Runninng Uncommon Sense 1.1
If I wanted Verizons crapware on my phone I would have downloaded it myself.

Hmm didn't get it yet. Are u guys soff?

I never recieved the last OTA, so I'm confused as to why I would get it for this one.

I don't know? I didnt think that you were supposed to get an OTA if you were rooted?

Yeah. S-Off with SkyRaider 3.3.2.

This should help you all:

Thanks for the reference. The leaked build version seems to be working for this purpose.
To get this to work, you need to edit the /system/build.prop. find the line that begins with "ro.build.fingerprint" and change it to:
Code:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/264707:user/release-keys
Once rebooted, the nag might appear once more, but if you go to Settings->About phone->System updates you wil now get "your system is currently up to date".

Can somebody give me some simple instructions on how to replace the build.prop file with the changes I made? I grabbed the old one and made the changes (Just changing the numbers from 231334 in my case to 264707 correct?) but can't figure out how to replace the file now. I assume I need to use adb to do it, but I'm not experienced enough with using this method to feel confident and I'd rather not mess up my phone. Is it as simple as:
adb remount
adb push c:\build.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell reboot
Thanks for the help in advance...

What should I do if I do want to install the OTA, just for the sake of being up-to-date stock? I'm on stock 2.2, rooted with S-OFF and and ClockworkMod 2.5.0.5, and I'm not sure where to go from here.

To allow an OTA load.... just Follow the instructions...

I used subs (another root file manager) to edit the file. Click menu > mount system r/w. Then long press build.prop select chmod change to 666.
Edit file, save then change chmod back to 644
This might work in root explorer (change permissions) first.

Can anyone decompile The 4.0.4 system.img?

Can anyone please Decompile the System.img for Me?
I Have already tried it! But no luck for me!!!
I Want to make a flashable zip for this rom and for you guys But first i must have the system.img unpacked so that i can see the following folders:
App
Bin
etc
fonts
framwork
lib
media
tts
user
vendor
xbin
Thanks anyways!

Yes it's trivial (in linux anyhow). Use
Code:
simg2img system.img sys.img
mount sys.img /mnt
cd /mnt
zip -r /tmp/system.zip .

Just use the script (obviously not the binaries) from the tasks P7510 CWM thread and add the modem.bin to the script.

Thanks for your efforts. But how is this any easier than calling adb push yourself? I haven't tried it, but it looks like you still have to type the file paths into the terminal.

[S-OFF][MOD]Remove Tampered banner with flashable zip. Also zip if you want it back!

I got the actual command from this thread.I've just created the flashable zip
YOU NEED S-OFF TO DO THIS
I hope scotty1223 doesn't mind
This zip just removes the tampered banner from the bootloader. I've also included a zip to revert it back just in case you want it(for some reason )
Just flash the zip from the recovery and you're done!
I was not sure if I should create a new thread or not. If any mods believe that I shouldn't just delete the thread.
************************************NOTE*********************************************
I've tested this only on International M8. If you want to make sure this is going to work on your variant then type this command in a terminal emulator or ADB Shell:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.img
This will create a file in your SD Card. Upload the file here and I'll check and tell you whether this MOD is going to work for your variant.
UPDATE:
RemoveV2.zip does not work. Do not use it!.
UPDATE:
RemoveV3.zip fixes the garbage byte problem. Everyone should flash this one if Remove.zip does not work!.

I think it works but if you want to make sure
in a terminal emulator or an adb shell type this:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.img
Now there is a file on your sdcard with the name mmcblk0p6.img
Send me the file and I'll tell you if it's going to work

Working just great
M8 UL variant, S-Off working perfectly well. Thanks mate :good:
Edit: Harman-Kardon mod installed in case you need to know. Running Maximus HD 6.0.1 under KK 4.4.3.

No matter what i do its not working on international m8 here?

Great thanks... Worked a treat!

Did you try to do this before using the adb command and failed? I had a similar problem and scotty helped me on his thread.
Try the following. Flash the revert zip first to reset it in case of errors and try the remove zip afterwards

The zip file did its job correctly. I've checked the file you sent me. Are you sure the "TAMPERED" banner is still visible in the bootloader? This does not remove the red text but only the TAMPERED banner. This script just changes one byte and it's already changed

[Q] Please Vote! What bin is your cpu?

With a file explorer, navigate to:
Code:
/d/acpuclk/pvs_bin
And if you are running 4.4.2 KitKat:
Code:
/sys/devices/system/soc/soc0/soc_pvs
There will be a number there 0 - 6
If you are an overclock junkie, higher the number the better.

44 views and not a single vote :/

Probably because:
- some do not overclock.
- some do not root.
- or simply do not care.
All of those apply to me.

So being a nice person is unimportant?
Takes 2 seconds to check, and I need the info.

I was only trying to explain why the several post views and few votes.
I can't vote just because I currently have no root. Good luck.
