I tried using the "Flash Splash1" button that someone had posted earlier and I almost **** myself. I think my phone tried to load the file I originally used to root it. I was getting really nervous so I pulled the battery and, to my relief, it powered on and it booted normally. I'm sure that method works but I'm scared of it now.

I tried the original instructions and it rebooted my phone before I was ready so I did this in the command prompt (this was mentioned on the first page of posts):

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb shell

su

reboot bootloader

fastboot flash splash1 <copy and paste file name here>

fastboot reboot

Of course this will only work if you've downloaded the program, converted your picture and placed it in the tools directory of SDK.

Worked great for me. I couldn't be happier!

for LEAKERS who ROOTED, follow this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725047 ) to replace your stock bootloader THEN come back and do this process to replace your boot image.

I was a leaker and was getting the error when trying this process. Replacing the bootloader worked for me!

(just remember to do a NAND backup before you start ANY process that alters your phone... you never know =D

you will also need to re-flash any radio updates )

im running CELB 2.1 which uses cyanogen 6.0, it worked like a charm for me make sure you unzip all of the file into one folder and make sure your phone is on debugging i didnt even bother trying to use the adb commands or in fastboot loader or anything from the program i hit push splash image AFTER i changed it of course and sure enuf it flashed it and rebooted all on its own with my new splash image :)

I loaded the converter. It is an .rar file. That needs to be installed on my computer? Or phone...

Thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] CCCP4ever:
Unzip it using winrar or similar program on the computer. It will have a folder with converter in it. Run the file and convert. You will need S=OFF bootloader on your phone. Fastest and easiest way to do that is to flash it with battery pull trick. :) Here is really easy tutorial and file you need http://www.sendspace.com/file/g4n2q4 After you download the file, do not unzip it but just place it on your sd card. Make sure its not in any folder. Do not rename the file. Turn off your phone, hold vol down and power phone on. It will scan for the file for a minute. After it is done it will have some options where one of them is to install the file. Remove battery cover before you do that and prepare to pull the battery. Hit the install option ( hit vol up button) it will start the install. Once the screen goes black and boots back up pull the battery. Presto you have S=OFF bootloader now and can flash splash1.

Droid Boot Logo Generator v1.10.10.22

You can change your Motorola Droid (Droid 1 Only) very fast and easily using this free program. It lets you pick the background color and any bitmap to replace the boring original black and white Motorola logo. It then generates a .sbf file that can be flashed to your phone using RSD Lite, without fully re-flashing your phone. PM me for download link!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] firefoxdude:
For all those who dont know there is a easier way to get S=Off now. Find erisengspl.zip its in the forums, put on sd card. Boot into recovery and do a nand backup. Boot into the Clockwork recovery and apply the zip. When it starts back up do a nand restore.

You now have S=Off and you still have your rom :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] CCCP4ever:
You do not need Clockwork, just use AmonRA recovery. You do not have to make nand backup (although always recommended) and you definitely do not have to restore with nand after flashing bootloader=) Just put on sd card, reboot into recovery and flash .zip file.

erisengspl.zip
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] firefoxdude:
Well I use rom manager for flashing roms and updates. But any recovery will do :)

After getting a bunch of very clear and helpful instructions and ideas from bftb0, I was finally able to get my Eris communicating properly with the computer (driver issue) and back on track with this. Thanks very much! The fastboot worked, I started wth the DE Dust you linked in the first post. Looking forward to creating some of my own.

@CCCP4ever : bftb0 posted in another thread that after his own testing he found only 1.49.0000 S-ON worked with erisengspl.zip. Another user had 1.46.0000 S-ON and bricked it trying to use erisengspl.zip.

How does one convert the images to rgb565 on linux?

The program in the op is for windows.

TO-DO in next versions:

- rewrite for Linux & Mac (into Mono)

&

There is two files, "RGB565Convertor.exe" and "librgb565.dll".

Any other alternative programs, or would someone with windows be willing to convert a few images and upload them somewhere?:D

If someone has some free time and wants to convert this that would be awesome

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abbas:
Android has been ported to most Winmo phones. Why is it that the reverse, Winmo on android phone, is not possible?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sirgatory:
It is definitely possible. It would just require:

1. An artificial bootloader/emulator to be coded for android that could run a Windows CE kernel

2. Kernel adjustments for different phones to emulate different WM hardware/software functions

3. Specialized windows mobile ROMs to be used with aforementioned kernel.

So who would want to go through all that trouble to have an outdated and clunky operating system emulated on their device?

Hi. i am trying to install the lateesta nd greatest version of the usb drivers for this phone but there seems to not be any.

i have taken a closer look in the inf file and every android phone except the Desire is mentioned on it.

It cannot be installed using that INF file because it doesnt recognise that phone yet.

How as people here managed to get ADB working with this device?
[Desire General] bcmobile:
If it's a 'normal' inf file, you should be able to just add the device ID to the list. If you can post a copy of the inf file and device ID, I'll make the changes for you.
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
here mate. cheers
[Desire General] irkan:
deleted due to lack of concentration :)
[Desire General] mroek:
I don't think that would work. You've just duplicated the info for the Nexus one under a different name. However, the name itself is just a comment, so in effect, you've just added redundant information in the file.

My guess is that the Desire has a different USB ID than the N1.
[Desire General] mroek:
***Deleted***
[Desire General] irkan:
yes you're right, my bad, didnt notice that the ; actually indicates comments
[Desire General] mroek:
Perhaps you could try USBDeview to see the USB ID of the phone?
[Desire General] sh500:
I'd also be interested in the driver.
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
i will give it a go
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
i used that usbdriver tool but cant figure out whats needed in the inf file.

Their is no device id but there is a device name with some long values:

0000.001a.0007.004.000.000.000.000.000

The only other info i can see is the vendor Id product ib,usb class, usb subclass and usb protocol

how am i suppose to apply that to this:

;Google NexusOne

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0D02

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0D02&MI_01

[Desire General] irkan:
in the HTC Active Sync, ... in the SD Card that came with the device, .. there arent any drivers???
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
dont know mate. i dont use the original sd card that came with the device. If you got access to a pc and your device, can you see if you can double check for me and upload the inf file driver for it? cheers
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
Any other ideas? anyone got this working yet?
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I don't see what the device has got to do with it.

I had installed the ADB Driver back when I had my G1. It works fine with the desire, with no changing or installing new drivers.
[Desire General] mhewitson:
Ditto, no problems here with Ubuntu Linux.
[Desire General] scotch whisky:
HTC Sync is on the SD card. Just copy it across to a PC and run it. It contains the correct ADB USB drivers.
[Desire General] bcmobile:
Because the device ID is in the INF file.

The only relevant section is:

;HTC Desire

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0D02

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_0D02&MI_01

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E11

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4E12&MI_01

Change the name (for your ref only) and the sections in blue to the device ID which you can find in the device properties in device manager. The device will be listed as UNKNOWN DEVICE until you have a valid driver). No special tools required.
[Desire General] JTHM:
Android Debug Bridge

I understand that it provides low level access to the phone's OS from the desktop and works in conjunction with the Android SDK to allow developers to prove applications and tweaks on test phones.

It's not useful to the layperson/end user.

Having to discuss it here in the General section is one good reason why we now need the extended sections in this forum.

click file, add/remove snapin

add 'computer management snapin' OK,OK,OK

under a heading like 'system tools' you'll find the event log. the events you are looking for will be in the system log.

[Desire General] AlxMAX:
In my case, the following discussion helped: code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10569. The first comment contains a link to a android_winusb.inf which contains the information about HTC Desire. Because in the SDK that I have, the USB drivers are newer, I have modified their INF file based on those pieces of information. Eventually, I have performed the following steps:

uninstall all the HTC drivers from Control Panel → Programs and Features.

download USBDeview and uninstall any HTC related driver (you have to read the properties of the entries to see what's related to HTC). Be careful not to delete the wrong drivers!

in the android_winusb.inf file of your Google USB driver kit, add this line to each of the sections [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64]

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87&MI_01

plug your phone and wait until the OS tells you that it can't intall the drivers.

go to Control Panel → Device Manager and look for the device. It should have a yellow mark on it.

update its drivers and tell the wizard to look for the drivers in the Google driver kit directory. In the end, the Device Manager should look like in the attached image.
