[Atrix 4G General] sublimejosh2000:
I'm looking to do the following.. can anyonwe give me a real step by step guide to do this... seems there are too many threads..

1. Stock enhanced rooted Blur ROM (Only because I want a webtop...)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1694390 <-- This one would most likely be the best, I haven't seen anything better really around...

2. the Electrify Webtop... How easy is this? Just flash it after the ROM?

3. WebtoptoSD ... Says I need this to do electrify webtop... I can't seem to find a east guid for this...

I have helped lots on here,. hopefully someone can help me. I have a SGS3 now, so I want a full time Linux/Tablet full time device out of my Atrix. I am going to keep it on my desk docked at all times, so i want to keep it in Webtop always...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Actually, on the topic of the developer text, it may not be a bad idea to be able to put some custom text in there. Something like, "If found, please call so and so at xxx-xxx-xxxx", or similar?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regulator207:
I thought the original was "*** Security Warning ***"

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
I am planning on updating this utility to provide more customizations. This is just the initial release. Just like gpz said, I plan on adding support for editing the red developer splash screen text, and a few more customizations to the bootloader screen. Just remember, this kind of customization is very risky, and needs to be treated with care. Also, if you forget you modified the text to ***LOCKED*** and try to unlock thinking it's locked... a whole mess load of bad will rain down.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
^^You think so? Seems the unlock process replaces the hboot with a hacked (unlocked) version. Not much different than flashing yours that has the text modified. No?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Watermark Removed!

Wasn't someone asking for this?

@regaw

I was able to better center the "*** LOCKED ***" on your stock-like version, without having to add in the extra space on either side of the asterisks. Once you get back, PM me and I can tell you what I did. Or if you want to talk on IRC, let me know.

The only thing I couldn't figure out how to remove is the CID from HBOOT that doesn't appear there when you're S-ON. I could remove where it says "CID-", but it's pulling that "SPCS_001" from the misc partition, and I think it'll take more than a hex edit to stop it from doing that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Did you shop that? or is it legit?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I wouldn't know HOW to shop it, lol.

All you have to do it zero out the entire area where it previously said "** UNLOCKED **". In fact, you don't even have to do the entire area. It's the first character that seems to determine what shows up, so if you zero that out, nothing shows up.

In order to center the fake "*** LOCKED ***" you start where "UNLOCKED" would start, and for the extra two spaces at the end, instead of spaces, fill with "00".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Now we just have to get rid of the empty space that is left there, awesome find Capt
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yeah, I thought zeroing out the whole section would get rid of the space, but that didn't work - maybe if I get rid of any/all the text that could/would go there, it would get rid of the space? I'll try that real quick now.

Also, if you zero fill "00" at the end of any of the custom text that's shorter than the original (rather than adding a space "20"), it removes the extra magenta space(s) ;).

EDIT: That didn't get rid of the space at the top :(. I zeroed out everything from "TAMPERED" to "Security Warning" and there's still the blank white space. That and "CID" are my current nemeses.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Yeah I used that w/ the S-ON tag too. I didn't want to release anything like that that wasn't tested, but now that it is, I'll do a rebuild soon. Also I'm working on branching it out for other devices now. I'm making a plugin system to go with it, so developers in the other forums can create a dll containing their device's info/embedded hboot.img and specific offsets that I require to edit it, so I don't have to go around making all of them for everyone :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
Was there any luck getting rid of that status bar?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I didn't even try to do anything with that yet. I doubt that one will be a hex edit - there's probably a flag somewhere for whether the progress bar should be shown.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Munkeymon:
There's no checksum to worry about updating when these hboot files are modified?

Has anyone tried running LazyPanda using an hboot file generated by this tool? I assume it'd be as easy as extracting the generated file from the .zip and renaming it to the lp_hboot.img that LP expects. I'm tempted to try it but I don't want to end up bricking my phone because of something stupid like a CRC error on the hboot image.

What tools are you guys using to manipulate these hboot files? Everything I find on Google is either full of dead links or clearly not what I'm looking for.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I can answer your last question (for me, at least). I'm just using a hex editor (Hex Editor Neo Free).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Munkeymon:
Ah, OK. You referenced a Misc partition in one post so I thought you might be using some tool chain to unpack and repack these things. I think that also answers the first question unless you're hand-computing a checksum for your edits or something :)

I remember Neo being annoying for some reason and switched to HxD some time ago. Also, WinMerge does binary file comparisons, which is nice.

I should probably ask about using a different hboot in the LazyPanda thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
I flashed the new firmware resulting in my radio changing and being different from what's on the bootloader screen currently, courtesy of Captain, but my hboot is still the same. Is there gonna be a updated version of this tool that will reflect the new radio I'm running plus also remove that CID line? I'm more concerned about the Radio then the CID though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
The radio line changes based on what's on your system. Not sure why you're concerned about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] travisw0204:
Thanks for the speedy response Captain. I wasn't overly concerned about it but in the event I had to take it to Sprint I just wanted to keep the illusion alive. I didn't know that line changed when I changed the radio as I hadn't made any changes to my radio since I installed this mod. That's good to know. Thanks again Captain
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
confused myself :) easy to do !

let's see - unlocked on july 1st. then lazypanda ate bamboo for S-OFF.

before the OTA used Dan's customize and went with 'stock look'

so it shows locked and hboot 1.12.0000

then flashed the new firmware (radio, pri, etc.without new hboot)

dumb question. what is my real hboot ?

1.12.2222 ?

and is there a way to see that ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Your real HBOOT would be 1.12.2222, as you suspect.

However there's no real way to tell what your actual HBOOT number is. Unless regaw knows of a way?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
The updated hboot from the OTA is 1.15.0000. If you used this updated tool, you will be on the modified 1.12.0000 which is labeled 1.12.2222 unless you specified the stock look.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zounduser:
Hey bro u will eventually update this for the most recent update? I just pulled the hboot out of the new firmware for now. Thanks bro

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I replied to you over in the other thread.

Not to speak for regaw, but this tool uses the LP HBOOT, not the stock versions. The stock versions show "TAMPERED" and "LOCKED" rather than the LP version that has these things disabled.

I can't think of any reason to update the tool, unless LP provides an updated HBOOT with additional features.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zounduser:
I figured as much, but this device is a little different than the rez, so wanted to b sure. Thanks again.

What i meant was updated to work on the newest updated hboot. Like if someone was 2 install the new hboot. Could this still over ride the new one. Does that make more sense? Thanks for the replies

sent from by blinged out HTC EVO 4G LTE using ICS tapatalk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Actually, scratch that, I'm not going to update the bootloader image. For one there isn't a new re-engineered one (lazypanda), and two, this one is all we need. There is no reason to ever update it unless we get an engineering bootloader, which in turn will give us many more fastboot commands.

S-OFF means you can flash anything. So what version you have on there currently is effectively irrelevant. The one produced by this tool will overwrite it.

I have "re-imagined" (thanks Microsoft) this bootloader customizer, and I am close to releasing a beta version for the new one.

The new version is expandable to any other HTC device that has S-OFF. It will require a developer from each device to create a specific .NET dll that will act as a plugin to the new Bootloader Customizer. I will be posting a new version under another thread (most likely in the General Android Development section) so everyone can see it. I will include semi-detailed instructions that will tell the developers how to create the plugin.

Ok. I'm going to ask a very stupid question... I'm already htcdev unlocked and lazy panda s- off. I ran the tool to get the red text off the bootloader screen. My bootloader says lazy panda and s- off.

Now the question... So can I use this tool to get it to say Locked and s- on in case I need to take it back to sprint for any reason or should I flash a RUU to do that? If not, what's the benefit of me changing what it says?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
As per the OP, yes. That's exactly what you can do. Either that or use my S-ON tool in another post in this forum to bring it really back to stock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NachoB:
It does display, but only when booting into recovery. Nothing displays with a system boot.

Maybe they were offended by your "haha HTC" screen cap in the first post and disabled it ;-) kind of a haha back at ya

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robbie_G:
Maybe I am misunderstanding things, but wouldn't it be suspicious to Sprint/HTC that you were on their latest OTA update, but had an old bootloader that said 1.12 vs. 1.15?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lanewhit:
So, if I used this tool to make it say Locked and s- on, I could take it to sprint for service? I assume that I would still need to flash a rooted stock rom to completely fool them. Am I correct in my thinking or would I still need to lock the bootloader and flash an RUU? I guess I'm trying to avoid having to do the entire root process all over again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
Your train of thought is correct. You also will need to remove superuser, and all the apps associated with root on the phone and sd card.

@regaw

I think I *may* have figured out how to get rid of the CID line in the bootloader, but I won't be able to test it until I get my *4th* new device. I restored my current one to stock by flashing the 1.22 RUU, but what's odd is that HTCDev won't unlock my bootloader. I'm not sure why. The unlock code goes through, I choose yes on the phone screen, but when I go back into bootloader after booting up, the device still says "RELOCKED", and I can't flash anything. That's not a good sign. I just have to return these phones quick enough to hopefully get one that hasn't been updated yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
ya know, I'm going to ask, just so this ota noob understands ...

ota contains everything: software and system fixes, new hboot, recovery, kernel,radio and pri.

correctamondo ?

then you see all sorts of 'firmware' listed in the forums:

everything but hboot and recovery, radio and pri only, kernel only, etc.

but the software and system fixes aren't with them, i would think.

on the phone, when you go into settings - system updates,

if you select software, what will get flashed ?

if select firmware, what will get flashed ?

thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
The software in this case is anything containing the patched and updated files from the OTA that go in /system.

The firmware is anything included in the firmware.zip from the OTA, which included HBOOT, stock recovery, boot.img, radio, PRI, and some other smaller firmware updates that we don't know much about.
