[Q] Changing splash image / boot animation ( HBOOT 2.10 / 3.70 OTA )

Hello! I rooted my Week old EVO that came with 2.10.0001 HBOOT and last night following the instructions on this thread and everything worked perfect, but Im having trouble changing the boot splash image and boot animation.
First, I tried using this method:
- Move the splash screen file (.rgb565) to sdk/tools folder
- Power off device
- Boot up into boot loader (hold volume down key while pressing power)
- Navigate to "FASTBOOT" with the volume keys and press the power button
- Plug device in (you'll see "FASTBOOT USB" highlighted in red)
- Open a command window in Windows (Windows key + r then type "cmd.exe")
- Prompt to sdk/tools
- Now type this into adb window to install splash screen:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But it gives me this error:
sending 'splash1' (750 KB)... OKAY
writing 'splash1'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And then tried this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9633485&postcount=6
But after the bootloader reads the PC36IMG.zip file it just goes back to the menu and does not give me the option to flash it.
Is it even possible to change the splash image with HBOOT 2.10??
And then my other issue is changing the boot animation. This is the one I want to use and used the procedure explained in the thread. It seems to go through fine but the default animation from the rom Im using keeps showing up. Is the file structure different on the new OTA or something (Im using VirusROM REVOlution Z RC1 PORT 1.34) ? Ive changed this on my old EVO with no problems.
Thanks for any help!

[Q] Please help. possible brick

hey guys i just wana ask for help couse its really urgent.
i wanted to go back to stock and install ru on my desire.
i was on alpharev s-off and cm partitions runing insertcoin and was having no problem.
then installed htc sync and runed RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe and it stoped with error.
now when i turn on the phone i just feel the normal vibration when it starts and the screen doesnt start at all. im stuck.
in device manager as soon as it turns up i get android boatloader interface device.
i think its becouse ive installed an older ruu on SLCD device and using the search engine i found out its not compatible with new versions of Bravo.
but please help what should i do to fix it? can i push somehow the new ruu in the phone or what? please go step by step couse im really new at this

fastboot
now ive read how to install fastboot and when i run fastboot devices i get a response that HT08VPL01168 fastboot so it means ive managed to go in fastboot mode and the phone is not dead? what next?

Can you access HBOOT? (Power on with volume down selected)
If you can, connect your phone via USB and run the following RUU:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Bravo&file=RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
I'm presuming that you've already created a goldcard? (if you're phone originally came branded, you'll require one.)

re
no i dont need goldcart its unlocked and unbranded phone.
but i cant access nothing cous the display shows nothing. the only thing ive managed is with back+power to enable fastboot mode of the phone and connect using usb cable with fastboot on my pc. when i run the fastboot devices in my command prompt it shows the phone so it means its runing. how can i push the ruu in the phone from my pc only using the pc?

Have you tried powering on with volume down, waiting 20-30 seconds, connecting your phone via usb and then running the RUU provided above?
EDIT: follow this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831734

Good point - in that case, I would personally try booting with volume down, wait 20-30 seconds, press and release the power button once to select fastboot, connect your phone via USB and then run the RUU.

re
i run the ruu in fastboot using power+back but i cant see nothing in the display. the only response i get in the PC. and when i runned fastboot oem gencheckpt i got response the device manager changed to my htc and shows htc desire phone found. before that it was showing like i mentioned above. but now when i start the ruu i get conection error 170. strange. is there a command to flash the ruu or the pb99.img using fastboot smthng like fastboot push pb99.img for flash?

Try flashing with a PB99IMG.zip: http://shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Bravo&file=PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
I quote from the guide I referred to earlier:
5. What is PB99IMG.zip? How do I use it?
It is the actual ROM in zip format. You need to put it in the root of your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then, when you start phone by Back Button + Power button (Fastboot), this file is automatically found by the device and prompts you to update ROM with this file. Note that you may need a gold card. Note also that in Windows, if you try renaming the file, it may get renamed to PB99IMG.zip.zip. Delete the extra trailing extension.

And quoting this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880268
FOR INSTALLING ANY RUU AS PB99IMG.ZIP
Press Vol- , then w/o releasing it, press Power button + Vol –
After 3-4 secs, the following screen shows up momentarily:
· Fastboot
· Recovery
· Clear Storage
· Simlock
This shows the above few options for 2-3 seconds, and then directly checks for PB99IMG.ZIP. It displays:
SD Checking…
Loading…
PB99DIAG.ZIP
Pb99DIAG.nbh
PB99IMG.ZIP
When it finds PB99IMG.zip, it starts to load it (13 secs after you press the Vol- & power key)
It gives the next options after 2min 20seconds (for the WWE 2.29 RUU) from the initial key press of Vol- and Power key.
Parsing………………….[SD zip]
1. Bootloader
2. Radio V2
3. Radio_Cust
4. Boot
5. Recovery
6. System
7. Userdata
8. Splash1
9. Splash2
Do you want to update device?
<Vol Up> Yes
<Vol Down> No
So, net key sequences involved:
· Back+Power
· Power again
· Vol Up
If we chose No, next option:
Do you want to reboot device?
<Vol Up> Yes
<Vol Down> No
If you pressed Yes, then:
Update is in progress..
Do not power off your device.
1. Bootloader -OK
2. Radio V2 -OK
3. Radio_Cust -OK
4. Boot -OK
5. Recovery-Unzipping/Updating
6. System
7. Userdata
8. Splash1
9. Splash2
It cycles through each of these in turn. For me, it took exactly 2 min 17 secs for time when I chose to apply update, to when update was completed.
(Note: At times, it may update the bootloader and reboot. If you have an SLCD screen, when the device reboots, you may not see anything onscreen (black). At this point, it is notable that the device boots to Fastboot instead of Bootloader, so you will need to press Power button again to get it to resume the update process. Once it completes, you will be presented the options to reboot the device. So you just need to Press Vol + after some time)
It displays:
Update complete
So you want to reboot device?
<Vol Up> Yes
<Vol Down> No

The boot loader was the official 2.3 and that was then S-OFFed with Revolutionary, that then had the Oxygen R2 HBOOT Partion table on it.
Now I ran the 2.3 update on the wrong phone.
The HBOOT Currently says Alpharev Oxygen r2
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-4.06.00.00.02_2
Aug 10 2010 17:52:18
Then is just says RRU instead of the usual options
When I first turn it on, it shows a black screen with white HTC and 4 ! in triangles in the corner.
I've been told this is bad...

If I try to run the updater, it eventuaklly goes to recover mode and says its fixed but its not.
I get this on the desire screen
[1] RADIO_V2 OK
[2] SPLASH1 - OK
[3] RECOVERY - OK
[4] SPLASH2 - OK
[5] RADIO-CUST - OK
[6] BOOTLOADER - Bypassed
[7] USERDATA - OK
[8] SYSTEM - Fail-PU
[9] BOOT - ok
Partition update fail!
Update fail!

Maybe a full wipe helps. And it could be that you derooted your handy. In this case you had to run unrevoked again.
Good luck

If it help I made a NAND backup lastnight...

Try running the RUU again. Btw, you need to have HTC Sync installed.

U have the oxygen hboot, its too small for the stock gingerbread rom
Flash the downgrader hboot from alpharev.nl (otherwise the ruu CANT overwrite the alpharev oxygen hboot), then run the ruu

How do I go about flashing it? Everything seem pretty broke..
Any surely the RRU should be repartitioning the HBOOT to the correct size?

Nothing is broken..U have to read again alpharev.nl
Download from alpharev the file PB99IMG_downgrade.zip and following instruction:
http://alpharev.nl/
You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It will ask u to apply the update, then accept it (volume keys to navigate, power button to confirm)
After that ur hboot can be overwritten by the ruu..and the ruu will work fine

The thing is I have already added the file to my SD Card. Now when I boot my phone, the VERY first thing it does is a black screen with HTC in white. and in the corners are 4 ! in triangles, The only way to see the HBOOT Screen from there is to connect a USB cable and unplug, on that screen I have no options to do anything!
I dont even have anything I can record a video on to show you, Arrrgh this is annoying. HTC would like money out of me for a "non-warranty issue"

Did u boot the phone in hboot? remove battery, plug again, press and hold volume down then press and hold also the power button..it should boot soon in the hboot and ask u for an update

Yes im positive, I have done it many many times before.
And what im getting here is not what you would normally get
HTCs customer support is terrible! Seriously do not want to be charged to get it fixed never mind a bloody shipping and handling fee!!

oh..i see..how about flash the hboot img (instead of the zip) with fastboot command?

Sure point me to what I need and where I can find it and I shall give that a try

Download this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=630611&d=1308537074
It contain a mininal set of files in order to use fastboot, without installing the android sdk
Then download this http://alpharev.nl/bravo_downgrade.img and put in the same extracted directory above..
Boot ur phone in hboot mode and plug the usb (u said with the usb plugged u see the hboot usb)..then from a command prompt from ur pc, go in the directory above and type: fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img
If that is successfull..u can run an ruu, and it should restore everything, even the hboot now!

Am I missing a trick I run it and it shows on screen for a split second.
And if it doesn't fix it?!
Nevermind think I remebered how to do it...

[Q] Help rooting Wildfire S please

Hi All
Spent most of yesterday trying to root the good lady's phone, using http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1195275 Much more difficult than I thought! I have got as far as having unlocked the bootloader but when I try Flashing the Custom Recovery UI, I get "CID incorrect" Researched what this meant and have now managed to create a goldcard and have tried again with this card fitted in the phone but nothing seemed to happen so I copied the PG76.IMG file on to the sd card and tried again. This time I get some action the message i get is "Main version is older", please see attached image if anyone can help me out I would be most grateful. Many thanks.

Since you have unlocked it, download the recovery image of CWM and the root.zip. Then, considering you have the fastboot files, type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
Then boot into recovery and flash the root.zip from there. I'll give you more detailed instructions tomorrow, if you need them, since I'm on my phone now.

Hi Tyr Fifteen thanks for coming back to me. I have the files on the PC I am connected to and when I run the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
the cmd window shows waiting for device and sits at that for ages >10 minutes?
The phone is telling me that it is in HBOOT USB PLUG highlighted in blue and also says FASTBOOT the same with a blue background. If I kill the cmd nothing still happens at the phone screen. Your help is much appreciated thanks.

After it shows HBOOT USB PLUG, it's highlighting FASTBOOT right? Press power and enter Fastboot mode.
The HBOOT USB PLUG should change to FASTBOOT USB. If it remains FASTBOOT, (re)install the drivers. It's waiting for the device to be in fastboot, it wont work in HBOOT mode.

I guess I must have not known that I needed to press the power button, the guides for rooting all assume a lot of knowledge that the new user needs, but does not have. Is there a guide that hand holds you through the whole process. I will try again when I have access to the phone this evening. If I do need to install the drivers, is there a guide I can refer to please?

For the drivers download and install htc sync. Then uninstall htc sync, if you wish. That's all. But since it shows HBOOT usb plug, I think the drivers are already installed.

Hi Tyr Fifteen
I seem to go from one issue to another, on a positive note you were right about the drivers as the phone was waiting to be in fastboot, when I hit the power button it went ahead and pushed the recovery image to the phone, at last! Now I show recovery version 5.0.2.8 and when I select "install zip from sdcard" I just see the CWM bowler hat and nothing happens? In fact CWM recovery does not respond if I select any of the options in the menu. I have to take out the battery before I can restart as normal. Any ideas please? Please see enclosed pictures showing menu and result of selection of any item

Maybe you should try it again I used this utilitie to root my phone a long time ago. It worked great.

I came across this tool before but as there was no info on how to use it, i did not bother. How is the phone connected and what are the prerequisites etc. Do I connect to the phone by usb and then put the phone in fast boot usb and run the batch file in the tool?

Connect your phone with your computer, activate usb-debugging in your setting and than start the "one click.bat". I hope, i could help.

Hi
I have just managed to download the correct Recovery image as suggested and it appears to have installed correctly.
Code:
c:\WFS>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4494 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.700s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.200s]
finished. total time: 3.900s
I have then removed the battery for a couple of minutes, restarted while holding down the volume minus.
I get the white screen showing hboot at the top highlighted in blue and fastboot highlighted in blue further down.
The sd card is then checked? and I can then select recovery and press the power button.
I then wait for the recovery options but all I am seeing is a white screen saying HTC followed by a black screen with all the four screen button lights on?
There is no mention of any recovery options at all.
Has something gone horribly wrong?

When did you buy the phone? I guess its 2012... Because that model is nasty. You need to flash a modified recovery for it. Search a topic in general section I think. You can't flash cm ROMs. only stock based ROMs, sadly. However, there are few 2012 lucky guys who can. Try that recovery and try installing cm9 or 10. If it works, good for you, and if it doesn't, oh well.
Good luck.

Hello everybody,
I have a huge problem with my Desire : I cannot install any Ruu on it and I have the "error 152 : image update error". I tried and read many things but the probleme is that the phone is S-ON. So I cannot install a recovery image and cannot either access to the fastboot because I don't have one (I only have "RUU" on my screen).
So when I try to install the Ruu.exe I get this message :

I'm experiencing the same problem the difference is that I'm with the latest official version.Before I tried to install any RUU's the phone was booting in normal mode everytime I start it now it boot's on RUU mode with the black logo and the triangles on the all 4 corners. I tried the command fastboot oem boot and it boots but the it turns off and reboots at RUU mode the problem is that when pressing volume down and the power button I can not access the hardware reset menu.

If u have the same problem "RADIO_V2 - Fail-PU" then its hardware fault. The fact that ur phone just reboots to ruu mode u definitly have hardware problem. U can keep trying to flash the 2.3gb upgrade from htcdev and hope it boots but if it does then it wont last long till it starts rebooting itself. Only real fix is new motherboard.
