Doesnt matter what its called with pushboot. you can put it in the folder and call the zip makeitfail.zip and it will work.

Pushboot changed the zip's name to what it needs to be.

Not all bootanimations are put together right, and that will result in a black screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] redtrk:
Thank you for this...... it will be a time saver.
[HTC EVO 3D] kaos420:
ok. lol nice tool the name is Sprint_bootanimation.zip as it is in the resource folder. idk i like doing it the old fashion way. drop and replace. lol but to each there own.
[HTC EVO 3D] evanscnce:
I did this because I like to have it open when flashing roms. Really easy to send to recovery, and as soon as the new rom is flashed change your boot animation right away. I originally made it for myself to make things go faster =P
[HTC EVO 3D] ticklemepinks:
can anyone point me to alot of boot animations plz
[HTC EVO 3D] arozer:
OP, can you please add "[MOD]" in front of this thread?

I'll add it to my 'Complete LIST' thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16132451
[HTC EVO 3D] evanscnce:
sure thing. although, its more of a tool =P
[HTC EVO 3D] arozer:
You're absolutely right, however it's a tool for modification to the phone.

But I see that you have updated it. Thank you bud.

Added to the list.
[HTC EVO 3D] Konfuzion:
Tried it and still a black screen, I wonder if its because I am running viperRom?
[HTC EVO 3D] evanscnce:
Hmm, let me try to see if I can get the file working on my rom.

*update* I just downloaded the one I put up, and used pushboot to send it to my phone, rebooted and it shows up.

I am using Synergy (Don't see the point in any other rom anymore ;o) but I will download ViperRom and see if its something there...
[HTC EVO 3D] evanscnce:
changed some stuff. first full release (1.0)
[HTC EVO 3D] irishgreen:
OK so i dl pushboot..then dl the bootanimation.zip..opened the bat file with phone connected(charge only and usb debugging on) chose option to push boot ani to evo 3d..rebooted and still the same original boot animation..what am i doing wrong?
[HTC EVO 3D] evanscnce:
Your using synergy like it says in your sig?
[HTC EVO 3D] irishgreen:
actually im on bloodybeast right now trying it out..will go back to synergy when virus uploads new one
[HTC EVO 3D] irishgreen:
nevermind i figured it out..had to go into system/customize while pushboot bat was up and switch to r/o then hit push to evo3d and worked perfect..hopefully helps other with problems..thanks OP!!
[HTC EVO 3D] evanscnce:
Oh, you did it while the phone was not in recovery lol That makes more sense =P

I usually just use it in recovery with no issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] ChrisAC84:
Really useful tool! Worked perfect, once I figured out I needed to be in recovery first lol. Will this work on other devices? Droid 2, for instance? Friend has a Droid 2 and would love the Portal 2 bootanimation:p
[HTC EVO 3D] evanscnce:
It may. But you would have to use the system/media option I would think. Not very familiar with the droid 2 tbh.
[HTC EVO 3D] ChrisAC84:
Ok thanks. I am supposed to root it for him tomorrow, will give it a shot and see if it works
[HTC EVO 3D] EvoSideHustlAZ:
please help noob out.i read all 4 pages and still don't know how to use this let alone install it.lol.can somebody break it down for me? thanks inadvance
[HTC EVO 3D] evanscnce:
Download the pushboot zip on a windows pc.

Extract everything into a folder

Take a boot animation zip file and put it in the folder labeled "boot_animation_goes_here"

Plus in your phone to the pc

launch pushboot.bat

see if your phone shows up.

send into recovery

once its in recovery push the file using option 3
[HTC EVO 3D] Orical:
Why go through all of that work, this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1197748 there's no need for a computer at all.

I'm not knocking the work by any means, there's a good reason why I won't.

(Portal 2 bootanimation included for those interested.)
[HTC EVO 3D] evanscnce:
First off, please don't post things like that here. This is for talk about PushBoot only, not for you to send links elsewhere.

Why I like using pushboot?

Because when I flash a new rom, I connect to a pc anyways, so this way I can easily send the phone into recovery, flash a new rom, then easily push a boot image, and reboot. Easy as pie.

Its really not much work at all... and this way you can change the boot animation without having to load your phone. So for example, you push one...dont like it...press 1, go back to recovery right away, put a new one in the folder, and try that. Its a much faster process for those who are by a pc anyways. I made a signed zip back on the evo that did the same thing as the link you posted. I found pushboot more effective and easier so I never released the zip...

Oh, and pushboot gives you more options and will have more features in the future. once I get some more time.

I refuse to get in an argument about this (not saying we would, just saying I won't) so please, if you have anything negative or unrelated to pushboot that you wanna say, do it somewhere else. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
worked perfectly
[HTC EVO 3D] PnoY:
nice.. worked great.. uhmm where do i find boot animations and power down animation zip?? thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Orical:
lmao, ok buddy, there's a reason I posted it and I'm sure you know why, I know it's simple and I know you updated the version not long after the other one was released so your right there is no argument to be had. You implemented the idea after you saw it, this isn't a pissing contest and no one else had to have it spelled out for them this could have been handled in PM's but you had to make a public show of it so here we go.

I'll make it clear as possible now that you had to make this bigger than it had to be I'll just throw it out there like this:

" You KANGED the idea and because I called you on it your mad"

There's no chance you can deny it either, post times don't lie. Next time you Kang some one's idea at least have the face to give them credit for the work no matter how simple it is.

So everyone knows what I'm talking about this was his edit:

"V1.0 released

added option to send to /data/local"

And this is where he got it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1197748

"BootScoot

This will move bootanimations/downanimations to /data/local

It comes with the portal 2 bootanimation and bootanimation flasher to flash your own."

Don't try to make me look like the bad guy, if your going to try to slap some one in the face do it right and do your home work.

I bought the Spiderman 3D game. I want to root my phone and was wondering how do you get the full version again. It's not in the market as a paid app so how do I avoid having to pay again?
[HTC EVO 3D] bignibb:
?

Did you have temp root with Fre3vo?

If yes did you use titanium backup to back up you apps?

If yes you can re-install from there.

Im not sure maybe you can go to the my app in the market and see if it shows up.
[HTC EVO 3D] jordant2:
No I don't have temp root but I guess that's not a bad idea. It doesn't show up under my apps. What if you got a replacement phone? There has to be a simple way to redownload spiderman.
[HTC EVO 3D] aegixer:
if you root without doing a factory reset, your game will be there. i just did s-off, twrp, super user, and busybox. evo 3d bootloader version 1.4. with the recent work from unrevoked and revolutionary, a wipe isnt needed. check this out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193680

thats the guide that got me through root without a wipe.:)

on a sidenote, gameloft keeps a record of your purchase. if you lose it or get a new phone, it should show up in the game store as a previous purchase.
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
I was able to downgrade from a stock 2.3.3 GB 2.16 Hboot S-ON to 2.2 Froyo 2.10 Hboot S-Off. The PC36IMG.zip does wipe the phone but... where should I upload it to for everyone to test?

I am going to test a rooted stock rom next. Here is the ROM I am testing w/ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1133379 (no dice on odexed. gonna try de-odexed next)

Here is the link to image: (still uploading to multiupload)

Dropbox: http://db.tt/iEGT0Ge

**WARNING** We are still getting to the bottom of why this worked for me. Do not flash this without knowing what you are doing. You can brick your phone if things go badly.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
You can upload it to a dropbox, megaupload, ect. Though you are going to need to provide in detail what you did, how you came across it, and what's going to happen, because people are gona be skeptical.
[EVO 4G General] LCL22:
ok ...a free hosting site would do, link it back here, but after soooo many people trolling here recently i am....skeptical to believe this.....but whas so special about this pcimg then? did YOU make it? your post is very vague about it
[EVO 4G General] BlazinThat:
Hold on. you had s-on, with GB. Then rolled back to froyo and rooted? I thought you couldn't roll back unless you already had s-off.
[EVO 4G General] LCL22:
also, correct me if im wrong, unless this pcimg somehow has been embedded with htcs keys , i really dont see how it can throw our 2.3.3 s-on phones into S-off past the bootloader, since it simply will not install anything any other way, im not holding my breath much but i hope im wrong
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
so I came across it on the forums first night I got the EVO back from Sprint w 2.3.3 on the system. I dont recall the thread unfortunetely because I sorta gave up on the idea. Basically I was going to attempt a downgrade but everyone was saying it wouldnt work etc. So I just found it on the memory card and ran it. The only reason I even remembered it was on there was when I went to check which bootloader I had.. 2.16 S-ON. I thought damn it, then the fastboot found an image. I thought sure why not couldnt hurt... It is the full RUU one where everything is wiped and the phone reboots in the middle. Sure enough it came back w 2.10 hboot S-off! No need to take my word for it, please verify. I dont know why it worked other then it has. Still havent been able to flash any ROMs just yet.
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
so did i. thats why i posted. please verify.
[EVO 4G General] BlazinThat:
It's bs, you need the HTC keys. I have the same thing and tried the same way with no working method.

Trying now..nn
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
so what happened when you did it?
[EVO 4G General] schollianmj:
Can't delete my response from the CDs app....
[EVO 4G General] EVOlvedAndroid:
I'll try, but I need confirmation from someone else it works. I do not want to brick my phone.
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
done. give it a shot. hope it works for others. still cant load any damn roms....
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
well if you downgraded you gotta root
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
not bs, I wouldnt waste everyones time
[EVO 4G General] EVOlvedAndroid:
I believe you have to flash a recovery
[EVO 4G General] BlazinThat:
Links up top. I just started downloading. Still has 22 Min to go.
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
Wow, has it been that long I completely forgot? Cant I load a stock rom from the fastboot?
[EVO 4G General] EVOlvedAndroid:
I'll do it later when by battery is charged. 19 minutes to download
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
not that i know??

not sure if you were being a **** or not but from the post sounds like you just downgraded and didnt root to get s-off...i wasnt trying to be a ****
[EVO 4G General] BlazinThat:
Im kinda wondering, Im downloading this now and its 202 mb. I have other pc36.img files on my comp and there only 111 mb. Should i scan through it quickly?
[EVO 4G General] linsalata28:
Try flashing this amon ra v2.3 from bootloader.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

Let us know if it works.

Edit: if you have s-off you should be able to flash the PC36IMG.zip from bootloader that will give you a recovery to be able to flash zips "ROMs" from there.
[EVO 4G General] Stalte:
Anyone else confirm this. I want to test this on my brothers Evo.
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
I expect folks to be skeptical.. if not downright hostile. I dont really care either way. I was stock 2.3.3 GB 2.16 hboot. I was ****ed like everyone else. I loaded the image which is linked @dropbox and now @ 2.2 2.10.0001 Hboot. If we can figure out how to get this working for everyone else great. If not we are no further along.

I need to root my phone now....
[EVO 4G General] BlazinThat:
IF you have s-off then your rooted, you need to flash a custom recovery and load a rom.
[EVO 4G General] Zac95:
Just saying if this did brick sometimes phone, its still not rooted and under warranty

Credibility of op in question. Claims to have done the impossible and doesn't know s off means root or that he didnt know you need a recovery.....
[EVO 4G General] HiddenKnight:
Quick question, being that the newer Evos have 2.3.3 on them, what update or version were you on? 4.22? 4.24?

Cause if you were on 4.24, that has a locked bootloader right? People can't access it correct?

Being that is was S-ON.....

Am I overlooking something?
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
thanks for the response. this seems to be working. flashing the odexed-signed version now.
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
thats what i thought. thanks. flashing odexed now
[EVO 4G General] linsalata28:
If I wasn't already rooted I would give it a go but it would be amazing if this works I have a few friends that would love to be rooted on the ota gb.
[EVO 4G General] JBO1018:
That's not strictly speaking accurate. When you run revolutionary on the 3d you still have to flash a recovery. Then a custom rom or a .zip that puts su and busybox in the right places to have actual ROOT access. S-off just means the bootloader doesn't check signatures and write protection is disabled.

[EVO 4G General] HiddenKnight:
4.24 was the OTA sprint released for the bootloader, calling it a "security issue" or "BUG," thats why it was pushed, and loaded. So Im pretty sure if it was 24 you were screwed, and I honestly don't have time to rumble through the zip, so I'm stumbled on a 50/50 here folks.
[EVO 4G General] HiddenKnight:
ZAC95 stated to me through Gtalk that its not looking like what HTC puts out.
[EVO 4G General] linsalata28:
Did you get a recovery to flash?
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
i am on ver 0003
[EVO 4G General] HiddenKnight:
NO sprint bloat, Boot.img as big as 4.24 rom......hmmmmmm

Can somebody view build.prop really quick. just pull it to the desktop and rename it to a " .txt " file (without quotations) and check the ro.build, and version number.
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
please, dont take my word for it. all i remember for sure is i got it from here.. other then that all bets are off.
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
No need to delete! I can mod the OP to warn people. I put this out for everyone to test a method in getting S-OFF
[EVO 4G General] HiddenKnight:
well someone run through the build.prop and we can sure as hell make a point of it and see what version it is.

And being that your hardware 003, you can downgrade, I believe 004 can't. Please, correct if im wrong.
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
Yup, this worked. I am rooted! Now to figure out why? :)
[EVO 4G General] elwood:
when I attempted I got "Main Version Older"

Volume up - Reboot

Volume down - cancel
[EVO 4G General] Zac95:
Ok. Please do. people get very excited over these experiments and it can cause problems.
[EVO 4G General] HiddenKnight:
Yea you do need to edit it. be quick and detailed on it.

i havent done this since i rooted my evo last year. believe me or not. doesnt really matter either way. hopefully it helps someone.
[EVO 4G General] Zac95:
Thanks. When I get my laptop working I'm going to comb through this ruu like 007.

Where exactly did this ruu come from?
[EVO 4G General] elwood:
so my Hardware Version is 0002 does that mean I can downgrade and if so.. please please point me in the right direction
[EVO 4G General] HiddenKnight:
Not technically, he can install a rom with a pc36img, like a stock froyo 2.2 rom, and it have root permissions and be on it, that how i achieved root last year, and then unrevoked forever, then different recovery.
[EVO 4G General] nealwheels:
I bit, and tried to install on my spare EVO, and it wouldn't work. Bootloader message said "Main version is older! Update Failed!"

Need walth through on how you were able accomplish this.

i got it from here sometime last month? i did it on a fluke when i found it on the memory card tonight. this is my son's phone now so i havent given root much thought.

ah yes, now that my memory has been refreshed.. that exactly what I was up to. I planned to RUU downgrade my phone so I could flash a rooted rom w s-off etc. Lots and lots of posts said it was impossible so I didnt bother.

So my questions is why did it work for me?
[EVO 4G General] HiddenKnight:
you should be able too..i believe
[EVO 4G General] androidsupra:
Ok, got ya, there were a few early cases of people who ran the update on s-off phones and thought they were screwed, but since they were s-off they could regain root. Since this is a new phone that is pretty well ruled out.
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
read the thread? pretty straight forward. rebooted into fastboot, flashed image, flashed recover, flashed odexed stock image.
[EVO 4G General] HiddenKnight:
you will probably have to wait, unrevoked is still trying to puncture through
[EVO 4G General] LCL22:
i think i know...

think it went like this

op rooted phone in the past (aka last year) , took the ota , went to downgrade GB since he had the pcimg, but he "assumed" it wouldnt work because of what he read on the forums, but what he didnt know was that you need to purposedly use the s on tool to go S on , he does say he had S on and went from that to S off, but thats what I think happened...

still, downlading the pcimg now to try

i expect to get a version older error like most here, im running on a never rooted gb evo 2.3.3 , with 424, 04 hardware, wich suprises me given that i have an evo wich is almost a year old by now and ive never taken it to sprint for anything
[EVO 4G General] elwood:
i see.. well thanks :)

Hope ROOT comes soon enough
[EVO 4G General] androidsupra:
No. The locked h-boot doesn't give a crap what hardware version you have. It listens to the propaganda and just says "NO"
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
nope, new phone. original died of heat stroke from sitting in the car too much.
[EVO 4G General] LCL22:
ok

and are you 100 percent positve that you were handed an S on phone?

i know of people that have been handed refurbs as replacement and they lucked out with an already S off device, probably because the techs never botherd to run the S on tool or didnt bother to check
[EVO 4G General] sivarticus85:
I went through a similar situation friend... The only way this is possible is if you were s-off already. Whe I took the GB update I thought I was s-on too, but when rooting you must flash the s-on tool from unrevoked to go completely unrooted. But be patient bro I'm sure an exploit will be discovered soon. OG EVO ftw!
[EVO 4G General] androidsupra:
Can you go into the dialer, punch in ##786# and check your phone's refurb status.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
So glad I ruined my phone in time to still get a 2.2 stock non refurbished
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
*Positive* S-ON hboot 2.16

I know because I thought aww ****, thats not what I wanted to see. I had just read if I was 2.10 everything was ok, 2.16 I was screwed. Thats when fastboot found the image I uploaded to dropbox. I thought sure why not, and after it rebooted during the flash I was S-OFF hboot 2.10 I even thought maybe it was somehow temp during the flashing and was going to revert back some way. I verified w a reboot.
[EVO 4G General] OldCrowEW:
just locks up the dialer.. any other way to check?
[EVO 4G General] androidsupra:
Damn, forgot stock epst was limited these days. I'm not sure of another way other than to ask Sprint. Someone else may know a way.
[EVO 4G General] roids87:
First of all, ##786#, works just fine on a stock gb evo. The RUU posted in the op WILL NOT WORK with any s-on 2.16 bootloader. There's no need to go into detail because it has been posted atleast 5 times a day. I'm just going to clarify that trying to downgrade an s-on 2.16 bootloader WILL NOT WORK.
