S-Off and SuperCID

First step to get s-off is to confirm you have SuperCID... how can I confirm that? I am pretty sure I did that when I started with the phone but I don't remember... Any help?

[Q] Wrong CID

Hi all,
I feel like I have looked everywhere and cannot find an answer for this. I have an at&t one x that is rooted and unlocked with a custom rom, however I somehow changed my cid from supercid 11111111 to htc__001. Is it possible to get supercid 11111111 back or at least wsc__001 so I can run the correct ruu on it.
Thank you in advance for any ideas or help

Just do s off then it will bypass cid... But I think you can do fastboot oem write cid 11111111( don't know how many ones there are)

fastboot eom writecid "htc__001" or whatever you want it to be minus quotations while in fastboot.

there's 8 characters in the CID

You can change the CID the old "manual" method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671396
Or if you do S-off, you can just change the CID with a fastboot command.
Sounds like you were one of the folks that changed to the quad core CID so you can flash a ROM from that phone. Scary.

I will try the manual fix, thank you!
I did not read everything I should have in the beginning. I was trying to run a ruu back to stock and did not know I could have done that with supercid ( which I had at the time) and thought I had to change the cid back to original and mistakenly thought HTC__001 was correct. After I realized WSC__001 was actually the correct original cid and now i can't change back in fastboot without errors. I got to comfortable and got ahead of myself.......

You don't need S-off to use the fastboot command to change it from what I understand you just need to have Super CID.

Right but without s-off, you can only do it once, away from SuperCID. After that, you're stuck.
OP has neither s-off nor SuperCID, which means he needs the exploit.

Back at SuperCID 11111111, thank you everyone.

Just load and flash. Once you're s-off, you can flash whatever you want.

Went with ViperXL 3.2.6 and love it! Thanks to all who helped!

[Q] So confused, have some questions.

I just got a AT&T HTC One X, and I never dealt with a HTC before (mostly Samsung). Right now the HTC is pure stock AT&T firmware 1.85. I need some helping guiding me what steps to take cause I'm confuse by it all. This is what I have so far from my research:
Step 1: RUU to 2.20? (not entirely sure on this)
Step 2: Use toolkit to get root
Step 3: Not sure which method to use but I need Supercid to 22222222 because HTCdev blocked AT&T and 11111111.
Step 4: Unlock Bootloader
Step 5: S-OFF, (is facepalm compatible with AT&T X?)
Step 6: Flash roms and have fun.
I appreciate any help and please tell me if I miss some steps.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709296 <--- root method for 1.85 I would try that before RUUing up to 2.20
I would try 11111111 first since that's what SuperCID gives you be default. If that doesn't work, then I would fastboot oem writecid 22222222 You can only change CID once without S-OFF so make sure to enter it right.
Other than that, you seem to be on the right path.
S-OFF directions are in the onexl orig. android dev. section so yes, compatible.
Good Luck, don't brick.

The 1.85 root seems a bit more complicated than the toolkit for 2.20. Which SuperCid method should I use then?

Hey Exad, the day has come when I need to ask your advice on something. I'm gonna RUU up to 3.18 then downgrade my TS firmware so I can have a look at these new Carbon builds running the 3.4 kernel (which don't play nice with my current setup). So I need to gain SuperCID in order to s-off, having a Hong Kong issue phone on 1.85 never required me to have SuperCID in order to root. Anyway long story short, my question is: I should be able to just issue the following fastboot command in order to gain SuperCID right?
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
That should be fine yeah?

No, only if you have already achieved s-off, you can change by "fastboot oem writecid" Have to hex edit it if not.

I think he meant BEFORE achieving s-off, you can change your cid ONCE. However, after gaining s-off, you can change ur cid as many as you want.

Good morning! ^_^
So, here's the scoop. After you Super CID, you can change your CID 1 time using fastboot oem writecid if you are S-ON
If you are S-OFF you can use that command as many times as you like.
If you have not already SuperCID'd and you are S-ON you would need to SuperCID first either by running the exploit script or hexiditing your CID manually.
I think that's what Thug_4_Life was trying to say too.

Exad will correct me if I'm wrong. But this was only true for ATT models. they weren't able to change cid, hence why it takes so long for ATT users so long to find an exploit then change cid.
That's why any other carriers are able to root no problem, there's far less restrictions. Beings he has one from hong Kong, I would imagine he can rewrite the cid because if this.
Personally I would give it a shot.
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
However beings we had a supercid script I don't know what happens if it doesn't write.. Fail I suppose

No, even non ATT phones follow the same restrictions, the only difference is HTCDev allows other carriers to unlock through HTCDev without having to SuperCID.
Since S-OFF requires CID to be 11111111 I wrote that Hex guide so we could change our CID to gain S-OFF too.
