HTC One X How to Change CID flash a stock rom on branded device

S - OFF to unlock the bootloader , org says there are some common , some say different . Want to know what s the difference ? Someone unlock the bootloader first and then s - off there is also a distinguished without unlock the bootloader lgsg s - off ( with tutorial temproot first )

unlock bootloader = allow flashing via fastboot mode .
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - > inject recovery
fastboot flash boot boot.img - > inject ato boot images like the kernel called fastboot flash system system.img - > inject system image
S - OFF or we call security off , some require custom rom for S - OFF to install a ROM . Thing we can do if S - OFF

- Free riding down the firmware , from GB to ICS and then to GB again
- Change CID to superCID Number (1111111) , CID = Customer ID Number . ID device that attaches to us . Well Bill files that are available either on xda , another mirror contains a list of CID number , if the CID on the device we have in the bill so we can file reflashing to the stock rom with the bill , but if CID our device not listed in the list of files that are on the bill the flashing then it will fail . To be able to reflashing , the CID number in the device that it has to be changed , via fastboot command . To change this , SIZE S - OFF . One generation HTC and after that use the sense 4.x , there is no s - off . Well if there is an announcement to update the OS in other countries , not necessarily the same in our country . There is the question " why not just use the existing bill on xda ? " , She replied of course not be used for reasons CID number different .

- Flashing ( without PC : via bootloader mode , where the files are located in the P - _ - IMG.zip ) , could it be a recovery , radio or the whole firmware . - _ - It depends on the devices what , some PG58img.zip , some PC10IMG.zip , some PG86IMG.zip

- Replace HBOOT , with the command dd if = / ......... hboot it can go down or up . There are certain HBOOT which if replaced then they will become unlocked bootloader devices , such as Desire Z , Desire HD which unlock not pass htdev.com - Replace splash Lcd banality by writing htc white Lcd background.

- Replace kernel of CAN through recovery or 4ext recovery control application

- When changing the ROM , no boot.img file usually in the custom file romnya . In S - OFF state usually , when we flash the boot.img adherents in contact while still S - ON if we fit the flashing boot.img NOT TAXABLE . Therefore, it must be manually entered fastboot flash boot.img via home PC for TSB

S well - off and unlock the bootloader , the same thing is

- Easy to access root

- Can install a custom ROM , only in S - OFF it all in one with the kernel , in the BL unlock different maybe For HSL same procedure with S - OFF ( first flash kernels or boot.img via fastboot , new rom ) . Rada not feeling well past ganti2 mo rom dikit2 should open PC For flash boot.img first

- Can attach different way to recovery though , that s - off via the bootloader ( without PC ) , which unlock BL via fastboot mode ( with PC )

Prerequistes:
Unlock bootloader.
Rooted
Working Adb.
Hex editor.

1. Fire up your command prompt and go to the directory that you have ADB installed to. Type "adb shell" and hit enter.

2. Type "su" and hit enter. You now have root privileges.

3. Next type "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4" and hit enter. This will dump the partition to your sdcard.

4. Next type "exit", hit enter, type "exit", and hit enter again. This should take you back to a command prompt for your computer.

5. type "adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk0p4" and hit enter. NOTE THE SIZE OF THE FILE BEFORE THE NEXT STEP!

6. Open the file (mmcblk0p4) with your hex editor.

7. Look for offset 00000210 and you should see T-MOB005 with your IMEI number attached to it.
( MY CID WAS T-MOB005 YOUR MAT BE DIFFERENT)

8. Change T-MOB005 to HTC__001 and save the file as mmcblk0p4MOD. This will give you SuperCID as well but instead of HTC__001 you have to put 11111111.But I think supercid does not get OTA updates. So better stay with generic HTC cid.

MAKE SURE AT THIS POINT THAT THE FILE IS THE EXACT SIZE IT WAS BEFORE YOU HEX EDITED IT!

Remember change 8 numbers with 8 in your cid and do not delete the IMEI make sure you match it before going forward

9. Now go back to your command prompt and type "adb push mmcblk0p4MOD /sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD" and hit enter.

10. Type "adb shell" and hit enter then type "su" and hit enter again. This will put you back into the android shell and give you root privileges.

11. Type "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" and hit enter.
To test if it worked restart the phone into fastboot (type "adb reboot bootloader" and hit enter) and once the bootloader Lcd comes up type "fastboot oem readcid" and hit enter. It should read "HTC__001".
Now flash a stock recovery and stock boot. Relock your bootloader.
Run a stock rom. Just rember to unlock your boot loader again you will need to run fastboot oem get_identifier_token again submit to HTCdev and get a new file Do not use the previous one. Hope you have all the files need if not look on the other post or let me know will upload them.

Update Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 Using SLIM ICS Android 4 0 3 Custom ROM Firmware

SGS GT I9000 is capable of running the Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 but only if it is a custom ROM firmware, as Samsung announced last year that there won’t be any official ICS for one of their most popular devices. Some guys have managed to create a custom ROM ICS that can be easily applied on your SGS GT I9000. All the instructions that you need are listed in this tutorial guide.
The ‘SLIM ROM’ ICS for GT I9000 doesn’t come packed with that many features, but still it works and if you’re a fan of Android’s upcoming OS edition then you should install it on your device. There won’t be any official release of Android ICS for Galaxy S and this means that you’re only chance to experience some of its feature is to install such customized ROM firmware, despite the fact that some functions are limited or lacking completely.
To install the SLIM ICS Update on SGS GT I9000, it has to be rooted with the XXJVU firmware because otherwise the update cannot be applied successfully. Also, the only supported smartphone is the GT I9000 model, which means that if you’re model says I9000B or I9000T the instructions won’t work for them. The main feature that are also working are listed below:
  • it supports five languages: English US and English UK, French, Deutsch, Spanish and Italian.
  • Android Market 3.4.4 that can be upgraded to Google’s new Play Store.
  • Zeam Launcher
  • default Google applications are now stock
  • Team Hacksung Kernel
  • Bluetooth, GPS, 2G and 3G, Wi-Fi and Data are supported
  • supports USB and Wifi tethering
  • phone calling is supported, obviously.
There are numerous small applications, features and functions that are incorporated in the SLIM ICS custom ROM firmware and you will be able to use them after the update is complete. Before starting to apply this update you need to read the info listed below in order to prepare your device and computer for the installation of the OS on your device. Here’s what you need to do:
  • backup all the data that is currently stored on your phone, as that might get lost during the updating process
  • try and backup your SMS texts, contacts, call logs etc.
  • save all the APN and MMS settings so that after the update is complete you will be able to connect to the internet.
  • disable all firewalls and antivirus/  antimalware software that are currently enabled. This will prevent other software from interfering with the updating process.
  • make sure that you’re device is rooted and it runs the XXJVU base firmware.
  • enable USB debugging mode by going to Settings, then Applications, open Development and ticking the USB Debugging option.
  • charge the SGS GT I9000 at least until it reaches 80% so that it won’t switch off during the firmware update.
Now that you know all this, you can move to the first step of the tutorial guide.
How to update the Samsung Galaxy S with SLIM ROM Android 4.0.3 ICS custom ROM firmware:
  1. First thing that you need is the SLIM ROM pack for the ICS firmware. Click the link and wait until the download is complete.
  2. Now, connect your phone to your computer using the USB data cable. Move the zip you downloaded at step 1 to your phone’s internal/external SD Card. Place it outside of any directory.
  3. Disconnect the phone from your PC and then Power it OFF.
  4. Now you need to boot it into recovery mode. Do it by pressing the Volume Up Key and Menu button and then press the Power button.
  5. When in recovery mode you need to select ‘Wipe data/ factory reset’ and then ‘wipe cache partition’.
  6. After the cache has been wiped and the phone has been factory reset you have to select the option that says ‘install zip from sd card’. Now select ‘choose zip from sd card’ and then select the SLIM ROM ICS firmware zip that you moved there at step 2. Now your device will begin the updating process to Android ICS.
  7. When the update has been completed, your GT I9000 will either reboot or it will take you back to recovery mode display. In case you’re redirected to the recovery mode Lcd you will need to select the ‘+++Go Back+++’ option. Now select ‘reboot system now’ and the SGS GT I9000 will be rebooted.
  8. The device will power on and after the home Lcd appear you will need to power it OFF again and remove the battery. Put it back ON and then boot your phone in recovery mode again. Repeat the steps listed at step 5 and then reboot your device and wait until it loads the Galaxy S new custom ICS Lcd.
Now that you’ve completed all the steps above, the Galaxy S GT I9000 should feature the Android ICS Custom SLIM 4.0.3 Firmware. You’re free to customize its interface and install you’re favorite applications, games etc. Also, make sure to restore all the data you’ve previously backed up before the starting the updating process. For any questions please use the comments field.
In case the update wasn’t applied, then you must’ve done something wrong. You should repeat all the steps listed above and, this time try to read carefully every single step as previously you might have overlooked a step or two, which prevented the SLIM ROM update to install successfully.
