[APP] Splash1 image convertor - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

a quick app i made because im too lazy to keep doing it command line, and i had a quick hour to spare.
I will probably also add rgb565 to bmp when i find another 2 hours.
Original source thanks to Koush.
Using EVO Splash:
Open "RUN ME"
EVOSplash Will open up and select the image you want to use.

Huge problem tho. No camera button on an evo lol

who said anything about a button?
you hold the camera lens. maybe i should of been more specific. :-(
it helps if you hop around on 1 leg during the conversion process.
hehehe

Yeah, I found it funny. Have you rooted your Evo yet? Even if you haven't, there's google or a million other options besides taking offense.

I thought it was funny - not ROTFLMAO funny, but it made me chuckle...
What's up with being anything less than kind to the developers? If it wasn't for them developing little utils like this the Android noobs (me included) would be stuck with stock splash images, boot animations, etc.
BTW, thanks CYBERxNUKE for the utility.

Thanks, i just unziped now but when i restart the device in fast boot, the pc wont see the phone so i cant plush the file.

make sure the drivers installed properly while in fastboot.
control panel -> system and security -> system -> device manager
under android usb devices, it should say HTC Bootloader.
if it doesnt, try reinstalling the driver.
im sure there are posts on how to fix this also if you dont get it to work.

[ How-To ] Fix SD card not being detected & USB port not working

Decided to update the instructions for this fix.
Thx to sruon for the fix
Original instructions pulled from IEFtm's post @ Modaco
These fixes require the Android SDK and very basic ADB knowledge. You can copy and paste for most.
Make sure in device manager the driver for fastboot is installed (Win 7 downloads them automatically)
For USB fix
Download the flash_image & mtd-eng.img attached, unzip them and put them on the SD card before starting
SD Card Fix
Press & hold vol down and power on the phone
Select fastboot by pressing the power button
ADB commands
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
That should fix your SD card not being detected.
USB Fix * Root REQUIRED *
Update - Some have reported that updating the radio fixes this, so if this guide doesn't work, try that
Run from a terminal emulator in Android since ADB won't work if the USB port is not working
Terminal emulator & ADB commands
su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/mtd-eng.img > /data/mtd-eng.img
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd-eng.img
reboot
And that should fix the USB issue
factory reset?
That was the first thing I tried
Can you pull the battery and try a different sd card? Maybe reformatting (full) the card may help. You could always restore using the base sprint rom and try rooting again
This is probably the same thing known as "USB Bricks" for HTC Desires... It has been untested on EVO 4G but here is a topic that explains it for HTC Desire.
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
It should be the same mechanics so... I have good hope for you.
did you try pulling the battery and trying the same process? I dont think you bricked it, seems like something else is going on. Did you remove the SD card while it was running?
Btw to reenable SD Card and ****s go into fastboot and type
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
You tried hard resetting already?
Turn the power off.
If your HTC EVO 4G is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
Press and release the Power button
Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
If you selected YES, all data including third-party applications will be deleted from the HTC EVO 4G. Once the wipe is complete, the phone will reboot to its factory fresh state.

No problem!
Ok updated the original post with the instructions cause I know I'm not going to be the only one with this problem
Thanks for this mate. Worked like a charm... even with your files, I didn't need to muck around with the generator or a hex editor. I will tell you this tho, I dont ever wanna do that again. 10 minutes to type 5 command lines in a shell on an Evo sucks hard.

I don't know what exactly caused it, I don't remember exactly what I did right before the restore failed but I know I was working on de-odexing the system and since 5pm was coming around, I decide to restore and it failed. So I really don't know if it was the failing of the restore or something else(had flashed the Froyo ROM about a hour before too).

sorry calkulin, me and you go way back, i can't wait for you to start building roms for this bad boy. unfortunately the same thing happened to me, i think my friend broke it when i asked him to pull my sd card out, anyways after i took it out it never read another sd card again. i had to get my evo exchanged yesterday, so the 1st day i didn't even get to play with it.
Nice to see you p-slim, buy yeah I can see how someone can damage the SD card slot, it definitely is a pain to remove and insert a card, especially if you have short finger nails. But don't worry, mine only lasted 3 hours before I "thought" I had killed it, so your not alone

[SPLASH] new custom splash screens

So I am extremely new to the android and started off with an EVO and have been messing with mine non stop ever since. I decided to make some splash screens that had nothing to do with EVO or HTC or droid simply because I wanted something different and thought I would share them. Here is how to use them:
1) download the rgb565 image you would like
2) put the image into your sdk tools folder
3) shut down your phone and power it back up holding the volume down button
4) hit the power button once to go into fastboot
5) open a cmd window and type the following: fastboot flash splash1 imagename.rgb565
6) reboot your phone and enjoy!
Since I am unable to post links yet on the site atoz350 will be posting them up for me shortly.
Here are two more since I could only upload 8

Unfortunately there is not a better way because you need to flash these in fastboot rather than in recovery mode. Although I wish there was that way I could add it to themes

[Boot Splash] "Inspired" by Light (w/Preview Pic)

I hope you enjoy this. These are pretty easy for me to make, so if you have a request... ... At any rate, "thank" me if you like it and use it. And if you screw anything up and your phone explodes, or breaks, or Smurfs attack from outer space, it's your fault. you have been warned!
How to flash:
1. Unzip the file so you have "splash1.img" and place this file in your "tools" folder of your SDK package.
2. Boot into your bootloader (fastboot mode)
3. From the command prompt: Change directories to your SDK "Tools" folder then type:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
4. Reboot and enjoy
Got a preview pic by chance. Also check your pm's.
Preview pic should be up... I see it on my end?? It's HUGE. lol..
Anyone else not see the pic?
EDIT: Just checked the OP on a different PC, and pic WAS NOT showing up. This has now been corrected. ...

You will have to re-flash the default boot splash. Using the same method as mentioned.
Note: I will update the OP with the stock Boot splash as well, once I receive my phone.
OK, stupid question time (my specialty) I get into the Inspire bootloader OK, but then how do I call up or otherwise access "command prompt"? It's not like I have a menu button I can push, and command prompt doesn't seem to be one of the options displayed on the screen. I may be overlooking the obvious, and if so I apologize.

What T.A.G. was referring to was using the command prompt in Windows. This would also be used in conjunction with having the Android SDK installed in Windows.

How To Turn S-Off, Install MoDaCo Clockworkmod Recovery, and Install a Rom For Dummie

OK, I've read a lot of comments about people having trouble installing MoDaCo clockworkmod, or even turning their devices S-off. But my guide is going to go step though step of how to turn your device into a lean, mean killing machine. It took me days to accomplish this when i first got my device, hopefully this will take you under 30 minutes! I'm a junior member, i know, so cut me some slack, PLEASE.
WARNING AND DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK, EVEN IF IT FALLS APART IN YOUR HAND, OR BECOMES GODLY FAST!
1. The first thing we need to do is turn S-OFF for your mytouch 4g slide. It is probably the easiest thing to do, other then installing a rom on your device.
a. You will need to download the usb drivers for your phone, DON'T SKIP THIS STEP, or you'll wonder why your phone isn't discovered by the software. You can find those drivers at this website right here:
http://www.htc.com/managed-assets/support/software/htc-sync/setup_3.0.5579.exe
After you have that software installed, plug in your phone, and give it a couple minutes to install all the correct drivers for your device, then make sure you go to the bottom right of the computer and exit out of that software, it can't be running when your trying to S-OFF your device. Now I dont think you have to have the fastboot drivers installed either, but why not, lets go ahead and download those files and get those installed too.
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
After you have those installed, its now time to move on.
b. Now thanks to unrevoked and AlphaRev and their team, you will go to their site at http://revolutionary.io/ and you will scroll down and click on Download for Windows (If you can take everything I'm saying and do the linux version, right on!) at that moment a download box will appear, but do not download those files, download the files from this website http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BP2E3ZQ3 .But you will need to enter some information in the box below after you click on windows download, just remember, you don't need those files. Your operating system, device, HBOOT version, and serial number. Your HBOOT version can be found by taking your device, going to apps, settings, power, and uncheck fast boot, then power it off, i always power it off and then pull the battery out, makes me feel safer...and soon as its off, holding the volume down button, camera button, and power button all at the same time. You'll then see a screen with the android bots on the bottom are rolling on skateboards. At the top should be your HBOOT version, and there is only one option on the site, so hopefully your in luck! For your serial number,take the battery out from this screen, don't push any buttons, and on the sticker under the battery, your serial number will be there starting with HT--- or power your device back on, then go to apps, settings, about phone, phone identity, and wala, your device serial number. After you enter all that information into the site, it will generate you a beta key, YOU NEED THAT IN ORDER TO S-OFF AND ROOT YOUR DEVICE!! So write it down somewhere, copy and paste in word, do what you do
c. Now we have everything downloaded, we have our beta key, its time to get to work!
d. The file you downloaded from megaupload, "MT4GS-ADB-WINDOWS" you need to extract that file into a folder on your desktop. Make sure you open the folder mt4gs-adb, and extract the files out of the folder, so you should have 12 items in your folder on the desktop, not just a folder in a folder! I created a folder called "root mt4gs". You want all the files in one location. After there all extracted, open your folder on the desktop. On your phone, go to apps, settings, applications, development, and click on usb debugging and make sure the check mark is blue on the right. Now plug your phone into the computer.
Now in your "root mt4gs" folder, double click on revolutionary. At that moment it should ask you for that beta key i told you to save. Go ahead and enter that now (its case sensitive). Let the software run for a couple minutes....
Now after it says S-Off, your halfway there!! Your HBOOT will now say 1.44.1107. That way you know its done! It will ask you to install clockwork recovery mod, say NOOOO, it has hella problems. It gave me problems when i said yes the first time, i'll show you another way.
e. At this moment, we're going to install clockwork recovery v4.0.0.9, thanks to Paul O'Brien/MoDaCo, the gods lol. First, turn your device off/pull the battery out, thats what i do. Then hold volume down button, camera button, and power button at the same time. It should show you the skateboarding androids, and at the top it should say -Revolutionary- in purple. If it doesn't, don't continue, retry all steps or message me. Then plug your phone into the computer, and using the power button as the selection button, push the power button as your highlighted over FASTBOOT. It should say FASTBOOT USB at the top in red now.
Now believe it or not you already have the file you need in your "root mt4gs" folder. Your now going highlight all the files in your "root mt4gs" folder to the root of your hard drive. Click on My computer, double click on your c: drive, and paste those files right on there, do not copy the folder, or put these files in a folder!! Now your going open a command prompt. {Hold the windows key and tap r}. Then type "cmd" without the parenthesis and it should open up a black box.
Now type cd\
Your command prompt should now just say c:\> thats what you want it to say
Now your going to type adb.exe
You should see a whole bunch of words flash on the command prompt, the last couple words should say "bug tags are printed." That means your right on track.
From here, you are going to type in fastboot devices
it should have the serial number of your device and the word fastboot right next to it!
Now, here comes the tricky part that i got stuck at, but i know you can do it! Now this will work if you put the files exactly where i told you to put them. you now will type fastboot flash recovery c:\clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.img
it should say " sending 'recovery'
okay
writing recovery'
okay
finished. total time: (mine is 10.400s)
Now to make sure it's intalled, on your phone, click power button and you should now see fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock, and imagecrc as options, use your volume button to go down to recovery, and click power button.
You should now see clockworkmod recovery 4.0.0.9.
f. Now lets put superuser on your device so you can be free!
click on this file and download it, DO NOT EXTRACT IT
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
Now after you have downoaded that file, on your phone, use your trackpad, and scroll down to "mounts and storage"
then scroll down to mount usb storage. now you should be able to put files on your sd card, make sure you put it on the root of your sd card, not in a folder, it doesn't matter, but i prefer it!.
Now unmount on your phone by clicking the option, click go back, and then scroll down to "install zip from sdcard" and click on it, then click "choose zip from sdcard". Find that file we just put on there "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip", and click on it, then click yes. Now click on go back, and click reboot system now!
Now if you want to stay stock, your done, your rooted, so now just install root checker, and busybox, and your good to go, if you want to do some roms, keep on reading.
Now you cross your fingers, and grab a soda, because we're 75% done!
g. Now is the easy part, all you do now is download the roms from other developers, copy them to your sdcard, then turn off the phone, hold volume down, camera and power button, go into recovery with using vol up and down buttons as the selector, and the power button to confirm your option. As you enter clockwork mod, you can then go follow the directions of the developer as to wipe certain sections, and how to install there roms/patches. YOUR DONE
If you have any questions, please let me know, also I didn't make ANY of this software, this guide just has every link to get you everything you need at one spot. I also have the original file to make your phone completely stock, so if you need that, let me know and I'll upload that and send the link out.
If you want to donate to me, donate to all the other og's first!

Now this is how you give a tutorial!!! If i had some extra cash i would totally donate bro! I was trying to install 4.0.0.9 for two days from the dude that made its site and his directions were not thorough enough. Thanks dude.
Oh dude no worries, a thanks is just as good. I appreciate it, it took me days, so I'm happy I could help brotha!

Ok let's figure this out.. on step f, you did unmount your sd card, right? I haven't dealt with this problem before so if I ask a stupid question, I'm just trying to solve this. Also you don't need to wipe anything to install superuser, so that could be the problem also, so reboot ur fone, and let's try step f again! Keep me updated please!

It took a lot of us several attempts to flash the superuser zip. The 4.0.0.8 recovery isn't the greatest. Keep trying until it installs and you get root. Then upgrade to the modaco 4.0.0.9 recovery right away. It's not perfect either but it fixes a LOT of the issues known with 4.0.0.8.
And a comment to the OP, this is an incredibly helpful walkthrough! If only people would actually search and find this before posting new threads like "how do i root" and all that crap.
Thank you.
Great job on this and thanks for your work. I wish I would have had this tutorial when I did mine.

Thanks, I had a lot of trouble doing mine the first time, and I went back to stock, typed this and gave my wife my phone and she went step by step and completed it. So it can't be that hard!
Does this add an app to reboot from as the standard cwm does?

An app to reboot from? Not understanding the question throughly... In this cwm, it has the option to reboot system as every other cwm that I've used has. But an app... I do not have an app though...hope I answered your question!

OK ill reexplain is there an icon in the apps drawer for CWM to select to reboot etc. because it didnt install one on the MT4Gslide as on my MT4G.
I know something is goofy as SU wouldnt flash, I had to install the new version from the market.

Oh, now i understand. No there isn't. I don't have one at all, as soon as I installed clockworkrecovery, and superuser, I flashed undeads rom on there. And I've been reading that superuser is being buggy when installing it on this phone through cwm...I'll look into that tonight, see if i can find the root cause.
Thanks...This is my wifes phone, she just upgraded from a CLIQ (one of the two people that loved blur)she likes my MT4G and wanted a KBD so here we are....
I want to change the lock ring so need root for the wonderful majic you dev's do....

You probably just have to download ROM Manager from the market, I think that's what you're referring to. There isn't a whole lot of support for our device in ROM manager right now, however, and I haven't checked to see if the "reboot into recovery" works. Go into settings > power > and uncheck fastboot. Then, shut down your phone, wait 10 seconds, hold down the volume down button and turn your phone back on. That'll get you into recovery. Did you get superuser to install? Are you rooted?
Mine won't switch from "revolutionary" in purple at the top to "fastboot" at the top.
It says fastboot USB about 6 lines down, but that's it.
When I type "fastboot devices" it errors and says:
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
anyone know what's up?

A problem with ADB...

I tried installing the 1.4.3 ADB/Fastboot program on all three of my computers... It transfers 0 files and flashes some error message from CMD use... Anyone know why Win 7 pro shouldn't take the Install..?? I even used ADMIN to do it... Nothing... I'd love to just see if my new Chinese tablet has a bootloader or not...
Anyone..?

How are you installing it? With a program or something? Here I'll just share mine with you.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3XczzpnAnvwdlFvYURXMl8tbUk/view?usp=drivesdk
This has more than adb and fastboot, but all you have to do is extract all of these files into a folder somewhere. Then open the folder, hold SHIFT, and right click. Then select Open CMD Window Here. Then you're all set. (The apktool and smali/baksmali stuff are different tools for editing .apk files. You probably won't need them, but if you do.... already got 'em. Also, the instructions text file is for apktool. I use the same zip to help people edit apps.)

Real welder..., May I ask you a question..? Can you tell me how to find out if I have a bootloader and how to find out... I thank you again for your software... It worked wonders.... But the tablet still refuses to tell me more than what was on the scatter txt page...
I started reading the Beginners pages.., as recommended by another guy.... I downloaded the SDK BIG program... Along with the other programs that help it out...
I'm still not sure how to hook up my Chinese tablet to the SDK program and see what is inside...
Thanks ahead of time...,
lentmain
Do you know of a helper page to show me what to do..? Any help is greatly appreciated.....
It varies from device to device, some companies have disabled fastboot. Typically though, when powering it on if you hold vol+ it will go to recovery and vol- will go to bootloader, but not always. On a Coolpad device I have, I had to boot to recovery then it'll say No Command. Hold power and tap vol+ to bring up the menu. Then one of the menu options was reboot to bootloader.

Not necessarily, what version of Android is it running? On KK you can root even if the bootloader is locked. Anything newer than that though, would most likely have to be unlocked first.

It says it's running 6.0 Marshmallow... I can see a eMMc partition on the scatter txt..., I can see lots of flashing write up but I have tried two and they both failed...
Oh well...

It makes the tablet screen turn black and returns : * daemon not running; starting now at tcp 5037
* daemon started successfully
I'll put it in bootloader then try it again.......

Tried it again with the tablet in BOOTLOADER mode...
When you push volup then power..., it goes intoa three way choice... Recovery, Bootloader ans Normal... Recovery seems to put you into the routine recovery you see on cell phone... sideload in ADB, and such...
Fastbooat seems to accept some ADB and fastboot commands...( I don't know them all..)
normal does nothing... I have to hit reset pinholr on all three to get out of them... escape doesn't seem to work...
