Hi folks,
Just a quick question that I'm not able to post into the Development threads given my number of previous posts.
My phone phone is a contract one purchased via my carrier, 3, in the UK. Using CID Getter from the Play store, I've identified my phone's CID as being "11111111"; does this mean I can install any hboot at all and be able to upgrade to JB? From what I've found elsewhere online, this seems to indicate that my phone can support any of them but I'm unsure. Would installing an hboot from another carrier mean that I'd have to manually input my own carrier's settings?
Thanks for any help,

Correct. With that CID you can flash the Taiwanese firmware and OTA. You may need to enter your carrier's APN settings afterwards to best write them down before you do it.

I also have that cid. Do you know where I can find a link to the Taiwanese jellybean update?
To the OP - you won't have CID 11111111, it'll be a 3-branded phone. run the fastboot command
fastboot getvar cid
and post it here, we'll go from there
fastboot oem readcid
Is more reliable.

I downloaded an app called Goldcard Helper and I'd detects and generated a reversible hex Buber for the One-X virtual sdcard my question is would it work to take the next step and flash the resultant Goldcard img?

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.

How did you know it was branded ? When it booted did have a tmobile logo ? Did you get the phone from T-Mobile or CPW ?

It had a T-Mob splash screen. And before you ask it's S-On.

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

Rubbish As expected that didn't work for me
I wonder why yours worked...
Could you have a look ( or post ) the ruu logs from the folder in the root of c ( on your computer ) as mine show in the install failing due to cid not matchinf

I used CID getter on my T-Mobile and it told me that the CID was T-MOB005. Even though it was seemingly not there looking normally.

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

I think it's because the bootloader is unlocked.
Cid getter reports mine as o2__01

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.

No, my bootloader is still locked and i also can't get cid from FASTBOOT but CID Getter gives me HTC_001
My device is a European unlocked version purchased from Expansys.

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?
I am s-off and this is my getvar: http://pastebin.com/x4YZ3G34

I currently have some type of developer edition firmware that doesnt let me update because it knows I have the wrong phone.
I have changed my CID to H3G_001 as this is what it should be as I am with Three (H3g) in the UK.
I understand an RUU would be best but there are none for my carrier.
What would you do in my situation?
PLease help - I just want my normal phone bac with software that can install updates
Try changing CID to 1111111 through fastboot (cmd - fastboot OEM writeCID 1111111) then fastboot flash a GPE RUU (you can find em through graffixnyc.com).

Your paste.bin doesn't show that you changed the CID back to H3G__001
After you change the CID back to H3G__001, you can restore H3G__001 stock ROM backup and its matching stock recovery then do update.
You need to restore 4.20.771.2 backup.
You can read post #1 on how-to, files available on post #3 and #4

Any further question, you can ask in that thread to get my faster respond.

The developer edition is a normal version - just minus the carrier additions. I would suggest altering your CID/MID to match the developer edition. You already know how to change the CID, so set that to BS_US002. Then change MID using this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581.
At this point, you should be able to get OTA updates if you haven't modified the OS. If you have, re-run the developer edition RUU from HTC.
When you are done, you will have a bog-standard "normal" phone in every way - and you will get your updates a heck of a lot faster than you will with any carrier.
hi friends i have bought a Htc one m8 from ebay.in and i tried to update the phone but there was no software update option in the settings through google i learnt that i have to flash stock recovery through adb but the problem begins now that i cant determine my phones model as it indicates HTC M8w (HTCOneM8vzw) and in Software it says "Sprint_M8_X.rom_2.0.5" so please help me to determine my phones model weather it is Sprint or Verizon or M8w and please help me to find wheather there is any easy way to update my phones software
thanks in advance
Please get to fastboot and run a getvar all to get all details. This one probably have a custom recovery in place as well.
The software version listed in Settings means nothing. It looks like the name of a custom ROM that the previous owner flashed.
I agree with the last response, that we need getvar data to be sure how to proceed. Do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).
Also, this thread belong in the Q&A, Support forum section. So I've asked the mods to move it.
it was previously on super cid 11111111 but once i accidentally changed to VZW__001 plz tell what should i do to change it also as iam a newbie to these things

Its Sprint, Harmon Kardon (HK) Edition. The product name m8_whl means its Sprint. The main version number "654" means its the HK Edition.
You can go back to SuperCID with the command: fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Or you can go back to the Sprint CID. Searching around, the CID for HK Edition is: SPCS_004
Then update using the RUU and instruction near the bottom of the following: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/
Be aware, the RUU will wipe the phone. So backup anything you want to keep accordingly.
i need to ask a question that if i update using RUU wold my phone will be get locked as i dont know wheather its factory unlocked or not is there any way-out to check the same

Your phone will still be SIM-unlocked after RUU. Doesn't matter if it was factory unlocked or otherwise.

You can stay supercid and just run the unlocked developers RUU for a full stock conversion... He will still be able to receive OTA updates.. Post the results from "fastboot getvar all" but remove imei and serial... If your phone is gsm, download and run this file from a PC.. Takes about ten minutes to install and ten minutes to reboot... http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/ but I'd post the fastboot output to confirm before running the RUU.exe file

The phone came in 32 and 64gb on GSM, CDMA, etc.. He's S-off so unlocking the bootloader should be as simple as "fastboot oem unlock".. Still "fastboot getvar all" output is needed so we can see model number, partition size, firmware, etc

Is it possible to add a CID in a RUU.zip?
I have a bricked phone without oem rebootRUU working, so I was trying to flash a zip RUU. I tried to replace a random one but it gives me error
I have 11111111 which should be universal, but I think it doesn't work anymore like previous phones, so I wanted to add it since I can't change my CID
Thank you for your help.

Does your MID match the RUU? I had some difficulty flashing an RUU despite having SuperCID because the MID didn't match.
