Hi to all, I know that this topic has been discussed a lot, but, after a couple of days of reading, I couldn't find all the answer to my duobts; so I'm sorry if something has already been asked, but (as you could probably understand) I want to be 100% sure about the exact procedure.
So a couple of days ago a crack appeared out of nowhere on my LCD screen (just on the inner LCD; the outside glass is unscratched and good as new) so I need to revert my DHD (running ARHD 5.2.3) back to stock for warranty purpose.
Please tell me if this is the correct procedure:
- Put the orignal RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.15_M3_release_155032_signed connecting the DHD to the PC in HTC sync mode and running the exe wich should flash the ROM and the RADIO in the device;
- Use visionary to gain temproot;
- Use Jkolio tool to revert ENG to S-ON (because, as far as I understand, RADIO S-ON would be reverted by the aformentioned RUU exe)
- Use another RUU of my choice (a.e. RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed) to finally get a stock device.
Is this the correct procedure?
Another question.
My device is unbranded and purchased in Italy.
Before flashing the final RUU, should I also put the orignal CID (different from the actual 11111111) using jkolio tool?
In this case do you know wich CID should I use? The unbranded ONE (HTC__001) or the italian one (HTC__405)?
If i change the CID, will it be necessary to use the goldcard to gain the root again?
Sorry if this was asked a lot of time, but I wasn't able to find the answers I need.
Thanks for your time and your responses.
Edit:
For explanation's sake I add that I didn't use the goldcard to gain root in the first place and that using "getprop ro.cid" in terminal emulator, my CID appears to be HTC__405 (the italian one), but in the bootloader is CID-11111111
Sooooo, no answers at all?
Can someone at least say me if radio s-on is reverted by the RUU exe?
Sorry if I insist, but I've to take the device to repair as soon as possible.

Hello guys,
I have tried to lookup the solution to my problem both on google and at XDA as well however I wasn't successful to find any resolution so I turn to you Android guru's in hope you can help me with this.
I wanted to unroot my Desire and go back to S-ON from S-OFF. I followed the steps on how to create the GoldCard and I successfully created it. However if I download the original RUU in zip file and try to flash it in HBOOT I am still getting the error CID incorrect.
I bought the phone from a retailer here in the Czech Republic and it was supposed to be unbranded and unlocked. However the phone came only with a UK plug so from this I think this phone was supposed to be sold in the UK so there should be installed a UK stock ROM as well. And also is there some way to find out if the phone was debranded? And also one another weird thing. The phone came with installed clockwork recovery. I don't suppose the clockwork recovery is in the stock RUU by HTC.
Thank you very much for your advices!

I have branded DHD from Orange PL. Currently I run MIUI but want to get back to the Orange ROM. I changed CID to ORANGB10 and S-OFF to S-ON but now looking for RUU Orange PL. Asked google and found nothing. Does anybody have a clue where to look for it?
What about simlock? How to relock the phone? I have partition7 backup that supposed to contain such data?
Here is the location of the RUU, I have done the same, as my phone needed to be sent back for repairs:

Hi guys, just looking for a quick bit of advice. I'm currently on the stock orange rom, which is frankly terrible - i'm looking to put it onto the stock HTC rom (ie no orange bloatware). Im fairly confident I know how to do this (goldcard + roll the rom back to 1.32.405.6 then just run OTA)...but my question is how to get it back to orange, should I need to. I've just finished downloading the orange rom from the link above (thanks, aliveanddead!) - will it just be as simple as running the exe? Or am I missing something...
Pretty much the same method. I had to reverse it once. To change to stock HTC Rom, you need to unlock the phone like you said, via a goldcard, and I think you still need to s-off it, then flash the new HTC rom, or like you said, use the OTA. Although, I am not sure on this 100%, I think you need to s-on as the OTA will not work correctly, I'm sure I read something like that somewhere. Either way, give it a go with s-off still. From then on you might as well leave it s-off unless you really do need to s-on, incase you want to re-do the orange ROM at a later date.
You just run the ruu .exe, in windows, connected via USB, I think you have the phone just on normally, and it will ask you to restart, or force restart. Then use the same tool as I posted to reverse the s-off, and change the CID back to orange default. It then just erases the data, puts on the Orange rom.
Hope this helps

aliveanddead86 thanks for links. I downloaded UK ROM and seems it does not fit to my DHD because of CID difference. Mine is ORANGB10 but UK ROM requires ORANG001 or ORANG202 (according to android-info.txt file from rom.zip). I found ES RUU with ORANGB10 in android-info.txt but have not tried yet. Orange PL rom contains additional games such The Sims 3, Uno and Tetris, do you guys have them in your rom?
I did have those originally in my Rom (the games that is). You can change the CID to match the orange ROM then? But liek you said, it is the UK version, but can always give it a go? When you said about your CID, I thought mine was 001 when I changed it back.
I forgot you were from poland, the picture wasn't enough

Hi,
Trying to get my brother-in-law's HD back to stock orange ROM so it can go off for warranty repair, but the iloveabath.co.uk links don't appear to work any more. Would anyone have a stock orange RUU that I can use?

Hi here again!!
You should explain your roggers -> Bell simlock problem too.
Maybe you could have some help here too!!!
Does direct flash of a shipped ROM (.exe) could work?
Witch one to choose in this case?
Can't tell if you're asking a question or not.
If a simlock is active, rooting the phone will remove the simlock.
RUU's are only for the DZ, not the G2 (unless you count the very latest G2 update, 2.16.531.6)
Flashing a RUU (the .exe) will flash whatever stock rom is contained in it onto your device, if the version numbers and model id's and cid's all match (if you're S-ON)
if you're S-OFF, any RUU should run on your device, but will remove any custom recovery and eng hboot.
-Nipqer
Initially, my problem comes from the fact that I can't connect to the Bell network, with my phone to buy used, the guy who sale me told that is enlocked, he served under Rodgers before, however I have no message saying that my SIM is invalid when I insert my SIM or another of Telus. I have an X on the antenna, and only wifi works, I have manually configured the APN, replace the SIM, and spend hours to peel forum, Keno40 suggest me to Root, do my question we not sure that was the 1.34 work for1.31 build... excuse me if my text is a little low end, English is not my first language… If you have other idea to resolve my issue it will be great!

Hi there.
I'm new to the forum but have lurked and used some of the great information and tools that are available here.
So firstly, thank you.
Now.
I bought my One X in China (Where I live), in around August. It seems as though the one I got isn't a regular One X and because of that I'm having some problems.
A month and a half or so ago I installed an AOKP Rom which I've had some pretty intense bugs with, such as the the phone restarting whenever I toggle WiFi on or off. Because of that, I finally attempted to return to stock today. After a while, I found some success. I restored my nandroid backup, reflashed the stock recovery and relocked the bootloader. Happy that I was back to normal, I went to download the Jelly Bean OTA update, but kept having errors when doing so. (The green bar would reach about 1/3 of the way and then a red triangle showed up.) I've tried to troubleshoot and in doing so have found out that my CID is "11111111", so I have no idea what to make of it. All i could find was that this is some kind of superCID, but if it's preventing me from installing an OTA update then how do I go around this?
Is it possible to change my CID to something more accessible? This is the international Tegra 3 model by the way.
Additionally, the HBOOT screen shows that my phone is "ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-OFF RL". Is this normal?
Any answers would be extremely appreciated. Thank you.
You're really lucky actually, because a lot of people want exactly your phone - SuperCID and S-OFF. You cannot flash OTAs on a SuperCID phone iirc, but you can unlock the bootloader and flash something else
Hi, there are fastboot commands to change your cid if you are s-off but I am not sure why you would want to.
With s-off you can just go and flash the 1.39 hboot from mikes thread (link from his arhd thread OP)
I have same setup as you and have been wondering what actually is stock for me if I ever needed it. I don't have a nandroid from when I got the phone and I guess that s-off and super cid means I could pick any one ? But which.
Sent from my HTC One X
Thanks for the replies. I guess i have a better understanding now of what these things all mean.
So I gather if I want to get the stock Jellybean ROM I have to flash it myself?
Eh, that's kind of a pain but I guess it's not too bad. Do I go about it in the same way that anyone else would or will there be a variation based on the situation of my phone?
Thanks
I reckon someone with an s-on would gladly swop with you if its a pain you have the most flexibility as it is.
Flash whichever update you like without worrying about the cid matching. That's the magic of super cid. Then because you are s-off you also have the option to downgrade if that ever took your fancy.
There are many guides on how to do this written far better than I could so just search the forum.
Enjoy
Sent from my HTC One X
I see.
I've had a look around and I'm still a little confused to be honest.
Because I'm S-Off and have SuperCID, does that mean I can just choose a Jellybean OTA Update, download it, install it and upgrade the HBOOT?
Everything will be the same as if I upgraded OTA?
Sorry for being so useless.
Don't hang me for this info, see it more as a pointer to more info to search on
What i have read before is that you can write yourself a CID and update the hboot with a firmware from that CID. then you can run any software out there......
Do not run a ruu, it might mess up your s-off to s-on
When I get to my pc I will write up what I did with a link.
I did as Mr Hofs said but I did not need to change my cid from super to do it.
I have never tried an ruu.

Ok so first i read this and watched his youtube vid http://www.flow-wolf.net/2012/10/htc-one-x-perfect-guide-for-beginners.html
Check video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQasxRPopSM he works with an S-Off
I started on HBoot 1.12 i believe
Then I got my unlock token handy (one from htcdev) and made sure fastboot working etc
Then did a nandroid (which i subsequently deleted but hey i tried to do the right thing )
Then I got the latest firmware for HBoot 1.39 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 I downloaded the first 1.39 for WWE (x.xx.401.x - World Wide English (WWE))
No need to change your CID. Super CID works with any of them.
Now I just followed the usual steps explained many times here to flash the firmware.
You need to put the stock recovery back on. I got mine from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970&highlight=htc+one+x+*stock* EDIT: dont think you need this step actually -will let one of the pro's confirm.
Then relock bootloader and reboot in RUU and flash the firmware.
When done unlock bootloader again, flash custom recovery and flash a ROM. You can skip the extra step of flashing the boot.img as with S-Off your custom recovery can do it.
As mentioned by Mr Hofs I have no idea what an RUU would do to S-Off, Ive never tried.
Good luck.
Hi, all...
My M8 is bootloader unlocked, rooted (with Chainfire 2.46) and TWRP 2.8.7.0 custom recovery installed, and just recently I spent $25 to acquire S-OFF. Currently, there are no problems or issues with it.
A few days ago, I received the libStageFright (and Lollipop 5.0.2 update) OTA for CID: H3G__001.
(It's available here if anybody wants it.)
I didn't allow it to install for reasons which will become obvious in the next paragraph...
----
From what I've been reading here on XDA over the past few weeks, if rooted, simply unrooting and fastboot flashing the stock recovery isn't sufficient to allow the OTA.
Indeed, the various accounts I've read here on XDA seem to indicate that allowing the OTA causes bootloop/softbrick, remedied only by one of two options...
-----
i) Restoring an unmodified/unrooted NANDROID backup.
- or -
ii) Running an RUU.
-----
The first isn't an option for me, since I can't find an unrooted NANDROID backup for H3G__001. Leaving only the second option, of running an RUU.
(And which is why I bought Sunshine/S-OFF two weeks ago.)
The precise command line arguments don't concern me at the moment. I'm just looking for general clarification on several points of principle before I proceed.
----
I have several general questions...
-- As I understand it, with S-OFF, I can now pretty much flash what I want on my M8.
-- In order for me to run an RUU, I understand I may need to re-write my CID from H3G__001 to [what exactly???]
-----
My M8 is on the 3Mobile network in the United Kingdom.
** Which CID should I choose? What is recommended?
** Or is it obvious I just use Super-CID?
That's Globally Universal... right? Or am I wrong?
Super-CID is better? yes or no?
** What is the difference between a WWE CID and Super-CID? Or am I misunderstanding something here?
** Would my 3Mobile network SIM be recognized on the 3Mobile network once I've changed my CID?
** Would I need to also change my MID to run an RUU, and if so, to what?
** Finally, what RUU should I run?
-----
I'm just looking for general guidance here; some pointers really - I can take care of the fine details myself.
I'm in no immediate hurry to do any of this... patience is my watchword... but I'd like to understand exactly what I'm about to do before I do it.
I'm not concerned about wiping the device, nor am I concerned about loosing root. These are mere trifles. Root can re-acquired and all my data is safely backed up on my laptop... including a TWRP Nandroid of my current setup, should I need it in the event of any foul ups.
---
Apologies if my questions have been dealt with elsewhere and please feel absolutely free to tell me to come back after I've read every post on this forum if you think I'm clueless (...and you probably wouldn't be too far wrong ).
----
My ultimate goal here is simple... I want to 'convert' my M8 into a device I can simply and easily reflash by running an RUU, similar in some regards to reflashing Google Factory stock images on my Nexus 7 or Nexus 9 tablets... and where I don't have to worry about rooting it and then not being able to take the next OTA... and where I can just simply reflash back to stock in the event of some Xposed Module gone wrong... or perhaps maybe after experimenting with some Custom ROMs.
Right now, I don't feel I have complete control of my M8, and acquiring S-OFF was my first step in changing that. I just need some help/advice/pointers in the right direction.
-----
I've spent weeks reading everything I can... But the time is drawing near when I need to stop reading and start doing... I mean, I've paid $25 for S-OFF... I might as well start availing myself of the benefits it confers .
----
Thanks in advance, guys.
Cheers, all...
Rgrds,
Ged.

Excellent, and thank you, @ckpv5...
So... I located the 4.20.771.2 Nandroid I needed via your link. Restored it with TWRP 2.8.7.0 with no problems. Fastboot flashed the stock recovery (which I also found via your link ). Allowed the libStageFright+Lollipop 5.0.2 OTA to proceed - again, no problems.
(And it was this part that worried me - any problems, they were going to happen during the OTA update process - a bit nerve wracking to say the least !!)
Rebooted normally, and then booted back into the bootloader and remote booted TWRP from my laptop with <fastboot boot twrp.img>, and created a new unrooted 4.25.771.6 Nandroid in readiness for the next OTA should there be one. Whilst still in TWRP, re-rooted with Chainfire v2.46. Rebooted and re-installed all my apps with Titanium Pro.
The whole procedure took about an hour and a half, maybe a little longer.
-----
I can now rest a little easier, knowing now that although my M8 is rooted, I have both a current unrooted Nandroid AND the current stock recovery safely tucked away on my laptop .
Thank you once again for your help and for your extensive collection of Nandroids and stock recoveries.
Rgrds,
Ged.
No problem ... glad that I could help
Looks like the OP has solved the base problem. And I certainly do not recommend messing with the CID or RUUs at this point.
But academically speaking; just for their info (and any others that may have similar questions and be reading this thread):
GedBlake said:

These questions are sort of circular in nature. Meaning, the RUU you intend to run, determines what you need to change your CID and MID (model ID) to.
Phrased another way, the MID and CID need to match what the RUU is looking for (intended for); or the right MID and SuperCID.
GedBlake said:

Yes, your present carrier will still work. From what I've seen, changing the CID does not "lock" you to that particular network.
From what I understand, a good long while back, SuperCID on this device was related to SIM unlock (but no longer the case, SuperCID will not SIM unlock the phone anymore). But the opposite is not true; to my knowledge, changing the CID will not lock you to a carrier, or prevent you from using another carrier.

Super-CID is better? yes or no?
** What is the difference between a WWE CID and Super-CID? Or am I misunderstanding something here?
Click to expand...

The WWE CID (rather, a number of different CIDs) are actual distinct CIDs (although unbranded, and not really "carrier" IDs) which start with HTC__ (HTC__001, etc.). SuperCID is 1111111.
WWE CIDs identify the phone as an unbranded Euro Device. Where SuperCID makes the phone "generic" in that it will "pass" any CID check in an RUU or OTA. In that way (modding perspective), SuperCID can be looked at as "better".
Some folks have stated that SuperCID prevents official OTAs from installing (and that you need an actual CID). But folks smarter than me, I believe have contradicted that statement (OTA is okay with SuperCID).
That's the only possible "downside" that I can think of for SuperCID. And one that I don't believe is true, anyway.
