[Q] Remove annoying CDROM mounts? - HTC Droid DNA

I tried to search but didn't see anything here. I remember having this issue on another phone but forgot how to fix (not an issue with my Nexus or S3). So anyone figured out how to stop the annoying images from mounting everytime I plug in USB?

I believe you need to remove the CD.iso file.
Once I get my DNA I'll make a bloat free ROM with that and vol wake fixed.

Yup, delete those and no more annoying pop-ups.

Sorry to hijack a topic, but I didn't want to create another forum for the same question.
But, how can this be made possible? Do we have to wait for S-Off? (Still kind of new to this whole thing)
I have tried deleting the .ISO files through Root Explorer, no avail.
I tried to use Rexdog's De-Bloating Mod modified slightly to indicate a deletion of the two .ISO files. (I left everything the same except for the "/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script" File.)
I modified that single file to say this,
Code:
ui_print("Removing Bloatware");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p32", "/etc");
package_extract_dir("etc", "/etc");
show_progress(1, 15);
delete("/etc/CDROM.ISO", "/etc/PCTOOL.ISO");
ui_print("Unmounting Filesystems . . .");
unmount("/etc");
ui_print("Finished");
I was going off on a whim by editing the single file and hoping that it would work, but it doesn't appear to have worked. Is there something I was missing, or something else?

That's only going to work until you reboot. /system is write protected. You have to go onto recovery mount /sys as writeable and use adb to delete the 2 files.

Make sure you install the htc drivers (htc sync is not required) which is the first option when you plug in your phone to the pc.
Assuming you have usb debugging enabled and downloaded the android sdk http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#win-bundle and extracted the zip.
Navigate to the platform-tools folder inside /adt-bundle-windows-x86_64/sdk/platform-tools/
In an empty space inside that folder hold down shift and right click, then select open command window here.
Now in the command window type:
adb devices (your devices serial # should be displayed)
adb reboot recovery
On the phone select: mounts and storage, then: mount /system
Now in the command window type each of the following:
adb pull /system/etc/CDROM.ISO
adb pull /system/etc/PCTOOL.ISO
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/etc/CDROM.ISO
rm /system/etc/PCTOOL.ISO
exit
adb reboot
You have now made copies of both of these files on to your pc and removed them from your phone.
To restore these files open a command window and mount /sys in recovery as shown above then:
adb push CDROM.ISO /system/etc
adb push PCTOOL.ISO /system/etc
