CID do you now have ?
1.11.401....... wow that seems really old.
x.xx.401.... will need CID "HTC__001" or SuperCID "11111111".
What exactly does it say when you run the RUU ? Does it connect OK to the Sensation, does it say what the existing version is on the phone ?

I at the moment I have SuperCID so '11111111'.
My sensation was connected correctly to the pc
And do you need my Hboot version or my firmware?
My Hboot: 1.27.1100
Firmware: 3.33 full package

OK I don't understand where 1.11.401.110.... figures in the situation. If I understand correctly that is a custom ROM based off a different platform with Sense 4.0. Probably wrong though..
Are you fully S-OFF (clutching at straws here). Assuming you are you should be able to install an RUU easily. I recently went from 3.32.161.... to 3.32.401.. then back to 1.27.161... with no issues at all.
I'm sure someone more able than me can help you here.

ok you are SOFF seeing that you have revolutionary HBOOT ..
so when returning stock ...its better to flash the correct stock...which can be found using CID
but as you have supercid now ...you need to know your original cid or the carrier/country the phone is linked to ..for finding the proper stock RUU
this guide helps you in fiding the proper stock RUU and it has flashing instructions too

Hi,
I followed the link and tried to get my CID but I only get 11111111 so i don't know what I have to download now

Install "cid getter" from the market.
AFAIK the entry for "ro.cid" should tell you your original CID.
e.g. It says VODAP001 for me while "fastboot getvar cid" gives "11111111".

from which country you bought the phone from and to which carrier it is linked to ?

Thanks everyone for helping me, but after using google I've found a site and found the solution.

[Q] [ HTC ONE S Ville C2 ]Update hboot from 2.09 to 2.11 ?

is it possible to update only the hboot ( stuck with 2.09 no RUU's for CID OPTUS001 ) , can it be done just by flashing the hboot img ?
If not is there any other way I can update my hboot ? thanks

Bricking
is there any risk that involves like bricking my phone if i tried to manually flash hboot.img file ?

It's possible that you might brick your phone by updating the HBOOT. I wouldn't do it. Why do you want to anyway?

JB
well I just wanted to try jb that’s all , since there is no 4.0.4 update for my phone I was thinking if I update my hboot from 2.09 to 2.11 I might have a chance installing JB

Installing JB that way will not work. You may want to try installing the RUU.

can we bypass the CID check in RUU ?

firmware.zip package from HTC for One S (Snapdragon S3, VilleC2). Follow the instructions, so you will update your hboot, radio, recovery, etc.

the problem is the cid
my cid is BSTAR301 and I can´t find a way to update anything on my phone. I stuck on 4.0.3

So what is your plan with a firmware?
If you are not s-off you can do absolutly NOTHING with a firmware.
This means with s-on you can´t go back neither with the firmware nor with the h-boot (wich is normally a part of the firmware).
You MUST go s-off before you can downgrade your firmware that´s the point.....also if your CID is matching

Oh really ? I never heard of that but I´m very interested about the process..
so can you please discribe exactly how to downgrade the firmware(h-boot, radio etc.) on HTC ONE MINI
with s-on if this works and is commonly used it would be great to hear more about that...
(so till now I was quite sure that you can´t downgrade to a lower version with an RUU)
http://hafizimtiaz.wordpress.com/20...android-4-4-2-to-android-4-3-return-to-stock/
and yes I know its for M7 but in this direction I think the rules for the M4 are the same.
Or does he mean a standalone firmware.zip wich is included in the OTA dumps?
If yes how it could be flashed? hmmmmm.....via fastboot?
greets

im s-off and also trying to downgrade, mainily to get my camera fixed. any method to downgrade would help alot

To downgrade the firmware when you are s-off is no problem....it´s done in a few minutes...
So what´s going wrong with your downgrade?

In the Theory We can do downgrade with s-on. So anyone have the signed firmware from ATT?

[Q]SuperCID on VilleC2

hello to all . i have a simple question... i don't have a stock sense rom accepted for Moonshine.. so in the case i want to do S-OFF i have to use rumrunner... but the only thing to i try S-OFF its to have the possibility to have SuperCID and use any RUU... so here come my questions:
1-. i don't find a thread to have SuperCID on villeC2.. so its impossible? can't use fastboot write cid 11111111 ?
2-. my model is pj40210, not the universal pj40200 this matter? can i run a ruu for pj40200 on my phone? can damage?
thats all. thanks

xiaolvmu said:
Aha, to find the stock ROM, you can go to http://www.androidruu.com. I always download VilleC2 RUU there.
S-Off is doesn't need supercid. Also, VilleC2 has a strange security lock and we can never write CID (even change the mmcblk0p13. Don't try it, too dangerous. I've tried to get supercid but failed).
The model seems doesn't matter.

exactly my CID doesn't have a RUU for download! how i can change my CID? please make a tutorial i don't need do it because i'm using your rom hehehehe.... but.... just in case.....

xiaolvmu said:
OK... @JavierG123
I already found an existing tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911
The only difference is, VilleC2 can't use 11111111. You can change it to HTC__044 (Asia Version)
Then, in this download page : http://androidruu.com/?developer=VilleC2
Download this: RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.15.707.101_Radio_16.21.20.02U_16.09.20.11_M2_release_289564_signed.exe
Then you can flash the pure RUU
ps: The Hex Editor on Windows is a paid software, so I'll give a cracked version
