[MOD] Remove Red Text on Splash Screen [HBOOT 2.22.0000]

This mod requires S-OFF to use and you flash it at your own risk!

This mod removes the red "development purposes only" text that is displayed on the system splash screen each time you boot/restart your phone.

Instructions (Method 1):

Download the correct hboot file for your device from below.

Extract the included 0P4EIMG.zip and copy it to the root folder of your external SDCARD.

Reboot your phone into the bootloader. (Google if you don't know how)

If your phone displays FASTBOOT and not HBOOT hit the Power button and it will switch

Once in HBOOT it will scan your external SDCARD for the 0P4EIMG.zip file and load it if you renamed and copied it successfully.

Once found follow the prompts on screen to flash the file and reboot the device.

When your device reboots make sure to remove/rename the file or it will be loaded every time you boot into the bootloader.

Instructions (Method 2):

Download the corresponding hboot for your device.

Extract the included 0P4EIMG.zip into your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.

Put the device in fastboot mode

(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)

Connect the device to the computer

Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:

fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)

fastboot flash zip 0P4EIMG.zip (this flashes the modified hboot zip file)

Important: the flash process halts at around 75% to 90% on phone screen! This is normal and a safety precaution!

The last few percent is the reboot, which is NOT happening automatically, so you get a chance to check the console output before reboot to make sure it is safe to reboot!

The bar will only fill up to 100% once you type the following command:
​

fastboot reboot

That's it, you're done. You can now reboot and not see the red text anymore.
