[MOD] [HOW-TO] Remove Tampered from HBOOT && Red TXT on boot

DirtyDroidX · Apr 15, 2014

**** I take no credit for this all credit goes to @scotty123 . This was in the international section. I did not see this for ATT users posted.

If you have used firewater to obtain s-off and you still have the tampered text in HBOOT you can simply remove it by using adb or from terminal on your phone.

****Standard Disclaimer ****
As always XDA myself or @scotty123 are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device.

Let's begin shall we ��

## In a command prompt ##

1) adb devices

2) adb shell

3) su

4) echo -ne '\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=1 seek=5314564*

!!! Note !!!
Please for xxx sake make sure #4 is correct. Thermal nuclear war will break out if you mistyped!

5) adb reboot bootloader

6) Profit

This is not a support thread ,just a guide from the international section . Please see post below for any questions you may have.

Now if that red paragraph on boot bothers you, @santod040 (Santod Mods), has a zip to download.
*** YOU MUST BE S-OFF***
Head over to his thread to grab the appropriate zip file. Make sure you download the appropriate zip file and follow the directions to the letter!!!

Has anyone used this yet? Also, I'm assuming if I copy and paste your commands then there is no fear of mistyping?

Yes, just copy and paste. I've used it on 2 M8s with no problem.

Have you tried the hboot zips to remove the red warning label on the splash screen at boot?

No, it's extremely dangerous as you are modifying the bootloader through adb commands, not just a bootscreen image.

I did this a few days ago on my m8 , took 20 seconds to finish up.

I was referring to a boot animation or logo in a zip not what's in the OP. Using the dd comand should be done with extreme caution. I misread his question.

Using TWRP here, the zip fails to flash. S-OFF confirmed. Running Team Venom Viper on ATT.

You don't use recovery to flash this. You have to use fastboot to flash it. Read carefully on how to do it.

Haha, yeah that's what I get for ASSuming since it's a zip file and flashing in recovery. :cowboy:

Thanks, fastboot worked after RTFM. :laugh:

OP should modify his OP because he says "has a zip to flash in recovery".
