to build the file yourself go to the root android source directory (mine is linux, but it looks like this "/home/ryan/android_source"), your's might look something like "C:/Source Codes/android/" or whatever. Once you navigate to that directory (via the command prompt... just go to start > run > and type in 'cmd' and hit enter, then use the 'cd' command to get there... e.g., "cd C:/Source Codes/android/"), once there, simply type 'make' and hit enter and it will start building everything, it might take a few minutes to complete. Then just go into the 'out' directory, then it's under "host/windows-x86/bin" (i'm not sure about the windows-x86 part, it might just be windows or something like it, i'm just assuming based on mine), once in that folder you'll have the fastboot as well as all of the other binary files ready to go. Then you can just type fastboot w/e w/e and it'll work just fine.

Here's my updated bootloader logo:

It's kind of difficult to see, my camera sucks... it's my fraternity letters with the crest in the background. Here's the image i used for it:

Ok, I'm sure I can do that, but now how do I get the android source onto my windows installation? Do I use cygwin? How, if so?

Thanks so much....

BTW, I've tried googling this, and still am, with no luck, thusfar.

Awesome, thanks for the help!

You mentioned that disconnect figured out how to do it with a dev bootloader - does this mean my rooted rc30 phone should be upgraded to a dev phone bootloader for it to work? Or will I be able to perform it on my modified rc30 v1.2 setup?

thanks :)

I have my splash.png. i cant find that easy to use convert tool metiond around page 6. I did download createg1splash.zip from first page, but im not sure what to do with it,lol. I also have cygwin but keep getting errors. I know this is vague but if someone can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated...guess i shouldnt have waited till 3 days ago to start learning linux, lol.

u really don't need to kno jack abt linux to get this thing working... re-read the fst post carefully... r u sure u hv the rt driver?? it shud show up as htc phone.. in device list...if not d'load it from the link provided and just use the converter to convert any image copy it to fastboot folder and just type in the cmds aforementioned viola.. lol.. hope tht helps.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] fastludeh22:
Ya i have the right dv. Ive used the adb several times. Ive changed my boot.gif/boot.mp3. Done the brower and other mods for the h build. See my prob is with the easy part, lol. Converting the image. You say use the converter, but ive followed the links and cant find the converter. Thanks anyway though
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] fastludeh22:
ok so i got it. i was def making it harder then it needed to be, lol. My prob was getting the splash.raw file. In my trials i found 2 ways, neither of which required linux or cygwin. 1st and easiest imo was using a prog called irfan. Its free. Dl it and its plugin. Then you open your splash.png file and save as .raw file with rgb option and volia properly sized .raw file. Other was simply imagemagick. 8bit for windows, then followed 1st page. After that it was simple since the rgb2565 and fastboot for windows was already compiled and linked on the first page.

Thanks for sticking with me guys and nnot flaming me, lol.

Now my only question is, can we change the time period each splash img is displayed? My first one shows for about 3-5 secs and second one for about 25 secs. Anyway to even this out a little?

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] komposure85:
as a noob to this process I was able to successfully take the image that I wanted as my replacement for the tmobile b&w logo and I was able to convert it properly and also flash it, but once my device reboots it first displays my new image and then immediately afterwards it still displays the tmobile b&w image.

the steps used were:

$ convert -depth 8 splash.png rgb:splash.raw

# Make sure it is 460800 bytes long!

$ rgb2565 < splash.raw > splash.raw565

# Triple-check size before flashing! 307200 bytes

$ fastboot flash splash1 splash.raw565

$ fastboot reboot

any ideas why I am still viewing the tmobile logo???

I realized that I only flashed the timeout image...after properly updating things are fine.......hind sight is 20/20 after you completely research the the thread

i only have one suggestion, re-flash the custom boot.img. that's strange tho don't see why that would happen... Why? because the SPL and custom boot.img (Splash) is not connected

there in two different partitions(kind of) different places on the ramdisk well i hope re-flash fixes your colleague's issue

I cannot produce fastboot for Windows because compiling the Android source on Windows is an undocumented procedure and I ran into a great deal of problems trying to compile it using cygwin. Google never intended on supporting building the Android source code from Windows anyways. So, if you don't have Linux or Mac, you are going to have a very tough time doing this.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Stericson:
No sweat we were all noobs at one time.

This should all be done on a linux box, if your not on a linux box then I can't help since I know nothing about macs.

1. find an image you like

2. edit it with your favourite editing suite and scale it to 320x480

3. after scaling it, convert the colorspace to 256 colors (8-bit)

4. Save it as a PNG without alpha channel/transparency.

5. Use the convert tool from the ImageMagick toolkit (use cygwin, or a linux box): convert -depth 8 splash.png rgb:splash.raw

type, in a terminal, sudo apt-get install imagemagick

then, type, in a terminal, convert -depth 8 splash.png rgb:splash.raw

where spash.png is your potential boot image.

6. Check that the splash.raw file is exactly 460800 bytes!

Make sure it is exactly 460800 bytes!

7. Compile the android tool called rgb2565 (gcc -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused-parameter -o rgb2565 to565.c)

Download the static versions of these posted ealier by Infernix and put them into /bin on your linux box.

8. Run the conversion command: rgb2565 < splash.raw > splash.raw565

9. Check that splash.raw565 is 307200 bytes. if it isn't, DO NOT FLASH IT ON YOUR PHONE. double-check your steps, something went wrong.

DOUBLE check!

10. Boot your phone in SPL mode (hold camera +power).

11. After SPL shows, plug in USB connector/cord/whateva and push trackball or hit back. SPL restarts and now shows FASTBOOT.

12. use fastboot devices to check whether if your phone is showing up. if it isn't, try it as root (user might not have permission to access the usb device).

You have to be root to see your device!

Download the static versions of these posted ealier by Infernix and put them into /bin on your linux box.

15. Double check that splash.raw565 is 307200 bytes. if it isn't, DO NOT FLASH IT ON YOUR PHONE.

16. Flash the splash image: fastboot flash splash1 splash.raw565

17. Reboot your phone to check: fastboot reboot

and that's all there is to it!

Ok, forgive me for my very limited understanding of Linux. I have set up ubuntu 32bit, wow that was fun, I set up eclipse and the SDK as well as Java JDK. Even played around with the hello Android app hahah.

I got ImageMagick working and I converted my spash.png to a .raw with the correct file size. I downloaded the static files of fastboot and rgb2565.

so, here is were i stand. When i try to run "sudo rgb2565 < splash.raw > splash.raw565"

i get rgb2565 command not found. i placed the files in the bin dir as stated so i am at a loss.

Also i am having trouble with getting adb to work i may be missing something because i am to understand there is no Linux driver for connecting the G1, were as i had to install one for vista to get the adb shell to work in the cmd window. Also i can't get ddms to run either.

again i am sorry if this is all beginner level questions but i am digesting this as best i can and am having a blast no doubt. I really want to be able to look at my G1 boot up and say "I did that."

Thx for any and all help.

"Ok i take that back i got ddms to run but the G1 does not show up when connected. so with out it showing up even if i can get the files converted to a proper format i'll still be hosed and unable to move to the phone."
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Stericson:
In order to get the G1 to show up you will need to obtain root.

Type su and then your root password, if any.

Now try again, it should work.

Hbguy What you are asking for is a little more in depth then what I can offer here. To set up a linux box on your machine requires knowledge of that machine, the amount of space you have, and the amount of ram available. There are very good tutorials available online that you can find through the use of google. I suggest you look at using ubuntu, learning what an ISO image is and how to burn one, learn what a terminal is, how to use it in a basic sense, and finally learn what root is. You will probably also need to learn about apt-get.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Autarkis:
Interesting, thanks for your work.

I'm having problems getting into fastboot mode. I consulted the Fastboot Cheat Sheat. I never see the skateboarding Android(s), but the Red-Green-Blue screen. Shortly after it first shows, it switches to a greenish screen where it very shortly displays "No Image File", but it's really too fast to read. I can see it every 4th time or so only anyway. After that, it goes Tri-Color for good and also says "serial0". When I plug in USB and push back, serial0 disappears, but nothing happens. Even in syslog, nothing on my PC seems to register the G1. Also, I can't leave the Tri-Color screen, even with MENU+SEND+END. I have to remove the battery to reboot.

I'm one of the ever growing unfortunate noobs having FW 1.0, Baseband Version 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29, 1.0 TC4-RC30 116143 ota-rel-keys,release keys.

Don't tell me I missed the part where it said that this only works with a rooted phone. :(

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Stericson:
