To apply just unzip the contents of the package below into the tools folder of the android sdk
How-to Enter fastboot mode .... While the phone is off hold down "Volume down key" and then "power button" hold both till you get a white screen with the androids and skateboards
to confirm your device is seen by adb use this command
Code:
fastboot devices
you should see your phone listed under the command you just typed. After that type the next command to flash the splash image
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.nb
Then you should see that it was successful and rebbot the phone and preview your new image by typing
Code:
fastboot reboot
Please Thank and post comments as needed, if there is any trouble i'll try to help if i can i'm rather busy lately...lol

There was a huge thread on how to change splash with win 7 and I am stuck in osx thanks for a tut on how to to it in fastboot

Thanks! I followed the instructions and applied it no problem. Makes booting up look seamless with Fresh's bootscreen

So I have been having nothing but problems with Sync, so have rooted, flashed and changed boot image by using a root file manager (which all have worked fine).
Where on the EVO is the splash screen logo located, so I can just manually apply it?
Thank you

I'm 99.9% sure that this image cannot be simply replaced in a folder but must be flashed, at least that's how it was for winmo
If you think about it this is where the carrier brands the phone the most, im pretty positive this is flashed to a specific partition

Am I missing something? I do everything step by step and it won't find fastboot command in the terminal (using OS X). I can't do anything.

Hmm that's too bad. My Vista sees my EVO, but it has an exclamation mark and the driver won't initialize no matter what I try.
Guess I'll wait till some other time then
Criim
Is there a way to flash from the EVO itself? I can copy files with no problem if I connect as a HDD.

add this file to the tools folder of android sdk or i think in OS x anywhere works as long as you direct the command line to it

No it is in fastboot
From what I gather a lot of people have this issue with Vista 32bit and HTC Sync. I haven't been able to track down a solution. Even when trying to use Sync..it always just errors and says:
Unable to find HTC Sync on your PC. Please make sure.....
Kind of a pain, but so far I have been able to do everyting I want just doing it from the phone with files copied over. Using the terminal emu or file manager

[I9003] DEODEXING Method If Every Other Method Fails (Without Busybox)

This Method Is The method Used By Me For deodexing Gingerbread XXKPE .I used This Method Because I was Not able to install BusyBox (ie The cp command didn't Work.so I was not able to copy the deodexed files to phone .So That the phone did not boot,stuck at the booting time).
Use This Method If Every Method For Deodexing Fails.
Steps
1.) flash to new XXKPE gingerbread Rom
2.) Root Your Phone
3.) download xUltimate-v2.2.8 xUltimate-v2.2.8
Note: You can use the already deodexed files by downloading this link Download Deodexed System Files [COMPLETE] then Goto step 11
4.) Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"
5.) If everything goes well xUlt should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
6.) Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
7.) Now these well take a while. Run option 3.
8.) IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3
9.) Now run option 4, and wait.
10.) Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB debugging Mode
11.) Download QtADB_0.8.0_windows_with_libs.zip
QtADB_0.8.0_windows_with_libs.zip
12.) Open It QtADB (left side - Browse to the xultimate folder, Right Side System folder)

}
13.) copy all the in the done_app folder to the app folder in the phone side
14.) type odex in the filter textbox (phone side) and you will see all the odex files.select all and delete them
15.) copy all the files in done_frame to framework folder in the phone side
16.) type odex in the filter textbox (phone side) and you will see all the odex files.select all and delete them
17.) Reboot
Note 1: Rebooting Will take some time .its due to the new caching of files
Note 2: If Copying Get Stuck At somewere ,NO PROBLEM just Recopy The files Until all files are copied

Forget deodoxed process, and thank you brother for This explorer for windows, and I searched a lot for something like this but didn't find any application.
Thanks....

How To Set Up ADB/USB Drivers for Android Devices
So most people won’t have to use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) ever, but if you want to learn how or want to get a little more technical with your Android phone, here’s how to get it set up.
I. Setting Up The SDK
1. Download the Latest Android SDK from Google
Android SDK
2. Extract the Android SDK .Zip file to C:\AndroidSDK (this should name the new folder created AndroidSDK in the C directory.
3. On your phone, click Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is on.
4. Plug your phone into your computer via USB cable (it needs to be on). It should say installing drivers if using Windows.
!UPDATE 12.01.09 – If using Windows 7 skip steps 4 and 5 and use this procedure instead.
5. After it installs the drivers, goto the Start menu and type cmd into the search bar (Vista or higher) or click Run then type in cmd (XP) to open the command prompt.
6. Type the following into the command prompt window (hitting enter at the end of every line):
cd\
cd AndroidSDK\tools\
adb devices
browse the C:\AndroidSDK\tools\ as the path whe QtADB asks

[Q] [Noob] Problems Rooting MT4GS

I am having so much trouble getting mytouch4gS to root. I am under the impression that the usb drivers aren't installed Though I could be wrong... I've downloaded HTC Sync (It doesn't recognize the device) Installed with anti-virus disabled, Fastboot is off, USB debug enabled. I've tried using the HTC Boot Unlocker, Revolutionary Method, and one of the Tool Kits here on XDA and none seem to be able to recognize my device... How the fok do I get this thing rooted?
HBOOT: 1.44.0007 (S-On)
This is the code that it throws
Code:
C:\Users\Admin>cd \Android
C:\Android>fastboot oem get_identifier_token
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.009s]
finished. total time: 0.009s

Go with Revolutionary. I had problems initially getting the token to work but I was substituting a zero for an "O" or something. I copied and pasted the token from Revolutionary and it worked like a champ.

I'm running 32 bit W7 Home Premium and it says The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running....
My laptop runs Ubuntu, if anyone knows of a Linux based root?
Maybe the download link was corrupt or something, I'll try the 4shared mirror

Did you install the fastboot drivers?
They are seperate from htc sync.
You can find them on the revolutionary page.
Use rev to s-off it and then you can root your rom or install a new one after replacing your recovery.

Keep getting invalid beta key? How do I paste into Revolutionary?
EDIT/SOLUTION: Betakey is strange... Paste into word pad and type out characters until they match exactly using a different font before entering key

Fully Rooted. S-Off.
Attached is Fastboot.exe from Mr. Root and Signed Superuser.
This is the step by step I used for revolutionary for anyone in the future who is having issues with rooting their MyTouch 4g Slide /Doubleshot
http://theunlockr.com/2011/09/09/how-to-permanently-root-and-gain-s-off-on-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-slide-revolutionary-method/
II. Gain S-Off
1. Download the latest version of the tool from the developers here (the initial versions require you to generate a beta key for you to use the program, just follow the steps to do so. If it lets you download the program without a beta key, then it’s a newer version than at the time of writing this, just continue):
Revolutionary
2. Plug in your device.
3. Select charge only if the option exists on your device, or just do NOT mount the SD Card.
4. On your device, click on Settings > Applications > Development > Turn USB Debugging ON.
5. Find the Revolutionary program you downloaded and unzip it to the TempRoot folder inside the TempRoot folder you extracted in Section II.
6. Right click it and select Open as Administrator (if you do not have that option when you right click, simply select Open).
7. Input your beta key you received and wait for it to do it’s thing (if you are using a newer version of Revolutionary then it might not ask you for this. If that is the case, just continue).
III. Flash a Custom Recovery Image
1.. Once done gaining S-Off, it will ask you if you want to flash clockworkmod recovery, type in y and hit enter.
2. Once it is done flashing the recovery image it will close the command prompt window.
3. On your phone, you should see S-Off at the top.
4. Take out the battery and put it back in.
5. Turn on the device, by holding down volume down and power until the screen boots up.
6. Push volume down and then power to select recovery.
7. If the phone reboots to the clockworkmod recovery screen you are all set.
IV. Gain Permanent Root Access.
1. With the phone still in clockworkmod recovery from the last step, plug it in via USB cable.
2. Select Mounts and Storage by using the volume buttons to move and power to select.
3. Then select mount USB storage (the sd card directory should pop up on your computer screen)
4. Download the root .zip file and save it to your computer (do NOT extract it)
MyTouch Slide 4G Root .zip File
5. Copy the root .zip file to the root of your sdcard and wait for it to transfer (not in any folders, just on the sd card itself).
6. On your device, select unmount sdcard.
7. On your device, select go back.
8. Then select Install zip from sdcard and choose the root .zip file.
9. Wait for it to flash, once done, select reboot system now.
10. Once your device reboots, open the app drawer and you should see Superuser permissions there. If so, you are all set, you are rooted, have S-Off and a custom recovery image.

Hi
The best way I found was here:

It does have the Revolutionary Method, but for some reason, I found these directions easiest to follow.
Good luck.

[Q]Is there a way to get out of fastboot?

Sorry if the question isnt clear, here is my delemma
So My N5 I had deleted the system partition (or folder) and I no longer had a rom, now my problem is that I cannot get a new rom installed.
I have TWRP as my recovery but no roms.
I also cant do adb sideboot, It always says: Error: Device not found
What Can I do about this?
Does adb Sideboot need usb debugging enabled?
Thanks!

Sounds like you may have to install the drivers for adb on your computer

Why not just flash the factory images from fastboot?

So I tried to using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509428 one of mthe multi tools, and it seems to go through and it stays boot looping in the boot animation.
hrmm.... very weird
EDIT: Ok I was able to flash stock via the direct google link, Now a question about adb sideload, How does that function? Do I have to have usb debugging enabled?

1. Go here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
2. Download the Nexus 5 Android 4.4 (KRT16M) image.
3. Unzip.
4. Run the .bat file while in fastboot.
That's it. It's going to wipe everything but atleast it will work.

[TUT]Extract kernel "zimage" From boot.img and Convert to .tar and Flash using Odin

[TUT]Extract kernel "zimage" From boot.img and Convert to .tar and Flash using Odin
[Extremely Noob GUIDE]Since there is no explained and easy Guide to Extract Kernel [zimage] and Ramdisk [Ramdisk] from Boot.img, Then Convert it to zimage.tar and Flash it using Odin
Well here it is step by step:
Note: This Method is used to Extract Kernels form Stock Rom's Boot.img
First you need to install Python, which is round about 17MBs software freely available on python website.
Step 1:Download the attached Python script named "split_boot_img" from attachments down Below, Extract it and copy to the folder created in Step 2.
Step 2:Create a folder with any name you like. I recommend "boot.img extraction".
Step 3: Copy the boot.img, you want to extract, to the folder you created in Step 2.
Step 4: Run the script named "split_boot_img"by double-clicking and see the magic.
Congratulations!!! Here you go. the "zimage" and "ramdisk" files are extracted.
Now the Conversion Part:
Step 1: Download this IZARC software and install it from Here:http://www.izarc.org/download.html
Step 2: Open the folder created in First-Step 2.
Step 3: Right Click the ziamge File Extracted from boot.img. as in Image 1 in attachments.
Step 4: Select add to archive file from IzArc right click options as in Image 1 in attachments.
Step 5: Now scroll the Archiving type to ".tar" as in Image 2 in attachments.
Step 6: Click the Add button as in Image 3 in attachments.
Last Step: Now flash the "zimage" file created in Step 6 Using Odin.

Maybe he should have put in that you need to use Python 2.7.9 not 3.x ... Had the same problem.
All steps worked after, but didn't flash it yet, I'll do it today or tomorrow.
Also you should mention IZArc is full of crapware, it open one install and even if I chose to not install stuff, it installed iStart and Search Enginer extensions to my browsers. After, surprise, another install showed up to actually install IZArc ... not I need to de-crap my system

Did the kernel.img actually work for you? I tried this same process as well. It took me 4 hours to clean all the maleware from my laptop. I mad the .Tar file and tried to flash it. it failed completely. I think this OP needs to be removed. More than likely the OP is getting paid for all the downloads he is tricking people into.

Did the kernel.img actually work for you? I tried this same process as well. It took me 4 hours to clean all the maleware from my laptop.

No, it failed also. Yes, it should be removed.
Ended up using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269 but for a strage reason Odin would not like it when I moved the .tar archive from a folder to an other from that method (I keep my pc organized), had to create the tar, flash it from that folder, then... deleted it because after I couldn't use it anymore.

Flashing any modified boot / kernel / recovery trips Knox, doesn't matter what method you use. Sometimes even stock trips Knox as some users said.
What i did was take a stock rom from SamMobile that was 'hackable' through TowelRoot, extracted the kernel with WinRar, made the kernel flashable in Odin using that tool, flashed it via Odin, rooted device with TR, then used same steps to download,extract,make kernel bootable to restore my original kernel. Knox stayed 0x0 on i9195.
You can try reading about Heimdall. Supose you can flash without Odin and without converting. It would make your life easier, but for me it didn't work (didn't start on Win 64bit, i think i needed another MS visual c++ , a dependency of Heimdall).
ps.: the tool to create flashable archives would't work for me just by double-clicking, so I had to open an command prompt - CMD with admin rights, go to the directory where i had the tool and type ImgToTar.MD5.bat . Just put everything in C:\tool including recovery.img / boot.img or kernel.img then go start-> type in search box CMD -> right-click on the result and Run as admin -> in the black box type the next text followed by Enter key:
cd /
cd tool
ImgToTar.MD5.bat

I hope it works, i need it for the same reason of you, flashing an older kernel to root with towelroot keeping knox 0x0 at the end of this process
