Can you flash a different RUU on a carrier locked phone... So for example I'm on H3G, could i downgrade and flash a European RUU?

You need s-off and matching mid and cid for a full conversion, or you could s-off and flash a different firmware with a custom rom

I'm S-off but I never thought at the time to set superCID to 11111111, now I believe I have to have SuperCID set to this in order to flash firmware update, my question is how do I go about doing this without having to do firewater S-off again?
You don't have to redo S-Off again.
As long as your device is S-Off, simply reboot to bootloader/fastboot mode
then run command
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Good stuff cheers mate

...flashing firmware that is designed for a phone from a different region or carrier.
I have the unbranded M8, with the CID: BS_US001. Do I need SuperCID if I only want to flash custom ROMs? I'm just wondering if it's better to have it and not need it? I'm s-off and rooted, btw.

To run custom roms you do not need supercid.

super CID normally only helps if your trying to flash firmware meant for a different region / type.
i use a tmobile m8 so my CID is TMOB010 if i remember right lols....
if i feel like flashing my firmware to GPE so that i can fully convert the phone to GPE phone they i need superCID.
thats the best example.
I went ahead and changed it. I figured what the hell.

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!

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).

near as I can tell your one is from Cinncinati Bell and you'll probably never see an update. It's similar to a T-mobile One if memory serves me right. Anyway you'll need S-OFF to convert your phone to DE or international if you want to receive updates

you can flash roms without s-off, but some roms are going to need firmware that's up to date. Your phone will not get that up to date firmware unless you get s-off and do the developer edition conversion ( change CID and MID and flash DE RUU)
As Far as your phone being international it really should not matter as long as it's working on the carrier you use, it is a LTE compatable M8_UL

You need to s-off and update firmware to run that ROM, otherwise you will have some serious issues including long (like 5-10 minute) boot times and broken WiFi.
Same is going to happen if you try to run any 4.4.3 Sense based custom ROMs coming from 4.4.2.
Just search and read if want more info on firmware. This has been discussed probably dozens of times on other threads.

Just look in the Development forum section for the threads regarding firmware. You can flash after the fact (after ROM is already installed). But I normally recommend to backup any important data before flashing just about anything "just in case".

Relocking bootloader is not required or suggested.
I'm not sure which firmware goes with your CID. You'll need to research yourself, unless somebody who knows chimes in.
As long as you have a GSM M8, the firmware should be fine. But you may or may not experience some minor network issues, if the firmware is not intended for your carrier.

Yes but your s-off go ahead and do the conversion it's very easy
If you want to use the .401 versions just use the CID HTC__001 and MID 0P6B10000

You don't need stock recovery to run an RUU.
But you do need to change the device's CID and MID to match the RUU.

As I already stated, if you want to run the Euro RUU, you need to change your MID and your CID to the Euro CID, MID.
If either (or both) CID or MID do not match what the RUU is looking/intended for, the RUU will fail.

You mean fully convert using RUU? You would need s-off ($25 by sunshine app, unless it already happens to be s-off) and change the CID. Unless you are seeking the change the band support, its probably not worth it to fully convert.
