Hello!
So since I had a sensation before the Amaze, I remembered that once we got S-Off, a next step was to obtain SuperCID on the phone. Basically, having SuperCID allows you to flash any ROM, regardless of which carrier it is for. Pretty handy if you have your phone SIM unlocked and wanted to use your Amaze on Wind Mobile or something. Anyway, the steps are from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300) and original credit goes to "xl VipeR lx" for the Sensation write up.
The usual warning goes here. I'm not responsible for what you do, use this at your own risk!
Required - You MUST have your phone S-Off from Juopunutbear's method first! Go here for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611977
Also, if you've upgraded to ICS, the 1.93.0002 SHP Hboot is required to SuperCID!
--------------------------------------
ATTENTION:
It appears that the ICS update changes the firmware of the phone a bit. This means that using any bootloader other than SHP 1.93.0002 will remove your ability to write SuperCID to your device. This includes the ENG bootloader. It makes no different if you're locked/unlocked and S-OFF, the command doesn't work without being on the proper HBoot. Unfortunately, being on 1.93.0002 also removes your ability to flash partitions directly in Fastboot (ie. fastboot flash recovery, fastboot flash radio, etc) and you must revert to ENG 1.90.2005 in order to use fastboot flash commands.
--------------------------------------
The process is very simple and exactly the same as the Sensation and most S-Off HTC devices:
1. Command prompt (or terminal for linux) and type "cd" "followed by the path to your adb folder" (windows users can type "cd C:\adb")
2. Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure usb debugging is on settings)
3. Enter the command "adb devices". This is to confirm your phone is connected. (It should come back with list of devices attached and your serial number)
4. Enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader". (nothing further required device WILL reboot in bootloader)
IF it doesn't you can Manually put the phone in the bootloader/hboot mode
Navigate to fastboot by pressing volume down and pressing power button to select (power off > vol down + power on)
It will take you to the fastboot bootloader screen on your phone
Connect your phone via USB
Your Screen should now read fastboot USB
5. Enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"
6. Enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)
7. Enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]
8. Enter the command "fastboot reboot"
9. You can now flash any ROM you like.

To remove SuperCID and return to stock CID:

2. Enter the command "fastboot oem writecid __________" <--- Here you will put either T-MOB010 (T-Mobile), TELUS001 (Telus), GLOBA001 (Wind Mobile Canada)
3. Enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)
4. Enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID has changed]
5. Enter the command "fastboot reboot"
6. You are now back on stock CID (for your carrier)
****If you like the automated route, benjamminzIs has provided two batch files, one for SuperCID (for all devices) and one for reverting to stock (T-Mobile only). Place them in your SDK/tools folder and run them!****

If you are on another operator such as wind, you might want to do a "fastboot getvar cid" and take note of what your cid is, or even post it on here as a reference just in case anyone wants to revert.

That's okay, I'm just using your original batch files with a couple prompt edits, and bundling it with ADB. Should work fine for the majority of people. Otherwise, people can use the other method you have linked as far as automation goes. The manual commands will always work.

Yeah it's in the OP but basically it allows you to flash to any carrier's official ROM for the Amaze. So if you have a T-Mobile Amaze and you wanted to flash the RUU for Telus or Wind, you can with SuperCID.
In the past, the RUU has to be hacked to allow a flash on a non-carrier specific device, and this allows you to bypass that entirely.

Only other option would be to use someone else's htcdev account, they also send you the second portion of the instructions to unlock your bootloader via email. You have to use htcdev, if you don't have 1.5 you can use revolutionary but than you wouldn't need this thread

You're one of the lucky few. I've had to swap devices 4 times on this phone and 5 on my OG EVO. It's hit or miss really.
thanks really helped, now I can flash roms on my phone
Yeah I do consider myself lucky with all the stories I hear, I got my 3d third party though from a guy that had it for a while so hopefully it's safe to say I didn't get a dud, but yeah with all the phones I've had, I never once had to do a claim

SuperCID will allow ruu'ing back and forth from newer to older builds and vice versa.
ADDED- WILL NOT ALLOW FLASHING OF RUU WITH OLDER HBOOT VERSIONS.
Added- great explanation of supercid benefits http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548083
Please follow the instructions VERY carefully as any error in the process can and very easily WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. I am in no way recommending this procedure and am not responsible for any device damaged from the following guide.
It's not very difficult if you just follow instructions, so don't be discouraged from the warnings, just pay attention
Pre-requisites -
Rooted HTC EVO 4g LTE
Pc with working HTC drivers
Adb and general knowledge of use
Fastboot and general knowledge of
use.
USB debugging enabled
A hex editor on your pc for modifying the partition we are going to pull(HxD is free on cnet)
2ND WARNING-
This procedure will be modifying a partition and pushing it back to device. If modified incorrectly it WILL BRICK your device.
Plug device into pc and select charge only on the device
Open up your command prompt and cd to your folder with adb and fastboot.
Type -
adb shell
Su
You should now see
"[email protected]: #"
Next we are going to take a copy of partition and save to the external sdcard
Type -
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard2/mmcblk0p4
Hit enter, should get a readout of
2+0 records in
2+0 records out
You now have a copy of partition 4 saved on external sd.
Type - exit, then exit again and you should now be in your fastboot/adb dir. In your command prompt. Minimize the window don't close, we'll be right back.
Now mount your phone as disk drive and open your sdcard on your pc. You will see a file on it named mmcblk0p4. Copy and paste a copy to your pc desktop.
Once copied, right click and go to properties, and WRITE DOWN THE SIZE OF THE FILE,
Should be 1,024 bytes.
after we modify the partition the modified one must be IDENTICAL in size or there's 100% chance of brick when push it back to the device.
Now, open the file mmcblk0p4 in your hex editor
Scroll to offset 00000210, you will see
"...SPCS_001XXXX" X's being 4 numbers we arent going to touch.
ANOTHER WARNING-
Here's where you need to be extremely careful,
we are going to change
"SPCS_001" to. "11111111"
best way to do this is highlight ONLY "SPCS_001" then press "1" eight times, so your replacing 8 characters with eight 1's. Now the full line looks like
"...11111111xxxx".
Three dots before the "1" and four numbers after the last "1". Most likely being 9900.
ADDED- Pic of b4 and after hex edit
http://db.tt/ziScPZBl
Now go to >file>save as and name the file mmcblk0p4MOD and save it to desktop.
Open your external sdcard folder again on pc and put a copy of your new mmcblk0p4MOD in there. Right click it, properties and verify it is the same size as the original. Go back and mount phone as charge only.
14th WARNING:
Hope u followed closely, if you made a mistake here's where u brick!
Maximize your command prompt window from earlier and type-
adb shell
Su
You'll be back at the [email protected] command prompt
Type-
dd if=/sdcard2/mmcblk0p4MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Hit enter and you should get the same readout from before-
2+0 records in
2+0 records out
Your all done, now to confirm you have superCID type exit, then exit again then
Adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader type-
Fastboot oem readcid
Readout should say
INFOcid: 11111111
Confirmed, you were successful. You SHOULD now be able to run any ruu a available for the device, enjoy and don't forget to hit THANKS
Sorry if all the warnings are annoying but I don't want any "you bricked my phone, help!" Posts
So this would benefit those who took the OTA while they were S-on (on accident) and want to be S-off now?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I had 4 dots before the first 1
I haven't followed closely to the new ota problems, but if they can still root after the ota, then yes they should be able to ruu back to the previous firmware.
Good, Bad and EVO
As long as you replace the 8 characters with eight 1's you will be fine. will post a b4 and after pic of the hex edit in OP,
Pic Added!!
Good, Bad and EVO
This is fascinating. Thanks for bringing it to us, I'm sure this will help a couple people out.
This is interesting.
I wonder if this would allow me to RUU back to the 1.13 ROM? The error I got was due to the HBOOT version being too old. Would SuperCID somehow allow this?
I guess there's only one way to find out . . .
This should allow you to ruu, any firmware for the device

Looks like the 1.15 HBOOT is SuperCID-proof .
It's the same error I got when I tried to flash the PJ75IMG. The main version wasn't an issue, but the HBOOT version apparently prevents the RUU from running.
Dang, sorry its not letting you. Supercid let's all cid verifications pass allowing flashing of any firmware, but I guess if it has a older hboot, it kills the deal. Will edit op that it won't downgrade hboot versions.
Good, Bad and EVO
So if I understand this correctly since we took the ota and have the new hotboot with s-on we still screwed for now. has anyone tried to run the lazy panda after doing this on the post supercid current hotboot

Once again, this is why you NEVER accept an OTA while rooted or planning to root.

What is a CID?
CID lock (aka vendor lock): Carrier Id - put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them. Commonly used in the form `CID-Unlocking`. If you purchase your phone (example) from 3Mobile (3Mobile is the ‘carrier’), your phone will only accept 3Mobile ROMs (the carrier’s ROMs). If you want to flash ROMs from other carrier, you’ll need to CID-unlock your phone, so that your phone will accept other ROMs. All bootloaders (apart from HardSPL and SSPL) will only allow a ROM with the correct CID to be flashed onto the device. A device which has been CID unlocked will have ‘SuperCID’ which allows ANY ROM to be loaded onto the device, SuperCID also unlocks the Ext_ROM and allows it to be mounted. Note: In general, the phrase ‘unlock your phone’ usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock.
What is Super CID?
SuperCID : by CID unlocking your device the value of the CID is changed to SuperCID . This allows the flashing of ANY ROM/RUU to the device regardless of the carrier and also unlocks the read/write capability of the Ext_ROM.
How to use the script?

The revone method works flawlessly with the AT&T version, that's what I used. Didn't try the other method so I don't know but revone definitely works.

Here is a video tutorial. Its not the best video around as the guy was trying to do it for the first time as well but it will help you. Make sure you make the youtube video 720p or 1080p full screen otherwise you wont see sh*t. Do the same hing as he does and pause the video when you need to. If you have more question you can pm me.

Keep trying, the tutorial says if it doesn't go through reboot and keep trying. Worked for the 1st attempt for me but others had to try several times.

Hi all. I bought my Evo 3D phone from someone and the wifi is not working. Trying to turn it on just results in "Error". Apparently this is rooted and/or has custom firmware. The software is NegaLite BluROM with android 4.0.3. I was wondering if anyone could help a root/cfw newbie with step by step instructions on how to get wifi working again. My google research showed something about a Mobster ROM being the best firmware, but have no idea about anything.
i like negalite the best, but what release is it?
i also liked mobster lite and unsenseable.
negalite blurom cdma vm r115
try the official thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745093
i use jcfunk's fork, its more recent and you might even get something hot off the press if you check out his svn.
midnight rom deserves a mention:

i'm not sure where mobster went, i'll hunt a link down later if you need. same with unsenseable.

i never knew what s-off was. i rebooted into recovery and it turns out i have s-on. then i googled and found Unrevoked, but the download doesn't work.
Here I can quick fix your phone, download recovery on computer.
ReBoot phone into bootloader.
From computer,
fastboot boot recovery.img
This will upload recovery.img to phone, and boot recovery with write access to boot partition. Which HTC has locked, this is first method found to by pass. Other would be dumb-lock. But that's your wifi issue, because your still using stock kernel, but wifi drivers are built for my kernel
jcfunk said:

it just says Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader. those are my options i'm not sure what to do

Also, can use Flashify to install a boot.img but won't work with installer zip for my kernel, because boot.img is made during install.
May look like this, fastboot shows when usb is plugged in.

Home of the ORIGINAL hboot 1.50 'how to flash'
less than 48 hours after HTC released their web based unlocker, i walked a user thru the process below in public chat (the public Synergy Chat room) - two hours later some one posted it on XDA and claimed creait for it, even copied/pasted my spelling errors. when called out with screen shots of the chat with timestamps, they still claimed credit. - this is the ORIGINAL.
This is a cleaned up and detailed version of the chat, I included it as 2nd post to my roms and always posted it when someone needed help. so a few weeks later, i finally decided to make a post here.
---
so, you unlocked using HTC's unlocker located at HTCDEV.com
some background on this unlock method:
-when you unlock using HTC's unlock method, the boot partition is still read only, and you cant flash to it. (kernels and ramdisks go here - so no 2.3.3 rom will boot, and most 2.3.4 roms will not work correctly)
when you unlocked your bootloader using HTC's method, you should have downloaded a file that contained some program files, mainly fastboot.exe and adb.exe, as well as the device drivers you would have to install to unlock
- you will need these
to get around this problem HTC has created, we will be using the fastboot.exe program to force the ramdisk/kernel onto the phone. anytime you use fastboot to flash a partition, you risk bricking your phone, so please do this at your own risk.
I have walked several people thru this, and no one had any problems, but if something dont go right, or the connection between the pc and the phone gets interrupted, your phone may become bricked.
I am going to assume you know the basics of flashing a rom, and that you have either teamwin or clockwork's recover tool installed on your phone (and you know how to use them). if not please see series #3 below.
SERIES 1 - INSTALL A ROM AND RAMDISK/KERNEL
Step 1 - backup everything on your phone, nandroid backup
step 2 - if you want to flash the ext4 optimizer for /data, read the info and directions here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=6329
------>everything should be backed up now
Step 3 - flash Virus's superwipe tool.
Step 4 - flash the /data optimizer tool - the download can be found in the post linked in step 2
Step 5 - open the rom you downloaded using winrar, or 7zip, and copy the boot.img file somewhere (the same folder that contains the tools you used to unlock your phone would be a perfect place)
Step 6 - open a command prompt (or terminal window), and goto the window that contains the tools you used to unlock your boot loader
Step 7 - reboot your phone into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader)
Step 8 - from the command prompt enter the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then press [enter]
Step 9 - once complete, exit fastboot, and boot back into recovery
Step 10 - flash the rom's zip file using recovery
Step 11 - enjoy
SERIES 2 - INSTALL A RAMDISK/KERNEL (ROM ALREADY FLASHED)
*signs of a failed ramdisk flash include broken wifi, 4g, poor performance and just weirdness in general. the updater scripts used to install a rom will not flash ramdisk with S-ON.
Step 1 - open the rom you downloaded using winrar, or 7zip, and copy the boot.img file somewhere (the same folder that contains the tools you used to unlock your phone would be a perfect place)
Step 2 - open a command prompt (or terminal window), and goto the window that contains the tools you used to unlock your boot loader
Step 3 - reboot your phone into fastboot (abd reboot bootloader)
Step 4 - from the command prompt enter the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then press [enter]
Step 5 - reboot your phone and enjoy (fastboot reboot)
SERIES 3 - INSTALL A RECOVERY TOOL
*you may need to do this before each flash, some phones somehow break recovery after a rom is flashed, and recovery will not launch until re-flashed for some reason (Kathy.. )
Step 1 - download TeamWin's recovery here (IMG format) -> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24995663/recovery.img
Step 2 - copy this file to the same directory as your fastboot and adb files HTC had you download to unlock your phone.
Step 3 - goto your dos prompt (or terminal if on linux)
Step 4 - change directories to the folder your files are in (recovery.img and fastboot)
Step 5 - flash your recovery using the following command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Step 6 - reboot your phone (fastboot reboot)
*disclaimer - you do this at your own risk. as of yet, the processes listed above work 100% and not 1 failure has been reported. make sure your usb cable is good, and your pc has good power during any fastboot process. most of this comes from a chat i had in the synergy public/general chat room 2 hours prior to it being posted on XDA by others claiming credit. kangers goto hell.

Here is a quote from other site
I assume Series 3 is the part I need to follow? Do I do this during recovery mode or normal phone mode? Because I don't know the file directory of my phone

Yes, but post was very old, use recovery I posted. Also if you use command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
instead of
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It will load/run recovery from computer, then install kernel from recovery.

I've been trying to relock my bootloader all afternoon...
fastboot oem relock 1234567890987654
Why? I was on B121 with unlocked bootloader, TWRP and SU. My intention was to flash stock recovery, relock and update to B140.
After a lot of experimenting, flashing, re-flashing, wiping etc. I cannot relock the bootloader. Even with a complete system flash and wipe of data. It fails with
Code:
FAILED (remote: root type is risk)
Does anyone know if there's a tamper flag, or similar
EDIT - I sort of solved it myself in post #7

I think that the command is: fastboot oem lock.
from your description I don't see the rationale on locking bootloader. Be very careful, with unlocked bootloader you can make almost any mistake and find the solution but playing with locked bootloader is a totally different ball game.

Not on these. That the first thing I tried. That gives
Code:
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
Which is essentially "command not found", as you can pass it any garbage and that's what it gives back.
As I see it, you can't install updates with an unlocked bootloader (unless I'm wrong, or there is something desperately wrong with my phone). With no custom roms (at the moment) this is all we have
EDIT:
Looks like I was wrong about updates on unlocked bootloader. I went back to B100 (UK) then back up to B121

I haven't retried yet. I was still in my 14 day return period and was undecided if I was going to keep the phone
Questions:
What model of Huawei Honor 7 do you have? (Settings -> About Phone -> Model Number)
Have you tried it on B100?
Have you tried it on B140?
Have you tried "oem lock" instead of "oem relock"?
Note: Always mention your model number in your thread title and description. Not all different models behave the same and not all updates give the same error message.
Thank you for opening this thread. We hope to read your answers on the above questions to help you.

I have the EU Version PLK-L01 16GB
..and yes I had, see my second post - lock doesn't seem to be a valid Huawei boot-loader command.
I've had a busy and incredibly boring time trying to sort this out.. Somehow, I re-locked :victory:

Unfortunately from the point of view of returning the device to Huawei, Re-locked is not the same as Locked, but it's all I have found.
After TWRP format:
Code:
sudo fastboot oem relock 1111111111111111
...
[B][COLOR="Red"]FAILED (remote: images signature check fail)[/COLOR][/B]
finished. total time: 1.048s
After B100 Downgrade:
Code:
fastboot oem relock 1111111111111111
...
[B][COLOR="Red"]FAILED (remote: root type is risk)[/COLOR][/B]
finished. total time: 0.970s
I re-flashed the UserData image from B100, after booting up I got this:
After UserDate Wipe:
Code:
fastboot oem relock 1111111111111111
...
OKAY [ 1.985s]
finished. total time: 1.985s
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader) [COLOR="Green"]relocked[/COLOR]
OKAY [ 0.000s]
finished. total time: 0.000s
So basically, I re-locked with a completely fresh, untouched system and a "factory" wiped data partition.
Obviously I have unlocked again and gone back to B140. If someone else want to experiment, feel free to post your results. I'm done with this :silly:
Re-lock your bootloader successfully
Re-lock your Honor 7(PLK-L01)'s bootloader successfully
No matter on which version you are and on which recovery, follow the steps:
1. Extract the B100 "UPDATE.APP" using this tool. Credit goes to its maker. If you wanna make flashable zip from "UPDATE.APP" then use the attached "Profiles.xml" file for HuaweiUpdate Extractor, me and @kenshiwara has added Honor 7 in the list.
2. Now flash "boot.img", "recovery.img", "cache.img", "cust.img", "system.img", "userdata.img" from the extracted B100 "UPDATE.APP" by executing following commands in "Command Prompt"
Make sure you are in the same folder where all these files are then "Right click" inside the folder by holding down "Shift", then select "Open command window here".
For "boot.img"
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
For "recovery.img"
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
For "system.img"
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
For "cache.img"
Code:
fastboot flash cache cache.img
For "cust.img"
Code:
fastboot flash cust cust.img
For "userdata.img"
Code:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Now reboot your device by executing this command
Code:
fastboot reboot
3. Setup your device, then place B100's "UPDATE.APP" in your external SDCARD in "/dload" folder.
4. Now, switch off your device and press the three button combo to flash the B100 "UPDATE.APP", the three button combo is "Vol. Up", "Vol. Down" and "Power Button" press these three simultaneously to flash the B100 "UPDATE.APP".
5. After your device reboots and after you are done setting it up, go to "Settings > Backup & Reset", then select "Factory data reset", tick "Internal Storage" and press "Reset Phone".
6. Again after rebooting, switch off your device then by pressing "Vol. Down" button connect your device with PC.
7. Now, you'll be in "Fastboot&RescueMode" and your device status will be "Phone Unlocked".
8. Execute the following command to relock your device.
Code:
fastboot oem relock *16 digit unlock code*
9. Now, you'll see that your device status is changed to "Phone relocked".
So, you just relocked your Honor 7.
So basically what I said then

I think you just flashed "userdata.img" of B100 which is not good as it broke your "/userdata" partition, but yea basically that

i'm not well
my humble apologies @DigiGoon
I have try "fastboot oem relock *my code*" and it works. But i had changed nothing on my phone. it was just unlocked.
no root; no TWRP; no other updates
maybe this was the reason why.
I have unlocked my phone.
I'm now on B140.
With a unlocked phone, do I still get updates from Huawei anymore?
Hello,
i can`t relocked my phone.
FAILED (remote: root type is risk).
My Honor 7 has the Firmware B330.
