I'm quite sure that I did both of them without any problems. The splash screen shows for a very long time until the animated boot screen takes over.

what you on about? don't tell me to search! i asked a question so if you didn't wanna answer just don't post. we don't need people like that on here. if you help then help.............. hate people like that. i help many people both on msn and in forum. i never tell anyone to do anything as its their choice.
hmmmmmmmmm if you read what i asked for then you would have replied accordingly. not your fault mate! total waste of a post!
edit: **** don't think that was meant for me............ apologies! still no need for the higher than thou attitude

Going to create some for you they are going to be here:
http://ostebaronen.dk/android/splash/
just download the raw565 files for flashing, to preview look at the other files.
EDIT: There should be 5 of them now. I can convert them for you if you supply me the image through a link or something.

sounds nice.
Did try the tutorial that was linked a few posts up but all i got was wrong digest when i tried to flash it.
Any ideas ?
i've already flashad splash1 but its not possible to flash splash2 atm. Atleast not on the htc branded Saphire

C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash splash2 android_boot_image_black2.raw565
sending 'splash2' (300 KB)... OKAY
writing 'splash2'... FAILED (remote: partition does not exist!)

Maybe I didn't flash the splash2 afterall. Because I get the same error. Though the second splash image belongs to the ROM, so you should be able to alter that too. Let me investigate!

yea like i stated earlier i did try to alter skittleguys 1.4 with a diff splash but when i applied the update it just came back with wrong digest on the frame-res.apk

Ok, seems like the other boot screen comes from /system/media/boot.gif let me try to alter it to an other one Be right back with results.

Yep thats the one. Instructions are in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3918162

ohh havnt tried replacing that gif, will do not though. would be nice to hear how i fix the wrong digest if its possible
EDIT: replaced gif but that screen last for a whole 2s. i wanna replace the one in frame-res.apk but atm just getting wrong digest

Mine lasts until it finishes booting... Let me investigate your problem though...

Did you resign it after you altered it? Also resign every apk inside it?
EDIT: Yeah, every thread that says something about No digest or wrong digest states that means the package hasn't been signed correctly. You have to sign every apk packages inside the apk file, and the apk file itself.

Yes. Cause you flashed a new HBoot.
You should wait, while romcookers will find way to downgrade new hboot
or repacked rom to flash properly to all customers, not only taiwanese.

I think it is time to clear things out:
DO NOT FLASH / UPDATE THIS ROM TO YOUR DEVICES!!!! - This means: Wait for someone to release correct ROM Updates to your devices. This official update is ONLY for TW devices. When you decide to flash something to your devices you should be very sure that you are not doing a stupid move! If someone tells you not to do it then you should hear that! Flashing something isn't like dressing a tshirt, and this means that if you choose a wrong size tshirt you can always take it off and dress another that fits you right. Flashing something that doesn't fit your device can easily brick it! Be aware!

Yes we already know this! But it is too late! So please tell us how to fix the mess we have created!

I agree don't do stupid things in excitement. If you have eng spl etc by flashing all imgs )boot, radio etc) you may brick your device, so please please be careful wait for a update.zip file from greats mods like drizzy, eugene etc.

Once again I want to point that the purpose of this thread is help theese of us that DID the flash NOT knowing that it will NOT work!

In my understanding the only thing you can do is to wait the official htc EU flasher (HTC said around mid November) and see if it's able to replace everything loading a proper radio/spl on the bricked device, acting on a lower level.
Otherwise you would just keep that expensive plastic brick ...
I am sorry, i was also eager to upgrade, but if HTC let you download their flasher only with a proper TW serial number, and if they've already advertised that you need to wait 2 or 3 weeks more for european firmware, then there should be a reason: so I didn't.
Hope you will be able to fix, but I am not too confident: guess you will need service.

It's ALIVE!!!! I have no idea how or why, but after tons of failed attempts and failed fastboot commands i now have the 3.03 update on my scandinavian 32a which i thought was bricked!

i have no idea what actually did it, but it is possible that it was because i did a adb logcat command while the 3.03 update was running..
I can see that i have the 1.76 spl, and the new radio (which kept failing on me before)

i have try now to do adb logcat while update is running, but adb continuos stay in waiting for device, or say adb server is out to date ecc

Strange thing... adb logcat simply outputs log into console... How outputing logs can affect to flashing properly?
p.s. please post your full SPL-info too.
p.p.s. I think we need get right order to flashing this update. You tried to flash images via fastboot. What order do you have at first (boot - 1, radio - 2, system -3)?
What did you do at last?

i can't accesso to fastboot mode beacuse the phone stay in RUU USB ..

[DEV] r/w access to /system [SuperCID]

Hi folks!
My desire should arrive within a week or so. The past days i tried to collect as much data about getting full root-access with r/w access to /system.
We probably need a modified SSPL and a HardSPL. So far i've tried to contact cmonex, gauner1986 and haykuro to help us here.
So there is the first question to you (desire owners): Do we have jtag on the desire? Haykuro asked me; jtag is required otherwise testing is impossible.
Haykuro said:
you guys got jtag on it? If not it'd be brick heaven as we work on that

UPDATE 1:
We found one device with r/w-access to /system, but we don't know where the security flag is set, so we can't set it to "normal" phones.
Adam235 is currently analyzing the dumped files.
UPDATE 2:
ahmgsk provided his recovery. Playtime.

Update 3:
Nand was unlocked for the EVO 4G. Maybe this helps us.
Update 4:
New root method, which should work with any new 2.1 HTC Phone, but we still don't have full write access to /system:

Well first off, good luck.
Don't we need schematics to know that or at the very least to rip apart the Desire to access motherboard and possibly find JTAG pins ?
Any less barbaric way? :<

Judging by the usb bricking showing the phones as qualcomm devices, and further by the mention of some Qualcomm development/debug tools mentioned on XDA, i'd say if anything, the JTAG connection is obtained via the USB port, and is activated by somehow switching the device to the debug mode.

We have found yesterday that superCID can be achieved by setting 2 flags in NAND. One we have successfully set, the other one seems like it's in radio section.

After waking this morning and seeing the length's SCEA are going to to halt the PS3's jailbreak I am reluctantly withdrawing from the distribution of PSFreedom in any form.
You can see more of what SCEA are doing here: http://psx-scene.com/forums/showpost.php?p=535680&postcount=1

thanks Klutsh, your awesome
time for me to start tinkering with dev_flash... hehe
"An error occured while loading PSFreedom./tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/psf/recovery.log.

gonna get the log file for you now

Thanks for all your hard work, guys! Fantastic stuff!

Great work!! Let's try!
" including ABD and Mass storage toggle." Simply awsome

Excuse my lack of knowledge, but what exactly is the difference or advantage to the PSFreedom App you created?
Keep up the awesome work!

yeah.. after rebooting to try and get you that log, my phone seems to be stuck in a HTC logo -> off -> reboot -> HTC logo -> off loop, any suggestions? I can go back into recovery/hboot fine... but not my phone

Typical recovery log shows that everything worked, although it still flagged an error.
The log is the ONLY file that my code additions write anywhere on the device other then the recovery img flashing.

What rom do you normally run?

i was using ieftm's rooted 2.2 rom (the first one he made, it's probably outdated now), i'm thinking it might have something to do with the symlinked bootanimation, since it reboots before it shows it. gonna reflash now anyway, since i've been meaning to for a while...

can anyone upload unrEVOked for desire???
and can i use HTC sense rom?

So let me get this right, now we can have this with any rom and keep all usb usage (I'm using leedroid 2.1) within our roms? Just adds an extra menu in recovery?

Yea I got it but rooted with alpha. Its only 64mb. Probably a security update. For a split second I was like, "holy crap its oreo!!" Then remembered that would be a pipe dream.

can you guys supply a dump so I could update SuperV20 to it?

@hawkeye29 Can you pull it and post a link? I still can't completely extract it yet, but I can tell if it increments ARB.
Despite what some people think, AT&T updates aren't encrypted, they just use two forms of compression .. it is really weird, but also extremely efficient.

Here's the FOTA folder
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QpDNBgzr4odnAwij_EjemwAxVOSE8exL/view?usp=drivesdk

What astounds me is that both lg and AT&T have outdated software information listed. Att still has 10r and lg has 10l on one site and 10q on their opensource site. Slackers.

Still ARB 0
The update installed by itself. Hmm ....

@runningnak3d do you think it is feasible to be able to extract the dlpkgfile within Linux? It would be so much easier to pull the files from that than use lgup.

Eventually I should be able to, but it hasn't been a priority. They use BSDIFF, IMGDIFF and gzip. It is a matter of figuring out which diff is done first, is the first diff compressed or the second diff compressed, and the order the diffs are made.
It may be something as simple as using BSDIFF on some partitions, and IMGDIFF on others.
LMAO - while I was typing this, I figured I would type android bsdiff imgdiff into Google -- this is what I got.
It will be very easy to extract it....
EDIT: extract is the wrong word. It will be very easy to apply this patch to a dump of 10t -- or it would be, but I just don't even have that time right now. I *REALLY* want to finish the lafsploit so I can move on to things like this

LG bridge doesn't work with the h910. I believe the model has to have a kdz available for it to work. Most of the useful LG stuff doesn't work well for the h910. LG backup has problems for me and there isn't an update center.
Just tried again to be sure. Just says "unable to check software version"

Hey I checked again for the update and it attempted to but returned nothing. ATT is really pissing me off. If someone else who has already updated can dump it you will probably get your hands on those files faster. Otherwise I'll check again in another 24 hours
