★ ☆ [MOD] Remove Red Text on Splash Screen | m8 hboots | ALL Variants | MM

Does the red development text on the splash screen bother you after unlocking your device?

If so, I have a modified hboot for you that takes care of it.
This was simply hex edited by me to remove the text from the screen, no other changes were made.
I have tested it and it is 100% proven to work without any side effects.

I originally did this for the Verizon HTC One and was asked to do it for the One Max, Butterfly S, and now the HTC One (m8).

FROM THIS >>>

TO THIS >>>

Let's get to it!
You must be S-Off to do this!

To Install:

Download your Modified hboot:

-No Red Text hboots-

International:WWE

International 2:GER

Asia: WWE

Asia: Taiwan

Asia: India

ATT:

Bell-Canada:

Telus-Canada:

Rogers:

Verizon:

Sprint:

Developer Edition:

T-Mobile:

T-Mobile Dutch:

ORANGE:

Entel Chile:

H3G:

Vodafone:

Ok, Now you have your hboot, proceed:

Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
fastboot flash zip filename_hboot.zip (this flashes the modified hboot zip file)

Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!
The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot!
The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:

fastboot reboot-bootloader (this reboots the device to bootloader)

That's it, you're done. You can now reboot and not see the red text anymore.

If you have any questions or issues, let me know.

FAQ:

Hmm. I find it weird that even when I do CD from the platform-tools folder, I cannot flash the HBOOT.
I keep getting the "cannot load hboot.zip" file. (I renamed to HBOOT.ZIP)
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

On Windows?
Windows by default, hides known file extensions. (.zip .txt .png .exe etc,..)
So you probably have the file actually named HBOOT.ZIP.zip
Try removing the visible .ZIP you have it named.
Then try the same command again.

Is there away of getting this working w/o a PC? Don't got a PC ATM and I hate the red text...

1.) Download your modified hboot
2.) Rename the file to 0P6BIMG.zip
3.) Put the renamed file on your external_SD (not internal)
4.) Boot into hboot, it should see the file and prompt you to update
5.) After you have updated your hboot, make sure to remove the 0P6BIMG.zip from your external_sd.
Or else it will see the file and prompt you to update, every time you reboot to bootloader/hboot.

BIG THANKS to Scotty123 for requesting me to do this for other devices...
So Thank him too!

Now for my RED TEXT:

Disclaimer

You are aware that writing to the security protected partitions increases your risk to lose the device exponentially.
You understand and agree that i cannot be held responsible for such or any other damages.
The flash process is theoretically safe and tested, however you are the brains behind the wheel and you are solely responsible for the execution of the process.
I will not accept any responsibility. The method itself is developed by Google and HTC, i only provide access and information to it and you execute it.

You understand that you should not do it if you are not willing to accept this risk.

If you plan on reverting to stock-relocked, for any reason:
You should follow the above steps first, but use your own Stock hboot instead. (can be found in your variants current firmware)
Do this before you relock the bootloader.

-FAUX LOCKED HBOOTS-
(not really Locked and S-on but appear that way)

Since I initially posted this for the Vzw One:
I had a couple requests for a modified hboot that shows the device as being Locked and S-On, while being completely unlocked and S-Off.
I went ahead and made that as per request and made it for the One Max and Butterfly S as well.
The process is the same as the one I wrote above, with the exception of the filename.
These also have the red text removed, like the No Red Text hboots above.

Faux Locked hboot:

International:WWE

International 2:GER

Asia: WWE

Bell-Canada:

Telus-Canada:

Rogers:

Sprint:

Enjoy and be careful!!

I'm assuming Rogers HTC One M8 (GSM) would require its own modified HBOOT?

I would think the Dev edition should work, if the CID is changed in the Android-info.txt.
But I can't test that or verify it, so you may wanna hold off.
What is your hboot version?
If someone can pull it/upload it for me, I'd be happy to modify it and add it.

I changed my device's CID to the SuperCID.

I'll try to pull the hboot off my device; but not really sure how to. I'm comfortable with terminal commands though!

Code:

adb shell

su (if you need to to get a #)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p11

That should pull the hboot an place it on your sd storage.
If that works for you, then you can upload it for me and I can modify it.
Or if there are any OTA zips around yet(don't think there are), they would also contain the hboot and the android-info.txt file.

Wonders_Never_Cease · Apr 8, 2014

Thank you for getting this done boss...

Worked perfect on my ATT M8, thank you!

ReppinFlorida · Apr 8, 2014

Worked like a dream on my AT&T M8 with super CID!

With the device in fastboot, USB Debugging enabled in the OS Dev options:

CID:

Code:

fastboot getvar cid

MID:

Code:

fastboot getvar mid

Mainver:

Should be visible as OS version in settings > about: and/or in hboot, it's the OS version.

OR:

Code:

fastboot getvar all

Should give you all of that info!

The hboots are done, just need that info for the included text file. :good:

1) CID: I forgot what the original Rogers M8 CID is; I changed it to SuperCID

2) MID: 0P6B16000
3) OS: OS-1.12.631.17

Although I'm technically I'm on 1.54.… (using Android Revolution HD)

Added both No Red Text and Faux Locked versions of Rogers m8 hboot to the OP! :good:
Let me know if there's any issue flashing it and I will fix it, but I don't think you'll have any issues.

All is well on this Rogers M8, using the FAUX file on the OP! Locked Bootloader, and S-ON. With SuperCID

.

MEGA work!

Will one of these work with the unlocked version?
