SuperCID on HTC Desire C - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

So there was an exploit found for the One X to change the CID and I thought I'd try and adapt the same method for the Desire C (if possible).
My phone is rooted, ROM is Nameless v2.0.2
So I started dumping all the mmcblk0p1, p2, p3 etc till I got to p7. Open that up in the hex editor and at offset 0000200 there's my CID (locked to Bell Mobility here in Canada) BM___001 ... so now I thought I'd give it a whirl myself. It seems that this is the wrong location however, because changing that to 11111111 and then pushing back to the phone, reboot, fastboot getvar cid gives me the same thing, BM___001 ... am I being a newb and this is because of S-ON?? In the original version he says to check the cid by using fastboot oem readcid but that doesn't seem to be supported in my version of fastboot. I don't know... anyway, any and all help would be appreciated. I'm going to try and find any other instances of the CID in any of the block partitions...
Hopefully someone else cares as much as I do :fingers-crossed:
So there's another instance of the CID at offsets 1440/1450 in the same file, /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
I'll try changing both and see what happens... nothing, apparently.. still getting BM___001 from fastboot getvar cid

[Q] Radio Flash & CID Change

Hi

In MOST cases once you do these changes you loose the ability to do OTA
Why have you done this is you still feed the need to stick with the stock rom?

Technically they are all right, but the important one is the bootloader one, which tells the phone in bootloader mode that it's unbranded. As i said earlier it's a known issue and being worked on so currently your stuck with the different CIDs
An Android known issue or an Htc / operator branding one? I'd like to know right know
Anyway I solved, installing a stock ROM 1.32.x, visionary+ permroot and one tool eng s-off. SystemInfo appeared into menu.

Unable to fix MID after using HTC Dev

While trying to flash the new RUU I got some bad advice and relocked my bootloader. To unlock it again I changed the cid to 1111111 and used HTC Dev to unlock again.
I've now changed my CID back to VZW__001, but my MID is still 0P6B20000. I've tried following these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707627, but even after recieving this successful response:
Code:
17+0 records in
17+0 records out
17 bytes transferred in 0.004 secs (4250 bytes/sec)
When I run getvar mid my mid is still 0P6B20000. This is keeping me from flashing the RUU which is looking for the correct mid of PN0731000 and fails with "FAILED (remote: 52 image check fail)".
Does anyone have any idea how I can correct my mid so I can flash this RUU and update my firmware?

Are you sure you have the right RUU for M8 ?
AFAIK PN0731000 is for M7
0P6B20000 is M8

Not Getting The OTA Update To 6.0

i just bought HTC M8 Days ago but it was pre rooted and on the 5.0.1 i cant update it to marshamllow
it S-Off and when i try to update it says you have the latest update
Software number
4.18.708.12
i tried to install OTA Flash via stock recovery but i got error
how i updaate manually or enable OTA's
dont wanna root now
please help me here
You can't install OTA on rooted ROM ... it needs pure non-rooted stock ROM.
You can try to restore only the system partition from non-rooted backup.
You can get the backup and stock recovery for 4.18.708.12 here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
i deleted root before doing any thing
can i do it without rooting or unlocking bootloader because i dont know how to do it on HTC Phone and those CID and stuff really bug me out
itried flashing ota with stock recovery got this error
http://prntscr.com/bivh4o
whats wrong here ?
Why on post #1 you said you have HKG 4.18.708.12
But in your screenshot you tried to install EU 6.12.401.4 OTA
and it failed because your stock recovery is TMOB US.
Post here fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no.

if the first cid and mid is the current now you can't flash Tmobile RUU
( there is a simple fix for this issue as you said your device is s-off but i'm afraid to say it,then you screw up )
so post the result of fastboot getvar all ( after removing serial and imei numbers ) to be certain what you need to do
and don't use an app to read cid and mid

Are you located in US and on T-Mobile network ?
If no, I suggest you to change the MID to EU MID 0P6B10000 then install EU Marshmallow RUU.
Some say once you have SuperCID, there is no need to change MID as SuperCID will override MID but in my experience that will never happen (flashing a modded firmware.zip is different as it has almost all MID in its android-info.txt). Unless you MID is SuperMID, you need to change MID to EU if you want to install EU RUU.
You can follow this guide to change MID - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581
then install RUU - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
If yes, in US and on T-Mobile network, you need different approach.

Then go for the option that I mentioned earlier.
First - change MID
Second - install RUU
Change MID
What you need to do .. boot to bootloader and install TWRP - maybe version 2.8.7.0 will do
https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
after you install TWRP - boot to recovery
Mount - system
then open command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
then type
adb shell
follow by
Code:
echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384
don't write yourself the code, copy and paste
then type exit
select reboot menu, select bootloader
then install RUU
Edit : your bootloader is locked, relocked or unlocked ? If locked and relocked, you can't fastboot flash the TWRP in normal way.
Download this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70439093&postcount=412
No worry about the OS no. that will be changed later once you install RUU
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then follow with the above to change MID
Install RUU

htc one m8 tmobile software update problem

Guys, my htc one m8 tmobile op6b130 ( bootloader looked, s-off) current software 4.16.1540.8. ... It does not install the update and says that i must revert back to original system software because it is modified version.
so please guide me how to get it done.. how do i install the update. Thanks
What do you mean by software number (where are you reading the nubmer)? Best thing to go by, is the OS number listed on the bootloader screen.
Also, an OTA will fail if the phone is rooted, custom ROM, or even unrooted (needs to be a never rooted stock ROM).
If you know how, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Otherwise, did you change the CID or MID (and know what they currently are)?
Bootloader screen is like
Software status official
***locked*** S -off
cid -11111111
OS 4.16.1540.8
The model written at rear bottom of my htc is Op6b130 .
i get update with a number 4.17.1540.9 which does not install.
Thats the real confusion with me .. so please tell me the way how do i install the next updates.

The phone is heavily modified. It has some point been rooted, SuperCID (11111111) and had the US Developers Edition (4.16.1540.8) firmware and/or RUU applied.
Do you know the history of these mods; did you do them, or did someone else mod the phone?
Can't say for certain, unless I know more details. But the easiest way to update to the latest (MM) version may be to flash 6.12.1540.4 firmware, then flash the 6.12.1540.4 RUU.
I did not do anything like that. I got my htc in this form.
so if MM update is better. Can you please tell me the procedure of installing firmware and ruu file as you said. I would be very grateful to you for this.
Would this procedure be right for me?

Yes, that would actually work, and describes what I was talking about. Nice work finding it yourself!
I'm not sure whether you need to change the MID or not. CID is fine to run the 6.12.1540.4 firmware and RUU. And SuperCID will actually bypass the MID in some situations (but not all). Plus, with the info given so far, I can't tell what the current MID is (it may already have been changed).
If you do need to change the MID, you will also need root. So that would be more steps.
So my advice is to first skip the steps of changing CID and MID. Just go to the steps of flashing the 6.12.1540.4 firmware and RUU. If the firmware fails due to wrong MID, it will tell you that via an error message; and we can tackle that issue if it comes up. But if it works on the current MID, then we've saved some steps.
Best (most accurate) way to determine the current MID, is to do command: fastboot getvar all
Then post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
This will also give us a lot more useful info on the device.
You'll need to use fastboot anyway (for the guide you linked), if you don't already know how. So you may as well figure it out now. The command should also work with the htc fastboot given in the thread you linked, but would be: htc_fastboot getvar all

You need to use the htc_fastboot to flash the RUU, as indicated in the guide you linked (and required files downloaded from there as well). The "generic" Android fastboot can't handle files that big.
Although, you should drop the ".exe" (indicated in the guide) from all the fastboot commands. I've never seen ".exe" included on fastboot and adb commands, and it will probably cause you an error like it did when flashing firmware. So the command should be:
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip rom.zip

Yes, that is fine. Which is why I told you to do it. If anything else needed to be done, I would have indicated that.
RUU doesn't need to be installed in sequence, meaning you can skip a version(s). RUU is different from OTA, as OTA typically does need to be installed in sequence.
With s-off, you can even go backwards with RUU. Which is also something you can't do with OTA.
while flashing firmware , it first said 'failed' and then automatically came with 'finished and time' .
When i went to ruu .. i first used htc_command .. but it said that ' this command is not in internal and external blaa blaa'. So i went without htc_ and got stuck and waited about half hour for that. Then , knowing nothing i did factory reset with wipe cache to restore my phone back to 4.16.1540.8.
Are there any pre-requisites that phone shold be unlocked and rooted (as i saw some videos on youtube)?
My phone is s-off, bootloader locked and no root access.

If it gave a message about "flush image immediately" this just means you need to flash the firmware again (needing to flash 2 times is normal and expected).
If the firmware installed correctly, you will see OS 6.12.1540.4 on the bootloader screen, and also see 6.12.1540.4 for "version-main" if you do fastboot getvar all.
You must have 6.12.1540.4 firmware properly installed, in order to flash the RUU.

You are getting that message, since you are not executing the command from the folder where htc_fastboot.exe is located. After you download htc_fastboot from the thread you linked, open Command Prompt in the folder (Left Shift + Right Mouse Click) and run the commands.
Leaving off the "htc" means you are trying to use the "generic" fastboot tool (fastboot.exe). Which would also confirm the fact you are probably running the command from the wrong folder. Again, using the regular fastboot will never work, since it can't handle the file size of the RUU.

Are there any pre-requisites that phone shold be unlocked and rooted (as i saw some videos on youtube)?

You mean prerequisites for the RUU? If so, saying bootloader unlocked and rooted are prerequisites is false and incorrect. If you saw it on a YouTube, you are confusing RUU with something else.
Bootloader locked is normally (s-on) a requirement for RUU. But since you are s-off, it will run with the bootloader unlocked, locked or relocked.
Root has no effect on RUU. RUU will run, whether the phone is rooted or not.

What exactly are you trying to "restore" or accomplish with this? It's not clear you have even installed anything past 4.16.1540.8, to begin with.
Finally did it successfully!
Thank you everyone for guiding me.

What do you mean by software number (where are you reading the nubmer)? Best thing to go by, is the OS number listed on the bootloader screen.
Also, an OTA will fail if the phone is rooted, custom ROM, or even unrooted (needs to be a never rooted stock ROM).
If you know how, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Otherwise, did you change the CID or MID (and know what they currently are)?

Basically, Sprint (and most US carrier versions of the M8) won't update if not connected to that actual US carrier (Sprint, in your case). Also, you can NOT "modify" the Sprint version to make it another version (such as Euro), and the reason for that is that the Sprint version you will radio brick the device doing this! So don't try it!
You can update using the RUU meant for the Sprint M8 (and only the RUU meant for the Sprint M8, for the reason mentioned above). Whether you need to update or not (by RUU) depends on what it says in the getvar info I asked for above.
