has anyone tried to superCID for this device. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536
If so were you able to try rom from other htc one forums on your device??
Is this possible ?

I think we are cid unlocked or at least mine was. All I did was go into bootloader and issue the following command (need s-off ofc)
Fastboot oem writecid (cid you want to input).

Why would anyone want to chance CID? Just wondering. Wont you still need VZW to remove the IMIE lock before you can switch carriers.

I guess it will be useful for me because I am from India and I have a carrier unlocked Verizon HTC One M7. This method would allow me to flash Custom ROMs from other threads too.:fingers-crossed:

International, US GSM, and Sprint ones have different mount points than the Verizon one. You flash firmware from another variant can brick your device. I highly suggest against it. This is why we have a different recovery than the other HTC ones out there in the wild.

To use htcdev to unlock the bootloader as cid is blocked. Other than that, no reason at all.

I just recently did super CID on my phone to try out other ROMs on my phone. I am switching to T-Mobile, and was trying to get LTE to work. But obviously I didn't flash firmware from another variant.

Are you sure it was locked in the first place?
The cid is hidden away in a partition we can't get to, I don't think revolutionary changes the cid because if it did the alpharev team would know about it and it would have been mentioned before, an ruu flashes original software which is also most probably locked as the carriers would complain to google for making such a simple way to unlock there phones.

You don't have to be s-off to flash a custom Rom. You have to be s-off to flash a ruu or a radio though.

Thanks, I did not know that. Guess I'm still not clear which parts of the nand are protected by S-on....
Edit: Never mind - wrong again
are there any other methods to get S-Off? I've been trying firewater for hours now and it fails every time. even tried loading roms up to the phone whilst it's copying. Nothing works. It's a standard EUR One.

This will give you S-OFF but it's a paid app. Read the whole page before proceeding

Its confirmed to work. It runs tests to make sure your device is compatible before making you buy a licence. Just make sure you have root prior.

I have installed HK and upgraded to latest 1.54.401.10 firmware (tmobile NL has not rolled it out for some reason).
Now, what else can I do with my new l33t status?
Other than the Hk mod and Viper audio software. I froze most of the bloatware. Unless you're gonna flash a rom. I'd leave just as is.
You can clear your tampered label. You can get rid of red writing splash screen. You can convert to any m8 variant. You can flash older firmware and radio. Change your cid. Lock and unlock bootloader. Etc.. almost brick proof.

S off is just for if you dont want to wipe apps correct?

S-off is for converting your phone to a developer edition or International (by changing the CID / MID and flashing a RUU)
or flashing unsigned firmware and for flashing RUU that are older than your current version.
to get s-off you must already be unlocked and rooted
O.k. so basically I need a computer there's no app,etc that can unlock my m9 correct?I don't have a computer that's why I'm asking. Thanks In advance!!!
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Free mobile app
S-off is required to update or flash certain parts of the system... but not for custom recovery (TWRP) or custom ROMs. That only requires an unlocked bootloader from HTCDEV.com
For example, once you have a custom ROM, you no longer receive OTA updates. OTA updates not only include the ROM, but also firmware updates as well. Custom ROMs do NOT include firmware updates. (I.E. the latest camera fixes, and updated radios for better signal and improved battery) Developers will often rip the firmware out of the OTAs or RUUs and provide them to be flashed separate and without wiping your device. These are modified (I.E unsigned). Modified, unsigned firmware can not be flashed without S-OFF. I believe To update your firmware without S-Off, you'll need to return to stock with an official RUU and get all the OTAs (if your RUU was not the latest version.) Then flash a custom recovery and your preferred custom ROM again.
Another thing S-Off gives you is the ability to flash firmwares for other regions.. for example I have a developer edition 1.32.617.30 firmware. I can only flash "617" firmwares. I cant flash 1.32.401.17 firmware because the "401" firmwares wont match my CID.. but I can with S-OFF.
Also a word about root.... There is no reason to root your phone if you will flash a custom ROM.. This makes 0 sense since you will root a ROM that you will then proceed to delete. The only reason to Root is if you plan to stick with the stock ROM, or if you want to backup some things that require root before you flash a custom ROM. Root is not required for flashing a ROM.

No
SunShine is our bootloader unlock/s-off tool for Motorola and HTC phones. We currently support most HTC phones, and Moto X (2013), MotoG (2013) and Droid Maxx/Mini/Ultra on Android 4.4.3 and lower. All modern HTC devices (m9 m7 m8 e8 Mini2 remix dna etc) devices are supported up to 5.0.1, as long as they are rootable.

"as long as they are rootable" means you have to already have the bootloader unlocked Twrp installed and Rooted on the M9
So if I wanted to turn my T-Mobile HTC one m9 into a dev model I just need to unlock the bootlooder and root it.and also get s-off.Is that correct.I thought the dev model had more frequency bands for you can get service in more areas.Is this right or no? Thanks In advance!!!

You don't need root for that. Just S-off.
You can flash the dev edition RUU, but it's not going to disable/enable any bands. That's all hardware. You also lose wifi calling.

OK I never use Wi-Fi calling.so does the dev edition have more or different bands or are the band's the same as the T-Mobile version.so it Is possible to duplicate the dev edition to make my T-Mobile model the same as it. Thanks

Having S-off means you can update the phone firmware (think: bios) without having to wait for a.carrier OTA. This ability is different than unlocking your bootloader which enables you to flash a ROM. Without these two things, the only way to update your phone is to wait for the carrier to get around to it. For example, we who also own M7s already are running LP, while the rest of the AT&T customers wait l.
One thing I would encourage you to do is to READ THE GUIDES THOROUGHLY, because your questions clearly indicate you are not familiar with the process or what you are doing, and one mistake can possibly brick your phone.

Yeah, the dev edition has the exact same hardware as the ATT model. The bands are different. If you want to use the phone on Tmobile, the tmobile version will be the most optimized.
The most you can do is flash the dev edition RUU.
