plug your phone to pc and open command prompt
point the command prompt to your folder where u keep adb and fastboot file..
1) "adb reboot bootloader"
2) "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" **eight '1'**
3) "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and see your cid change to 11111111

Changing ONLY CID will not get you the OTA updates. For OTA, you need to change your CID, MID, flash a RUU for that CID, then OTA update it. After updating, you can change your CID and MID back to whatever you want.

You need to change CID, but you also need to change MID or the OTA won't install. Changing CID and MID is still not enough, because OTA will check your software version first. For example, if you change your CID to HTC__001 and MID to the correct one (I dono what is MID for HTC__001), you still can't install the OTA cos your ROM is different version than HTC__001. You need to install HTC__001 RUU, then check for OTA. Only this way you can get OTA from other regions.
UK can get Romania OTA because both their ROM version is the same, so UK can just change CID, they don't need to do so many steps

Android 4.4 on Non Google Play editions

Hi. Am I able to flash 4.4 on a non Google Play handset? I have a One provided by EE in the UK
YES!
first; you must be s-off to do a proper full conversion and receive future OTA updates.
you'll want to change your CID to either super cid 11111111 or GOOGL001
once your s-off just do fastboot oem writecid GOOGL001
then you can simply flash the 4.4 conversion RUU and you'll be good to go.

[Q] HTC One HK ROM change to Europian

Hi all,
A few I bought an HTC One model, and faced that it is a HK model, with HK ROM but I want to use it Hungary. My question is that, can I switch from HK ROM to European ROM to get official OTA updates? I have googled it, but cannot find anything useful on this topic
My device is S-On
M7_UL PVT
cid: HTC__622
mid: PN0714000
main version: 2.24.708.4
hboot: 1.54.0000
radio: 4A.18.3250.15
os: 2.24.708.4
Thank you

S-OFF > Change CID & MID > Flash International RUU
Thank you,
What will be the impact on the device the changing of the cid and mid?
Exactly which RUU should I use, becuase I have found tons of these, and i really dont know which one to choose?
For example is RUU M7 UL JB 50 HTC Europe 1.28.401.7 Radio 4A.13.3231.27 10.31.1131.05 Release 310878 Signed OK for me?
it has different version numbers compared to what i have now

Use the 1.28.401.7 ruu this one here
changing mid and cid will allow you to run that ruu and receive ota, no others impact on the device.
unlock bootloader
install latest twrp recovery + root
s-off with rumrunner (might also require to flash a custom kernel like elementalx)
change cid
Code:
fastboot oem write cid HTC__001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
change mid using this tool to PN0710000
downgrade hboot to 1.44 version using this file provided by nkk71
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip [COLOR="Red"]<---- twice[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
run the ruu.exe
update phone via ota to latest version
flash custom recovery + root again if you need it (optional)
better to stay s-off
make sure you are not using windows 8.1 to do this. Also make sure you have latest android sdk installed on your computer and latest htc drivers.
if you are going to root again after the conversion, keep a copy of your stock recovery. You will need it to receive future ota

thanks,
I did it several times on my device. Got it new PN0711000 with that crappy Mexican .599 software. Converted to European .401 then converted to GPE .1700 then converted to dev .1540
much easier to do this now with the MID tool, was using eng hboot when I converted to European and gpe

[Q] Tmobile to GPE to Dev?

Originally a Tmobile HTC One
Currently:
S-Off
HBoot 1.54
unlocked bootloader
Stock GPE 4.4.2
I have AT&T and want sense 6, but I don't want the AT&T or Tmobile garbage that comes with it. Am I ok to change MID & CID to unlocked or dev and flash a vanilla RUU?
I tried searching for the answer, but wound up more confused. Just wanted to confirm this was ok. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can if you want to:
MID change tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535365
CID change using: fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 <- or whatever CID you choose, but exactly 8 characters
do NOT go S-On
or just use a custom ROM
but do NOT go S-On

+1 .. @nkk71 is ABSOLUTELY right about staying S-Off.

[Q] Flashing RUU images with an S-OFF and SIM unlocked device

Will flashing an RUU file in any way remove the S-OFF or SIM unlock I have on my M7? I also changed the CID to the GPe CID, will that change?

No RUU, will not change S-OFF or anything else.

You may need to change CID to whatever RUU you want to flash, if you get CID error.
Okay, I just updated the CID to the Super CID. Now can I flash any RUU without issues?

CID and MID must match your RUU version. If CID doesn't match, you'll not be able to flash the RUU. If CID is superCID, you'll be able to flash it but you'll not get ota update on some versions so better to use the real CID for that RUU.
If MID doesn't match, you'll be able to flash the RUU but you will not be able to install ota updates (you'll get the "variant system error")
So in example:
if you want to use a WWE ruu (x.xx.401.x) use CID HTC__001 and MID PN0710000
If you want to use a GPE RUU (x.xx.1700.x) use CID GOOGL01 and MID PN0712000
If you want to use a Dev edition ruu (x.xx.1540.x) use CID BS_US001 and MID PN0712000
I tried using the Dev edition Cid and mid numbers, and relocked the boot loader and still got a 155 error code, meaning the ruu didn't match the codes.
