[Verizon HTC One (M8)] scotty1223:
if you had your phone s offed by a java card,a result of the diag file "s58 data clean" is a change of your MID(Model ID) to a superMID of sorts: 0P6B2****

this has an advantage of allowing htcdev unlock without changing cid,but with s off, the bootloader can easily be unlocked without htcdev,so that is not of much importance.

since we dont know for sure if any future activities(turning s on,accepting OTAs,etc) will be affected by a non stock MID,it may be worthwhile to return the MID to stock 0P6B20000 "just in case"

this thread is for the folks who wish to revert to stock MID. the method described here is not the only way to skin the cat,but as long as your careful the risk is very minimal, its quick and easy and doesnt require any hboot downgrades,eng hboot install,data loss,or having to run an ruu.

standard disclaimer:

use this information at your own risk. it has been tested,but copying the command incorrectly could have consequences. if you melt your phone into a smoldering little pile of aluminum goo,

its not my fault.

IF you are an advanced user with adb/fastboot set up and some basic knowlede of the cmd window,you can skip to #2

1)set up adb

-download this file

-install drivers: if you have htc sync installed,you should allready have drivers. if not,you can install htc sync,or install these modified htc drivers from revolutionary (driver mirror)

-unzip your miniadb_v1031.zip file. this is native funtionality in windows 7. you otherwise may need a utility such as "7-zip" to extract,or unzip it. place the

unzipped

folder onto the root of your C drive on your PC. root means the top level,not inside any folders. so just copy and paste,or drag and drop the folder onto C with everything else that is there. you may want to rename it to "miniadb_m7" since youll be putting some device specific files in here.

-open a command window. on windows 7,click the start bubble in the lower left and type "command" in the search box. xp i believe is similar or the same. doing this should open a small black command window.

-change to your miniadb_m7 directory. type the following at the prompt in your cmd window:

cd c:\miniadb_m7

your command promt should change to "c:miniadb_m7>" provided you: 1)unzipped the miniadb_v1031 zip file,and 2)put the folder on your c drive,and 3)entered the name of the folder correctly ("miniadb_m7" in this case)

-now make sure usb debugging is checked in developer options(you will need to turn it on first),and plug your phone into your PC with a usb cable

-make sure your phone is being recognized- type:

adb devices

if your drivers are installed correctly,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.

if you get your serial number back,then enter this command:

adb reboot bootloader

this should take your phone to the "fastboot" screen,wich is white with colored letters. this is one mode of your bootloaders interactive modes. at the top youll see fastboot devices as confirmation youre in fastboot.

now enter:

fastboot devices

again,this should return your phones serial number. you should hear the "found device" noises when you plug your phone in. if it starts installing drivers,wait for it to finish before typing the adb devices command.

if you get your serial number back,you can enter the following to boot back to the phones OS:

fastboot reboot

and now,youve installed adb/fastboot and tested youre phones drivers. if at either spot,you have trouble and dont get your serial number back,there is some sort of connection issue. use these steps to troubleshoot:

this process,in your cmd window,should look something like this:

2)restore your verizon MID

warning: *do

not

try and type the command. please

copy and paste it

enter the following:

adb shell

su (if needed to get a #)

[B]echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x32\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384[/B]

(the above is one big long command. make sure you copy it all,and dont get extra spaces when you paste it.)

exit

exit (<- only if needed to get back to your normal > prompt)

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot getvar mid (or getvar all)

verify 0P6B20000 for modelid

fastboot reboot

your command window should look like this:

c:\miniadb_m7>[COLOR="red"]adb shell[/COLOR]
