Man....I have been looking ALL OVER TE PLACE for this question to be answered!! I really hope someone can help me here!!!

My USB works fine, but when I boot my phone into fastboot, my laptop wont find it! But when I boot up my phone normal, it finds it no problem!!!! Man, Im soooo frickin close to this its not even funny!!!!!!! Can someone please give me a had!!!! Thanks!
[Android Themes] holmes901:
Same with me I am getting waiting for device when I get the the final step.

I have the 1.6 SDK so yeah I am a bit curios it was working fine when I was on the 1.5 SDK
[Android Themes] MasterBunnyFu:
I had this problem at first, but was able to fix it. Check the device manager when you have your phone plugged in and in fastboot. Look for any devices with the yellow icon and try either updating or uninstalling the drivers. If that doesn't work, or it doesn't show up in device manager, try uninstalling the drivers when the phone is booted normally, then reconnect when in fastboot to install the drivers again. Hope that helps.
[Android Themes] sockpuppet4:
Have you installed the drivers for fastboot already?

If not, power down your phone. Plug the USB into the pc and the phone. Boot into fastboot (hold BACK while pushing POWER). This should give you the fastboot driver prompt. Point it to the same place as your ADB driver. SDK\USB_Driver and let it do it thing.

Alternately, you can go to the Q&A section and read the thread ADB,Fastboot, and Nandroid for dummies. In the very first post, there is a program called USBDeview you can download and it will show you, and allow you to uninstall the 3 drivers your phone is using when you plug it in. Delete them and try the aforementioned.
[Android Themes] holmes901:
OK going o uninstall everything that belongs to Android and discard the AndroidSDK folder that I have now on my C drive then going to redo everything...But later on tonight since I am still working. Will let you know what happens.
[Android Themes] shoemeistah:
thank you man, it worked now. using android 1.6
[Android Themes] jjjackson56:
cant get to work now

Ok so I I've flashed many splash images with no problem but then got a virus or something with some type of crazy thing.. anyways I've had to reinstall windows and all adb drivers in the process I cant seem to get the createG1splash program to work I've downloaded it times but cant get it to run. So my question is does anyone have a working program? And no i am not a noob so bear with me.

EDIT: nevrmind I forgot to install .NET framework - duh
[Android Themes] holmes901:
OK so I have now idea how I did this but I think for me I have a theory...I downloaded the 1.6 sdk and overwrite t6he files that I previously had and well I went into fastboot and it worked fine now going to try on the GF's phone and see what happens. I don't know as to what SPL she has I did hers with the one click root method so we will see
[Android Themes] ccriffman:
Hey PSPHacker- I am a windows system and network engineer, but doing my best to learn linux. The more I use it, the more I hate windows, and it appears from your signature you are probably an experienced linux user.

Anyway, what is the easiest way for me to redo my first splash screen? I redid it once with that BSF3000 batch file in windows a while back, but since I redid the windows partition ( only 'cause my wife wants it) It doesn't fly. And in my ubuntu partition, even though everything is installed in my tools directory, with all the proper ( I think) path changes, I cant seem to get my device seen when in fastboot. If you could put together a quick "how to" so I can see what I am screwing up, I would really appreciate it- Chris
[Android Themes] nphaskins:
I have been at this for a solid hour now. Nothing. I've ready damn near every thread on this topic, and have done everything that others have done to get this to work. I am on a 64 bit Windows 7 rig. I can connect to ADB, I have the right drivers, I've un-installed and re-installed the drivers over and over again, and still nothing. Still says waiting for device.

Any idears?
[Android Themes] nphaskins:
OK so after a couple of hours I finally figured out the "waiting on device." ALL of my drivers we're right, it showed up as HTC Dream in the Device Manager, and I have the Hard SPL.

I solved it by deleting everything out of the fastboot folder EXCEPT for fastboot, mysplash.rgb565 (if you've already converted one), and splash.raw.565.

[Android Themes] grandomegabosses:
seriously man, the tut is very comprehensive. if you can't understand it, you might wanna consider researching a bit more before you flood the forum with useless threads
[Android Themes] he3r0:
in fastboot mode when connected to the computer type in terminal window:

fastboot devices

for adb connect to the pc, but do not mount usb device (like for transferring files) type in terminal adb devices

If your phone is in correct mode, adb or fastboot, and you still are getting waiting for device, chance is that you are using wrong drivers.
[Android Themes] he3r0:

nvm guys i did it on my pc with windows xp!
[Android Themes] Amdathlonuk:
My new one.......... mainly becasue people call me AMD for short.

And I called my Hero AMDroid as it makes sense! as it also says 'Am Droid'

Anyway enough of the waffling, this is a mash between a few other screens people have posted so, thanks guys!
[Android Themes] cb7tuner93:
This Is what I settled on.

More Boot Screens

Hey All,

Here's some more boot screens I've been working on. Hope you like em! The ZIP file has all of the images, but in PNGs.
[Android Themes] mrandroid:
I created a section on my site for splash images, rather than going through pages of posts... I would love if some users uploaded their splash images there...

This will make it easier to find one you like. You don't need to register or anything to upload an image so it'll just take a min... go to: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/galleries/android-splash-images/ and click on ADD PHOTO on the top left... I'd appreciate it tons... there's also another gallery for backgrounds... Thank You!

Problem

am i supposed to make a FASTBOOT folder in the desktop? i already did and i placed the file "mysplash.rgb565" in it.

on the CMD

this is what i get wen i try to load it.

C:\Documents and Settings\DJTOONJR\Desktop\FastBoot>fastboot flash splash1 mysplashrgb.565

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

i already got the ADB to work. i also tried using the

BSF3000\bootflash file and everytime i do it, it just says "waiting for device"

any ideas?

SPL-10.55.3000

Radio-2.22.19.261
[Android Themes] JackCrackerMan:
I think you're going to need to update your SPL... because if I'm not mistaken the one you are running (10.55.3000) is the stock SPL. (though I can't remember, I just use the Danger SPL)

Also, have you gotten Fastboot to load? ADB doesn't work in fastboot, you have to actually use the Fastboot command lines.
[Android Themes] andjohn:

Nexus Splash screen?
[Android Themes] astate:
Sharing these two I had on my G1
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Got bored today and wanted to make one. This came out, and it sucks. It looks fine on phone, just not on the comp.
[Android Themes] Ace42:
Should look better on phone, looks like it has jagged lines/ lol
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Yeah, I know but it look MUCH better on the phone- I can't stop rebooting. This and the nexus boot make it pretty sexy.

edit: nvm it still has jagged lines if you get close up, might go back and change that. But who has their eyes glued to the screen anyway... *raises hand*

Also random fact, in gchat if you put asterisks around text it becomes bold
[Android Themes] Ace42:
Didnt know that, always learning something new :o
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Found that out today while trying to emphasize something

Anyways back on topic, this one is less jagged- sorry still a photoshop virgin
[Android Themes] Ace42:
What would the people at tmo say if they see all this fancy stuff on the G1? :D
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
They wouldn't know what to say, they weren't programmed to understand it
[Android Themes] archboy69:
While I think all the splashscreen are very interesting. I was hoping for the one with the android waving from the htc logo? Does anybody have that I might want to try?
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Do you want the One that says hero, or the one that is just the robot?
[Android Themes] archboy69:
I saw one that just had the robot peeking out on one of the roms and thought that would be a cool bootscreen!
[Android Themes] archboy69:
I really liked the one with just the robot peeking out from the screen. I had seen it on some of the rom but rather just have that as a bootscreen.
[Android Themes] archboy69:
I saw the robot peeking animation in one of the roms and thought that it would be a great bootscreen. I'm surprised no one hasn't asked for it after reading through the link.
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
Not sure which you wanted, so did both
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
I have it, if you want it. Not sure if it will work on anything other than hero roms though
[Android Themes] archboy69:
oops. Sorry about the multiple post. didn't realize it would do that when I refreshed! Yeah, that's the one! You don't think it will work on the the cyan rom... :(
[Android Themes] JAguirre1231:
I'm not sure, I would ask someone else. But pm me and we'll see if we can get it working
[Android Themes] ccunningham83:

how to flash boot screens on ppc macs

I noticed that because of my crappy computer many mods are out of my reach, but not this one.

Here is how I did it if anyone cares

1. Get metamorph

2. Get a metamorph theme for your Mod that has a new splash screen

3. Unzip metamorph theme to your desktop

4. Open the theme's folder and find framework-res, then open it

5. Click on assets

6. Then images

7. Now you should see the two .png files

8. Edit them as u please (or make completely new ones)

9. Put them back in ...framework-res/assets/images (make sure they replace old .png's i left the names the same as the original .png's to be safe)

10. At the root of your sdcard you should find an "AndroidThemes" folder, open it (If it's not there just make it)

11. Take the entire folder that you unzipped earlier (the entire theme folder) and put it in the "AndroidThemes" folder

12. Open Metamorph and click existing theme then select the theme control file from that theme.

13. Apply the framework-res.apk file

14. Reboot a wait for success

Hope this helps someone!!!:)
[Android Themes] Ace42:
This if for boot screen(splash screen), thats the screen that says Tmobile G1, metamorph changes the boot screen that says android.

[Android Themes] BobbyDukes707:
So, about ready to stab myself in the eye... When I had Hard SPL everything was dandy, two custom boot screens... but now I have Danger and things are wonky... Device manager has phone listed as "HTC Bootloader" and when I try to run the command I get "waiting for device"... I can only guess that I have the wrong drivers but I cant seem to find the right ones... I tried flashing back to hard spl and my "doesn't require Danger SPL" gets stuck in a boot loop... so can someone point me in the right direction? I tried searching answers in this thread but got nothing out of it except a tidy fastboot folder...

So someone mentioned about getting the peaking android from the hero bootscreen but it only works on hero, 1.6 doesnt support gif or whatever, but today i rooted my friends g1, and the 1.0 boot screen has a android on the side and it shines white all around it at once, not scrolling like our boot screens, so how is that possible?
[Android Themes] Ace42:
Thats not a moving image its 2 PNGS:

1.Pic of andro

2.A pick of a pattern that flashes over the other PNG
[Android Themes] olvap377:
i made a boot screen as a gif and was wondering how i can turn this into metamorph

pls leave me feed back on what you think

with arm waving

without arm waving

new deluxe with linux waving aswell

with alternating waves

amy sujjestions or requests will be appreciated
[Android Themes] Ace42:
This is for splash screens my friend:p

The "Tmobile G1" screen not the boot up screen..

This thread is to replace the splash screen(first thing seen)
[Android Themes] olvap377:
ok is it possible for the splash screen to be a gif?
[Android Themes] Ace42:
No its in a specific format and no it cant be made into a gif either.
[Android Themes] philosophics:
what he said...

forgot to add the correct file for correct screen size.

my post, page 32 updated.
[Android Themes] helloblaine:
With the program can I make a GIF animation, then when it converts to the file type, will it still be animated?
[Android Themes] Ace42:
This is for splash screen the first screen that you see not the boot screen :p

You can only put normal non-gif pics onto the phone that means no animated anything no multitouch browser either.

[Android Themes] ste1164:
How long does it take for the waiting for device to go? Mine has been stuck on it for quite a while.
[Android Themes] Ace42:
It will only say wait if your using the wrong drivers.
[Android Themes] sassyness77:
Okay, but i always thought that the second image that flashes was scrolling?

Instead its a white border that pops up all around at once, not right to left?
[Android Themes] umbrae:
Solution:

So what I had to do was to use the fastboot file in "\Android SDK\tools\" directory instead of the "\boot images\fastboot\".

And copy the custom image you create, the "mysplash.rgb565" file, on to the "\tools\" directory as well.

Also, make sure the Environment Variable is set.

I can't remember if I found it here or in another android forum.

My brother - a rabid iPhone iFanboy - and I go back and forth in the "My Phone Kicks Your Phone's Ass, and I Have The App to Prove It" war. Though, I must admit, FartDroid vs iFart (or whatever it's called on iPhone) was a fun draw. :p

Bootloader reads fastboot, and device manager finds the ADB interface.

Not sure where it is going wrong.

Whats is splash2 for the MyTouch 3G? Wondering If I can use it on that device.

Also, i made a splash.bat file for myself that auto flashes the mysplash.rgb565 file.

Open up notepad and paste:

cd C:\android\tools

fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565

Save as 'all files' and on the end of the file name put .bat

the cd location may differ for you. Just change whatever is after cd to where your folder is located.

Hope I sorta helped anyone?

hi guys,

let me ask you one question:

can I change my awful orange splash with SPL: 1.76.2007

Radio: 6.35.10.18 inside of my htc magic?

I would only do this step I think, cause I rooted my phone and flash another spl:

8. copy and paste the command line by line

fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565

fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565 You dont get a splash2 option with the "NEW SPL"

fastboot reboot

I want to be sure, so why I'm asking ;] sorry for my english btw. waiting for reply.
