[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
i have now installed the eng hboot,made a copy of the oem commands,and changed the mid. the good news is that i observed the change i thot would occur. the bad news is that i thot i had bricked my phone for a few minutes :eek:

upon re-installing my stock hboot,the phone just looped on the splash screen. i installed the eng hboot again,changed the mid back to to mobile,still bootloop. luckily an ruu fixed it. *sigh of relief*

not sure what happend. still shaking from the ordeal and 5am comes early,so i think im calling it quits for tonite :p. ill try to hex edit the mid tomorrow or sat,and see if hboot observes the change,and if i still get a bootloop. despite the scare,weve made some progress :)

edit:

almost forgot... if youre wondering the difference between an eng and ship hboot,here you go:
