hey my current version was wm5 for rogers then download the http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5xuh3jv2yg4 and the nhb is somehow currupt when i try to unzip it i want to upgrade to wm6 right now im stuck on the color red green and blue bootloader im really stuck any help -_-?
After running stock ruu's, and gone through the phone setup, on the last "HTC page" there is a paragraph at the bottom, in red, that says "bla bla bla this is a test device".
What's that all about ?
There's 2 M8's in the house and both are legit UK handsets and both have red text on set up.
Cheers
Edit.... Think I found the answer. Is it due to the fact that both handsets are s-off ?

No. It is because you have an unlocked bootloader.
But since you are S-Off, you can get rid of it with a modified hboot.
Go to this thread to find out how.

It's not the red text on the splash screen I'm meaning. It's the red text on last page, I think, when going through the set up of the phone after its booted.
I don't have red text on splash screen when running stock, I only get that after flashing a custom recovery.
It is because your s-off. Being s-off trips a flag in your OS. When going through the testing phase before these phones get shipped to the public they are s-off and Tell HTC is enabled to help with errors and crashes. If you were to go back to s-on Tell HTC would be able to toggle again and the red text on the last part of setup would disappear. It's nothing to worry about.

OK, thanks. After a bit of searching I thought it was to do with being s-off.
I come back to stock regulary from viper but now during the first boot of my m9 it appear a red text under disclaimer that say phone is for testing and it is property of HTC. This is not true I've bought my phone regularly in a big mall. I tried to flash another Ruu but results is the same. Somebody can help me to take off that red text.
Hmm - I've got the same testing message (visible when I go into recovery), but it doesn't say anything about property of HTC. Just a warning about being a development build.
This message is given when the phone is bootloader unlocked (or if it is S-OFF, I think). Perfectly normal.
I have two m9's one a developer edition (using wwe firmware, custom rom) and one an at&t edition (using tmous firmware, custom rom) and they both have the red message. There is firmware that will remove the red message here . Just look for a match to your version and follow instructions very carefully. Instructions are here . If you need them.
So, I unlocked by bootloader and went s-off in order to turn my HTC 10 into the US Unlocked version, so that I could get Nougat. Everything went well, I unlocked it using HTC dev, installed TWRP, flashed super su, installed Sunshine, went S-OFF, changed CID and MID, relocked, used the RUU.exe to get Nougat.
But now, even when the bootloader is relocked, I still get that red warning text that appears when the phone is booting up. Is it normal? Back on my old M8, relocking the bootloader took out the red text, as far as I remember. I tried to go back to S-ON, but the command failed.
Is there any way to get rid of that red text?
something like this?

Yes, that text. But there is no firmware for the Nougat version I have on my HTC right now, and returning to Marshmallow to get rid of that text would pretty much cancel the thing I made this for from the beginning.

Hi, just a bit of warning when using the modified aboot, flashing this carelessly will result in an unrecoverable brick, search for the Sneakyghost thread for flashable zips, he explains very well why he dropped support for them, too many bricks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/2016-05-27-fastboot-flashing-firmware-t3387520/page112
This is an example of someone bricking their phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/htc-10-brick-t3521251
For your particular case, I think I read somewhere that changing the MID could cause the red text to appear, but I'm not 100% sure on that, in my case I only changed the CID for the US unlocked one and left the MID the same, I don't have the red text and I'm on Nougat, S-Off and unlocked, so relocking is not necessary to get rid of it.
I have seen the red text but only flashing a different kernel, running the Nougat RUU got rid of it.
Just my 2 cents, maybe it's not worth to have a brick just to get rid of some text you only see when rebooting.

Well, I surely didn't want to risk that, so I did what you mentioned. Yeah, the problem might have been from the MID. I changed it back, and flashed the RUU with the original software I had, locked the bootloader, and the text is gone. Thanks!
Pls I need help, I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone but now the red warning appears, i'm 4.16.709.xx firmware, however now i'm using viper rom and still get the warning, how can i remove that?
As far as i know, only stock state removes that red warning.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Or you flash a NoRedText aboot (S-OFF required). However, you need to be aware that these modified aboots can lead to unrecoverable bricks if the modifications didn't get done correctly. Therefore, I personally recommend ignoring the red text in lieu of flashing such an aboot.
