Hi to all,
here is my story/problem:
Bought Htc One S (S3) from HK, CID HTC__622.
Latest WWE for cid HTC__044 isn't working (obviously).
No way to flash OTA or RUU 'couse there is none of these for HTC__622.
No way to change CID/SuperCID 'couse this is S3 version.
No way to flash latest custom roms 'couse my hboot isn't upgraded (still with v.2.09.0001).
I've succeded (after some panic moments) only in flashing custom recovery and rooting (and for this i owe HUGE THANKS to user azzledazlle who spent a whole day helping and de-noobing me).
I'm asking...no, i'm BEGGING for an advice. Any advice*.
*(if possibile different from "Buy another device")
I recently updated my HTC One A9 to the new Marshmallow 6.01 version and now the wifi does not work at all (missing wifi module (8)) and the battery is at 4000%. My software number is 1.56.709.70, i believe this is the taiwan variant but it is unlocked. How do I fix this? Please help, do I flash an ruu or something? How do I know which ruu works for this phone?
if your A9 is S-ON you have to search for a signed RUU with your software number (1.56.709.70).
You may also try to factory-reset your phone in download mode
If nothing helps you can unlock and S-Off your phone - after that you are able to flash any RUU
I have been doing a lot of reading up on changing the branding/region of the U11 and think I have the steps worked out. Would just like
someone who has done this to comment on if it seems right to them.
So Going from DUGL India to DUGL EMEA I would
1. Install sunshine for s-off so I can change the CID, current MID is the same as EMEA.
2. Change CID from download mode, fastboot oem writecid HTC__034
3. Download and install EMEA ruu
Thanks, MadMungo
Well I had time to give it a go and was successful. I am now on the (HTC__001) EMEA dual sim firmware from the (HTC__060) Indian dual sim firmware.
If anyone else wants to give it a go it was real simple, I just followed the following steps
1. Install sunshine for s-off to change the CID.
1a. Download EMEA RUU and copy to root of SD card and rename to 2PZCIMG.zip
2. run Sunshine to boot into s-off download mode,
2a. Change CID by running fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 on PC
2b. press Volume Down button to cancel RUU update and check CID = HTC__001
3. select reboot to Download Mode
3a. press Volume Up button to confirm flash of RUU
4. Once phone has been rebooted enjoy setting up new phone on EMEA firmware.
hope this helps someone else out there.

Nice little guide mate. May I make a suggestion though. The better CID if one lives in central Europe would be HTC__034 as far as I remember.

Hey, I am in Australia and bought the phone from overseas vendor as it was cheaper and I needed a dual sim phone so I didn't have to carry 2 phones around. I now have a different job and don't have a need for dual sims I was wondering if it is possible to set the phone up as a single sim by changing the CID to one of either HTC__001 Prefered, (HTC__M27, HTC__002, HTC__034 Optional) and the MID to 2PZC10000.

Why wouldn't you use it as is, You could use the second SIM tray as an SD tray and all fine. Why convert it.

Hey,
Thanks for the help and the guide. I was trying to do exactly the same thing.
I got stuck at the final stage. I was trying to SD card flash one of the combined nowipe firmware zips (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617943112) and I get an error 10 when flashing, which makes no sense because the MID on my phone and in the zip are both correct. CID changed successfully and checked. S-OFF all ok and booted using sunshine before trying to flash the firmware.
any ideas? perhaps I am trying to flash the wrong thing and I have to do a full RUU flash somehow? Trying to avoid this because running leedroid rom and am lazy to setup again.
thanks for any ideas, Russ

Russ,
Sorry to here you are having troubles. I am just a user, no technical knowledge but will try to help.
As far as I can tell from reading various posts on this, you will need to flash to the latest stock RUU, https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120762674 . Then you can flash the OTA http://fotadl-az.htc.com/secure/OTA_OCEAN_DUGL_N71_SENSE90GP_HTC_Europe_1.27.401.11-1.27.401.5_release_512994zou8hacebhmotmqg.zip using the original stock recovery, no need to be S-OFF for OTA flash.
Unfortunately you will then need to start with leedroid rom all over again.
Maybe one of the more technical guys could help you if you ask in the Firmware collection How-To Thread
thought that might be the case, thanks for the reply, much obliged.
HTC U11 India Oreo update:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/collection-htcu-u11-ruu-firmware-t3612048/page99
Can we try something similar with the HTC TW ROM. I am guess its CID is 80.
I am guessing that the TW ROMs would receive updates from HTC before other regions.
Any inputs will be appreciated
Thank you!
Oreo update for the u11 EMEA from nougat 1.27.401.11
Hello guys, would really appreciate it if someone updates me on how to bring my U11 EMEA to Android 8.0 Oreo. I am currently running nougat version number 1.27.401.11. Thanks. Will keep checking this thread

Unlock bootloader via htc dev website.
Flash twrp.
Flash magisk
Buy s-off for $25 via sunshine.
Change cid to BS_001
Flash 1.xx.617.xx firmware (same version as you already have running on the phone but 617 region).
Update to oreo via ota.
Job done.
You will need the htc_fastboot.exe that is specifically made by htc for flashing. You can find it all over the m9 forums or on Google.
Thanks

Well, there's an OTA Update that will take you straight to Oreo from the version you're currently on. No need to unlock bootloader or anything else. It's there in this thread
You wouldn't lose any data either, but just take a backup nonetheless.

Is there any particular reason why you wanted to (and subsequently) move(d) from Indian region to EMEA (I am guessing 1 reason to be quicker OTA updates). As far as I know, the Indian ROM doesn't have any bloatware.
That said, if there are any advantages (in terms of performance/battery life/etc) do let us know and I will move too. he he!
SKU 401 is already an EMEA device. He seems to try to change to US Unlocked unless I don't know for what that might be good. In addition this will probably keep to problems on further updates, as he can't change the confirmation of the variant from DUGL to WHL as this won't be altered by S-OFF or any step that could and might be taken.
I'd stay on Indian version 1.27.401.11 and await the upcoming Oreo update.

Thanks all, but I guess will just wait for the Oreo update for the HTC U11 EMEA from nougat 1.27.401.11 coz I don't seem to find it on the links posted earlier. I don't understand y HTC doesn't just post the RUUs for each CID so that we can do it ourselves coz it seems not to be able to keep up with either the demand or it's own promises
Hi
Got a U11 mid 2PZC30000. Cid HTC__622 which I think is Asia dual sim model.
If I change cid to HTC__001 or super cid, can I install the new Android 9 update. The android-info.txt in the zip file show model 2PZC30000 and has cid's htc__001,M27,A07,034,J15
I'm in UK but bought the device from ebay(asia direct sales) but has the same model id
Don't want to brick my phone lol
Thanks
Never mind. I've done it. Made phone into Europe version and installed Europe Android. Now updated to Android 9

Hey there! I'm also UK, bought a grey import and ended up with htc__060 - Indian version, dual sim. How easy was it to change the cid? Ta!

You need to unlock bootliader, install twrp recovery(do not make system writable in twrp) and flash supersu.
Just use the tutorial for the cid change without soff.
The first part of tutorial clearing software version didn't work.
Pull the sha1 partition and edit with hex editor and send back to phone. Edit to HTC__001
Then I used the HTC tool to change the software version to 1.00.00.0
Last of all I flashed back the original recovery for Android 8 on my old cid HTC__622
Then I could install the Europe Android 8 from sdcard. When booted the phone up, it seen the new Android 9 update and update it all no problem
To update from scarf, rename the download zip to 2PZCIMG.Zip and boot to download mode. Phone will see the update firmware and prompt you to flash it.
Hope it helps pal
