help-which region is cid j_15?

i want to know which which region is cid j_15?
which ruu should i download?
is it middle east or Europe

If you mean HTC__J15, this is the Middle-East unbranded CID.
According to this page, you have to flash this RUU:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_ARA_1.28.415.9_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_25679_signed.exe
You'll easily find a download link on Google.

Yes but if he's on software 2.17 (ics 4.04) then this ruu is not going to work !
Do fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
It will give the software number that has to match the ruu number !

thats all the data of the phone i that there is a custom rom installed
but how the cid is j-15 and the rom is 3.14.401 which is the Europe rom
any help?

I also have the htc__j15 .. not rooted and want to update it. How ?

HTC__J15 is for MEA (Middle-East and Africa)
If you want to update to JB sense, you will have to manually flash hboot 1.31 which is a test version (causes sensor problem in some phones)
you will have to void your warranty to install the software from a custom recovery.
My suggestion is wait a couple more weeks before getting the official update.

Any j15 got his update ? It has been a while.... :crying:

Relock the bootloader and keep the phone in the relocked bootloader and then run this ruu with admin rights

After the ruu you update with the official ota's from within the phone (update menu)

Thank you I will try it now
But how do i re-lock the bootloader when it says it is locked?

Full locked ? As in never unlocked,rooted, flashed ???
Then just run the ruu

yes, never unlocked or flashed any custom rom
When i tried flashing the ruu u provided i get error 131

You selected the ruu by clicking on it via the right mouse button and selecting :
Run as administrator ?
And what does this return ?
Fastboot oem readcid
Post the whole outcome please

Right click run as administrator
The program just started
Fastboot oem readcid

HTC__102 should be software like
*.**.401.* not 415
Check your bootloader, what does it say ?
A : LOCKED
B : RELOCKED
C : UNLOCKED
D : non of the above

Something fishy going on ! The 415 ruu didn't work i assume. You could try the 2.17.401 ruu !
You tried the 3.14 ruu and that failed because of the low hboot you have now. It can't jump from that low to that high one.

Back again
Unfortunately the 2.17.401 ruu did not work as well.
Here is what I'm going to do and would like your guidance..
1- flash firmware package for JB htc__102 from here
2- unlock bootoader from htc dev
3- flash custom recovery
4- flash stock jelly bean rom (odexed) and boot.img provided by mike1986.from here
5- flash stock recovery back again and relock bootloader to be able to receive ota updates
Will this work?

You can try. If the firmware is wrong it won't be flashed anyway. But yeah it is an option to try. But i think it will fail because the 2.17 ruu should have updated the hboot too. A ruu or ota file contains the firmware package that you will try to flash seperatly with command.
Give it a shot. But the info your phone is giving by the cid and main commands are not in line with what they should be !

[Q] Can't figure out this firmware mess

I'm looking to flash the firmware update that Mike1986 has up in his thread. I bought my M8 from T-mobile and I am s-off and bootloader unlocked.
My question, do i need to mess with changing my cid or mid in order to flash the firmware.zip? I've been reading threads all day and can't find a clear answer and don't want to risk a brick.
I would really appreciate any help.Thanks!

No. Just don't flash a cdma firmware. You only need to change cid/mid to receive ota though just S-off and supercid should allow you to get ota from any carrier/international base.

Awesome, Thanks. He warns in the first couple of lines that cids must match in order to flash it but i can't find a reference to what cid the firmware download pertains to other than it being of .401.x ruu variant (whatever that means).

.401 relates to cid HTC__001 and other european versions.
Your cid and mid must match one of those listed in the android-info.txt file in the firmware zip.
If it doesn't match one of those then you can edit that text file to include your cid and change the mid to that of your mid.
Alternatively you can change your cid to supercid of 11111111 (8x1) and then flash away.
Part 2 of this guide explain how to set your cid to supercid and will also explain how to find your info using getvar.

Yes you absolutely need to see what cid the firmware is for. I would make your cid super "11111111" to be safe. Check mid too. Being soff will allow you to flash anything and if it doesn't match, you can hard brick. If your not soff, and try to flash incorrect cid, it will just fail.

I just did this today.
I got super CID, which is easy.
Downloaded the firmware.zip, opened it with winwar and deleted recovery.img and edited the android-info and changed the MID to the one for Tmobile. (Adds like a 13 after the b or something)

SuperCID question

I'm S-off but I never thought at the time to set superCID to 11111111, now I believe I have to have SuperCID set to this in order to flash firmware update, my question is how do I go about doing this without having to do firewater S-off again?

You don't have to redo S-Off again.
As long as your device is S-Off, simply reboot to bootloader/fastboot mode
then run command
fastboot oem writecid 11111111

Good stuff cheers mate

how does the superCID thing help?

Maybe it's that the CID in the firmware.zip doesn't need to match the phone?

...flashing firmware that is designed for a phone from a different region or carrier.

I have the unbranded M8, with the CID: BS_US001. Do I need SuperCID if I only want to flash custom ROMs? I'm just wondering if it's better to have it and not need it? I'm s-off and rooted, btw.

To run custom roms you do not need supercid.

super CID normally only helps if your trying to flash firmware meant for a different region / type.
i use a tmobile m8 so my CID is TMOB010 if i remember right lols....
if i feel like flashing my firmware to GPE so that i can fully convert the phone to GPE phone they i need superCID.
thats the best example.

I went ahead and changed it. I figured what the hell.

Thanks

You don't need stock recovery to run an RUU.
But you do need to change the device's CID and MID to match the RUU.

As I already stated, if you want to run the Euro RUU, you need to change your MID and your CID to the Euro CID, MID.
If either (or both) CID or MID do not match what the RUU is looking/intended for, the RUU will fail.
