No.

The zips in the post that you quoted can only be flashed in RUU mode, not in recovery.

Just follow the steps that you also quoted.

I just stumbled upon this and it looks like it might solve one of the mysteries I'm currently working on. Would you mind checking out my post (Found Here) and commenting if this would be a good way to complete the updating I want to do?
[HTC One S] Samstag494:
Hey, sorry if it was asked already but I want to be really sure with things like Bootloader. Can I use the files to downgrade from 2.16 to 2.15? Im S-Off CID is T-Mobile, its unlocked and a german One S. Thanks in advance
[HTC One S] Darknites:
No don't use this to downgrade or you brick it. You need to ruu firmware or a full ruu.
[HTC One S] darkenedpath:
Just want to say thanks for throwing the tools out there for others. :) I know a little about stuff, "rooting, s-off, flash firmware, blah blah blah" but im still kinda a noob, and I want to figure out how to do stuff like this, and im hoping to get the hang of making nice splash screens for my M7 with this, as long as it is still working and I can do so in recovery. Thanks man.

I'm on hboot 2.15.0000 and I'd like to avoid messing with that just yet (just finally s-off and starting to mess with radios). Is there no way at all to change this for 2.15 and 2.16? Because that bootup has almost made my wife throw the phone out a bloody window at 2am.

HTC design meeting, "Hey, you know what these blokes would probably just love? Scorched retinas. Bet it's great for the AMOLED longevity to have all this blinding white everywhere."

"Make it happen!"
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Splash screen isn't dependent on hboot.
[HTC One S] senselocke:
But the first post says... *re-reads* ...ah. Yeah, reading the whole thing is important, eh?

So... I'm still confused. I used the webtool to generate a .zip. I have s-off and 2.15. Do I flash in fastboot or in recovery? Why does "fastboot flash splash1 splash.img" not work?

What's the final, up-to-the-minute approach please? (and thanks for the response to the very, very dumb initial question from me, instead of a simple dismissal or ignore!)
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Flash the zip in recovery.

Hboot 2.16?

Could you do? Hboot 2.16 as well for the HTC one S?

I'm sure I did the spaces but will make sure when I test later.

So it's 6144k, not 6114k like I typo'd earlier...

The dd command should report how much it transferred and how fast...

[HTC One S] Darknites:
It does say that, here a pic I took last time I tried. Do you want me to run that command on my phone to see if its different?
[HTC One S] Orical:
Everything we posted is for terminal emulator phone side not for desktop. It looks right though.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Personally I use adb shell, but that isn't it either, since Orical can flash from a terminal emulator too. It's the same shell.

The output from dd confirms that you're typing it right and put the spaces in the right places.

For now (until we have conflicting information) it looks like maybe this works on HBOOT-1.06 and -1.09 but not -1.13.

-Jobo
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Thanks for the help anyway guys, will add some more thanks when my net is back up :(.
[HTC One S] Orical:
Yeah man sorry we couldn't come up with a solution between us, it would be different if one of us had the device in hand but maybe there will be a work around at some point. Good luck man.
[HTC One S] klin1344:
Yup I can confirm that when I dd'd the quietly.565 file into mmcblk0p14 it succeeded but on reboot the stock boot splash still showed...I'm on hboot 1.13.

Seems like we really need S-Off now, especially for those on hboot 1.09 and up.

No problem mate thanks a lot for trying to help.

Works great on Hboot 1.06. Thanks!!
[HTC One S] wh4g:
Thanks guys... u rock
[HTC One S] havikx:
I can't seem to flash the image either. I tried the zip and I manually dd the image. Nothing. Tmo one s with 1.06 hboot. Ideas?
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
No ideas for now, sorry. Orical could flash on a t-mo with 1.09.

When you dd the image and then extract that same partition, do you get back what you dd'd in or do you get the stock splash? Can you also try if it makes a difference to fastboot boot into a recovery image?

Even if it not about the boot splash, it's still interesting to know which factors determine what you can flash into emmc partitions.

Thanks,

-Jobo
[HTC One S] Orical:
I don't have any issues but theres more going on with these devices than we actually know.

If you live in the us and your on hboot 1.09 or 1.06 this should be good, this shouldn't be hit or miss though.
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
Must be an HBOOT issue. I changed my CID so that I could unbrand the phone and installed the "default" HTC EU 1.78 RUU. After that I got an OTA update for Android 4.0.4. In any case, my HBOOT is v. 1.14 and flashing doesn't seem to do anything...
[HTC One S] Orical:
Man I'm staying right were I am then, unless some unbelievable update comes out that makes the phone 10x better than it is now I'm not updating anything.
[HTC One S] v3n3:
I never knew that the HBoot gets updated when installing the OTA Update ...

Well, flashing doesnt work anymore because of HBOOT, thats why we also have to flash the new TWRP Version.

Did you try it by hand ( shell ) ?

That SHOULD still work, since we can also still write new Kernels.
[HTC One S] Orical:
That's what I was thinking too, people reporting the newer hboots have to use a more direct approach but unless they blocked it you should be able to still flash manually.
[HTC One S] harpreet1988:
Can we get a black HTC Quietly Brilliant splash as a flashable zip please?
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Here you go.

@v3n3 and Orical: I believe that those with newer HBOOTs can only flash boot images / kernels through fastboot, not from recovery.

-Jobo
[HTC One S] ragnarokmk2:
What would be the exact cmd commands to flash wiht fastboot?

I also tried using the tool from here (also includes a very handy image converter!): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1770816

but I get following error when trying to flash under fastboot with it:

(bootloader) signature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

Curiously, it doesn't detect my device under ADB mode. Also, running a cmd prompt and manually typing adb devices doesn't list any device IDs (returns a blank list) but I have no problem executing adb shell and writing commands in it. (for example, I backed my mmcblk0p14 partition via the dd command that way).

Starting to bang my head on this one....

EDIT: Do you guys, who successfully flashed a splash image have some sort of busybox installed or init.d capabilities?
[HTC One S] Orical:
I found that the latest version of busybox didn't have everything needed so you want to use version 1.19.3 try to stay on this version as others don't seem to do as well, I do have initd running a few things but I don't think its gonna matter with this. I would look at whether or not the phone connects to the computer regularly without adb and if it does then you might have something out of place like the path in adb.
[HTC One S] clubkevin11:
thanks a lot mate! I've been wanting to do this for a while :D
[HTC One S] Smokem_I:
Thanks for the great guide! Everything worked perfectly and even got my first custom splash flashed! The zip you provided makes it super easy to change them on the go! Much easier than bootloader or terminal emulator! Thanks again, hopefully someone will get rid of the red text soon ;)
[HTC One S] Orical:
That's gonna take s-off but if you use a stock signed boot image it won't be there.
[HTC One S] Smokem_I:
Yeah I know but I can't handle stock lol. I use CM9 at the moment until CM10 is ready. So unfortunately I see it every reboot... Not a huge problem but it's just ugly lol. I thought we would have to wait for s-off in order to change the splash... Thankfully it only requires an old hboot :D
[HTC One S] TramainM:
I have a request
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Granted.

The white letters 'audio' in 'beatsaudio' are a bit deteriorated, and the red warning text just touches the yellow and green rings..

..but I am not judgmental.
[HTC One S] TramainM:
Thanks! I tried making it myself and failed.
[HTC One S] Orical:
I'll be surprised if we ever get s-off to be honest, there have been attempts but it seems we are lacking the people that can actually pull it off.
[HTC One S] Ashaman_Kupo:
Can I get the stock boot slpash?
[HTC One S] Orical:
Yeah I'll upload it for you.

from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
I got a question in PM about this, thought I'd answer in here in case anyone else would find it useful.

To apply that file Orical uploaded

, you can...

manually dd it into the emmc:

* put it on your sdcard

* from an adb shell or terminal: (either in recovery or while booted; make sure you're root, otherwise su)

dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p14.img.bak of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

...or you can make a flashable .zip and flash it in recovery:

* take one of the flashable .zips I posted in this thread, unzip it

* rename the .bak file to splash.565 and replace the one from the .zip

* zip it back up, put on sdcard, flash from recovery

On your next reboot you're presented with the ugly stock white boot splash.

-Jobo
[HTC One S] Orical:
I didn't rename it by accident but to make it easier just rename it by deleting (.bak) and you can do it that way, my bad about that one. Thanks for posting the method I was on my phone when I caught the post so I just uploaded it and posted it from there.
[HTC One S] Ashaman_Kupo:
got it.
[HTC One S] BL4zD:
hehehe, love it! thanks
[HTC One S] :
I quit!

I've tried dd'ing it, I've tried flashing it. Hell at one point I spun around on the spot three times whispering 'HTC One S you are amazing so please work' under a full moon with all the planets in alignment and still all I ever see is that horrible white screen.

Thanks for your efforts though good to see people figuring this stuff out for us mere mortals.
[HTC One S] ChaseMDuffin:
Oh man, maybe you were the one that got the one demon phone that HTC made just to screw with us. You know, the one that they announced? Its just like getting a golden ticket in your chocolate bar, except you don't get a golden ticket. You get a One that can't have custom splash screens. ;)

Seriously though, i'm convinced it's either in your file placement or the way you're formatting the file. The easier way imo is to flash it. Check your resolution (540 x 960), save it as a bmp. Grab ffmpeg and use the commands on the second page of this thread to convert it to a .565 file and place it in the correct folder, (cache I think), then flash it using your Recovery. Best of luck mate.

Also this for y'all ;p

http://i45.tinypic.com/2lb2o12.jpg
[HTC One S] :
^^^^ That's brilliant! ^^^^

As for the file I'm actually using the zip file from the first post so not my own conversion. The file has been taken from the zip file and place in the root directory of my sdcard. I've done this before with all my previous phones but this one just won't stick. I've also tried flashing as asked for a page or two back to boot into recovery from bootloader or from like I use quickboot and just for good measure from the extended apm I have with the rom I use.

I'll try again and see what else I can think of. And when it comes to android fella you'll do well to learn....

Just because something works on one phone don't mean it will on another. Android phones are famous for it.

Edit: When I do the dd it always gives the output 2025+0 in and 2025+0 out then states its transfered the data but to me that doesn't look right. I admit to being a windows gimp so have little experience with linux but surely it should output a +1 for file in? And just to double check my commands are correct...

su

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

How can I put it back to the stock one or will flashing the RUU do it for me?

Running a RUU will get it back to stock, but that's a tad overkill.

Orical posted the stock image in post #72. Use that one. The post right below it explains how to apply it.

[HTC One S] Orical:
Make sure you set it to 960x540 but that's the easiest method "paint.net".
[HTC One S] Orical:
Actually its important to get use to the commands and more so to understand them. Jobo does a great job packaging them for people but there will be a day he's not around to be able to help. Personally I want to learn all I can to better myself.
[HTC One S] cat2115:
Not sure I did wrong, I got rainbow after flashing my own splash. I change jpg size to 960x540 using paint.net and save as PNG. Then u did ffmpeg command chang png as posted here. Flash it and I got rainbow line looking.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
So at least the flashing was successful. :P

Do you kind of recognize your picture in the rainbow or not at all?

Make sure your image is 540 wide and 960 high, not the other way round.
[HTC One S] cat2115:
I might size it the opposite. Basically, it's not rainbow. I had white/gray and some line in the middle. First i convert size and save from jpg to png using paint.net, then I use below code

You dont have to change it to png it will convert it from jpeg

Online .zip generator

I made a little 'php & shell'-doodle where you can upload a picture and it should hopefully return a bootsplash.zip file that you can flash from recovery.

For those who have trouble converting pictures or making zips or manually dd'ing.

Upload your favorite 540x960 picture here:

http://jobiwan.net:81/bootsplash.php

Flash resulting .zip file in recovery.

If you're S-On, you must be on hboot 1.06 or 1.09. If you're S-Off, you're fine on any hboot.

Excuse my slow pipe. Should it become popular :rolleyes:, I will hand it over to someone who can properly host it.

DONT FLASH these generated flashable zips on other devices!!!

However, it should be very easily portable to other phones. As long as the splash can be changed by dd'ing a raw rgb565 image into a block device.

The two things that are specific to the One S is the resolution (540x960) and the block device (/dev/block/mmcblk0p14).

Has anyone had the balls yet to hexedit the 1.06 hboot .nb0 file at offset 00BD6F0 and then flash the edited version using the bootloader downgrade method?

Im curious... It may require some balls as I am not sure if there is an internal command of some sort (ie a checksum type thing) that verifies that its an original bootloader file...

Part of me says there would be any issues if you hex edit correctly and simply replace all the characters with spaces where the phrase is located and dont try to do anything more or less (ie either replace the current characters with spaces or other characters, no more no less).

Just curious! :)
