I watched the videos three times before pulling the trigger... Triple checked adb drivers... Unlocked, and root work but my boot says tampered above unlocked... Is everything good?

Everything works... I have 3g/4g data, voice, and text

Its what happens when you unlock the bootloader happens on all newer HTC devices

Tampered

Yeah, I noticed this on mine after rooting. I watched the video from DroidModderX and his did this as well. He does not mention it in the video instructions however I paused and looked closely and could see it on his phone as soon as he rooted. Seems to be perfectly normal, I guess HTC wants us "hackers" to have scarlet letter so to speak... :cyclops:

The tampered message is common knowledge for any newer HTC device. Once we obtain S-OFF we will be able to edit them back to normal. I went through this with my ReZound as well.

Yeah with my EVO LTE there was someone who came up with a bootloader editor that let you customize the bootloader to make it look like a stock bootloader screen so people couldnt tell it was unlocked lol

Similar thing happened previously with Samsung phones where it counted the number of times something was flashed through the bootloader to keep track of the same thing, but someone quickly figured out how to reset it. Let's just hope they don't start using those damn e-fuses like the Motorola phones do.

We need s-off to edit those things ...but for warranty purposes a ruu would remove the tampered but it would say relocked that's why s- off would be convenient to be able to have those say anything we want

Holy thread revival Batman!

Now you just need to install a custom ROM. Look in the development sections to find one that fits your needs. Most have fairly well written instructions, and there are plenty of guides there too. Just make sure you read plenty before you flash. Also, make sure you have backed up anything important before you flash, most ROMs require a full wipe. If you have more questions, you're best off making a new thread in the Q&A section so we can help you better.
