RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer | Full Application | Updated 10.09.13

regaw_leinad · Jul 21, 2012

Check Post #2 for plugins for your device!

Description
RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer is a utility for Windows that allows the
user to create a custom HTC firmware zip containing a custom bootloader image.

Your device has to be S-OFF for this to work!

If you are looking to create a plugin for your device so you can use this program go HERE

With this program, you are able to edit the *** UNLOCKED *** text on the top
to whatever you want it to say, change the S-OFF to S-ON, change the bootloader's version number,
update the bootloader's date and time stamp, and hide/customize the splash screen disclaimer.

Choosing the "Stock" look option automatically sets your banner to *** LOCKED ***,
changes S-OFF to S-ON and hides the HTC Development Splash Screen Disclaimer.

This program will NOT flash the zip for you, but it will allow you to save it to your computer to let you flash the zip yourself.
The process (flashing a new bootloader) is dangerous and may possibly brick your device if done incorrectly. You have been warned.

Just remember, anyone can make a plugin, and not everyone can be trusted.
Make SURE you only flash zips made from plugins by developers you trust!

Requirements
Windows w/ .NET 4.0 - Get .NET 4.0
HTC Device that is either S-OFF or allows flashing of unsigned hboot

Usage

Download the plugin for your device (See post #2 for list of plugins)
Place the plugin in the same directory as the 'RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer.exe' on your computer
- You can have as many plugins in the directory at the same time as you'd like
Run the 'RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer.exe'.
Begin customizing be choosing "Stock", or customize your own look and feel using the text box at the top and options below.
Press "Create Zip" to make the firmware zip

How To Flash A firmware zip (Devices with a removable sdcard)

Place the zip on the root of your external sdcard. (Copy it right onto your sdcard, not in any folder)
Reboot the phone into the bootloader by either:
- Powering off your phone completely, then hold Volume-Down and Power until the phone boots into the bootloader
- If you have the android sdk set up, type 'adb reboot-bootloader'
- Use my RegawMOD Rebooter
Then select the menu option "Bootloader" and press the power button.
- If you rebooted the manual way (Volume-Down + Power) You should already be at this menu
It will load the zip from your sdcard and ask you to accept the flash.
Press Volume Up to flash (On most devices, but could be a different button)
Once prompted, press Power to reboot (On most devices, but could be a different button)
Pro-Tip #1 (thanks dsEVOlve): Remove the firmware zip from your sdcard so it doesn't load next time you enter the bootloader.

How To Flash A firmware zip (Devices without a removable sdcard)

Reboot the phone into the bootloader by either:
- Powering off your phone completely, then hold Volume-Down and Power until the phone boots into the bootloader
- If you have the android sdk set up, type 'adb reboot-bootloader'
- Use my RegawMOD Rebooter
Connect your phone to the computer (if it isn't already) and issue the fastboot command
Code:
```
fastboot oem rebootRUU
```

To flash the zip, issue the fastboot command

Code:

fastboot flash zip <[SIZE=2]YourZipName>.zip[/SIZE]

The device's progress bar may not be complete, but when the fastboot command says it's complete, issue the fastboot command
Code:
```
fastboot reboot
```

So will using this new version/tool to create a new zip put the custom message back on the boot screen that disappeared after the 1.22 update? I have tried re-applying my zips from the original bootloader customizer for LTEvo after 1.22 and I only get the custom message when rebooting into Recovery. Just wondering if you found the fix for that yet.

Stock look option lists bootloader version as 1.12.2222 instead of 0000.

I think that change was in the kernel (or something else related to the boot.img), not the bootloader, so no, this won't "fix" that.

Also, great work on getting the purple banner background to display only behind actual banner characters even when there's less than 16 of them. Is it possible to get a post-OTA stock look option and a way to edit the entire HBOOT version number? Got a bit of a cognitive dissonance going between HBOOT 1.12.0000 / old build date and 1.05 radio.

EYESTRA1N · Jul 22, 2012

I made a .dll plugin file for the HTC Sensation with the help of cruzin_cloud. It is for the Sensation, Sensation XE, and Sensation 4g using Hboot 1.27.1100 and it will change the Hboot to 1.27.1111 unless you choose for it not to when making the .zip. I used the Hboot from unlimited.io. If the regaw_leinad updates his tool i will update the .dll file as needed. Thanks to regaw_leinad for this awesome tool. Also if regaw_leinad does not mind I will post a thread in the Sensation Android Development Forum for this.

Edit:
I thought I should also add that you have to have the 1.27.1100 Hboot version to use this. It is do th how the RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer works. I will make more but I will have yo flash different Hboots to my device to text so it might be a day or two befor I have a couple more ready

Thread in the Sensation Development forum.

Great work going to give it a try

Has anyone been able to create a profle for the HTC Incredible S (Vivo)

small bug found

There is a small bug in this DLL version of the customizer (as opposed to the Evo 4G LTE single EXE version in another thread)... if you pick the "stock" look and generate the PJ75IMG.zip file, you get a MessageBox informing you of the things that will change in the bootloader look. One of them is the hboot version will be set to "0000". However, with the latest LazyPanda hboot 1.12.2222 - this change does not take place when the zip is flashed; it remains 1.12.2222.

I noticed that when you click the stock radio button in the application, it defaults some of the checkboxes in the lower half and at the same time disables that group box. However, if you look closely, the boot "Version #" is not checked. Perhaps this is why the version number is not set. If I go the custom route and make the changes myself, it indeed changes the version number to "0000" when I put that in.

Anyone else noticing this behavior?

Yeah, I'll get to this in a bit. I am updating the plugin interface for the developers.

Is it trivial to update the first 3 digits of HBOOT version along with the last 4? Now that 1.19 is out, it would be nice to be able to display the latest version number to match the latest radios.

Also, is there a way to update the build date/time to something specific? I see the option in the Customizer menu, but no way to input the date/time.

If you just want an updated stock-looking HBOOT, I have that, and can post it.

You can update pretty much all that stuff with a simple hex editor.

Fair enough, I just really like the whole concept of this tool, so I was trying to coax Regaw_leinad out of hiding.

If you do have the latest Lazy Panda HBOOT 1.12.2222 (with fastboot flash enabled) edited to look like 1.19 (with correct spacing/purple background for "*** LOCKED ***"), I'd love that. BTW, any recommendations for a bug-free hex editor under Win7? Also, do you have a pic of a stock HBOOT 1.19 bootloader? The perfectionist in me wants to get the correct build date/time.

And the last question: is the displaying of CID when S-OFF the last thing that still needs to be fixed in order to have a completely stock-looking bootloader screen?

Here's a picture of my current bootloader:

Of course the date has been updated to match the new version - I am also a perfectionist

.

And yes, the only thing keeping this from looking exactly the same as stock is the CID line (which I assume, is by design).

Ah, nice to meet a fellow perfectionist. Thanks for the pic and the clarification, would appreciate a download link and a hex editor recommendation.

Attached is the fastboot-enabled HBOOT from the LazyPanda site, modded to appear as 1.19.0000, with build date updated, and red dev text removed.

As far as a hex editor goes, I use the Free Hex Editor Neo on Windows, and HexEditor on my device.

Much appreciated and thrice thanked.
