I have a sensation that was locked to orange, i S-Off'd and rooted, and un sim-locked but after the screen started playing up i decided to to unroot and S-On, in case of any warranty issues. When i S-On'd i flashed a stock HTC Europe ROM, if returning for repairs can i use this ROM or do i need to use the stock Orange ROM?
Also when device is in HBOOT, above Pyramid PVT Ship S-On RL it says ***LOCKED***, what does this mean? Does it mean it is not completely back to stock? I cannot see what it means as the device is no longer simlocked as it takes a Tmobile sim.
Thanks

Actually it means that you are back to stock. I take you still have super cid as you flashed different ruu? That would be an instant giveaway that you've tampered with your phone if they happen to check it.

Yeah, i used supercid, i wasnt sure how to find the specific cid for the stock ROM, if i use the correct cid for that ROM will it remove any traces?
Thanks
Thing is now you can't change cid as you are s-on LOL. Keep looking for your original RUU, then s-off, change cid to original one and flash stock RUU.

CID
Can somebody explain how I can return my CID to default before I run the RUU for my region.
I know my CID was HTC__001 and I have checked the guide in the dev section but it just say to run the command
fasttboot oem writesecureflag 3 which I think turn S-on??
Yeah i understand i need to return to S-Off thats not the problem, how do i find the cid for the stock ROM? Orange UK 1.35.61.1

Thanks a lot! Exactly what i needed, will be flashing stock Orange ROM pronto!
One other thing, If i have any trouble with my phone, as it is sim unlocked by myself, can they tell this even with S-On, Stock ROM and CID? I know that if you go in there they often ask for you phone number etc, (i could just get a free orange PAYG sim and stick it in if i ever have any trouble) and if i tell them it and its flags up as a Tmobile number will they refuse to repair as well (as they can tell it wouldve been unlocked)? Also the phone was off ebay and i have no proof of purchase, but its in an orange branded box and the phone has orange branding on the back, should this be legitimate proof?
Thanks
My phone was unbranded when I bought it so I can't answer your questions, sorry. I hope some one comes and helps.
Let me know if it works OK to get your CID back to your default, I need to do mine tonight but I'm a bit wary of doing it and the whole RUU process.

I have just S-Off'd and written the CID, seems no problem and i am just about to flash the ROM, i shall update you in a mo.
Just follow this guide and you should be fine!

Just finished flashing the ROM, everything seems ok, although i now need to edit APN settings as Im using a Tmobile sim and an Orange ROM. Good luck and let us know how you get on, it is reasonably straighforward!
All sorted no problems at all, I just restored stock ROM then changed my CID back to HTC__001 then I put s-on and viola back to stock phone.
Sucks when your used to custom ROMs

Its HTC__001 ,the one you are looking for.
11111111 is SuperCID, if you send it back with that CID, they can tell you've been fiddling..
Are you completely sure HTC_001 is the unlocked cid in Denmark aswell? Coz there's a way to flash it back

OK, so I am learning android (using HD2 now) and from what I understand when you use the htc boot loader unlocker you end up with a "tampered" warning somewhere that will let htc or your carrier know that you have unlocked your bootloader.
Does having s-off help you to be able to trick the phone from knowing that you have been into it if you flash it back to stock?
I am just worried about keeping insurance on the phone if once I unlock or s-off they will no longer cover it.

I think that particular device will say, tampered. Soff is like security off you can fash roms and do many things with soff but no it does not trick the device into thinking its not tampered. With my device I can s on return to stock but I'm not sure about yours.
It might have tampered marked on it.

It doesn't set a "tampered" flag. The stock bootloader has a caption at the top of *locked*. When you use htcdev to unlock the bootloader it will change that caption to *unlocked* and it cannot be undone.
S-off, on the other hand, does not notify HTC or your carrier of what you have done. It is also reversible if you really need to set things back to full stock.

When you use HTC Dev to unlock your bootloader it does show Unlocked on the Hboot screen. But if you re lock the bootloader it displays re locked on the Hboot screen and not locked as it is originally. S-off can be reversed with out any trace of it being S-off. And now that the unbricking project has come up with a way to recover your de ice if going S-on soft bricks your device it is way less dangerous now.
At realsis, think about S-off as being like HSPL for the HD2.
I believe someone has figured out what was being set differently, and you can in fact return to "locked"

Go on........
Don't know if this works for the Sensation, but if someone is trying to go back to locked hboot, give it a try.
Go back to totally stock. Flash a RUU, preferably GB so that you have an earlier hboot that can be easily S-OFFed again.
fastboot oem write secureflag 3
Reboot and you should be S-ON again. AGAIN, MAKE SURE YOU ARE TOTALLY STOCK WITH A SHIP HBOOT OR YOU WILL BRICK.
Use revolutionary to S-OFF again. Hopefully, you will be locked at this point.
If not, repeat, but use JuopunutBear to S-OFF.
If you're still unlocked, this method doesn't work on the Sensation.
I can't even re-unlock the bootloader for some reason either.

I mistakenly used the JBFW tool on my AT&T branded phone (CID: CWS__001) to change the CID to HTC__001, not realizing that my phone was still S-ON and the CID changing option was apparently for S-OFF only. I had root, I had the bootloader unlocked. Now I can't even get into recovery, and I think since my CID is apparently stuck as HTC__001, that the RUU for my phone's actual CID won't work. I should note that before I relocked the bootloader, I tried to change my CID back to the SuperCID but it would just freeze the phone. That's why I tried to relock it, hoping it would help. I thought I could just unlock it again, but it won't work. I can't flash anything via ADB, it all fails. This is the RUU I was trying to use:
RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_Cingular_US_2.20.502.7_Radio_0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L_release_271865_signed.exe
and I got a Wrong Customer ID error.
Is there anything I can do to remedy this situation or am I at the warranty center's mercy? Thank you in advance for any help.
im in the same boat, hopefully we get some help here soon, ive got another phone on the way from the warranty center but they want the one i have now and if they see its been tampered there gonna send me a bill for the full price of the phone. wish i could help.

Just to let you know our (The HTC One XL). Super Cid is 1111111 (I'm pretty sure it's seven 1's?). In any case you should not be looking at the One X (Tegra) forums and much rather look at the One XL/ATT One X forums unless you enjoy staring at a $600 paperweight.

I wasn't able to change my CID back to the SuperCID via any method I could find. And I don't think the CID was "properly" changed/spoofed to HTC__001, but I definitely could still get verified tokens from HTCDev. The problem was that I couldn't re-unlock it by pushing the .bin via ADB because it just failed. Since I'd upgraded less than a week ago, I was able to convince the semi-clueless guy at AT&T to exchange my One X.

At the moment there is not.
At the very least you need to be able to gain temp root access in order to change the CID to allow you unlock it through htcdev.
The error you get is because AT&T don't allow bootloader unlock through htcdev.

Is that something new that came with the ota update? I only ask because prior at&t evita one x's (2.20.502.7 ruu) had no issues with the htcdev unlock process
No it's been that way since the beginning.
With the 2.20 RUU there was an exploit so you could change your cid to another carrier or supercid which allowed you to unlock it through htcdev.
You still couldn't unlock it if it still had AT&T's cid on the device.

I'd like to post directly on that thread but I'm a noob and don't have the minimum number of posts...
Any help appreciated
Bump
If you have the latest ota update, you will be unable to gain temp root. You have to change your CID to be able to unlock bootloader with HTC dev. Unless you were s-off, there is no way at this time to accomplish this.

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.

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
