I noticed that HTC always updates their Taiwan model of their phones first. I decided to unlock my bootloader and S-off to change my CID to the Taiwan version. Sadly it keeps saying invalid CID. The CID is the only thing that needs to be changed, since the MID is the same anyways (both are 2PZC300000). After doing some research the CID seems to be: HTC_621 and STOCK EMEA: HTC_034. How come changing the CID gives me an error? Has anyone else actually even tried this? Or was this never possible to begin with? Is this maybe blocked by HTC? I rememeber Changing CID and MID on my One M9 really easily. I was able to install the US unlocked RUU. The reason I'm specifically choosing Taiwan RUU is because of the dual sim functionality. I'm afraid the US unlocked won't even work since that one is single sim and I don't really want to risk it.
EDIT: Typo in the title. It should be: DUGL Taiwan. The: H was a mistake.
EDIT: I was able to change the CID. I made a dumb mistake by not reading that you need to use two underscors. Like this: HTC__621. Instead of HTC_621. All I need to do now is flash Taiwan RUU and see what happens.
EDIT: succesfully flashed and updated to the latest version on Taiwan firmware

Hello,
How can I check region of software or product code like samsung, CDA in SE, I use HTC first time and I don't know how it names in HTC
3rd part of software version is region or maybe carrier, for example current unbranded EU is 1.78.401.2 while T-mobile USA is 1.84.531.2.
EU: 401 TMobile USA:531.
Please correct me if Im wrong here!
Check out the shipped ROM thread in development section maybe you can figure more out from the filenames of the RUU's there.
I have 1.78.401.2, but onle soft is for all Europe?
other comapny have diffrent sw for other coutry.
Each Htc Phone has its own CID. Unbranded Euro for One S is [HTC_001]
If You need to detect what is Your Cid You can use CID getter from market.
I have just downloaded and checked and I have HTC_102, HTC-GER, I would like to change to Poland CID, HTC_B25, do you know any easy way for it?
I found one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674202
and it needs root, but I wouldn't like to root my phone.
Sorry You have to unlock bootloader first. As far as I know its only one way to change CID. If You dont want to do this better stay with morelocale2
unlock bootloader is enought or I need root too?
I have used morelocate2, but I think that it dosen't translate all
I know there are several threads like this one but I prefer not to write another RUU request while you're answering to another user
So, I got a HTC One S S3 yesterday... I began to unlock it because I wanted to change its CID. I found that in the S3 version the CID can't be changed (still) when I had already installed the TWRP Recovery.
Now I'd like to go back to stock, but there is not a RUU compatible with my device: It has VODAP102 as CID, but the RUU for Vodafone AT here doesn't work. I found the kernel source for the same software version I have in htcdev.com, my question is: is it possible to build a RUU or at least a boot.img from it?
The sources can be found in htcdev /devcenter/downloads (sorry but being new I can't post direct links!), HTC One S as Device, Vodafone as Carrier and UK -
1.11.161.133 as software version. Actually I am in Italy, but the software and kernel version are exactly the same.
Thank you in advance.
Bump to first page and a little addendum:
I've read again all the possibilities I have with this phone, and if I have understood accurately then I'm forced to go back to stock, roms like the ThickDroid seem to require a non-branded CID, but that's the point... it is the CID that's compelling me to maintain this original Vodafone software, otherwise I would have already installed the HTC "basic" rom.
Am I missing something?
Thank you again!
Have you tried looking on HTCRUU.COM?
Check your radio id on the bootloader screen then flash the appropriate ROM

Yes I checked, but they have just unbranded RUUs, here in the forum there's one RUU for Vodafone but the region isn't the same as mine.
I've read that it is possible to flash an OTA update deleting the string that checks the CID - I'll have to take a look about that (moreover, it seems very difficult to find .zip OTA updates for this phone...).
Nevertheless I'd like to find this RUU update too - it is an important option too. So... bump to first page.
Hello guys,
Since 2,5 weeks now I have my One S and i love it! I have it S-OFF'ed and all the other goodies there are available for the HOS, I don't like limitations :laugh:
But I'am searching for the correct RUU to have it on my computer already in case something happens to the phone and I need to send it to HTC. It came brand new with Hboot 1.06 wich still is on it. The CID was HTC_E11 before I set it to SuperCID. Now come's the weird thing, the radio is 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L.
When I looked over here: http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Ville to find the correct RUU, the one with the matching radio is an T-Mobile US version, while the phone is a non branded european one? Wich is actually correct as I live in Europe and the CID was HTC_E11.
Is that RUU correct? It seems to be the only one with the correct radio?
PS: Sorry for the bad english

when did you check it?
if you checked after install of rom (i presume cm10.1)--> cm comes with that radio. so thats why. just upgrade it to a eu one.
check it in bootloader status, it will still show the previous radio (wich was original there), while in rom you see a different one.
if its a dutch unbranded device
use this ruu http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe
or this one and do a ota (not on supercid) http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...02.31_10.09a.50.04L_release_275655_signed.exe
Yes in CM10.1! I didn't know that CM flashed that radio. Normally it's just the rom and that's it....
It indeed is a Dutch unbranded device, I just need the RUU for emergency's so that i can flash it back to how I got it. Thanks for the help!
Wondering, how I get back to stock for my girlfriends One Mini from T-Mobile Germany. The battery has quite strange problems and we want to give it to T-Mobile for service.
I think it won't be good, when the phone is with an International CID even if she bought it from T-Mobile with a T-Mobile CID, right? Flashing stock international would be no problem with S-Off (Just change CID and flash a stock international rom).
The main question is, can I change the CID to an international one, flash a stock rom, change CID back to T-Mobile one, make phone S-On and locked, flash stock recovery and update thorugh OTA? Will the phone get the T-Mobile OTA from then on?
Or do you think I should change the CID to an international one, flash stock, make it locked and s-on and give it to t-mobile?
Many questions but I hope I can get even one answer
Cheers,
Patrick

Hi Patrick
I honestly don´t think you get an OTA update from T-mobile if you only change your cid.
For getting OTA´s the firmware and build number must match and also have to be T-mobile.
Even if you get an OTA it will fail through installation if both don´t match.
(Doesn´t matter T-mobile or not)

I have a HTC U11 Dual Sim / International Unlocked version that I was able to get while I was in Taiwan.
The CID of this phone is set to ChungHwa Telecom - the Mobile Carrier in Taiwan (CID = HTC__621 TWM-TW).
I am using the phone in the US with a T-Mobile SIM card, and generally it works ok. However, there are a few problems that i have, which I think are because the phone is not set to the correct CID.
1) If I am on a mobile data network, I cannot simultaneously make a phone call and use mobile data (browse using Chrome, use Google Maps, etc). I can browse data as soon as I end the call. This is not an issue when i am on a wifi network.
2) I cannot get T-Mobile's VoLTE function to work.
Questions: if I set the phone to Super CID, US Unlocked, or T-Mobile, will everything work correctly? Do I also have to change the MID, or can I leave this alone?
Is this the procedure that I should follow to change the CID? https://forum.xda-developers.com/u11/how-to/convert-sprint-branded-u11-to-unlocked-t3664154
Sorry, but I am somewhat of a noob when it comes to this, but I think that I have to use Sunshine to get S-OFF and then enter the command lines fastboot oem writecid BS_US001 or fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Then I have to flash the RUU to the US unlocked, but how exactly do I do this?
Supercid is no longer valid so the cid must match the firmware you're flashing. Yes you will need s-off, change cid, flash firmware, done.
Your first issue I have it too. I can't use data while on call. The data connection cuts the moment my phone starts ringing. And I don;t know what to do, but I can live with it.
For VoLTE, I think you need the T-mobile firmware.

As far as Volte goes, if you change to us unlocked it'll work fine. I'm with mint sim that uses tmo and all works fine. And It's great being able to surf while talking.
US unlocked is the way to go imo.
Surf and talking are allowed only if data and call comes from the same Sim.
HTC U11 is not dual active

So, I managed to unlock the bootloader, used Sunshine to achieve S-Off, changed my CID to BS_001 (US developer). The last thing that I have been trying to do is flash the ROM to the US Unlocked ROM. I am running the installation utility and getting this error message: "Error [130]: MODEL ID ERROR. The ROM update utility cannot update your Android Phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."
I did notice this: the ROM that I have installed on my phone is: 2.42.709.1 (this was released for the Taiwanese version of the U11)
The most recent US unlocked ROM is: 2.42.617.1 (this is the one that I am trying to install on the phone).
Is this causing a problem?
Do I need to change the MID (model ID of the phone)...if so, how do I do this?
What do I do next?
