[Q] CID: Can we change it? - HTC One X

Apparently it's switched to None to allow flashing various ROMs... does that mean that it is currently possible to change it without S-OFF?
If so, how?

I think this whole cid:none thing is misinformation. If you use the other fastboot command your cid will be shown (exact command escapes me right now) I don't think it gets changed at all by unlocking the bootloader. You still have to flash the ruu for your cid

CID: None

hi guys
i tried the "fastboot getvar cid" to check the CID on my one X, and it returned that the there is no CID code stored (cid: None)
is this normal ? when there is an update from HTC, how will they know which firmware to push to my mobile ?
Thanks
Did you unlock through htcdev? I believe this removes your CID

I have not unlocked it yet. It is still untouched with the original firmware that came with it
Known issue. I think you can read cid by adb shell getprop ro.cid

If you don't mind, what was the CID value?
Did you buy your phone from Dubai? Where & how much?
I got it from Gridzdirect for AED 2499/- but my CID is HTC__044, which is for hTC Asia WWE.
When previuosly got my Sensation, the CID was HTC_J15.

What is the impact of having a CID : None? From what i read, by unlocking the phone using HTCDev.com will remove the CID, then how else would anyone still have the CID?
my stock unlock one with cid:none too
from singtel
with adb shell I have O2__001.
What kind of rom can I install?
For example, can I install this one:
'RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.7_Radio _1.1204.104.14_release_259281_signed'
I rooted the phone and installed CWM.
The original software on the phone is: 1.26.206.2
Radio is 1.1204.90.13
Language dutch
Thanks in advance

It looks like you have an O2 branded device. If your device is locked to your operator, you will have to wait for an update from O2.

You can flash a European ruu any time. Even without unlocking, because european ruu's already have cid htc__15 in them.
But note that if u flash a newer (higher version) european ruu then u wont be able to go back. Also, u wont get ota updates automatically.

With the sensation and evo 3d, that was the case.
For the One X, you never know.
Actually, for the evo 3d, s-off was not required. I was able to change cid with htcdev unlock only.

If you have unlocked via HTCDev the this would have removed your CID in which case yes you should be able to flash the WWE RUU on a branded device.
If you have not unlocked and are still running stock then no it wont work.
Does HTCDev unlock remove CID? Unless it changed to 11111111 you still won't be able to flash an RUU AFAIK

It does indeed. It doesn't change it to 1111111 it completely removes it altogether.
I re locked the bootloader the other day and re-flashed the WWE RUU as im sending it back (screen flickering problem) and it worked with no issues.
Vodafone Australia
I am Vodafone Australia and unlocked my phone via HTCdev. I am also facing the same problem (screen flickering)and need to send it back. I have re-locked it. As you just said "I re locked the bootloader the other day and re-flashed the WWE RUU as im sending it back" can you please explain how did you re-flash the WWE RUU? steps or link?

You need to get the vodafone au ruu. General wwe releases will not work for you. Pretty sure the correct ruu is available in the dev section.

Stock RUU for 1.28 needed
Hi there
I have effectively killed my HTC one - I unlocked via htcdev and upgraded the recovery - fastboot shows the device id when running the command fastboot devices.
However I am now stuck in a boot loop where the phone only boots to hboot (following a failed boot.img flash) I have downgraded back to stock recovery and re locked but cant find the 1.28 RUU to recover the device (and I did try the RUU for 1.26 but it wouldnt install)
Once I updated te recovery i ran the fastboot boot boot.img command
This failed to progress past the 'htc quietly brilliant' flash screen.
I dont have the rom .zip saved on my internal memory on the phone - I was hoping to be able to push it to the /data/ partition however when I try this sdb returns no connected device.
Wonder if anyone can assist in either
a - returning to stock with a RUU for 1.28
or
b - advise how to flash the files I need onto the phone (it seems that the ROM isnt booting so I assume its from the point I install boot.img and beyond I need so help)
Unfortunately I cant get the phone to boot to copy files to the memory so need to work entirely in fastboot and adb (assuming adb wil recognise the handset)
Many thanks
Gurry

But relocking it puts it back so unless you were on HTC__001 you'd be back on the VODAP001 CID

If you unlock your bootloader via HTC Dev this removes the CID and allows you to flash any RUU. Essentially exactly the same as the Goldcard tool does.

Mmmmm no i don't think that is the case, just look in the shipped ROM thread and see all the people with branded phones that can't flash different regions ruu.

Only speaking from experience. Mine was T-Mob branded, unlocked with HTCDev, CID showed as "None" then was able to flash the WWE RUU.

Interesting, don't suppose you know what software version you were on before do you ? 401 is the WWE, mine is 206.
I tried flashing the WWE on my o2 branded phone after I had relocked my boot loader but obviously didn't work....I'm just trying it now after re unlocking it

The fastboot command to query it doesn't work for some reason and will always return None even if there is a CID set.

fastboot shows None as the CID for my One X which is still S-ON LOCKED and I know it has a CID because its a Orange UK branded handset. It just doesn't work for some reason. It isn't related to the security mode or whether it is locked, unlocked or relocked.

S-ON is different. I have unlocked my bootloader and I still have S-ON. Whenever you unlock the bootloader your CID is gone. I have read many owners of the One X that has the same result when they unlock the bootloader.

I know. My post was a reply to monkeyphonix who said they couldn't see the CID normally but could see it with CID getter. It is because getting the CID using fastboot doesn't work for some reason.

Regardless of the 'None' response from an htcdev.com unlock, you can get the CID of your device by using the following command:
fastboot oem readcid
This will show the OEM CID number - which is the one that controls which RUU can be flashed to your phone.
Hope this helps someone.

Ahh. So that is how you get the CID via fastboot.
I knew what my CID was anyway but here is what it should look like:
fastboot oem readcid
...
(bootloader) DEBUG: cid: ORANG001
OKAY [ 0.051s]
finished. total time: 0.052s
Obviously, once we get S-OFF the following command will grant SuperCID status.
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
I'm waiting on a couple of cables to arrive that will allow me to try out the Gold Card approach used on the HTC Mango devices - hopefully the One X will go into USB host mode?

bootloader downgrade and cid change

I have unlocked my phone via htc dev, and i installed the 2.17 RUU and i have problems with my phone and i would like to change the cid to super cid (mine is ht_j15 at the moment), i would like to revert to 1.29 firmware via ruu but it gives me an error because my bootloader is an updated version, so is it possible to downgrade to the old bootloader version as well as get super cid, please help
cheers
The short answers for the three questions is no, no, and no.
but i have s-off :s, and will these no's ever change to yes ???
XD XD
Have you tried the fastboot command (In fastboot):
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
If thats succesfull then you should be able to flash any rom.
Note down your original CID for warranty by issueing the following command in bootloader:
fastboot getvar cid
Why would you use HTCdev if you're s-off?
It's useless

I get none when I issue fastboot getvar cid, is this equivalent as having the 11111111 set ?
Have you actually got s-off or have you just unlocked with htcdev? There 2 different things

You had mistaken some facts, HTC never providings any official s-off. The htcdev.com offers you to unlock bootloader, it had limitations and you're not getting s-off through it.
ya sry about that . btw I contacted htc dev and to my surprise they told me to check the internet forums for ways to s-off the device (i did mention to them that the device s-off ed now is the snapdragon varient) and they said they have no intentions of releasing the s-off :S.

[Q] com.android.phone stopped..!

Hi guys.Im new to HTC one X.I just bought an HTC one X from e-bay and it came pre rooted thought the phone looks brandnew.I tried to insert a sim and my phone keeps on showing an error saying process.com.android.phone is stopped and it does not show any signal bars.After several reboots sometimes signal bars do appear sometimes.But i am unable to make or recieve calls as my phone app keeps on force closing. My phone has stock ICS.
So if i flash a stock RUU will the problem be solved or is there anything that i can do to make my phone work?thank you.
I would recommend flashing a stock RUU.
You would need to check your CID and whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked. To do this, you can hold power+volume up down buttons to reboot phone to bootloader and see the first line.
The RUU you flash must match your CID.

Thanks for the help(i hit the thanks button too
one more question.Mine has got super CID.
So what RUU should i flash?
You mean Super CID 11111111?
Did you check with:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot oem readcid
If my understanding is correct, you should be able to flash any RUU with any CID in that case.
Just make sure the RUU you are flashing is for your device model (HTC One X Endeavor, not HTC One XL or anything else)
I have never owned a supercid device though, so you might want to confirm with someone else.
