Hi,
If I check in fastboot I get CID 11111111 which I set myself during the setup of a custom ROM.
If I check with CID Getter application I get HTC__E11 my original CID.
Which one should I trust?
Also, anybody know if having a super CID would void the warranty? have to return my phone for repair so cleaning it up. All is different now is the CID.
Thanks a lot for your help!

I would trust the one that you get it fastboot as the one you get from CID getter is the one that is in the build.prop of your ROM.
S-OFFing would void your warranty. You need S-OFF to set SuperCID so there. Connect the dots
thanks!
Guess that's a typo and you meant S-OFF voids the warranty. You are right, if I can connect the dots they can do it as well would they check the CID
Need to find a way to change the CID back. Does not allow me to S-off now with revolutionary coz I think I use a too recent RUU (saw some related threads). Will try with an older RUU version.
Cheers,

YES! I meant S-OFF. That was embarrassing
I think you can just write CID just like how you SuperCID'd but writing proper CID instead of 11111111. I haven't done it myself so I can't help you there.
Just go to viper's thread here. He has instructions for S-ONing

Be sure to flash a proper ruu first, or you might end up bricking your device turning s on

yep, already got it working.
I guess in my case the writecid was not working because I was back to S-ON and no root anymore
So, I flashed again the 1.50.401.1 ROM WITHOUT accepting the update, S-off, root, change the CID, flash the 1.50.401.1 again, change back to S-ON with the writesecureflag 3. Device can go now to repair.
Thanks for the help, great forum and info sources!

Using htcdev keeps the phone S-ON. You'll still be able to run custom roms, but can't flash a new radio.

I refered to a you tube video " How to S-off htc desire s" the first video that shows up. My phone is already rooted using the hdc dev kit, however when I am trying to do s-off the software gives just a message "Error". It also fails at signature.
do let me know what more information can I provide.
If you have a guide that I can try and share the results with you do send me that as well. I am new to rooting the phone, so sorry for not providing any info that is required.
You either htcdev unlock or you s-off
You'll now need to relock your phone to undo the htcdev and then downgrade you phone in order to properly s-off using revolutionary.
There are various downgrade guides in the index, see link on my signature

No, it's S-ON, but writable on /system partition due to HTCDev unlock. It only means that you don't know the difference between S-OFF, rooting and HTCDev unlock - and misleading others.

Then please tell me why my Bootloader says:
*unlocked*
SAGA PUT SHIP S-OFF RL
S-OFF ... Security off
Rooting ... Grant root for the device, like su on linux
HTCDev unlock ... unlocks the bootloader
But its ok I just tried to help...
Then you can try to avoid confusion providing more detailed info, like:
"I have used XTC Clip to gain S-OFF, then used htcdev.com, without any particular reason, then got rooted by SuperOneClick"
Your previous post can mislead some non advanced users that SOC can provide S-OFF, without using additional tools.

Ok..
I unlocked my HTC Desire S following the instructions on HTCDev.com. Afterwards I rooted the Phone,installed Busybox and installed ClockworkMod Recovery using the SuperOneClick tool for Windows 7.
And now I am able to flash Rom and Radios.
Nope to upgrade your Radio you have to be S-OFF
Maybe it was shipped with S-OFF because I had a brandig first.
I doubt that it was shipped S-OFF and even if, why would you unlock it with HTCdev ?

And you can flash radios only because you had a phone which already was S-OFF, either during manufacturing or by XTC-Clip, and you just didn't understand it and uselessly unlocked it while you could have done whatever you wanted with it. And S-OFF is the only reason you can flash radios, and HTCDev unlock didn't actually add anything and didn't allow you anything - just as it won't allow any non-S-OFF user to flash radios, and won't turn S-ON to S-OFF. But what do I know, I was just passing here.

It is unlikely, but certainly possible. In the early days of Desire S development (back when we had to use the XTC-Clip hardware to obtain S-Off) there were some people who got their devices brand new already S-Off.
ok, back to the topic:
the simpliest way to gain s-off without xtc-clip is to downgrade the bootloader to HBOOT 0.98, and gain S-OFF with Revolutionary. After you did this you can run the latest ruu, which doesn't influence wether your s-off or s-on. Finally, you've got a device with hboot 2.02 and s-off.
After using revolutionary you are already S-OFF!
If you want to upgrade your HBOOT don't run a RUU AFAIK it could brick your device ... use this tutorial

I have to disagree @Jack_R1 the unlock via htcdev wasn't completely useless as it managed to void his HTC warranty! :laugh: logging that fact with HTC in the process!

Hi all, I had to re-install a stock rom from an HTC RUU. Prior to that I was HTC unlocked, HBOOT 1.27, firmware 3.33, rooted, custom ROMs.
Right now the bootloader is re-locked, HBOOT 1.29, european stock 3.33.401.106 with 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M radio.
The objective is to re-gain S-OFF and go trough all the way to custom ROM again.
I was thinking to execute fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
To my understanding this should clear off the relocked flag.
At this point to go to htcdev and proceed with that like I did already once.
Probably the above is too simple to work, but the whole JuopunutBear timing thing is a bit an issue having tried already in ther past.
Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated.

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 returns bootloader to S-ON, it wont help you.
The only way to S-OFF 1.2x.xxxx HBOOT versions is JuopunutBear S-OFF. Oh and did you know you dont have to be S-OFF to flash ROMs, search for the Flashing ROMs with S-ON guide and follow it.
Jonny, thank you for your input. To be honest I did not know that it was possible flashing with S-OFF, I will look into this.
From you answer I understand that JuopunutBear S-OFF can be used the same also in the case the device was already S-OFF and relocked.
Thanks again.

you have hboot version 1.29.0000 yes? This means that the easier revolutionary method wont work on your phone (revolutionary is GingerBread only), so the only possible way to S-OFF on your phone is with the JuopunutBear method.
To get rid of the relocked text on the bootloader you need to flash the JuopunutBear hboot (which you can only do after S-OFF) then run an RUU. This will make the text say "LOCKED" again
How do you s-off without superCID? The main thread on xda that I saw involved superCID first.
And are there any downsides to superCID?

why do you want to gain s-off without supercid?
if you want to take the work to gain s-off supercid is the easiest thing to do.
and after s-offing you can easly change your cid back to yuor default one

Sorry, let me rephrase it. Do you need to have superCID before you s-off? Some sites say you do, but other people have said that they s-off first.

From my understanding, SuperCID is part of the procedure of going S-Off. You don't do it "before" or "after."
What is your aversion to SuperCID? As far as I can tell, it's very easy, not any more difficult than other procedures involved with rooting and custom ROMs.
Personally, I used facepalm, so I'm not familiar with moonshine, but you should look into it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325590
hello everyone, android user and my device s-off in the first year I want to do but how to do it without the support of htcdev? Is there a program available? When I unlock my device also has root? Am I going to root sturdy at the same time to s-off? I just want to get rid of device applications that official. 5 4.2.2 installed on my device, this device can sense it possible to root for?
Thank you.
I think you're confused as to what s-off is and unlocking is, they're two entirely different things. You don't use htcdev to get s-off. You use htcdev to unlock your bootloader, and no you cannot unlock your bootloader without htcdev. Unlocking your bootloader doesn't give you root, after unlocking the bootloader you must install a custom recovery and then you can gain root. After gaining root you can get SuperCID and then you can get s-off. If all you want to do is remove some system apps, then you'll just need to unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery, and install root.

You don't need s-off to delete bloatware (pre-installed apps). Just use HTCDev.com to unlock the bootloader. Then install custom recovery, then either flash SU or a rooted ROM to get root.
The process to s-off is simple (see Facepalm method in the Original Android Development subforum). However, it requires SuperCID. Since the CID is protected on Sense 5, you will not be able to SuperCID (and therefore S-off).
But as already mentioned, you don't need S-off to root and delete bloatware.
I'm at a loss and somewhat confused.
I read in one place that I need to s-off to update my radio, but in order to do that I need super-cid.
so I'm trying to change my cid from ROGER001 to 11111111.
Now I'm reading that I can s-off without super-cid? All I'd like to do is update my radio and kernel so my phone stops losing signal and stops rebooting. I should also mention that I already went to htcdev and unlocked my bootloader.
What I see in fastboot:
TAMPERED
UNLOCKED
Evita PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.14.0000
RADIO-0.23a.32.09.29
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
eMMC-boot
Viper Xl 4.2.0(amazing Rom btw)
HTC Sense 5.0
I have tried the script, it failed, manual method, that failed.
manual method gets me this result after I fastboot oem readcid(ok), fastboot oem writecid 11111111

Nope, wherever you read that, its completely incorrect.
It says right in the s-off method instructions, in big bold print that SuperCID is required: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
If you are having trouble with s-off, the other solution to random reboots on Sense 5 is to install the Beastmode kernel.

The x-factor exploit fails since its looking for the AT&T CID. For other CIDs, you need to edit it manually using the hex edit method.
If you have trouble with installing Beastmode, I think some folks have had to install Beastmode 2.0 before installing 3.5.
After many attempts, boot loops beastmode reloaded 3.5 finally took.
So now I need to ask if I need s-off, i've done everything except upgrade my radio.
I'll only update my radio if the antenna drops keeps dropping out.
Well, radio went out, no reboots yet, I'll see what else I can try.
no i want to only rooting device, this video help me ? cause title for htc one."but my device hox"

No it won't work, it's not for this phone. Only ever use guides specifically for this device or you could brick it. As I've already told you, you absolutely cannot root this device without unlocking the bootloader through htcdev first. I'm not sure why you're still searching for ways to do it, they do not exist. There's no point in coming here for advice if you don't even listen to the answers you're given.
