I stuck at T-mobile Logo!! Can't get in to recovery and to the phone.
Can some one help me ?
Had a similar problem. Have you applied the engineering bootloader? Otherwise I think you're stuck. As far as I know you can't flash anything using the stock SPL. I brought mine back within the first 15 days for a new one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=453953

First, try taking out the sim card and booting the phone. I've heard of at least 1 case where that worked .
Second, have you flashed the dev bootloader onto your phone? When you power it on with back+power, do you see a screen with colored bars (stock bootloader, or a white screen with 3 skateboarding androids (dev bootloader)?
If step 1 doesn't work and you don't have a dev bootloader, there's not much you can do, other than return it to t-mobile.

I stay in Malaysia. I did call HTC but they ask me to send it back to T-mobile. I don't know why HTC no support it.
Take the battery out for at least 1 or 2 hours, then try. I have seem this problem with some units, hopefully this will be the only time it happens.

How to do factory setting from stock bootloader?
sorry
at this time there is no way to fix a phone that has lost its "system image" and only has the 'stock HTC SPL' or "rainbow bootloader" like there was on the older htc WM devices...
Yes thats what the bootloader is made for but the tools and image (dreamimg.nbh, is the name. if they keep the same naming convention as the WM ones.)

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

Only way to get rid of it is to run a RUU but it will still say relocked but you wont have the red writing.
The writing is actually in mmcblk0p12 but touch anything, you could get a brick.

if you have locked bootloader you can't perform fastboot commands that's why it doesn't work
but you said you are S-OFF
so you need a patched hboot
Ok , i have UNLOCKED and S-OFF now , but it`s still not work for me , i have hboot 1.27.0000
You don't need to do it in fastboot. A PC is completely uneccessary to change the splash screen.
Follow my guide...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442872
You can do the entire process right from the phone using terminal emulator, or with GScript, which can automate the process for next time.
Works like a charm.
That guide also shows you how to make a new splash screen suitable for flashing. If you already have one ready to go skip to the bold heading that says FLASHING A NEW SPLASH SCREEN TO YOUR PHONE. You can skip the first part.
Enjoy.
Ok dude , thanks , it`s work for me i completly forgot about android terminal
Hey guys, waiting for my phone to mail in...meanwhile I made some splash screens. Enjoy!
Version 1
white
black
Version 2
white

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!

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 !
