[MOD] Hboot 3.16.0.000 without red text on custom kernels.

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
Download:

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.

Yeah, figured it out when I noticed the hash symbol Got it working - thanks for making this!

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.

So the phone have to be on bootloader or recovery?

So i am assuming that reverting the hboot to have red text, we would just flash our own Hboot dumps?

I'm assuming so.. Either way it can't hurt to put back what was already there to begin with so give it a go

I just removed the "Tampered" banner (Didn't know i can do that, LOL), so really all that is left if the Red Text. i really don't care if it says locked or unlocked.

[Q] Restore T-Mobile HTC One M8 to Stock ROM with RUU

Is there a RUU for the T-Mobile variant of the M8?
Looking to revert back to 100% stock. Im coming from the full GPE conversion with S-Off and unlocked bootloader.
I saw that there is an RUU for Verizon so I figured I would ask here on the Tmobile hood.
yes i did a search, and no i did not find what i was looking for.
Thank you!!

When i go into recovery it shows something like 2.22.401.4 "something is wrong or missing something-i dont like to go into recovery to see again but i think you know this issue ) Can you please tell me what to do guys i dont want to sell my htc m8 and i want to get the OTA's in the future without any problem. Btw my phone is bought from T-Mobile Macedonia, where i wondered is this t-mobile RUU for all countries T-Mobile devices or just US?

Boot issues
Hi everyone,
I just flashed the boot.img and installed the Root_And_BusyBox.zip file via TWRP. After a reboot, my device is stuck at the boot screen (white screen with green HTC logo and red warning about development build). Apparently it finishes booting, because when I touch the screen I can feel it respond, I can even hear the unlock sound. However the screen always stays the same. Holding the power button doesn't reboot the phone either.
Any ideas how I can get this to work again?
Thank you very much!

Hi guys,
I am currently running stock rom and software version 3.28.709.5. I rooted with hassoon AIO Toolkit.
My questions are these :
1) should I unroot my device and follow the instructions to have access to OTA updates?
2) since my device version seems to be newer than recommended one by Mike, will Mikes method work with my version?
3) when people say that you can't process OTA updates when rooted and running a custom recovery, does that mean you literally cannot see any available updates under the HTC software update section? Or that you can see the update but cannot install it?
Thanks all especially Mike!

Try holding down the power button + vol. up
It's the equivalent of a battery pull, and might clear stuff up.
You'll have to hold it down for 20 seconds or so. Be patient and wait for it to reboot before letting go.

Hi xunholyx,
Thanks for your reply, I didnt know about the Vol down in this case. With my last phone it was just holding the power button.
Anyway, what I did is wait until the battery died, then I was able to get into fastboot mode again. It seems there was something wrong with the boot.img. After I flashed the stock one again it worked fine. Not sure why it didn't want to work...

I can only speak for number 3. You will see the updates, but when you try to install them it will boot into your custom recovery, then installation will fail. Only flashing the stock recovery back will let you install the OTA. After that you can flash your custom recovery again.

To be clear: I know how to install OTAs from here via stock recovery from SD-card, but I don't find a clear answer to the question above.

You have to downgrade your firmware to match the version of stock ROM you are using (4.4.3 i presume?).
If you are worrying about getting OTAs using the new software version, then it is not stock for you.
Maybe it is me who is misunderstanding. Did you manually update your firmware? Then it is probably not stock for you.
The OTA would have contained the new firmware.
If you need OTAs, you will have to S-Off and downgrade.
Unless I was misunderstanding what you were asking.
Edit: I see now by reading back to the beginning that I did misunderstand.
I think this method will still work, but I will check to make sure. BRB

When I got the phone a week ago I'm pretty sure it was already 4.4. I processed 1 OTA, which was called the HTC Eye experience, I then unlocked and rooted using a all in one toolkit. I am now still 4.4 kitkat.
I thought the software version and firmware was the same thing?
My current software version is 3.28.709.5
And for some reason I can't see anything when I use adb getvar version-main.
I didn't manually load anything except for unlocking bootloader and rooting.
I want to process OTA in the future without unrooting but Mike the OP listed a different software version.
As you answered me in a different thread you know I'm asking about how to get my version main back.

I already asked this in the original tread, but I see now there is a q&a section, so..
So, if I changed my build.prop, ota will fail, right?
Will it still fail if I replace build.prop with a copy (backup) of the original?

Root and removing system apps ( bloatware )

While not able to obtain s- off at the moment because I'm on 4.4.4 if I root is it possible to remove unwanted apps? I have been using the stock Rom and just changing a few things using xposed and that's all I need to do. But rather not root if I cannot remove apps of my choosing. Also I read somewhere that just unlocking the boot loader and rooting some people are having problems keeping root. Anyone know about this also? Thanks

Don't use a toolkit, and root manually. It'll stick. Then you can go right ahead and remove any app you want. Just don't remove the wrong ones. And of course, make backups through the steps

I do not believe this in itself will work. System is write protected, even with root. You can delete the bloat apps, but when you reboot, they will return.

I know I've removed google apps recently from a custom, (play services because of FCs) and it screwed stuff up. But now thinking back, I'm not sure I did a reboot. I never intended to keep it off, and flashed the ROM back to reinstall PS and fix the FCs.
I think I did a reboot first, but I may not have. From what you say, I probably didn't. Unless it is just the stock bloatware that has read only.

You need system write protection off, and root.

Has anyone got their hands on the T-Mobile RUU, or know of a way to get it back to out of the box stock?

I have a stock back up. However, I still need the stock recovery.

:crying::crying::crying: I, too, need this mystical T-Mobile stock RUU for the HTC 10. I'm stuck in either bootloader mode or download mode. I cannot reboot the phone into normalcy, nor can I get it into recovery mode (of which would be TWRP). After rooting it I put the SELinuxModeChanger apk on my phone and downloaded it. When I opened it, it gave an error telling me that I was either not rooted (double checked that w/ a root checker and it confirmed I certainly was), or that it wasn't being given any permissions by the SU (of which I certainly did). I didn't think much of this till now - it wasn't a huge deal. And I made the choice that I just wanted to start fresh and go back to stock.
Did all the necessary preparations for it and couldn't find the HTC 10 RUU under T-Mobile on their site...but thought the one under Unlocked/Developer would be fine. Tried it, the program told me I couldn't do it with that version and now I'm stuck at aforementioned point. I could certainly use help as well.

Only way to go back to stock is to restore a backup. What do you get when you try to go into TWRP?

I get this error:
"Failed to boot to recovery mode
Press volume up or down to back to menu"
I've been talking to a bunch of XDA member in a group chat app on my HTC Desire...someone mentioned something along the lines of using a backup that will work for the HTC 10 T-Mobile phone.
Can I use my fiances somehow? He's rooted w/ custom ROM.

Oi vey :crying: so since I was trying to use the RUU to get back to stock - I relocked my phone (as it is a prerequisite for the job to get done). So, since you can't flash while locked, I simply go to enter in my fastboot unlock command for this device and I get this is response:
error: cannot load 'token'
So now I am going through the HTCDev website and am going to redo the bootloader unlock process to see if that will work with unlocking it once more...then I will attempt to reflash TWRP. If it's all successful...I have the TWRP backup on my SD card...will the reinstalled version of TWRP be able to use it?

Welp...
Sad day - I enter my "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" in the CMD window...and the menu where I get prompted with the question as to whether or not I want to unlock the bootloader on my phone popped up. I jumped for joy up to the point where it froze after I said yes, shut down, then went back to bootloader mode.......still locked :crying:
No what?

I can't do this till I get computer access again. However, I just realized that my bootloader is relocked...and I'm stuck in either download or bootloader mode. It won't reboot into the phones UI nor will it boot into recovery. Will I even be able to preform this operation?
