I am trying to do the red text fix and i keep getting "FAILED remote not allowed"

I followed the directions. I have hboot 1.14 and used the 1.14 download... am i missing something?

So I just did the long method to remove my tampered box(RUU and all). Following the instructions it took maybe 45min total, and most of that was the RUU. I also used the Regawmod program and the plugin the OP made to make a 'stealth' bootloader(it says Locked, S-ON, and no red text). I was going to include the hboot/bootloader image the program spit out for me in this post, but thought better of it. Instead I have a question to ask, would my Unlock_code.bin work on any OneX(L) that is super CID or is it only good for my device? I am asking because I am debating on making a zip for the OP to put in his post that will include the 2.20 RUU, my bootloader, the 2.3.1.0 twrp recovery image, and my unlock token(if it would work on any super CID phone that is S-OFF) if not that I will just provide the other stuff to be put in the 1st post at the OP's discretion.

I am just curious, what's the point of making a Stealth HBOOT? wouldn't you be proud of your S-OFF awesome phone? or do you stealth in other to possibly keep warranty? because I really don't get reasons for Stealth.

The unlock token will only work for your phone because when you generate the output for htcdev encrypted in there is your cid, imei and s/n.

If you use the Rogers 3.17 ruu you will have to downgrade your touchscreen to use aosp roms tho

Good to know. Fortunately, I used the very original RUU: PJ83IMG_Evita_UL_Rogers_WWE_1.73.631.1_Radio_0.16a.32.09.06_10.81.32.14L_release_254934_signed.zip

And now I am officially S-Off with no tampered/red text, and LOCKED status on AOKP 4.2.2. :)

Now I just have to figure out if it's worth flashing a new radio like 3.17...

If your phone is still under warrenty then you can put it back to stock

The thing is, I'm not sure I've heard of anyone losing warranty coverage because of unlocking. Lots of people have hard-bricked their phones by stupidly flashing the wrong rom and still gotten warranty replacements.

Stealth mode is a somewhat cool thing to have, but it's not really necessary IMO.

I agree. I went full custom on my bootloader :)

True.

It's not necessary, but I did it because I can Kinda like people like to climb stuff cause they're there.

Btw I used the 1.85 RUU and everything worked just fine.

    Remove Tampered Text!

    S-Off required
    This is quite a lengthy process but this will remove the tampered text competely and not leave just a blank space at the top, you will need adb, fastboot, 2.20 RUU, recovery img and your Unlock_code.bin, so here goes:

    First of all do a FULL backup in recovery (your phone will be wiped so dont miss doing this!)
    While your phone is doing that heave over here to download the 2.20 RUU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1814217
    When backup has completely reboot into fastboot
    do: fastboot oem lock
    Reboot into Bootloader
    Run the RUU downloaded earlier
    When it has finished do: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin (Dont panic if this fails, it failed for me all you need to do is go to HTCDev and unlock bootloader following the instructions)
    When that has completed go back into fastboot and flash your recovery back: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (twrp.img or whatever img your recovery is called)
    Once done enter recovery and restore the backup you made earlier
    After this you are all done for the main part but remember you flashed an RUU so everything an RUU flashes needs to be flashed back to what you want, this means reflash the HBoot, Splash image, radio and anything else that the RUU changes that you want to be different from the RUU
    Done! Enjoy no tampered text in Bootloader :D


    For those that want a quick easy flash with only red text removed please scroll down

    For One XL/Evita Only! Hboot only will be flashed. S-Off is required. This can be flashed on any HBoot and can be used to easily downgrade hboot.

    Can anyone work out what causes the loading bar to show or disappear?

    New method, customize your HBoot!

    Please note this method is currently untested (although I have hex compared the before and after hboots and all the changes seem 100% fine)

    I have made plug-ins for RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer

    RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer allows you to remove the red text or change it to something else, change s-off text to s-on, change the build date/time and change the *** Unlocked *** text

    Download the main app from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1786498

    Then download the plug-ins from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38216901&postcount=89

    Choose the plug-in dependant on what version of hboot you want

    Place the plug-in and RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer exe in the same directory and open the exe. Choose your options and create a zip and place that zip in your adb folder

    boot into bootloader and enter fastboot mode.
    do:
    fastboot oem rebootRUU
    fastboot flash zip PJ83IMG.zip (Or whatever you called the zip when you saved it)
    fastboot reboot

    Quick simple flash that only removes red text:

    Here it is for anyone that wants it:

    HBoot 1.09: http://d-h.st/bt9
    HBoot 1.14: http://d-h.st/pZ1
    HBoot 2.14: http://d-h.st/J1T
    HBoot 2.15: http://d-h.st/toS (Thanks to exad)
    HBoot 2.18: http://d-h.st/Tnu


    Make sure you have fastboot and adb installed
    Place downloaded file in same directory as fastboot and adb is installed
    boot into bootloader and enter fastboot mode.
    do:
    fastboot oem rebootRUU
    fastboot flash zip RemoveText-1.09.zip (for 2.14 version RemoveText-2.14.zip)
    fastboot reboot

    This simply mods the hboot to remove the red text



    Some people report issues with erase cache command, if you have the problem to fix simply go into recovery and wipe cache

    This has been flashed and confirmed 100% working but as always we need a disclaimer:
    I can not be held responsible for this zip please flash at your own risk!!

    Since we ripped the new 2.15 hboot from the European OTA, I thought I would create a no red text splash hboot for those who just want to remove the red splash, and a plugin for those who want to add some swag to their bootloader screen.

    I have already tested it myself.

    No red text hboot: http://d-h.st/toS
