Power off, then power + down. To do the non computer way you need a SD Card.

Removed fastboot links since the files are the same.

Thanks to Captain_Throwback for the stock hboot.img
Thanks to XDA for the various HBOOT posts available that allowed me to make these edits.

**My first guide and contribution to XDA**

Edited:
Fixed attached images
Fixed fasboot .zips
fixed fastboot links
added no_red_text_s-off_unlocked
Removed fastboot links since the files are the same
Added external sdcard reference

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I have root access and have done the add fastboot method numerous times.. It went through the process and and seems like it works but whenever I reboot into recovery it still says S-on.

I would like to have S-Off, wondering if you could help me out?

Thanks for your indulgence!

You need to gain s-off before you can change hboot.

Check this thread out, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708527 you need to run firewater first to get s-off. You can't change your hboot until you run firewater.

Do you have any guide to obtain my hboot file and modify it to remove the red text? I have the At&t m8.

Nvm I did it!!!

 

[wirral59]

Does anybody know if there is anywhere I can remove my red text on HTC One M8 UL UK international Thanks

 

[Bachatu]

I don't have a guide with steps to extract the Hboot and to make the necessary hex edits, but I'm sure some one has one. If you post your hboot.img file I can remove the red text for you. It's a simple edit to make.

 

[wirral59]

My hboot file thankyou

Here is the edited hboot for your phone with the red develpoment text removed.

NOT FLASHABLE

To flash this zip through the bootloader or fastboot you will need the android-info.txt file for your phone and add it to this zip using 7zip or other similar program.

How did you remove the tampered flag from your phone without removing it from hboot?

Thanks, I wasnt aware of that method. I think you can do the following to flash it through fastboot without that file:

fastboot flash boot hboot_signedbyaa.img
fastboot reboot
