Help...
So the first time I rooted and flashed my phone it locked in loop and erased my initial boot pic and has an unrevoked pic in place, I think it takes too long to boot as well, anyone ever had this happen and what can I do?

I've rooted a bunch of Evos using unrevoked with no issues. I see you have T-Mobile under your avatar.......you are talking about an Evo, right?
Hi, no, I'm with sprint now, no problems except the damn unrevoked image on initial startup, how can I change that? What have I done to change this, help...

You can search for HTC's boot animation via the Android Development thread for any of the many available boot animations for the EVO 4G. Many of the thread promoting custom roms usually have a boot animation that can be flashed.

Hi everyone
Im looking for some sort of system boot animation. Onstead of the flashing S i wanna see all the code it goes through as its booting up.
Similar to what you see when you boot to recovery mode.
Having said all this ive heard there is one so im assuming there is one BUT ive no idea how to install it so any help there would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

You need to use root explorer (phone must be rooted first) and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media and on next boot animation should appear.

Ive heard there is a possibility of bricking and does it void insurance and warranties?

Bricking, yes, if you don't know what your doing.
Insurance/warranty, no, but read your terms and conditions.
All fixed/covered up with Odin and flashing a stock kernel. Your broken hardware on return isn't going to a CSI lab for investigation. Only your mouth can get you into trouble, if you volunteer to tell them any info that breaks any terms and conditions. Your mouth can also help, say it was a failed Kies update

Ok this sounds do.able. If i root it then change the boot animation then unroot it will the boot animation stay.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Im pretty sure you have to flash a custom Kernel which supports custom boot animations, like Hardcores' SpeedMod.
i havent found a reason not to root...as the options for customizing are endless! from boot animations to themed dialer and swype keyboards....custom ROMs and everything in between....
to answer you question about the boot animation..i think there is one out there...check out Doc & Stefunel's RomKitchen in the Development thread. there is a boot animation thats called BIOS...never used it but it seems like it fits what you're inquiring about....
good luck..
....please hit thanks if this was any help to you....
thanks for infos
Nice one folks im gonna have a think first though. The idea of bricking my £720 phone does not appeal to me haha

I rooted my phone back in november, around the same time everyone else did it, and everything worked fine I suppose. However, lately, I've been having trouble with flashing the newer roms. Sometimes, the market would be missing when I flash a rom. Many times, I'm just stuck in a bootloop. Sometimes, apps malfunction, specifically embeded system media players. I've also had encounters typing text into a text field where the cursor moves to different parts of the field randomly. NONE of these problems have been solved by reflashing the rom. I'm using koush's latest recovery, 3.0.0.5, as well.
However, I don't have the most current hboot version on the g2. The version I have is 0.76blahblahblah. Are these problems being caused by an outdated hboot?

I used the visionary temproot/permroot method on theunlockr.com. I forgot to mention that I actually have the engineering s-off. Could that be why I'm having trouble with the roms?

Check the hboot version. There are different methods for each one.

i dont know how and the phone has no service yet if thats required its just an expensive game/mp3 player till i activate it
Its shown in the bootloader. Hit volume down and power button (while off) to get into it. I suggest you do a little research before proceeding. There are some good threads about rooting the inc2.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA
Thanks and what kind of research would you suggest. Like what should I search for on google? And does entering bootloader mess anything up or is it like recovery where I can just turn the phone off and on again and it'll be normal?

Going into the bootloader doesn't do anything to the phone, you will see your version at the top. Use the volume button to go to Fastboot and then hit power button to select. Go to reboot to get out.
I typedHow to root the incredible 2 into Google and this is what came up. There isn't a whole lot of special searching that needs to be done, the info is there with just a general search.
Hboot version is 0.98.0000 and software number is 5.10.605.9 and its android 2.3.4 any help pointing me to a specific thread or something?

There is a downgrade .98 bootloader in android development thread. You will loose all your data to downgrade and achieve s-off.
Lose data as in phone data or all my apps and stuff?
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
Everything in your sdcard will stay but all your apps will be lost.
Your contacts will be restored after you sign in to your google account and it resyncs.
SMS + MMS will be lost also
Ok thanks for the help guys

So I have been trying without a single success on multiple different root methods on this forum to root my little brother's mt3gs. I have never had this much trouble rooting before and I can't get anything to work at all. Is there any method at all? I'm about to give up.

hello i got a sprint htc evo 4g it keeps freezing it started one day when my phone died i charged it and i turned it on and only went to the homescreen then froze and turned off than turned on by itself and only went to the htc evo screen than stays frozen. i tried to do the power and vol down and it goes to the screen that says LOCKED OWW S-ON screen etc and sometimes freezes there also. what can i do? please help
Has the phone ever been rooted? If not you might try rooting it and installing a custom ROM. You could also have a bad partition on your phone which is why the phone won't boot to the OS. What version is your Hboot?
