Root [guide]How to superCID

[scotty85]

please note:
*you DO need to be s-off for this to work. you cannot change the CID of an s-on device to superCID without a special,signed by htc file on the sd card

if you dont have adb set up,download this:
mini-adb.zip
it contains adb,fastboot and an md5sums utility

-extract it,place the unzipped folder on the root of your C drive

-open a cmd window(win 7,clock start button,type "command" or "cmd" in search box)

-change to mini-adb directory by typing,or copy/paste in the cmd window:
cd c:\mini-adb you should see your promt change to c:\mini-adb>

-place phone in charge only mode,plug in(im assuming you have rooted via revolutinary and have drivers.if not use revolutioary drivers)

-in cmd,type or copy/paste the bold faced code:
adb devices

-if you get your serial number back,boot to bootloader:
adb reboot bootloader

-check for connectivity
fastboot devices

-if you get a serial number back,check your cid first,in case you want to restore it later
fastboot getvar cid
or
fastboot getvar all (will return other variables as well )

-change CID
fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (eight ones)

-reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot-bootloader

-check CID again
fastboot getvar cid
or
fastboot getvar all

-verify CID=11111111

-reboot
fastboot reboot

heres what the above will look like in your cmd window(red are my inputs):

ahh,my apologies,this will not work with s-on. it is linked from the other post after the s-off,procedure,but i forgot to include above that s-off is a requirement.

if you want to stay s-on,youre stuck with using ruus and fimrware files that match your CID,or possibly using a gold card.

sorry for the confusion

I typed in fastboot oem writecid 11111111
and i was met with this error:

C:\Users\Francis.BORG-PC\tools>fastboot oem writecid 11111111
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.016s]

Any ideas?

 

[scotty85]

Make sure you are s off,and make sure you have the phone in fastboot,and not in hboot or the booted OS.

Also make sure you are in the directory containing the fastboot utility
