Has this been tested, and if you dont mind could you post a pic of the hboot screen. Sorry for the scepticism but I was just talking this over with someone who had just recovered from a brick earlier today.

Yes, I will post screenshots in a moment, need to charge old phone.

The red text only zip is missing the .txt file needed to flash to right partition for both bootloader and fast boot version.

I dropped the img file into the zip for the masked hboot and it worked fine in case any one was wondering.

Any chance you could remove the tampered flag but still have it say soff, unlocked, and no red text?

I corrected zip, and changed the link in the OP. Can you try downloading again?
