[Q] Do I need SuperCID?

Hello there
A few ago I used revone's guide in order to go S-OFF and it worked. I have a few questions regarding RUUs and OTAs:
1) If there's an RUU that is NOT for my device (say my device is international and the RUU is for Asia or Europe, for instance) and my device is S-OFF, can I still install it and would it work properly?
2) My CID is HTC__J15 and we always receive OTA updates LAST (at least that's how it was on my HTC One X), if I change the CID to HTC__001, for instance, which is Europe, will I be able to receive the updates just as they do over there? And if I do change the CID, which RUU should I install in order to be stock? And would I have to change to S-OFF and be unrooted?
3) If my device is S-OFF, CID HTC__001 and I am running TrickDroid 7.5.0 and I hear of an OTA update available for HTC__001, for instance 4.2.2 JellyBean, would I have to install stock ROM and stock recovery, which is basically what an RUU does?
4) What is the benefit of SuperCID? If you can install any RUU with being S-OFF only.
Thank you very much.

OTA update failing because of modified software?

Hey there
For some reason the OTA (1.29.401) failed and told me that I may be running modified software, however I tried the OTA update AFTER relocking the bootloader and flashing a RUU so then everything is stock! I am S-OFF, however, could that be the issue? The CID is HTC__001. Originally it was HTC__J15 but I changed it because J15 doesn't receive OTA updates except like three months after everyone else.
Thanks!

MID?

Not sure, but I think both you're CID and MID have to match what is in the OTA for it to work.

And you need stock recovery for OTAs to install.

I do have stock recovery, however I believe that yes, my CID and MID don't match since my device came with CID HTC__J15 and MID PN071100 whereas European devices come with HTC__001 and MID PN071000. That's definitely it, right?

sorry but did you fix this ?? I'm facing the same problem here!

You can change to whatever CID you have but you MUST have same software version as your CID to receive OTA...
That means:
fastboot getvar cid = adb shell getprop ro.cid

ok so i have one question, im on CID HTC__621 (CID for Taiwan) and MID PNO711000 (also for Taiwan/Asia region) , i'm planning to flash stock recovery, and relock my bootloader after installing Stock Taiwanese ROM, will i be able to get OTA's then? i downgraded my Hboot too , to match the stock rom base, will i get OTA's by relocking bootloader after installing stock rom? Please note that HTC__621 is not my original CID, my original was HTC__332, thanks

you don't need to relock bootloader as you S-OFF to receive/apply OTA but completely stock is a MUST including stock recovery

ok so the fact that HTC__621 isnt my ORIGINAL cid and that i changed to it from HTC__332 wont cause any trouble with the OTA and firmware, right?

bear in mind you need to downgradeto unlock bootloader again via revone, locked/unlocked bootloader check are skipped as you s-off, I'm receiving and applying OTA with unlocked bootloader without any problems

so you mean that if i have s off, i can receive OTA without locking bootloader?
EDIT: i am now on OS 2.24.709.1 with hboot 1.54, unlocked and s off , running stock taiwanese 4.2.2 ROM, i receive OTA update to 4.3 and it downloads fine too, but when i choose to install it , the phone boots up into recovery, the progress bar goes halfway and then i get a red exclamation mark icon and i have to restart my phone, can you tell me what i'm doing wrong?when i press power button and volume up and down simultaneously to get the menu in recovery, i see error "cannot mount sd card, fail 1 times" upto 4 times and also there is a Tamper flag on the recovery menu , my bootloader is unlocked but Tampered and i'm on hboot 1.54

did you run RUU? how come you have Tampered? Did you flash custom 2.24.709.1 firmware or original signed one? Can you attach updater-script from OTA (META-INF\com\google\android)

[Q] need help flashing stock

hey guys, please help me out.
yesterday I got a call from my family member that he did something wrong (switched off the phone while it was installing the OTA) and now his htc one (m7) is not starting, he has no idea about the android rooting and stuff nor do I, but he asked me to find out the solution.
so here is what I did apart from too much of reading the same info again n again (and I did all this things remotely with his help as my relative lives is in another city)
1. unlocked bootloader
2. flashed twrp (latest)
3. then I came across this guru reset file (a zip file) and flashed it, I used this file because I read RUU are the real stock files but to use them I need s-off which i didn't have. below is the detailed info of the file I flashed (copied from the webpage
"
Guru Reset M7 3.63.707.4
File Size: 1.1 GiB - Downloads: 33194
MD5: 6aba67e56889124c4ab5188bba15a569
Comments: Stock Asia/India (World Wide English) ROM 3.63.707.4 with graphical aroma installer. Includes the ability to flash the Stock Recovery and also Stock Radio.
Future OTA Updates will work when available.
modelid: PN0711000
modelid: PN0714000
cidnum: HTC__044
cidnum: HTC__038
"
I did not choose anything extra ordinary in aroma installer, just stock radio and recovery.
everything is working fine now with just one little problem, the mobile is not receiving OTA updates, it's showing an error about "variant version"
I read even more and came across the words , CID and MID
i checked them after flashing the new file, it's
MID - PN0711000
CID - HTC__038
I don't know if it changed automatically after flashing new rom but my MID and CID is matching the file detailed info of the zip i flashed, so please let me know what should I do now?
more details about the phone

Since the phone hboot version is 1.57, there is a mismatch between your rom (software) version and your firmware version. hboot 1.57 is for version 5.xx.xxx.x 6.xx.xxx.xx, so in your case you should flash the 5.12.707.104 reset rom not the 3.63.707.4.

Can you post the ouput of "fastboot getvar all" except the IMEI and SERIALNO?

The reset Rom is for an older Firmware version than your phone is running
The Rom is version is 3.xx.707.x but your actual firmware version is 5.xx.707.x or 6.xx.707.x as indicated by hboot 1.57. Try the reset Rom from this link

[Q] HTC One M7 Vodafone RUU

Hi,
I'm currently looking to turn my HTC One back to stock. It's unlocked but it had Vodafone UK branding and I can't seem to find the correct RUU in order to restore it to stock.
This is my CID and MID:
INFOmodelid: PN0710000
INFOcidnum: VODAP001
Firmware version is: 6.12.161.8
Hboot versionis: 1.57.0000
Could someone help me find the correct RUU? I would really appreciate it as I would like OTA updates ready for the official lollipop release coming in early 2015.
Thanks,
~ 5H1R42 ~

there is no 4.4.3 ruu, only older versions and will require s-off to be used.

I don't understand, you said that you have flashed an Asian RUU but according to your getvar, everything is 100% stock Vodaphone version. Your phone is s-on which prevent to flash the wrong RUU and there is no RUU for that version which make me beleive what you said at post #1 is incorrect.

So again, if you want to use a RUU (and there is none for your version) you will need S-OFF.
If you don't want to s-off and you want to be able to receive ota updates again then your only hope is a 6.12.161.8 nandroid backup, because there is no 6.12.161.8 RUU and afaik there is no x.xx.161.x RUU.

Right, I just found a 6.12.161.9 recovery here. If i flash this recovery on as an update, will i get OTA updates back and be back to normal?
