What is CID unlocking? If I were to buy an unlocked/unbranded phone do I still need to do this inorder to install a custom rom?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it's possible to remove simlock once you have S-OFF...flashing a custom radio for example?
it is not possible...
Is there any way to do that without costumer help and web sites (network unlocking codes)?

correct me if i'm wrong but wouldnt creating a goldcard (follow a simple google tutorial) and running a ruu then a s-off on the phone make it completely network independent?
No. It will just remove the network operators ROM and replace it with a Generic unbranded ROM.
Atleast, this is if you are S-OFF with AlphaRevX. S-OFF'ing with an XTC Clip will give you a Super CID, hence, that will unlock the Wildfire.
Hi there,
I wonder if I unlock bootloader, root and flash a RUU or a custom ROM will sim unlock my WFs locked on Vodafone ?
Searching forums for "sim unlock" doesnt helepd. Sorry for noob question.
Cheers,
Alex
It won't, you'll need a XTC Clip to sim unlock.
Thanks for fast answer.
I have a branded o2 Htc One x, can I just flash it with a ruu file from a genric model or do I have to still unlock the bootloader ect?
I don't really want to ruin the warranty.
Flashing a s3 was easy but seems alot more when it comes to this handset and so many threads and not sure which to follow.
Help!!

you need S-off to flash any ruu, if you unlock the bootloader, flash CWM you can flash a custom rom or just delete all the o2 bloatware but it'll still have the o2 CID

You dont need s-off to flash any ruu maybe to debrand the phone but not any

You need S-Off to get super CID to flash an RUU with a CID that does not match the CID your phone came with.
If you want to be able to flash any RUU (as opposed to a few particular RUUs) you need S-Off.
English language allows for ambiguity
Hi,
I have a question, my CID is EVE_001 and I want to unlock my bootloader and root along with all the custom ROM good stuff ASAP.
My question is with my current CID will I be able to return my device back to stock if I need to for whatever reason, I've seen the RUU for the HTC_001 but nothing mentioned for my CID, does anyone have any advice on what I could do if I had to return to stock?
Thanks for any help.

Hey guys, i am about to buy an M8.
I red something about htc sunshine. What is that ? Does this mean that i have to pay to use custom roms ? Please explain me
For most people, there is no need to use Sunshine to install a custom ROM.
You just need to unlock bootloader thru htcdev.com and install TWRP recovery to install ROM.
You need Sunshine only when you have a Verizon device because you can't unlock it with htcdev.com
You also may need Sunshine if you have a SIM locked to certain carrier device and you need to SIM unlock it to use with other carrier SIM.
If you're buying a unlocked device (International GSM), not necessary at all for Sunshine.
