Easy way to change your bootscreen *Updated 4/11/11* Pushboot 3.0!!!

Well, people keep posting in this thread so I figured I would do a very very large update. I know its been 7 months, and for that I apologize, been very busy and this wasn't a priority.
Now, its one version of Pushboot for everyone. Load it up, follow the directions and you should be set.
Remember to start you need:
-HTC Drivers installed
-A working bootanimation.zip
-An mp3 file if you want boot sound
-Your phone plugged in to the usb port (lol)
-Only ONE .zip and/or .mp3 in the folder containing pushboot
Other than that, I included everything needed to make this work.
Any issues let me know and I can try to help you out!
And leave feedback and if you like this, press the thanks button on this post =D

Yeah, I found this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697527
I made a simple bat file that does almost everything for you...which I didnt see in that thread anywhere.
So feel free not to be a **** right away and assume I am someone who doesn't know how to use a forum...Thanks

Thanks a lot for this. might come in handy.

Updated this to make it much easier, and to include a sound file if you want.

Re: Easy way to change your bootscreen *updated*
BTW thanks OP, but maybe you should try to post this at the apps / themes board.

Personally, I found the batch process that you created very useful. Thank you OP.
Note:
It's a moderator responsibility to exact organization, control & relocation. They are often very busy but fear not, they will manage the forum to better effective.
But for the sake of camaraderie among us phone-lovers, lets not self-deputize ourselves in a moderator capacity. Less than friendly "assistance" can and has deterred others from posting potentially very useful information. Growth excels when we help each other to become better...

Thanks OP. Helped me a lot.

I changed PushBoot so everything needed is included.
Basically, upzip, put your zip file (and if you want an mp3 file) into the folder
plug in your phone
open pushboot.bat
follow the prompts
(make sure that when the phone goes into recovery that you wait till it connects to your pc before continuing)
and you should have a custom boot animation and boot sound!
Any problems, let me know
I also included the dancing android bootscreen and the nexus one bootscreen.

i'm fully rooted and this method is not working for me. it doesn't load the sound or the boot animation.

Fixed for full root
Fullroot users use pushboot2.bat
otherwise, just use pushboot.bat

i'm getting no audio on pushboot2 and i'm fully rooted. at the end i just see echo then echo then the program closes. no reboot is done to my phone.

well first of all I JUST reuplaoded a new zip, so get that (forgot to hide all the random code)
also, I assume you put an mp3 in the folder right?
and to reboot you have to choose reboot in your recovery on the phone

I cant get mine to work, it placed my boot stuff in the media folder
where does the bootanimation.zip have to be because it keeps saying that it missing. Where does the bootanimation have to be on my computer or sdcard?

Keep up the good work, I like the ease of the process.

Re: Easy way to change your bootscreen *updated for fullroot!*
On your computer in the same folder as pushboot.bat is where the bootanimation.zip and SPC_animation_final.mp3 has to be.

Good job OP, I'll give it a shot later, using now the custom boot from Fresh 0.3 ROM.

OP ~ Thanks for spending your time putting this script together. I've learned from it. I also showed it to my friend who just picked up an EVO and he's now learned a bit about ADB as well.

Very useful, thank you very much. timothydonohue: lol.

OP you have any composed boot screens we could try out with this trick? I mean I'd like to see if I can follow your steps with a good working bootimg. before I go trying to make some of my own....baby steps for me
Also TimD, brother you need to chill out and stop drinking 5 hour energy..... this is the correct place for this post not buried in 700 pages of the detritus that fills most of these threads.

Re: Easy way to change your bootscreen *updated for fullroot!*
Thanks OP! Will def give it a shot once I get home.

[Q] Wanting To Root

Greetings,
I am looking for an easy to understand method of root.
I have read the new user thread. I am afraid with this so called "easy" method for beginners, there is a lot of jargon used that I simply don't understand.
For example in the thread for easy root, I am lost at step #2 where I am instructed to:
"Note that adb is required.
Push misc.img, busybox, and psnueter using the following commands:"
I don't know what adb is let alone how to push misc.img, busybox and psnueter.
Can someone please point me to the instructions for absolute morons to this process like me.
Thanks in advance.

Android adb http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
which is in the sdk http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You dont really need to know what the other tools are listed do, you just need to do what it says with them and the tools are linked in the thread you're reading to download I assume. If they aren't, then read through the manual method that is stickied in the developer's forum. A link for the tools (misc.img, busybox, and psnueter) can be found there.

I was a little nervous at first myself. I read over the directions several times and then found some information on how to get adb installed and working. Once I got that step understood the actual rooting process was super easy. You can cut and paste all the commands to ensure you don't typo. Just make sure to validate your checksums to save any potential headaches. My first attempt at it took about 20 minutes and I had absolutely ZERO issues.
It is well worth your time and effort. It is also far better to use this method than the easy root 1 steps as you will gain a slightly better understanding of how your phone works and what steps you can take when you inevitably mess something up flashing ROMS, mods and radios

Thanks for the quick reply.
I am not nervous, I just don't understand what any of this is.
I don't know what adb is or how to use it.
I don't know what copy and pasting the commands means.
I certainly don't know what "validate checksums" are.
I realize I am coming across as a comlete shmo, but explaining how to do this with more computer jargon doesn't clarify the process.
I really need instructions for dooshbags like me.
Thanks in advance.

There are also videos on YouTube showing JCases method and adb setup. I would link but I'm on my phone but it shouldn't be to hard to find.

reading through this might help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143188

There is no "easy", reliable way to root sans ADB and command lines. You will need to know this stuff before you try to root. You're going to need ADB in any event. If learning it isn't knowledge you desire, you shouldn't root your phone. For terms, you should refer to the dictionary stickied at the top of the forum. The best way to learn is to get the Android SDK, set it up, make sure your drivers are there, then play with ADB. Do simply stuff like check your serial number, the md5 of files on your SDcard, and harmless stuff like that. If you've got any questions along the way, feel free to PM me any time. I'm here often. And I'm usually faster than hunting through forums or the internet.

From what i think if u dont want the adb command line ****s you should try the software named "z4root". It automatically roots your phone.
Worked for me. And i think itz the easiest method available.
After installing the apk.
Open the application, click PERMANENT ROOT,
Then dnt let your phone sleep or lock itself, wait for about 10 minutes,
After the process reboot ypur phone.
Voila, you are rooted ..
Am new to the forums. please guide me..
Thanks and sorry for my poor english. Hope you like this.

Don't think z4root works on the Thunderbolt just search youtube for Thunderbolt root and watch the tutorials. Links are provided for everything that needs to be downloaded.

I know z4root doesn't work for any modern HTC. You can have permanent root without s-off. The only way to do that is through ADB, using an engineering hboot, and applying various exploits. All the "easy" root methods are just scripts that do what jcase's guide lays out. And unlike the guide, if something goes south, you're lost and screwed. I think it would be safe to say "easy" roots have probably bricked more phones than anything else.

Yep, and the past guy to go that route, after being warned it was highly prone to failure, had it fail. Then he came back looking for help, but nobody could because what went wrong wasn't at all clear. Just not wise.

Ive used the one click root four times with no issues. Four diffrent tb's from 3 diffrent states. 2 of them had alrdy takin the ota's. Dont have the link handy but if was a time saver. Though a half arse understanding of the method helps avoid issues. Ill post the link when i get home.

I rooted mine manually first. As you said in a previous post most "easy" roots are just scripts. That's what the one I used on my wife's was. I was following along the text of the batch file as I was running it so that if something happened I would know at what part of the script I was at. I had no problems with it though.
I'll agree that I could see where if someone where to run into a problem using script without any knowledge of what the script was doing they would probably end in a very bad place.

I think the obvious was missed in this thread: The OP is not a candidate for rooting. It's a risky task for experienced users and a non-task for noobs. He hasn't even stated a valid need for rooting the phone.

ADB "Android Development Bridge" Simply put just helps you develop apps and fix bugs. (In this case, you will use this to reinstall Android without a locked bootloader (a.k.a. S-Off) (the bootloader is code that is run when you first turn on your device that tells Android to run).
You don't have to know how to use ADB, but you must install it on your computer.
As far as copying and pasting commands go, the tutorial that you choose to visit will tell you to type this command ex: cp image.zip/sdcard/
You will just copy this code out of your browser (FireFox/Internet Explorer/Chrome/etc.) and paste it into a command line.
Your command line will depend on what operating system you use on your pc. Ex for Windows, you will use "Command Prompt" or on Linux/MAC you will use "Terminal".
As far as validation checksums goes, it is used to make sure that the file that you downloaded is 100% the same file that the developer made.
Basically, open up your command line and type (without quotes) "md5 image.zip" also, make sure you change to "image.zip" with whatever/where you file is at.
I would be more specific with these instructions I'd I knew what OS (operating system) you are using on your computer is.
After you type in the command and hit enter, it will spit out a long string of gibberish. Just make sure this "checksum" is the EXACT same as whatever the devolver put in the tutorial you are following.
As far as putting together an idiot proof guide, you will have to forgive us, but I don't think the people here want to have a bunch of people here flooding the forums with very basic questions that have been answered already on the internet. However, don't let that stop you from asking questions. Just make sure you help yourself first (Google what you don't understand) and then ask for clarification.
P.S. I claim touchscreen amnesty for any typos.

Google Android 4.0.4

I was just on the Google Code website and noticed there's a Nexus S ICS 4.0.4 download. After I downloaded a program that reads TGZ format, I saw there is 4 or 5 img files for the bootloader, system and so on.
My question is, if I copied the zip file as it was will this be recognized by the handset and install as expected or will it just screw things up. The reason I ask is, the previous versions I installed were not like this.
Also I noticed there is some Linux shell files which obviously aren't intended for Windows.
Any helpful feedback would be good and reassuring.

OK I think after a little investigation, it seems this only the hardware binaries and not the actual complete android system. Unless somebody can tell me otherwise.

A quick look through the general nexus s forum would tell you what u want to know.

Hmmm......
So in order to ask a question, I have to check whether somebody asked the same one on my behalf.
Granted but I did do a quick check and never seen nothing jumping out at me. So is there any need to be patronising? As it happens I answered my own question. Just because I have less than 10 posts doesn't automatically make me a numpty.

I was not patronizing.
Being that you noticed the page on google code and are here on xda its just frankly common sense to not search but just look at the general forum
I told you where to get the answers man. There is no logical reason to explain it when it was all explained already this weekend on the same forum.
Patronizing by directing you towards all the info you need. Can't make this up.

Whether or not you were condescending to me or not isn't a concern of mine. Anyway I have the GSM model as I live in the UK. Just need to check near the end of the month I guess.

Just flash these files on bootloader (while phone is connected to PC and its driver is installed and adb is running in cmd)

I need to reinstall of those files. As I recently formatted my main drive. Still have hundreds of things to reinstate.

[Q] What phone did i buy?

Hello guys,
A few weeks ago i bought a samsung s4 clone 1:1 copy.Last days ive been reading allot on the forums but as a noob i cant see the trees through the wood ...im stuck... i did manage to root my divice but only after trying 10 -20 times.I used mtk droid tools.
My question is if anyone can tell me if there are other roms for this Phone and what Phone did i buy.
I hope someone can help me out. thanks .

Most people figure out which phone they are buying *before* handing over any money. Good luck.

Maybe a photo of the phone's rear side (without cover and battery) could help.. usually there is some sort of model code printed somewhere that you can google for.. hope this helps.

Thanks guys.
Sublimize,dont get me wrong but i have an original Samsung S3 and S4 and both are still under warranty.I just wanted a cheap android Phone to play with I looked on the internet for a Phone and found this one as the best S4 1:1. I do have to admitt that i didnt know anything about the specs of this Phone except what the shop wrote about them. http://www.cheaptech.nl/samsung-galaxy-s4-kloon-clone-android-1-op-1. its a dutch site. I just opened the Phone to look for anything to reveal about this Phone and i took some pictures about the inside.

now with pics i hope

Not sure if it'll help, but seeing you're rooted, you can use your file explorer and go into the folder "proc" and copy your "config" file to your PC (or you can open it in the file explorer.
This is the config file they used when compiling your kernel. Now, if you look,you may get a clue to what hardware they compiled it for. Maybe.
Seeing it's a MediaTek cpu, you probably could have use the "framaroot.apk" method for root.

use quadrant standard
download app named 'quadrant standard' from Google playstore. although it's a benchmark related app but it will tell you about your phone in detail.

Actually, CHMOD stands for "Change Mode". It is a shell command used most often to change file permissions.
As an example of how we would use this command/tool in a terminal:
Code:
chmod +x your_file.ext
Good attempt with "China Mod" though. I like that

First, this question gets asked A LOT so a simple search here or google will show numerous others asking this and their findings. It doesn't matter if its not specifically referring to HTC A9 or in this specific forum either.
That being said....to answer your question.....NO! ^_^ You will most likely need root to even access the system root folder where your build prop. You may find it using some app possibly that doesn't require root, open it and change values, HOWEVER, you will never be able to save these changes without root, sorry.
If you are knowledgeable on unpacking system images or have firmware.zip/tar etc that you can dig through and find the build prop, edit it on windows/linux/mac repack or rezip and flash it successfully....thats one way.
Another way would be to use ADB to pull what you want and push it back to system afterwards.....but not to sure as my phone(s) usually are rooted and never tried to use ADB unrooted. Somethings tells me that this too won't work but go for it.

Actually i searched a LOT but i have found the TWO answers "Yes you can" AND "No you can not" , also people says yes you can giving steps i have no idea about it like this one
1. Make a process which executes "getprop" from the "/system/bin/getprop" directory and initialize the String which we want to get (ro.board.platform in example).
2. Make a BufferedReader which gets the value (String) by retrieving the data from a inputStreamReader().
3.Convert the BufferedReader to String.
. That is why i asked here again to get clear answer which i get it and many thanks for you

LOL i understand the frustration. I also spend a ridiculous amount of time scouring forums and any other place online for the many questions i need help with only to get fractured/incomplete answers or conflicting ones like you stated where it seems like the answer is both yes and no or whatever....its a real pain. Truthfully, I said you wouldn't be able to do this without root due to the level of difficulty of the other options trying without root. Creating bufferedreader etc is all Java Programming. You will need a decent working knowledge of java programming to be able to do what that guide was talking about.....i figured you might not have that so I said that NO to your question here. I know some of what that guide was explaining enough to create some of that they described but still not enough to feel comfy attempting. Your best option, i think, will be to extract the build prop from a stock.img and repack the system.img after editing the build.prop. Use 7zip to unzip/rezip the system.img and notepad++ to open/edit the build.prop and flash image in your recovery. You could also use Android Kitchen if you can. Plenty of tutorials on this. I linked two below for ya though. '
What were you looking to edit in the Build.prop anyhow? I assume you are disinclined to root/unlock bootloader for warranty issues correct?
BTW, sorry for such a late response...I am not always here for days at a time usually so.....

LOL i understand the frustration. I also spend a ridiculous amount of time scouring forums and any other place online for the many questions i need help with only to get fractured/incomplete answers or conflicting ones like you stated where it seems like the answer is both yes and no or whatever....its a real pain. Truthfully, I said you wouldn't be able to do this without root due to the level of difficulty of the other options trying without root. Creating bufferedreader etc is all Java Programming. You will need a decent working knowledge of java programming to be able to do what that guide was talking about.....i figured you might not have that so I said that NO to your question here. I know some of what that guide was explaining enough to create some of that they described but still not enough to feel comfy attempting.
