Super CID "allows you to flash ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier" (taken straight from the S-OFF sticky). You can certainly S-OFF, install custom recovery, and begin flashing custom ROMs without Super CID, but you will be limited in your choice of ROMs to those that are the same carrier as you have. Acquire Super CID and you're more or less free to flash whatever ROMs you want from the dev section.

CID is the Country Identifier, a code which is stored on your phone and software uses to determine which country or region the phone is for. HTC updates, for example, use it to determine (among other things) which languages to install.
SuperCID is a special code, 11111111, which means that software from any region can be installed.
While SuperCID may seem handy, note that if you are only interested in debranding your phone, the OTA (over the air) updates which HTC sends will not be available for your phone, since there is no specific region defined. So, in such cases, you should choose a specific CID for your region.
super cid change
can u pls direct me on how to change my super cid to a specific cid.ASP PLS.:fingers-crossed:

are you on S-OFF?
if yes then connect your device from bootloader to pc(in the hboot screen should say fastboot usb)
open a cmd window in your adb and fastboot folder and type
fastboot oem writecid <<name of cid>>
fastboot getvar cid(to cinfirm that your cid has chnaged)

Super CID is just use for flashing any custom Rom that I want?or it is useful for flashing any RUU too?
for change the CID,I dont know the CID of my region or the CID of the ROM's region that I want to flash,I know the name of region,but CID shoud be 8-characters code of region,can anyone direct me to the thread that collected all of CIDs of the countries??...thank you

if you want to supercid you must be on S-OFF first
about bootoader you don't need to relock it if you are on S-OFF

Yea. Had bootloop..but I went ahead and fastboot flashed boot.img. I thought the whole idea on flashing boot.img was cuz at the time rom was made, it was intendeded for s on devices.
When I bought the phones that's first thing I did was getvar all to see the specs. It came"s off" with locked bl. So I unlocked bootloader and checked getvar again and it said unlocked and s off. IDK why I had to fastboot the boot.img. Could the s off status be a lie? Lol

Back when i first got my phone i did the supercid mod on my phone, everytime i flash a rom i have to do other things just because of it (larger mms, install wifi calling patch etc etc) my girlfriends sensation on the other hand is NOT supercid and she never has to do any of the additional patches i have to do.
So is there any way i can reverse the supercid mod on my phone?
Super CID has nothing to do with patch flashing, but if you want to return to stock cid just fallow the steps to get the super cid and replace "11111111" with your original cid.
If your phone was unbranded your cid should be "HTC__001"

That is wrong. If you use that, i'll only show the CURRENT CID of the phone, which would be superCID in this case.
There's a CID database somewhere in the development section. Search for it. It has a comprehensive list of CIDs with your carriers name.

Oh well I'm sorry but last time I did this it gave me my original and I know this because I have changed it to SuperCID and last night infact I was playing with the adb commands and it gave me my original CID unless of course it has gone back to the original which in that case i am really sorry for being a noob to the android xda community (but im only 17)
If you are on T-Mobile US, then the CID is T-MOB010.

engineering bootloader with security off..basically meaning you have read/write permissions for the system and can flash a custom rom..Since you changed your CID, you also should be S-OFF.
However, I don't think you fully understand what CID does, b/c I don't see how this would cause the issues your having. Super CID allows for you to flash a STOCK rom from another carrier, so you could flash an unbranded Sensation RUU or a TMo-US S4G RUU, or whatever, through bootloader. It allows to "debrand" your phone, meaning you're not stuck to your carrier specific rom. This is different than flashing a custom rom thru recovery, which your CID doesn't matter, bc custom roms are not carrier specific roms..
CID is basically just a variable that tells the RUU what carrier your phone is from and what rom can be flashed on it.
Now, 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. 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.
Hope that cleared things up some.

No it will not..CID is basically just a variable, you need to have S-OFF to change it, but changing it won't effect S-OFF or SIM unlock..

First of all, thank you very much for your response, I really didn't know exactly what it was till you explained it, THe reason i want to revert back to stock is simply because there are certain things that never seem to work on my phone that always work perfectly on my girlfriends phone, first one being WIFI(never gets installed and second being small mms pics, the ONLY difference between her and my phone is that i am superCID and she is not, i can get the patches and fix it but i don't really need supercid now that i understand it.
Seriously though, thank you!
No problem at all, glad to help! Hope you get things figured out..

Sorry to reply so late.
Previously, my phone was eng s-off and got super cid.
After i flash ICS firmware, bootloader was then locked.
After that i did some stupid things, the bootloader turned into "locked", "security warning" and s-on. I succeeded to unlock bootloader by htcdev and get rid of "security warning", at that time i can boot into recovery normally and wipe or flash roms. But it just can't boot into system. I tried fastboot commands to flash but failed just because "it is not allowed in the remote devices".
i tried PG58IMG files but the bootloader shows no image or wrong image.
Can you give me some advice? Thank you very much

My phone had been rooted and end s-off before things happened.
i flash IMG.zip to try to flash a rom( Somebody post that ICS rom can be flash by IMG.zip) or fix the bootloader problem. It's almost the only way to flash a rom for me
I checked the cid and it is still 11111111(Got super cid before) although bootloader is s-on.
Now the state of the bootloader is
1, unlocked
2,s-on
3,cid is 11111111
4,can boot into recovery
5,can't install PG58IMG.zip
6,fastboot command can't write anyting
7,if flash some rom, phone will be stuck at the splash screen which seems splash partition is writable
Thank you!

i don't know how to do either, but during solving my problem, i found something may be useful. If you want to unlock bootloader you can try htcdev. This can't s-off but just unlock bootloader.
And since your hboot is 1.20, you can try the zip file attached by this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20681060&postcount=22.
Because my hboot is 1.23 and isn't supported according to the above link, i didn't know whether it will help or not. You can take it into consideration
Hope you can solve your problem

Hi all,
I feel like I have looked everywhere and cannot find an answer for this. I have an at&t one x that is rooted and unlocked with a custom rom, however I somehow changed my cid from supercid 11111111 to htc__001. Is it possible to get supercid 11111111 back or at least wsc__001 so I can run the correct ruu on it.
Thank you in advance for any ideas or help
Just do s off then it will bypass cid... But I think you can do fastboot oem write cid 11111111( don't know how many ones there are)

You can change the CID the old "manual" method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671396

Sounds like you were one of the folks that changed to the quad core CID so you can flash a ROM from that phone. Scary.

I did not read everything I should have in the beginning. I was trying to run a ruu back to stock and did not know I could have done that with supercid ( which I had at the time) and thought I had to change the cid back to original and mistakenly thought HTC__001 was correct. After I realized WSC__001 was actually the correct original cid and now i can't change back in fastboot without errors. I got to comfortable and got ahead of myself.......

You don't need S-off to use the fastboot command to change it from what I understand you just need to have Super CID.

Right but without s-off, you can only do it once, away from SuperCID. After that, you're stuck.
OP has neither s-off nor SuperCID, which means he needs the exploit.

Now the screen is just black and I can not use the power + down vol to get to fastboot at all.
it will be greatly appreciated if I can get some guidance to get to the fastboot.

What exactly did you flash? What does the phone show up on windows as? Does charge light come on when plugged into wall? Did the ruu complete? s-on or s-off?
You really didn't give much info.

apology - duplicate post
bricked
thanks you for the response.
sorry I was not sure what info to give.
I was trying to flash RUU asia HK because I originally from STOCK turge but everytime I have a conversation my phone keep shuting down.
so I did (quoting from the instruction page):
Download HTC One X Stock Recovery
Download correct HTC One X boot.img and RUU based on CID. Download CID Getter from Google Play Store and run it, it will show your CID.
For this case, cidnum is HTC_044. The correct RUU is X.XX.707.X. Make sure you have downloaded the correct RUU.
Extract Fastboot.zip into a new folder, renamed the folder to Fastboot. Recommended to extract the folder to drive.
Copy and paste the downloaded stock recovery img and boot img into Fastboot folder.
Boot HTC One X into fastboot mode by press and hold Volume Down + Power button.
Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable.
At your computer, open up Command Prompt windows. (To OpenCommand Prompt –> Windows Logo–> Type CMD in search box –>Enter)
Type fastboot flash recovery endeavoru_recovery_signed.img , followed by fastboot reboot-bootloader and fastboot erase cache.
Once you flashed the stock recovery, continue to flash boot.img to your phone. Type fastboot flash boot boot.img, followed by fastboot reboot-bootloader and fastboot erase cache.
Now, relock the bootloader by typing fastboot oem lock, followed by fastboot reboot-bootloader and fastboot erase cache.
Your phone will restart after you have relock the bootloader.
Boot into Fastboot mode.
Double click the RUU, follow the updater instruction.
Wait the sending file to your phone, it normally takes 5-6 minutes.
Once the installation/update completes, your phone will automatically reboot.
when I last look at the details My CID is still 11111111 but status "RELOCKED" - it says also "EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL"
HBOOT 2.14.0000
does this mean that I can safely run RUU:
RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_HK_2.42.708.3_Radio_0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L_release_286715_signed.7z
If there still more things to do, would you kindly direct me to the correct link to follow.
THank you
Never mind, didn't read properly. Will edit and repost.

Your first problem is that you're flashing things that aren't intended for your device. The recovery you flashed is for the Endeavoru, you have the Evita. The second problem is it looks like you're getting your information from the wrong place, to go back to stock you don't need to flash a recovery or a boot.img, all you need to do is flash the right RUU for your device. What RUU did you already run? I need the exact filename. Does your phone power on at all? Can you reach the bootloader?

I see you're looking at all kinds of different threads at the moment, that isn't going to help because I don't think you know exactly what you're doing, you don't know what you've done, and you don't know how to recover from it. Your best bet is to stay in this thread and I'll try to help you work out what's gone wrong.

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_HK_3.14.708.28_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_299865_signed.exe
this is the one I ran earlier.
The progress is that I somehow manage to get to fastboot by pressing the vol down and power .
I am trying to download : RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.17.707.1_Radio_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_298958_signed.exe at the moment but it seems that the first download did not complete - so I am downloading again,
is this what I need to do? just run the RUU?
Cheers

U should download one that has the same radio as yrs also it will take fast download speed otherwise it will keep breaking up. t took me 4 attempts before I manage to download it yesterday (same file as one u r trying) good luck cheers!
You got seriously lucky. You ran an RUU intended for the HTC One X (codename Endeavoru), you don't have that phone. You have the HTC One XL / at&t One X (codename Evita), they're completely different phones. Note how the first RUU you ran has Endeavoru in the filename, that's bad, really bad, don't ever flash anything that doesn't have the Evita codename within the filename. If it has Evita in the filename it's for your phone, if it has anything else don't touch it, burn it, run away. Like I said, you're incredibly lucky your phone isn't bricked right now.
I can only assume that you're a bit confused and have been hopping between the two forums for these phones. In future stay within this device forum that you're posting in now, don't ever go anywhere else. You don't even need to visit other websites because, seriously, everything you'll ever need is right here within this device forum. Plus other sites don't properly distinguish between the models which causes confusion.
Anyway. The second RUU that you've listed there is perfectly fine for your phone. I can't guarantee that it's going to work though because previously running the wrong RUU could have really messed things up on your phone. But your only hope is to cross your fingers and run it now. Let me know how it all goes.

What are you talking about? He doesn't need to use an RUU with the same radio/baseband that's currently on his device, that's just wrong. Firstly the idea of an RUU is to update your device, therefore traditionally you'd be updating to a newer radio version than the one that's currently installed. With s-on you can only run an RUU that contains a firmware version that's equal to or greater than your current firmware. This user has s-off though so he can run any RUU that he wants to, including earlier ones (RUU'ing backwards). I don't know where you got the idea that you need to run an RUU with the same radio as your existing radio but it's just plain wrong, and you really shouldn't be telling people that.

False. With s-on, you can only run RUUs for your CID, and with the same or latter hboot and firmware number. So if you were having trouble flashing an RUU, its probably because you were s-on and trying to either flash another carrier's RUU, or an older version.
The OP is s-off, so therefore all security checks are off. He can flash the RUU for any carrier, any version. As long as its meant for our device (EVITA), of course.
Hi guys
Thank you for all the guidance.
I got the 4.1.1 on my phone now and phone is use-able. I can not thank you guys enough for the help.
After i finished RUU flash the phone detected the new firmware update. When i dowloaded and tried to update, it says that the phone has been modified and they can not run/install the update. When i checked my boot it shows :
"relocked"
cid is still 111111.
Evita pvt ship s-off RL
HBOOT: 2.14
radio : 0.23a.32.09.29
Do i need to do more installation before my phone can get the update from HTC like the one coming out from the factory?
Cheers.

You need to change your CID back to the stock CID to take the OTA update.

I searching in the forum about changing CID. But it seems that is all about how to change CID to 111111. Is there any tutorial to revert back to original CID?
Do i need to sort out my s-off first before changing CID?
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Arda
You said in a previous post that you're s-off. So are you s-off or s-on? Please boot into bootloader and post your bootloader details again.

Hi Timmaa
I believe I am S-OFF - when I look at the bootloader screen it said S-OFF.
Do I need to flash anything at all to get my CID back to original?
On that note I was looking at the RedPoint73 resource guide page but I am not able to find the tutorial to make the CID back to original.
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
All you need to do is issue a fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx
The x's represent the new CID.

I did :
fastboot oem writecid 622 but it came back with ....INFOfail: [writecid] invalid CID
I flashed the RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.17.707.1_Radio_0.23a.32.09.29_10.128.32.34a_release_298958_signed.exe
was the 622 number incorrect?
cheers
No, 622 isn't a CID. A correct CID consists of eight characters, that's why I put eight x's in my example. What model is your phone? You need find the right CID for your model and change it to that. You need to be more careful, you're attempting things without knowing what you're doing again, you're in serious danger of damaging your phone.

Hi Timmaa
My phone is HTC ONE XLTE
I use CID Getter and it came up with HTC__622, so I entered that into the fastboot command and it changed my CID but when I try to flash the new update downloaded directly through the phone it came up with the messsage below after verifying the phone.
not sure why.....( pls see attached)
So you ran the RUU.exe? You didn't extract it or anything? What have you done to the phone since then?
