Root TWRP question

I installed TWRP on my htc one m8 (Verizon) and every time I turn on my phone it shows in red letters "this is for develepors only" on the HTC screen. My phone died and when I plugged it in it showed the same message along with a battery (meaning its charging) then showed recovery then went back to the battery.

Is there any way I can fix this???

Are you s-off?
 
I'm curious, does it always show the recovery and then flicker back to the battery? Does it do this more than once while charging in offmode? I experienced the same and had to update the source with a newer offmode_charge binary as well as include a proper init.rc file which insured the binary would be accessible from /sbin. After that, the problem was resolved and offmode charging works like it is suppose to.

Not sure if you have experience in building TWRP from source but if you do, I would give that a go and see the results.

I haven't fixed the issue yet and it happens every time phone dies. I plug it in, I see the battery with a 0% as well as that red text. It then shows recovery for maybe a second then back to the battery then remains there. Every time. When I turn it on It shows the red text again but no recovery
 
ah! i get this also - when charging with phone powered off - is that what you are doing? fix for me is to only charge with phone on :) which i do anyway

Yeah that's what I'm doing. Sense posting this thread I read something about changing your tampered flag to get rid of red text, maybe that would be a fix? I haven't tried yet to know.
 
Removing the red text may fix it but ultimately it comes down to the TWRP source used to build with. Either needs updating or a quick fix. Like I said, I had the same issue. Was a matter of replacing the offmode_charging binary from the source with the one from the most recent stock recovery image. Then, I included the init.rc and insured that the binary could be found within the /sbin directory of the ramdisk used in conjunction of the twrp recovery image.

Once everything in the source was established as it should be I simply built TWRP and voila, offmode charging was working like it was suppose to :-).
