Ok guys, I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of questions like these coming up as more and more people get their hands on this phone so I thought I'd write up a quick little guide to help people change their CID to whatever they like (ideally, SuperCID) Please note you will need to be S-OFF for this to work so before you even attempt this, make sure you've done this step
First...
What does changing the CID do you ask? Well it will allow you to flash any firmware from any region (provided your CID matches or you're SuperCID)
What is SuperCID? SuperCID is basically the "master" CID for lack of a better word... you can flash any firmware you'd like and don't have to worry about matching CID numbers
Ok, now that that's out of the way.... how do you change the CID?
Well, that's actually very simple and I'll run you through it. Let me preface this by saying I won't accept any responsibility should anything go wrong while changing your CID, not that it should as it's very simple, but still, BE CAREFUL!
For the purpose of this guide, my handsets CID was TELST001 (being a Telstra branded handset) and I'm going to change it to CID 11111111 (SuperCID)
What do I need?
You'll need a copy of fastboot on your system, you'll already have this if you've made your device S-OFF so I won't go posting links
How To:
1) Reboot the phone into download mode
2) Navigate to the folder you've extracted fastboot to (for the intents of this guide mine is C:\Users\lmenz\Desktop\Desktop\Flash_boot_31.x_0.1\fastboot)
3) Launch a Command Prompt instance from this folder
4) Now we need to find your original CID just incase you ever wish to revert back, do this by typing "fastboot oem readcid"
5) Write this CID down and keep it in a safe place, mine was TELST001
6) Here's the business end of the process, changing to SuperCID... do this by typing "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
7) Please make sure there are EIGHT 1's in the command, make sure you double and triple check before pressing enter
8) Now you'll want to confirm it's actually worked so again, type "fastboot oem readcid" which should report back INFOcid: 11111111
9) If you get this, congrats, you're now SuperCID and your job is done, I always like to reboot the bootloader into download mode again and check in the top left (where your CID is displayed) just to see for sure but it should be exactly the same
If you wish to change your CID to something other than 11111111 you can very easily (for example HTC__001) All you need to do is change what you write in step 6. So in this case "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" becomes "fastboot oem writecid HTC__001)
This is what you're command prompt window should look like if it's all gone well and you've followed my instructions correctly
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is what your bootloader in download mode should look like
Hope this helps some of you out there; any questions post here and I'll try to help as best I can.

This also works to change MID also I did it on my USA obviously changing the command to "fastboot oem writemid ********" ******** = desired MID
Yes that also works, just you need to be a bit more careful. Sometimes hardware differences can cause issues when changing the MID and flashing different firmwares

Besides taking the phone from one carrier to an other and have all there apps come with it I don't see the advantage of doing all of this.

It's useful for flashing firmwares that haven't been released in your region yet
Also, if you're using a Mac add: "./" in front of every command (minus the quotation marks) e.g. "./adb reboot bootloader"
Please clarify which US versions support LTE 850 ( band 5)
Hi there,
if you use this method to change the CID, do you then receive OTA's as per stock? or will the OTA refuse to take ?

Yeah, sure.
I just want to superCID so I can flash a generic FW that gets good, fast updates. So if I super CID and then flash an official RUU - shouldn't that automatically have stock recovery? I wont then use TWRP or anything, so technically I should be ok with future OTAs?
I'm with VODA CID and I have yet to receive the update. Very tempted to do SuperCID to flash Asia set RUU (709).
Is it possible for me to just unlock bootloader, S-OFF and just flash a 709 RUU(able to receive future OTA), if any?

I think that you're right, I'm still waiting for my HTC 10 so I can't be sure, but if I remember well, the RUU restore full stock system (including recovery)

I don't think you can get ota with supercid. Unless after flashing the ruu changes your cid to that region which I don't think it does. Once flashing a firmware you will still be supercid. I could be wrong tho.

Well, seeing as you can write CID by this method too, I could simply overcome this by writing the "correct" CID for that region, no?
thanks for your input!
From what I have read that's correct. I'm new to HTC phones tho so still learning.

after loading it shows this page and nothing...
i dont know what should i do to install them from SD Card so i tried Recovery section and then this happened for all 3 roms

You have to relock the bootloader and then reflash the Ruu in the PD98IMG.zip way.
To relock, just boot to hboot and choose fastboot.
Plug the phone and You should see fastboot USB in red.
Open a CMD as admin or terminal as root in the PC
Type: fastboot oem lock
Then, just re try booting in hboot with the Ruu in the root of the sdcard....

ok...you don't have the adb drivers. Unplug the phone and download the Hack Kit, unzip it and just run the hack-ace.cmd as admin. That will install the adb drivers and so other commands, then close it. Plug the phone back and again from fastboot usb in red try the command

There's no need to donate. Thanks I appreciate it.
Now that u are relocked, I need the CID number to find a working RUU.
To get that, boot in fastboot, plug the phone (fastboot usb in red)
Open a cmd as admin and type: fastboot getvar all. Find the INFOcidnum...and paste it here.

Okay, the issue is that there's no direct ruu for your CID number. But u can try the following.
Plug the phone in fastboot, then run the Hack Kit as admin and choose the fastboot method...see what happens. If not you will have to create a goldcard with the sdcard CID.

This is how to create a goldcard: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
Then just place the file I will send u (rename it PD98IMG.zip) in the root of the sdcard and boot in hboot.
OR
you can unlock the bootloader again and then try flashing a custom rom...there's a way...gotta find the thread.

In fact you can install any ruu or firmware because you have s-off. But i want to install the one that matches your current main version to avoid any language problems
S-off/S-on is also stated in the bootloader.
Check for it to be sure !

Yes that's true. If you put the phone in the bootloader, that's where you see the hboot number 1.12 you also see on the very top if its locked/unlocked/relocked
If it is unlocked you need to relock it and then run the ruu

Hi.
I've got an HTC One M8 and would like to get everything back to stock, but have been experiencing a bunch of issues.
The phone was stolen a couple weeks ago and I got it back yesterday. The person installed Android 6.0.1, ClockworkMod 6.0.4.8, Turbo, Viper and I've found a com.cyanogenmod.eleven folder on the SD card (not sure what it is though). I've tried doing everything by following "How to Unroot the HTC One M8 Complete Guide" by the Unlockr on Youtube (can't post a link since I'm new) , but I've been running into problems.
I can't connect the phone to a PC. I've checked Device Manager - it recognizes the phone as an Android Phone and it seems to think that it's a CD ROM.
My version-main is blank, and my cidnum is 02___102.
I've managed to get to Recovery but I get "md5 missmatch" every time i try to run it. There isn't a nandroid.md5 file in any of the backup folders.
Could someone please help me get my phone back to an out of the box state? I'm not a pro, but I'll be able to follow instructions.
Thanks.
Easiest way would be a RUU. Just find one that matches your Cid and you're good to go

Thanks dude, but could you elaborate a bit?
I found a collection of M7 RUUs but can't seem to find them for M8. What does the process look like, as in what should I do after I find the correct RUU?

I don't have the time right now, but I'm sure that there's many guides in the general forums about how you can return 100%to stock

Like I said, it's not the guide I'm worried about, it's the issues I've been running into. Writing 10 sentences doesn't really require that much time if you know what you're writing about.
Thanks man, you've really helped me out.

Can you get to the bootloader ?
If possible, post here fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no.
Need to confirm your current firmware version base on these getvar details because your version-main is blank before we can advise whether to use RUU or non-rooted stock nandroid backup to restore

Here's the getvar image I got when I tried to unroot the phone a couple days ago. If it's missing anything important I'll do it again. And yes, I can get into bootloader and recovery.

Great.. your firmware is 4.20.206.1
I'll give you link to RUU in half an hour when I'm home.
Meantime you may want a different method, restore non-rooted nandroid backup and its stock recovery then do OTA. You can read my thread linked in my signature.

I read your post earlier, but since I'm a noob I couldn't figure it out. So I'll wait for the RUU if that's ok with you.

Here is the 4.20.206.1 RUU.exe : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555499
and you need PC with USB2.0 (don't use USB3.0 or any USB hub) and the latest HTC USB drivers -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926362&postcount=4
As your device is S-On, you need to relock the bootloader.
Put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC.
Open a command prompt from your fastboot/adb folder, run these commands to relock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
right click the RUU.exe and select run as administrator, follow the instructions accept, next, next, update & blalblabla until it finish.
Lates you can check for OTA and update the device to the latest Marshmallow. I believe there will be two OTAs.
Note : this procedure will wipes everything on your device and give you out of the box state phone.

Ok, so here's a bunch of questions. Bear with me, please
1. The RUU link takes me to a blank page, I guess it's down or something.
2. When I run the adb installer and choose to install the drivers it asks me if I want to install Samsung drivers. Is that how it's supposed to be?
3. Is it necessary to uninstall HTC Sync Manager? If so, how do I leave the drivers?
4. Do I need to put the RUU in a specific folder or can I run it from wherever I downloaded it?

2. Choose Y to install it system-wide but N for the drivers. You can open command prompt anywhere that you like even from desktop, the adb/fastboot work.
3. Yes, uninstall HTC Sync Manager, the installer will install Htc Sync Manager, USB Drivers and some microsoft needed runtime (separately). When you uninstall HTC Sync Manager, it will uninstall HTC Sync Manager only.
4. Anywhere that you like ... put on desktop for easy access.

So, I finally got the link to work and got everything set up, but I noticed that there's an O2 in the name of the RUU. I believe O2 is a carrier and my phone had no carrier when I bought it, I just wanted to check if that could be an issue before I do anything.

You wrote on your post #1 "My version-main is blank, and my cidnum is 02___102" and your getvar all show cidnum O2__102 ... that means your device is an O2 variant.
I believe it is SIM unlocked, so you can use any SIM on it. Being an O2 device, you can only run O2 RUU and installing RUU won't relock the SIM unlock.

Hello,
My uncle gave me his htc one M8 and for some days now I've been trying to factory reset it and update from 4.4.4 to latest android version with no success. Everytime I try to factory reset (from settings or fastboot or pc with ruu) it fails everytime. It doesn't delete music and gallery (deletes apps and settings though) and the update notification never shows up. I'm sorry if the solution is on another thread but I haven't found anything during these days. I live in Balkan so the phone isn't linked with any carrier (bought in a regular store).

you don't need micro sd. you can flash by fastboot commands. use the following files for fastboot binaries. copy the files which you downloaded to fastboot folder.
1) go to fastboot usb mode
2) fastboot oem rebootRUU
3) fastboot flash zip hboot file name.zip
4) fastboot reboot-bootloader
5) fastboot oem rebootRUU
6) htc_fastboot flash zip ruu file name.zip

So it was fine until I arrived on campus where I rely on my data plan. Mobile hotspot doesn't work. It just says error but I assume it is because of the verizon rom. Is there a way to fix this? I think a global unlocked rom should work since the cid:111111

did you fix sim icon?
it's different to say something about hotspot. i haven't used hotspot in verizon. what is the error? is device rooted? it may not work hotspot as a bug came after root.
i belive there may no bugs in verizon stock roms.
you have superCID. but didn't forget that MID is 0P6B20000 (M8_WLV). your device is a limited one. but can be used globally.
*) if your firmware is 6.21.605.3, didn't downgrade or change it.
*) don't change mid. ( there are hardware changes than M8_UL) device may get bricked.
*) try verizon custom rom. but there may be hidden bugs. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development
after few days, as a user you can understand that stock rom is better at all costs.

No I didn't fix sim icon, didn't downgrade, didn't root, nothing. I am pretty sure it's a sim problem. Will allowing root acces bypass the verizon check and create a hotspot?

We can't think that root access will allow to create hotspot. use this custom rom. there may be a chance to create a hotspot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rom-nusenseven-marshmallow-sense-7-t3266678.

Nope. Root is just a permissions change, that allows the users access to modify certain things. It doesn't really modify anything in itself.
Your best bet if you need WiFi hotspot or tethering, is to flash a custom ROM that supports the Verizon version.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage that may or may not occur. I do not anticipate any harm, use at your own disclosure.
Ever since the HTC U11 you cannot gain permanent S-Off, it is unknown if this will ever change. Due to this you must relaunch the Sunshine app every time you want to modify your CID. If you follow this guide to a T, you will understand the process and understand the limitations.
Your Sunshine license is tied to your phone's hardware and cannot be transferred to another device.
You cannot change a Dual Sim to a Single Sim device and vice versa.
Whatever new region CID you switch to, you must have a matching MID.
If you ever relock your bootloader, you must revert back to your original CID before doing so.
You may lose or gain WiFi Calling and VoLTE Features depending on the CID. Flashing LeeDroid Magisk Rom will enable the features on any CID. Your Carrier must still support them!
Requirements:
Properly setup ADB and HTC drivers, enable Developers options, USB debugging
Unlock your bootloader, install TWRP and root with latest stable build of magisk.
Use without a phone case to have access to sd card slot and Vol. up button
32GB or less, micro SD card
Good quality USB cable, preferably OEM
Funds to Purchase a license to use the Sunshine app
RUU of the CID you want to change to
Connect your device to your computer and startup the terminal. Use
Code:
adb devices
to see if your device is recognized.
Reboot to download mode by using
Code:
adb reboot download
, you device will reboot in download mode then use
Code:
htc_fastboot getvar all
and note down your device's information.
Once you got your CID and MID information, locate the CID you want to change from this spreadsheet and make sure they having matching MID. Then download the appropriate RUU.
Rename the RUU to 2Q55IMG.zip and place in the root of the 32gb micro SD card.
Visit official sunshine website and download the Sunshine app from the download section. Install the apk, run the compatibility test in sunshine and once confirmed compatible buy a license.
Launch Sunshine and read the instructions, it will send your device in download mode with temporary S-Off.
Connect device to your computer and open the terminal. Use
Code:
fastboot devices
to make sure your device is detected in fastboot.
Use
Code:
fastboot oem writecid
with your desired CID at the end. Do not reboot! Example:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__626
On your device's Download Mode Menu select Reboot to Download with the Vol. buttons and press power button to initialize. You will now have your desired CID and your device should still say S-Off. Do Not Reboot!
Insert the SD Card and on your device's Download Mode Menu select Reboot to Download with the Vol. buttons and press power button to initialize. Your device will now be prompted to press vol. up to use the RUU on your SD Card.
Your device will erased,formatted and converted your new CID. You are done!!
Setup LeeDroid Magisk Rom to enable Wifi-Calling and VoLTE options.
Thanks for writing this guide up man, I know it's only preliminary at the moment but I'm sure myself and many others will appreciate it.
Once I get home tonight I think I'll be changing my CID so I can finally get my bloody phone on Pie!
Ok I've hit a stumbling block.... S-OFF just fine and manged to change the CID in command line however when I go to type "fastboot reboot download" I get the following error "fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target download"
Luckily I just changed my CID back to my standard one, reset the phone by "fastboot reboot" and away I went again. But still obviously on my stock CID.
So I tried again, this time changed the CID and selected Reboot to Download in the Download mode menu itself and that worked a treat. So here I am now running on my new CID!
Your guide was awesome, thank you. Just thought you might want to amend that little step unless I've done something wrong or am using a different fastboot version thank yourself

Not sure about root yet, I ran out of time but from looking around it seems installing Magisk is a bit different due to TWRP not working properly. Not sure if you want to include that in the guide as well?
