You can use tableView:willDisplayCell and tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath with the cell identifier to show/hide static tableview cells, but yo must implement heightForRowAtIndexPath referring to super, not to self. These two methods work fine for me:

(void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if ([cell.reuseIdentifier.description isEqualToString:@"cellCelda1"]) {
    [cell setHidden:YES];
    }
}

and

(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = [super tableView:tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    if ([cell.reuseIdentifier.description isEqualToString:@"cellCelda1"]) {
        return 0;
}
    return cell.frame.size.height;
}
