[Q]Get rid of "This is test device... Tell HTC can not be turned off" ? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDAers
In Settings-Tell HTC- at the bottom there is a warning that says
This is a test device. Accordingly, to collect critical information about the device, Tell HTC is enabled and cannot be turned off regardless of device settings
I have read this is due to S-OFF or due to custom hboot. Is there any way we can save some battery by disabling this? Can we freeze/uninstall Tell HTC? Any ideas?

search the dev forums, a methods been posted already

Been searching for a day now can't find a clear answer any link/help appreciated thanks

There is a HBOOT modification hack that will remove that red text, but it's dangerous if you forgot you did it. With the modified HBOOT, taking an OTA that installs a new HBOOT will automatically perma brick your device. You have to go back to stock HBOOT before updating any OTA's if you're on stock ROM.

Whist this has gotten rid of the red warning when entering fastboot, I was asking about the red text in the settings->about->Tell HTC and error reporting. Screenshot added.

i read somewhere that the sign is due to s-off and also if u get your device s-on again , the the red writing will go..
i didn't try that

Correct it's due to s off... I think and I could be very wrong but...devices with s off are seen as engineering devices and such

I can confirm that going s-on makes the message go away.

And we can't go S-OFF again on 2.24 base

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 (notice the space)
Also make sure that fastboot is in your $PATH (on *UX) or %PATH%. You can try going to the folder (in command line) where fastboot resides before running the above command. The problem may be that you get "Device not found", case in which you have not selected "fastboot" from the menu (which seems to be the case of @rt1990 ). The menu should read "fastboot usb" i believe before writesecureflag will work.
Warnings:
1. Make sure that your hboot is stock! S-ON on custom hboot = you're screwed (brick).
2. If you upgrade to 4.2.2 you won't be able to get S-OFF back since the updated hboot does not currently work with revone!
3. Before S-ON run again revone -t to remove tampered flag (just in case)
3. If you have "TAMPERED" appearing after s-on/bl locked you must run a RUU for your device to make it go away (i have it and there is no 4.2.2 RUU that i can run to confirm this though)
What i'd suggest you is to take the advice and remove the damn apk from system and tell htc will completely go away. I could afford going back to S-ON/Locked BL because i won't run any custom roms. I have rooted my device but i have no use for root either

From @kazprotos' post above (quoting from the link he posted): Regarding Tell HTC app, delete the Udove.apk in system/apps.

i have the same message...are there any different methods to root it or same method as others?

Read the post above you. removing the apk is the best way to get rid of the Tell HTC message if you want to stay S-OFF.

It's already solved.

Reboot to fastboot.
Flash custom Recovery.
Flash superuser script.
Flash whatever ROM.

Just run revolutionary. Flash custom recovery. Flash Superuser script and you're good to go.
Also stop posting the same issue multiple times. Its possibly the easiest way to piss another XDA member off. Post once about your issue in the general forum and DO NOT post again somewhere else.

Yea. That tutorial is very clear about hand holding for a reason... It's very vague That's why there are tons of other guides.
Your bootloader needs to be locked to flash ruu.zips unless it's the specific one that matches your cid and you're s-off. From the pic it says you're unlocked and your cid is tmobiles cid not the Google plays cid. Also you said you can reboot fine. That means you never flashed anything. Consider yourself lucky. Unplugging and rebooting on certain errors while in ruu mode can easily lead to a bricked phone. Don't do that unless you know exactly what your error is.

Thanks for the info, so pretty much all I need to do is lock the bootloader and change the cid? also, by locking the bootloader, does that fix the connection issue? cause I can't get fastboot usb to get detected by my pc, every time it says the device malfunctioned or something.
EDIT: Just locked the bootloader, I still can't get fastboot to work.
EDIT 2: I tried fastbook on a Mac and it worked right away, was able to change CID. Now I'll attempt to flash the RUU.
EDIT 3: SUCCESS! A mod can please close this thread now.

[Solved][Q] S-Off Hboot 1.55

Hi and sorry if I am misplacing this question.
I have been trying for hours to get my phone to "S-Off" without any luck.
I have gone over 10-15 different tutorials but none of them work.
Htc One
HBoot 1.55
Anyone who knows a proper guide to the entire unlock/root/s-off procedure?
I can't watch the youtube tutorial due to youtube lag.

I used to get the same error.
I restarted my laptop (and didn't open or use anything else but just ran the script) and the problem was solved.
Apparently, there was another application that was using adb in the background and was not killed, so after restarting my laptop i didn't get this error anymore.

Hmm not quite sure, but can you write all the information shown on your bootloader?
Make sure you keep the screen alive during the process and hit allow when super user permissions are requested.
Same happened to me, because i let the screen turn off and rum runner couldnt get su.

Stuck at No OS Installed

Hello guys, first of. Sorry if this was answered a million times already.
Second, I have an issue I've been trying to solve for 3 days now.
3 days ago I was trying to flash a new ROM to my already-rooted HTC One (M7).
I copied all the files as usual and before I flash the new ROM I went to wipe cache, etc.
The problem is that I retardly wiped my system and "memory card" too...
Now Im stuck with no OS. and since the HTC One doesnt use a SD card, I need to use fastboot to transfer files.
Now my problem is: Files dont transfer...
I tried locking the bin, unlocking it again, I can access my TWRP recovery menu and tried to use Sideload. Nothing works.
I pretty much get stuck with this error:
Code:

^ The above is just an example of me trying to install a new recovery, but same thing applies to "push files" and so on...
Ive done my homework and the only conclusion I can draw from all these hours of frustration is that my phone, somehow disabled USB debugging. Therefore the files cannot be copied.
:::EDIT:::
Oh, I forgot to add. I also followed the guides from: http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-unrootunbrick-the-htc-one-to-stock-2/
As I go trough the steps I get an error after running the step #3 into installing the RUU (6:00 onto the video). After I get the "Verifying phone if its connected to PDA..." I get an error that says "Your phone battery is lower than 30%, please charge your phone and try again". But the thing is that my phone is at 100% battery.
Also, the information on my phone itself is:

Same thing happened to me, turns out I was using an outdated RUu. Make sure it is the latest one.
I personally updated my hboot and installed the latest RUU available and then updated my phone. But I wasn't interested in getting s-off, I just wanted a stock phone.

I cant find anywhere the latest version though.
The only version I find is version: 3.04.651.2
I cant find any other except older ones.
:::EDIT:::
I also used the 2 versions from sprint posted on this site: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/ruu-file-downloads/
and I still get this error:
Code:
ERROR [120]: MAIN BATTERY POWER
This error message will appear when the Android phone’s battery power is not sufficient (Batter power should be more than 30%). Although RUU will instruct you to plug in the AC adapter, it will still need to make sure that your Android phone has enough power to complete the update. (The Android phone cannot charge the battery when it is connected to the PC while installing the RUU).

if you are s-on you'll need the stock recovery( I think) also and have your bootloader locked

My bootloader is locked, I can lock or unlock at will. But its locked.
As far as recovery goes, I have TWRP. How would I go about getting it back to stock recovery without the ability of going back to stock ROM/Recovery ?

i'm not quite sure you need stock recovery or not, but you flash it in fastboot the same as twrp. the stock recovery is here in the forums somewhere I can't remember where, maybe someone will chime in here who knows for sure if you need it or not.

Thanks for the reply, I tried flashing this and nothing changed. I was actually using your Viper's ROM prior to me running into this issue >_<!
Anyway, as stated in post #1. This is the error I run into whenever I try to push or flash anything to the phone:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This happens with both modes, with Locked OEM and Unlocked OEM.
The "error" is that it can hang there for hours without actually copying anything to the phone. lol
This also applies whenever I try to use TWRP's Sideload. I get the same result: "Sending to x..."

Have you tried using USB-OTG to flash a ROM? Make sure your bootloader is unlocked before you flash though.
Recovery shouldn't matter because when you install an RUU the recovery is replaced with stock. I don't understand your battery issue though.

Don't think it would matter but maybe make sure everything is utd on your SDK manager.

I just ordered the USB adapter from amazon. It will take 3-5 weeks to get here... -_-
In the meantime I hope there is an actual fix to it.
As for the battery error:
After I get this screen:
I get this:
My battery is at 100%
Have you tried another USB cable in the first place?
It could be something as simple as that.

+1 I have seen weird issues with poor quality or bad USB cables.
---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------
Maybe try this:
Unlock the Device
Flash CWM
Recharge the Phone to 100%
Reset Battery Stats (Honestly unsure if the HTC One CWM has this option)
Lock
Flash the stock recovery
Flash the RUU
...
Profit
I tried multiple ports and multiple cables.
While doing troubleshoots I found that adb does seem trying to move them but I get an "Permission Denied error"

According to the OS in your bootloader screen you are on JB 3.62.401.1 the RUU provided is a higher version than what is presently on your phone. Since, you are S-ON you can only run an RUU that is the same or higher than your OS. Yes, it may wipe your information.
Connect your PC to your phone via the USB cable
Double-click the RUU.exe file on your computer
Follow the on-screen instrutions
