I cant change my cid with super cid or any other cid
Just How Can I flash THIS rom?

Is this question so hard? no answer after 27 view?

Goldcard ?

If you've not tried the goldcard method yet try that.
And make sure not to use GoldCard Helper's built in Menu > Copy CID tool, because for me it copied the wrong one. The CID for MMC2 is the one you need.

@ayene
I replied to your other thread how to create a gold card, you have ignored that.
I am unsure if you are unable to boot into the ROM but I am assuming you are booting directly into fastboot and cant.
You can fix your problem by one of these methods.
1) Download this RUU and install it, then create a goldcard (by using your phone, since you are now able to boot into the ROM) and then install the RUU you are trying to install in your post.
2) Create a gold card on the PC have a look here then install the RUU in your first post.

No man. I don't ignore that. With your nice help I can install ruu and other thing. I thank u very very Much. Just I don't know how to install the special ruu. OK. U said use gold card. OK I will try it. Thank a lot.

I use goldcardtool not GoldCard Helper and make a goldcard. But when i want to install the RUU it said cid code error. Please Help.

@ayene
Go the the market, get the app GoldCard Helper, the app you used only has the options for mmc0/1. If you look at post 4 in this thread it says use mmc2 i.e. "adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid"
So get the app here, then use the mmc2 number. NOT MMC0!!!

I will do that after my work(Job) finishe. what is different between mmc0 or 1 or 2?

mmc0 is your phones physical memory (where the system lives/apps are installed/user data etc.) mmc2 is the memory card.

oh no
again it say customer id error.
let me say my problem maybe another solution.
I flash almost all the ported ics roms. in all of them , wifi dont work. it says enabling and stay on it. i cant connect to any wifi. one of the man had same problem and he said if i flash this ruu and ofter that the ics , wifi will work. but I cant install the RUU.

Did you unlocked your phone via htcdev?
If so, you maybe need to flash the boot.img separately after flashing the ROM (Ruu)

I did that but not work. maybe I should both unlock and make goldcard?
the RUU dont flash so flash boot.img wont help, I think.
I mean after update radio and signing it says cid error. So just flash boot.img wont help.

I need assistance on how to get back to my stock Gingerbread ROM. HTC Sensation XE

I have my HTC Sensation XE which has originally the 2.3.4 Gingerbread.
I would like to have an assistance on how to do it?
Do I need to flash specific firmwares? Where could I get it? and is it safe to use the backup I made before with that Gingerbread Rom?
Thank you.
I used SUPERCID method.. Therefore I'm not exactly sure whats my CID number and RUU but im pretty sure its either HTC__038 or HTC__044 asia or wwe_asia.
If it helps , I had some Starhub apps, Singtel or whatever, so I assume its more of an HTC__044 CID number?
Thank you.

If you did superCID you don't need to worry about which ruu you use. There is a stock GB ruu link in the s-on section of the sticky guide to everything in the dev forum.

OK, you can find your original cid by entering "getprop ro.cid" in terminal emulator.

I had changed my CID when i rooted mine i used supercid method and changed it to 11111111 i forgot my original ru. Im nt sure exactly too if its wwe_asia or asia but im sure its either of the two. I had Starhub app too so i have a premonition that it could be htc__044 or asiawwe singapore version.
Im confused lol. I Want to go back to my stock ruu and cid. Or least the cid so i could restore my backup if possible. Then if ever i ota update. Less prblems could be encountered.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio

What are the steps I need to do?
Which to flash? any firmware?
THank you.

This is a prime example of making sure you check for the RUU BEFORE you flash anything new
Do what is said above and it will tell you your original CID. We can then see if we can find the RUU

Good luck. I just updated my xe to ics by simply reading a lot of posts on this site. And simply following all instructions.
At first tho, I mistakenly flashed sensation and not sensation xe. But again, found the correct files here on this site. All sorted and now have beats audio back, now with sense and ics latest.
So many helpful people here, so I hope you too get your fine sorted to the way you want yours. Although curious as to why you wanna go back to gb.
Surely ics is better?

hi
hi guys, do you have any link for official Gingerbread RUU 1.73 with beats audio for sensation XE? i just turn my sensation XE to s-on and flash the RUU but i flashed a wrong ruu.thanks guys.i want to update my sensation XE to ics through system update

Are you S-ON again now? If so, you'll need to S-OFF before you can flash the XE RUU (which you can find here):
https://www.yousendit.com/download/M3BtWmd2YWJ6NE5qQTlVag

Its already 1111111 for my CID. Im planning to go back to stock gb so i can get the ota ics and try it out.

Yes my phone is s-on again, so how do I flash the ruu?and just s-off? No need to do rooting?thanks

Help ~ Loop boot
I was gonna revert to my stock Gingerbread 2.3.4, I was trying to achieve ICS 4.x and Cyanogen mod 9, but I n00bed it up and wound up in a boot loop. I've read several different tutorials and I gathered I need to flash back to Stock GB. Do I just need a link to a Stock GB that fits my CID?
CID = T-MOB010
No Super CID
No RUU
Thanks much

yes yes stock GB would do ..also ..you have stock ICS for that cid too want that ?
GB RUU for TMOB USA
ICS RUU for TMOB USA (post #1 section #3 has the link to RUU's)
but
care to explain more what happened ?..it probably might be a small solution
small details would do ..
complete details present in the bootscreen (a screenshot would do too)
also
a complete output of the following command (except IMEI and serail number)
fastboot getvar all
then i can give you a perfect solution

for RUU ..you need to connect the phone in bootloader to pc ..and then just double click on it ...that will do
one last try for flashing custom rom ..still not worked then go for RUU
btw what recovery you are using ?
if using cwm ...can you switch to 4EXT recovery ?
get the recovery image from the below db link (recovery.img inside the zip)
4EXT DB link
and flash it via fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
got to the recovery
4EXT->wipe|format->format all partitions except sdcard
then back to main menu ...and flash the rom (what ever custom rom you want)
then reboot and see..if it still stuck at boot logo
then extract the boot.img from the rom zip file
and flash it manually
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot
still stuck ?
then reflash the firmware (be sure to check the md5 of the firmware you have downloaded)
still stuck?
then RUU

No-Go

So it wouldn't let me flash 4ext, it says: "cannot load 'recovery.img'" I didn't unzip it or even leave the zip in the root, I took only the recovery.img and left it in to sd root.
You said to flash the custom ROM, but this is my first attempt, and although I have downloaded CM9, the instructions I have read from other tutorials tell me I have to upgrade first to firmware 3.32, then to firmware 3.33, then I can install CM9, which will give me ICS/4.x Am I correct so far?
I don't even know if the 3.32 flash was a success (Do you?) since now I am in a boot loop. Could it be because I should have used the TMOUS instead of the non-TMOUS universal for 3.32? I picked the non-TMOUS because I didn't realize what TOUS stood for at the time, and the other link said universal (and the android-info had my cid/mid)
Also thanks for the RUU links, but I don't know what good the ICS will do if I don't have it yet. Those RUU's will do what exactly? Update to the latest ROM ? Also, is that for all roms or just 3rd party? Looking at the getvar log I sent you, I gather the 3.32 did work, So I should download the ICS 3.32 RUU link you sent me. That's what I am going to try now
EDIT
________________________________
I re-installed cm9, AND EUREKA!!!!!! My first custom ROM. Many thanks to all who helped! Now which RUU do I use, and how often should I run it?

RUU is rom update utility.. It's official htc file
Ruu is complete software for your phone
It wipes everything.. Rom, recovery firmware.. Everything and flashes the corresponding stock One...
So when you run ics ruu.. You will have complete ics stock rom of tmobile US
And the recovery flash you did earlier was wrong..
You need to keep that recovery file in the adb folder (it should be in pc) Then the command will fetch the file.. As you have kept it on top of sdcard.. It can't find it..

Tampered: no stock recovery

VLE: Ville: HTC One S
S-ON: security on
Radio: your radio Version
You have to lock your bootloader.
Download the all in one toolkit which you can find in the development section. There are all necessary files.
Be sure you have installed the HTC sync driver.
1. Connect your mobile To your pc when your are in the screen where you can see hboot version etc.
2. There should be "hboot USB" in blue.
3. Navigate to hboot and press power.
4. It should change to "fastboot USB" in red.
5. Then open the all in one toolkit on your PC.
6. Open the folder where ADB and fastboot exe are located.
7. Press shift and right click somewhere in the folder and open the command line.
8. Then type in "fastboot oem lock"
9. If you take a look to your phone you should see that the "unlock" changed To "relocked"
That was the first step.
10. Go To the development section in this forum and look for the wwe europe ville ics ruu 2.31 or sth like that.
11. Download the file
12. Doubleklick the file
13. Follow the instructions
14. Let the ruu install everything
15. If everything works fine you should be on official ICS 4.0.4 with Sense 4.1 now
Good luck!
I hope I wrote an easy understandable instruction.
If u experience any problems feel free to post it here.
I'm sure I or someone else can help you.

glad to hear that I helped you.
Tampered means that someone already changed something on the phone (unlocked/relocked/custom recovery)
A comparison should be.. if you bought a new pc and if you open the case you have to break the seal. The "Tampered" say that you had break this seal on the phone (e.g. by unlocking the bootloader)
S-ON means that the security flags are on. Its a system protection so nobody can manipulate system data.
S-ON + locked bootloader -> you can do nothing, no root, no custom things
S-ON + unlocked bootloader -> you can flash custom recovery, root, custom rom (you can see an unlocked bootloader as a compromise between S-ON and S-OFF
S-OFF -> you can do everything what you want, change bootloaderGUI, bootanimations, splashscreens.
Unlocked means that you bootloader is unlocked. If its locked you cant install custom recovery, root and custom firmware. It has to be locked when you install a RUU.
You cant find your HBOOT version in your phone settings because its the version of the bootloader.
the bootloader is independed from the rom you are on. Its like the BIOS from your PC and your ROM is Win7 where you either cant find the bios version.
Radio is the module which is responsible for mobile data etc.
no/wrong/corrupt radio = no network/no signal
openDSP .. i don't know
eMMC boot, I guess that this is the partition where the bootloader is located.. but I'm not sure.
Mar 21, 2012, 16:01:09 is the date when .. difficult to explain .. when the development of the RUU was finished?
if I wrote something wrong please correct me.

Thanks a lot for this very helpful information. Appreciate your help. Kind of person like you are the reason these forums are running successfully and helping novice people like me. Thanks again.

AW: [Q] Trying to get HTC one S on stock rom? Please help ?
Thanks for your words
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Hello.
I'm having same problem with getting back on stock firmware...
After trying to flash into CM10, i got stock in CM boot logo.
So trying to get back to original using RUU.
But it just looks like I can not get right one...
I did everything like in posts above, and when I enter "fastboot getvar cid" I got "HTC_Y13"
Any idea which RUU is correct for that?
I'm still trying, so maybe it will be fools luck... Or maybe someone can put me on point?

When I try to install CM10, everything went fine, but when It have to reboot it just stuck in CM booting logo loop...
And since you can't remove memory card on HTC One S, I think I have no other option how to reinstall stock firmware. And my problems starts...
I relocked bootloader.

When it comes to "Updating Signature" I'm getting error code...
Phone is bought in Norway, and by checking cid: HTC_Y13, I can see that it's HTC-Nor. So which one of RUU's I have to use?
I also tried to flash zip RUU, using One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.5 with same no luck...
Really don't know what to do... Any help would be appreciated...

Firstly, I would recommend removing part of your IMEI and Serial Numbers from your post, it could be used in bad ways by other people.
Ville is the HTC One S with a Snapdragon S4 chipset, clocked at 1.5GHz (dual core) otherwise known as z520e. (You have this phone)
VilleC2 is what became of the HTC One S when HTC ran out of Snapdragon S4 chipsets in many parts of the world due to a shortage. It has a Snapdragon S3, clocked at 1.7GHz (dual core) otherwise known as z560e.
VillePlus is a Special Edition version of the HTC One S, only available in Taiwan. It has the same processor as the Ville, except comes in a white body instead of the normal grey or black options and has 64GBs of internal storage. The other two have 16GBs internal storage. This phone is quite rare.
You should try RUUs only that say ville, and not VillePlus or VilleC2. These won't work and may even irreversibly damage your phone.
OTAs only work when you already have a previous firmware version. Let's say you were on ICS, a Jelly Bean FOTA is released (firmware over the air) and installs ("flashes") on top of your existing ICS installation, keeping your apps and data.
RUUs wipe all data and wipe everything on the phone when installing through a USB connection.
Could you specify what error code you get on the RUUs?
----
The reason why CM10 didn't boot is because you didn't flash the boot.img.
You need to extract the boot.img from the CM10 zip and put that into your "working folder" (the folder with adb and fastboot files in it)
Open up a command prompt / terminal in that folder and type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
when you are in FASTBOOT USB mode in the bootloader.

Go to Fastboot. Plug in your USB with the phone. Now, ctrl and r --> type cmd --> cd to C:/where your adb is --> fastboot read cid
Then type the 8 digit string that you get. It would help us determine your network provider.

Now i've been running cyanogenmod 10 stable since I started rooting etc...
And it's been amazing, but now since there has been a release candidate for 10.1, I was looking into updating it.
I ran into an issue where my boot-loader was not accepted , therefor i would run into an error on Clockwork mod stopping me from flashing 10.1
The bad thing was that I erased my previous installation without backing up the stock and CM10.
So now i'm left with no system. Though I can get into Fastboot and ADB via recovery.I
For some reason if I try to flash CM10 (The rom and the boot file) the cyanogenmod logo will continue spinning.
I tried to fiddle around with my RUU afterwards because I currently have S-On. But i later learned that i need superCID.
^(Which i learned that you need your phone on to alter it to the 8 "1"s) Which i cant do because i have no system.
I might have already altered some files guessing that my boot-loader is named "dirty-d92cc658" and im afraid that I messed up something internally.
So anyways. Im here with my Ville S4 plugged in on fastboot not knowing what to do.
Any Help would be amazing , thank you

If you have a RUU for your specific phone, no, you just need to lock the bootloader.
Have USB debugging turned on (unless running ruu when your phone is in fastboot usb mode)
If you can't find one for Rogers, then yes you have to be super cid to run another RUU.exe (after that change your cid back so an OTA update doesn't brick your phone)
If your phone is on Jellybean, you need to run a JB ruu, if it's Ice Cream Sandwich it won't run. Unless you are supercid I guess.

How can I superCID my phone if I cant boot into the rom?

I've never superCid, can't help you there.
Good news is you can get into bootloader still.
You could fastboot flash a boot.img and flash a rom in recovery.
Just need to mount usb storage in recovery to put the rom.zip on your phone.
Edit: reread that you tried that but rom didn't boot. Hopefully you waited 5-10 min for first load.
try wipedata/factory reset from CWM like 3 times then flashing?
Good luck to ya.
Edit 2: kind of wondering if you can run the Rogers RUU with that low of a bootloader (version-bootloader: 1.13.0000)
Maybe someone can chime in, because that would be nice not having to SuperCid.

Alright so I seemed to get it running on CM 10 by switching recoveries and flashing it's boot.
Then I was able to superCID the phone, which then lead my into S-off'ing it.
Then I was able to update the hboot firmware to 2.15
Cleared the cache and installed the new kernel and flashed cyanogenmod 10.1 rc
Everything went well after that. I did run into a laggy issue, which I then fixed by switching the CPU governor to ondemand instead of interactive.
Thanks for the post guys

[Q] SIM Unlock Code Not Working

Hi, I got the SIM unlock code from my carrier for my HTC One S but it doesn't appear to work. It's also a lot shorter than the code I used on my Xperia Z1 (same carrier) but they say that it's supposed to be valid.
My HTC One S has the bootloader unlocked and CyanogenMod 10.2 installed on it. Could not having a locked bootloader and stock ROM be the reason the unlock code doesn't work?
Thanks!

You probably need the non modified stock firmware installed.
BTW you can also unlock it for FREE

Well, I did get the code for free
Yeah, I've been trying to restore everything to stock to find out but I'm having problems with that also. Perhaps I'll try the link you posted to verify the code. Maybe it's slightly different. Thanks!

Well, the code is the same, guess it just won't unlock without being stock ROM or something and I can't get it back to stock

Any of the guides I follow don't seem to work. I relock the bootloader but then I can't seem to apply the matching RUU for the phone. What looks like the matching one (hboot and radio) is a ZIP file (OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TELUS_WWE_3.16.661.4_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_307532nohrvy5j6i2o2i8i.zip) and I'm not sure how to apply it. The exe RUU versions don't work either because, I'm assuming, they don't match my hboot and radio. I feel like a pretty competent guy when it comes to rooting and imaging Android devices but this just isn't working for me Thanks for your help.

Flash any RUU you like

Thanks! I'll give that a try. I read you need SuperCID for S-OFF, does rumrunner do that for you?

Try to first flash the included boot.img before flashing Viper 2.1.0
or try try Viper 3
You need any sense based rom to get S-OFF

Ok, so, I guess I missed the part of installing Viper where it says to have TWRP and not ClockworkMod recovery >_<
Got TWRP on there, was able to flash Viper 2.1 EASILY. And it unlocked like a charm. THANKS!! Didn't have to get S-OFF for the unlock. What ROM is the best for the One S in your humble opinion? Should I still get S-OFF?

S-OFF means you can flash any stock RUU e.g unbranded and flash any radio version e.g. 1.20 and the kernel (boot.img) get flashed with the rom via recovery and has not to be flashed by fastboot command.
I actually use Candy 5 v1.5.0 but I can't say what fits your needs best

Does Candy have decent battery life? What is your general experience with it? I really want to put Lollipop on this phone

Also, do you have a good tutorial to remove the red Dev warning on boot?

Battery performance is very good for me with Candy 5. I use my phone mainy for messaging and making calls (Its a phone lol). I can't say how long last the battery when you play games or surf the web heavily. For me the battery easy lasts two days.
For getting rid of the red warning you can flash a modded HBoot which can be found HERE. Make sure you use the same version number that is actually installed on your phone but "modded"

Hmmm. I have 2.15 but I seem to be getting an error during the flash: FAILED (remote: 41 model id check fail)
Is that the variance in model that you mentioned earlier?

Seems so And I don't know how to solve it for PJ4011000. May be you can ask or look in the thread if somebody has successfully done it for your model. You probably can edit the flashable file, but I you should NOT try it, if you not exactly know how.
