This mod removes the red text from HBOOT with custom kernels.
It is a simple binary replacement of the text that would normally display with a long string of 0x20 (The character for spaces).
WARNING: THIS IS DANGEROUS, if your phone powers off while you are writing to the hboot, you CAN brick.
S-off, root, and busybox are required

SHA1: 8619b74b5f22459753498d89de38f47b23518f78
Installation (This can be done in normal boot mode, but booted to TWRP is a MUCH safer bet):
Code:
adb push hboot-no-red-text.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/hboot-no-red-text.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
reboot
will this be persistent between rom flashes? ie. a 1 time thing? I think it should since it is its own partition right?

Yes, it should be persistent unless for some insane reason you decide to flash a ROM with an HBOOT image built into it.

it would take an even more insane dev to make such a zip. I don't think I ever saw one. except maybe one time when one of the phones I was using needed firmware update to be compatible with the new android version, and the new roms included it. though it'd be safer to have it as a separate zip.
For some reason, it's giving me an error
Code:
/sbin/sh: su: not found
while booted into twrp recovery. It has no issue finding it while booted though. Don't want to mess around flashing this hboot without being in recovery. Any ideas?

OH no need to worry, you are already running as root in the recovery. You can skip the "su" step.

Hey, if I make a backup of my current hboot using dd, will I be able to restore that backup using dd if I ever need to go back to stock? Thanks!
Also, if any of y'all want the stock t-mobile hboot (3.16.0.0000) let me know, I'll upload it somewhere.

Getting stuck on the htc splash screen any time I try to install this...
I also am getting stuck at the HTC boot splash. I'm kind of new to the custom roms though.
I used fastboot and flashed the boot.img to the boot partition. Then took the /system and repackaged it into a yaffs2 image. Flashed the result to the system partition. Don't know if thats exactly what to do.

You just have to flash it in recovery. Nothing tricky or difficult like what the previous poster described. The instructions for flashing can be found in almost any ROM thread.

But if you are looking to go stock you might peruse this thread.
YOU MUST BE SOFF TO USE THIS MOD, IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THAT IS YOU DONT HAVE IT. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKS DUE TO YOUR NEGLIGENCE. Now lets continue.
You can find the hboot here to download: Download
Once you download this zip, extract all of its contents. You will need to verify the md5 of the mmcblk0p18 so be sure to pull the .md5 as well. Once you have the files, open the md5 in a text editor of choice. Then, put the mmcblk0p18 into your adb folder. If its in your path, I will make the assumption you can modify this to your needs. You will now need to use the code below. Be sure you are booted into android!
Code:
adb push mmcblk0p18 /sdcard/mmcblk0p18
adb shell
su
md5sum /sdcard/mmcblk0p18
#now check the output of this command with the md5 in the file you opened in notepad. If it DOES [U]NOT[/U] MATCH, [U][B]DO NOT[/B][/U] proceed
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p18 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
diff /sdcard/mmcblk0p18 /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
# IF THESE DIFFER DO NOT REBOOT, try the command again. If you are not S-OFF then you will see that the files WILL differ.
Now, you can reboot and the red warning text will be gone! Enjoy!
After you do this, it will look like this (Hboot will show 1.18.9999):
In addition, phone will no longer be recognized in fastboot mode on USB 3.0 ports

you didn't flash it on this phone, if you did you discovered something new.
there is a reason why all the splash screens tutorials are flashed in fastboot RUU (I did a lot of testing when I first made the splash screens.). It would be great though to be able to put on root of internal using the .zip, much easier and ppl won't need a CPU.
PH98IMG is for the Rezound also..? That phone had an SD-Card Slot..
This one doesn't, I tested every # for our phone on the internal and nothing, if you can get it that'd be great, but from what I've read and seen, it's not possible on a phone without an SD-Card Slot.

BoneStock S-Off Unlocked Verizon One
I'm writing this short little post to give an idea of a good starting point for the HTC One as it stands right now. There are a lot of threads and they get out-of-date quickly (just as this one will). I just picked-up my new HTC One on Tuesday of last week from a Verizon store. This just gives a fresh idea of what can be done to get started on it.
Obviously you're running these instructions at your own risk. I'm not responsible for you bricking or otherwise damaging your phone. Doing these things may (will) void your warranty and may prevent you from being able to return your phone. Run these things at your own risk.
AN IMPORTANT PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE: When you get your phone out-of-the-box, it's probably going to offer you an OTA update. I recommend that you do not accept an OTAs as this usually makes this process even harder than it has to be. Verizon hates having us enjoy our devices!
First, let me describe my goals here:
Unlock the bootloader and obtain S-OFF
Install a custom recovery (CWM)
Install a "cleaned-up" stock ROM (debloated but still a stock experience)
Get wireless tether working without jumping through tons of hoops.
I'll go through the list and just describe what I did:
Unlock the bootloader and obtain S-OFF
This was fairly straightforward. Rumrunner has an excellent package that does this very easily. I checked my phone's ROM version and saw that I was running 1.10.605.15. I grabbed the Rumrunner package from here for that level.
In looking over the requirements for Rumrunner, it wanted 32-bit Linux and I run 64-bit. The easiest way to solve this problem for me was to just boot to a Xubuntu 12.10 32-bit ISO that I had on my system. If you have it burned, just boot to it. If you don't (like me), use grub2 (if you have it) and boot the ISO directly. Either way, get yourself into a live environment.
Once the ISO was booted, I got it on the network and installed adb and fastboot from the Ubuntu repositories (after I did apt-get update, of course). Connect the phone via USB and enable USB debugging:
Go to Settings -> About -> Software Information -> More
Tap the Build number field 7 times
Back up to the Settings screen again and you'll now see Developer options
Enable USB Debugging under the developer options
Verify that you can see the device on your system using adb (this should result in a device being listed by serial number):
Code:
sudo adb devices
Follow these instructions for executing Rumrunner. It worked perfectly as described. Once complete, the phone was unlocked and S-OFF with a stock ROM.
Keep the live environment up as it will just make life easier to do the next steps.
Install a custom recovery (CWM)
I pretty much always use CWM if I can. I saw that there were no issues with doing that on this phone (like there are on other phones like the Rezound). I grabbed version 6.0.4.7 of CWM (non-touch) for the HTC One from here. If I recall correctly, the device is booted back into the stock ROM at this point. Make sure your device is still connected USB and has USB debugging enabled.
Reboot into the bootloader from the command prompt:
Code:
sudo adb reboot bootloader
Once the phone comes up, it should be at the Fastboot screen (it should actually show Fastboot USB). Verify that you can see your phone with fastboot (should get your device serial number again):
Code:
sudo fastboot devices
Now you can flash CWM recovery using this command from the directory where you stored the CWM file you downloaded (such as the one I provided a link to):
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-m7vzw.img
After the flash is successful, reboot back into the bootloader:
Code:
sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can choose BOOTLOADER and then RECOVERY to get access to CWM. If you really want to, you can take a backup of the stock ROM at this point. I did not because I thought it was a waste of space. I just booted back into the stock ROM and disabled USB debugging so I could stick a real ROM on the system.
Install a "cleaned-up" stock ROM (debloated but still a stock experience)
I really wanted to give this HTC Sense 5.0 a run. I've used Sense before and it wasn't awful. This seemed less annoying than previous versions (plus, there are some nice camera features which are important to me). For that reason, I selected the stock 2.10.605.1 rooted, deodexed, debloated ROM from this thread. I also opted to do the firmware upgrade at the same time, so I grabbed the firmware for the 2.10.605.1 as well.
The instructions in this thread are easy to follow so just use those. Just a note though: Flash the firmware and ROM at the same time if you're going to do firmware at all. Instructions are in the second post on that thread.
Once the ROM was up, I did my typical setup of accounts and such. The last thing I needed was Wireless Tether support.
Get wireless tether working without jumping through tons of hoops.
I don't particularly care how I get wireless tethering (infrastructure mode) as long as it works on my phone reliably. I first tried the stock tethering as this sometimes works because the authors of "stock" ROMs sneak hacks into their ROMs. It did not work. I then tried messing around with the WiFi Tether TrevE Mod that I saw recommend a few times but this didn't pan out on the 2.10.605.1 ROM (I temporarily went to 1.10.605.15 and it worked; I went back to 2.10.605.1 when someone recommended the solution below):

I flashed this package onto my system and, without a problem, built-in wireless tether started working. I've seen no problems.
Getting my one today. I guess I will give this a go tonight. Thanks. Anything else to look for? Thanks.

Rumrunner worked perfectly fine for me on Ubuntu 12.1 64 bit both times I ran it. I would try it first before downloading s 32 bit distro if 64 bit is already installed.

I have 2.10.605.1 on this phone out of the box and dont see a Rumrunner for it. Does that mean I am just going to have to sit tight and wait?

may not have time to do this today. Can I just keep pushing the ota off? I delayed it already but will it prompt me before trying to install?

Yeah just keep delaying it. If you take it you're screwed. 4.4.2 can't be unlocked and rooted at the moment.

thanks. Looks like firewater uses some sort of temp root method? I will look into it. Firewater does s-off and root, correct?
And unlocks bootloader?

It does unlock and s off. You will have to get a recovery and flash super user in recovery but that isn't until after you're unlocked and s off.

So just flash TWRP or Clockwork, then go back in and flash super user. Thank you.
edit: I realized I am in the wrong forum asking these questions.

Yeah. Make sure you use cwm version 6.0.4.6 not .7 or twrp 2.6.3.4.

Hello:
I just gained S-OFF on stock 4.3 out of the box.
If I want to go to Stock/Rooted I am guessing I should take the OTA, then Clockwork or TWRP and SSU? Thanks.

Do not take the ota. Just flash the firmware in Santod's stock ROM thread and then flash the stock ROM from the ota.

I was already S-Off and actually good to go. Took the OTA, flashed SuperSU after Clockwork and I am banging. Root/Soff, nailed it. Thank you for your help.

The only reason I don't suggest taking ota is because sometimes the results can be less than desired.
