[Boot Splash] "Inspired" by Light (w/Preview Pic) - HTC Inspire 4G

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. ...

How do we revert to default, if desired?

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.

I have not tried it. So as of right now, the official answer is NO. If you decide to try anyway, it's at your own risk. I'm not responsible if your phone becomes a pretty brick.

help me dude i want to flash RA-magic-v1.3.2
the point is not to waste space in the DEV forum by asking noob questions. there's an entire q&a section, not to mention VERY thorough directions in Amon Ra's thread.

lock please.
This Worked for Me
First, they're right. You are in the wrong section. But, this worked for me. First, copy the recovery image to the root of your sd card and rename it recovery.img. Next, open up your terminal emulator (I use Better Terminal, it's worth the small fee if you don't have it.) now type...
cp /sdcard/recovery.img /data/recovery.img
Make sure you have a space betwee "cp" and "/sdcard/recovery.img" and "/data/recovery.img". After that, just hit enter. Wait a few seconds. Do a full reboot. Then reboot into recovery. You should see that you have the new recovery image. If that doesn't work, you may need to type "su", then hit enter and then type the command above. This has worked for me on Amon_RA's last couple of recovery images.

i guess it's not worth fighting anymore.
try this instead in terminal or better terminal or whatever:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.1G.img
reboot
that's what i do every time an update comes out.
to be fair, i use the regular terminal on my mt3g and switch between stock keyboard and htc_ime since the latter seems to be the only one which will enter numbers in terminal.
flameinthefire, pm me if you're still struggling.

[APP] Splash1 image convertor

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.
check out the preview and see if that is what you want.
press convert
when finshed press the red "X" on the top right corner.
the script will continue and make the PC36IMG.zip
copy PC36IMG.zip to the root of your sd card..
turn off phone and hold Vol down and Power button.
press vol up to flash your Splash1.
press vol up again to reboot and enjoy your splash1

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.

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.

Wanted to thank MD for starting the thread and Casen for the lnk. Very cool. I now have "android droidX".
MD- how far have you got? Try downloading the android sdk and you can start experimenting with ADB (android debug bridge). If you just google "android sdk" you can go right to google's site and they have instructions there. Or maybe you have all ready messed around with ADB?
anyways, cheers for the good question.
Thanks and idk im trying to look for a easier way first. Theres a app out there it just doesnt support DX yet.

I had that same problem originally. Did you follow the directions on the link exactly? If you push the framework-res.apk back to the phone while it is running "normally"- that is what happens (or it happened to me at least).
But when I booted into recovery, mounted system (it will actually read unmount when it is mounted) and then pushed the apk- I didn't have that problem.
I am not sure if that was the only step that made the difference- but is the only one I can think of.

Thanks. I couldn't get my system to recognize the phone while in recovery. I ended up mounting the system while the phone was in Media Sync Mode, issuing the "stop" command, replacing the files and rebooting. Worked like a charm. :-D

That sounds easier. I am no ADB wizard. Could you type it out for me?
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
etc.
Or whatever commands you issued?
Thanks.
It's much easier to use Android Terminal Emulator on the phone instead of the cable/ADB method.

A couple of things...
1. This is in no way meant as a "come back". Just my view.
2. Whether it is easier to use terminal or not - I still need the commands.
3. And for me it is easier to use a full size key board. The USB cable is less of a hassle to me then the mini touch screen keyboard.
Again- that's just me.

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.

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...
