[Q] Desire S Bootflash changer? - HTC Desire S

There seems to be some apps to change on other device,
but is there one specifically for the Desire S that can change the bootflash when booting up??
I bought from Three store and they always have white screen with "3" boot image and want to change that if possible?

sorry i meant to say the screen before boot animation,
but thanks I have fixed using RUU RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506

The initial bootsplash is locked into the - usually carrier specific - rom, and can only be changed by flashing a generic HTC Rom.
The boot animation is a separate thing.

This is the splash screen and can be changed, but I believe you must be soff

pretty sure this belongs in themes
I had found a splash screen creator program, but its only for older android devices. I too would like to be able to create custom .img files. Anyone know how?
original splash screen
So far I have had no luck in making my own boot screens, but I did manage to make it so we can re-enable the stock boot splash if it was changed to the unrevoked custom.
Any update on this?
Search how to create splash. There's a how to in this thread I used works great.

How do I get the original splash screen back?

Hi I have my evo and no more Sprint service so I'm selling my evo. It's rooted and I have a custom splash screen but I was wondering how I could get the original black on white evo splash back?

If he left the splash in there you can try flashing Sprint Lover's ROM. It's in PC36IMG.zip format so it flashes through bootloader and if the original splash is in there, it will flash that too.

Edit- Or maybe try one of the many RUU's out there.
I tried loading sprints ruu, it changes the boot screen but not the splash screen?

I rooted my HTC one x Voda- hutch, installed font installer changed font and got boot looped. I then flashed arhd 9.7 boot.IMG using fastboot. As my phone is s on and I had to. then used recovery to install the whole Rom. Worked great when I finally figgured it out as no other recovery method would work with s-on it seemed.

FIXED! thanks all, figured it out, there was a fastboot command missed when following this stupid guide.
Glad it works.
Just in case (perhaps for others too). Your phone is HTC One X from Vodafone Australia right? In the future, be sure to post questions in the International model forum; yours is an international Tegra 3 HTC One X (endeavoru).

Do a search in the themes forum. The splash screen you want is in there somewhere, plus a few hundred other ones.

There are actually 3 things which has a default white back, and could (should?) be black..
The first is the splash (static) screen, which is actually on a different partition than the system/data etc.
The 2nd is boot-animation which appears after the splash when the phone is booted
The 3rd is down-animation, appearing when the phone goes to a reboot/shutdown.
Please find the 3 attached files for each - keep in mind that the splash is a flashable zip which needs to be flashed via 4Ext,
The bootanimation and downanimation zips should replace existing files on your rom - different roms have these in different locations, but AFAIK always somewhere in /system - root is needed.
Nandroid is your friend - always create a backup first!
Thanks for the splash. I'm happy the white one is gone. Do you know where there is any more? I like this one a lot though. I just wanted to see what else there is.

Hey, this is really great. However I'm a bit of a noob and just flashed a new ROM and now looking to flash this splash screen. I flashed the zip file, but unaware what to do with the other 2 zip files. I found a 'bootanimation' file within \system\bin but no downanimation file. Also I know these zip files contain many images not just a single file type. I'd really appreciate if you could advise on this. Is this splashscreen also silent? As after the flash I have no noise, but still the annoying white display

Ok so I got the splash screen working. It had to be stored in system/customize/resource. I still however have no sound on start up. Also, initially turning on the phone still gives me the white with green HTC without quietly briliant before then giving the black boot splash screen... Confusing :S

in order to change the splash screen you have to be on S-OFF.are you on S-OFF?
also when you put the new bootanimation.zip in system/customize/resource did you change the permissions?

Hey thanks for the reply. I'm not S-OFF but I use 4EXT with SmartFlash enabled to overcome this. I was able now to get the black splash screen working, however prior to this bootanimation I still have a white background with green HTC. I think it's like a BIOS screen maybe? How can I get this changed also?

ok, I've not tried this yet as I feel you misunderstand my issue... I have my new black HTC splash screen. But before that comes up I have another image, the original white one. I think this might be called the 'boot splash'. I have a found a page which does the change for the HTC One S, I think I need something similar for the HTC Sensation. AS the very first line of this page highlights that boot splash and boot animation are two seperate things:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777223
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Ok, I'm being a complete donut! The flashable splash screen zip is what replaces that static screen right 'boot splash' as I referred? Even if I didn't flash this and just replaced the bootanimation and the downanimation, I'd get what I have now?! But why can I not do this with SmartFlash Enabled on 4EXT, as I thought this acted as a temporary S-OFF? It's just when I flashed the zip, it said it was successful and also I now have no boot sound when starting the device, do you know why that is?

the original white one you are saying is the splach screen
the second one(new black HTC)is the bootanimation
the bootanimation you can change it also even without flashing anything at all
about smartflash i think you misunderstood its ability.it is usefull only for flashing different kernels and roms on S-ON devices.for nothing else
take a look at this guide too for flashing a different splash screen

Cool man thanks. Ok so I just looked into doing S-OFF, and I see I'd have to install Ubuntu onto a virtual machine and it also mentioned that you should ONLY perform S-OFF with a stock ROM, is this true? As I have upgraded to Inspiration 1.0.1 ICS with Sense 5 MOD and this seems now then to be quite a bit of hassle.

you can use this guide either for S-OFF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
just request for the windows version tool
or request it also from ganeshp's guide
and yes install the stock rom
just backup inspiration rom through recovery
and after S-OFF restore it
note:backup everything from your sdcard to pc because during the wire trick it will erase everything in the sdcard
could someone explain why my boot sound has gone? the flash didnt work because i am s-on, but i lost my boot animation start up sound!
EDIT: Sorted it, for some reason in the folder system/customize/CID the file default.xml had:
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip"/>
when it should have been:
<BootAnimation audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip"/>

I stumbled across people wanting to do it for the HTC Desire HD, also there is much stuff on people wanting to remove the 'annoying sound' as they referred to it as. I had this sound file missing, so I added it to the /system/customize/resource location, but still didn't work. That's when I found the default.xml file to have that line missing within /system/customize/CID. Added it and whala, now have the start up sound again

[Q] Help!!Help!!Help!! what is the text??

Help!!Help!!Help!! what is the text??
That's the text saying you've messed up with your phone..that is, you unlocked the bootloader at HTC Dev site. All of us had that, some got rid of it by flashing a modded hboot that has the warning gone. But to do that, you have to be S-Off too.
You can read more in the theme section, three's a thread there about changing boot splash screen. It is called "Boot splash screen warning gone" or something like that
To conclude, there's nothing you should be afraid off, it's normal

Sorry but I really don't know anything about Desire 816, not even how it looks like. You should ask about that in that phone specific subforum cause any information from here might not be applicable to other devices and following the wrong procedures might brick the device
