psfreedom on the new kernel [RESOLVED]

is this a thing? does anyone still care? =D
i found this thread discussing the topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842358
which eventually points to this
http://www.klutsh.com/2010/12/30/htc-legend-mytouch-3g-slide/
i mean, sounds like a good plan to me. i'd like to try the jailbreak but i'm absolutely not downgrading my phone, even if i could find an old rom
i'd try to do it myself, but i'd need pretty straight forward direction

hmm, maybe i'm out of my league xD
i'm using liberated froyo fr008 and the default kernel. can i flash an old kernel?
i mean, without effecting the current rom/system?
anyway, i like liberated but i'ma check out cyanogen now and see what its like =)

I believe the default kernel for liberated let's you overclock and keep your trackball wake and WiFi hotspot also. Previous kernels you would lose all that. Maybe I'm wrong?

No, it's a fully functional recovery, it just add psfreedom menu on the list.

[tut] how to flash splash screens on new bootloaders!

hello peeps. i've recently come across something in my searching for an easy way to flash a splash screen. here is what i have found. thanks xhausx for (unknowingly) telling me how to get into ruu command mode. so, here it goes.
this is for people who cannot downgrade hboot to get extended commands, and just want an easy way to change their splash screen.
this is new news to me, but if it has been stated before, please tell me.
step 1: download any splash screen from the forums. it should be a .rgb565 file. rename it to splash1.img
step2: download the file i have linked. this is your lifeline. i will update the text as htc updates their protected bootloaders.
step3: place splash1.img and android-info.txt in a zip (both in the root). this zip must be made in a program such as 7zip (pc) or betterzip (mac). you can name it anything you want.
now to install
adb method:
first, boot your phone into fastboot. this can be done by typing in
adb reboot bootloader
your phone should now be in fastboot usb mode. next, type in the following command. be careful, it is CASE SENSITIVE!
fastboot oem rebootRUU
you should now see a black w/ silver text htc screen. just to clerify, the zip should still be on your computer. type the following.
fastboot flash zip /path/to/zip.zip
wait until it is done, then type
fastboot reboot
and you have your all new splash screen!
no adb method (noobs)
this method is much simpler, but a little more annoying. rename the zip you made to PC36IMG.zip (case sensitive) and place it on the root of your sdcard. then reboot into bootloader by powering off phone, and then holding power button and vol down at the same time. it should ask you if you want to update. select yes (vol up). once it is done, select reboot (also vol up).
both of these methods have been tested by me multiple times.
if you have any problems, post, pm, or email me.
happy flashing!

Just because it has views and no posts doesn't mean its bad. It could not pertain to the user or they don't need it, or have nothing of "importance" to say. The info is still getting across, just think of it as a courtesy to not spam up your thread.
Edit: Its a good method, by the way, though I use another method because I used unrevoked, but still clear.

my bad didnt mean to edit this one. forgot what it said either way.

Like the other person said. Great job and very useful info. I might be using this method shortley if I convince my buddy to root his evo. He has the latest ota.

wow, thanks for the thanks. i'll delete the slightly annoyed want attention comments.

Thanks for the info!

Hey dk, I finally got my splash to change. Turns out the rgb565 I made was the problem. I grabbed a different one and your method worked perfectly! I'm going to try to make another splash to get a better picture. Thanks for the help!
Can't think of a witty tag line. . .swyped from my Warm Evo.

no problem. ya I thought the file you sent me was the problem. Maybe send it to somebody more advanced who can move it for you?

Can I use these methods if I am rooted with UnrEVOked3?

Yep it can be used no matter what root method.

Thank you
The method worked great and I was going through a similar method by another user and the android-info.txt was throwing up Model ID errors in the boot loader.
Yours however worked in a pinch!!
Thanks, and have a six pack of cola on me.

[Q] Is there a way to completely wipe HTC One XL?

Ok... so, I'll admit it, I messed up my One X. Was trying to put CM10 on it, got stuck on the blue, circular boot screen. Tried several fixes from the forums, but nothing worked. One attempted fix even ended up writing over TWRP. Now all I can get is HTC boot screen (complete with red wording beneath) and occasionally the CM10 screen. The fastboot screen says "tampered" and "unlocked".
Here's my situation. AT&T is sending another phone. I have to send this one back to them, and I just want to make sure that they can't figure out I was trying to install a third-party ROM. Is there a way to completely wipe the device altogether so that I just won't even try to boot?
If not, I'll just take my chances that they don't know what to look for besides water/physical damage and won't charge me full price for the replacement.
Any help is appreciated.

Your device is in a completely fixable state but ok...if u want to make it so your device doesn't turn on at all flash a Rom called ice cold jelly ...if youother wise the best you can do is have it say relocked and they would know you unlocked the bootloader...

don't flash ICJ, just relock bootloader and ruu.
if you have no physical damage why are you getting a replacement phone?

Did you flash boot.img?
And how about you not ask how to defraud att because you don't know how to flash and fix a botched flash.

Brother, if you can tell me how to fix this thing, I am all ears. I don't want to replace it, but after trying so many different ways to fix it from the forums I just kind of gave up.
If you have any advice, I'd love to hear it!

I did flash boot.img. It just never moved past the CM10 starting animation. And honestly, not super familiar with fastboot three days ago... fairly familiar at this point. But nothing seems to get this thing to work. Please tell me what to do!
(BTW - I only called warranty at the advice of an AT&T employee in the store. I'd love to just fix my phone)

Twrp 2.3.1.0, wipe everything, flash boot.img in fastboot, and flash cm10 and gapps in twrp.

Ok, great. I've downloaded the TWRP recovery image and the Goo Manager APK... now how do I use Goo Manager on a device that won't boot up?

You can't BC its an app.. Download tarp off the official site, a quick Google search brings it up first shot... Once downloaded, drop the recovery img into your adb and fastboot folder.. Enter fastboot USB on your phone. Now right click on your adb/fastboot folder and choose "open command prompt here"
Once cmd is running, type fastboot flash recovery <---- type in the name of the twrp img you dropped in

Exactly right! If you screw up your phone, take responsibility for it! Don't make somebody else pay for your failure.
Do you even read before you flash rom's? clear red letters. This could brick your phone or even worst if you dont know what you're doing
Research very much before doing anything, that's how I started

Completely agreed. The notion astounds me (and disappoints me also) that the OP was going to send the phone in for a warranty replacement simply because they didn't do the proper research and learning before modding the phone. And when the condition was completely and easily reversible. If the screen comes on with this phone, it can be recovered.

[Q] Can't get past hboot

How do i get out of this?
i was flashing a rom and the htc screen was on for a couple hours. so i took the battery out and went into hboot. Im unable to get past the htc screen without it "dying". There is no way for me to get to recovery mode to flash another rom. i put PB31IMG.zip on my sd card to see if it would work. It was successful but once again i couldnt get past the htc screen without it "dying" and going to a black screen. im new here so im unable to post a video of what the phone is doing. i posted it on youtube so if anyone could take a look at it i just need your email to send you the link
thanks for your help in advance

Are you able to select fastboot? You can run an ruu from pc with phone connected in fastboot. You will need to install HTC sync to get the drivers if your pc isn't recognizing your device. In the link to the other thread I have the ruu posted.

You put a PB31IMG.zip?? that is not for your hboot, which is PD98IMG. Anyway, what rom were you flashing? It seems that you are prone to flash other phones stuff in yours.
Have you flashed recovery again? seems that you have no recovery at all. Use the guide in my signature to flash recovery again. You are S-OFF, so there is no need to flash a RUU.

My Epic Sense 6 Splash Screens

Hey guys, waiting for my phone to mail in...meanwhile I made some splash screens. Enjoy!
Version 1
white
black
Version 2
white
black
I used this splash screen maker to make the splash screens with the correct android-info.txt, so hopefully these should work. However, in case they don't, I take no responsibility if you guys brick your phones applying this through the bootloader.
Also, I figure I should mention, there is no gray border around the actual splash screens
instructions, as per @dgtiii
Code:
1. Place splash zip in your fastboot folder, rename splash.zip.
2. Reboot to bootloader, connect your phone to pc, should go to Fastboot USB mode
3. Fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. Fastboot flash zip splash.zip
5. Fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. Unplug your phone, select reboot in bootloader, see your awesome new splash screen!

These are splash screens. I saw a few other threads with splash screens though? Confused...if I make them flashable through recovery will they work?

Well try but i really think you need s-off to write the partition where the splash screen is located. I also read in the OP of the splash screen creator that s-off is mandatory.
Edit :
But don't worry if they don't work now, i think that s-off will be available for the M8 so your work is not for nothing !

Hey these are some sweat splash screens. I like the first one with HTC sense 6, but I cant download it. Every time I try it says its invalided.
