I had a previous thread before but it seems to be deleted... sorry?
ive followed threads http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003

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.
Hello All
simply i can't get my stock rom as it is 1.29.709.12, and i need the device to get back to its stock to be able to OTA to fix some weird issues like sound and lids.
I've heard about the superCID that allows me to install another RUU on my device, so is that true? and can this be done on the international unbranded devices?
CID: 621
Image Version: 1.29.709.12
hboot: 0.95
s-on
appreciate your support folks

We need to have s-off on the one x before we can write super cid. At the moment s-off has not been found. Did you make a nandroid backup of your stock?
nope, unfortunately i was a newbie when I rooted and installed the 1st custom rom, and after everything was gone I’ve been told that i should have made a nandroid backup (my bad)
ok, let me ask it in another way, my target is to have an official rom to OTA, and finding my 1.29.709.12 RUU or a higher x.xx.709.x is impossible. any help would be really appreciated.
what if I get someone else's nandroid backup? will it allow the OTA then?
I need to get back to stock and wanted to make sure I am doing this the easiest way so I dont brick my phone. I have a TMobile M8 with supercid (cid-11111) and S Off. I currently have skydragon gpe rom installed with latest firmware 4.x firmware. Do i need to Relock bootloader and change cid back to tmob cid? then use which ruu to get back to stock. Sorry guys, been pressed for time and did as much searching as i could,
I appreciate any help thanks.
it worked
I relocked bootloader and set cid back to tmobile cid then used ruu directly from tmobile. It worked thanks anyways everyone.
Guys,
Need help and answers on the following. Just to let you know I am on S-OFF
1) Can I change my CID to SuperCID?
2) How to change to SuperCID?
3) Can I flash a RUU of EU (A5_UL) on my HTC 816 A5_UL(Asia HK)?
4) How can I revert back if needed? Do I need to flash a relevant RUU (RUU relevant to Asia HK) if I revert back to stock CID?
5) Does changing to SuperCID make any affect to usage of the phone? (like SMS, Calls, Internet etc.)
Thanks in advance....

I forgot the exact method I used, but I just googled a method for the m7 and got the exactly system directories from the "commands for s-off users" thread. Basically you just change your cid to (8?) Ones, and just copy your current cid into a text file or something in case you need it again. I have a5_chl and I haven't seen any changes since I applied super cid, so no problems there. As for the ruu issue, I'm not exactly sure, some people say you'll be OK, others say it will brick your phone due to different partition sizes. Anyways good luck![emoji1]

I think only sunshine app is the only way
But there are other apps but it’s not working according to me
