[Q] Supercid

i've been roaming the HTC One S forums a lot lately, and i've been seeing 'supercid'... i've tried researching on numerous websites but can't quite understand what it is? was wondering if anyone could explain what it is exactly and what it does... thanks

each One S has a CID number, This relates to which country / region the device is from. HTC__001 means HTC Generic Unbranded, As it left the factory, Now most carriers change this to make the phone run their branded software and to receive their branded OTA updates.
Example, Mine is VODAP100 - Which means i can only get updates from Vodafone, not HTC, If i change that to HTC__001 i can get updates from HTC and not Vodafone.
If you change it to 11111111 (superCID) then you will bypass the CID check It also allows you to flash ANY RUU from anywhere in the world allowing you to run, for instance, UK software on a US model or any combination for that matter.
So say there is a Firmware upgrade that is released in the US, It includes various bug fixes and is required to upgrade to a higher Android version, But your in Hong Kong and cannot get this update, You can change your CID and be able to flash this firmware (S-OFF maybe needed)

damn man thats as good of an explanation as am gonna find anywhere! thanks man! how do I change my phones CID btw? am on TMOUS ..thanks again

T-Mob DE HTC one S Z520e

Hello everyone.
I am trying to find a Z520e for a long time but unfortunately all the providers in my country only have the z560e.
I finally found in the market a z520e which is from T-Mobile DE of I am not wrong.
My question is that since the phone is Tmob branded, does this mean that I might have any issues? In my HTC desire I remember that branded phones had to have goldcards etc when flashing. Does this occur to the One S as well or can I flash let's say the viper S Rom without any issues to be concerned?
Am I gonna be able to change the Tmob Rom with the current official HTC WWE update?
Best regards,
T.

I have a T-Mobile one and have no problems flashing and rooting.

Ok, but can you flash the WWE Rom without root or only the tmob version?
I will root for sure, but I want to be sure that in case of warranty I will be able to find the stock ROM.
Also, do you know if Tmob z520e have the new housing that is not prone to chipping? Is there any picture to see the actual differences?
I have been searching for so long for a z520e..

You'll need to root first and then change CID in order to be able to flash any other RUU than the official TMO one. EVenif you lock the bootloader again, it'll show 'tampered'.

Thanx again mate..
So if the serial number is bigger than SH/HT24 or 25 it will be the revised version?? Which one did you have from Tmob DE??
Also, do you run custom ROM like Viper S? how much space do you have left after clean install?

[Q] Software number issues

I am trying to go back to stock and just found out that my software number is 1.45.531.1 which is of "T-Mobile US (United Kingdom)" but I am in India so I am trying to flash x.xx.720.x RUU, but it shows an error... so please help me how do I flash the "Asia India" RUU ??

You can only run the RUU which can match with your phone's CID. If you want to run any RUU other than your CID, you must super CID your phone..
Have you read that guide thoroughly? Are you S-Off..??

Then you should supercid your phone. Flash the ruu and you should be sorted pal.
Edit: hang on what error are you getting? If its 131 I believe that is cid if not then its another issue.

[Q] - S-off failed - need guidance

HI all,
I am sorry if this question may have been asked before but I have followed the instruction on [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA
but I still can not get the S-OFF.
I use the toolkit : [ROOT] HTC One X AT&T 2.20 Firmware - X-Factor root exploit
I believe my phone is rooted but I can not get the S-OFF. in the bootloader it said "Temppered" unlocked but the S-on
Can I please get some direction on what I did wrong?
Cheers
I want to flash either the telstra stock or the Clean rom I beleieve. I am not sure which one to try but I want the one with the closest to the stock but the optimised version of the stock.
Thanks
Arda

"Tampered' means you are rooted. That is a good thing.
What step of the S-off process are you stuck on? Any error messages?
Did you confirm you have SuperCID?

Cheers for the reply.
The steps which failed was when I had to confirm the restore. This is on the process getting the superCID.
I accepted the restore but on the screen on the phone the restore said "restore starting" and then few seconds later it said "restore end" as if restore does not get completed.

Do you actually have an AT&T version of the One X, or another carrier?

Ha, I called that one! The use of "cheers" had me thinking you were not an American. Its the dual core version of the One X/XL right?
X-factor only works for the AT&T version. X-factor is failing to change the CID because (I think) its looking for the AT&T CID (CWS_001) and not finding it.
I think you have to change the CID the "manual" way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671396
Instead of CWS_001, of course you will be looking for your carrier's ID (whatever that is).

Yes I am in from the land of down under
So do I just follow exactly what that guide is?
Do I need to have the S-OFF to be able to successfully flash firmware?

okay now I have followed the tutorial above and when I check my CID is now 1111111 because I changed it in the hex edittor and pushed it again back.
when I reboot it still came up with the S-ON
I am not sure if this is done for me?
any suggestions is much appreciated
thanks

OK, so now your supercid go through the s-off process again....

THANK YOU!!!
got the S-OFF displayed now and CID 11111111
so if I want to flash firmware (closest to stock), which tutorial should I follow?
any recommendation for :
1. ICS version which is very stable?
2. JB which is very stable?
I am using my phoen for internet browsing, skype, WhatsUp and also emailing most of the time.
Any recommendation is greatly appreciated
Cheers

At this point pretty much every Rom is stable. I don't think there are any ics roms in active development anymore. If you like close to stock go look at the roms in the android development section. They are mostly all sense based and each brings its own tweaks to the table

Don't muck around with firmware... HBoot versions etc. don't matter much once you have s-off.
If you like sense roms, Cleanrom is great (very close to stock) or ViperXL (much more customisable). You'll find both these in the Android Development thread. For a more native Android experience I'm loving Liquid Smooth, available in Android Original Development.
Good luck!

thanks it is a great guide
but i dont have mmcblk0p4 and Latest 2.20 firmware ruu

You only need your old mmcblk0p4, if you want to change back to the AT&T CID.
If you just want to unroot, just relock the bootloader, and run the 2.20 RUU (assuming you rooted on 2.20 or earlier firmware).
Don't run the 3.18 RUU, as doing so with S-on and SuperCID will brick the phone. Also, if your bro ever tries to install the Jellybean OTA or RUU, it will brick the phone (with S-On and SuperCID). The way to prevent this from happening, would be to manually change the CID back (you can look in Development for how to do it).

International version and one xl are not the same. Look in the hboot and tell me what name you see:Endeavouru or Evita. Also is your phone dual core or quad core.

I believe if you have SuperCID or S-off, it will. Otherwise, no.
Also, if the hboot version of the RUU is lower than what is on the phone, it will fail to install.
And to reiterate, if you are SuperCID, and S-on, running some RUUs may brick you. So be careful.
Is there an RUU available for your version? If so, the easiest thing to do is just relock the bootloader and run the right RUU. Since you do not have the AT&T version, its probably not SuperCID. Although I would still verify, to be safe.

Need CID or carrier version. The radio is the only thing useful there, and that particular radio was used on several firmware versions/RUUs.
Might be RUU for Telus Australia 3.17.841.2, but its not certain:
