Hmm.
I think it have.
CID (Country ID) is locked to 8S.
To check CID, turn off phone, wait sec and push together Vol+ and Vol- with Power button till CID table load.
If You wish to go out, just push Power and voila...

Well mine CID appears to be HTC__032

CID: None

hi guys
i tried the "fastboot getvar cid" to check the CID on my one X, and it returned that the there is no CID code stored (cid: None)
is this normal ? when there is an update from HTC, how will they know which firmware to push to my mobile ?
Thanks
Did you unlock through htcdev? I believe this removes your CID

I have not unlocked it yet. It is still untouched with the original firmware that came with it
Known issue. I think you can read cid by adb shell getprop ro.cid

If you don't mind, what was the CID value?
Did you buy your phone from Dubai? Where & how much?
I got it from Gridzdirect for AED 2499/- but my CID is HTC__044, which is for hTC Asia WWE.
When previuosly got my Sensation, the CID was HTC_J15.

How much?
What is the impact of having a CID : None? From what i read, by unlocking the phone using HTCDev.com will remove the CID, then how else would anyone still have the CID?
my stock unlock one with cid:none too
from singtel
with adb shell I have O2__001.
What kind of rom can I install?
For example, can I install this one:
'RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.7_Radio _1.1204.104.14_release_259281_signed'
I rooted the phone and installed CWM.
The original software on the phone is: 1.26.206.2
Radio is 1.1204.90.13
Language dutch
Thanks in advance

It looks like you have an O2 branded device. If your device is locked to your operator, you will have to wait for an update from O2.

You can flash a European ruu any time. Even without unlocking, because european ruu's already have cid htc__15 in them.
But note that if u flash a newer (higher version) european ruu then u wont be able to go back. Also, u wont get ota updates automatically.

With the sensation and evo 3d, that was the case.
For the One X, you never know.
Actually, for the evo 3d, s-off was not required. I was able to change cid with htcdev unlock only.

Gold card - is it possible on the One-X?

I downloaded an app called Goldcard Helper and I'd detects and generated a reversible hex Buber for the One-X virtual sdcard my question is would it work to take the next step and flash the resultant Goldcard img?

If you unlock your bootloader via HTC Dev this removes the CID and allows you to flash any RUU. Essentially exactly the same as the Goldcard tool does.

Mmmmm no i don't think that is the case, just look in the shipped ROM thread and see all the people with branded phones that can't flash different regions ruu.

Only speaking from experience. Mine was T-Mob branded, unlocked with HTCDev, CID showed as "None" then was able to flash the WWE RUU.

How did you know it was branded ? When it booted did have a tmobile logo ? Did you get the phone from T-Mobile or CPW ?

Interesting, don't suppose you know what software version you were on before do you ? 401 is the WWE, mine is 206.
I tried flashing the WWE on my o2 branded phone after I had relocked my boot loader but obviously didn't work....I'm just trying it now after re unlocking it

Rubbish As expected that didn't work for me
I wonder why yours worked...
Could you have a look ( or post ) the ruu logs from the folder in the root of c ( on your computer ) as mine show in the install failing due to cid not matchinf

I used CID getter on my T-Mobile and it told me that the CID was T-MOB005. Even though it was seemingly not there looking normally.

The fastboot command to query it doesn't work for some reason and will always return None even if there is a CID set.

fastboot shows None as the CID for my One X which is still S-ON LOCKED and I know it has a CID because its a Orange UK branded handset. It just doesn't work for some reason. It isn't related to the security mode or whether it is locked, unlocked or relocked.

S-ON is different. I have unlocked my bootloader and I still have S-ON. Whenever you unlock the bootloader your CID is gone. I have read many owners of the One X that has the same result when they unlock the bootloader.

I know. My post was a reply to monkeyphonix who said they couldn't see the CID normally but could see it with CID getter. It is because getting the CID using fastboot doesn't work for some reason.

No, my bootloader is still locked and i also can't get cid from FASTBOOT but CID Getter gives me HTC_001
My device is a European unlocked version purchased from Expansys.

Regardless of the 'None' response from an htcdev.com unlock, you can get the CID of your device by using the following command:
fastboot oem readcid
This will show the OEM CID number - which is the one that controls which RUU can be flashed to your phone.
Hope this helps someone.

Ahh. So that is how you get the CID via fastboot.
I knew what my CID was anyway but here is what it should look like:
fastboot oem readcid
...
(bootloader) DEBUG: cid: ORANG001
OKAY [ 0.051s]
finished. total time: 0.052s
Obviously, once we get S-OFF the following command will grant SuperCID status.
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
I'm waiting on a couple of cables to arrive that will allow me to try out the Gold Card approach used on the HTC Mango devices - hopefully the One X will go into USB host mode?

Htc dev open.... after screen all "locked"
Please test this project.
Thanks
Modified after the bootloader:
The service only for the first time the bootloader looks at why they would do differently in the face of inscriptions locked
From that one obtains the unlock.bin is not required to open the phone with him.
From this I conclude, if it requests the unlock code is not lost from the warranty
Admire the service only to the LOCKED appears.
I think this may be so correct.

It's possible only if you replace with the same amount of characters it "may" work as this was done on ps3 eboot images in the past.
Better to overwrite say 'RE' to 'UN' etc
(But... i could be wrong)

Any changes at all will break the signature, and the signature can not be recalculated without HTC's private key which we won't get.
This is unfortunately something that will only work once we actually have a complete S-OFF exploit.
Threads like this lead to bricked devices.
Please don't post "instructions" when you are really asking someone to test a theory for you. It confuses the noobs.
This will not work on a S-ON device.
But how do we re-lock the bootloader does that mean the private key can be found somewhere on the device? Or does this mean that the bootloader isn't being checked when we ota update the device?

It's pointless anyway, why go through all this to change from unlocked to relocked when you can use fastboot?

The whole thread is pointless. Even if someone managed to do it when they were htcdev.com unlocked HTC already has your serial number and looks it up once you put your phone in for repair. They'd know even if it still says LOCKED.

what happens when you ask for bootloader code (HTC DEV)
and do not use it for unlock.bin???
Warranty??
Onex is the original and will remain a separate unlock.bin to your code ....

Why would anyone go through all the trouble to go through HTCDev and then bottle out. That's their problem if they don't unlock it afterwards. Any hex editing on file's that are going to be flashed is dangerous especially with S-OFF. Luckily Hboot is protected to stop people from bricking their device with HTC dev. I have said all I want to say on this.

[Q] Convert asian htc one m8 to wwe?

hey, i'm trying to convert my htc one to wwe (x.x.401.x.x)
is this possible? i mean went s-off and unlocked bootloader
flashed a nandroid backup (with stock recovery) of 2.22.401.5
but i still cant get OTA updates (my original cid was HTC__044 and i changed to HTC__001)
once i loaded the sys and ran system update it said my system is modified
and cannot be updated.
is this even possible? i want to convert it to full stock just wwe because
my region doesnt get any OTAs....
thanks for the help!
This is out of the topic, but would you mind telling me which method you used to get your phone S-OFF?? What version were you on when you rooted? I'm trying to achieve what you're doing! It's really hard to have an Asian M8
Used sunshine to s-off with 2.22.707.4
