Unhappy Test Only Not For Sale

Greetings All!

Apparently during my flashing of ROM's I've added the message "Test Only Not For Sale" in a fancy red scripted font while booting up my Diamond. They show up at the same time as the words "HTC Diamond" appear on the screen.

I Googled around and have tried a couple of odds and ends but I haven't found much of anything that is Diamond-specific. A couple of the suggestions have scared me.

What's my easiest and/or best solution to remove this message? Just flashing new ROM's doesn't help.

Cheers, Henri

hey henri, you must change your "boot screen" or "splash", try searching for those terms and do a little bit of reading, and you'll b absoloutely fine and will have the knowledge on how to get it out. Let me know how it works out. Goodluck

Flashing the new boot image will hard reset your phone as well. So backup your info.

Re: Test Only Not For Sale

Thanks everyone!

This was not the first time that my failure to search for an answer was due to my lack of knowing what words or terms to look for.

That said, I only found the actual words (see title) in only one unhelpful thread in all of PPCGeeks. Even the OMJ post only refers to the issue as "test". I did find a lot more at our friends over at xda-developers but they were usually talking about phones other than the Diamond.

Fortunately I was paranoid and backed up everything hours ago because I didn't read the post warning me about the hard reset until after-the-fact.

Everything seems cool now.

Cheers, Henri

Re: Test Only Not For Sale

There are at least 2 more boot screen options that I know of, other than flashing to stock.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062

Scroll down until you see "Upgrade your splash:"

There's a really cool boot screen made by CMONEX and also a very nice minimalistic one by Tobeychris.

Personally, I kind of like the "test" screen!

But the new radio can be flashed at any time- no Hard reset required.


Or maybe you were just kidding???

True. But no point in flashing the radio again if you don't have to. Just flash to the new boot screen, and your done!
