Hi, cause of some dead Pixels on my 4 Weeks old Swift I have to send it back.
To going back to Stock ROM from CM12.1, I extract the latest firmware and did

Code:

fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash abootbak emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1bak sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash tzbak tz.mbn
fastboot flash hyp hyp.mbn
fastboot flash hypbak hyp.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash rpmbak rpm.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot erase splash
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img

The Swift now is on the latest ROM, but I now have

Code:

C:\fastboot -i 0x2970 oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [  0.006s]
finished. total time: 0.007s

How can I set "Device tampered: true" back to "false"?

First you should've thought about that. Second it is possible but no guarantees. I did it using the method @FindYanot told me to do when my device was bricked and device tampered was false but becareful. My imei was damaged after that. I used QXDM to fix it.Might I ask why ? Are you sending it in for repairs or something??

Yes, cause of some dead Pixels on my 4 Weeks old Swift I have to send it back. But a damaged IMEI would be also a bad deal...

You don't need EFS Pro

If your device is rooted just get EFS Backup from playstore. Then open it and backup. Once that is done keep a copy of the backup on your PC. Well @FindYanots way helped me when I bricked my Swift and yours isn't bricked so I don't know how to help you unless it was bricked.

@cyaneo : did you manage to change it back to "false"?
There is one partition called oem (/dev/block/mmcblk0p19),
would it be possible and help to restore stock one with fastboot (or dd)?

Device Tampered: False

Use @FindYanot method in my thread about device bricked. It works like a charm. Erase all partitions via fastboot then the device will appear as HS USB QDloader and use QFil to fix and device tampered is gone
