Flashing a splash screen? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So there is this thread here which simonsickle posted a stock splash screen without the powered by android. I also found this which not sure if it will work on mine. I remember the m7 splash screen I don't think it mattered what version you had as long as your were s-off you could flash the zip on any variant. I have a .zip of my favorite splash screen for my m7. What would be the best way to apply the same zip to the m8? I haven't seen much info about splashing splashes on this phone, so just wondering if anyone has yet. I am s-off ready to go I just don't wanna mess anything up.

Yep.

Ask someone who can create splash screens or maybe take the program to create yourself one and take the one from m7 .... Because I wouldn't risk to try a zip from the m7 on the m8 therefore better ask someone or try yourself to convert

Are these just the files or can I rename as update.zip and flash like I would any other update?
I'm really keen to get rid of the T-Mobile splash screen!
Cheers

hmmm, no i doubt renaming as update.zip would ever work (There's a bit more to it than just naming a file to be honest)
to change your bootscreen (the t-mobile splash you mention) you will need to root your phone, and then put the spl released on nov 24th onto your phone (it's a sticky)
and use the fast boot program to send the required file to your phone in the rgb565 file format.
there is a how to on modaco with some custom bootsplash screens -- with a few submitted by me i might add
check here (if you're a member, otherwise look for the thread "Custom Splash & Boot Screens for the Hero " in the htc hero thread in the android forum

Exactly what lusephur said but for some reason Agent-5 who started to topic he linked to over at MoDaCo seems to have deleted all his posts but you can find out how to do it here although this is for a Dream not a Hero...to reboot into bootloader on the hero it is back and power when switching on.

Err... yeah sure I can give it a go but I warn you I am really bad when it comes to graphics lol so if anyone else wants to create one but not sure on how to make it RGB565 post it and I can convert it.

Cheers for the info guys. I'll have a look at the guide shortly.
No worries about rooting and bootloader, it was the 1st thing I did when I got the phone a few months back

[Q] Changing the pre-boot animation screen.

I've got an O2 Ireland-branded HTC Desire.
This means when I turn it on, the first thing you see is a big O2 logo. After a few seconds this disappears and changes to the the boot animation.
Flashing ROMs changes the boot animation, but it doesn't affect this initial logo.
Does anyone know how to change this logo?
I'm assuming it's stored on some part of the phone which is... hard to change? Is it part of HBOOT? Can it be replaced with the unbranded version?
if your phone is rooted then the easiest way would be to install root explorer and copy and paste the bootanimation zip file you want to use over the original one. or you can buy bootanimation changer app from market and do it that way............sudeki300
I know how to change the boot animation. But that's not the problem. What I'm trying to change is the logo that appears *before* the boot animation. You know, the thing you see the instant you turn your phone on.

Hi, I was in this case,the best way is to re-flash the droid with an original (you will have the HTC logo in place of your operator), after that you can use a custom rom.
Does anyone know which part exactly of the offical HTC update would replace this logo? Is it HBOOT? SPL? Something else?
Could this be extracted from the HTC update and flashed separately?
the only way i know of is to debrand the phone by rooting it and flashing a custom rom. or just get hold of a generic htc desire official rom and flash that....................sudeki300

the file in question is bootanimation.zip. It's not simple to extract it and re-compile the rom; 2 solutions:
- use a kitchen to create your own rom.
- try to replace bootanimation by another one, I try it since few days without success, I'm working on it because the HTC logo is no so sexy.
The original rom from HTC is RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
Not that i know the answer, but just to clear things up:
-he is rooted.
-he has changed bootanimation.zip.
He is talking about the logo before bootanimation. Normally 'HTC' in green, in his case 'O2' (I guess in red).
The question is: where is that 'pre-bootanimation-logo' stored and possibly how to change it?
Flashing rom or flashing bootscreenanimation.zip does not work.

You will have to flash a stock rom and put up with the htc logo, as it stands we cannot flash the splash screen seperately because we do not have an unlocked spl yet

Hello sir - are you saying that I could get rid of the ugly Telstra boot splash screen and replace it with a stock HTC splash screen if I flashed a factory ROM? (Yes, I am talking about the boot splash, and NOT the boot animation).
Anything would be preferable to the splash of a carrier I am not even using.
If so, would I need to re-root, or would I have to de-root first, then re-root?

Is there any new solutions for that ?
The HTC logo is so ugly :/

The unrEVOked team should be coming out with an s-off HBOOT soon, which should allow you change this.

[Q] Last hope for an HTC one x rooting noob :)

Hello everyone,
I have used you guys in the past for other devices but never needed serious help, so here I am stuck in a looping hell
I have an HTC One X that I am trying to root and install the TWRP (I want to have an android that is factory set without the carrier info and bloatware ect)
The utility I am using is the HTC One X (Tegra 3/International) AIO Kit By Hasoon2000 v2.5. Here is my main issue:
I have successfully navigated all the steps to root the phone (Steps 1-5) and now when I boot into the bootloader I see the following,
***TAMPERED***
*** UNLOCKED ***
evita pvt ship s-on rl
hboot-2.14.0000
radio-0.23a.32.09.29
opendsp-v31.1.0.45.0815
emmc-boot
nov 26 2012,18:37:14:-1
Now from here it was my understanding that under "next, flash a recovery" I would simply pick "TWRP" and then click "flash recovery". This seems to work as the green bar in the top right loads briefly. After that I am at a loss. If I go to "bootloader" then go to "recovery" like the instructions say the phone just restarts and I see the Rogers splash screen again...
If it helps, when I try to flash the recovery using the "clockwordmod" it gives me an error "cannot load recoveries/cwm.img"
So to make this easier all I want is my phone to have nothing to do with the carrier on it, all traces of that wiped off at the single file level if possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been at this for almost 6 hours straight
Your phone is not HTC One X International (endeavoru). DON'T flash anything from here or you will brick your phone. You have One X "evita". There is a specific forum at xda for your phone.

I want to root my HTC One X - but I'm scared

Hi everyone.
I've recently been playing with the thought of rooting my HTC One X for the main purpose of getting rid of some of the pre-installed apps and being able to move my apps from the program storage to the phone storage.
I considered myself a pretty techy guy until I started researching what was needed in order to root my phone - I'm not sure I've gotten half the info yet! Which makes me all the more cautious, since I don't want to brick my phone...
Here's what I've done so far:
I unlocked the bootloader on my phone using the official HTC method which required a hell of a lot of work and sending and receiving e-mails. It did reset my phone to stock, but not much else - is this correct?
I've found a ROM I'd like to install on my phone when I get it rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2410320 this bad boy
But from here on out I'm pretty clueless... I find that the more I research, the more things I should consider prior to my rooting-procedure...
In the ROM's description it tells me to have S-OFF, so I googled that and it led me to this article http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.dk/2013/06/do-we-really-need-s-off.html which just made me all the more confused...
As I read it, I don't just have to be aware of my android version (4.2.2) but also my software version (4.17.111.4) - is this correct and if so, how does it affect me?
I've found a couple of guides on how to root my HTC One X with android 4.2.2. but they all seem to be out of date, and besides really poorly written, which makes them all the more difficult to understand
Do you guys know of an up to date guide on how to root a bootloader-unlocked HTC One X?
And also can you guys think of anything else I should consider before trying to root my device?
Thank you very much in advance!

Now you have unlocked bootloader. Copy your new rom to folder on your sd card
1. You must to flash custom recovery like Philz 5.15.9 via computer and fastboot fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
2. Make nandroid backup on your phone in this case you will have backup on your stock rom. You have menu in the custom recovery for this
3. make full wipe format system,data, cache and dalvik cache DON'T FORMAT YOUR SD CARD via recovery and Install the new rom via custom recovery
4. flash the boot.img from your rom archive via computer and fastboot fastboot flash boot boot.img after this run fastboot erase cache
And all this must be in Q&A Section
Just to let you know, there is no official and easy way to S-OFF your HTC One X, you can forget this. (But maybe you already have a S-OFFed device?) For the rest, just look at Thant's post.

After the reboot my htc one M8 lost the room

I have problem with my HTC one M8, i was update my HTC to lollipop and lost my Wifi, in some forum i was recommended to install another room, but after doing that my phone restarts and remains in the logo of HTC, I can do?
Go to your recovery (if you have a custom one) and do a factory reset and reflash the rom

You lost wifi because you updated your ROM without updating your firmware. The only way another ROM will help is if it based on 4.4.4, or whatever firmware you are currently running.
