[HTC EVO 3D] ReMyDiamond:
Hello everyone,

I wanted to go back to GB official to make the Official ICS update but i found that my CID is stuck to 0202. I tried to change it via fastboot but it didn't work.

I flashed a GB custom rom and flashed the radio of 1.20.401.8...but still my cid is 0202...and with CID GETTER, my CID is VODAP203.

So, how can I do to change the CID to HTC__203 (or whatever) and flash the official GB ?

I don't care if I lock my bootloader again and/or I lose my recovery and so on.

Please

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
What does adb shell getprop ro.cid say? or fastboot getvar cid?

You simply need to relock your bootloader, if it is unlocked via HTC unlock.

Then run the official RUU for your region.

Do you have s-off or htc unlock only?
[HTC EVO 3D] ReMyDiamond:
I have S-OFF, Revolutionary, hboot : 1.49.1107

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Connect the device in Android, enable usb debugging(Settings-->developer options-->USB debugging) then run the adb command,

adb shell getprop ro.cid

You can extract the rom.zip from the official GB RUU, and flash in bootloader.

The fastboot getvar cid does not give the proper cid most of the times, in fastboot you can use this command

fastboot oem readcid

this prints out the actual cid of your device.

fastboot oem writecid does change the cid, but you also need to change the software build number in the mmcblkp031 through a hex editor.

for simplicity, you can extract the rom.zip from an official GB RUU, flash it in bootloader, then run the RUU.

By this you will not lose S-OFF, you don't have to lock the bootloader in this way
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
Actually fastboot getvar cid gives the PROPER cid.

You don't need to hex edit anything. Just go for supercid this way:

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

then flash any gingerbread, you can also just run my tool (step3) and it will flash the unbranded ruu for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] ReMyDiamond:
It didn't work...

With the command fastboot oem readcid, it works :)

then i did fastboot oem writecid HTC__203, and actually it changed my CID.

With fastboot oem readcid it showed me HTC__203 but with fastboot getvar cid, still 0202.

However, with the app CID GETTER, i finally got HTC__203.

If I flash the officiel GB via bootloader by keeping my S-OFF and my root, Will I be able to make the update to ICS and still being S-OFF and rooted ?

thanks a lot man :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
why do you want to install the official update? Just flash a custom rom.

no you will not have s-off.

p.s. the cid that fastboot getvar shows, is the cid that matters, when you flash a RUU.
[HTC EVO 3D] ReMyDiamond:
because i'm gonna sell my phone. So I want to sell it as original. Just simple as that. I forgot to mention it :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
makes sense now ;)

after the ruu you have to do a command, to completely remove the S-OFF sign.

but first you have to run a ruu succesfully.
[HTC EVO 3D] ReMyDiamond:
Before running the GB RUU, i need to lock my bootloader ?
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Yes and no..

Yes you will be able to update to official ICS OTA..

No, you will not have root access(YOU SHOULD ROOT YOUR DEVICE AGAIN)

And I do not know what will happen after you update to official ICS OTA(Because they haven't released it in India).
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Not necessary... You can run the RUU without re-locking. But if you want to sell it, I guess you would want it to be in the original condition. So, you can follow my post on how to revert back on the first page.
[HTC EVO 3D] ReMyDiamond:
What's your command ?

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

when i do

fastboot oem lock

I got ...INFODevice was already locked!

but in my bootloader it still shows me REVOLUTIONARY ...

Do I make something wrong ?

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
S-OFF != Unlock ...

you just need to flash the RUU and then you will have to do this:

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader

BUT DON'T DO THIS BEFORE YOU FLASHED THE RUU
[HTC EVO 3D] ReMyDiamond:
tried to flash :RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.2_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203403_signed

But i got : ERROR 131 : invalid client id and i checked with CID GETTER : HTC__203...
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
You should read my posts... I said you have to do supercid 1 page back...

otherwise this won't work
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Flash the rom.zip from the same RUU in the bootloader.

You need to change the software build number in hex editor for the RUU to work.

It is easier to just flash the rom.zip and then run the RUU.

Even better way of doing it would be, to change the cid to one of the cid s listed in the rom.zip(androidinfo.txt).. You can follow the instructions on the first page.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
dude, this is just plain wrong. the rom.zip is the actual RUU. The ruu is just an interface that runs shell commands....

when you have S-OFF you don't need to change the software number, that's simply wrong.

The CID is the problem, which is not available in the ruu he has chosen.

Get the superCID as I described one page back and you are fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] ReMyDiamond:
Yep the cid is the problem.

I tried to supercid and i came up with VODAP203, i don't know why.

however, i'm flashing the RUU for Vodafone FR
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Yes, RUU is just an interface... but it also has some error handling and it checks the cid... but if you extract the rom.zip from RUU, you can simply flash it in bootloader without getting errors when you are S-OFF, It will update everything including Hboot, radio, recovery and all... So it is a very simplistic method. Flashing it in bootloader will skip ckecking the cid.. and if he wants, he can later change the cid to anything he wants, or to something that is in the Androidinfo.txt.

This process makes it very convenient and chances of bricking are much less.

And it is very noob friendly too.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
superCid is only shown via fastboot getvar cid.

dryanogesh:

the cid is checked in bootloader from the android-info.txt not while running the RUU.

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip rom.zip

that's all what happens when you run a ruu, the image itself checks wether it's correct or it isn't.

but yes, he can take the rom.zip and rename it to PG86IMG.zip

and also add your CID to the android-info.txt in the ROM.zip

then he can flash it from hboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
ARU wizard does more than just pass on these 2 commands..

Instead of tampering with the rom.zip, he can just peek into the androidinfo.txt and change to an appropriate cid and then flash it in bootloader. which will not tamper the signature(Flashing a signed rom is better because it also will minimize the errors).
[HTC EVO 3D] ReMyDiamond:
Ok guys :) Calme down lol

I finally managed to flash the proper RUU for my phone. Now my bootloader is relocked, hboot 1.49.0007 and i'm supercid :D
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Discussing opens up the windows to new ideas.. so it was just a discussion.... (I know, Flashmaniac would love to kick my ass... I don't mind healthy discussions)

Even though I am a practicing doctor, I have done some object oriented programming... and keep learning tech stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
Yes it reads the phones battery status and reboots into bootloader.

That's all, believe me.
[HTC EVO 3D] ReMyDiamond:
I flashed the ruu europe.

Now my bootloader shows me :

***RELOCKED***

SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.49.0018

RADIO-10.14.9020.06_M

eMMC-boot

Oct...

Being S-OFF and relocked, will i get the update for ICS via OTA ? Thanks again
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Yes, you will get the OTA, Now you can go back to S-ON by writing the secure flag 3

fastboot oem write secureflag 3

But I am not sure, you can do that once you have re-locked the bootloader, That should have been entered, before locking the bootloader.
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Okay dokey... Since I haven't tried to see the source code for that application, I will concede on this one.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
and you will never see it's source code since it's not open source.

the actuall programm is on the phone when the rom.zip is being flashed ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] ReMyDiamond:
So, flashmaniac, Can i do it ?
[HTC EVO 3D] iamaniff:
Hboot 1.53.0007
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
I had updated my Hboot to something similar, and was able to downgrade it... But I would not advice you to go ahead, As I do not know what the results will be.
[HTC EVO 3D] iamaniff:
So, any idea want flashing custom Rom with s-on unlock bootloader?
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
I am sorry, I do not understand what you mean.

Do you mean to ask, if you can flash a custom rom if you have unlocked the bootloader but still S-on, the answer then will be yes.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
yep, now it's safe. then it will show shipped s-on again :)
[HTC EVO 3D] iamaniff:
After upgrade hboot from hb 1.49.0011 to 1.53.0007, devices won't boot just restart 5 sec after flash boot.img with fastboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] ReMyDiamond:
Everything is gone well :D

Thank you very much.
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
If you haven't tried unlocking and all such stuff, go to HTC service center... Do not try to do it yourself.
[HTC EVO 3D] shez3d:
Has any one tried htcsupertool?

I have tried revolutionary but it is not working for Hboot 1.490012 any suggestion? way out?

what should i do to get root access?

unlookroot v2.3 doesn't work anymore for me

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
You should first flash a recovery image like 4EXT touch recovery or CWM recovery, then flash SuperSu by chainfire through recovery, then install busy box from play store.. done
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Try again... Remember to get the new beta unlock code.
[HTC EVO 3D] nyk2005:
after install cwm with this instructions:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.2-supersonic.img

fastboot reboot

my phone don't start in recovery mode

what could be wrong?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Dude, you have given a command to reboot... so obviously it will not reboot into recovery..

To boot into recovery, you have to power down the device, take out the battery, put it back, then press and hold the volume down key and press the power button for 2 seconds... do not lift your finger from volume key until you see the bootloader screen, now in the bootloader, you will see an option called recovery, navigate to that by pressing your volume keys and select it by pressing the power key.. now you will boot into recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] nyk2005:
i used wrong cmw, now it's boot in recovery, installed superSu, and mission completed: S-off, unlocked and rooted in 2 days :o
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Enjoy your freedom.

Evo 3d unlocked with hboot-1.53.0007 S-ON

Hello everyone,

I have unlocked the bootloader of my evo 3d (gsm)

I have followed this tutorial and I have CWM on my mobile now.

I also have flashed my mobile with the LeeDroid rom.

Only I have a problem right now, if i power my device on then shows it the HTC logo only then it restart (after 4-5 seconds)

Does anyone has an idea how I can fix my mobile???

If anything is not clear, please say it.

(Sorry for my bad English.)

Thanks too all of you.
[HTC EVO 3D] dryogeshd:
Extract the boot.img from leedroid's rom to the adb folder on your computer(C:\Android) then boot your device into bootloader(Volume down+power), connect the device by usb cable to your computer, then open the command prompt(Dos prompt), navigate to the adb folder(C:\Android), now enter this code,

fastboot flash boot boot.img

then

fastboot reboot

Done, Enjoy.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gameforce:

You lost my chance to find my original cid!!!!

For a sticky post at the top of the section you should have been more careful - now I cannot EVER get my original cid info back because you missed a vital instruction before changing the cid and then tell people to write it down after they've changed it.

You write in the 3rd post:

a. For unbranded devices.

Code:

fastboot oem writecid HTC__001

fastboot oem lock

fastboot oem reboot bootloader

Please note that in the cid there are 2 underscores before 001.

But later you say write down your original cid with a command that doesn't work! It should have said "fastboot getvar cid" NOT "fastboot oem getvar cid"

//to check the current cid//

C:\android>fastboot oem getvar cid

//to change the cid//

C:\android>fastboot oem writecid HTC__044

//You must enter your device cid which you wrote down before you changed it//

Even if it had worked you've told everyone to change their cid BEFORE writing their original cid down. HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO FIND MY ORIGINAL CID NOW?!

I'm trying to revert back to stock as i'm going to sell my HTC Evo 3D, but i'm a bit unsure of some things, i hope someone can help me out (:

I S-OFF'd my device using Revolutionary to start off with, so i've never had to go through HTC Dev (Just wanted to say that, if it makes any difference).

My current plan is to run the RUU on my rooted, S-OFF'd Evo 3D (which would delete all data and information on the phone)

That should bring the phone back to stock ROM and no root.

But will i still have S-OFF ?

If so, i guess doing "fastboot oem lock" and then "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" will put me back to S-ON ?

Should this work as i described, or am i planning on doing something wrong? (:

The RUU i found to match the baseband on my phone:

RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.exe

Just do the process as you have described, it will revert back to stock condition, another thing you can consider doing is, I have a stock evo 3d, we can exchange the phones, mine got the motherboard replaced, so now I am stuck without root, my phone is in perfect condition, so if your device is in good condition, I can exchange it.

thank you for the replay

but can it work over gsm network(sim) :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] redgrass83:
Can anyone help me, ive got an EVO 3d gsm s-on ,153.0007, it is rooted and unlocked and I am using the latest 4ext recovery. I am on stock 4.0.3 Rom. I cannot seem to successfully flash any other Rom. I get stuck at the white HTC screen and have to go back to ruu rogers and start all over every time. Unlocked using htcdev method. Is it absolutely necessary for.me to downgrade to 149.xxx to successfully flash another Rom? And if so what is the safest way for me to do so. ? Btw the cid is rogers001.

I'm just confused as I am led to believe that I'm able to flash successfully any Rom using the 4ext recovery, but the closest I've came is seeing the first opening screen animation of biparanoid and miui and then I get a complete reboot loop. Perhaps I am not using the 4ext recovery properly. Could someone.more familiar with HTC perhaps provide me with a detailed procedure to help me get off this limited stock Rom ? Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

U must flash boot.IMG or turn on smart flash in 4ext ! I hope it could help U

[HTC EVO 3D] redgrass83:
I have tried fastboot flash boot boot.IMG but this did not.seem to work at all. Like I said I have came closest using 4ext with smart flash enabled and that almost seemed to work. Maybe there's something I SHOULDN'T be wiping? I.would see the paranoid android eyeballs and the miui opening screen but then it reboots into a loop . I was so excited for a moment lol. Thank you very much though for your reply nimaol.. I think I might need a lesson in how exactly 4ext works as far as the boot section works. And perhaps how to use the backed up boot IMG to perhaps get it to boot. I'm so close. It almost boots completely. I soo want to flash cm10 or pa on this phone. Lol. Sorry for being a noob with HTC but it seems to be the trickiest phones I've ever ever dealt with. I would be forever in debt if an experienced HTC user could lay out the process in detail for me and.get me.a full boot. Lol.

Edit. I have just discovered the wire trick. Sounds great but I am a little leery on using it to s-off. Anyone have any success stories in using this method for me? And are the dangers great? Instructions seem a little unclear and stock ics sure beats a.brick. ;)

Edit x2: update , oh joy, I've successfully flashed cool ics using 4ext and the fastboot flash boot boot.img method. Hooray , thanks once again nimaol for making me try the fastboot method with an actual ics rom. It flashed flawlessly and now in running 1800+ CPU frequencies (temporarily of course) , now I've just to figure out why I'm not having success with biparanoid or the miui rom. I'm wondering if there is some process I'm missing to make the jump perhaps from ics to jellybean? I haven't tried yet but I have a feeling I would be able to flash any ics rom successfully but as stated I'm really looking to run cm10 or biparanoid, and perhaps the upcoming 4.2 updates. If anyone can see my problem in this endeavor I would certainly appreciate a little kick in the right direction. Lol. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the mods on cool ics but I'm really not a big fan of the whole sense GUI. Too busy for me.

Ps: as I look back I see these posts of mine are getting a bit lengthy, and if im offending anyone in this thread I'm truly sorry, just that I originally thought this was/is an s-off/on issue. The (evo crew) here seems very helpful though and I thank any and every one who might help me out on this project. Tks bros.

Once again thank you very very much nimaol for giving me some insightful/experienced guidance in this project as I am very "green" as to the whole htc protection scheme. Between s-on/s-off , unlocking boot loaders , rooting, fastboot flashing boot.img's and now downgrading hboots it is a little overwhelming especially considering there are several apparently different methods to do each of these procedures.
