I ask because my CID is cws_001 (I'm in the United States) and I haven't found any ROMs that support it. Are there just not any available for it?

cws__001 means that you are either AT&T or Telus . the CID itself is not that crucial but whats important is you know the difference between international and an AT&T/Telus phone. For example the international phone has more than 15 different CIDs but the ROMs are all the same. Its about the carrier OTA updates.
Anyway, if you are looking for roms, look for the AT&T/Telus versions , there are elegencia running somewhere around here and there is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098218 VIPER XL+
And there is someone importing CM10.1 for the AT&T/Telus variant. Look around in the android / original android developement section.
Best of luck ^^

HOW TO FLASH DIFFERENT REGION ROM ON T-MOBILE PROTECTED?
advice, please.
You CANNOT flash ANY stock rom from ANY other region onto your tmous.
If you do, it WILL permanently kill it.
Your only choices are the tmous stock roms, or find a tmous compatible custom rom that includes your region.
Search for a tmous compatible rom HERE

Stock ROMs from the HTC site or from a different carrier could brick your phone ...
Custom ROM is the best way to go ..
You will find TMO compatible ROMs in the TMO section, but there are quite a few that are TMO compatible that are NOT listed in the TMO section, one of the biggest things is to NEVER never never, and did I say NEVER , flash anything with a x.xx.51.x radio to a TMOUS, also I think there is a 2.05.50 radio that is just as bad.
So if you flash a radio just stay above 2.08.50.xx and you should be ok ...

No! You cannot exchange stock roms of an Indian based DX with a East European stock roms. The first error you will get is CID mismatch. You may know CID means country ID. As such the CID of Indian DX is HTC__038 and that of East European varies. Most likely HTC__040 etc.
Still a lot needs to be done on the DX, and the path to recovery, should anything goes wrong is not so smooth, as only official stock for East Europeans roms are only made available.
Thanks alot for quick answer. Ill forward it to friend with recommendation that his mum should at least learn basic english
Hello,
I'm quite new with android devices and have read several topics here, but still have some questions. So I do apologize if it's answered or explained already somewhere, but I haven't found it.
Let me first explain what my assumption was and what are now.
1. HTC kernel/update - So HTC is getting generic android from google and make and add their modifications.
- Maybe there are some difference in the ROMs and/or devises for different regions like Europe, Asia, America ... , but not sure if it's correct and why it is needed at all, unless it is something specific with network carriers
- I do not understand the reason to have a different ROM or OAU per network carrier unless that the update should be approved by the carrier /why needed/. If so, what about the countries and carriers not available on htcdev site, that means such operators and countries use generic regional like WWE Eastern Europe or EU, but who is approving them in that case
- currently there are quite big difference to updates and versions available for different regions and carrier operators
2. Is there any way to get stock/original ROMs
So till recently I believed there is a generic ROM and depending on your home network/operator/carrier you got OAU or not, but it turned out that is completely wrong. It seems the phone is preloaded with a specific ROM made for specific operator or more generic one like EU, and depending on those ROM you have particular update or not.
- still not sure what the reason for this is
3. What is the meaning of CID on particular ROM, isn't it just a simple configuration in a configuration file into ROM.
I thought if you have stock ROM with different CID inside than current one, you should be able to flash the phone with it and it should work. Possible issues should be only with network carrier , but all the rest should work, isn't that correct.
4. If you flash you phone would your IMEI and/or CID change or the CID is hw locked and not into ROM
5. Is there any way to change the CID
6. I've read a lot in the forum in regards to ROMs, but still not clear
- is there any really original stock ROMs
- why people having issues with stock ROM depending on their current CID, and the ROM is working with some and doesn't with others
- what is the problem with OAU after change of the ROM with stock one
7. Is it possible to make a image of my phones without rooting them
8. What's the problem to get the ROM from one phone and put it in another as both are original coming from HTC with devices
I do not want to root the device or put custom ROM for now, but interested in having original HTC ROM with different CID than the current one, and trying to understand the setup and how it is working and how can it be done.
I own two Desire X which happened to be with different ROMs and CIDs, one Orange CH, the other T-Mobile PL, so there are some difference, so I would prefer to have them both identical may be EU or Eastern Europe ROMs inside and have the corresponding OAU working .
appreciate you help.
Hii I would like to ask..as far I read from the custom rom thread.the base is from 1.17.404..European model international hox+...mine is Asian version 1.17.707.1 is it compatible. Or I have to get custom Rom base on my region...which is none so far...

For custom ROMs it's only important to know whether you have the AT&T or the International model. And I really think you have the International model.
The exact region, and/or CID and software number (e.g. x.xx.707.x for you) of your Phone is just important for official HTC Updates or RUUs.
So just use any custom ROM you want for the International model.
Will the radio works? Is the langguage complete...thx for the reply

yes, radio will work.
Its just the International software x.xx.401.x that is used for the custom ROMs, Radio can't be changed/stays the same after your ROM flashed since nearly no one has S-OFF at his device.
And I think all ROMs here are multilingual ones, so you can choose the language you want at first bootup with your new custom ROM

Hi all,
On the Note 2 they were able to flash 7105 rom, which is a LTE EU rom, on the AT&T version.
Don’t anyone thinks it will be able to do the same thing on the HTC One with the 801n and the AT&T version?
I'm brining this up just because of the updates and the bloat ware.
Thanks,

On the One XL, we've been able to flash ROMs with both European and Asian bases. The ROM base doesn't really matter as long as it's the same phone hardware.
You can as long as they have the same dev name. Easiest way to check is to look at hboot and see the name. Just know that flashing AT&T ROMs/801n ROMs will not unlock any new radio bands.
