I am a bit of a n00b, but whilst ill over the last few days I have had a happy time fiddling with my old GSM Hero on Orange UK. I had been running CyanogenMod 7.1 but have moved it to VanillaEclair 6.2 which is much much faster (though the DPI appears to hide some apps in the market; nothing sideloading can't fix). I had fun and games when I corrupted the recovery using ROM Manager to flash recovery, then forgot the right button to press on boot (Home) to get in to it, but I got there in the end.
Anyway...
My CID is ORANG001, and I wonder whether it is worth me trying to change it to Super CID (11111111). In my investigations I have managed to get ENG S-OFF, and fiddle about with fastboot.
I tried
but this failed ((bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!), I suspect because writecid is not in the list when I do fastboot oem h, but possibly there are other reasons I don't understand.
I am still on Orange UK, but I used not to be, and may not be in the future. Whilst I drive a Desire HD at the moment, I still occasionally use this phone.
WILL this phone, on VanillaEclair work if I stick in a Sim from another network?
and
If it won't, is there a way to change the CID?
(I found the unlocking on Orange UK thread, but not sure if that changes the CID, and it requires an unlock code, which I don't have).
