wow.. the TWRP install work. Alot louder. Very nice

Just wow...
[G2 Themes and Apps] Heatshiver:
Louder from the phone speakers, or when using a headset?
[G2 Themes and Apps] Evilmonstertruck:
Dont really notice a increase in phone speakers but the headset sure is a hell of alot louder
[G2 Themes and Apps] Heatshiver:
I thought as much as when testing with a video my speakers didn't seem louder. Thanks.
[G2 Themes and Apps] whittikins:
Has anyone tried and confirmed that it works for the AT&T version? Thanks

I have noticed today that my phone restart by itself when I turn on the wifi. It only restart once and after it boot again all is normal, but that's a strange behavior. So it shouldn't restart by itself when you turn on the wifi connection.

So does anyone know how to get rid of the red warning text or whatever on the first splash screen when you power on? Sorry if there is already a thread on this topic, I couldn't find any...

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BygSii:
Only thing I've seen is over in the Apps and Theme Thread there is one where people post their splash screens, and one of the splash screens is bright red with an HTC logo and it matches the red font from the screen and thus makes it disappear once you flash it.

right here is the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2453339&page=3
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Cares:
I actually immediately unlocked my phone after buying it on Monday. Does this red text appear because of beaups S-OFF method or did people get this also when using HTC unlock?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
I didn't have the text when I was unlocked/rooted and S-ON. I am pretty sure everyone gets this text once they S-OFF (which I did).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] major_works:
Darned if I can remember where but there's another thread where this came up and someone said the text could be removed. Had to do with editing stuff in hboot? Not sure but the implication was that there's a way to do it. I wish I could find it, though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] wiredout46:
there's an hboot editing app that does it but the plug in for verizon htc one has not been ported for it yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
Isn't it auto applied when you unlock your boot loader? That splash lasts 5 seconds or so. Is it bothering you THAT bad? Lol
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] major_works:
I'd get rid of it if I could (and if it wasn't too much trouble). It looks cheesy.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
Ya it isn't that big of a deal but if there is a simple way to get rid of it I would do it.

no pressure Scott. :)

I know large risk of brick, and I would make the plug-in if I knew anything about hex editing.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

we need to find someone willing to make it as if they mess up just one letter in the hex editor you could risk bricking of the phone, so the first person, "tester" would be a brave soul, but if we have a legit guy working on it or has made one before I think we will be ok.

It was a lot of fun playing with it on the Inc4g

the text is always there,s-on or s-off,when you install a custom boot,system,or recovery image.

if you fastboot boot recovery to install superuser on the stock rom,then the text may not appear.

im not sure if there is a flag somewhere that is set(like tampered,locked,etc) or if hboot itself is actually checking the signitures of the partitions it expects to be stock.

I contacted my buddy (junkmail9) who made the one for the HTC inc4g

He will be making us one I hope. Just hope it don't matter if on .8 or .10 software .The hboot # is still 1.54 so we'll see.

Although testing is very risky not something I'm willing to do but I did test for him on inc4 and he got it first try

i had replied to another thread asking about this but i am still a little confused. i used beaups rumrunner to s-off and unlock. installed CWM recovery then rooted with supersu. the screen flashed the red text when it was rebooting while running the rumrunner exploit but since then anytime i have rebooted i have not seen it. phone shows s-off and unlocked and i have full root access but i do not get the text during boot

On a side note, if anyone wants to be a brave soul and test this hboot plug-in for our phone, this is based off the .8 hboot.

Use this, and then add the plug-in

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
So I'm tempted to try this. Any particular changes I should make? How sure are we that this is 100%?

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
not sure at all it could brick! know this risk.., but I don't think it will.

I don't know what the .zip needs to be named, so right now the one it outputs isn't the correct file name, but you can just flash the hboot using fastboot RUU

if you want to test it

here would be the steps

fastboot devices //Verify that the device is detected

fastboot erase cache //Not sure if this is completely necessary, but the guide I followed included it as a step

fastboot oem rebootRUU //Boot into RUU, which lets you flash HBOOT, radio, etc.

fastboot flash zip [zipname.zip] //Replace zipname.zip with the actual name of the file you are flashing

fastboot reboot-bootloader //The guide I pulled this info from didn't specifically say that you should reboot to bootloader rather than to Android, but I have seen others mention that you should always reboot to the bootloader first after flashing an HBOOT or radio. I would do this just in case
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
I should really just come out and ask directly.... Does the dev that made this have a Verizon One?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
No, as I mentioned earlier, he was the one who made it for the htc inc4, I asked him to do this for us.

no one has to test this..

he just did this as a favor to me.

I may test it, I may not..

I want to try and wait and do it through sing the .zip but can't figure out what it needs to be called, so I may just fastboot RUU it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
Needs to be named PN071IMG.zip I believe.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I've tried like everything, but nothing gets picked up :confused:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
Maybe it only supports flashes via a OTG cable?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
It may be because we dont have an sd card but i am not sure :/

It's the same thing flashing it in fastboot RUU mode, but still could cause brick flashing hboot, very dangerous. but I trust the guy who made it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
I am really tempted to try this, but I am too much of a wuss :p.

RegawMOD Customizer

If anyone wants to test this we have a plug-in that is felt to be very safe, same guy that made the one for us for the htc inc4 I asked to look into our .8 hboot and make a plug-in, there are many options you can play with check the sites out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2062890

this is from the inc4.

this is the him - junkmail9, great guy.

We got a hold of the creator of the RegawMOD customizer and he updated it for the HTC One just for us.

Let me know and I will walk you through everything.

Understand that there is a large risk of brick when messing with hboots.

we will not be held responsible, but if someone has a phone they can test on, or one going back on a refurb and could test this that would be great for the community because he can then modify any hboot moving forward starting with .10, please let me know. :)

It's quite a bit of fun playing with it. Once the first test is done and proven to be ok it can be released.

---All credit to junkmail9 for the plug-in
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
I don't care about any red text on my boot screen that shows up momentarily.

My point being is that we will probably have a new h-boot in less than a month, which might hurt the software s-off.

Good grief, you are dense.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Why would anyone update their hboot? :confused:

Sent from my ??? :p
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
I think he means once there is a new HBOOT and another OTA goes out. People that unknowingly updated and people getting insurance replacements won't be able to S-OFF anymore (assuming of course they patch the exploit.)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
Replacement phones and people who get the phone later won't have a choice.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zwitterion:
Haha, I like how you are goading someone into trying it, including providing a walk-through, but won't test it yoursef. :p
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
Why would you not?

Absolutely no reason to stay on old hboots if you're s off.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nexusisneecesary:
So,just to clarify ,even an s off achieved via a software exploit,can not be patched with an update to hboot?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I am not "goading" anyone, I have listed the risks of bricking. All I have done is set this up, if someone is in a position to test it, (like someone sending back for a refurb). Everyone has a choice, all I am doing is offering it. If you don't want to test then please just not post about it. Once it's tested, it can be made for every hboot thus forward. It's great tool and very fun to play with once working.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
Correct. Radio s-off stays until you purposely change it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
So Andybones, did you try this yet? I mean, it is your guy after all. Seems like he's posting all over the other forum saying he's waiting for you to test. What sort of hardware issues are you having?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I can't test on my phone, if someone else knowingly wants to they can, if not, they don't it's that simple, I just set it up, doesn't mean I am willing to risk my phone, and if no one else is either, or doesn't have a phone going back on a refurb and could test, then there is no loss, now is there? These HTC threads are un-blievable. Oh, and I was never his original guy to test, his guy is having hardware issues, I never agreed to test, just simply set some of it up for us. Yes he is posting in that thread because the DEV of the project specifically updated his program for HTC One phones.

We were lucky in the Inc4 threads I did test cos I could, but I can't on this device.

How about you just relax and wait to see if someone can fill the shoes?

Never did I say I was going to test this, doesn't mean I don't think it's safe. But I am certainly not making a thread or goading anyone.

I simply presented us with a choice. We all have choices on this phone, that is the point of this place, to develop and continue developing.

So yea, eventually that plug-in will get tested and you will most likely be using the new hboot plug-in in the future and will be responsible for helping getting support for HTC One variants, so your welcome in advance. ;)

Scotty posted a adb command to remove tampered flag he didn't test it, nor does he have to, but I did and you're welcome. Same thing, presenting us with an option, who pesters someone for bringing options to the community, seriously, troll on.

Don't fix what ain't broken that's why. Updating the hboot isn't something most will benefit from.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Except when hboot sets the partition mounts for your phone. There have been software releases already where running an old hboot caused major issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
[

following that logic,why ever update anything? froyo worked just fine when it came out! :p

exactly! in some cases your old hboot wont boot the phone any longer. it sometimes will not be compatible with the rest of the firmware. newer is almost always better.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
... That logic is so flawed its not even funny... Froyo had serious problems. Flashing a ROM / taking an ota and flashing an hboot aren't even in the same solar system ...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
that was a joke(hence the ":p") :rolleyes:

the point being that updates are made to firmware just as they are made to an OS. just becasue they arent as visually obvious doesnt mean they are not there. to stay on an outdated hboot or radio is just becase "it aint broke" is,IMO,silly when one has s off. if you experience any issues you can easily revert back,thats the whole point of becoming s off.

just my 2 cents. if youre happy with your set up,thats cool. just dont know the rest of us who like to stay current :D
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Its not about being current. There are tons of risks associated with flashing hboots versus other things. That's all I'm saying. Usually hboot updates are more or less blocking mechanisms from what I understand. Not trying to be disrespectful. Just a bit dangerous for some. Especially when it comes to new people.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
hboot updates are not about blocking more or less mechanisms. they are about making things better. as weve seen recently,they can sometimes block tools or things from working. in this situation,just revert back to the older one. again,thats why we become s off.

if you are s on,thats a different story- you should always use a great deal of caution when updating any portion of the phone that youll be stuck with afterward.

i agree flashing hboot,radios,and other firmware carries risk,thats one reason im against hex editing hboot,or this hboot tool. absolutely folks should not just flash hboot haphazardly and for no reason.

all im saying,is that if new firmware comes up,and youre s off,there is absolutely no reason to be afraid of it and remain on outated stuff. im not trying to be disrespectful,either. IMO it IS about being current. :)

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Reefer Madness:
santod040 has a legit method here.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:
So, I am wondering if the Red message goes away if I return the device to s-on....
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
No,it will not. The red message is present whenever the phone is in a modified state( in normal cases ;)) I.e. if you have a custom recovery and/or kernel you have the red letters.

This brings up a very important warning:

Wether you've used a hex editor to manually eliminate the message,or used the bootloader mod tool, your bootloader

is no longer signed with HTC's signiture

. This means you absolutely cannot turn s on until you've run an ruu or replaced your modded hboot with a factory,signed one.

Turning s on while on a modded hboot will result in a processor "do not boot" mode,without putting it int qdload mode. <-what that means is a very affective hard brick,with jtag being the only recovery option.

Please guys,once you've got s off,keep it. There are zero advantages to being s on.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
This is a very good point.

Also why I have included a stock restore zip and disclaimer in my thread.

Absolutely it is important that the stock hboot is flashed prior to reverting to stock S-on and locked if for any reason one should need to.

Thanks Scotty for helping stress the importance of that. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
No more danger of S-ONing with unsigned HBOOT. Phone now checks signature before allowing S-ON, so no worries there.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
im not so sure thats always the case.

i assume youre refering to sonic trying to s on with 1.44 hboot. in his case,it it may have been the fact that the device was running an hboot it should not have been. it may very well let you s on on an unsigned 1.54 hboot.

if youre refering to something else,id love to check it out :) otherwise,i think the failure to s on was a version error due to mismatched firmware from a version check rather than a signiture check.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zwitterion:
Scotty and ISDNMatt, since you both are very adept with these things, I thought to ask: How hard would it be to modify an HBoot to prompt a user upon the issuance of the S-ON command? While I am *knock on wood* certain that I'll never make the mistake, there have been many times in my life where the "Are you sure (Y/N)?" saved me from catastrophe.

Just thinking out loud here.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
I'm sure of it. I tried it myself, but there is other proof. If you check the RevONE revision history, there used to be the option to just S-On with the tool. This changed the flag directly and bypassed the signature checks leading to the possibility of bricks. They removed the option and suggested that everyone use write secureflag 3 instead because it allowed the bootloader to run the signature checks.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42322906&postcount=2

So no worries, the only real danger we have now is flashing something and it not booting.

This is on newer devices, older ones like the Rezound did not have this check yet I believe.

---------- Post added at 02:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

The changes being made now for custom HBOOTs are people just changing flags, or text, in hex. That's pretty straightforward. There is a close to zero chance of writing in a Y/N confirmation without HTC's tools and source code.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zwitterion:
Thanks for the insight. Another question, just to clarify the impact of screwing up the bootloader. If someone were to flash a corrupted bootloader, resulting in the phone being unable to boot: Is "unbricking" as simple as flashing with a proper Hboot? Or does one altogether lose the ability to connect to the phone to even perform the fastboot command?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
When you flash a corrupt bootloader, you are DONE. There is no way to get the device to take any kind of download anymore. Device will not boot and as scotty mentioned you will have to redownload the HBOOT with something like JTAG which you need to physically open the device for.

So to repeat, always check the MD5 sum, check it a couple times even, before you flash a HBOOT. Because there's no coming back from a bad flash.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
Thanks for the info. Did you really try and write secureflag 3 on a modded 1.54? :eek: how was it modded?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] isdnmatt:
I just did a hex edit to make S-OFF text say S-ON. This was my underlying reason why I was so thankful when you found a way to unlock without HTCdev. Then I had a really easy way of appearing stock. And I wanted to make sure if I left it that way, I wouldn't cause the problem you were speaking about if someone got my phone down the line and it prevents Verizon from S-ONing me ever....
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zwitterion:
What exactly prevents Verizon from S-ON'ing you forever?

Reading your warning on a corrupted boot loader, I can't believe you flirted with bricking by trying to S-ON with an unsigned HBoot! I just scared myself to death building up the nerve to flash Santod's modded HBoot!
