[Q] Change CID from 1111111 back to HTC_044

Hey team
I think I may have the opposite issue to most people here, I have just received my phone back from getting repaired (By the Parallel Import company here in New Zealand) and it has been returned to me with S-Off and CID: 1111111.
I would prefer to have a stock phone in order to get OTA updates (I know, the opposite of what most uses of XDA want and am happy to trade phone for a stock hand set)
I was given this TUT to restore my hand set back to HTC_044 (or maybe even VODAP022 the New Zealand Vodafone CID) but am receiving the error "waiting on device", I have tried unplugging and replugging it back in a number of times and have booted in fast boot to check it does change to "fast-boot usb" but am still getting "waiting for device".
I was wondering if anyone could tell me is the below method correct or is there a better way to get my phone back to a stock "off the shelf" device?
Thanks in Advance (easy on the Troll rage if possible)
Cheers
Firstly, you need to install ADB tools,
DOWNLOAD FOR OTHER PLATFORMS -> SDK Tools Only -> Windows
Download the one of package and install ADB SDK Tools.
If you don’t have JAVA SE Development Kit, you also need to install it in order to install ADB Tools. Please note that, you have to install JAVA SE Development Kit not just JAVA SE with 32bit (x86).
You will have instruction while you install ADB Tools any way.
Once you install ADB tools, open my computer -> c:\ -> Program Files(x86) -> Android
Right click on SDK manager and run SDK Manager.exe with Administration access.
Click Android SDK Platform-tools and press Install packages.
If the install is finished, you can see the new folder called platform-tools on Android folder.
Press SHIFT Key + right click on Platform-tools folder and click something say “Command”. Hot key is (W)
If you done correctly, commend window will open.
Please connect the phone with debugging mode (From the phone, go to setting -> Development -> select USB Debugging).
Now, type the following commend on the commend window.
fastboot oem writecid HTC_044
If you have done correctly, your super CID is now HTC_044,
044 is the Asian CID so you can update the phone with the latest of Asian firmware.
You can also choose HTC_001 or any other number. These numbers are represent all regions.

Worked like a charm!!
Just run Check CID from the market and it has come up with HTC_044
Have also just run the "check for updates" but still not getting 4.0.4 or Jelly bean but that may be a separate issue. Now that I am back to Stock.
<--- "thank" Clicked!
Cheers, your a phone saver!!

I know my original issue is now resolved but I was informed once the CID was returned to normal the phone would be "stock" again but I am still not receiving OTA updates.
Is there more to resetting the phone to stock?
As in do I need to get the phone turned to "S-Off" or do I need to flash an RUU (I believe however the phone has not been "rooted")
Phone info as it stands now:
CID: HTC__044
Software number: 1.28.708.10
Android: 4.0.3
Baseband 1.1204.103.14
Would giving you any of the following help?
Kernel version,Build Number
P.S. Please tell me my only mistake before was'nt just that I was using "HTC_044" and you have two under scores "HTC__044"
Thanks for your help again

What I can see here is your software version no. is not for HTC__044.
HTC__044's software version no. is *.**.707.*
I like to suggest that you flash the 2.17.707.3 RUU (since you changed your CID to HTC__044) and you should receive JB OTA update.
There is no JB OTA yet for x.xx.708.x

Your right, my software before I sent the phone to the Tech team was "2.17.707.3"
What region is 708?
Will flashing a 707 RUU return me to a stock handset or will I need to flash a new update manually each time?
Does that also mean my phone has been rooted? would not have thought an authorised HTC repair agent would have done that (that is if I believe that the phone was sent to an authorised agent, cant be sure with a Parallel importer)

No, your phone is not rooted. It just that you have a very lucky phone with s-off and cid:111111. 708 is Asia_HK
With your CID:111111, you can flash any RUU that you want, something that S-On device cannot do
Once you flash 707 RUU, you will receive update for 707, no need to manually flash each time. The system will accept your device as 707

I am telling you, man. In a few weeks time you'll change your mind about having an S-OFF phone. Don't trade it! I also have an S-OFF HTC One X and I didn't care much for that thing but after a few weeks of reading, I came to realize how lucky I am to have this phone. The things you can do with S-OFF!

Thanks Ckpv5
I have had a search tho and every thing I have found including the http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_One_X seems to say that I need to be "unlocked" to flash a RUU. Can you point me in the right direction of flashing without unlocking?

You read it wrong mate
To flash a RUU, you need a "locked" or "relocked" bootloader.
I believe your device is not rooted so your bootloader is "locked"
What you need to do is, reboot to fastboot (press power +volume down for a few second, you'll be in hboot, press power once, you'll be in fastboot mode).
Connect your device to PC then double click the RUU, follow the the updater instruction, you are good to go

I would like to remind you guys as i have mentioned a billion times before (and no one believed me) that OTA updates and sent by IMEI ONLY ONLY ONLY.
No matter what your phone's CID/software number/colour/origin, if HTC didn't include your IMEI on the OTA update list you will never ever receive it. In case you really need the update, you can contact HTC with your IMEI. (they will most likely ask you to send it back to a service centre)
whether the OTA update will work on not, THAT depends on your CID.

If that is correct my IMIE number should already be in there as my phone was originally HTC__044 and 707. As per my opening post I'm just trying to get it back to that.
Or are you saying that makeing those three details match still won't do the trick?

Why don't you flash the ota directly?

Sorry for that probably useless question:
If I can change my CID like its written in the first post, I can do the JB Firmware update from here?
I am waiting since JB is out, checking this every day, hoping that my CID will appear and it just works like that?

Only if you are S-OFF (check at the top of the bootloader)
Edit: don't try changing your cid if not s-on, you will just waste your time(many people tried it already including me)

[Q] Various Problems (relock & update to JB)...HELP!

Hi Guys
Hope you can help me
So i have a HOX from the swiss carrier "Swisscom" ; branded
CID Getter tells me: VODAP110
Recovery Mode tells me:
HBOOT 0.95.0000
Radio: 1.1204.105.14
fastboot getvar version-main tells me something like
1.29.166.13 (or 14...)
when i relocked i was also getting an error like : error: too many links...
i am currently using ARHD 9.7.1 and wanted to update to JB.
i am seriously a bit confused which nubmer i have to look for
i some threads the speak about the CID, in others about the RADIO.....
what i did;
i relocked my bootloader and tried the following RUU:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Vodafone_CH-DE_1.26.166.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251279_signed.exe
which resulted in my HOX to give several errors and not starting again.
i luckily could unlock again and install ARHD 9.7.1 again. What am i doing wrong?
THNAKS A LOT FOR YOUR ADVICE!!

You need the branded voda RUU that starts with 1.29 and not 1.26
We can't downgrade because we don't have S-Off ....yet !
The steps you took where fine, locking the bootloader and running the ruu......it es just the wrong one

thanks, do ypu know where i can get it? as far as i know the OTA for this phone is out by now...
what i dont understand, this stock RUU is just like putting the phone back to the status it was when i bought it right? so then i start it and make the official OTA?

First you have to run the right ruu, after that it's back to stock. After that you are able to receive the JB update (when the provider rolls it out)
You can search for a ruu on htcruu.com or.the file factory !

so this means this RUU is basically the one which was on the phone when it was released? that i very strange, because i can not find it...
nowhere, not on HTCRUU or filefactory..

The possibility exist that they didn't release the ruu !
Maybe you can find one that starts with 2.17 ! Upgrading is possible ....

Well if the ruu has not been released its just not out there .... Plain and simple
If you can find a ruu with exactly the same.numbers but starts with 2.17 instead of 1.29 (which might be released) you can flash the 2.17 ruu.
Because with a ruu we can do upgrades but no downgrades

you think this should work?

Yeah i think it will !
Put the phone in fastboot USB mode and relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Keep the phone in fastboot USB menu and run the ruu.exe from pc with admin rights !

Cool it worked fine, i have now the branded JB, recieved by OTY, Thanks for the input.
BUT do i have to make a Firmware update now as well if i want ARHD 18.0 ?
the file from here: 3.14.166.27 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 ?
THX

If you received the JB ota you have already the needed JB hboot, check in the bootloader if it's 1.31 or higher. Then you are ready to run a custom JB rom and no need to update the firmware/hboot
You have to re unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery ! And please do a NANDROID BACKUP right after flashing the custom recovery and copy it to a safe place on the pc ! This way you avoid problems if you want to go back to stock !!!

Hello guys,
I just want to thank both of you. I was in the same situation as discussed here and I just solved the problem with your help!
Thanks a lot!

somebody plz help, I tried this one as well, this one also didn't work, I'm familiar with the stuff, I know I'm not doing something wrong to restore, someone who's more advanced in this stuff please help me now mydevice is relocked, & can't run the RUU exe & when I reboot for anything it tells me:
"This build is for development purposes only
Do not sistribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permition.
Failure to comply may lead to legal action"
& then the device will boot back to bootloader with "device relocked" warning!

If you still have the unlock code , flash it
Phone in bootloader
Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin
Then flash a custom recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img and flash it
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Download a custom rom and flash it with the including boot.img
Then you have at least a working phone and you can charge it in the recovery before your batt runs out !!!
Ow and by the way the error has more to do with the pc than with the phone because its the correct ruu !!!
I know what i'm talking about mate

Thanks for the guide but all this is a normal process to go back to where I was, I have failed to run the RUU many other times while trying
Yes I have the unlock code, & I have gone back to a billion times, but this time I want to keep my phone half way bricked untill I figure out how to run the RUU file, because I have tried it here and there on other computers too & it still gives me the same error

I had the same error yesterday when running an older version RUU to get it's ROM.zip;
But running a latest version.. all ok. Not sure if this is complicating with the latest HTC driver installed.
BTW.. give the latest version for your device a try.
The latest is RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed.exe
This is Sense 4.1, one version before the JB update.

What do you mean by 4.1 update ?
If sense 4.1, what you have now is sense 4.1, no more further update as this is the latest for sense 4.1.
If you mean the android 4.1.1 with sense 4+, maybe you need to wait a little bit longer before the update comes but you can try settings-about-software update-check now
But based on my experience with One S, I do not have update from 1.18 to 2.15; I have to manually update with RUU. Not sure if HTC stopped the OTA update when RUU is available.
So if there is no update, you can use the JB RUU to update to Sense 4+.

ow thanks once more, thankfully & luckily they already released the 4.1.1 with sense 4+ on OTA update, sense 4+ is amazing fast, my last sense experience was when I just bought my one x which was when sense 3 was just out, & I was disapointed, but now, I'm really surprised of it's smoothness & faster speed

[Q] Begginer help

Hello, i just bought an HTC One X phone, it is running android 4.0.4 and sense 4.1 and it says in the info software version 2.17.401.2 , it is also rooted so i can't do OTA update. Now i want to have the latest officiel rom or custom rom ased on the official one, my question is where do i go from here, is it possible to go back to stock and do official update from there, or what do i have to do to, i don't mind using a custom made rom if it is a stable one.
EDIT: Some more info, the device says unlocked when i boot in recovery, i have standard recovery i think (white screen with 3 droids bottom)
HBOOT-0.96-0000
i can choose fastboot or recovery, simlock ...etc
Thanks for the tips guys.

I bet there is a ruu available for you with that low hboot, you ha e to put the phone fastboot mode/bootloader and run a fastboot command from the pc
Fastboot getvar version-main
Post that outcome here please and i can help you getting back to stock the easiest way !

Oke, start with charging the phone to 100% i will get the links and things you need .....
Edit :
In steps :
Put the phone in fastboot usb mode and relock the bootloader with this command :
Fastboot oem lock
Then keep the phone in the bootloader and execute this ruu with administrator rights
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed.exe
When the ruu is finished and the phone boots into the OS you go to the settings - about - software update menu and check manually for updates. When they are available you continue to install these updates (there should be multiple updates)
If you don't get updates you can report back here and i can help you further to get updated.

If you don't get updates you can report back here and i can help you further to get updated.

The RUU says asia, is it ok if my phone is from UK?

Then it's imported into the UK, that's probably why they put the 2.17.401 rom on it ! It's the correct ruu.
The phone is originally from Asia !

Ok i did the RUU but now i only have english and asian languages, can i flash a european RUU after this one now ? it's annoying like that for me
EDIT: it does not detect OTA updates, am i even more screwed now ? or is there hope to go back to stock european version ?

You have English ? Whats the difference then ? And no you are not screwed. Relax .... in the end when we are done it will be all fine.
Next step :
Run this ruu too and check then again for updates ......

thanks to @Mr Hofs
instructions are in every rom thread OP

okok i finally got that RUU (yes my internet is that bad lol) and it says it cant update the phone tellsme to get the correct file @Mr Hofs, but now i found via OTA a 1Mb Update i applied it, and after reboot now i see a 300+Mb update Android 4.1.1 and Sense 4+, i am installing it, i'll keep you guys updated. I appreciate your help thanks again.

Oke and after that you should get even more ota's all the way up to 4.2.2 sense 5. After that we will get your French language back

It would be just great, i love the phone, great device like always by HTC, well now we have to wait with my slow internet to get all that done.

No problem. I will check here from time to time anyway. No rush.....rushing things ends up in errors

The phonei s finally updated to android 4.2.2 ad sense 5, but now i have a very strange WiFi issue, wifi works for 10-30 seconds then nothing, it says it is connected but i have no network or internet access until i turn it off and on again, what can that be ?
EDIT: After investigatin the forum a little, it seems like a lot of people are having the same issue after the update :s, well i will end up using custom roms i guess lol

S-OFF restore stock rom

I have a one x tegra 3 device which i got a couple of days back.it was brand new and it was on 4.1.1(i guess)out of the box..
Everything was fine and there were no problems at first then i did 3 ota updates and now it's on 4.2.2 but non of the sensors are detected by the phone now.hence auto-rotate,etc are not working.
i guess something must have gone wrong with the ota updates since this issue started right after that..
So i guess flashing the complete stock rom from scratch like how i do using odin with samsung phones might solve this..
Can someone pls tell me how to do this..
I read many other threads but it seems very confusing with htc phones since this is my first htc..i have done it countless times with samsung phones..
Moreover my phone shows s-off in the bootloader with cid-11111111.. so it's all the more confusing for me as i don't know much about this security thing implemented by htc..i've seen that being s-off i can easily brick the device..
Also let me know if i can downgrade back to 4.1.1 since everything was working perfect on that..the hboot was 1.39 on 4.1.1 and now it's 1.72 on 4.2.2
I am also including photos of the device..
Pls bear with me and forgive me for being such a noob

can you please tell me how to install this ruu in my one x?
also is there any special precaution that i should take since my device is s-off.
Please don't ask me to refer other threads because i'm getting confused if it's the same procedure since other devices are s-on and there are some confusing things like unlocking the bootloader etc,

Keep the bootloader locked, put the phone in fastboot usb mode and execute the ruu with admin rights on the pc. It should flash the phone back to full stock 4.1.1 with bootloader 1.39.

i tried running the ruu multiple times..it's always stuck at waiting for bootloader :crying:

Is the phone in the bootloader before you execute the ruu and do you see in red "FASTBOOT USB" ?

I tried it with phone in the bootloader and it shows FASTBOOT USB but the ruu shows getting device information after the first few steps and then just minimises..a new window does'nt open up and there is no progress etc,
when i run the ruu with the phone turned on..the phone shuts down and shows a black screen with htc written on it and on the computer it shows waiting for bootloader and then nothing else happens..
both the times after a while i removed the usb and and rebooted the phone..

Hmm try a 2.17.401 ruu from the androidruu.com site subsection ENDEVOURU

I reinstalled all the htc drivers on my pc,disabled the antivirus and ran the 3.14 ruu ..
This time it ran without getting stuck anywhere but after showing sending file for a while it gives an image error and says get the correct ruu or something like that..
I tried both in fastboot usb and with the device turned on..
Should i still download the 2.17 ruu and try it or any different version??
i've been doing a lot of reading on xda and i've seen that s-off supercid devices can accept any ruu??so idk why im getting this error
