HTC One X AT&T Network Unlock Issues - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Im trying to unlock my HTC One X from ATT to use with Movistar Mexico... I purchased 3 unlock codes from different places and all gave me the same unlock code. I contacted ATT and they gave me the unlock code.. but its the same one... i contacted HTC and they walked me on how to unlock, but still no go. They told me to update my phone and still cant network unlock my phone.

Try changing your CID back to the stock CID (at the moment you have SuperCID which is 11111111). You'll need to install fastboot on your PC, and also make sure you have the drivers for your phone installed on your PC. If you don't know how to do this, Google will be your friend.
Once you have that all ready to go you can issue the following command to make sure your connection is good.
Code:
fastboot devices
Then you can use this command to change your CID:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
And this command to confirm that it worked:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid

Thanks.. tried it and i get
(bootloader) fail: [writecid] Invalid cid
OKAY [ 0.013s]
finished. total time: 0.014s

Did you make sure you typed in the correct CID? It must be 8 characters long.

Thanks for your help. I was able to write CSW__001 to the phone and i tried HTC__001 also with no lock. Still says Invalid Password. You would not happen to know how to reset the network unlock count?
thanks..

Why are you trying to make the CID HTC__001? That isn't the right CID for your phone. Just doing random things like that is a great way to end up bricking your phone. I believe the only way to reset the SIM unlock count is by running an RUU.

Well it's still gonna show relocked if that's what your talking about bcuz you unlocked it then relocked so it isn't gonna show tampered with unlocked at the bottom that's only for the first time you unlock it that it says tampered with unlocked at the bottom, but if you unlock it again it's just gonna say relocked not unlocked. Hopefully this answers your question.

Yea that is strange but I don't think it would be considered a problem unless you have the phone stuck in Bootloop or something strange is going on with the phone like apps.not working or battery draining fast. I can see what your worried about and it is strange but I wouldn't worry too much about it but you should look up somewhere in the forums about that but I wouldn't know much about the international version I'm on the US version.

My default cid is HTC_203, i changed to HTC__102, HTC__001 and 11111111.
Everytime cid changed, I will lock/unlock again. When changed to 11111111, I can't unlock anymore.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Mate, the CID is in the partition that gets summarized together with the other partitions when calculating the Unlock Token.
So, if you change this or any other relevant partition by for example changing the CID, you will invalidate your old unlock token.
After changing CID, please re-lock bootloader, then go "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" and go to HTC-Dev and unlock again.
After that, you can proceed with everything else as usual.
If you cannot unlock with CID 11111111 this is NOT normal. Everyone else can.
So either you did something wrong in the above process or you somehow half-bricked your phone.
Yes, everytime I changed cid, I got a new unlock code. if not, fastboot will give me error message during unlock process.
I think my situation is not normal, and I'm trying to find out why then fix it. Now, I still can install any RUU , if they have the same HBOOT version.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
I'd guess it's a half brick because if you can't unlock something is wrong. There is no unlock counter because no-one has had it yet. I've unlocked about four or five times now too and don't have that problem. You should consider sending it in for repair. As long as there's no S-OFF you'll have no chance to force an unlock I guess. If the security is as complex as on the HOX, it's likely the situation couldn't even be resolved by a jtag programmer or such.

CID 11111111 Issue
Hello there,
I want to install an older RUU (actually installed is RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258480_signed )
my intention is to downgrade the Basbeand Version with this Procedure to get rid of this "HomeButton-Jumparound-Whatever" Issue which occures when i am in GSM (2G) Mode.
when i get this phone brandnew there was no Problem, just after updating to 1.78 this ****** began.
When i changed my CID from HTC__102 to 11111111 the first time everything went fine and i was able to install every RUU
Now i tried to change my Radio to an older Version by install an older RUU, but it won't work no more, i allways get an Error 140 or 131.
if there is another method to change the radio version, I'd appreciate any council
relock Bootloader, turn off virus scanners, run ruu as admistrator, I've done of course
I would be grateful for any help
ERROR 140 : bootloader error
ERROR 131 : cid error
are you install T-MOBILE 1.84 RUU ?
this will chane HBOOT version from 1.08 to 1.09
if you can unlock, try to find some way change your HBOOT version back to 1.08.
then you can insall RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2.

i've got HBOOT 1.13.000 (shown in bootloader)

My CID is 22222222, help me make it 11111111

My CID is 22222222, even though I RUU'd back to 1.85. My Hboot 1.09, and my phone is S-Off'd.
Why is it showing as 2222222? I've flashed other HOXs before and never experienced this issue.
Can't you just
(Fastboot oem writecid 11111111) ?
Try that in bootloader/fastboot.
Sent from my HOX w/CM10.1 4.2.2 s-off
Actually OP...better question is why you want 11111111?
22222222 i used that and got SuperCID because i read that HTC closed the 11111111 loophole in its unlocking process (if you wanted to go S-OFF.
Supercid is not a loophole, it was designed and implemented by Htc to do exactly what it does, to make a device not locked by region checks.

But it was probably never intended for the general public to use. Evidenced by the fact that HTC started blocking it in HTCDev.com bootloader unlock process. So in that sense, it was a loophole that was closed.

Want to return phone to stock. How do I do this?

I'm sending my phone to T-Mobile and getting a new one via handset warranty. The volume buttons broke off and I can't handle the reboots anymore so T-Mobile said I can get a new one. They told me that I have to return it to completely stock though or else I will be charge $98.
I'm currently running HyperSensation. How do I go about returning it completely to stock so I don't get stuck with this charge?

Hi,
They said they want it completely stock,which is what a RUU will do.
It says nothing about removing supercid,or returning to s-on.
If you wanted to remove supercid,then,follow this:
To get your CID back to stock, do the following:
Connect to ADB, run "adb reboot-bootloader"
Then enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111", except put your carriers CID in place of the 11111111. If you do not know your CID, refer to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195475
Then run "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and then "fastboot getvar cid" to verify it successfully changed.

Ah thank you. I have no idea if I need to get S-ON or supercid back to normal or not. I have the handset protection plan so they sent me a new one and I'm sending mine in and the rep at the store said make sure there is no trace of rooting or they will charge me $100. I don't know if that just means the RUU or if they will check for S-ON or supercid. Does anyone know?
Another question. If I can't figure out how to get it back to stock then should I just brick it and send it back? Will they be able to tell that it bricked due to rooting?

Last question, and thank you very much for the help so far.
Right now I have supercid so should I change back to T_MOBO10 first before doing all the steps on the RUU up there or can I do it after?
And also how do I tell if my boot loader is locked or not? Following the instructions on the RUU I'm S-OFF but I'm not sure if the bootloader is locked or not. I don't see unlocked anywhere so should I assume its locked?

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

It is Windows compatible. Check out my q&a thread (link in my signature), I wrote a quick guide of that method for someone in the last few pages.

I tried using your guide and when I executed one of the adb shell commands I got this error
"adb shell ln -s /data/local/tmp/busybox /data/local/tmp/sed link failed File exists"
Can you please check your CID?
Code:
fastboot oem readcid

Yea sure it's CWS__001 isn't it suppose to be "11111111"?
Did you use the fastboot command to get your CID?
