Sim Unlocked -Can CID be changed - HTC One X

I was prevoiusly using unbranded DHD and boy was life easier with root, s-off etc
Now on One-X im on branded T-mob, I have obtainded the sim unlock code so am now partly free but still t-mob005 cid.
My question is can the cid be modified now im sim unlocked or am i stuck on ICS until t-mob release JB?

No, CID can't be changed without S-Off, and we don't have S-Off.
SIM Unlock and S-Off are completely separate.

I know sim unlock and s off are different, just thought there may of been a hack to modify cid.
Cheers anyway

[Q] Keeping HTC DEsire HD unlocked

I had a previous thread before but it seems to be deleted... sorry?
ive followed threads http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Ah i ok i just thought because i have S-OFF, i would be able to install the stock rom it anyway, so ive done that and installed the stock PD98IMG 1.32.405.6
Is there anything else i need to do to prevent the phone from locking again? also ive read about this clockworkmod recovery and rom manager.... is that needed to keep my unlock or anything? thanks again guys.
You do not need to do anything anymore, your phone will remain unlocked until you lock it again using Radio S-OFF tool.

Also i have set my "CID" to stock HTC__001, but im not sure what this is meant to do as it seems to have made no difference?
... and your saying that for my phone to become locked again, i would have to change it to s-off, then click "sim unlock" again?
The radio S-OFF tool does not change your software CID, it changes the bootloader CID. So there it makes huge difference. You can try it, you no longer need a goldcard
For your phone to become locked, yes, you have to select S-ON and put your branded CID to your phone (if your phone is branded, that is). The SimUnlock cannot be undone, and it does not matter, because anybody can unlock their phones when they just pay for the code. The difference is that radio tool is free.
thanks for the reply mate..
i just have one question "For your phone to become locked, yes, you have to select S-ON and put your branded CID to your phone"... i have put S-On back, as i was worried i would make changes by accident to the nand so i put it back to s-On just incase, and my phone isnt locked its still unlocked?
... also im not following you with the CID idea, the phone was/is branded to Orange UK, so i set the CID to stock HTC__001, but this has made no differerence and still seems to be branded...?
and when you say it changes the boot loader CID, do you mean the white recovery screen etc? and when you said it makes a huge difference, what do you mean by that?
You say that your phone is still unlocked after S-ON, what do you mean by that? You cannot install a custom rom, so it is not unlocked. Root is possible with S-ON, but try modifying something in /system/..
And what do you mean about phone still being branded after HTC__001? The CID is just a permission to install different ROMs from different sources, for example HTC__001 allows you to flash any WWE ROM. You probably had ORANG001, with that it was not possible to flash HTC WWE ROM.
by unlocked i mean, can accept any simcard from any network, for example i am using an o2 simcard in it. it is S-ON, im just wanting to make sure i dont lose my unlock.
also what does WWE mean. sorry for the noobness guys.

Converting AT&T M8 to T-Mobile M8

Hi All!
Just returning to the world of flashing after being with Verizon for so long. I have recently switched to T-Mobile, and have been using my unlocked AT&T. Other than S-Off and an unlocked bootloader I haven't looked too much into flashing yet.
I have been reading the forums and it seems as though the GSM version of the HTC M8 are relatively interchangeable. This got me thinking, I am able to make the necessary changes to CID & MID to match the T-Mobile version, and then convert using a T-Mobile RUU?
Thanks!

Thank you! Just wanted to confirm - that is the exact thread I reviewed.
Just do supercid and use tmo ruu.
Wait... so I just need to switch the CID to the "supercid" and I don't worry about the MID and just flash the Tmo RUU?
(it's been a LONG time since I've been on a HTC device...)

[Q] Selling phone with Super CID so it's not carrier locked

Hello
I'm selling my HTC One M8. Currently the bootloader is unlocked, rooted, s-off and using super CID. The guy that wants to buy it is using a different carrier and my phone is locked to my carrier. Will the super CID unlock it for any carrier, and still function after bootloader is locked, unrooted and s-on?
Thanks!

Sim unlock - can I just change CID?

Hi all,
Sorry if this is a really obviously question that's been asked a million times before, but is using on any network as simple as changing the CID if I'm S-OFF? Is HTC__001 OK to use?
Thanks
No
If the phone is SIM-locked you'll need an unlock code to use a different SIM

[Q] Converting Unlocked M9 to other RUU

I have the carrier unlocked m9 straight from HTC. I was wondering if you could flash something like the dev edition RUU or say the T-Mobile RUU on it with out any failure? If so what would be the pros and cons of each one? I have been led to understand that the only difference between the Dev and the Unlocked is that the bootloader is unlocked which is no big deal bc I'm unlocked and s-off.
The only reason I would be interested in flashing the T-mobile RUU is for the wifi calling and texting capabilities.
(I am aware that you can change both the CID and the MID through fastboot.)
