Different software after bricking

I sent my one x to htc after HARD BRICKING it..(installed CWM update through rom manager) and they fixed it,but now it has alot of different features and looks different,also i cant change the CID or unlock boatloader .... is there something different in this software
the boot up image is also different
and it has that feature where you can touch your phone to anther and tranfer files from one phone to the next.
you can not choose between charge only or mass storage anymore either

Of course. They updated to a non root able version, 3.18. At this time there is NO WAY to root. Sorry bro

I have the radio not the firmware. Its different. Radio helps for reception and things like that. What you have is the whole share-bang-bang. The radio is only part of it.

You said you can't change the CID, Did they change the CID back? Is it CWS__001?
Also, it is possible to run 3.18 rooted if your bootloader is already unlocked but you cannot unlock the bootloader with CID CWS__001 and 3.18 as 3.18 blocks system write which you need to change the CID to unlock the bootloader.

bucknaked, make sure if it is the same phone. if so you could use your old unlock token. not sure about the lack of supercid though to gain s-off.

I think they changed everything...i had to re unlock sim to..(using t-mobile) and it cost $9 the first time and $33 this time,when i put in my old IMEI number it would not work so i checked the phone and the IMEI is different now,and on free unlocked.com it said SUPERNEW/NOT FOUND when i put in the new IMEI number but they sent a code and it worked.

It won't work if your IMEI is different. The tokens are unique to IMEIs.

By imei block do you mean you are locked to a specific phone carrier like virgin, o2, orange, that sort of thing
or do you imei block as in the phone has been reported stolen/unpaid for and wont work on any network, local or otherwise?

Need more info. What do u mean stuck on rom installing? Do u have recovery? If yes then boot phone into recovery, full wipe, then reinstall the rom, once its finished installing, do NOT reboot. Boot ur phone straight into fastboot mode, plug into pc and flash the boot.img thats inside the rom zip. The command to flash the boot.img from fastboot is
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot ur phone.

i fixed it. Now i need unblock my imei adress .. My Sim card not working... Wirting: Limited Acess

New rooting method, anyone tried?

Hi, as we know we dont have to unlock bootloader to rooting the phone. But on Honor 8 its only possible to have rooted phone by flashing supersu script by twrp.
So, anyway, you tried kingroot method? (Below link to download). Works on many phones. Then you can remove it by script to have supersu app.
Anyone to test?

I don't think one click root methods work for any newer phones since like Android 4.4 or maybe Android 5.0.
Anyway all you have to do is "fastboot oem relock bootloader xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (x represents your 14 digit unlock code you get from Huawei website) and your bootloader is relocked. Just remember every time you unlock or relock it factory resets your phone.

But when service will check the phone they will see bootloader status as relocked. So you will loss warranty.

Downgrading the android version with Moto firmware is always a risk.
If you downgrade you need to disable updates, OTA updates could brick the device.
Once the bootloader is unlocked, find your
Software Channel, it will be like, Retail, RetUS, Verizon, metroPC
You can find your firmware here
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/sofiap/official/
download. and Unzip it
Check if your device uses fastbootd
Flash option 1
Find the flashfile.xml in the firmware folder
and use the online flashfile converter to get the flash commands
add the fastboot reboot fastboot commands if you have a fasbootd device.
Flash Option 2
Install LMSA
use the rescue option to download the current firmware for your device
move the LMSA firmware to a different folder
rename the Android 10 firmware folder to the same name as LMSA firmware.
Move that folder to LMSA download folder
Use the rescue option to flash renamed firmware.
There is no guarantee that either method will work, but they should.
On the phone
Toggle off "install updates" option in Dev Options

Yeah, I've heard this is risky, but I'm willing to take the risk because Android 11 ruined my phone and basically added 3 or 4 years to the battery of a phone that I only had for 7 months and was working great before this crap.
And once again, Thanks for this help. I appreciate it very much, even if it doesn't work.
And I had a question before I proceeded. There was an update that came along with Android 11 from Motorola on that same day. The update basically changed my look screen, peek display. Doing all this should get rid of that too and make everything look how it did before the update?
