Does the red development text on the splash screen bother you after unlocking your device?

If so, I have a modified hboot for you that takes care of it.

This was simply hex edited by me to remove the text from the screen, no other changes were made.

I have tested it and it is 100% proven to work without any side effects.

I originally did this for the Verizon Droid DNA and HTC One (m7) and was asked to do it for the One Max, Butterfly S, HTC One (m8), HTC One (m9), and now also the HTC 10

FROM THIS >>> TO THIS >>>

Let's get to it!

You must be S-Off to do this!

To Install:

Download your Modified aboot:

-No Red Text aboots-

2.41.605.12_NoRedText_aboot.zip

Old Files:

2.41.605.6_NoRedText_aboot.zip

1.85.605.8_NoRedText_aboot.zip

Since I initially posted these:

I had a couple requests for a modified hboot/aboot that shows the device as being Locked and S-On, while being completely unlocked and S-Off.

I went ahead and made that as per request and made it for several devices.

The process is the same as it is for the NoRedText aboot, with the exception of the filename.

These also have the red text removed, like the No Red Text aboots above.

-Faux Locked aboots: (not really Locked and S-on but appear that way)

2.41.605.12_FauxLocked_aboot.zip

Old Files:

2.41.605.6_FauxLocked_aboot.zip

1.85.605.8_FauxLocked_aboot.zip

__________________________

Ok, Now you have your aboot of choice, let's proceed:

Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.

Put the device in fastboot/Download 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 filename_aboot.zip (this flashes the modified aboot 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-bootloader (this reboots the device to bootloader)

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

If you have any questions or issues, let me know.

Now for my RED TEXT: :p

LOL, good old VZW, updating at the speed of snail...plus .1 in the number sequence, that's golden. I am wondering which is going to come first, Nougat on Verizon HTC 10, or the Pixel XL I ordered showing up on my doorstep. At any rate, I installed it and it seems to be working great. Thanks for keeping us up to date bud!!
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] hgoldner:
Thanks, [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION]. Just rolled myself all the way back to pure stock 1.85.605.9, stripping out Magisk and Xposed mods and returning to pure stock recovery and boot to get ready for the imminent Nougat OTA. Works great.
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] aer0zer0:
How imminent? lol
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] hgoldner:
I don't think it's going out on a limb to guess that it will be out in January.
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] eriknors:
I'll bet we won't see nougat until March if u look back at all the previous updates from Verizon you'll see their pattern
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] afuller42:
itll be out soon, they haven't been that bad on this device. bad enough I know...

but anyways thanks for this, saves me some time manually removing apps, I OTA to the latest but forgot the terrible bloat on the stock rom and cant have that :)

One thing is I wouldn't mind the included Verizon apps so much but the thing I absolutely can not stand is the automatic random app installs on first boot, here have turbo tax and mobile strike and a few apps that youll never want.

ill stick to this until the update, but its hard after getting a taste of N on viper rom, miss features already like stock dpi and the performance of the system itself.
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] afuller42:
so I installed, debloat didn't seem to do anything. just was a stock rom afterwards, am I missing something here?
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nbelshaw:
That is the idea. It is completely stock minus bloatware.
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] afuller42:
The bloatware is still there is what im saying......
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] santod040:
All the Verizon and Amazon /system apps were still there after a full wipe and clean flash with debloat option chosen in aroma?

Or,.... You didn't wipe?
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] afuller42:
Full wipe, clean install of this ROM. Selected debloat and tether. After installing (tried twice) TWRP reported no OS installed both times, so I rebooted anyways and it loaded a fully stock ROM with all bloat, with first boot setup needed.
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] santod040:
Sounds like you have Twrp set to Read Only for system.

Or didn't "format" (not wipe) data in Twrp coming from Nougat or stock unrooted previously.

Not sure, no time to wipe and clean flash again today though.

But certainly I tested that install method prior to posting and is actually what I'm running at the moment.

With no bloat, root, and tether unlocked...
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] afuller42:
Definitely not read only. I did full wipe of everything and did not format, didn't think it was nessesary coming from the stock verizon OTA. Maybe that was it.

Honestly back on viper now, and tried of resetting, so testing that out won't be soon.

Btw I flashed the non rooted version of your rom
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] afuller42:
I just wanted to disable encryption. I install magisk root separate and have my own module for tether and stuff.
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Antny6:
I get that. I read your posts before responding. I had the same issue the first time I flashed ver 1. What I sent you are the exact steps I took the second time I flashed it, after which, the issue did not persist. Worth noting, in addition, I never had to slide the slider to allow system modifications--i just pressed the home button to ignore it.
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] afuller42:
There's been 67 downloads, 3 are from me. Now if Verizon had a larger user base I'm sure this wouldn't be so "isolated"

No offense meant or anything.

My only guess is how my phone was unlocked by Jcase in the very beginning.
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] santod040:
As well as 179 of the previous Marshmallow stock rom.

Still the only users I have seen report the issue are the two of you. No offense meant here either....

Both of you seem to have had this issue persistently on this device, no matter which base it is.

Which is why I suggested START A Q&A THREAD for the issue, a couple of times.

I can't help any more then I've already tried and this is really gumming up the works, no?

I can't thank you enough for releasing the Nougat ROM & F/W...

I updated my f/w from 1.85.x to the 2.41.x version you had listed w/ TWRP (3.0.3-0 version from 2/9...) and have been very, very pleased. I currently use the Viper10 rom (5.4.0) and noticed that Video Calling was not working on that ROM. Anyone using the "Stock-ish" ROM that was santod040 debloated that can indicate whether they can use Video Calling? I want to tinker and see if I can find a work around. Will be wiping and installing this version if it does work, but might as well avoid setting everything up again if it doesn't work as of yet.

Works for me by choosing in aroma, as do all included options.

Go to Magisk thread, download zip and flash it...then install Manager app if that didn't install either.

Hi [MENTION=1272062]santod[/MENTION],

I'm having an issue flashing the firmware. I'm coming from your stable MM Rom with the 1.85.605.9 firmware. I'm trying the SD card method since I cannot seem to get fastboot to work (keeps saying waiting for device).

I'm getting these lines listed in red as the flash progresses:

adsp.img@fail

21 RU_UNZIP_FAIL

21 RU_UNZIP_FAIL

FAIL21 RU_UNZIP_FAIL

I'm then prompted to reboot.

NVM, Must have been a bad download. Flashed new download, all good.
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] gzbrambila:
Thanks Santod!

I'm probably just one of those exceptions. The new TWRP just won't work for me. I had to RUU, flash the TWRP working with the MM ROMs, install this ROM, then flash the Nougat firmware, format data.

Nothing else would take. The TWRP in the OP just won't let me transfer files from the PC, and options won't stick either.

I am wondering if it has to do with the S-OFF locked (mine) vs the S-OFF unlocked options from Sunshine.

Phone in your latest now, and working great. Thanks a lot.
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Randal84:
I had a couple questions...

First is it possible to update the splash screen to the black and white us unlocked version over the red text boot screen with out a high risk of bricking my phone? Would it be too much to ask to have it made? Lol

Second with this ROM being that the firmware is early release, would it be possible to get updates from Verizon once they do release an official version to the public or would we need a Verizon RUU to do that, once released?

Just something I was thinking about.

Running the firmware with viper 5.4 and loving every minute of being fully nougat.
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ufkal:
Since I seem to be having difficulties flashing the firmware update using the download mode method (Most likely user error, I freely admit), is there any problem renaming the file 2PS6IMG.zip and placing on my external SD card and rebooting into download mode?

[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Randal84:
Okay so I was able to change the splash screen to the unlocked version with out a problem. I went ahead and did the red text fix you explained here and that worked just fine however when I reboot the device, I get system UI has stopped but it reloads once I shut the screen off and back on again. Everything on my phone works fine once I turn the screen back on. Running the nougat firmware, with viper 5.4 full ROM. I wiped ART dalvik and cache to see if that would fix it but it doesn't. Do I have to format data in TWRP? It's not a big big issue, I don't reboot my phone too often, usually unless I'm going into TWRP for something, but it's still an annoyance. Just for point of reference I've had this happen immediately after I'd install a viper mod ( up/down boot animation, flip clock tweak, etc) but it would be only once it did it, then on subsequent reboots I'd be fine, however that is not the case here, I've rebooted it a few times and it does it. Simple fix? Thanks in advance!! ?
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] santod040:
Sounds like a rom issue, Splash and aboot aren't going to effect SystemUI.

same here, I'm running Venom Magisk rom 5.4 on top which has the magiskSU. I think I recall seeing this noted elsewhere and the conclusion was its benign.

I am finding that when I use Titanium Backup to freeze a lot of bloat, the rom won't boot. There are too many variables between this base, a magisk rom on top... to complain, so I'm just not freezing stuff. The N firmware from Verizon, this rom, and Magisk has made my phone snappy again.
[Verizon HTC 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Antny6:
Did you see [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] 'S comment? You can uninstall it bc Magisk is handling SU internally...meaning the Phh SU is not actually truly "installed", so it wont cause issues to remove that guy...

Many, many thanks for the guidance. I'm all set!!! Here's what I did:

1. Complete wipe of internal

2. I used Santod's rom b/c it has all the Aroma options to make it "stock". The only options during the install were no root and encrypted.

3. I flashed Magisk 11.1 and Viper 10 5.4 Magisk, but I think all I should have done is Magisk to get root. When I ran through the rom setup, Magisk Manager wasn't there (no a problem).

4. Reboot, flash Magisk 11.1 again (don't know if it was needed) and then Viper 10 5.4 Magisk, reboot

5. Everything is working perfectly (all the Verizon advanced calling stuff, Magisk modules install, no Phh because I selected no root during the initial rom install).

Thank you again!!! I have to say that was one of the best knowledge exchanges I've seen in a while.

Install Method

Let my preface this with an apology...sorry for not knowing this beforehand...

I do not understand what this "Magisk" is about...I understand what it is, but do not understand whether I need it and/or how to flash a ROM utilizing it...

If I download this ROM (and I am on the 2.38 FW)...and I do not have updated TWRP...can I d/l 2.41 FW with TWRP included, flash it via download mode...have the ROM installed on external SD and flash, or...do you have to type 'yes' and format internal SD with this still? And I do not understand which option to pick in Aroma...should I choose the Magisk setting or what?

Thanks to anyone who is willing to take the time to answer this...

Install Method

I was able to flash successfully via download mode/SD card method...after flashing firmware, why does it still show 2.38 in Settings - About? Anyway, I formatted data, advanced wiped, installed zip, and performed wipe in aroma...

I chose the Magisk option in aroma, and did not de-bloat.

Setup went fine; however, Rom Toolbox cannot gain root access. I have a Magisk app installed (as well as an SU app), but just curious as to what this means.

Did everything flash successfully?

Firmware is available as stand alone zips in post 2.

If you had the proper firmware and twrp prior to flashing the rom, you shouldn't be having issues.

But since you just want the firmware, why even bother with flaahing the rom?

Why not just flash the firmware, if that's all you're after....? [emoji12]

You don't flash firmware in recovery and you don't unzip it.
