Question about CID

So i tried to find out my CID so I can try to flashh the RUU and when i use fastboot getvar cid it says none. I read this happens when you unlock you phone, but I have never done so. I am from Romania and I bought it from an online shop stating it was new. But when I got it it looked like it was branded T Mobile Germnay (the startup image is TMob and there are programs in german that i can't uninstall).
Is this a sign that I bought a phone that was already used by someone else unlocked and locked again with fastboot oem lock? And how can I find out the CID so I can be sure if i can flash the RUU or not?

To check CID, install CIDgetter from google play.

Thanks but I am having a little trouble finding it in that mountain of data that the app provides. Any ideea what string I should be looking for?
EDIT: Never mind, found it. It's T-MOB101. Guess I can't use the international RUU, right?

Correct, you need a T-Mobile branded RUU

Htc one m8 NEED Help

Well i have one htc one m8 from usa. Im in europe now. I need to change it to completely stock version. I dont really know whatbthat guy from whom i took the phone did on it, but im completely lost.
Its rooted with custom recovery and custom rom. I try many guides woth adb and staff and i fail.
If there is enybody who can guide me step by step will solve my problem.
Please help me.

First of all, there is a forum section for help and questions.
Secondly, what's the problem? You need to describe the problem (and provide specific details), if you want help.
Post more info, and I'll try to help; and also ask the mods to move this thread to the Q&A Help section.

Sorry about the thread on here and i beg mods to move it.
My problem is that i want to turn this mobile comepletely to stock version and ota updates.

What version? If it Sprint or Verizon, you can't convert it.
If its T-Mobile US or AT&T, you can.
Or some smaller US carrier version?

This statement doesn't tell us anything, and is close to useless.
What specific steps did you follow? What steps fail, or what is the specific result/issue?
You need to sort this out, since without adb/fastboot, you really can't do the conversion you want.

I don't really do "step by step" but I'll help. I leave it up to the individual to do the proper learning, so they can actually understand and gain some knowledge instead of just being spoon fed (and much of the info is already well explained in guides).
In general, you need to:
1) Get adb/fastboot working (you need to provide the proper info before I can help)
2) s-off with sunshine app ($25 US license): http://theroot.ninja/
3) Change CID and MID to the version desired: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/change-wwe-m8-to-dev-edition-ota-t2826567
4) Run the desired RUU.
But as already mentioned, this depends on what version you have. Don't even try this with Sprint or Verizon. It won't work, and will probably brick the phone.

Its unbranded version not in belongs to any carrier as i search about it. The cid is WWE.

I'm skeptical of both those statements.
Unbranded US versions do exist, but are fairly uncommon. Its more likely a branded version, that has had its branding removed.
"WWE" is not a valid CID. Where are you getting this from?
You need to get fastboot working, so you can give us getvar data, so we can get the proper info on what version this is.

I have flashboot working. How can i see the proper cid?

You aren't reading very carefully, are you? "flashboot" isn't a thing. Please use the correct terminology.
Use the command: fastboot getvar all
The command won't work if you type "flashboot" :crying:
Post the output, but be sure to delete your IMEI and serial number before posting, as these are private info.

I try all you recomend. Still nothing working. My cid is like i said wwe. Htc_001

I try to change cid and mid but when i do command adb shell i get error that my device not found

No you didn't (at least not successfully). The phone is still s-on. You skipped (or tried and failed) the step of getting s-off.
This step is not optional. s-off is required to change CID and MID.
But read more below, as I'm not sure you need s-off, or to change the CID/MID.

First of all, you only said the CID was "WWE" which is just a description, and not an actual CID. You should have supplied the specific CID. WWE version has at least 15 different CIDs. When you ask for help, you need provide the info requested, and to be specific as possible.
Further, the CID as you typed it (Htc_001) is not correct. It needs to be in CAPS, 8 characters long, with 2 underscores: HTC__001
Most importantly, if the CID is in fact HTC__001, its already an unbranded Euro version, not US as you originally claimed. And if that is the case, you don't need to s-off or change the CID, MID.
Something doesn't seem right here. I need more information before we should proceed any further. You really need to do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (which I previously requested, but you chose to ignore). Be sure to delete IMEI and serial number before posting the getvar output.
I really need this data, before I can give you any further instructions.

HTC 10 Stock Rom to TMobile USA

Hey guys,
Several months ago I made my TMobile HTC 10 to an unlocked HTC 10. All was well until I sent my phone to Europe for my cousin. Whenever they insert a sim card, they get a message saying to enter carrier unlock pin. I was hoping when I installed the unlocked OS that I/others would be able to use the phone with any carrier. So now I'm here trying to figure out 1) how to find the code since tmobile says they can't get to it since they do everything through the app ( device unlock) now, which we are unable to reinstall since it says wrong carrier or 2) how to go back to the tmobile bloated os as i dont remember the steps and dont remember the CIM or DIM of the original ( i only remember changing the CIM). Thank you to all that help!

Since you're s-off why don't you just flash a tmo ruu, like the latest one on HTC's website and then go through whatever procedure tmo wants you to.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
From the stock backup thread, the cid/mid for tmo are
CID: T-MOB010 | MID: 2PS650000
You only need to change the cid, as the tmo and unlocked have the same mid.
Then run the ruu from above.
I also remember seeing some threads about sim unlocking for tmo, try searching for those.

how to change the modelID of verizon one m8. adb method not working and i am stuck with this model id.
I want to convert it back to stock verizon. please help.

Hello

Why you have to change mid?

As I clearly mentioned I am talking about the MID here. My MID is messed up and I want the ways to repair it. aDB method ain't working.
P.S- I am on super cid so cid is not an issue

What do you mean that it's not working? Did you get an error message? Do you have adb connectivity?
Did you change the MID in the first place (or was it done by someone else)? Changing the MID on the Verizon device is not a good idea. Nothing good can come from it. Folks usually change, in order to flash another version's firmware or RUU. But these are not compatible with the VZN version, and can lead to permanent damage.

As the OP already noted, what he is asking (how to change MID) has nothing to do with restoring a TWRP backup.
Also, the thread you linked doesn't apply to the Verizon version.
I know you are new to the forum. But please make sure you understand the question, and the proper answer, before trying to help.
In particular, giving someone the wrong advice on a Verizon device, can lead to permanent damage.

I changed my MID in order unlock the bootloader as I already gained s off earlier. As a matter of fact htc wont allow verizon m8's to unlock the bootloader so I changed the MID to that of sprint's to unlock BL. But now my modelID is somewhat like that I mentioned in the title.
Any suggestions?
Adb not working I mean that all process ran fine in command window but no results MID remains the same. No error in adb and fastboot.

So you actually changed to Sprint MID, and then went through HTCDev.com process to unlock the bootloader?
Yeah, I know bootloader unlock is not available through HTCDev.com for the Verizon M8. But I've never seen anyone do that way (change to Sprint MID) before. Do you see someone else do it this way, or advise you to?
It seems roundabout to do it that way. Since with s-off, all you need to do is change the bootloader flag with a few adb command (HTCDev.com not needed): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708571

So you ran the command exactly as described in this thread? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581
You sure there was no typos (cut and paste to be sure)?
If so, maybe change back to Sprint, then run the command to make it VZN MID again? That is all I can think of. No other way to get to VZN MID, that I know of.

yeah my commands were exactly same and output too as shown on the thread. all process ran fine but when i check again no change in MID . IDk what's the problem here . is there any other method you know apart from adb method.

can't install updates please help

hello guy's, i'm a real noob with htc or "rooting" etc and i'm facing a problem. I just bought a htc one m9 with android 6. I think its refurbished because it look like new but the left speaker is louder than the right, and are not loud at all. So I thought I would update it for maybe solve the problem, but I have the update notification and when i click on it, it say the sytem is not stock so can't update. The phone isn't root so i don't know why i'm facing this, so after a long research i did many things like try to install RUU..exe or with RUU;zip and no one want to install. At one moment i change the CID and the OTA begin the update by itself (don't show the "not stock system" message anymore" but stop at 25% and reboot. I'm really confused and don't understand anythings, last thing i did is unlock the bootloader but doesn't change anythings. Is it possible to reinstall a pure stock version ? and after update it ? I am not interested by rooting the phone, i just want pure stock version and be able to update the phone, is it possible to get help? Thanks !

What's the current CID of the phone? Which firmware version is currently installed? Which model name is engraved on the backside of the phone? Is the phone S-ON or S-OFF?
Please read the ReadMe thread in the general section if you don't know how to answer any of the questions.

current cid : htc 001 (don't remember what it was before i change it, something like 1111111)
firmware : 3.35.401.12
model : nothing on the backside (just htc) but on download mode i see "product: htc_himauhl"
S-OFF

Ok. The SuperCID (11111111) was the culprit of your initial problem. On older HTC phones it was a way to unlock kind of a region free mode. On the M9 however, that CID prevents official updates from being installed.
Is your current CID really htc 001? Or is it HTC__001? Only the latter one is written in the legit format. The former one won't work.
HTC__001 is one of the CIDs that would match your current SKU (401).
The model name in download mode can be changed via RUUs. As long as no one changed the backplate, only the engraving on the backside of the phone shows the true model name. The engraving is quite small on the downer part of the backplate. Can you please take another look and see if you can find it? The ReadMe contains some commonly asked questions. There should be one that covers the engraving.
We should only proceed with flashing RUUs if we know the model name of your phone. It's not wise to flash GSM RUUs on a CDMA phone or vice versa.

real cid is : HTC__001 (from getvar all)
I search everywhere with camera and there is nothing about the model, the person I bought it from told me it was refurbished, maybe thats a false case ? am I stuck ?

It's up to you to decide whether you want to try flashing the 3.35.401.12 RUU or not. All clues imply that you have a 0PJA10000. However, we don't know for sure.
In case you want to proceed: Check the MD5 sum of the file that you can find in the ReadMe thread. Flash it with the instructions for the SD card method.
Afterwards the phone should be working normally, again. Unless it's not a CDMA variant. In the latter case you would at least get problems with network reception.
Edit with another thougt that comes to my mind: What's the fastboot getvar result for your MID. Since the refurbisher used the SCID they most likely didn't know that the M9 behaves differently than older HTC phones and probably didn't change the original MID.

the getvar mid is : 0PJA10000 but i change it too and don't know the initial.
I will try the process, i don't understand what you mean by "check the MD5"
is this file is good ? : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952597788
Is it possible to flash it with the pc instead of sd card ? if it's mandatory the sd card I will buy one

Well, if you manually changed the MID, didn't write down the original MID and there's no engraving on the backside of the phone then there's no way to know for sure which variant you own.
C.f. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5
Tl;dr: Check whether the file didn't get broken during download (e.g. due to connectivity issues). The ReadMe thread suggests useful programs for that purpose.
Flashing broken files might lead to unrecoverable bricks; especially on S-OFF phones. "Good" file hosts like AndroidFileHost will always mention the reference MD5 value for their downloads.
The SD card method is the most fail safe method for flashing RUUs on a M9. That's why I recommend to use it, always. You'll want to get a card that has not more than 32 gb due to the needed format. Those cards should cost less than 10 €.
Edit: You can't use the RUU that you linked. Please read the ReadMe thread, thoroughly. That RUU uses a different encryption key. Everything you need can be found in the ReadMe thread. Trying to flash just any random RUU is quite dangerous on a S-OFF device due to the security checks being turned off. You might risk a brick.
