Do I need to change my cid if I want to flash roms? like now I have german CID: T-MOB101 should I change it to international one if I want to flash for example viperOne rom or other?
The CID only matters if you care about OTA's, which you never should anyways.
As previously answered, no need to change cid if all you want is to flash custom roms.
Just unlock bootloader with htcdev web site.
See android development forum for further guidelines

hi
want to debrand my fw to Europe stock or ww stock to get latest updates ect
im on cid -orang0001
fw- 1.28.61.7
any help please
S-off needed but not sure it will help, I heard something you will be not able change cid, but that might be just rumors

You cant debrand it unless your s-off, which you wont be on that cid.
But you can unlock the bootloader, flash cwm and install a generic rom, which is pretty much the same. You`ll have no orange crap on it. And you`ll have the latest updates, roms are updated within a few days, sometimes before.
If you want to use another sim other than orange, call orange and get the unlock code.
whats the best stock generic rom for htc one please

Hey everyone,
I am new to the HTC world, coming from Samsung, and have some questions. I can't seem to find the answer so I'm hoping someone here can help out.
I am currently S OFF and Bootloader unlocked. I am interested in changing my MID and CID so I can receive OTA updates faster. AT&T is way too slow.
From what I've read I need to change my MID and CID to flash a developer edition or international edition RUU.
My question comes in two parts:
1. Which CID is most fast at giving updates and
2. What is the cooresponding MID?
On a side note, if anyone knows, how do I find out which RUU to flash, generally from what I've read, the filename isn't very descriptive as to which CID it's for.
Thanks,
RPelham

Well I am not sure flashing the intl version will give you all the things you need to run on AT&Ts network but for the Dev Edition the CID is BS_US001 and the MID is PN0712000.

any suggestion??
thnx in advance
Go s-off, change your CID to 11111111 (superCID) or HTC__001 and MID to PN710000, that's the most supported combo.. And your phone will be international! You can then flash any RUU of your region and get rid of the o2 bloatware..

Hello dear forum members and helpers
Some time ago, I changed CID on my phone which was locked to O2, of course after unlocking bootloader and S-Off, and I converted my phone to google edition to taste KitKat. And since HTC is rolling out KitKat for unlocked version of HTC One, I would like to convert my phone to Unlocked International version to have KitKat and Sense.
How can I do that?
So my phone is S-Off, bootloader unlocked, and now my CID is GOOGL001. I can change it to superCID 11111111, but what to do next? Which RUU to install? I also need to have stock recovery for that version so I need firmware with bootloader in it?
I tried to find guide hot to convert to unlocked version but all I find is how to convert to Google Edition.
Thank you all!

Hello.
So to get things right...
Was your device originally a GPe device? Or did you convert it over?

I converted it to GPE. It was from O2 network. Not it is bootloader unlocked, S-Off, CID GOOGL001. On android KitKat 4.4

Does it make a difference? I'm asking because I have an original GPE and was thinking of trying Sense too.

You can, as @ensarba mentioned the IR remote, and other various HTC exclusive features. You can just flash a ROM that has a Sense base, e.g. Viper ROM. But if you want a full conversion you'll have to have S-OFF.

Ok, so all you have to do is to download an appropriate RUU, I recommend the Developer Edition (Brightstar US) RUU, which also gets updates very quickly.
Make sure that your Model ID matches the required one for the Dev Edition RUU. I believe its the AT&T HTC One's Model ID should do. Then change your CID to BS_US001 and run the RUU!
Hope this helps!

I meant if it made a difference if it was converted to GPE or born GPE when talking about going to Sense, if the procedure is different for some reason.
i Own a unlocked and rooted sprint htc one. I am using it in India.
It currently runs on android 4.3
i wanted to convert my phone to international unlocked developer edition so that i receive updates fast.
Is there anybody over here who can guide me towards my goal by referencing to some step wise procedure or so...?
I'm on the Canadian variant, Telus. What forum section should I be in and is it safe to flash AT&T files as I remember with my S3 I could flash AT&T files even though I was Telus.

Telus M7 is a GSM variant (M7_UL) so you can flash every custom rom for (M7_UL) you find here in the GSM M7 forum. You can also flash roms for the M7_U variant but wouldn't recommend doing it as it will disable LTE.
I have flashed a lot of ROMs from this forum for my Rogers M7, which is basically the same as yours.

Which ROMs have you flashed?
I have flashed Skydragon Google Play Edition by Holy Angel. I also have flashed ROMs by artur0588 and Mike 1986. These are just a few that I have had great success with. There are so many good ones here.

If you have unlocked bootloader, s-off, cid 1111111, and twrp. You can flash and test any rom you like.

He doesn't need s-off nor supercid to flash any GSM roms.
An unlocked bootloader and the correct custom recovery version is all he need.
S-OFF is only needed if he want to convert its Telus phone to another Variant e.g Convert from official Telus software and firmware to official Rogers software and firmware or if he want to downgrade to an older version version.
@karmasblade
Telus M7 is M7_UL = the most common M7 model (GSM + LTE) that almost everyone have here. All roms made for GSM variant (M7_UL) will work on Telus M7. Just don't forget other requirements: some roms requires a specific custom recovery version to be flashed and also requires the latest firmware to be installed on your phone, in your case latest Telus Firmware is 7.17.661.7.
You can see what your firmware is by using this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Version-main string is your firmware version.
