[Q] How to change CID? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I want to change the CID of the HTC Desire to receive OTA updates by HTC in the future. Recently the CID is T-MOB101 and I want to change it into HTC__102. But I do not know how. At the weekend I tried lot of things and failed.
The Desire has root via unrevoked. It is really difficult for me. At Desire HD it was easy but here ...
Thanks a lot!
Greetings gago

its going to require jtag in order to change the carrier ID, maybe you should contact someone at RIFF Box for more info
http://www.jtagbox.com/

You dont have to change CID to do that. Once you install a RUU of that carrier with a goldcard, the OTAs you subsequently receive will be of that carrier.
Why change the CID at all?

yea doing as droidzone tells you will let it download, but you will need to keep the goldcard in the phone in order for them to install properly.

Yeah, when I received the last ota I could download it and so I did. But then it aborted on installing and an if clause appeared proving which cid the phone has.
And therefore I ask. Goldcard was inserted.

for the Desire HD you can change the cid to what you want (super cid):

Can´t that be done with the normal Desire?

i think its because the DHD has radio s-off and we only have a patched bootloader s-off

You cant change a CID in a Desire, you can only bypass the check with goldcard IMHO..

[Q] Vfone Debranding and CID Change for OTA updates

Hi All
I'm new to the forums today and have been reading up on Debranding my Handset as well as changing the CID.
I'm hoping one of you more experienced guys out there can clarify the inderstanding of a total noob here i.e. me.
Essentially I want to Debrand a Vfone DHD running 2.2.1 and simply flash the latest 2.2.1 Unbranded equivalent (HTC) My understanding however is that in order to install OTA updates without leaving a gold card in place I need to set the CID to HTC_001? So to do this I believe I need to:
(1) Downgrade to 2.2 using Gold Card Method
(2) Install Visionary and Root the Phone
(3) Use 'one Click' radio S-Off tool to set s-off
Here's where I need a little help.....
How do I change the CID to 'HTC__001' set radio S-ON and then flash the Unbranded 2.2.1 ROM?
Is it merely a case of using the tool ‘One Click Tool’ to do Stock CID and S-ON and then Unroot the Phone before reflashing Android 2.2.1 (unbranded) using the Gold Card method again? Or is there an easier solution?
I am essentially trying to obtain an Unbranded 2.2.1 CID HTC_001, Radio S-ON Phone.
Cheers

The radio s-off tool will give you superCID (11111) this means you can apply any generic or branded update

Thanks for that. One last quick question if that's ok. If I downgrade to Unbranded HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_R-1.28.405.1_R2_releasef3xogq2juqkgt3v5 how do I then re-upgrade to 1.72....unbranded? Will I be able to do this by searching for an OTA upgrade using the Phone or do I need to flash another rom manaually.

Have you tried asking in the Desire C forums?

island3r, when I started the thread I couldnt see the Desire C section.. perhaps mods can move this thread if the sections exists
jmcclue, does this apply to Desire C? as I have been able to change CID using adb tool commands before.
Please advise.. appreciate your helps guys..

I wasnt able to change the CID whether its due to S-On on somthing else.. so I got rid of it.. it wasnt a great phone anyway..

[Q] Help, need T-Mobile branded RUU

I have T-Mobile branded HTC Desire with s-on with T-MOB101 cid code. Now i need RUU with same cid so i can flash it. Btw phone is stuck at boot screen. I looked everywhere with no success, could someone help me finding RUU I need?
Try the 2.3 RUU. It isn't branded, and you don't need a goldcard. It should work just fine.

First of all thanks for the quick response. I just realised today that all the RUU files i found before was posted in 2010(all froyo i guess) which forces me to match cid when flashing with s-on. Anyway I downloaded 2.3 RUU from the official HTC site which rebrands my Desire(didnt know that), and its all fine. Huge thanks to you bud.

RUU OPTUS_001 x.xx.980.x AUSTRALIA

Hi,
I have been searching for an RUU for the australia optus branded HTC one V (CID 980 or OPTUS_001) but have had no luck.... does anyone know where I can get it? I would be eternally grateful as my one V constantly reboots due to a radio update ota...
Have since rooted and installed many different custom roms with no change in the outcome... so i unfortunately need the RUU otherwise the phone is going to have to become a paper weight.
I've also tried many other RUU;s for different CIDs but with no luck (they all say wrong CID).
I would even be prepared to pay someone if they needed me to!!!
check the htcdev website. if an ruu was released for your device,it would be there.
There's no RUU for OPTUS001 CID as of what I know.

Ok thanks guys. So am I right in saying that there is NO way I can change my CID (to 111111) because its not possible to gain S-Off on the HTC One V?
Then this means there is no way I can use another RUU to revert the phone back to stock because it will only accept the OPTUS001 RUU?

Question upon s-offing a device

I haven't seen a thread in this phone section where it shows how to s-off an htc desire 820u (qualcomm) without using an xtc2clip.
May I ask, is there an option to s-off a phone without using a gold card/xtc2clip?
If not, can you give me a way to s-off my phone?
Is it possible to create a gold card to s-off my phone?
I need s-off for my phone since I need to upgrade to lollipop and I have modified my OS without doing backups.
Unfortunaly, for my device which I think is 0PFJDIAG (it is the zip that is searched by hboot) or 0PFJ120(the model number that is written on the back of my phone), there is no available stock kitkat ruu. But if you do have one, please tell me where I can download it.
i don't think there is a way to s-off without xtc2clip
and for the kitkat ruu
i have an d820u and it came ithink with Chinese or Taiwanese software and i used the Indian ruu and worked for me (but mine came already s-off) this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-820/development/ruu-stock-fw-desire-820u-dual-sim-t3217030
i don't know if you can do it while s-on
but why you don't get s-off with xtc2clip it costed me about 15$ in a local mobile repair shop
Hey man, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I've gone to the phone unlocking shops that are near to my place but there is no single person who has an xtc2clip there. Maybe I'll just wait for a software s-off for me to be able to upgrade my phone
Anyone here from the Philippines who know a shop where I can s-off my phone?

Sunshine S-OFF can work in almost all HTC Devices and it is Software only but it will cost you 25$.
Which RUU are you looking for anyway, or can you post a photo of your bootloader, I might help with with that

Sunshine does't support Htc desire 820 yet, the only way to S-off is xtc2clip

I'm not in France :crying: I actually own an 820s, this phone does not need s-off as one is able to write every partition with SP Flash Tool without s-off or unlocking bootloader
