My phone is S-OFF and it is SuperCID(11111111), I found out that I won't receive updates if my phone has this CID. I want to change it to a\n unbranded CID where I can receive the JB OTA. I don't know how, though. Also, what CID do you think will receive the earliest JB OTA once it comes out? And if I am going to change my CID to an unbranded one, can I revert it back to SuperCID once I receive the update?

just run a RUU and that will make you s-on and with the RUU's CID...
That doesn't sound useful, why would you want to lose S-Off?
HTC_001 is probably the most likely to be first, but I'm not sure if the OTA will work. Do you have stock 2.17.401.2 and stock recovery?

yep i agree, i wouldn't ever ever ever flash a RUU only to get official updates! we will get the official update before it will be released worldwide
I am currently on stock 2.17.401.2 after flashing the RUU a month ago. Before that, I was on 1.15.401.1(!). Stock recovery? I don't know what that means, sorry. Anyway, I don't want to lose my S-OFF just so I can receive updates. I know s-off phones can change CID by fastboot blah blah. Something about writing a command, ugh, I'm not really sure.
You wouldn't even need to flash the RUU...
If you're S-Off, you could just use fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 if you really wanted too, which would change your CID to HTC__001 and keep you S-Off, but i'd say staying SuperCID is the best idea, and just flash one of the many JB roms that are out there.

I get that. But I am still in the process of learning things since this is my first Android phone. Things are still complicated specially because the tuts on inbstalling custom ROMs are all about S-ON HOXs. Anyway, if I change my CID to a normal unbranded one, can I revert it back to SuperCID?
Yes you could.
You'd just do fastboot oem writecid 11111111.
To get updates though, you'd need to have a locked bootloader, stock rom etc... You phone would basically become a Unbranded European One X. Not sure if flashing the update would put you S-On, which means you'd be stuck as a HTC__001.
Basically if you wanted to try Jellybean, you'd just have to flash the required firmware, followed by a custom recovery then flash the rom. You don't need to unlock bootloader because you're S-Off.

... and as an added bonus you don't need to flash the boot.img of a custom rom before flashing the Rom itself, as we s-on peeps need to. You can just flash the entire custom rom at once from the custom recovery.
I.E. you won't need a computer when you want to try another rom

That's my problem! There should be a thread about S-OFF phones and what to do with them. Haha.

Well to be fair, it's very rare to find an S-Off One X at the moment, so count yourself very very lucky!
You hold one big big big advantage over us all though, you can downgrade your HBOOT back to 1.12 if you didn't like Jellybean. Currently for the most of us, with compatible CID's, once we're on HBOOT 1.28, thats it, there is no way back which means things like CM10 etc doesn't work for us.
Actually, you can use CM10 with hboot 1.28, but you have to use the special boot.img posted in the CM10 thread. It works for hboot 1.23 and hboot 1.28.

Hey there!
I installed the GPE RUU last week and i just noticed that graffixnyc said that my CID must be the same of GPE CID or the OTA updates will fail.
My question is do i have to make my CID like GPE CID even if its a SuperCID? or SuperCID is enough to get an OTA update without failing?
GOOGL1 or whatever it is or you won't get ota's. It is easy to change in fast boot mode and easy to check and change back. Provided you are s-off of course.

Thx bro! So I have to change it to GOOGL1 right?
GOOGL001 is the correct CID, for the OTA updates to work.
Guys,
Need help and answers on the following. Just to let you know I am on S-OFF
1) Can I change my CID to SuperCID?
2) How to change to SuperCID?
3) Can I flash a RUU of EU (A5_UL) on my HTC 816 A5_UL(Asia HK)?
4) How can I revert back if needed? Do I need to flash a relevant RUU (RUU relevant to Asia HK) if I revert back to stock CID?
5) Does changing to SuperCID make any affect to usage of the phone? (like SMS, Calls, Internet etc.)
Thanks in advance....

I forgot the exact method I used, but I just googled a method for the m7 and got the exactly system directories from the "commands for s-off users" thread. Basically you just change your cid to (8?) Ones, and just copy your current cid into a text file or something in case you need it again. I have a5_chl and I haven't seen any changes since I applied super cid, so no problems there. As for the ruu issue, I'm not exactly sure, some people say you'll be OK, others say it will brick your phone due to different partition sizes. Anyways good luck![emoji1]
So my eye is unlocked s-off but still cid is HTC__032 how do i obtain supercid on this device i have done various searches but not much in the way of results any help would be appreciated i am trying to flash newest firmware and custom rom but cant till i get supercid. TY

OK if I change my present cid vodap001 to an international one will I get the update without waiting for vodaphone to roll it out as my handset is unlocked and on Giff gaff but it appears that I still have to wait to get updates from Vodafone and will I have to install all Vodafone's bloatware if I get Voda's update and if I can change my cid to achieve this does anyone know what cid I should change it to thanks in advance
SuperCID (11111111) (S-Off NEEDED!) first,then flash international RUU when done change CID HTC__001
back your phone up RUU will wipe clean
