No, I don't want the hboot upgraded. Just to make it appear that it has the latest hboot and all, so if taken in to sprint, the tech would be less likely to update it.

Check out Regaw's bootloader customizer. You can make it say whatever you want. Or make it look stock and unaltered.

I think you're giving the sprint techs a little too much credit. I don't think they have the bootloader #'s memorized for each device they sell
. I imagine they are taught that S-OFF, tampered, and UNLOCKED mean rooted. If you are on the most current software version and they do an OTA check it won't find anything to update to
I believe thats what hes talking about. You can't change the H-boot display version to what he is looking for

I agree it shouldn't, but I am on Viper4G and the OTA update was mistakenly left in the last version. :afraid:
I believe you are correct on most techs, not to put them down. There are a lot of good ones, but most probably won't care to check.

FYI, a comment by Captain_Throwback on XDA:
"And, there are at least 2 easy ways to confirm a device is actually S-OFF, even if the bootloader appears S-ON:
- The CID line won't appear in HBOOT if the device is truly S-ON.
- Connect it to a computer, and use the fastboot command "fastboot getvar security". It'll report "security: off". "

That's the latest LazyPanda HBOOT (1.12.2222) edited to look like the latest 1.19 HBOOT. I think someone was asking for it, right?

Aye, Aye, Cap'n! thank you! Looks like a good hex editor too. I haven't used one of those in awhile.
