[Q] How do I change my CID (and get EU RUU)

I have gotten myself a s-offed HTC One X from a local carrier with their firmware on it so I have no real hope of fast updates...
CIDgetter says in the top left I have CID of 11111111, yet going down to ro.aa.maincid says TELENZ001 - the carrier
Obviously I am s-offed and can get into the bootloader, how do I go about changing my CID and flashing a European RUU?

Have you tried just plugging in when in fastboot and running the RUU? If you really do have Super CID it'll just work

Sorry to ask this but have you contacted the guys in the s-off thread? They may be interested in hearing from you.

Mind giving me a walk through guide Eddy? With a $600 toy I don't wanna mess anything up...
Will post in that thread badger and see if I can be of any use

Can you make a picture of the bootloader. To see what version HBOOT and radio you have. Maybe this is causing the issue.

Boot phone into fastboot, connect to PC, run RUU - not a lot else to do!
It'll either work or give you an error and reboot, with no changes made

Cid-11111111
hboot-0.43.0000
radio-1.1204.90.13

wawawawa!
Don't change your CID! a CID of 11111111 should be able to flash anything. SuperCID!

I realise that ofcourse, its the maincid I want changing. I assume flashing the EU RUU will change that maincid?
On that note can anyone link me to the RUU I would want?
Oh and I did post in the s-off thread, skimmed through the pages since my post and no one seemed to say anything in regards to my post

If you have superCID then choose whatever RUU you want from HERE. It will not change your CID if you flash a particular RUU.

May I hook on to this.
My CID is O2__001. So I want to change it into 111111.
When I boot into fastboot and give 'fastboot oem writecid 11111111' it says:
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links).
I've tried different usb-ports, different usb-cables
Or is there another way to change the CID?
Bootloader is unlocked (HTCDev)
HBoot: 0.43.0000
Softwareversion is still 1.26.206.2, no updates available
Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance

How do I change S-ON to S-OFF

You can't, and this is why the OP has a rare phone...
Go do some reading and you'll see why we can't get it

You're really fast! Thanks, I will search.

If you have S-OFF you don't have any need for HTCdev. Being superCID your phone can get OTA updates as long as you have stock recovery.

Thought that might be the case, as for flashing the RUU, is it the standard CWM way or with the fastboot files you mentioned in the video in your sig? Do the same instructions apply from it for me?

[Q] Get back to stock using Ruu

So, I'm running Android Revolution HD 6.0 and I want to get back to stock...
My phone came with an Asian Rom of some sort and I have a Nandroid Backup.
I've tried to simply flash a Ruu "Europe_1.29.401.11" but it force close before any process start.
Do I have to get back to that stock, then relock the bootloader to do so???
Can I re-Unlock the bootloader if I need sometime??
It's my first HTC, I'm ok about using odin and rsd lite but never flashed any Ruu, so in HTC matters I'm pretty noob.
Thanks.

You have to re-lock bootloader to flash official RUUs, and you can unlock it everytime you want using the unlock.bin you get from HTCdev (on your mail).
But you have to be sure you are using the right RUU

Read the threads relating to ruu carefully. Pretty important.
One thing. You can't use any ruu. Your phone did have a Asian rom initially and so you need the ruu corresponding to that area. And if phone was branded, you need the ruu specific to that brand.
So like if you your phone was from Hong Kong region, you need Hong Kong specific and carrier specifi(if your hox was branded ) ruu.
One more thing, u can only use the ruu of your current os version.
So if you're on 1.29.11, you can't use ruu for 1.29.7
See stickies for in android development section for ruu.
Although I think re locking bootloader should be enough and you should be good to use ruu, do check it.
Not sure if it would require flashing stock rom or stock recovery.
Last thing... Why use ruu? It's probably the last thing you should do unless it's a try to reclaim warranty.

I just want to get my phone to a stock rom, that was why...
but I guess I'll just stick to custom roms, since the Ruu stuf is actually pretty scarring... I tought it was simple to do, since fhasing via odin was always fast and safe...
But that's ok!
Thanks!!!

So, that was my shipped Ruu...
Can I flash an European over it??

It's very simple really.
1. Find the correct RUU
2. Flash stock recovery(not 100% sure if needed, I did it though)
3. Relock bootloader
4. Run RUU while still in fastboot.

You can only flash the one that matches your region ... to find that out, you first have to find out your CID (something like HTC_001 or O2_002) out with THIS tool from the play store...and in the bootloader you will find the HBOOT version (0.94, 0.96 ...) ... post both here and ill let you know which RUU you need

afaik there is no 1.29 RUU for that region yet

OK!
Thanks..
as I said in the first post, I'm pretty noob in HTC...
just another question, can someone clarify what the numbers in the name of the RUU files means?

Software Status: Modied?

I just got my M8 Developer Edition a couple of months ago. CID is BS_US002. MID: 0P6B12000. The only thing I did to the phone was to root it, nothing else. I didn't S-OFF or anything. The only thing before updating to Lollipop, SuperSU binary update failed, I didn't root again as Lollipop was around the corner and was going to do it anyway. While rooting Lollipop, I found at HBoot that Software status: Modified. What could be the reason for that? How can I fix that? I unrooted, did a factory reset and nothing changes.
Here are the full details on HBoot
Software status: Modified
UNLOCKED
M8_UL_CA PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
RADIO-1.24.21331147A1.096
OPENDSP-V48.2.2-00564-M8974_FO.1211
OS-4.16.1540.8
eMMC-boot 2048 MB
Any idea how to fix that?
Thanks in advance!

It means changes have been made at some point to the system, e.g. it's been unlocked (as yours says)

It's not simply being unlocked as the device ships direct from HTC with the bootloader unlocked. That being said I have no idea what makes it switch to "Modified" status. Mine is S-OFF with custom rooted ROM (though it is sense-based and pretty close to stock) and custom recovery and it still displays as "Official".

I thought they came locked and you can just use the fastboot command like the GPe? Obviously not! In which case, something else has been changed for it to say that

If you're not bothered about setting up the phone again you could reflash the new RUU and it should correct anything that was changed

Indeed but I don't think that was the issue at hand. He wanted to change the "Modified" status on his phone.
EddyOS suggested that he uses an RUU to turn everything back to normal, hence why he asked for the RUU.

What was your version number before flashing the Euro firmware?
If you want Euro firmware, its probably best to run the 401 RUU (and "fully convert" to Euro), instead of trying to run AT&T software with Euro firmware.

You need to provide more info.
What RUU and where did you get it from?
What was the failure message in detail? Did any of the partitions install (if so, which ones? and on what partition did it fail?)? Or did it abort before any installation?
What does "phone died" mean? Did it go dark right after you tried to RUU? Did it simply run out of battery? Did you try charging it? Does the screen come on at all if you hold the power button for 30 seconds or more?

I have no way of helping you with this, if you can't remember the reason it failed.
The link refers back to XDA, so it may be okay, but I really have no way of knowing if it really is or not.
The same RUU from reputable source is posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Try running the RUU again, and note or do a screenshot of the error message(s).

Again, that doesn't really tell me what happened. No system means you were stuck on the HTC logo screen? Able to go into bootloader? No recovery at all, or back to stock recovery (red triangle with exclamation).

That is not the right version number for the AT&T version. Please clarify or correct it.
What you have now is a weird mix of hacked firmwares, custom ROM, etc.
So again, I think its best to do the official RUU to WWE (Euro) 401 "clean" fully stock baseline including all stock firmware, ROM, etc. Then see if that improves your signal problem, or troubleshoot from there.

Can't flash anything and phone goes into random reboots

I'm currently at loss for what to do now, heres what happened which I think started all these problems
-Was running ICE 5.5.1 stable
-Phone randomly reboots into HTC's white startup screen
-went into TWRP and wiped everything including internal storage
-flashed a new rom hoping it'll stop the reboots, and halfway during the flash the phone reboots itself even before completing

digged around and found that I might need to flash 0PJAIMG.ZIP. Any kind helpful souls out there able to post the image for 3.42.708.3? Tried finding everywhere but couldn't find the relevant file in this forum

You can flash any 3.xx.708.xx firmware. Only the first and third set of numbers really matter. The second set is incremental version, forth set is times to push to devices.
Bear in mind that your device is rooted and unlocked bootloader so flashing stock isn't an option.

Flashing an RUU is definitely the way to go, and will work just fine as long as your SKU and OS version match with the RUU you're attempting to flash.
Being rooted and/or having an unlocked bootloader will not affect the success/failure of flashing an RUU. Follow the instructions on the readme page and you should be golden.

I've tried and the only RUU that matches the SKU 708 is 1.32.708.15, is it possible to flash that on my current firmware? I've read that it's not compatible... or is it?

ruu.exe only?. These htc rules are confusing. There needs to be a sticky with the requirements for each state of the phone.

too old. You can't downgrade.

Probably not. Only HTC can fix it afaik. I reckon your attempts to flash will fail.

You've read correctly. You need a 3.xx.708.xx RUU (EDITED: See Flippy498's correction below). It may be possible to get on from a paid repository of firmwares, but I don't have any recommendations there.
While HTC can almost assuredly help you (for a fee), it may be worthwhile to look into the paid service mentioned in the readme thread to see if that is more cost-effective.

No, not only the first and the third number of the firmware version matter for S-ON phones. The X and the SKU in X.XX.SKU.YY need to match between the RUU and the phones current firmware. Only Y is allowed to differ if the phone is S-ON.
And a RUU actually flashes everything back to stock. So this

There is a sticky with all needed information for RUUs: The ReadMe thread. (But as always, if you call something "ReadMe" you can rest assured that no one really reads it...) Flashing RUU.exe files can be a pain (just like using htc_fastboot)*. It's easier to use the SD card method. The ReadMe thread even explains how to get the *.zip out of the *.exe.
* I actually never had issues with them but I faced enough users here on XDA and on Handy-FAQ who just couldn't get them to work.

As mentioned before by the others, that RUU is too old.

How about Llabtoofer's RUU service as suggested in the ReadMe thread? Or Easy-Firmware if you prefer to own the RUU? (If you choose the latter make sure not to download a RUU with "combined_signed" in its naming. Those are custom made and only flashable with S-OFF. And don't forget to make it available for others, afterwards. )

Thanks for the suggestions! Sad to know that Easy-Firmware is only available for S-OFF users, it could've been great if its flashable on S-ON. Looks like the only way out of is Llabtoofer's RUU service

Easy-Firmware is usable for S-ON users. You just need to make sure that you don't download a "combined_signed" RUU. The ones with only "signed" should be just fine (e.g. "0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_3.42.708.3_Radio_01.01_U11440801_97.04.60111G_F_release_471142_signed_2_4_2.zip" or "0PJAIMG_HIMA_UHL_M60_SENSE70_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_3.42.708.3_Radio_01.01_U11440801_97.04.60111G_F_release_471142_signed_2_4.zip").

Any rough estimates on how much will the repair by HTC cost?
