[Q] How do I change my CID (and get EU RUU)

I have gotten myself a s-offed HTC One X from a local carrier with their firmware on it so I have no real hope of fast updates...
CIDgetter says in the top left I have CID of 11111111, yet going down to ro.aa.maincid says TELENZ001 - the carrier
Obviously I am s-offed and can get into the bootloader, how do I go about changing my CID and flashing a European RUU?

Have you tried just plugging in when in fastboot and running the RUU? If you really do have Super CID it'll just work

Sorry to ask this but have you contacted the guys in the s-off thread? They may be interested in hearing from you.

Mind giving me a walk through guide Eddy? With a $600 toy I don't wanna mess anything up...
Will post in that thread badger and see if I can be of any use

Can you make a picture of the bootloader. To see what version HBOOT and radio you have. Maybe this is causing the issue.

Boot phone into fastboot, connect to PC, run RUU - not a lot else to do!
It'll either work or give you an error and reboot, with no changes made

Cid-11111111
hboot-0.43.0000
radio-1.1204.90.13

wawawawa!
Don't change your CID! a CID of 11111111 should be able to flash anything. SuperCID!

I realise that ofcourse, its the maincid I want changing. I assume flashing the EU RUU will change that maincid?
On that note can anyone link me to the RUU I would want?
Oh and I did post in the s-off thread, skimmed through the pages since my post and no one seemed to say anything in regards to my post

If you have superCID then choose whatever RUU you want from HERE. It will not change your CID if you flash a particular RUU.

May I hook on to this.
My CID is O2__001. So I want to change it into 111111.
When I boot into fastboot and give 'fastboot oem writecid 11111111' it says:
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links).
I've tried different usb-ports, different usb-cables
Or is there another way to change the CID?
Bootloader is unlocked (HTCDev)
HBoot: 0.43.0000
Softwareversion is still 1.26.206.2, no updates available
Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance

You can't without S-OFF, so you will only get updates from o2 or you can go custom

How do I change S-ON to S-OFF

You can't, and this is why the OP has a rare phone...
Go do some reading and you'll see why we can't get it

You're really fast! Thanks, I will search.

Sorry for not just going ahead and flashing it but...
a) Do I need root/htcdev to flash? (im assuming not)
b) If I flash the EU RUU will I get OTA updates as theyre pushed out (im assuming so)

Straight from HTC, that's why review phones sent out to media (at least in New Zealand) are also s-offd

If you have S-OFF you don't have any need for HTCdev. Being superCID your phone can get OTA updates as long as you have stock recovery.

Thought that might be the case, as for flashing the RUU, is it the standard CWM way or with the fastboot files you mentioned in the video in your sig? Do the same instructions apply from it for me?

Question about CID

So i tried to find out my CID so I can try to flashh the RUU and when i use fastboot getvar cid it says none. I read this happens when you unlock you phone, but I have never done so. I am from Romania and I bought it from an online shop stating it was new. But when I got it it looked like it was branded T Mobile Germnay (the startup image is TMob and there are programs in german that i can't uninstall).
Is this a sign that I bought a phone that was already used by someone else unlocked and locked again with fastboot oem lock? And how can I find out the CID so I can be sure if i can flash the RUU or not?

To check CID, install CIDgetter from google play.

Thanks but I am having a little trouble finding it in that mountain of data that the app provides. Any ideea what string I should be looking for?
EDIT: Never mind, found it. It's T-MOB101. Guess I can't use the international RUU, right?

Correct, you need a T-Mobile branded RUU

[Q] Help needed upgrading to JB using RUU

I've upgraded hboot on my One X (Cid HTC__016) using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924003
to hboot 1.39.
Thereafter proceeded to run the following RUU found at http://www.htcruu.com/Endeavor/RUU_...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
Phone is put into fastboot USB mode before running the RUU, using onscreen options on phone.
While the RUU runs, no progress bars show on phone, only silver HTC logo.
Update fails with Error 155, Unknown error.
Any help or advice will be much appreciated!

The ruu you are trying to flash is for the 1.36 hboot and you have the 1.39 so you are trying to downgrade it but that is not possible !
You need to find the same ruu but it has to end with .31
Try this one
http://www.htcruu.com/securekey.php...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
And you have to lock the bootloader to before running the ruu ! :thumbup:

Error 155 indicates you flashed the wrong RUU for your phone afaik. Try to reflash the original Hboot and then flash the appropriate RUU for your region/country.

Mail me with your problem. I've had the same problem, and I solved it. When I get home (in about 6 hours) I'll help you out. I had to reflash an old RUU to get all the OTAs to go JB and I managed to do it, after hours of messing around.

Well, not all HTC CID's have the latest RUU's (like mine didn't) so I found a way to flash an RUU with an older hboot.

But we are not talking about your cid, we are talking about his cid and his problem and he has an official ruu available he just had to pull the latest .... lets not make it difficult

Many thanks for the quick and helpful reply, busy DLing that RUU now, will report back soon™

Just posting to confirm that Mr Hofs' advice as per the first reply in this thread was spot-on, and I'm now running Jellybean.
Thanks!

Thanks mate ! Have fun !!!

no but if you are doing it wrong then yes i right then not

Can you elaborate what you mean by doing it wrong, also just need to know which ruu region has Portuguese and Russian and French language in it? Thank you

If you know your cid, check the help forum, and use the correct ruu then you'll have no issues. The best thing to do is look through the forum for similar posts to understand, tbh

Sorry to bother u but how do I know CID of my phone and I don't think I'll brick my phone with wrong CID, the process will just abort and not brick the phone

i think you are best off to read first before trying anything else
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_One_X
there you go

Still don't understand, wiki ruu link invalid....just need to know how to know CID and how do I know ruu is compatible with it? I plan to flash stock rom through pc

Use this app to find your cid https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tritonsoft.cidgetter e.g. mine is O2_001, Download the appropriate ruu for your cid and run it.

You can also find your cid opening cmd on your PC and typing in fastboot usb mode: "fastboot oem readcid" and your firmware version: "fastboot getvar version-main".
Your ruu version has to match exactly.
You're on ICS or JB now? It's very difficult to find ruu for JB roms.
If you have doubts about flashing via ruu you can always flash with nandroid backup

Htc one m8 NEED Help

Well i have one htc one m8 from usa. Im in europe now. I need to change it to completely stock version. I dont really know whatbthat guy from whom i took the phone did on it, but im completely lost.
Its rooted with custom recovery and custom rom. I try many guides woth adb and staff and i fail.
If there is enybody who can guide me step by step will solve my problem.
Please help me.

First of all, there is a forum section for help and questions.
Secondly, what's the problem? You need to describe the problem (and provide specific details), if you want help.
Post more info, and I'll try to help; and also ask the mods to move this thread to the Q&A Help section.

Sorry about the thread on here and i beg mods to move it.
My problem is that i want to turn this mobile comepletely to stock version and ota updates.

What version? If it Sprint or Verizon, you can't convert it.
If its T-Mobile US or AT&T, you can.
Or some smaller US carrier version?

This statement doesn't tell us anything, and is close to useless.
What specific steps did you follow? What steps fail, or what is the specific result/issue?
You need to sort this out, since without adb/fastboot, you really can't do the conversion you want.

I don't really do "step by step" but I'll help. I leave it up to the individual to do the proper learning, so they can actually understand and gain some knowledge instead of just being spoon fed (and much of the info is already well explained in guides).
In general, you need to:
1) Get adb/fastboot working (you need to provide the proper info before I can help)
2) s-off with sunshine app ($25 US license): http://theroot.ninja/
3) Change CID and MID to the version desired: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/change-wwe-m8-to-dev-edition-ota-t2826567
4) Run the desired RUU.
But as already mentioned, this depends on what version you have. Don't even try this with Sprint or Verizon. It won't work, and will probably brick the phone.

Its unbranded version not in belongs to any carrier as i search about it. The cid is WWE.

I'm skeptical of both those statements.
Unbranded US versions do exist, but are fairly uncommon. Its more likely a branded version, that has had its branding removed.
"WWE" is not a valid CID. Where are you getting this from?
You need to get fastboot working, so you can give us getvar data, so we can get the proper info on what version this is.

I have flashboot working. How can i see the proper cid?

You aren't reading very carefully, are you? "flashboot" isn't a thing. Please use the correct terminology.
Use the command: fastboot getvar all
The command won't work if you type "flashboot" :crying:
Post the output, but be sure to delete your IMEI and serial number before posting, as these are private info.

No you didn't (at least not successfully). The phone is still s-on. You skipped (or tried and failed) the step of getting s-off.
This step is not optional. s-off is required to change CID and MID.
But read more below, as I'm not sure you need s-off, or to change the CID/MID.
p00tin said:
My cid is like i said wwe. Htc_001
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First of all, you only said the CID was "WWE" which is just a description, and not an actual CID. You should have supplied the specific CID. WWE version has at least 15 different CIDs. When you ask for help, you need provide the info requested, and to be specific as possible.
Further, the CID as you typed it (Htc_001) is not correct. It needs to be in CAPS, 8 characters long, with 2 underscores: HTC__001
Most importantly, if the CID is in fact HTC__001, its already an unbranded Euro version, not US as you originally claimed. And if that is the case, you don't need to s-off or change the CID, MID.
Something doesn't seem right here. I need more information before we should proceed any further. You really need to do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (which I previously requested, but you chose to ignore). Be sure to delete IMEI and serial number before posting the getvar output.
I really need this data, before I can give you any further instructions.
