Is it possible to revert Super-CID? To have device with "normal" CID. Is this would require a lot of work?
I am thinking about program with list of CIDs to lock.

Good idea.. i didnt flash my Vario II because I dont want to loose my warranty!
I even want to buy the program that can manage to recover the Original CID!
I hope someone can develope that piece of software, so i can flash my vario!!
Next version of the Hermes unlocker will allow you to select if you want to SIM-unlock, CID-unlock or both. I'm working on it, so please be patient
Going back to your original CID once you've already set it SuperCID can't be done easily, but if you _really_, _really_, _really_, need it because of warranty reasons, PM me and hopefully we can do anything.

I do belive that somehow HTC with upgrade to AKU3.x (I hope it is AKU3.x) will find way of locking SuperCID.
And with all information we have got - change of SPL and IPL to prevent Radio upgrade - I belive that it might be problem for all SuperCIDs.
Just want to be on safe side when it will happen.
pof: just think about way of restoring CID - whit is what my guts are saying.
All preproduction devices are SuperCID, and HTC will not lock it, it is the way they use to give the operators / manufacturers the ability to do some stuff we 'users' can not do
Don't worry about this... they can prevent the radio ROM or the bootloader to be flashed or downgraded, as they did with bootloader 1.09 and softbank's 1.14 radio and most probably will do it with newer radios with radio bootloader V1.008,... but SuperCID will stay there, they will not change your CID with a ROM upgrade
I might send my 8525 back to Cingular for a defective screen, do you guys think they'll deny my claim since I've Super-CID unlocked my phone??
i would just hard reset it and send it back.. how would they know??? plus ur not sayin its a software issue.. so i would think they wont be lookin' for that.. im pretty sure they would just make sure it wasnt in water.. and..it didnt look like a dog chewed it.. then they will probably load up software on it and exchange it to someone else... i would just do it.. but thats me

I know there is no free utility yet to CID unlock the G4 devices. Those of you that have unlocked your G4's at the IMEI-Check site http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php Is this just a SIM unlock or also a CID unlock?
If it is a CID unlock are you now able to make a ROM backup using the R2SD method shown in post 8 of this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258819&highlight=r2sd+backup
This is my main reason for wanting to CID unlock. I want to be able to make a full ROM backup with this method, before trying any new ROMs. My CID locked 9100 gives me this error "You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image" when I try a R2SD backup

So does this CID unlock the phone if it's a G4, you're a bit unclear?
IMEI check is SIM and CID unlocking. If you are gonna do it, see my post here.
yes... using the method availble at imei-check.co.uk will very much CID-unlock your device
NOTE: There's been a lot of posts regarding this subject but the fact of the matter is that you do in fact get your phone CID-unlocked at this website despite what you may have read in other threads...
What are the security or other implications of handing over my IMEI to them? Is that safe?

No worse than handing over your credit card info to them.
IMEI Check is a reputable company, and doing what they do, it is in their best interest to safeguard your information. Also, I've never seen any complaints against them that weren't about how much they charged for their service.
They DO intimate that they can re-lock your phone remotely if you back out on payment, but if you deal in good faith, I don't ever see that as a problem.
Of course, YMMV, but probably not.

Hi,
I've heard that my device will be CID locked again after applying one of the ROMs. Does this mean I have to CID unlock my device again??
Just to be sure I can restore my backup ;-)
I've already paid for the CID unlocking, but it seems that the extended rom specifically NEVER installs. This, to me, seems like its not unlocked if that isn't working, or at least not fully unlocked. I've run the unlocking tool (from imei-check) 3 times now, I believe, and installed many different ROMs.
How can you CHECK if the unlock worked on a G4?
moonrock You may check CID having started Prophet in mode bootloader and having started mtty142 and take command info 2 - You see your CID.
imei-check does not do unlocking ExtROM this absolutely area miscellaneous.

Ok, well I've just successfully patched a dll file... OEM_FlashDrv.dll specifically.
the good news is... SuperCID is now redundant
Patcher included below; this is tested and working on WM6; it *should* work on all other versions but I can't guarantee anything; it shouldn't brick your OS; also, if your ExtROM disappears after patching, then you need to install the privileged test developer certificate onto your phone and it'll work.
Open the Security Configuration Manager, connect your PDA, let it sync; first turn off security (Check your PDA for prompts) then in the Device menu, click the option to add developer certificates. after this completes, soft reset and you're done.
if you find this patcher for whatever reason doesn't make it writable then try the one from WM5 posted later in the thread.
also YOU MUST DEPLOY DEVELOPER CERTIFICATES VIA SECURITY CONFIGURATION MANAGER OR SDKCERTS.CAB
awesome news olipro! you're the best!
Fantastic work, now we just need a tool to re-CID our devices .
Thanks again for all your great work mate, very much appreciated!
Olipro said:

(I'm not saying which one for the reason that HTC might well be reading, and might not appreciate it if I mentioned this)
shortly I'll create a patch you can run on your PDA to enable your ExtROM to be writable too, but for now, just hold your horses.

I'd bet that there is a way to reverse pof's unlocker; if you're patching it one way, you've got to be able to patch it the other too.... Although, the reality is that at least here, with Cingular, there is NO WAY that they'll say, "Hey, you're SuperCID! No warranty for you!" Just play dumb and say, "I have NO IDEA how that happened!" Of course, if the REASON for the warranty is because you've toasted the device with a bad flash and didn't install oli's BL, then, I'm guessing, "I have no idea how that happened" isn't really going to cut it!

You could always say that you were flashing an official Cingular ROM when your computer BSOD'd or something to that effect. If it's completely dead, they can't really confirm or deny what you're telling them. But don't do that bcause it's not ethical, you know...

The really crappy part is that I just unlocked my parents new 8525 about a day or two before Oli's new BL was released But, it's all good anyways.. Besides, Cingular in the US does the warranty themselves, and all they do is mail you a replacement and you mail back your broken phone. I don't think they ever really check it out other than to look for the purple-sticker that shows them "water-damage".

The problem with Cingular is the employees in the store are stupid about such things generally they'll give you a new phone there but then cingular sends them out for refurbishing. The company that refurbishes them then goes through all sorts of things and if they find that you did indeed did do something like this, your next bill will be $450 higher. I had a friend that got hit with one of these. I don't think it's terribly likely you get caught for a SuperCID but realize you're playing russian roullete there!
Can't see my ExtRom after the patch
I installed the patch and cannot see the ExtROM. I did a search for "privileged test developer certificate" but could not find anything that made sense to me.
Can someone please direct me to the post that explains what this is and how to install it onto my phone?
Thanks
I've been trying to read up as much as I can thru the wiki and through the threads but it seems that theres so many technical posts but no posts covering simple questions, so I thought I'd post some here.
1) I first got my hermes (SPV m3100) in February and unlocked it with (I think) pofs tool at the time, it worked a treat, I think that the tool at the time made it super CID as well as unlocking it. Does this pretty much mean my warranty is void already?
If it does, can I revert back to normal CID? (My Bootloader is 1.04 if this helps)
2) The wiki goes a lot about upgrading but doesn't really cover downgrading - I see there is an Orange English rom - if things dont work properly and I want to revert to original, is this possible? Is there a way to revert back to a rom that will still be valid for warranty (for the UK at least)?
3) Will upgrading radio to latest version or bootloader to oli void warranty?
Sorry I know that a lot of these qs might seem simplistic and have been answered many times but I've been searching and it's quite difficult to just get simple answers!Thanks for your help.
I think that may be an Orange Romania Rom in the wiki.

v1 did not make your device SuperCID. Versions v2 and v2a made your device SuperCID without allowing you to choose, since v3 you could choose if you wanted to SuperCID or not.

Depending on your operator, some operators such as SoftBank will not exchange device under warranty if it is SuperCID, others like Cingular do not check it and exchange the device without problems.

If your device still has htc_boot 0107 and you _really_ need it for warranty reasons contact me. If you have ever flashed a radio with htc_boot 0108 then you can't revert back (at least we don't know how yet).

yes, just flash everything as you had in the original rom, this is not a problem if your original ROM is available as a shipped update, otherwise you'll have to do some work: take the parts that are the same from any other ROM (ipl, spl, splash screens, radio...) take the ExtROM from wiki or copy it from another device if it's not on wiki and reconstruct the OS from a dumped ROM if your shipped OS is not available, check this comment for more info.

Yes and no: Obviously if you return it for warranty with a radio or a bootloader that was not the one shipped on the phone or an official rom upgrade the operator will possibly deny the warranty for you, but if you are clever enough you will manage to downgrade that and leave it to the original versions you had on your phone.

Current unlocker version (v3a) does 4 things:
1. Change your SPL to HardSPL-1.40
2. Change your radio to patched-1.16
3. Remove operator SIM-Lock (Only if you run Herm_Unlock_v3.exe and select this option)
4. Change your CID to SuperCID (Only if you have htc_boot <= 0107 and run Herm_Unlock_v3.exe and select this option)
Out of this you can revert:
1. Flash any SPL version you want using SSPL
2. Change your radio to any version you want, and this is highly recommended as the patched 1.16 is quite an old radio.
3. No one has ever asked me to SIM-Lock again a device to any MSL code, but this is possible, so if you would ever need to SIM-Lock it feel free to PM me and tell me which MSL you want.
4. As I said earlier, set your CID back from a SuperCID is only possible if your htc_boot is 0107, should be possible on newer htc_boot but we don't know yet how.

What is done to make it SuperCID? I would like to set my CID back from a SuperCID, but my htc_boot is 0108. Is it not possible because the htc_boot 0108 cannot be downgraded, and the SuperCID resides within htc_boot? If this is the case, can I just upgrade htc_boot to erase the SuperCID?
@kuekpeow: read point 4 on the reply you quoted again..... changing the CID was only possible on htc_boot 0107, not possible on newer radio bootloaders... upgrading it does not help, and we don't know how to downgrade it yet.
Pof, I'd just like to thank you for your help in this thread! I've managed to successfully upgrade! Cheers!
I'm a real noob with this stuff, but I had to try WM6 Black to see if my issues with the Jasjam (screen locks completely - requiring the battery to be removed for over 10 mins), would be fixed. It is still locking after the upgrade and so I want to take the phone back to be repaired, but I'm worried that the repairers will try stating that the warranty is void because of me changing to WM6. When I try to load the original rom back on (latest supplied by I-Mate), the update starts and then my connection through Activesynch drops out (using USB). I have tried searching for information throughout the forum, but I find it all difficult to find anything on this issue. Can someone please help me with instructions for what to do.
The problem I have is that I bought the phone in Aus, but I am working in China, so I have to make sure everything is squared off before I send the phone back.
Cheers.

ASK pof.
our super hiro knows answer.
I am new here, but after reading a lot, is there still any good reason to cid-unlock a G4? I mean, I can upgrade the radio just fine, now I can even upgrade the OS, the only thing I can't upgrade is the boot (but that's ok, I got 2.xx from an official rom) and the extended rom (and I really can't understant why I need it, it just saves time, I can manually install the programs I need). Am I missing something here?
Yes,
One of the main reason, imei.uk is getting a huge loss, if you wanna give them bread you should unlock your CID
I'm new here too Paulo. I think I successfully unlocked the SID/CID using lokiwiz02b.
Do you know if there's a way to verify the CID is unlocked. I read about how to check the SID though.

Then leave, no offense.
If you don't want to mod it, then take what your provider gave you and be happy. If not, then download some commercial applications.
But if you want to improve your phone, and make it realize it's full potential, then you are gonna have to get in to some mods.
Sorry mate, I'm just fed up with all the "how do I make my phone neato keano" questions from people.
It takes some willingness to experiment, some computer know how, and 99 times out of 100 all will be well. (BTW, I'm the one out of the hundred, I totally bricked one).
Retail ROMS, no such thing, you can't buy em.
Heh, jeez man, you seem to make alot of assumptions based on no information.
I am very computer literate, and I am passing down my phone to somebody else who has no clue how to do this stuff and probably does not care for it either.
I had a cooked ROM on it, but went back to a retail SPL and installed the retail AT&T (Beta?) WM6 Rom on my 8525.
Seriously though, you shouldn't assume such things about people especially over the internet.
The key benefit to HardSPL is that it protects accidental overwrite of SPL & IPL. Basically, it protects against bricking the phone. If it were me, I would always keep HardSPL, even if I were running a retail ROM. It really only affords protection during flashing process, so if you are not going to flash anything, you really don't need it - kinda like wearing a condom whike you aren't having sex, I guess. However, unlike the condom example, when you do decide to flash again, you would have to put HardSPL on there, which is itself a flashing process, so you would be vulnerable.
Always practice safe flashing!
Thanks, Todd.
I think you already answered about this in the other thread...but not yet. I can't get a retail ROM to install without extracting it first..even on SPL-Retail
lol i remember when i got my x01ht... i wanted to keep it softbank and just have this sexy phone from japan.... I read japanese so that wouldnt have been a problem and I am moving back to japan next year, so I thought it was perfect.
I had to unlock it using a code (which worked after flashing to hardspl 1.10 and then back to hardspl 2.10), but softbank still had that stupid welcome.exe issue. So i flashed to HTC's WM6 wwe rom. No more 'neato keano' for me.
Then i discovered letsjapan and ime3_1qvga (whatever its called)... I can have my japanese functionality with an english rom!! w00t.
Then i discovered schaps... I am so far from neato keano... but still barely breaking the surface.
I know this story is pointless, but if anyone is reading this with the 'neato keano' idea... get real, try some stuff and you will never go back (unless for warranty purposes ).

Thanks, Todd.
I think you already answered about this in the other thread...but not yet. I can't get a retail ROM to install without extracting it first..even on SPL-Retail

Is your phone CID unlocked? Maybe you have a mismatched CID. HardSPL bypasses the CID check, retail does not.

Hi Todd,
my phone is unlocked via a code from AT&T, so I didn't use any of the tools found on this forum. So I think it is still SuperCIDed??
The updater just crashes, I posted a screenshot in the other thread. If I extract the directory and run the RUU by itself it flashes fine.
Maybe because I am trying to flash the same ROM again on top of the same one??

Well, the code almost certainly would not superCID your phone. Only remove the SIM lock. The RUU is checking the CID restriction on the phone and disallowing the flash. The only flash that would work without unpacking is the one intended for and released by your carrier - AT&T rom to AT&T rom, for example. As I mentioned, the reason unpacking works is because Oli's RUU bypasses the CID check. Does seem odd that the same ROM won't flash though...
