[Splash] Halo Reach Splash Screens

I can't be the only one who likes Halo and can't wait for Reach to come out.
Here's a couple of splash screens I created with that in mind.
They are similar, but the second has one of my favorite quotes from Halo 3 and any one who has read the books knows what it means.
Let me know what you think. (Be gentle though, these are my first ones)

}

They look great, the only change I would make would be the quote on the second one. I would use a quote about Noble 6, like "There's only one other spartan with that rating" -Dr. Halsey

The reason I used that quote was because of the references in the halo: the fall of reach (the book). But if anyone wants a specific quote let me know and I'd be happy to include it.

Hi, was hoping you could help me with this. I followed instructions on how to flash this and the actual sending of it worked but when it tried to write it, it said FAILED (remote: not allowed). Any ideas on what that would mean? Thanks!

You need to have ADB enabled. Put the evosplash1.rgb into your sdk/tools folder. Plug your USB into phone, then boot your phone into the bootloader. Click on fastboot. Underneath the date it should say FASTBOOT USB. Then open a command prompt and CD to your sdk/tools (or whatever you named it) once there type this:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565
fastboot reboot

First, thank you for replying to my post! You are the first one to state the "adb remount" part. I did that but it is saying device not found now. My phone does show the red fastboot usb so do you any further suggestions because it still failed on the writing part. The sending part went fine but I guess it is failing since it cannot find my phone. Might I have the sdk set up incorrectly?

One more thing...when I type adb devices...nothing shows up but when I type fastboot devices....my phone does show up.

when you're in fastboot it shouldn't show up in adb devices. I also forgot to mention to put the rgb565 file into your sdk/tools folder. Other than that it sounds like your setup properly.
Edit: Also the adb remount code isn't needed. I was so used to using it from messing around with bootscreens, I forgot it isn't needed for fastboot.

Yes, it seems I am setup correctly from what I have read. Maybe I should flash to a different rom and see if that helps me. My wireless tether app is giving me problems as well so not sure what has happened but it may be time to give something else a go. Unless you can think of anything new that is, lol. Thanks a bunch though for you help...really appreciate it.

Well, for those that actually care I have now resolved this issue. It turns out that the HBOOT version that I had did not allow me to perform this flash. I had to actually downgrade it to a different one and it worked perfectly. I wish to thank those that actually took the time to reply to my post...it was greatly appreciated!!

Realize I posted the screen of the new quote, but didn't attach the file... duh

Fastboot Troubles

I've tried just about everything to get my fastboot working. I'm running on Windows 8. I've tried tool and scripts, different drivers, HTC Sync, EVERYTHING.
I've gotten ADB to work but fastboot won't recognize my phone.When I put my phone into fastboot mode, I can go into my computer and look up the phone in device manager and I do see the phone. Unfortunately, it presents an error that say the device has failed to start. This has been unchanged through out every "fix" I've tried. Any ideas?

Windows 8 is notorious for breaking fastboot. There are a few supposed ways to fix it. Exactly what have you tried? Saying you've tried "everything" doesn't actually tell us anything.

Oops, sorry. I've tried the tools that are supposed to set up fastboot for you, I downloaded the SDK and got the fastboot and adb files but nothing shows up in the "fastboot devices". I've also tried the HTC Sync route as well as numerous drivers that are claimed to be the "fix".

What about some of the guides that are available that specifically address this problem?

I've tried all the results on that first page. Nearly every time, I get an error message with a yellow triangle for an icon:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.

Yeah I thought as much. I haven't seen people with Windows 8+ have much luck with fastboot. To be honest the only real fix I've seen is to use a different version of Windows, unfortunately that isn't as easy as some as it is for others.

Download latest HTC driver , go into your device manager in win 8 and in device mgr menu options on top make sure and click show hidden (not connected ) devices. You then will have to click onto the greyed out HTC or android name in device mgr tree and update manually . you have to actually go to the sub folder in the driver update and not just click the folder that its in. Lol its a pain but it does work. You can Google manually install HTC driver for win 8 and there is couple tutorials. Hope it helps. I beta tested win 8
And had to do that. Lol im back to win 7 and Ubuntu now

[Q] ONE+ Chinese Import / Flash to Bacon issue ? SOS

Hi XDA.
I will try and make as much sense as i can as i am new to rooting etc. Please forgive me if i use incorrect terminology.
Ok so i purchased a Chinese One+ and tried to follow instructions on a YouTube video on how to flash it to the current Cy OS.
This didn't work as planned as my One+ said that there was an issue with "E Footer" so i then followed these instructions to install it via command prompt. (being a new user i cannot post an external link to show you the instructions i followed) However a Google search of E footer is wrong will take you straight to them.
This went well and the install was complete however i was unable to get any signal with my phone network EE. The sim works in my nexus 4 so that isn't an issue.
So i now want to re flash the device using the one plus toolkit but i have hit upon a few snags.
1. I have followed the USB driver guide but cannot find the Samsung drivers on the system to show up to allow me to complete the link between the phone and my win 7 machine.
So currently my One+ shows in device manager as A0001 and not a Samsung android device as the guide illustrates.
2. Do i need o unlock bootloader to flash?
3. The download CM115 link when pressed gives a 403 error so i have downloaded CM11s via an external download but am unsure what one file in the package i need to select to start the flash.
This is all academic however until i manage to get the phone to show as a Samsung Android.
Any help would be appreciated as i am stuck.
Thanks J

Download this: http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
Extract it, reboot your phone to fastboot, connect it via USB and double click the flashall.bat in the extracted folder.

If this works.....
You sir are a legend
Doing it now.....

Im really sorry but there appears to not be a flashall.bat file within the zip.

Right so you have windows good. I'll upload my flashall.bat in a few minutes. Are your fastboot drivers working?

Excuse my ignorance but i have been installing various things all day. I have the phone in fastboot mode however it sounds like what you're referring to is something else.

Go to command prompt and type fastboot reboot. Does the phone reboot?

I've just installed the 15 second ADB installer. However it still isnt working. Here is another screenshot. Thanks again for your help.

Solved the driver issue.
I have jumped onto a dedicated windows machine instead of bootcamp.

Not a problem, anything for a fellow xda user. So fastboot works? Make sure you have the fastboot folder for CM11s on the new PC. Here is the flashall.bat: https://mega.co.nz/#!9UAQRKJS!Kuau0ulgCrxrvE5wBH5Ib54Bv6E64U1RkXje_ONMxUc download it and put it in the folder with the rest of the files and double click it. It should work.

Fastboot is installed however its not rebooting the phone. 4 drivers were installed but it states "waiting for device"
Does the phone need to be in fastboot mode?

Yes, just to test the drivers.

Right got that working but we now have this..
I think we are close!

Ah I see, I think your download had an error
Maybe try it again and make sure the downloaded file is around 487mb

This is the size it should be

Ok re-downloading now.
What state should the phone be in to get this to work. Should I have de-bugging enabled and MTP?

I tired that.
I actually even tried restarting the bootloader after flashing every component.
Seems this fastboot has some issues with android m.
Can anyone who has flashed it provide some input.

I had the same problem. Not just with android M, other Google OEM Roms. I was only able to get it to work by doing it on my Mac. I would think that Linux would have no problem either.

I had no issues flashing M through fastboot - even used flash-all.sh.

I couldn't get M to boot until I individually erased each part using fastboot, and then individually flashed each part, extracted from Google's zip, also using fastboot.

I can't get it to work on my Mac! I keep getting the data length too large error when trying to flash system.mg. Everywhere I've looked has said update the sdk, but I'm on the latest version.

You need to pass the '-s' argument to fastboot to be able to flash system.

Redownload the file could be corrupt. Only other thing try using mfastboot(google it)

Windows cannot detect that the phone is in fastboot mode

Hey bros. This might sound like a noob question but I just cannot get the phone to show up in command prompt. I booted the thing into fastboot, I have all of them adb goodies installed (alright not all of them, only the minimal installation) and I also have the Nokia driver installed but the thing simply refuses to show up. I type "fastboot devices" and I just get another line of text. Interestingly enough though I did manage to unlock the bootloader, even though when I typed "fastboot devices" I got nothing, just like the first time. When I try to flash TWRP I get the legendary "<waiting for device>" message. Although like I was saying, unlocking the bootloader worked just fine, which is strange
