Ah i ok i just thought because i have S-OFF, i would be able to install the stock rom it anyway, so ive done that and installed the stock PD98IMG 1.32.405.6
Is there anything else i need to do to prevent the phone from locking again? also ive read about this clockworkmod recovery and rom manager.... is that needed to keep my unlock or anything? thanks again guys.
You do not need to do anything anymore, your phone will remain unlocked until you lock it again using Radio S-OFF tool.

Also i have set my "CID" to stock HTC__001, but im not sure what this is meant to do as it seems to have made no difference?
... and your saying that for my phone to become locked again, i would have to change it to s-off, then click "sim unlock" again?
The radio S-OFF tool does not change your software CID, it changes the bootloader CID. So there it makes huge difference. You can try it, you no longer need a goldcard
For your phone to become locked, yes, you have to select S-ON and put your branded CID to your phone (if your phone is branded, that is). The SimUnlock cannot be undone, and it does not matter, because anybody can unlock their phones when they just pay for the code. The difference is that radio tool is free.
thanks for the reply mate..
i just have one question "For your phone to become locked, yes, you have to select S-ON and put your branded CID to your phone"... i have put S-On back, as i was worried i would make changes by accident to the nand so i put it back to s-On just incase, and my phone isnt locked its still unlocked?
... also im not following you with the CID idea, the phone was/is branded to Orange UK, so i set the CID to stock HTC__001, but this has made no differerence and still seems to be branded...?
and when you say it changes the boot loader CID, do you mean the white recovery screen etc? and when you said it makes a huge difference, what do you mean by that?
You say that your phone is still unlocked after S-ON, what do you mean by that? You cannot install a custom rom, so it is not unlocked. Root is possible with S-ON, but try modifying something in /system/..
And what do you mean about phone still being branded after HTC__001? The CID is just a permission to install different ROMs from different sources, for example HTC__001 allows you to flash any WWE ROM. You probably had ORANG001, with that it was not possible to flash HTC WWE ROM.
by unlocked i mean, can accept any simcard from any network, for example i am using an o2 simcard in it. it is S-ON, im just wanting to make sure i dont lose my unlock.
also what does WWE mean. sorry for the noobness guys.
Hi there,
I wonder if I unlock bootloader, root and flash a RUU or a custom ROM will sim unlock my WFs locked on Vodafone ?
Searching forums for "sim unlock" doesnt helepd. Sorry for noob question.
Cheers,
Alex
It won't, you'll need a XTC Clip to sim unlock.
Thanks for fast answer.
I was prevoiusly using unbranded DHD and boy was life easier with root, s-off etc
Now on One-X im on branded T-mob, I have obtainded the sim unlock code so am now partly free but still t-mob005 cid.
My question is can the cid be modified now im sim unlocked or am i stuck on ICS until t-mob release JB?

No, CID can't be changed without S-Off, and we don't have S-Off.
SIM Unlock and S-Off are completely separate.
I know sim unlock and s off are different, just thought there may of been a hack to modify cid.
Cheers anyway
Hello
I'm selling my HTC One M8. Currently the bootloader is unlocked, rooted, s-off and using super CID. The guy that wants to buy it is using a different carrier and my phone is locked to my carrier. Will the super CID unlock it for any carrier, and still function after bootloader is locked, unrooted and s-on?
Thanks!

That's a no then. Thank you, my fault for not searching enough.
No problem pointing you there
i have an M8 S-off with Super CID. i got an unlock code from o2 UK last November and have only tried it now (with an EE sim).
when i try to unlock it asks for sim network unlock pin but will only allow 4 digits and not 8 which is needed for the unlock.
the EE sim doesn't have a sim pin lock and works in other phones.
is the SuperCID interfering with the unlock code i got from O2? anyone know O2's CID for the HTC?
TIA!
