Hi
I had read many articles about how to flash stock Rom, It's confusing
How we choose the appropriate firmware :
1/MID and CID
2/MID, CID and main version (the same or higher)
3/MID, CID, main version (the same or higher) and the same basbande(Radio)
Thank you

I ran fastboot getvar cid and it returned a CID of HTC__039 but I can't find any other references to this CID anywhere online.
It's Australian unbranded stock.
Will this cause any issues flashing custom roms and recoverys?
Also will flashing custom roms affect the radio frequencies in any way? There is already a known issue with the UK version of the One not working on Australian Carriers 850mhz 3g band.
check if its U/UL, if its one of those, you can flash a international rom.
Flashing a rom does not affect the radio. You can flash a kernel from aroma if a rom supports it.

Hello,
I bought a new HTC One (M7) in Switzerland for a Thai friend. When I turn on the phone, I can select a language in the list of the pull-down menu. The Thai language is missing in this list and I would to add this language.
1. Can I get the Thai language if I flash the phone with a firmware using ODIN?
2.a Which firmware should I use to get the Thai language, and where to download it? I would like to use the HTC official firmware, this one pre-installed in HTC One sold in Thailand.
2.b Same question for the Samsung Galaxy S4.
3. If I understood the guide below, a hard-reset* will not reset the phone to the original HTC firmware pre-installed on the phone when I bought it. Isn't it?
* After flashing the phone with another firmware.

Thanks in advance and regards.
ODIN? Is not that for Samsung? Not working with HTC.
But flashing a different ROM will solve your issue.
Point 3 is correct.
Though i don't think that official firmware for a different region can be flashed without modifying a couple of things in the phone. AFAIK you need S-OFF because of the CID and change it to a different one than current or to SuperCID.
CID stands for Customer ID. HTC implemented this check to prevent flashing other region firmwares. For example, if you have a phone which CID belongs to Singapore, you normally can't update ROM from other region like EURO/USA/CHINA etc. You've to use same region firmware. Remeber that, SIMLOCK is not related to CID, if you sim unlock a phone still you may not be able to flash other region ROM. But unlocking tools like XTC, HXC etc does CID unlock too as well as SIM unlock. To Determine your phone's CID I've made a small script. Download getcid.rar from attachment, extract, connect the phone to Computer in Fastboot Mode, run getcid.bat. It'll show phone's current CID.

In my opinion it's better to unlock the phone, flash custom recovery and flash a stock custom ROM (official).
I think WWE ROMs have Thai (see screenshot), if I'm correct.
Inb4 "check your software number".. some developers has said to me it's just the software of the ROM you're using, not essentially the firmware.
Okay, let's assume it's true, but we can't flash unsigned or MID and CID mismatched firmware without s-off, right?
However, the fact is I'm using a 5.0.2 international version ROM on my originally at&t 4.4.2 s-on phone (build number 6.xx, don't remember) without any problem. And the build number now shows "7.19.401.2" without any firmware flashing.
So I considered software number != firmware number. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
Another method I found says to use "fastboot getvar all" and check "INFOversion-main". I checked, mine is just BLANK.
So, how I can find the firmware version, really?
Never mind, found a great explanation here!
