I converted my M8 to a GPE edition a few days ago and so far everything's been working ok. When I did the conversion, I needed to change the CID (GOOGL001) and I'm assuming its all worked ok as I flashed the phone with the 4.4.3 ruu and the phone then updated itself to 4.4.4 through an OTA update. The phones not rooted, S-Off has been reversed and I've re locked the bootloader.
The problem I now have is when I try to use recovery to update to 5.0.1, which from what I've read, should be possible. before I can select the update file I'm getting 'Check CID failed' and the phone just reboots back to android. I've been googling the issue and cant find anything specific... any ideas?
Given this is happening now, when the OTA update does arrive, is this going to cause me problems?
Link us to the thread where you found the 5.0.1 update zip/file your trying to use.
Why would you go S-ON after being S-OFF ?

I have a bootloader unlocked HTC one X running on 1.28. I got the 1.29 update notification today, but it kept failing when I try to install it. I am on Clockworkmod. It says cannot mount SD card. And I renamed it and deleted the assert cid thing, it failed without a reason.
And I tried to flash back to stock recovery, it still did not work. Do I really need to lock the bootloader to get this work? That's so troublesome.
Anyone can help me? Thank you very much in advance.

You need to flash stock recovery. bootloader doesnt matter. Are you in europe?

as far as i did my last OTA am on a branded phone. I restored my backup stock rom installed stock recovery and downloaded the OTA and installed fine. No need to relock bootloader or anything else. have you tried rebooting your phone and trying again? or have you flashed the proper stock recovery mate
Doesn't work for me either,puted the stock restore,i even relocked my bootloader and still nothing,it doesn't seem to work,i will try to update trough recovery mode,hope that will work.

Same here, any solutions
I don't think that i will try to update to 1.29 anymore,i read on a site that 1.30 will be lauched very soon,so i will try to update to 1.30 when it will came up.I don't know what else to do,i mean,i've tryed everything and still no luck with this update.
I have exactly same issue as you,but what I think if its be realise of 1.30 for us be same problem if we don't find any solution now.
I'm in Japan. I've tried that, nothing worked.
Mine is unbranded. I've tried all of them. I've had enough of it.
It won't work. Don't waste your time.
No solutions seemed to work so far. My choice is to ignore it.
Yes, me too. No more 1.29.
Same here, was 1.28 and unlocked the bootloader and rooted. Tried CWM method but doesn't work and hope someone will have solution to this.
I have same problems i surf a lot today,and I find that my problem is that 1.29 Update CID is different from my phone CID. U can get u CID by cidgetter from store. And if u try to flash update by cwm it shows what Phone CID's supporting update witch u have. Just try to check this guys,thats what i find and my opinion it should work.
I think my solution to find update witch supports HTC__001 CID
So basicaly you are saying to download the update and then reboot the phone,enter in recovery mode (cwm) and then try to flash the 1.29 update that we've downloaded?i allready tryed that and it doesn't work,gives me an error and stops.if it's a CID problem can't we just put our HOX CID into the update?i think that i've seen somewhere on xda a metod to do that but i don't remember in which topic.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
if it possible to change CID in update,so yeas its solution witch we need. But I don't know how to do it.
I think we will skip the 1.29 update and wait for the next one.I'v just read on the forum that version 1.32 was released (nothing confirmed yet,just some pc screenshots),maybe that version will work.I will check periodicaly for the 1.32 update and see if it works.
I found a thread talking about deleting the lines about CID in a update-script file or something similar. I've tried that, but still ended up with error. I am going to give up.
Did any of you flashed something on 1.28?I am thinking that after i updated to 1.28 i flashed the 3 dot removal.Maybe this is the cause that the update fails?
I haven't flashed anything,just rooted flashed cwm and superU. No updates gonna work for us till we get S-OFF its just one solution. Follow guys in S-OFF Discussion they progressed a lot on it. If they crack our S-ON to S-OFF we can do with our phones whatever we want to do. And install whatever we want to install including updates. Now just wait...
Hi I hope some one can help, I rooted my phone then I wanted the new update which I ccouldn't get while being rooted, so I unrooted with a step by step guide, when it came to the Cid number I couldn't find one to match so I used a different one, now some of the pre-installed apps are in French n when I download the update after its ready to be installed a message comes up saying can't update please revert back to the official htc software or something along them lines! Any help is very greatful, thanks.

Being rooted won't prevent an OTA from installing, there must have been something else and you just overlooked it in favor of "being rooted".
You have to be stock to install OTA, stock rom, stock recovery, no changes to /system i.e no xposed framework, no modified build.prop file, no deleted apps like facebook etc.
Being rooted, S-OFF and even bootloader unlocked will NOT prevent OTA.
When I tryed to do the update while I was rooted it downloaded then restarted into the screen where u can recover or back up, so I thought the only way to get the update was to unroot it and now I'm stuck on what to do, my Cid number was different to the one I installed, my bootloader now says relocked and tampered do I reboot and put my Cid number back to what it was or is there something else I can do?
32.50
Well what was your CID number? What is it now?
CID ORANG001
1.70.73.2 that's what it was before unrooting
And now it's Cid orang202
1.70.73.2
Go for Super CID which is - 11111111, and for eu MID which is - 0P6B10000. Check it Yourself here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581
You can as well change for different CID and MID from the list.
MID has to match too.
HTC One M8
Hey guys. I have a Telus GSM M8 and have unlocked bootloader, rooted, and s-off. I downloaded RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.0.1-3.11.1700.5_rooted and changed my cid to GOOGL001. When I attempted to flash RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.0.1-3.11.1700.5_rooted I got to what seems from all the reading and videos to be an inevitable first failure. When I try it again it hangs. I'm running the TWRP custom recovery...
...I did not make a backup...
How screwed am I? How do I solve this? I still want to pursue GPE and OTA
Thanks guys I really appreciate it
EDIT: Also my MID is 0P6B16000
Try flashing the stock recovery and then run the RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707877
I have a T-Mobile M8 that I converted the day I got it. I had TWRP installed, super CID, rooted 4.4.4. I installed the stock Kit Kat recovery because I was planning on trying to take the OTA but then decided to run the RUU instead. Also make sure you're typing things right. A couple of times I typed the file name wrong in ADB and the installation of the RUU failed, make sure you're typing rooted at the end since you're using the rooted version.
Hey guys,
So I'm trying to help my friend apply the OTA update to his M9. Currently, his phone is on firmware 2.11.617.15, which is a developer firmware I believe. But somehow, he converted his unlocked S-OFF phone to S-On which I know makes things more difficult. I've tried numerous methods on this website such as flashing TWRP backups and trying to flash stock recoveries from HERE but I've kept getting errors saying unable to read the recovery afte rebooting. Another method I've tried is trying to update the RUU via adb using htc_fastboot commands but I'll keep getting errors such as error 19 and error 22. Any guidance will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Try sunshine again, it might work. Each phone has a license when you originally run the program

I know the best solution is switching the phone back to S-OFF, but I am sure that the only way to do that is to pay money and I'm trying to avoid that. I believe I read somewhere that S-ON just restricts the M9 from being downgraded, so updating shouldn't be a problem on S-ON correct?
If you are S-On then you can't update to 6.0 MM until the carrier releases the update.
If you S-OFF then you can update to the 6.0 MM

I recently bought an Unlocked HTC one M9 from eBay. It was on Android 5.0.2 (1.32.617.6) and I received an update notification for 1.32.617.30. When I clicked to install it, it fails saying error in cache with error 7. I think since it's a used phone the device software has been tampered before therefore the OTA update fails. I don't know the device history.This is what I found in bootloader mode.
Software status: Official
S-OFF
Bootloader:Locked
It is super CID (11111111)
And it has stock recovery.
I have tried flashing 1.32.617.6 stock ROM from stock recovery after I found it on XDA. It also failed saying signature verification failed. I searched this forum and found that someone had the same issue and they had to flash 1.32.617.6 using a SD card formatted to FAT32. I don't have a SD card so I couldn't try it.
I also tried HTC's latest RUU. EXE for Unlocked/Developer edition but it doesn't run well. It starts and shuts down after it asks me to agree to terms and conditions. I have latest HTC sync manager and it recognizes my phone. I will be trying this again on some other computer.
I really want to update my device to the latest version of OS. Please help me! I don't know what else to try.
You cannot flash an ruu because the device is modified. The easiest option is to flash an unsigned update. Unlock your bootloader and enable usb debugging first though.
Beamed in by telepathy.
I don't understand in what way the device is modified because it says bootloader Locked not relocked and everyrhing is stock. I thought it might have been restored to stock after rooting or what not. If that is the case shouldn't I be able to install OTA update?
Anyways I wanted to know if there is some way where I don't need to unlock bootloader or root it. I want to stay on stock OS.
Update: used RUU.EXE on Windows 7 computer and it worked. For some reason Windows 8/10 is not good with running external exe files.
