Gaining superCID (required for s-off)

1) Unlock device
2) root device with means of your choice
3) adb shell
4) su
5) echo -ne "22222222" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=20
6) reboot bootloader
7) fastboot oem readcid
confirm change of cid

This is interesting! Hopefully we will get s-off too still much needed a custom recovery thanks for this
I also thought super Cid consists of "1111111" least it did for the sensation and other phone

supercid can be 11111111 or 22222222 and probably 333333333 etc
I posted the supercid guide so i could post the s-off here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38346549, i wanted them separate as not everyone may want both.

yea just found this out when i went back to main forum page thanks for this, this should push more deving for this phone too!

I just recently switched to HTC. What exactly does superCID do?
Sent from my HTC One VX using Tapatalk 2

puts your phone in a region free form, so you can and will be able to flash other roms from different region(debrand)
normall the output would be ATT_01 for USA or something along the lines thats letting the phone now to only accept roms that have region of Att_01

it worked for me too
thanks .. now to s off

Oh okay does that completely unlock the phone to use on other carriers as well?

No this is only the cid. The cid is what region the phone is for. It is also what the ruu checks for compatibility

[Q] Help.Changing MID meets a problem.

I followed this thread to change my mid to Developer Edition,but I've got a problem
[how to]change your MID without the eng bootloader
I'm under Windows 8.1
when I run
Code:
adb shell
Code:
echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x31\x00\x32\x00\ x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384
it showed this:
Code:
0\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5:cannot open for write: Permission denied
I thought running su might help,however after I run su it showed:
Code:
su
/system/bin/sh:su:not found
Any one knows how to deal with this?I think it's a permission problem,so do I have to run it under Linux as root?Or there's another way?
I have solved this problem,just have my device rooted,then it worked.

1. your device must be S-Off & rooted
2. adb shell
3. su
4. su
5. run that command
6. exit
7. exit
8. done

Trouble (accidentally locked dev edition device)

I accidentally locked the bootloader on my developer edition one M8. I was returning it to stock for a warranty exchange (I already have the replacement device and I need to ship the old one back within the next few days).
I need to get this thing back to stock ASAP
Right now my bootloader is locked (laugh all you want. I'm an idiot.) but I'm S-OFF. Where do I go from here? I need to make sure I'm S-ON and have the tampered flag removed before I send it back, otherwise I'm sure they will bill me for a replacement motherboard and not allow me to have any say in that.

This is basically what I need to undo (I was in a hurry and copy/pasted the wrong text from a tutorial)
adb shell
su
echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796
exit
exit

Code:
to UNLOCK your bootloader,enter the following:
adb devices
adb shell
su (if needed to get a # prompt)
echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796
(i would very strongly recomend you copy/paste this)
exit
(exit a second time if you need to to get back to a normal > prompt)
adb reboot bootloader
verify you are now unlocked

mmcblk0p6 is pgsfs , which is where the tampered flag is, but with newer hboot it's a official or modified flags... so commands will work only if your s-off... do not try with s-on

Have you tried this set of commands with a clean install of rooted custom rom? (With SuperSU setup correctly.)
to UNLOCK your bootloader, enter the following:
adb devices
adb shell
su (if needed to get a # prompt)
echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796
(i would very strongly recommend you copy/paste this)
exit
(exit a second time if you need to to get back to a normal > prompt)

If you have TWRP installed, place one of the custom roms from here in the M9 section.
Odexed, deodexed - doesn't matter - just not a stock RUU. It will be rooted already. Then proceed with unlock.

I keep doing that but for some reason it isn't rooted when I boot back up. In my twrp it shows that it installed it but it doesn't. My bootloader status shows locked instead of relocked or tampered.

Open adb Shell while your phone is booted into twrp. That shell has root prompts by default so simply run the echo cmd to unlock the phone.
