[Q] Can we get SuperCID with this? - HTC One X

Hey Guys!
I noticed an article on a android news site
It stated that the HTC Droid Incredible 4G got bootloader unlocked.
They used a method to get SUPERCID
Which means that the devices CID gets overwritten by all 1's.
This basically tricks the HTCDev website into unlocking it..
Which is great but not very usefull for us here..
But!
I want to know, can this method be used to overwrite CIDs in phones which cannot update to the latest JB RUU?
If this is possible everyone could use the JB RUU and ofcourse this will help developers..
As I already stated: I am not sure, and I do not advise anyone to try this unles syou know what you are doing.
Thr original thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986346

No, no and no

you need S-OFF to get superCID

I'm sorry, misused a term here..
Its not a superCID but a fakeCID method they use..
But I must say, they do not have S-OFF and still can change the CID of the device..
So excuse me for asking but, if they can change the CID with only temproot,
Than we should also be able to do that..
And trick the JB RUU in thinking every device can use it..
So can someone explain me why this is not possible?
btw, I have a HTC__001 CID, so... Do'nt need it, but others may!

So... Over at the One S forum they are using this method now and it works!
I want to try it on the One X, But I really need to know which partition I need to edit..
- Nevermidn this ¬¬ I know already
And for the ones that want o know why:
Nvidia is actually messing it all up!
The rest are all qualcom bootloaders.. but this is different because of the tegra 3!
Thats why it does work on the ATT XL, the One S and other qualcomm phones..

Without giving a reason or anything, and that annoys me pretty much..

[Q] Still s-on after htc dev????

Hello, I just used the htcdev site but my bootlaoder still shows s-on but a new nlocked line on the top, how do i make it s-off??please help me!!!!
We discovered that once you put your phone in the glass full of water, it will S-OFF itself.
Good one!
In meantime: take a paper and write s-off. Dry your phone and put the paper on it.
TADA: s-off phone!

Calm down mate
Just joking
You can install custom roms etc with s-on when phone is unlocked via HTC.
Start reading al the threads before asking those questions, PM if you have specific questions.
There's a one click tool for root and custom recovery. Then you can install custom roms with OC kernel, like mine.
And now, calm down and hit thanks

I'm definitely smarter than you.
When I don't know something, I search for it, if I don't find it, I ask.
But I ask in the place where I'm supposed to ask, I do not open new thread for every stupid thing I want to know.
If you take a look at this section, first 3 pages has like 100000 threads about your question.
It was answered X times, but yet again, you come here and just open new thread for it.
Right, why would you loose precious 10 seconds to search/take a look at this section, when you can just open new thread.
an XTC clip is the only game in town for a full s-off.
the htcdev unlock only does the bootloader, so you can root it and flash an alternative ROM, but no sim unlock or such.

Don't be offended by the other guys.
What happens is that your phone will remain S-ON, but you still have the ability to root and flash custom ROMS and all that. The reason being is that HTC wants you to have an unlocked bootloader, but they leave the S-ON so that the Radio and SIM Lock are protected. Don't let this put you down. If you really want S-OFF then now you have a Unlocked phone, so it should be easier.

Method to obtain S-OFF?

According to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632200 by 7pellc he was able to get his device into an unlocked state.
While flashing a RUU the process crashed at "WRITING USER DATA".
He then rebooted the phone and found the rom to be unusable, so he rebooted to HBOOT only to find it being stuck in RUU mode.
HBOOT still reported device to be LOCKED, and for some reason he rebooted to recovery, and then back into HBOOT finding the device in an unlocked state.
Instead of LOCKED/RELOCKED/UNLOCKED HBOOT reported only ******
He then fastboot flashed a boot.img which it accepted even though this device was never unlocked through HTCDev.
It seems to me that the exact procedure temporarily left the device in some form of unlocked state, and maybe the eMMC was actually unlocked.
If this was the case it should have been possible to perform fastboot commands to acheive SuperCID or even S-OFF:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 0
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
I am not sure anyone ever recreated his steps, and the important step is to reach the state where HBOOT reports only ****** instead of LOCKED states.
I would love to try this out myself, but I sold my HOX when SGS3 came out as it was a true unlocked device.
Some of my friends still has this phone, and they come to me when something is wrong with it, and if I can persuade them to try this on their phones I would like to try it ofcourse.
I am really sorry if anyone actually recreated the exact steps, but I have read all the threads about S-OFF, and couldn't find someone who performed the opreation, but if I'm mistaken I'm sorry, and this thread can be closed.

But he's speaking the truth.. S-OFF isn't possible, and if you did some research you would know that Please refrain from asking questions before doing your research.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
Actually if the emmc was unlocked as the op describes then it would be possible but I'm very sceptical that it actually was.
During the ruu sequence the emmc is indeed unlocked however upon rebooting it gets locked again
This is the same principal that the soff for xl uses however they strictly say you mustn't power off your device because it relocks the security.
I have spent some time looking at this exploit.
It is technically possible to have the emmc unlocked and accept fastboot commands by flashing an updated firmware. (Note it has to be an update and not the same as you already have)
Once first flash of the firmware you get an error and then have to flash again straight away but if you don't flash again you can run other commands with the emmc unlocked.
This is where this method hits a dead end.
In order to progress further we need to be in android which would normally be done with
Fastboot boot boot.IMG or fastboot oem boot however since early hboot versions. I think 1.12. this ability was removed and the command just either errors or crashes the device

I know that the S-OFF progress by xmoo and others has stopped/is on-hold, but saying that S-OFF is impossible is a bad attitude to solving a problem.

Actually I came up with this idea after reading the threads about the new S-OFF method for XL.
I don't think the eMMC is actually unlocked in the RUU process, the key to achieveing this lies in the sequence of boot back and fourth from RUU mode to the stock recovery and then back to HBOOT.
If the theory is worth anything something happens in the process making HBOOT not recognize the secureflag thus reporting only *****
Ofcourse this is all theory, but who knows
As mentioned in my first post, I cannot test this out myself, and I would never have brought this up if I was able to test it and found it not to be working!
Just telling the truth ..... Sorry for letting you know a fact at the moment.
And you could be a bit nicer you know. I was not rude, bad mouthed or aggressive towards you in any way.....so i expect it the same the other way around !

[q] debranding

Hello. I have an HTC ONE M8 CID : ORANG001. Bootloader LOCKED and S-ON. Running : Android 4.4.3
It is carrier unlocked, I can use whatever sim I like with this phone. Now, I want to get rid off ORANG001 and change it with a HTC__001 or some other CID so I can receive updates directly from HTC.
Does anyone know some safe steps to accomplish this ? Or I can change somehow the recovery with another one ? I think ORANG001 means that is orange stock recovery. It's not carrier locked, but still, I want to replace the ORANG001.

UPDATE : Rooted the device and installed SuperSU via TWRP. Next, getting S-OFF.
UPDATE : I get this message while flashing firewater : firewater can not work on your device.
Until I manage to S-OFF can I flash through TWRP a custom ROM like CM for example ? Or S-OFF is a must for doing this ?

Are you sure you need s-off?
From your posts, I can plainly tell you are a noob. (no offence, that just what we call the new to rooting people here.)
S-on is there to protect your device from becoming bricked when you flash something you shouldn't be.
With S-off, if you screw up, your $700 phone might be turned into a paperweight with absolutely zero chance that the warranty is still valid.
If you want my advice, don't go S-off till you know what you are doing.

The thing is, on the Q&A, I get sick of the same questions over and over and over.
And also, people getting into soft brick trouble because of s-off.
I have no worries about you though buddy.
You will be just fine. It's not really that hard. Just different than the rest.
It's worth it though. The M8 is SOOO nice!

How to get s-off without sunshine

Hi guys. My m8 was s'onned on 4.4.4 and I'd lost my wifi. So I read somewhere you needed to downgrade and flash the OTA manually and for that I needed s'off. Now I really wouldn't mind paying the devs of sunshine 25$ for s'offing because let's face it, they're awesome and they probably have to charge much more for all the work they put in. But unfortunately for me, I'm a kid in my 12th grade and my dad isn't gonna buy me anything but guides for my studies LOL.
I couldn't use firewater because it said htc patched my device and I was out of luck.
So, on a hunch what I did was I flashed cm 11 and then I tried firewater and surprise!! it worked!! my device was s-off'ed
anyway after that I had to go back to the 4.4.3 stock and then upgrade using OTA and everything was alright.
So what I'm basically saying is if you're a cheap bastard like me and can't pay for sunshine and you love sense, you should try that method above. I can't guarantee it'll work for you but it's worth the try, eh?
Note: Please use the above method only if you cannot pay for sunshine. Plus sunshine is much easier to use and you don't have to go through all this hassle
Note 2: If this topic has already been covered by someone else, please feel free to point out so and close this thread.

[Q] I think I'm in so much trouble.... Need help please!

Hey guys,
I dropped my HTC One M8 today, and now it has a crack in the screen.
Well, I wanted to go back to the store to get it replaced under warranty, but I needed to unroot & go back to stock first.
So at home I tried to go back to stock and stuff, but it just didn't work. That is where **** hit the fan.
Right now, I can't boot into Android, can't boot intro recovery. Everytime I start my phone it boots into FASTBOOT USB, and I have the following screen: *see attachment*
I really don't know what to do, I've been searching for serveral hours and my guess is I hard-bricked it...
Please, please tell me there is a way to make it boot into android again...?

Hey guys,
I dropped my HTC One M8 today, and now it has a crack in the screen.
Well, I wanted to go back to the store to get it replaced under warranty, but I needed to unroot & go back to stock first.
So at home I tried to go back to stock and stuff, but it just didn't work. That is where **** hit the fan.

Did you try to run a ruu? See if you can find a ruu for your device model and carrier you can run ruu.exe from a windows computer in fast boot USB mode

I've tried to find the correct RUU, but everytime I get an error along these lines: 'Could not verify signature'
Where could I find a correct RUU?

Do you still have TWRP installed? Boot into recovery from your bootloader, and restore a backup. (You should have made one before you tried returning to stock)

I can't boot into recovery, it goes back to FASTBOOT / HBOOT every time.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 If you are talking about this thread, yes I checked it.
I downloaded several RUU's and they all say : 'MODEL-ID error, please download the correct RUU for your device'
I am going to try to change the CID to SuperCid but don't think it will work since I can't change my S-ON to S-OFF

Yea being s-on I don't think you can what is your cid and what carrier do you have maybe someone can modify one of the ruus to work with your cid cause it seems the ruu is checking your cid and it doesn't match for the ruu so it isn't working. Have you tried reflashing twrp and seeing if you can enter recovery again then maybe restore one of the backups from the backups thread. I don't know how much help I can actually be cause I'm just a flasher hopefully someone with more experience and knowledge can jump in and help you I'm just suggesting what I would do in your situation. I hope you get your phone booted again though
Omg i did it
I just started the whole process again of unlocking my bootloader and stuff, using the AOI Toolkit, and I am in the PhiliZ Touch CLockworkmod now ! Thank you all for helping me, I will carefully unroot now and bring my phone back

Glad to hear I didn't think it was hard bricked but I know it's a real frustrating feeling when you can't boot into anything
Something f**king similar here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/help-t3123025
help needed please!!
Cool. Glad you got it working again.

First of all, he can't boot into system.
Second of all, everything you've mentioned needs S-Off. He is S-On.
Third of all, HTC US is different than other regions. Most of the other RUUs that have been made available are not found on HTC's websites. Most are leaked versions, I believe.
And no. It isn't in any RUU threads on XDA.

First of he got it fixed and booted again if you actually read the thread second of all why are you even quoting me coming at me like that with this bs as I replied in one of my posts I might be the best to help him but I was offering suggestions as no one else was helping him. Do me a favor and don't quote me no more bs like that when all I'm trying to do is help. Thank you for your unnecessary two cents

I edited it as soon as I posted it and read ahead. I agree I should have read ahead first, but as far as nobody helping.....
Incorrect.
I started by helping him in another thread. I would have continued helping him here, but I had to go out to do real life stuff.
Anyway, the suggestions you gave wouldn't have worked.

That's fine my suggestions wouldn't have worked but as I said I was just trying to offer help my suggestions wouldn't have harmed him any further either but posts like the one you quoted me on makes me not want to help or offer suggestions to no one else. I've posted some useful stuff on xda though. I'm not the most technology savvy person but sometimes I do have some useful information. Like I told him I might not be the best person to help. But there's no reason to attack me for trying to help
Hey guys, thank both for the help....
But pls keep calm and "you just know what's the best for you"

Oh. By no means did I mean to make you feel attacked.
I'm sorry if I came across that way. I was telling you that the suggestions wouldn't work and explaining why. No offense was intended whatsoever.

It's cool I'm already over it. I know there are alot more people on here smarter then me about this phone stuff. All I really know how to do is read search and flash. This is the first phone I've unlocked and rooted and stuff like that so all this is new to me anyway. So no problem man.

Chances are, I'm no smarter than you are. Read and search and learn. That's what we all do here.
And sharing knowledge is what this site is based on. Please continue to try to help others.
Just don't be offended if someone corrects you. I do agree that I could have done it in a more tactful manner though. I can see how my post might have come across as abrasive, but that was not intended.
