SuperCID?

Hey guys
If I'm not wrong SuperCID is the manufacturer code, which prevents me to flash any Custom ROM and staying on Stock ROM, right?
So, if I didn't do SuperCID and still on Stock ROM, can I use RUU to return back to S-ON? If yes, will it install even if the RUU isn't the right one for the device?
Thank you

Super CID means you can flash ANY RUU you decide to try

So if I didn't do the SuperCID, if I choose the wrong RUU, it will not get flashaed or will it continue and I'll end up with a brick?
Edit: I found this: "If they don't have SuperCID, they'll get 'ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR' if they try to flash the wrong RUU and it will stop without flashing anything to the phone." Can anybody confirm that it's right?
Thank you

That is correct. With your normal CID you can only flash RUUs that are for your phone. WIth Super CID you can flash any RUU that takes your fancy

Are there any downsides from using SuperCID?

I would also like to know this
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Others have reported that with super CID, they were not getting the updates from htc, but some said that they still received official updates from htc even with super CID. There are no real downsides to superCID as far as I know except maybe when you return it for warranty purposes, but you can always put your original CID back. Just take note of your original CID before you super CID.

The alternative to SuperCID is to flash the ENG hboot after you're s-off. The ENG hboot will disregard a CID mismatch.

Guys,
Noob question: do I have to be rooted to get superCIDed?

I didn't create any SuperCID when unlocking bootloader with Revolutionary... If that bad? Can i get that again?

Thank you guy, you answered to my question!

[Q] Return to full stock

So, I have done a lot of research and I am hung up on one bit.
I have the stock RUU file on my PC.
I also have superCID . I am rooted with S-OFF
Think i used Revolutionary etc. Currently using ARHD 6.8.0
I want to return to Full Stock with S-ON. I looked at this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
But it doesn't say if I need to change my CID back to VODAP001 before or after (Or at all) I flash the Stock RUU. <hope that makes sense?
Could anyone help me?
I basically have the RUU. and need to know about the CID. Does it need to be changed?
Thanks

Just seen this actually
I can confirm SuperCID is successful as i just flashed a Tmous Rom (1.25.***) to my EU unbranded device to check. (added t-mobile tv and other carrier stuff to my apps list)
Does ^ this mean I can run the RUU with my SUPER CID?
Then just S-On once done??
thanks again.

Hi,
If you are returning your phone for warranty purposes,you need to return your SuperCID to normal.
This should be done after running your RUU,but before going back to s-on.
Look HERE for more information.

Cool, well the RUU I have will need the VODAP001 *** (I think it's that, will check before I attempt lol)
So I flash the RUU then I can use this:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid ******* Replacing the *'s with the CID I need.
Once done, can then return to S-ON

also about S-ON read carefully what it is saying about bootloader
your bootloader must be LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED otherwise don't do S-ON

Was just about to post. Successfully flashed the RUU and changed CID to VODAP001, phone boots and works fine!!!
But in bootloader it doesn't mention, locked, unlocked or relocked.
Previously to the Update, it said ***LOCKED***
Now I got just this:
Pyramid PVT Ship S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.17.0006
RADIO-10.11.9007.09_M2
eMMC-boot
What do I need to do to S-ON???
Thanks

if your bootloader says locked now(as you are mentioning) then you can continue with S-ON
edit:what to do for S-ON?
from the same guide it has a tutorial for it
but i think it is a simple command and then you are done

Sorry, I actually mean, before I restored the RUU it said locked. Now it doesnt mention anything.
It no longer says that, or unlocked / relocked.
So I haven't proceeded with the S-ON command.

Hi,
No.
If you ran a RUU,then,everything would have returned to stock.
S-off is not affected.
So,to get back up and running,you will need to do all these things again.

If you are s-off you can flash the RUU_Ville_U_JB without changing CID .
Otherwise lock bootloader and flash RUU.

i think he changed the cid because it must be done for s-off.

I changed cid because i have two pcs of this phone. First have android 4.0.3 and i Flash it with WWE ruu ics without any problem. Second have 4.0.4 and i cant downgrade it to 4.0.3.
Ok. Tell me if i wrong. Now i must s-off phone and Flash jb ruu? No need change cid? Actually cid 11111111 dont brick phone?

No these steps!
1. Unlock bootloader.
2. SuperCID 11111111.
3. S-OFF.
4. FLASH RUU.
DO NOT UPDATE OTA UPDATES WITH CID 11111111, THIS WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!

plz help me for this issue i cant fix it

Yes you can. You need to know your CID and then you can perform a RUU update. For this you need to have stock recovery installed and relocked your bootloader IF you are S-ON. When S-OFF its not necessary to relock the bootloader and you easily can switch between hboot versions directly. You know your CID?

That matches your phone
BUT
What are you going to do? If you want install some actual custom rom you will need HBOOT 2.15 which is not released by your provider.
BUT
You can gain S-OFF --> switch CID --> install unbranded EU version with HBOOT 2.15 and then you'll be able to install the newer roms
The only poinz is if we can gain S-OFF with your actual firmware or better on of the two update RUUs avaiable.
May be you can google for it.
If you hust wanted to update HBOOT for some other reason --> SRY for spamming you

I will hep you, but as in every guide provided there is a chance to brick your device if something goes wrong. If you're clear about it i will help you gain S-OFF.
So you agree to that?

[Q]SuperCID on VilleC2

hello to all . i have a simple question... i don't have a stock sense rom accepted for Moonshine.. so in the case i want to do S-OFF i have to use rumrunner... but the only thing to i try S-OFF its to have the possibility to have SuperCID and use any RUU... so here come my questions:
1-. i don't find a thread to have SuperCID on villeC2.. so its impossible? can't use fastboot write cid 11111111 ?
2-. my model is pj40210, not the universal pj40200 this matter? can i run a ruu for pj40200 on my phone? can damage?
thats all. thanks

xiaolvmu said:
Aha, to find the stock ROM, you can go to http://www.androidruu.com. I always download VilleC2 RUU there.
S-Off is doesn't need supercid. Also, VilleC2 has a strange security lock and we can never write CID (even change the mmcblk0p13. Don't try it, too dangerous. I've tried to get supercid but failed).
The model seems doesn't matter.

I already found an existing tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911
The only difference is, VilleC2 can't use 11111111. You can change it to HTC__044 (Asia Version)
Then, in this download page : http://androidruu.com/?developer=VilleC2
Download this: RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.15.707.101_Radio_16.21.20.02U_16.09.20.11_M2_release_289564_signed.exe
Then you can flash the pure RUU
