[Q] Do I need a goldcard?

Hi, thanks for taking the time to read my post. Im a noob at this and would appreciate any advise you can give.
I have root on my dhd, It is branded i think as it has orange splash screen on boot and branding to the phone also.
I've followed the instructions on this forum "How to flash a custom rom on your desire HD, and not fail"
Radio S-off.................done
easy radio tool.exe.......done
Eng S-off.....................done
Ive tested as it describes:
ace pvt eng s-off .......correct
cid- 11111111 ...........corrrect
This is where my confusion begins, I've read that when trying to flash a branded phone (as mine is), you need to have a Goldcard.
Ive also read that if your phone has cid- 11111111 then there is no need for a goldcard and you can go ahead and start the flashing of your custom rom.
I intend to flash a custom rom and my current software version is 1.40.61.2 HBOOT is 0.85.2007
Can you advise please
Regards Jody

You have SuperCID, so there should be no need for a goldcard

So this means i can go ahead and flash a custom rom?
Does having superCID mean theres no need for debranding first?
Thanks Jody

You have root and s-off, your free to flash any custom rom. You only need a goldcard for stock htc roms and ota updates, but as you have superCID, you wouldnt need one for that either

[Q] Rooting questions

Hey guys
I just got an HTC one x on 4.0.3. I unlocked it via htcdev and installed cwm.
I was planning on installing either AOSP or CM10.1 but then i realized my hboot is too low.
UNLOCKED
HBOOT - 0.96
CID - 1111111111
S-OFF
Now I know there are a couple of ways to upgrade the hboot but all of them require a particular CID.
Now since mine is SuperCID.. i'm not really sure where that leaves me.
In short, what do i need to do in order to get to 4.2.2

I "think" the superCID allows me to install basically any firmware i want - any region etc.
So I assume i need to first relock - then use an RUU (or just firmware) that gives me a higher hboot and then proceed with the rooting?

Correct ! :thumbup:

Follow the guide in my signature (you WILL need S-OFF, though) but you WILL have to root the phone before you can do anything else

Yes, but you wouldn't ever have to as your warranty would be shot unless you revert back to the EE build

CID you can find using THIS (or just by booting the phone into HBOOT)
To root the phone, you just need to follow one of the many guides online
S-OFF you'll need Sunshine
Then follow my guide and you're good to go!

Yes you do, so back up your data first as it'll be gone (use Helium if needed as it doesn't require root)

I performed the following steps, so maybe it helps a little:
1) Searched and downloaded stock firmware, hboot and recovery
2) Unlock Bootloader via htcdev
3) Install custom recovery (I used TWRP)
4) flashed root via recovery (e.g. Chainfire SuperSU)
5) performed sunshine s-off
6) flashed HTC stock firmware
7) flashed HTC stock boot
8) changed CID via adb/fastboot
9) flashed stock HTC recovery
Here you go you are debranded.
Pay attention when downloading stock firmware, recovery and hboot, als they should all have the same version number (e.g. 1.54.401.10).

[Q] S-On How do I return to Stock

Hey guys as the Title says I'm Currently S-On, Rooted and Running ARHD 22.1 on my One M8 Euro/International which is Unlocked Using 3.401.9 firmware.
How do I go about returning everything to Stock as the Guide I have found assumes I have S-off which I dont/cant do due to it saying device incompatible.
Any helps much appreciated

Anyone Able to help as I really don't Fancy having a Bricked Handset

My guide needs S-OFF for some parts but the rest can be followed if you're S-ON. There is an RUU ZIP which might also work for you, so perhaps give that a go...

you'll have to relock the bootloader if you are s-on and then flash an RUU for your phone model to return to stock

You don't need a backup if it's an EU M8 as we have the RUU ZIP - why bother with anything else?

Ok thanks I'll give it ago when I'm home its so I can receive OTA Updates as currently I'm unable to S-Off with Sunshine " Device Incompatible" apparently it will be addressed in V3. But as lollipop is rolling out I might as well go back to stock and update.
Thanks for your Help much appreciated

Is it a case of doing it in this order, Relocked the Bootloader and then Flash the RUU?
