What does "fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565 mean?"
From a terminal window? Or what? Regular adb push? While the phone is on the fastboot screen?
Run Command, put your phone into bootloader once in there push the file from a terminal window while the phone is on the fastboot screen just like the way I post it.

so do you put the zip on the root of your sd card before pushing?
too bad you have to be rooted for this..

No, you put the evosplash1.rgb565 file on the tools folder of your SDK folder
Nice boot screen!
Instructions for users on a mac:
Boot phone into fastboot
Download Green Android Splash.zip and unzip the files into your android sdk tools folder
Load up terminal
CD into the android sdk tools folder
Enter the command: ./fastboot-mac fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565
Then once it's completed enter the command: ./fastboot-mac reboot
Your Evo should reboot with the new boot screen.
Did it and still have my previous splash screen.
bunch great splasheds posted today D:

Are you rooted effluent?
I am having a bit of a problem flashing this as well... I have unzipped the file, and copied the evosplash1_rgb565 file into the sdk/tools folder on my computer. I reboot the phone into fastboot (Vol down/power, when in HBOOT, verify cursor on fastboot, press power) Phone enters fastboot and shows "FASTBOOT USB" in red letters. I go into my cmd: and type the "fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565". I get "error: cannot load 'evosplash1rgb.565'
To verify that I was connected to the phone in fastboot, I have done 2 things. First, I entered "fastboot devices" the cmd: returned HTxxxxxxxx (device name) followed by fastboot. I also typed "fastboot reboot" which rebooted the phone.
Please tell me where I am going wrong.
Thanks, and great work on the recent splash screens you are putting up.
Anybody???? I tried leaving as much detail as possible, to try to rule out "Did you try ______?" replies. I just want to be able to change my boot screen, and the given instructions didn't work for me... Does ANYBODY have any insight into what I did wrong, or what I could do differently to change the bootscreen?
BTW, yes, I am fully Rooted via toasts method, and running Damage Control 3.2.3
1-Get into fast-boot on your phone via turning it off, than turning on while holding power button, untill you get into the white screen with androids. Select fastboot, it should show fastboot usb. If you type the command.
Code: fastboot devices
2-it should show you your phone. Next type the following command
Code: fastboot flash splash1 splash.rwa565
It should print out some stuff about sending it and the speed it sent it at. Then finish up with fastboot reboot And you should see your new splash image.
Sorry if you having any issues, I just took a look at the files and everything seen to be working perfect.

Ok, thanks for chiming in with a fix.... In your first post, you said to use: fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565
Now it is: fastboot flash splash1 splash.rwa565 ?
Just verifying, would I need to rename the file (bootscreen image), since in the download, it is evosplash1.rgb565 ?
1-Get into fast-boot on your phone via turning it off, than turning on while holding power button, untill you get into the white screen with androids. Select fastboot, it should show fastboot usb, or do it using "Quick Boot.apk" drop the file into your sdcard and install from there as a normal apk file.
once you run "Quick Boot select "Bootloader"
Remember that you need to put evosplash1.rgb565 into the android-sdk/tools folder.
If you type the command
Code: fastboot devices
2-it should show you your phone. Next type the following command
Code: fastboot flash splash1 splash.rwa565

I want to give thanks to "RikusHaven" for the help.
You don't flash this in recovery. You have to get into the bootloader, choose fastboot, have it connected to the PC, go into cmd or terminal, navigate to where your android-sdk/tools is, and run "fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565" followed by "fastboot reboot"
Ummmmm...... You said that last time..... Also, you obviously did NOT read my original question, because you keep feeling the need to tell me how to get into fastboot. I said in my first question, in detail, how I was getting into fastboot, what I was typing, etc. You obviously ALSO didn't read my 2nd question, which asked if I need to rename the image, since in the first post you call it evosplash1.rgb565 and now you call it splash.rwa565. Any time I have ever had to move, copy, delete, etc... a file, I had to tell the computer WHAT file it is I want it to work with. By having a file named one thing, and telling the computer to work with another file, it doesn't make sense to me that the computer will miraculously know what to do. IF a rename is not needed, a simple "No, fastboot will find the file on its own" or something similar would have been enough, but to retype all the steps that I had already said I had taken, and still not providing a definitive answer to the question, shows that you aren't reading what the problems people are having. I tried to be as descriptive as I could, in posting my problem, rather than just saying "It don't work", and It is still taking multiple questions to try to find an answer.
If there is any doubt as to what steps I took, PLEASE scroll up and read Post #12. It tells in detail, What steps I took, What I typed, What error message I received, AND what I did to verify that I was in Fastboot.

youll need to replace evosplash1.rgb565 with whatever the correct file name you are flashing is.
I'm having issues as well. I've done this before without problems, but now i get waiting for device. My phone is on the fastboot usr screen. (power off, hold vol down then power on, then power again to get to fastboot screen)
I like that blue one. Good stuff bro.
I update the phone SKU = TW to WW, in the process of updating the device stands at around 30%, which does not run on the next stop. I waited over 30 minutes still the same and I reset the phone and the result is brick, just boot up black screen and USB symbol, on the discovery fastboot recovery lost.
sorry, my english bad

My asuszenfone5 had usb logo lots of time, when i tried to update to kitkat. You need to try several times power+ vol up (1sec after) since the device has a power button unresponsive. Then just follow the tutorial people told you. Get usb drivers from microsoft(on win8 must give program installer compatibility mode on XPSP3 and administrator previleges to install it properly)In my case i would have batery logo/usb logo several times before getting access to boot mode (10 min attempts So keep trying dont give up. Its an excelent phone but with power button unresponsive/. The same thing happens while you try to wake up phone after deepsleep mode.

I tried to follow this, but every time the it finished the sideload, I still get an error which says "assert failed : greater_than_int (getprop("ro.build.date.utc").1392739......, and then the installation got aborted. I can't access the internal memory cuz I believed my phone was bricked and when opening the phone, I was just stuck with the loading screen and not getting through.
Got this problem when I tried to update my phone to kitkat. The installation got stuck at about 30% and tried to reset it and now I have this problem.
I appreciate it if someone will see this and reply to me. Thanks

First of all thank you for ur fast answer but i already do what you say.I wrote before my tablet stuck fastboot mode.When I write fastboot reboot code in cmd,tablet restart but still fastboot mode.
*Unlocking bootloader will remove all your data!*
I'm using Windows 7, and that's the steps i did. (it should be simmilar for other systems too)
Getting code:
Code will look simmilar to this: DB1ED223C5537BA756FB0671E425D650
Method 1 (no root):
Go to
https://passwordsgenerator.net/md5-hash-generator/ copy paste serial number and click generate. Then you should see code in "MD5 Hash of your string". You can also go to simmilar md5 hash generator sites, but this site automatically converts small letters to big letters.
Method 2 (root):
Okay, this is new method that is much easier and you don't need to send IMEI and wait for @the_laser to give you code. Go to terminal emulator, type su and execute it. Then type this and execute it:
redweaver said:
Actually the command is
echo -n NE1GAM4770133666 |md5sum |tr [:lower:] [:upper:]
If you don't use the -n flag, the newline character is also passed and you get a different result

Unlocking bootloader:
Download platform-tools which activates adb and fastboot commands (first you need Nokia 3 driver installed if you didn't)
Nokia 3 driver: http://www.devfiles.co/download/3iK0k7Sv/Nokia_3_USB_Drivers.zip
platform-tools Windows: http://www.devfiles.co/download/KtLsN6fX/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
platform-tools Mac: http://www.devfiles.co/download/OkrfluP0/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
platform-tools Linux: http://www.devfiles.co/download/vk5DudZX/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
Enable usb debugging in Developer options before running adb. To get Developer options, go to settings, about phone and press build number 7 times. Also enable OEM unlock.
Now Connect phone to computer via usb and enable usb file transfer, run cmd as administrator, then type this command which runs adb:
chdir C:/Users/John/Desktop/platform-tools (this is just a example, you need to type your own location of platform-tools)
then type this command to check is your device connected to adb, it will show serial number of your device, if it hangs at waiting device, then you need to reinstall drivers (if you're doing this first time, then it will ask to allow usb debugging on your computer, just tick always allow from this computer and click OK)
adb devices
then type this command to reboot to recovery (you can boot to recovery by holding power on + volume up (only with usb connected) if this command doesn't works)
adb reboot recovery
when booted to recovery, choose reboot to bootloader option with volume sliders (this will boot to fastboot)
when booted to fastboot, it will show text 'FASTBOOT MODE' in down-left corner
now type this command to check is your device connected properly to fastboot.
fastboot devices
if it show characters like 0123456789ABCDEF or simmilar then it is connected properly, if it hangs on waiting device, then you need to reinstall drivers like mentioned above.
Android Nougat (7.0 & 7.1.1):
Now type these commands to unlock bootloader
fastboot.exe -i 0x2e04 oem key (type your key after oem key)
fastboot.exe -i 0x2e04 oem unlock
then press volume up, when asked
Android Oreo (8.0 & 8.1):
First download NE1-0-215H.lk.bin:
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZaLMs7ZclQ2wvKwSb0ofUraMmrsiHh6uk1X
Now type these commands to unlock bootloader
fastboot oem dm-verity <your_unlock_key>
fastboot flash lk NE1-0-215H.lk.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Proceed your unlock procedure.
If you have problem on flashing the lk partition, you can use MTK Smart Phone Flash Tool to flash lk partition manually.
After lk partition flashed, you may encounter "Red State" when booting the phone. Ignore that and boot your phone to Fastboot mode directly with OST LA.
That is it, i tried to explain for you to understand everything i did to unlock bootloader.
Credits:
@the_laser for codes, some additional steps and corrections. Also thanks for new method. @redweaver for new method.
@Hikari_kalyx for Android Oreo method. @bigrammy for NE1-0-215H.lk.bin link.
way to enter recovery without adb -
power off phone
press and hold volume up + power on buttons, insert cable immediately
countdown will start on phone, hold both keys until countdown ends, then IMMEDIATELY release power on key, still holding volume up
you will enter recovery shortly
after installing TWRP it is very important - DO NOT allow /system modification until supersu package installation ! ( or you will require reflashing phone with OST )
another note - can't enter recovery by combination volume-up + power button, if phone not connected to computer
one man reported, that even he successfully flashed TWRP image with "fastboot flash recovery <twrp image>", he still got original recovery.
workaround is to use "fastboot boot <twrp image>" - as we need to have USB cable connected to enter TWRP recovery anyway, not big problem.

Someone told me that if you flashed twrp, that it automatically removes data encryption. Is that true?
EDIT: i find out that is not true, it asks for some password to decrypt data, but the problem is that idk what is the password
DON'T install xposed! It bootlops.
EDIT: My fault, it actually work but you need to wait more than usual to boot.
That is great guys.
Do we have a working recovery yet?

I have stock recovery, but I use fastboot command 'fastboot boot recoveryname.img' when I need TWRP, and that's awesome because I don't lose stock recovery which is useful to flash OTAs and Nokia zips. I flashed SuperSu 2.79 just fine, but expect some crashes like software update, device monitor crash, but actually everything works, software update works just fine.

Someone told me that if you flashed twrp, that it automatically removes data encryption. Is that true?
EDIT: i find out that is not true, it asks for some password to decrypt data, but the problem is that idk what is the password

TWRP can't handle Android 7.x default disk encryption, just press "cancel" and we need to use sdcard as storage for backups and packages because of this
Can I return the bootstrapper lock?

link for twrp
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsmTb5aqoY12mDZqDZbPOp47QVMV
when downloaded, copy twrp to folder platform-tools and rename it to recovery.img
reboot to fastboot, then type this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then reboot, fastboot reboot
if it didn't worked, use this command just to boot to twrp (you need to do this everytime when you are connected to PC)
fastboot boot recovery.img
To install root, first disable system modification on twrp then flash this zip for root.
This is not the latest version of SuperSU, but newest releases have some problems and crashes. (at least for me). This is last version that works for me.
That is it.
Thank you!
Is it possible after unlocking, installing twrp and root, to return the device to factory settings for ota updates? If so, how?

on twrp, there is a option wipe, click on it, then you will see option swipe to factory reset. then wait and reboot.
And you can now enable system modification if you want (it is recommended to enable it because some zips fails to flash because this option is disabled)
After installing TWRP and rebooting, does not want to boot Android, weighs in on the initial splash screen what to do
Your device has failed verification and may not work properly

Weird, when it says your device has failed verification?
For me reboot works fine
Devs and end users:
I need someone out there to show me how to get into fastbootd. this one completely blindsided me. I need a hand here. Can someone draft up a clear and concise tutorial? There's a donation in it for whoever helps me. If the tutorial has screen shots and an essay for a tutorial, even better. Again, donation up for grabs as soon as someone out there helps me achieve my goal.
In addition, since fastbootd is new to me, please tell me if I need to download tools and whatnot to further achieve my goal. I'm honestly resisting the temptation to buy an international oneplus 8 to get the OTA's we love so much.
I'm posting screen shots of what I've been trying to do. I'm reaching the point of saying "the hell with it" and buy an international version.
Screen shots are sequence I've been using for fastbootd.
1. home screen (boring home screen but I could care less)
2. language selection
3. menu right before choosing fastboot or stock recovery
4. fastboot or stock recovery menu
4a. I didn't post the fastboot screen because it's the same as it was (you all know what it looks like)
Damn man. I'm usually so good at these sort of things but again, I got blindsided. <scratching head in frustration and disbelief>
Thanks guys!

If you have TWRP it will only reboot to TWRP when trying to get into fastbootd. If you don't have TWRP it's very simple.
Reboot to bootloader, with your phone plugged into a computer and CMD open type "fastboot reboot fastboot" this will bring you to a menu that looks just like stock recovery it is actually fastbootd

This is what I'm doing:
i'm using the minimal fastboot adb tool.
I type in : fastboot reboot fastboot
the result: unknown reboot target fastboot (nothing happens)
I'm so stuck and confused. not mad here, just confused.

Ok it looks like the above was right though kind of vague so let's take it from the top.
1. You are in regular homepage on phone
a. adb devices (This should show your serial # and the word, "device"
b. ADB reboot bootloader
c. Once rebooted to bootloader, "fastboot reboot fastboot" D-U-N, done.
2. Can't get into phone or soft brick
a. Turn off phone and press VOL+ and VOL- plus power button
b. Oncce in bootloader then "fastboot reboot fastboot" D-U-N, done.
Hope this helps and happy moding!

You need the latest adb and fastboot tools for this and the minimal install from xda isn't the latest it is quite a bit older so it doesn't have access to fastbootd you need to uninstall the minimal tools and get a copy of the latest ones
I don't want the donation.
Let me know if you can reboot into the bootloader by entering 'adb reboot bootloader'? If so, what happens when you enter 'fastboot reboot fastboot'?
If you can't reboot into the bootloader, what's happening there with the adb command?

I just downloaded adb fastboot v.29.0.2.
I launched fastboot v29.0.2 (phone was in fastboot mode already) and typed in fastboot reboot fastboot.
Phone rebooted into fastboot but no fastbootd (I heard fastbootd has the fastbootd on the top of the screen)
Progress....I suppose but still swinging at home plate with nothing but foul balls.

No, you may not see fastbootd at the top.
After fastboot reboot bootloader, enter 'getvar is-userspace' if the reply is Yes, then you're in fastbootd. Let me know if the reply is no

Here's what I've done:
I'm using minimal adb fastboot v1.43. using command prompt, I've entered: fastboot reboot bootloader
entered: getvar is-userspace
result: 'getvar' is not recognized as in internal or external command, operable program, or batch file. (I copied this verbatim from the command prompt screen)
NOTE: My phone is the tmobile variant. Bootloader is unlocked and sim is also unlocked. Could these be factors that's hindering my goal?
Thanks.

That shouldn't factor in. Do this:
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. Once in bootloader 'fastboot reboot fastboot'
3. once rebooted 'getvar is-userspace'

1. adb reboot bootloader (I did this while on my home screen with the phone all booted and loaded)
2. now, the phone is on this part -- please see screen shots.
Man, this fastbootd process is the hardest. Question is now: is it really worth it?
I probably can't help here, but did you download adb/fastboot directly from Google?

Well now we know you have a legit copy of adb/fastboot. Try the instructions posted by @sufoalmighty in post 11 again.

download the latest platform tools from Google and unzip it into a folder and open a CMD from the folder and that way your ADB will be up to date. also fastbootd is basically stock recovery menu that's how it will appear Chinese writing options and then English on the bottom.

android studio didn't do me any good at this point. Still stuck on this: getvar is-userspace
I really need an essay with screen shots to "see" what I should be doing and what I should be looking for. Gonna step away from this before I pound a keg to clear this headache called "fastbootd."

You are probably doing it wrong. You should be typing
Code:
fastboot getvar is-userspace
NOT just `getvar is-userspace` as @sufoalmighty said. (There is no executable `getvar.exe`. `fastboot.exe` is the program and `getvar is-userspace` is an option to it.)
