How to get CID to work

OK I have read the guide on hoe to get cid BUT I have the latest update from t-mobile for the 4G when I run the adb and run it though I get an error message

When I check the CID it still labels it as T-MOBILE
any ideas on how to fix this

little more detail on what your trying to do? are you trying to get superCID? or you wanting to change back to orginal CID?

Trying to Get superCID
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

are you fully rooted,have s-off and eng 1.17 hboot?
if you have all those then its simple
simply reboot into fasboot(bootloader)
from cmd window
if you have adb set as environment then you can just type
8.enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
9. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)
10. enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]
11. enter the command "fastboot reboot"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if you dont have adb setup in environment then you have to go to the adb directory whever you installed it
eg.
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\
once in that directory then you can do superCID commands

I have 1.18 hboot
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

you need the eng boot to do fastboot commands, i suggest you read how to get rooted/or go back to eng boot then do superCID

So I have to re root my phone even though it was rooted after the update? Got a link to this eng boot
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

thats only if you lost root and dont have root, if you have root, and you still have s-off you can still go back to .17 eng boot

I had this too, what worked for me was:
install android terminal
open terminal
type: getprop cid.ro << this will show you your current cid, back it up.
use 4ext to reboot into bootloader, or adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot cid commands still work
when in bootloader:
open cmd and navigate to your android tools folder, then:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid << this should be 11111111 now.
fastboot reboot
Now you can flash any zip file you want.

A small hint: It should say 'getprop ro.cid' and not 'getprop cid.ro'...

Is there any way I can downgrade the hboot from 1.18 to 1.17

Are you s-off if so then yes

[Q] I need Help, my phone is bricked!!

Hello to all members of xda forum, my problem with my HTC DESIRE S is that I installed a ROM which may be unsuitable for my mobile, Because when I restart it, the screen remains blank with green logo "HTC". I reboot to fastboot mode it works, but when I chose the "recovery" option from fastboot menu, It didn't lead me to access clockmodwork recovery in order to uninstall the unsuitable "ROM", time after time, but in vain the screen turns white again!.
you dear members has to tell me what could I do, I really don't know what to do?
***additional info***
HTC DESIRE S
saga pvt ships s-off rl
hboot 6.98.1002
radio 3822.10.08.04_m
emmc-boot

you need to include more detail.which ruu did you try to install,what was the original version on the phone,what brand is the phone,what country did it come from. is the phone revolutionary s off ,xtc clipped or htc dev unlocked?much more info nobody can help you

You actually tried to install the ruu for sensation xl onto the desire s!!!
You're a brave one man!!!
Beamed from the Dark Side using xda premium.

surely if you flashed a sensation xl RUU it wouldn't work and it certainly looks like it.
Here are a list of fastboot commands. You could try flashing a new ROM.
fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall 'flash boot' + 'flash system'
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline

okay try to download 4ext app the link is here:
http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
this will give you a recovery without flashing through adb
---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------
or maybe you have not enabled usb debugging its under developer on the settings

As the post above says you can get 4EXT Recovery on your device , but first you will need an eng Hboot cause I think that is the cause of your problem. Got to the Unlimited.io website and click on downloads and down load the Hboot version for the pyramid and the version or Android you are using. Then use the following fastboot commands.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fasboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip
This should fix any fasboot issues or other ADB issues because all commands are usable with the eng Hboot.

well im stuck in the bootloader how would i use an .apk sorry if im a rookie and cant get to debug cuz i have nothing to boot off dam im not explaining it well i think lol

thx

Yes this means it does not allow all ADB and fastboot commands, this is why I mentioned the eng Hboot. It will say JuonutBear where it says LOCKED when you flash the eng Hboot.

No you just need to download the Ub_hboot.zip, then place it in the tools folder or what ever folder your fasboot is in. Then boot uourdevice to bootloader and select fastboot and connect your device via USB to your computer. Then use the fastboot commands I posted.

Yes that meansyou have the eng(engineered) Hboot which means it is UNLOCKED. You have to have a unlocked Hboot to use all the ADB and fastboot commands. But you have to be S-Off to flash the hboot, you are S-Off right? I ask cause some how you have missed installing it if you S-Offed with JuopunutBear S-Off.

Read the stickies in general and dev section, also read the posts with the [GUIDE] tag

you can do it via fastboot
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid (check if it says 11111111)
fastboot reboot

once i get it i will never get error once i flash it?

Won't boot into recovery

It all started yesterday where i was trying to update (InsertCoin) which for some reason made my phone shut down mid-way through the installation process...
I had to reboot my phone back into recovery to wipe system/cache/data to reinstall...For some reason this wiped/damaged everything but the bootloader ofc.
(Bye go all my pictures, whatsapp conversations etc...)
This made me not being able to boot into my recovery aswell
I still can't get back into my recovery, and i've tried flashing the recovery over and over again via fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
When i try to flash the recovery, it succeeds but when i try to boot into it, it blinks the splash screen with odd intervals, i dont know if this means that its trying over and over again...I'm sort of desperate here...any help?
sidenote here: I'm in linux

you should've updated firmware to hboot 2.22 needed for IC, then you need to install the latest recovery 2.7.1.1 from twrp website
twrp here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m4ul
new firmware here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759131

I have not updated it, will go and do that now,

Code:

Right.....!?
I really don't want to reboot to bootloader at the moment...since the update failed...

Apparently i am S-ON and therefor need to obtain s-off, but i don't have an android system installed..how

s-off required to flash firmware or if s-on, bootloader needs to be re-locked, sorry i assumed you knew that! maybe create a signature giving details of your device for future, it does help.
If you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.
Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
Open command prompt
Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
Connect device to the PC
In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Type: fastboot reboot
Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.

Code:
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
This ahappens when flashing the firmware
*edit: I have fixed that, but i cannot flash the 2.22 included y you because it has a different modelid, presumably because my m4 isn't the at&t variant.
Will this work?

no that firmware will not update everything that is required, use the firmware zip in the link i gave previously.
you need to change your cid to supercid,,,,very simple to do
Enter the command "fastboot oem readcid". Make a note of your original CID.
enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" make sure it is 8 ones (1)
enter the command "fastboot read cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]

Gosh...my device doesn't like me..
oh, wait, don't i have to unlock bootloader?
i'll try that now
OMG IM IN RECOVERY
cant seem to do anything with my data partition, same goes for internal storage

well you've done everything that i done when i tried out Insertcoin rom for a few days and never had any of your issues. so not sure whats going on.
- unlocked bootloader
- get s-off
- get supercid
- update firmware
- get latest twrp recoverry
- install Insert Coin
use the fix miniwhooper posted on her firmware thread ....Flash stock recovery and factory reset from boot loader. It will fix you /data partition.. then flash custom recovery and it should be fixed

Make sure you are in the folder your rom zip is located.
Run the command...
adb push filename.zip /sdcard
Wait around 10 minutes as it will not give you progress
go back to TWRP main page and install, choose SDcard and the zip file you just uploaded should be there.
