[Q] Changing splash screen problems - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having problems trying to change the splash screen. I've tried using the Android SDK tools and am getting :
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
sending 'splash1' (768 KB)...
FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
finished. total time: 0.005s
Have also tried Android AIO Flasher it converts the bnp image all ok but when you try to flash to sd card the process does not complete and hangs half way through. I've tried on a couple of image files and I tried on a couple of HTC desire handsets. Still get the same problem. What am I doing wrong can someone help please ?

[Q] Stuck unable to get into recovery from hboot

Everyone here is awesome.
first off.. I have
hboot0.83.0001
radio-5.09.00.20
I'm stuck at hboot can't get into recovery. I've searched all the possibilities and tried all of them so far. I'm either stuck at black screen or white HTC screen, sometimes with black bar across top sometimes not. I've tried the blind button pusshing and I don't have a gold card made.. so those didn't work. Even had help from a senior member, who was amazing help, just lacked experience with this phone.
We were thinking that we could push recovery from ADB but couldn't get the command lines to work.
Tried these lines so far..
" fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img "
resulted in this error
sending 'recovery' (4230 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))
finished. total time: 0.000s
so we tried this line
fastboot boot recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
and then
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img
which resulted in
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
could someone give me command lines to push recovery to the phone?
Or if needed an alternate out.. probably using ADB me thinks
as a side note, yes I've searched and yes I've tried other things. But none of the answers work. For some reason ADB doesn't recognize my device as being there, but when I search through fastboot it does... just get those error messages. Hoping a genius sees this and knows the issue

<Remote: Partition does not exist!> During Splash Screen Flash

Hi everyone
Having trouble with these commands. I reinstalled Windows the other day and I cant get it set up properly now. It worked perfectly before.
I have installed Android SDK, the platform-tools pack which has ADBWinAPI.dll in it and I have the Java development installed.
Here is what happens when I try to flash a splash screen:
...android-sdk/tools/fastboot flash splash splash1.img
sending 'splash' [750kb] ...
OKAY [ 0.176 s]
writing 'splash' ...
FAILED <remote: partition does not exist!>
finished. total time: 0.0227s
I haven't seen this happen before.
If anybody can give me some advice I would be very grateful.
The partition name is 'splash1' (not 'splash'), so if your image is called splash1.img the correct command would be:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

Hi
Thanks very much for the reply. However I managed to flash it by putting it in a blank PD98IMG.zip.
Thanks anyway

Could be a bad download. Re download the img and try again,
TIP: Rename the img to something like "recovery.img". (A lot easier to type in cmd!!)
thanks for the reply... i've tried downloading multiple times and each time it doesn't work mmmm... just tried downloading again and still the same error
What do you mean 'the phone hangs'?
Have you booted into fastboot mode with the 'fastboot usb' showing in red?
Hi guys!
I FOUND THE SOLUTION! I plugged the phone into a different usb socket and it worked! Weird... i think it was the usb hub that was causing the issue.... possibly due to a faulty/lack of power port? not sure... but now i get
sending 'recovery' (5786 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.845s]

Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Softbricked(?) GNex, cwm restarts etc.

My phone stuck while using so as usual I pulled out the battery and it was his end. From then on bootanimation glitched and the phone restarted all over again. Sth like a bootloop but with complete phone restart. Then I tried to full wipe but with no luck, recovery hung and rebooted the phone. Even now restoring/zip installing etc suddenly restarts the phone. I also tried to flash new recovery/rom via fastboot as well as via Nexus Root Toolkit but everytime I got 'too many links error'
Flash Stock + Unroot...

I used two different cables that I use for every flashing so far, and different usb slots... I have no idea what else I can do.
Sth has changed, I tried to flash TWRP instead of CWM via fastboot and again, got 'too many links' error BUT it flashed the new recovery anyway . So now I have TWRP, managed to flash cm 10.2.1+gapps. I have a recovery log for sb to analyze. Could you check if my emmc is corrupted telling ftom this log?

EDIT/
A second ago it booted to system in a normal way, then a sudden restart and the phone is stuck while boot animation, like a catch 22...

[Bricked] Samsung Galaxy Nexus GT-I9250.

Hi XDA!
I'm trying to unbrick my old Galaxy Nexus GT-i9250 without success.
Already tried several ways, "ODIN, FastBoot/NexusToolKit", with multiple ROMs from 4.0.1 to 4.4.4. The device powers on and stays on Google screen for hours then it turn off automatically.
When I write a new ROM it goes into a boot-loop, then again freezes on Google screen.
Can anyone help me to unbrick this device? I'm losing hope..
Trying to use TWRP with no luck, still getting default "factory" Recovery Mode. It seems that my device is not getting writted by fastboot/ODIN? (tried several TWRP images, from twrp-2.1.0-maguro-signed.zip and up)
D:\temp\cell\platform-tools-v16>fastboot devices
<REDACTED> fastboot
D:\temp\cell\platform-tools-v16>fastboot oem unlock

sending 'recovery' (5670 KB)...

Please help?
