To apply just unzip the contents of the package below into the tools folder of the android sdk
How-to Enter fastboot mode .... While the phone is off hold down "Volume down key" and then "power button" hold both till you get a white screen with the androids and skateboards
to confirm your device is seen by adb use this command
Code:
fastboot devices
you should see your phone listed under the command you just typed. After that type the next command to flash the splash image
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.nb
Then you should see that it was successful and rebbot the phone and preview your new image by typing
Code:
fastboot reboot
Please Thank and post comments as needed, if there is any trouble i'll try to help if i can i'm rather busy lately...lol

There was a huge thread on how to change splash with win 7 and I am stuck in osx thanks for a tut on how to to it in fastboot

Thanks! I followed the instructions and applied it no problem. Makes booting up look seamless with Fresh's bootscreen

So I have been having nothing but problems with Sync, so have rooted, flashed and changed boot image by using a root file manager (which all have worked fine).
Where on the EVO is the splash screen logo located, so I can just manually apply it?
Thank you

I'm 99.9% sure that this image cannot be simply replaced in a folder but must be flashed, at least that's how it was for winmo
If you think about it this is where the carrier brands the phone the most, im pretty positive this is flashed to a specific partition

Am I missing something? I do everything step by step and it won't find fastboot command in the terminal (using OS X). I can't do anything.

Hmm that's too bad. My Vista sees my EVO, but it has an exclamation mark and the driver won't initialize no matter what I try.
Guess I'll wait till some other time then
Criim
Is there a way to flash from the EVO itself? I can copy files with no problem if I connect as a HDD.

add this file to the tools folder of android sdk or i think in OS x anywhere works as long as you direct the command line to it

No it is in fastboot
From what I gather a lot of people have this issue with Vista 32bit and HTC Sync. I haven't been able to track down a solution. Even when trying to use Sync..it always just errors and says:
Unable to find HTC Sync on your PC. Please make sure.....
Kind of a pain, but so far I have been able to do everyting I want just doing it from the phone with files copied over. Using the terminal emu or file manager

[Splash Screen Images+Tool] 13 540x960 qHD Splash Images + Splash Flasher ....

We put together 13 Custom 540x960 qHD quality splash images for everyone .
We only did 13 to start with and if theres more interest in our work we will
keep producing more . As always we will take requests either by PM or a post
in the thread . The Splash Flasher Tool is from a member on here named
TrueBlue_Drew . Major Thanks to him ! Ive been using this tool for a long time
and its my personal favorite way for flashing . Its also pretty much n00b pr00f
Below is the .zips for the Splash Images and Splash Flasher . If you like our work
please make sure to hit the Thanks button
Splash Flasher Instructions ... (I am not responsible for damage done to your phone , use this at your own risk !)
1: Place image of your choice into the place-image-here folder
2: Click on CLICK-HERE
3: DISREGARD the 480x800 warning this tool works just fine with 540x960 Images .
4: Follow on screen instructions theyre very easy .
5: Enjoy
Update 8-2-11 : if you made a backup of the Original white HTC Splash screen
with the Splash Flasher it will NOT work on your device anymore . This is due
to the program resizing the .img to 480x800 which is NOT compatible with our
devices . I have provided the original white HTC splash below in .png format .
If you wanna go back to the original splash just use this image like you would
any other one .
Splash Images (Theres no double images just subtle differences) ...

It should work just fine . Ive flashed all the images above with the tool

place-image-here folder . Make sure to hit option #2 because all the
image formats are .png . Then hit #7 and all should be well

I gave the instructions in my first post called Splash Flasher Instructions ... Follow those instructions as

and it will walk you right through .

I just tried this tool, didn't work. It said it completed the task but when I rebooted, I still had the white HTC splash screen. This is the image I am trying to use... can anyone make this for me? I don't know what else to do

That picture will not work because its 360x640 . Too small resolution
for our devices . You need an image in 540x960 in either .png or

***ClockworkMod Touch recovery 5.8.0.2 available***

}
Installing The Recovery
There are primarily three methods of installing a custom recovery to your phone. Please note that the first method is specific to ClockworkMod recovery only while the other two methods can be used for any custom recovery supported by your phone.
Using ROM Manager
Using Fastboot
Using flash_image
I still prefer the Fastboot method so these instructions are for Windows users, but the equivalent steps should work for mac and linux:
Open up a cmd window and go to your SDK tools folder. Now type
Code:
Code:
fastboot
and press enter. You should see a list of fastboot commands available. If you don't get that, you're probably not in the right folder. Check your path and where you installed the SDK and make sure you are in the /tools folder.
Once you've verified you can run fastboot, it's time to move the recovery image to the /tools folder (easier not to have to specify a path to the recovery file). I would also rename the recovery file to something short like recovery.img.
Once the recovery image is in the same /tools folder as fastboot, you'll need to put your phone in fastboot USB mode. To do this:
1) make sure the Fast Boot option is disabled. Note, this "Fast Boot" has nothing to do with the fastboot executable I've been talking about. This is a setting in Sense to allow the phone to boot up faster. To disable this setting, go to Settings > Power > Fast boot (uncheck the box).
2) Hold down the power button and select Power Off from the menu. Wait 1 minute for the phone to completely power off.
3) Boot into HBOOT. See this post for detailed instructions on how to boot into HBOOT:
How to boot into bootloader (HBOOT)
4) Once you're in HBOOT, you'll see it scan for a few files. This is normal. When it is done, you can make selections in the menu. Vol-UP and Vol-DOWN allows you to move up and down the menu list. POWER button acts as ENTER and selects whatever you're highlighted over.
By default, FASTBOOT is selected. So just press power.
5) now you should be in the FASTBOOT section of HBOOT. Plug the phone in via the USB cable to the computer where you installed the Android SDK. You should see the red FASTBOOT banner turn into FASTBOOT USB. If that doesn't happen, it means that your HBOOT drivers aren't working.
Your phone is now ready to accept commands from the fastboot executable that came with the Android SDK. Go back to that cmd window where we tested the fastboot command earlier. From there, issue the following command:
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Here's a quick explanation of the above command:
fastboot: that's the executable tool
flash: that's the function we want the fastboot tool to perform
recovery: this is the name of the partition we want to flash into. since we are flashing a recovery image, it needs to go to the recovery partition.
recovery.img: this is the name of the actual file to flash. Your filename may be different. Just make sure it matches the actual filename.
Fastboot will flash the image and give you a success/failure notification. If successful, you're all set. To check out the new recovery image, verify that BOOTLOADER is selected in the HBOOT menu (should be highlighted in blue). Press POWER button to select it. Now you should be back at the main HBOOT menu.
Use VOL-DOWN to highlight RECOVERY and press POWER button. The phone will now attempt to boot into the new recovery image.
You'll see the htc splash screen briefly and then the recovery image. That's it!

Nice....
Woow that is fast ....
I'm now running EXT4 touch. Lets give this a go.......
Nice work. Thanks.

Very Nice, ty

Thank you. Will try it tonight.

screenshots of recovery? what does this have over 4ext?

Anyone try it? the Ext4's lauching time is too long, whatever the touch version or classic version. I dont know why.
But the RMD 1. 034 is faster than that. I will try it this weekend.
Anyway, well done Yorzua!

Reported by @koush himself as :
Currently, supported devices include (stay tuned, as I am updating this list as I build):
Samsung Nexus S
Samsung Nexus S 4G
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA and GSM)
HTC Desire
HTC Desire HD
HTC Evo
HTC Evo 3D (GSM and CDMA)
HTC Thunderbolt
Motorola Atrix 4G
But my thread here is for the HTC Desire only as i dont own the other devices.
The touch code is still beta, so please flash it, test it, report bugs and be patient

@yorsua, Where can I see the source code?
Did you just modify the recovery directory in the cm tree?

Koush got this working just a couple of days ago. 4ext has the advantage of time and a fabulous dedicated developer
Was waiting for koush to get it working, so I can peep into the source.

If i install this recovery, can i still use my nandroid backups from an older version (4)
Cause I don't want to lose them.

"Backup may not be supported on this device. Skipping backup of sd-ext"
That's what I call useless. Interface itself is too plain. It has touch support, but that's it. It's not been tweaked to make use of its touch interface.

have an error while entering finale command, any ideas?

Any other suggestions are welcomed!
Tutorials/FAQ: ​For best perfomances, extract the .zip to C:/
Q: What do i need to do in order to install a custom ROM?
1.Unlock Bootloader from htcdev.com.
2.Flash a recovery of your choice.
3.Root using the permanent root solution flashed via recovery, found in Data/Root or select the Root menu and flash your desired thingy.
4.Flash custom ROM with no problems via recovery.
All those things are found and can be done via this tool.
Q: Hi, i just downloaded this tool, how do i use it?
First, extract the folder of the archive in the root of some partition, example above and somewhere below.
After that, run M7MultiTool vX.X.bat on windows, M7MultiToolvX.X-M.sh on MAC and M7MultiToolvX.X-L.sh on Linux.
Q: I see you talk about some M7MultiTool vX.X, is that an eXtreme edition or something?
No, vX.X will be replaced with the version from the title of the thread, this is made like this to keep things clean over future updates, so there will be no need to change things all around the thread after each update.
Q: Hi, i just bought a phone what should i do now?
Well, you firstly need to unlock your bootloader, just go to HTCdev.com and follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader.
Q: What is logcat?
Well, you can pretty much use google for that answer, but to put it short, is that thingy that tells you what is happening behind the scenes of your phone.
It is usually used for debugging and entertaiment(?).
When you report an error/bug to somebody, it will be a blessing to provide a logcat (logfile)!
Q: What is DMESG?
According to wikipedia: dmesg (display message or driver message) is a command on most Linux- and Unix-based operating systems that prints the message buffer of the kernel.
We use it for debugging purposes, providing it while reporting a kernel bug/error is a blessing.
Q: Hi, i have an unlocked bootloader, what should i do now?
Well, you should flash a custom recovery via bootloader, for that you just need to turn off your phone without fastboot activated, hold Volume down + Power button untill a white screen appears, if it appears a black one with some blue letters, you probably have a fake one
Q: What is a Custom Recovery and why do i need one?
A custom recovery is that thingy that let's you flash .zip files, use your logic and you wil get it why you need one.
Q: Do i need S-OFF on my phone?
HTC One has a nice unlocked bootloader, S-OFF is not needed as you can flash custom ROM's and kernels directly via Recovery.
Also, S-OFF is not available *YET* for HTC One.
Q:There are others guides/tutorials out there, should i check them instead of this?
If you manage to get things done using this one, no, otherwise yes, note that some could be outdated ​
Changelog: ​v1.1 - 23 May 2013 - Added Permanent Root flashing.
v1.0 - 23 May 2013 - First public release, providing recovery flashing, driver installer, htcdev.com code provider, cid getter, logging (logcat and dmesg), backup and restore, rebooting.​

I know you need adb debugging on, don't know if it will work without root, you can give it a try, if it doesn't work, you can use Helium from Google Play, can backup even on non-rooted devices, but beware, i used it and for example CSR Racing couldn't be restored, so i remained with my online save, which was waaay behind.
Hope this helps.

@Lexmazter, luckily the games i have on my phone have not been started yet. only some emulators that have some real-time saves on them, they should be easily copied back and forth from the internal memory. probably just gonna copy all files from internal to pc and then copy them back after rooting then re-install the apps \ games manually.....................sudeki300

Well, you can try the backup and restore feature, as i didn't had the chance to test it on non-rooted phones and please report your findings as it will help me to improve the tool.

Do people still use this tool? I haven't checked it for a while and i can see it has a couple of downloads, more than i expected actually. Should i update it and add new features?

Looks really good... Thus is exactly the kind if tools which gonna make customs ROMs more popular and our life's easier!
The GUI looks awesome!
Cheers for that!

Well done, this is great work!! I cant use it myself as I use a mac for my music production but I wish this was about when I was using windows. Would have made life much easier. :laugh:

EDIT: Thread re-opened.

Great Tool, should help new users who are uncomfortable with fastboot and adb.
Any instructions for new users?
Like do you need to have your phone in bootloader mode <fastboot usb> plugged into pc?
Or when your phone is on, do these commands automatically reboot to bootloader and run?
If so, should the user have usb debugging enabled in settings menu?

All the buttons are pretty self-explanatory. Almost all of the buttons automatically reboot to the necessary mode, and tell the user if something is needed of them, such as enabling USB Debugging, choosing a file, etc.

Looks like a great tool for noobs look forward to some feedback I'll gladly pass on to such when I know all functions work! good job man!

Just like the all-in-one tool, but just simpler and looks pretty much more user-friendly. I'll try this tool with my friend's One S. Thanks to the OP. Great job! :thumbup:
Edit: and it'll be much more awesome if it'll have options like, s-on (from s-off), unroot, and relock bootloader.

Good morning.
Here I am, a totally newbie in the world of modding.
I bought the One S last year, and is still completely stock.
I would like to install a rom, but I don't know in which order should I press those buttons in the toolkit.
Thanks in advance

just a thought have you put the unlock_token into the toolkit folder where adb & fastboot are?

Yes i did ...i noticed that when i select and press reset to bootloader command, the cmd window appwears, do whats supposed to do, when i need to use another command, I need to close this window, so I can use the tool, if not, the tool cannot be used as it is unactive while the cmd window is open ...hmmm. it says device offline , i updated all adb stuff, everything is alright .. only when i choose to unlock bootloader option it loses connection with my phone , no matter that fastboot usb is shown on bootloader status screen..
Fixed it after managed to find the command line and did it manualy

Dont know if it would work better to put the phone into bootloader mode then fastboot usb mode then run the tool?

I wanna use this to s-off but trying to run tool i get this error.

You need to install the latest .NET framework from here.

Thats a nice tool you got there. Definitely should be put in general section once the full guide has been written.

At last, this phone is gonna be rooted... but... when i put the Device Identifier Token in the dev. page of HTC, it's doing something, followed by a blank page and nothing else. Don't even get the email with the unlock code.. what to do?
-=SOLVED=-
If you don't get a response from HTC or a blank page.
