[Q] New HTC One - S-OFF!! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My friend purchased a new HTC One and it gave the following information on bootloader. I was surprised to see its S-OFF by default.
M7_UL PVT ship S-Off RH
CID - 111111111
HBOOT-1.54.0000
radio-4a.18.3250.15
open dsp - v31.120.274.0617
os-2.24.708.4
eMMC-boot 2048MB
and Build No is : 2.24.708.4 cl2111355 htc build
Can anyone please tell me if this is a debranded phone or anything.
If this is kept, would there be any issues for flashing custom ROMs? Like after S-off and Unlocked Bootloader. Would it still restrict that I would be able to flash only certain ROMs on it..
Please tell asap

If your phone is S-OFF you can flash a ruu with a locked/unlocked/relocked bootloader, with s-on you need a LOCKED bootloader to flash a ruu.
You can flash any ruu that match you CID (not a problem with supercid) and MID (MID can be changed easily with s-off).
Don't forget you will not receive ota updates with super cid.

So as u said, I have a SuperCID and a locked bootloader and S-OFF, I can flash any RUU (international, anything coz I wanna flash Indian RUU or atleast International) so will it work fine without bootloop etc?? ??

MID must match too
better to post a ''fastboot getvar all'' except imei/sn so we can tell if you can flash that ruu
also post a link to the ruu you want to flash.

and you can always pull mmcblk0p6 to find the true origins of your phone

How to do that? I dont know about that

you need a custom recovery, or a rooted ROM, do you have that?
then you open a shell and dd it out, for example:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6_bak.img
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p6_bak.img
^^ careful with "dd" commands, you don't want to write something to one of your partitions (with S-Off you can brick easily using this command)
in particular the "of=" (output file)... do not want to write something to one of your partitions!! (by mistake)
reading (and saving to /sdard) is perfectly safe, just not writing
this is what a p6 looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
the MID the system reads is at offset 0x4000, the others remain unchanged, and CID the system reads is in a completely different partition(s).... so from here you can pretty much get the all the info what your phone originally was.

I highly recommend you either change your MID and/or pull that partition i was talking about earlier... obviously the previous owner thought that there is something called SuperMID, which (in my very humble opinion) doesn't exist
SuperCID (CID = Carrier ID)... fine, you're just changing carrier ID
MID = model ID = hardware... not fine, thinking you can change it that easily and "get away with it", you cannot change the phone hardware simply by changing MID.

Thanks a lot for that information. My question was, Secondly, I need to know if this phone can be used for development purposes? Like.. In future if I unlock the bootloader by HTC Dev method, and as its S-OFF and SuperCID already present, will I be able to flash recovery and flash any Firmware present here in dev section? Or I need to correct the MID else it wouldnt allow flashing?

As long as you're S-Off you can unlock even without HTCdev.
and yes, you can flash pretty much anything for the m7_u or ul models (m7_u and ul software/firmware works for both models), the exceptions are CDMA phones (such as Sprint and Verizon), and Dual-SIM stuff.
As for the MID, (for firmware flashing) you may get MID mismatch if the android-info.txt doesn't contain "PN071****"
MIDs should be (as far as I'm aware):
PN0710000 -> international M7_UL
PN0711000 -> international M7_U
PN0712000 -> US/Canada M7_UL
PN0713000 -> US T-Mobile M7_UL
PN0714000 -> Asia M7_UL
To change your MID to one of the above (PN0710000 for example), you can use this tool: [TOOL] MID change without ENG HBOOT | Aroma GUI
which you use in a custom recovery.
And the most important part: do not go S-On!!!!!

Awesome! Thanks for the info.. One more small thing.. In the HTC help and error reporting, it said that this is a test device... Will that restrict flashing new FW and all?? Also will that error message disappear if I flash a different FW or RUU? I think it shud be because of OS, but I wanna know..

That message (test device and error reporting is always on) is due to the device being S-Off (on a stock ROM)... but who cares?
--1) Do you think HTC collects more information than google, your provider, etc
--2) how often does your phone crash? cause that's when it's supposed to send the information
--->> if you are the paranoid type, and think you need to go S-On (because it won't "allow" them to collect information), you're going to get into a lot of trouble if you don't know when and how to do it (which firmware, which ROM, which CID, which MID), and you'll be seriously stuck!!
And that message won't affect your ability to flash anything.

no problem, remember to:
1- stay s-off
2- flash things only for m7_u/ul models... if you are unsure, then better ask first!!
for example this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2626050 almost looks like for the HTC One, but it does say:
* Target device: HTC Droid DNA (PL8320000)
and it's in the:
forum!!!
you flash that, and you have yourself a serious problem!!
So stick to the correct forum, and make sure what you flash is m7_u/ul
Happy flashing

Oh that much I am used to.. I was in Incredible S Dev forum earlier and have efficiently used all ROMs starting from GB to KK.. Just that I didnt understand the concept of CID which was not there(or I didnt have to take a look at) but after the information got from you, I think I am sufficient info to start D
I am not a Noob at flashing and Rooting but some concepts change in a higher end phones and its always better to know stuffs indepth before trying it

[Solved] Back to stock

All right, here comes a noob question:
My HTC One is from Israel, and though I made a nandroid backup of my phone after I rooted it, I don't have one from before my rooting it. That said, my CID was HTC__K18...there is no RUU for that CID, so I used rumrunner to s-off my phone, changed my CID to HTC__01 and used the European RUU (the U not the UL because my phone is a U) to get %100 back to stock. The RUU that I flashed has a hboot of 1.44 and my stock was already a 1.54 and 4.2.2 (maybe 4.1.2?)...anyway after flashing the RUU, I'm not able to OTA and I really just want to get %100 stock...in a way that I'd be capable of receiving all the updates OTA and have the highest firmware/software. Thanks in advance!
Oh, and here's some of my info:
version-bootloader: 1.44.0000 (it shipped with 1.54 but I RUUed an older version)
version-baseband: 4A.14.3250.13
version-main: 1.29.401.2 (it shipped with 2.24.401.2)
version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF (used rumrunner to s-off hboot of 1.54)
product: m7_u
platform: HBOOT-8064
modelid: PN0711000
cidnum: HTC__001 (I changed the cid from HTC__k18)

Question: where do you want to go?
1- To an European stock model
2- To your version (I have a nandroid of 2.24.401.2 for a PN0711000, M7_U)

Whatever would give me OTA updates and allow me to be as stock as possible! Just out of curiosity, what would the benefits of each be? Thank you!

LOL, this just resulted in another question: why not use a custom ROM, they get updated way more frequently than OTAs? If you want "stock as possible" you can check out ARHD, it's very stock. (and since you're S-Off you can upgrade/downgrade anytime, including firmware!!)
As for benefits of the other two options:
1) I think HTC__001 (or was it Y13, not sure), are usually among the first WWE editions to get OTAs (not as fast as custom ROMs )
2) HTC_K18 would put you back to a state where you bought the phone.
It's all personal choice, eg I like stock but want it rooted so I'm currently running ARHD 13.3 (until I decide to upgrade), others like their Venom Tweaks or InsertCoin etc... and again for others they need to be unrooted because of some banking apps.
So give it a thought and let me know, which road you wanna take
PS: Hit the thanks button if I helped

Thank you for the quick reply!
Okay, so I'd like to go with the European road...as far as custom ROMs are concerned, I had ARHD, both GE and Sense, but I just want things to run smoothly and not worry about OTAs....I'd like to receive them as soon as they're available with the least amount of headache...
On that note, can I receive OTA updates directly from HTC while I'm s-off? Because currently I don't have that option...it doesn't even show that I have an update available.
Also, is your nandroid of 2.24.401.2 made with cid HTC__k18?
P.s. I don't even need/want to root the phone again...it's just too much for me. I'd like to get as stock as possible while keeping the options open (that's why I want to leave s-off).
Thank you again for your help! You're awesome!

Ok, European road
1- You've already changed your CID, you still need to change your MID: "fastboot oem writemid PN0710000"
(keep a record of your original CID, MID, and software/firmware version somewhere in case you ever need it)
2- remove tampered either using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
3- set your phone to LOCKED (not relocked) using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
4- then use the full European RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
you should keep S-Off and not go back S-On.
After installing the RUU you should immediately start receiving OTAs all the way up to 3.62
PS: remember the above procedure will wipe everything off your phone, so back up anything you may need first!!

You're awesome. However, I did all those steps except for the first step...when I go into recovery mode now, there's still the red lettering as well as when I go into "Tell HTC and error reporting" the red lettering says "This is a test device. Accordingly, to collect critical information about the device, Tell HTC is enabled and cannot be turned off regardless of device settings." Oh, and I'm not able to receive the OTAs.
Now, if I change the MID, do I need to do all the steps again or can I just do the first step now? Will that help get rid of the "test device" warnings that I have on the phone?
Oh, and I used this European one before (cause I have a U and not UL) http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_..._10-33-1150-01_release_311663_signed_2_4-exe/
Why would I use the UL one?

You won't get any OTAs because of your MID, change it, and see if you start getting the OTAs. M7_U and M7_UL share pretty much most of the software stuff, the hardware is different of course, but MID 0711 and CID HTC__001 won't get any OTAs.
The "Tell HTC and error reporting" red text is because you're S-Off, personally I wouldn't care. But if it bothers you A LOT, you'll need to go S-On again, and AT THIS TIME you should NOT!!! we can deal with that later.
Change MID, and confirm you are now getting OTAs
Again DO NOT GO S-ON, at least for the time being!!

Let's slow it down a little, if I understand correctly:
1- you are now unTAMPERED
2- you are now LOCKED, not RElocked or UNlocked

Before we go on messing with MID, can you just change CID to HTC__J15 (two underscores) and check for a software update, don't know the original 1.xx version, but I am sure that J15 PN0711 got the 2.24.401.2 and (possibly) 2.24.401.9.
Just check if it gives an update with HTC__J15, no need to download it!!

Hey, how are you today?
I'll be online later (around 5 or 6), but it looks like that RUU is fully compatible with ur original CID. So go ahead with your original CID, and get the OTAs. U should be able to get at least to 2.24.401.9, don't know if 3.62 is out for u yet.
Keep s-off in case we need to change something later.

Hey, no the RUU is not compatible with my original CID (HTC__K18) as there are no available upgrades after I change the CID...also the same is true when I change it to HTC__001, though it did work when you told me to update to J something or other...weird.

Well I guess you have 2 choices:
1- set CID to HTC__J15 -> a friend of mine has PN0711000 HTC__J15, it's basically the M7_U version and HTC__J15 is a nonbranded WWE edition but usually for the Middle East
2- set CID to HTC__001, set MID to PN0710000, and use this RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
by changing to MID PN0710000, it will make the software on your phone think it's a UL model, but since the hardware isn't there for LTE, it won't make any difference.
Step 1, is probably the easiest to do, so why not just set it to J15 and see how far the updates go. (ie if 3.62 is out for J15).
Hope that helps

same as you would on windows (or even linux), by opening a terminal, and typing:
fastboot getvar all
then copy/paste the output here (except IMEI and s/n).
you'll need to be quite comfortable with adb & fastboot commands to do this, so I recommend you to some research on what adb & fastboot are, how to install them on mac, and test them.
depending on your hboot version you may also need an Ubuntu Live USB
first get familiar with terms, such as bootloader, adb & fastboot, etc.
and once you're comfortable using them, we can proceed
Ok it's work hire is :

well, here are the steps:
1- unlock using HTCdev
2- get s-off using rumrunner (hopefully, cause you're on a 3.63 firmware, which may or may not work)
----> since you're on mac, you're going to need an Ubuntu Live USB, you can check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606577
---------> you may need to root your rom, and flash an unsecured kernel
3- if S-Off is achieved, you can continue either with mac or linux, you'll need to change CID to a .401. (WWE unbranded), depending on the language set you want, it can be any of the following:
Code:
HTC__001 --> HTC-WWE
HTC__016 --> VODA-Africa-South
HTC__032 --> HTC-EastEurope
HTC__102 --> HTC-GER
HTC__203 --> HTC-FRA
HTC__304 --> HTC-SPA
HTC__405 --> HTC-ITA
HTC__A07 --> HTC-Russia
HTC__E11 --> HTC-Dutch
HTC__J15 --> HTC-GCC
HTC__Y13 --> HTC-Nor
using:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 <- whatever CID you choose from the above
fastboot reboot-bootloader
4- because hboot is already 1.55, you'll need to downgrade that first (and separately): check post #1 in my guide for link and instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
5- use http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-zip/
to flash the full unbranded RUU to your phone, using ruu mode, check post #3 in my guide for fastboot commands (locking etc not needed unless you insist)
6- stay S-OFF!!!
Big Thankf for You I thinking that now this Steps help me and other user with looking how debranded HTC One .
Thansk
When I finish I let know that work or not
Is any chance that something may going wrong and I kill my phone? I have HTC One from long time but now I decidend to take and debranded phone, all what I doing in past this is unlock Bootloader.
P.S in step 4 its spouse to back to 1.44?

there's always "a chance" of bricking, but highly unlikely, other users & myself have done this quite a few times. S-Off is the key, and staying S-Off is your "get out of jail" card, just dont mess with wrong hboots, or try going S-On.
step 5 will get your phone entirely back to 1.xx, but you'll receive OTA updates back to 3.xx (and later to 4.xx)
Sorry I write there wrong step number I ask about step 4 and change Hboot , now I got 1.55 and You write in step 4 that I need change this That correct if yes then I need change on Hboot 1.44 ?
Thanks and sorry for stupid question :good:

yes, better to downgrade hboot first: I'm not sure it matters with the RUU.ZIP method, but with RUU.EXE (on Windows) if you are on hboot 1.55 the EXE will give an error (because of a patch in hboot 1.55)
even if it is not necessary for RUU.ZIP, there's no harm in downgrading hboot to 1.44 first, it'll only take a couple of seconds anyway, and then you can continue.
remember to flash TWICE in "fastboot oem rebootRUU" mode, as mentioned.
first get S-Off, then we can deal with the rest

No warning or anything, the only thing with S-Off, is that "HTC Error Reporting" will be turned on, and you cannot turn it off, but who cares

yes you can, BUT you have to do it at the right time; if your hboot is 1.55+ and you go from S-Off to S-On, after a few reboots a "tamper detected - rebooting" is likely to occur, and TAMPERED will be back in bootloader.
so you'll need to downgrade first, set s-on, and then take OTAs.
you can check my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082 on instruction of how to make your phone 100% "out of the box" including s-on, and when to do it.
PS: you can either rebrand your phone or keep it unbranded, that shouldnt matter, as far as i know.

[Q] Flashed Wrong RUU Trying to go back to Stock, Booloop and Recovery Won't Work

Hey guys and girls. A little backstory:
New to android
Use Cyanogenmod Installer
Get Purple Camera. Need to go back to stock.
Stumble upon guide by nkk71 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082
Botch last step
So I found an ruu with my CID and MID, but it was the GPE ruu not the ATT RUU! The ATT RUU zips don't list CID and MID so I assumed I should not use them and all that matters is matching those.
I had locked and went back to s-On when following the guide.... big mistake.
I've since unlocked and tried to root so that I could go back to S-Off.
Flashed several different correct recoveries and none will work. I am erasing the cache, but nothing works. I've tried the most recent versions of CWM and TWRP and can't get anywhere.
What should I try next?

Technically, you can, but shouldn't reboot the OS because of the OTA notification, which may make it tempting to take, but I'll try and rephrase the guide.

bootloader is unlocked, good... do NOT try and lock it!!
reflash TWRP and a custom ROM (you can try ARHD 31.6 or similar), and get S-OFF using rumrunner and/or firewater
i'm off for tonight, sorry about the mess
The stock att RUU's would almost certainly have the stock CWS_001 Cid. You just need one that is the same or postdated to your current hboot version since you are s-on now. Unfortunately, now that you are s-on, you will also need to relock the bootloader to flash an RUU. I would do that and then use firewater/rumrunner/latest s-off method to get s-off and unlock boot loader. Then you want to fix the "relocked" flag to "locked", and s-on again, and get it repaired.
I would try to get S-OFF where you are now.
I'll keep this here just in case
Otherwise, you can use the 3.xx RUU.EXE: http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
this will upgrade to hboot 1.55, and rumrunner and/or firewater should work on it.
(remember you need to relock bootloader for that to work with S-On, that's why i'm recommending to try where you are now, so you don't lock bootloader)
there is also a 4.xx RUU but do not use it, because it will upgrade your hboot to 1.56, making it even more difficult to S-OFF.
and once you're S-OFF, you should use this ruu.zip for my guide (which is for PN0712000 + CWS__001):

I was able to get TWRP (newest version) and ARHD (31.6) running. I then got S-OFF using Firewater. I'll use the RUU and follow the guide again.
I saw another one of your posts that suggested S-OFF may not effect warranty claims. Any further thought on that?
Thanks again for all your contributions.

It's really very country/carrier/people specific, in theory, S-Off shouldn't matter as some phones accidentally ship S-Off (ok, it's very very very rare), but S-Off shouldn't void warranty https://twitter.com/htc/status/377422743626842112
Then again, in practice some carriers/technicians may try to use any excuse to refuse warranty.

[Q] Htc M7 Soft Bricked Need Advice

Hi guys,
I have gone through the the forum and have read up on the issure, I have made some progress, I need some expert advice on the last few stages.
The Htc one M7 is soft bricked, i have unlocked the bootloder via the htc site, i know how to use ADB and fastboot command line. I have installed TWRP on the phone, now i can see my phone as a drive on my computer. the phone is still S-ON
What i want to achieve:
Put a stock firmware on the phone and thats that.
Not too keen on putting customs firmwares, if there is a Google Edition firmware, that will be a plus if not then the firmware with sense 5 or 6 etc.
The CID is 332 ( could this be an issue)
I just need the phone to work as normal with stock or google play edition stock.
Do i need to get s-on to S-off? whats the easiest way. what firmware would work for this cid-332, do i need to change my CID to get best firmware, these are the stages i need advice.
Thanks a lot guys.

you seem to have a carrier that has never released a RUU or any useful files really. Did you make a Nandroid backup of you stock software ?
If you have no backup the best you can do is just flash an international Rom that matches you firmware version like this one
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358543706
During install choose No to stock recovery and No to installing the Radio

Hi there,
I had no back up. So it is like bad luck with this cid 332.
Will this rom "Guru_Reset_M7_5.11.401.10-TeHashX.zip" work?
Thanks for reply.
thanks

you'll be able to flash it but you will never get ota uptades using this version because of your cid and mismatch between software version and firmware version.
Its not possible to return it to stock .599 so you should either s-off it and do a conversion to another version or use custom roms.

flash a close to stock rom and s-off using sunshine
once s-off, change you cid
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
then change your MID to PN0710000 using this tool
and finally, flash a x.xx.401.x RUU.
or if you prefer the dev edition version:
change cid to BS_US001
MID to PN0712000
and use the latest ruu 6.07.1540.2

[SOLVED] HTC One M7 U version hboot 1.44 blocked on JB: impossible to flash RUU

Hi to everybody, I've bought an used HTC One, I've do S-Off, root and everything else.
But after I discovered that it has only 16Gb and not 32Gb and it is the U version, so not LTE available.
So, acting like an idiot, I've tried to restock to send back the phone.
I don't know what kind of ancient Ruu I've flashed so hboot now is 1.44 with Android 4.1.2.
This are all the operations I've done to restock:
1. Change the CID into HTC__001
2. Locked the bootloader
3. Trying to flash PN07IMG_M7_U_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.102_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01D_release_421804_signed.zip, as I friend of mine has suggested
But it does not work, everytime I've tried to Flash I've get an error and the process hangs down.
I cannot find any other RUU for HTC One M7 U with KitKat, or any other to update the hboot...
What can I do now, I can only use the phone with JB?
This is a bootlader screen:

Your phone must be at least on a 6.xx.xxx.x firmware with hboot 1.57 to be able to flash the 7.xx.xxx.x RUU and you also must use the htc_fastboot.exe to flash lollipop RUU, not the normal fastboot. You can update the phone normally using ota update from your current version to 7.19.401.122 (settings --> about --> software update) or you'll have to update your firmware and then flash the lollipop RUU:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
htc_fastboot reboot
You don't need to lock the bootloader to flash a ruu when you have s-off
You can find the 7.19.401.102 ruu and htc_fastboot here.
don't forget you'll be prompted to update to 7.19.401.122 after flashing the ruu.
For the firmware update, I would simply use the 7.19.401.2 M7_UL firmware. This update is only required so the lollipop ruu can flash, this firmware will be replaced by the correct M7_U firmware when flashing the M7_U ruu anyway. To be able to flash it, open the zip and add your MID to the list in the android-info.txf file.
Btw next time keep posting in your original thread even if the situation has changed. You can edit your thread title and OP if required.

Hi thank you, but I cannot update from OTA, if I check I obtain "no update".
The phone is "locked", but it has still S-off, I was planning to flash the RUU and than S-on.
I've used the right htc_fastboot to flash the RUU...

I wouldn't recommend to go back s-on unless you are sending the phone for warranty. Are you planning to send back the phone or to use it?

No I want only to restock and sell it as I just said I was thinkink it was 32gb and Lte but it isn't.
It's a refurbished phone, so no warranty.
In your opionion is there nothing to do, I can only stay on Android 4.1.2?
Edit: Sorry now I've understood, no OTA update, but I could try to flash the firmware, I do it immeditely and than I'll update the status!
Thanks so much!

I've flashed the firmware you've suggested and than the RUU and FINALLY everything is gone right, now I am on Lollipop: so I offer you a beer by Paypal Donate!
Only two questions: Blinkfeed seems to be in Arabian, I can change it. But I do not understand why in languages I can find Italian (arabian), Italian (Egypt), but not Italian (Italy), it is a strange thing.
Second question: I think this is last update, but even if I am S-off can I obtain OTA update? If so I prefer to sell the phone as is, with S-off, I think it is a plus.
If not I'll get back to S-On, so the phone would be completely stock with OTA.
Thank you very much!!!

For languages availability, it all depend the CID and the version your are using. In case one of the language you need is not available, you can use an app like "morelocale" to enable it, don't no if it still working, I used this one back in 2012 on my Htc one x.
Last update for this version is 7.19.401.122. We might see another minor update soon as announced by Mo Versi on twitter to address the "stagefright" vulnerability. Yes you can still receive ota update with s-off, even with an unlocked bootloader. All you need is 100% stock rom and stock recovery. I would personally consider s-off as a plus if buying a phone as many other ppl.

Ok perfect! I let S-Off.
I've changed the cid from 1111111 to HTC__001 when I've started all the operation, in your opinion is there way to obtain italian (italy) flashing samething else?
It is not a problem for me, but there are lots of strange people on the world, so I think it could be a problem for some kind of buyer!
And now i will buy another htc one with the right features: I hope to be more lucky!

Sorry to disturb you again, but I would like to know if there is a solution, changing CID or samething else, for obtaining the righe Language Italian (Italy), if not I will close the phone in its pocket and than I'll try to sell it hoping the seller does not notice that!
