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

Huh~ never mentioned OP singanture's stating s-off.
Yes, I think he is mistaking he had s-off device through htcdev.
holy s***, am sorry guys i didn't see that its still s-on, but i sent a message to htc dev about not getting s-off and some harsh words as well. hope they will reply.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

Interesting, don't suppose you know what software version you were on before do you ? 401 is the WWE, mine is 206.

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?
Guys,
I'm trying to get my JB flasher tool to work with S-Off devices. (Mine is S-On so I can't test)
Can anyone with a S-off phone that's upgraded the FW let me know the procedure. There seems to be confusion about which commands work with a locked bootloader and S-off so don't speculate, only respond if you know it works.
Specific question:
If you have a CID of 11111111 does it need changing to a compatible CID from the androidinfo.txt? If so, how? Does the bootloader need to be unlocked?
Can the bootloader be unlocked without htcdev code? If yes, how?
Can all fastboot commands be run with S-off but a locked bootloader?
Thanks
DO NOT UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!!!!
You will have to add the Super CID to the android-info.txt before flashing but other than that it's the same process as S-ON users

As easy as that. Thanks:good:
PS So S-off will ignore the broken signature?
Also, if someone has already unlocked their bootloader (due to not realising the power of S-Off ), I assume it'll need to be relocked before installing the firmware.zip?
PS Can boot.img be flashed via fastboot if its locked on a S-off phone?
Also, can I replace the recovery.img with CWM in the zip, or even just remove it. Same goes for the boot.img
If you're S-OFF you basically have the same rights as someone with an unlocked bootloader plus more so you can flash CWM/boot etc. through fastboot without unlocking the bootloader. As you said, S-OFF ignores the signature. So long as it's a proper update.zip it should flash without issues (I should qualify this by saying I'm basing this on my HTC Sensation and what I could/couldn't do with S-OFF. If I had an S-OFF One X I could give you a 100% answer)

Hi there,
I have a One X with S-OFF, which says ***LOCKED*** in fastboot. When I try to flash a recovery or a boot.img via fastboot command line, I get an error saying FAILED:remote not allowed. I presume this is caused by the bootloader being locked. But then, since I have S-OFF, i should be able to simply unlock and re-lock without too much hassle by using fastboot oem unlock. However, this doesn't seem to work, I get the following error:
C:\Flashing>fastboot oem unlock
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.017s]
finished. total time: 0.018s
Click to expand...

It's really locked, because when I try fastboot oem lock it says "device was already locked!"
Does anyone have an idea what is causing this, and why I can't simply unlock the bootloader?
Thanks in advance!
You need, however, unlock your bootloader with htc dev..
Why would I need to do that? That's the whole use of my S-OFF without HTCDev: so that HTC doesn't know I have it.
I always see HOX with s-off but locked, and for rooting this you have to unlock your bootloader with htcdev..
I don't know why, but htc don't know that you have s-off if you will unlock your bootloader...
Sounds weird indeed. Unlocking of the bootloader should really not be necessary when having a S-OFF phone.
Could you post a picture of your phone in HBOOT screen?

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.

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.
