[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Vodafone are giving away a £60 voucher when registering HTC Watch - HTC Watch Registration Website.

HTC watch allows you to buy/rent, download (@high speed) and watch movies to your phone.

BUT you are thinking my Sensation isn't VODAFONE Branded? so this surely will not work for me.

YOU ARE RIGHT IT WON'T!!

Because these voucher codes are specifically for devices with Vodafone CID. If you are not in the UK then you can still use the voucher IF someone in the UK who is a vodafone customer gets you a voucher.

BUT I'LL SHOW YOU HOW THE VOUCHER WILL WORK!

By Changing the CID to VODAFONE! (S-OFF Required to do this)

DISCLAIMER: Due to some Rules. This is for information purposes only lol. I did this as i originally had a Vodafone Sensation to begin with which HTC LOST and REPLACED with an unbranded handset (see here). So just getting back my rightful voucher i had. RECOMMENDED For VODAFONE CUSTOMERS WHO DEBRANDED THEIR DEVICE,(all your doing is restoring your CID, no law broken). For other devices if your not entitled to the voucher then do not read this thread. I do not encourage you to try this. lol ;)

JUST TO INFORM YOU: Changing the CID will not affect you in anyway. IT just means you will not get OTA's from your carrier if your on stock Rom.

And CID can always be changed back, but it makes no difference (especially on custom ROMS).

I have just changed from SUPER CID to VODAFONE CID on my unbranded sensation. IT Definitely WORKS!!!

With SUPER CID or any other CID It will tell you Voucher is not valid with this device. WITH VODA CID You can see the rewards here :)

To Get your Free £60 Voucher!

Step 1: Go to http://www.registration-htcwatch.com/ and fill it in to get your unique code. You must enter a UK Mobile number (you can enter any random 11 digit number beginning with "07", that's what i did as i do not like giving my number out, i now have 2 vouchers (By mistake) lol)

Enter your real email address as the voucher is emailed within minutes.

Step 2. Change CID to "VODAP001". Use the guide below if you are not sure how to do it. (See post 2 to find out what your Country CID is INCASE you overwrote yours when using SUPER CID)

Step 3. Enjoy your movies. You can change your CID back later if you wish.

CHANGE CID

same process as my Sensation S-off Guide

1. Download adb tools here if you dont have it : download for WINDOWS or download for LINUX or from the attachments below

2. On your pc click on your local disk C: Drive (or D: drive for some) (WINDOWS users: Start > My computer > Local Disk (C:))

3. Create a new folder called "adb" and extract the files from adb.zip into it. Make sure it doesn't create another folder in the adb folder when extracting

4. open command prompt (or terminal for linux) and type "cd" "followed by the path to your adb folder" (windows users can type "cd C:\adb")

5. Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure usb debugging is on setting)

6. enter the command "adb devices". This is to confirm your phone is connected. (It should come back with list of devices attached and your serial number)

7. enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader". (nothing further required device WILL reboot in bootloader)

IF it doesn't you can Manually put the phone in the bootloader/hboot mode

Navigate to fastboot by pressing volume down and pressing power button to select (power off > vol down + power on)

It will take you to the fastboot bootloader screen on your phone

Connect your phone via USB

Your Screen should now read fastboot USB

8. enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [This will confirm what your existing CID is. WRITE THIS DOWN]

9. enter the command "fastboot oem writecid VODAP001" (number Zero not letter "O")

10. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)

11. enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is VODAP001]

12. enter the command "fastboot reboot"

13. You can now use your free £60.00 worth of movies, just download them then change CID back if you want!

To change your CID Back, just follow the same process, but replace the VODAP001 with your CID you noted down earlier

so instead of fastboot oem writecid VODAP001

you enter fastboot oem writecid "YOUR CID"
