[how to] remove your "tampered" banner

[hidea]

correct,youll need a new hboot. its not something i personally do,or even understand. i like to proudly display my s off,unlocked bootloader,i dont understand the desire for it to show locked and s on. the usual argument is "needs to be stock" but a modified hboot can cause the next user issues down the road,and it is easy enuff to go back to 100% legitimate stock,IMO there is no excuse not to if you need to turn the phone or have warranty work done.

just my 2 cents

100% with you. But man… that red text, could use a bit of a whiteout. I like Nexus' simple 'unlock' image on boot.

Thanks and thanked Scotty, you the man!

My last hboot on the LTEvo said "Splendid" at the top. I couldn't resist.

I work for them and manufacturers occasionally give a phone to a store associate to use to push / demo their device.

I looked at mmcblk0p3 and there's no HTCL flag in it. They must've changed the location or they're doing it differently on the M8.

Yup.. Several of the partitions have moved(including this one ). There is a thread here in m8 general for lock/unlock as well add mid changes

These commands come in very handy and it's good to have an easy place for users to find them. Thanks for posting these @scotty1223.

I feel like there has to be a flag that controls the red dev text too. I bet beaups would know where that is.

As far as I know that involves hex editing a hboot to remove the red text. I don't think it is as simple as setting a flag.

 

[djkinetic]

the red text does involve hex editing the Hboot. See this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44137829&postcount=4

Be very careful if your attempting this on the m8. That is for the m7 and if you copy it exactly you could brick your device, be warned!
