Created an Evo Splash Screen that everyone is welcome to use.
Put the file linked below into you're SDK/tools directory.
Reboot phone into bootloader.
Type "fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565" (without the quotes) into the adb console.
Reboot and Enjoy.
Here's a link to the file you need:

thanks its very nice
Thank you much sir! This is great
Can this be flashed with flash_image from the phone directly?
like this - flash_image splash1 filename ?
I believe it needs to be zipped and signed in order to be flashed.
I just read somewhere in google land that splash1 partition is called misc within android. I bet I'll brick it if I try to flash to misc. Or something...
When in the boot loader I can't get access to the device in adb shell. Any ideas?

1. Use adb to boot into the bootloader ">adb reboot bootloader"
*Once you're in bootloader adb commands don't work
2. Flash the .rgr565 file ">fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565"
*Make sure the evosplash1.rgb565 file from the OP is in the SDK/tools directory on your PC
once in the boot loader it doesn't allow me to type anything, I can scroll between bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down so I'm not sure if I understand step 2 of your response. Sorry Noobish on the evo, came from the samesung moment, thanks

I'm a noob too, but have had a little luck with ADB. Have you checked to make sure the USB Debugging in the Development menu is activated?
I have it on, I can use adb just fine when not in the bootloader, I'm just understanding how to flash from the boot loader.
Select fastboot from the bootloader. Connect your phone to the computer.
Your phone should say FASTBOOT USB near the top.
Now use a terminal and issue commands like you would with adb, only that the specific command is
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565
sweet that worked. Thanks!
Very nice. Like this a lot. Thank you

Hello. I am new to this forum so bare with me lol. Recently I rooted my G1 using the following guide.
http ://forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=727688
Everything was working perfect. I went to Rom Manager app and updated recovery image and my phone was rebooting fine. Today I could not send text messages so I rebooted my phone and it gets stuck on G1 screen. Home+power doesnt work but camera+power works. What can I do?? I searched for 3 hours already and I only read that people fixed it but no one gave step by step instructions

Does it only get stuck on the splash screen when you try to boot into recovery? Or does it not boot into the ROM at all?
Same thing
I have the same thing happening to me but there is no ROM. So I am able to get into FASTBOOT but it wont flash anything but I have no ROM or RECOVERY IMAGE
In fastboot you can flash, either download the original RC29 DREAIMG.NBH, or get the fastboot executable on your PC (mostly in PATH in sdk/tools/ with adb) and flash recovery with fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
In the Cyanogen Wiki there is a link for both recoveries (RA and CWM).

When I go into fastboot which I suppose is camera+power, I dont have any options to flash. I have 4 options...
<CAMERA STEP2> HBoot Mode
<SEND> Reset Device
<ACTION> Restart to HBoot
<MENU> Power Down
To clarify, my phone does not boot at all and no recovery.

The fastboot command is entered on the computer , Windows command line for example

Are you able to go through the root process again. Sounds like your only option to me.

In Linux you have to enter:
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
On the shell, where JAVA_HOME points to the directory where java is installed.
In Windows you have to open your settings, and to find the PATH configuration. There you have to add the bin-Directory of your Java-Installation. But you have to separate by a ';' instead of ':'.
Hope that will help you ...

So you dont have the same problem because you can get into the recovery and I cant...
If anyone lives around chicago land area, I am willing to pay for someone to help me out withthis problem.
there have been a load of issues flashing recovery from within a rom when running CM5 or 6....unfortunately, most of the "clear warnings" are far from that....
if you are having trouble setting up fastboot, have a look at this guide, it may be of benefit to you....you only really need to follow the fastboot instructions (note. the guide is for ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04)
http://www.lineardroid.co.uk/2010/04/how-to-set-up-adb-in-ubuntu/
i have the same problem but when i try to flash a new recovery img i get MTD: a bunch of numbers and it keeps on telling me that i dont have enough memory.. is there anyway i can fix this?
As many of you may know, you are locked out of using fastboot commands unless you have an engineering SPL. But I made a little discovery last night about how the HTC Rom Update Utility actually installs ROMs. Turns out it uses... fastboot!
Here's how it works:
With phone powered on, do "adb reboot bootloader" to enter fastboot.
-OR- With phone powered down, power on phone while holding VOL DOWN. From there press VOL UP to enter fastboot.
Run the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
Now you should see a black screen with a silver HTC logo. Look familiar? This is the screen you'll see when using the RUU.
From here you can re-flash an original HTC ZIP, with "fastboot flash zip filename.zip", where filename is the name of your signed HTC image.
As an added bonus, if your phone is S-OFF (even if you're not using the ENG SPL), you can flash ANY fastboot-compatible ZIP from here, signed or not.
When you're done, "fastboot reboot" will boot the device.
Found this by accident trying to help someone on IRC who had screwed up both their ROM and recovery somehow. All they could get into was fastboot/hboot, and they were S-ON.
Thankyou!
Just wanted to say I'm the guy that messed up his phone and needed Jason's help. He got me into a Sense ROM and was able to then get clockwork running again and restore my Nand. Really save my bacon.
Also, I've followed your advice. I now have a rooted AND S-off hero running Gingerbread.
Thanks again!

Not sure why it would be giving you issue. Make sure you're in fastboot mode and not hboot mode. You should see "Fastboot USB" on the screen if memory serves.
Alternatively, try the copy of fastboot.exe on my site. I pulled this directly from HTC's Rom Update Utility, so it might work better.

Jason, Thanks a million times, That was a problem, I d/l your fast.boot and it got me to the Black with silver htc screen. I'll see what I can do from here. Just want to get it to where I can boot into recovery.. Thanks again for helping me.
I've followed all the instructions but with a slightly different problem. I can't get to bootloader at all, but if I plug my hero to my pc and turn it on then it will say "fastboot usb" in a red rectangle at the top left, but is still otherwise the white HTC screen. when I do "fastboot oem rebootRUU" the terminal says okay, but the phone reboots into the same state instead of the black and silver screen I am hoping to see. Is it a brick or is there another option?
I get to where I want to load the image and it says "error: cannot load 'HERCIMG.zip'". Is this because it is not signed. I have the zip on the root of my sd card. I'm trying to install just a stock ROM and unroot so I can sell my phone.

If you look in the hero dev section you can find a thread called ruu in zip format. It will take you back to stock all the way no recovery no nothing just like fresh out the box. I've used it myself when I couldn't flash sense roms. And it works great. I would link you but I'm mobile. You might have to dig a little but its worth it. Good luck.

I get the same error even with that zip. I am S-OFF also. I have HBOOT-1.47 with radio 2.42.01.04.27.
I've tried almost everything to unroot and get back to stock. I am about ready to throw in the towel.
Why not just leave it rooted and put a stock rooted rom? Seems at that point you could remove superuser permissions somehow if It's that important for them to not have root. That would essentially take away root for all intensive purposes I would think. I'm just thinking out loud here and definitely you may want another opinion, but having root on the phone won't really cause them any real problems as long as they have a stock rom. They can still activate it, it still has the same menu options for a hard reset...maybe I'm missing the point other than you should be able to do what you're trying?

The zip file should be on your computer, not your phone. Make sure to specify an absolute path for the zip file if the fastboot.exe file is not in the same folder as the zip file.

thank you x100000.
I couldnt flash the original ruu because of the weird bootloader issue, but this worked like a charm and i was able to flash with a .zip of the ruu.
Thanks again.
I achieved the unlocked bootloader, at least I believe, per instructions via the HTC website. But I can't seem to be able to flash a recovery or achieve root. I can boot into HBOOT, when I try to click Recovery, it takes me to some page explaining software is not to be distributed, blah blah. Then it just boots up like normal?
I'm afraid I don't understand? Everything i've tried fails, why is that?

You skipped right over the "can't seem to able to flash a recovery."
Please explain in detail the instructions you followed AFTER unlocking via HTCdev.com. This includes files you downloaded, where you put them, how you attempted to flash, etc.
These details will be very helpful. Don't worry, sounds like you're not in any serious trouble at all. Just don't go flashing anything you see.
Also, please post this to the Q&A forum or General next time. This development forum is intended for development posts ONLY (ie. ROMs, Kernels, Radio's, etc). Just a heads up. Welcome to the forums
Aahhh, forgive me!
And thank you for the patience and understanding!
I used the Hasooon2000 toolkit. I got as far as getting to the screen where HTC wants to confirm with me that I do want to unlock the bootloader, I clicked yes, and it rebooted. Then I tried to flash recovery. The CMD prompt will say it was pushed to the phone successfully, but when I try to reboot into recovery, I don't get very far. To my understanding, I can't apply perm root without getting to recovery, but with the bootloader unlocked, why can't I even flash one?

Ahhh, not to stir up the pot here, but you're getting vague again with what's going on. You say "when I try to reboot into recovery, I don't get very far". What do you mean by this? Details are extremely important in helping you. Sounds like you're saying that recovery was successfully pushed, but then I didn't get any details as to what's going on when you attempt to load recovery. Also, which recovery file did you use? Use this one
I'm not trying to get on to your case here, but you've got to be really specific when you say stuff doesn't work, because that doesn't help us diagnose your issue. When your recovery is done flashing, you should be able to access the bootloader by holding Pwr + Vol-Down for like 5 secs, then choose recovery (that or fastboot>recovery....I cant recall if recovery is a main menu item). What happens after you choose that? Mine shows the htc splash screen, with a development message in red, and then it boots Clockworkmod.
No, no, lol I totally understand, I guess I am being vague.
I was going to go into details, but I was at work. Interestingly enough, my phone died, and when I plugged it and let it charge for a little bit, the phone booted right into CWM touch - so odd! So I was like, ok, i've achieved root - well, no, cuz I opened ROM Manager and it says SU couldn't be found.
BEFORE, when I would do what you said I should do, it would take me to the HTC splash screen where it was in red text, some disclaimer about some proprietary information crap, then it would skip recovery and just boot into Android -___-
Let's see if I can replicate booting into recovery now. (What method are you using to flash your recoveries?)
EDIT: Well it looks like I can't get back into recovery. Same thing as mentioned above. I can get to the fastboot screen, but if I click recovery, it takes me to that HTC disclaimer screen, the little loading bar loads then - poof - screen goes blank and Android boots up.
I have the same problem -_-! Can someone help please
The recovery image was flashed succesfully from Hasoon2000's toolkit. But when i go to the bootloader and select Recovery, I get the red warning for from HTC about how this is for development purpose only... then the phone's screen goes black, then it boots into the stock ROM.
Cant flash recovery
Hello everyone.
I have a similar problem. I successfully proceeded with the bootloader, but now I can't install the recovery. It simply wont flash.
I was following the xda tutorial that's in this very forum, but i got stuck: In my desktop i downloaded the needed files (or so I believe), and so i have in my desktop a folder called "carpeta" (random name) with these files within: adb.exe, adbwinapi.dll, fastboot and 3 different recovery images i have tried to flash.
I use mac, so i open the command prompt for mac (terminal) and go to the "carpeta" folder and after that, I type "cd fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img" (the xxx are the names of the recovery images that i have in the folder, one at a time) but it simply wont flash anything. I attach a screenshot to ilustrate what happens...
Please help me

Guys it works if you flash the recovery manually through the command prompt. I think there might be a bug or something in the toolkit because the manual way worked for me.
Here is what I did:
(I am not a programmer so I can't guarantee this will work for you. Worked for me, but try at your own risk)
-Copied the recovery image to the same folder as abd
-Plugged in the phone with USB debugging on
-Opened command prompt
-navigated to the folder with adb with "cd folder_location"
-typed: "adb kill-server", then "adb devices"to make sure the device was connected
-typed "adb reboot-bootloader" to boot into bootloader
-typed "fastboot flash recovery recovery_file_name.img"
-Select bootloader>recovery using the vol up and down and pwr button
and voila recovery
Hope this helps
I'll give it a shot later tonight on my lunch break.

Make sure that you navigate to the proper folder using the "cd" command.(for example" cd C:\Fastboot ", if your adb and recovery are in that location)
Make sure that the Clockwork Mod recovery file is in the same folder as the adb and make sure that you type the file name correctly
I used these file and put the recovery image inside the folder after unzipping

Guys it works if you flash the recovery manually through the command prompt. I think there might be a bug or something in the toolkit because the manual way worked for me.
Here is what I did:
(I am not a programmer so I can't guarantee this will work for you. Worked for me, but try at your own risk)
-Copied the recovery image to the same folder as abd
-Plugged in the phone with USB debugging on
-Opened command prompt
-navigated to the folder with adb with "cd folder_location"
-typed: "adb kill-server", then "adb devices"to make sure the device was connected
-typed "adb reboot-bootloader" to boot into bootloader
-typed "fastboot flash recovery recovery_file_name.img"
-Select bootloader>recovery using the vol up and down and pwr button
and voila recovery
Hope this helps

This actually worked for me. I am rooted, and am now running a custom ROM.
Thanks so much for all your help!
Hey everyone
i seem to have made a very tiny bit of progress here since now i can type the commands and make it start, but only that... starting.
my command box is stuck in a "waiting for device" message that will start nothing, and my phone is just there, untouched.
i never thought flashing a recovery would give me this much of a long headache...
help anyone? how do i make my pc stop "waiting for device"?
Have you tried a different USB cable/port? I had a similar problem but moving to a different port worked.

I have the same problem i did everything as in the guide posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
But when i flash recovery through fastboot ( fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img) everything goes ok but when i want to boot into recovery i get stuck on the HTC screen.
Than i wanted to go to recovery trough fastboot ( fastboot boot recovery ) i get message cannot load recovery.
If you need more info for help i can provide you guys with the screenshots.
Thanks in advance Nikola.
So I got this help in the CM Q&A but while I've rooted man devices (mostly with oDin and one-click utilities) I've never used ADB and now I'm wanting to go from a sense to AOSP ROM and can't find active links to ADB or tutorials other than (type something here), youtube hasn't been help either, can someone help e out? I had a hboot 1.85 XL so I had it easy when I rooted.
LINKS
3.18 RUU Downloaded
S-Off Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2155071 open in tab but the instructions aren't user friendly
Downgrade Touchscreen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2159863
TWRP Recovery: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita downloaded
***openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.1-evita.img or 2.3.3.0 are recommended at the time of this post***
OPTIONAL- Remove red text from splash screen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2156368
INSTRUCTIONS
Thanks to @InflatedTitan for this breakdown.
While waiting for the RUU to download...
1. Download the 2 files for s-off and place in adb folder.
2. Download the recovery of choice and put in adb folder.
3 (optional) download the remove red text file and put in adb folder.
4. You'll have to downgrade touchscreen if you want to use aosp *SEE NOTE BELOW*. Head to original dev sticky to download files from h8rift. Put those in adb folder
_________________________________________
1. S-off! Make sure you confirm in bootloader (it usually works easier from a sense rom btw.) 4.2.2 roms need updated adb but it may work.
2. When you ruu, it doesn't touch sdcard. But I would quickly mount and backup your pics and whatnot just in case.
3. Enter fast boot. Run the ruu on the computer. It'll bring you back to 100% stock.
4. Once you up and running, enter fast boot again and send twrp. (Instructions below, insert whatever recovery image you're pushing)

5. I recommend to get rid of the ugly ass red text on splash. Follow Liam's thread to rid it.
6. While in fastboot go ahead and downgrade touchscreen following h8rifts instructions.
7. Now you're golden to flash anything you want :thumbup:
*Note as of the 06/26 Nightly, you do NOT need to downgrade your touchscreen. However if you encounter any touch-related problems using TWRP 2.3.3.x, you should flash the downgrade in fastboot to move on. I'd recommend 2.5.0.0 on the latest touchpanel firmware. It works for me but if you run into trouble, downgrade the touchscreen and flash the recommended TWRP recovery.
ADB is a command line shell for accessing your phone remotely using linux commands. So many linux command line commands will work within adb. To become an ADB master, use linux command line.
As for downloading ADB and fastboot...

I guess I'll stick to sense based ROM's because that wasn't helpful but thanks.
Edit after hours searching came across helpful info, but after changing the directory and putting int adb reboot bootloader i get "error device not found" when my phone is connected, any clue?

That means you're typing the filename wrong. Type the first few letters and then press tab. It will auto complete the file name for you.

i'm actually getting the no devices connected again since the ruu finished running.
Press and hold power until the phone shuts off then press and hold volume down until the bootloader comes on then try again

Twrp 2.6 works great. No real reason for 2.3.3.1 anymore but nostalgia.
