Hey JSZESZE, Where In The Heck Does The File Go On The Phone? lol

I Dont Have Access To A PC? Im On OS X.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] qteezyfosheezy:
How do i apply this? it keeps applying the previous black one i had installed from the frist one. how do i make a new splash.nb for the bmp you made for me??
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
I would have made it a nb but i dont use pcs and nobody ever makes a mac friendly program. Anyways, a few post above yours is a link to convert to splash.")

Anybody know where the splash .nb is located on the phone?

frking yes man thnx
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
Anybody know where the splash.nb is located on the phone?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JSZESZE:
you can flash the file in OS X with Fast boot

you would need the Android SDK for Mac

and i posted a link ti the fastboot-mac.zip on the second page here i think

then you would just follow the command prompts from the first post

im pretty sure you cant just replace the files, it needs to be flashed
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
Thank You.

i have the mac sdk and the file you posted for mac fastboot. my mac doesnt recognize the command "fastboot" tho. and i got on a pc and it didnt either. im doing something wrong i guess. any help?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
Ok, ill redownload the sdk & mac fastboot. and try all over. any sdk setup instructions???

you are in bootloader and have your phone connected via usb? what error are you getting? what commands are you entering exactly. I can help but i need to know whats goin on
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
@Imaxreed thank you.

Where do I place the sdk folder. Is that all I got to do to install it(place the folder)? Where did you put the "fastboot-mac.zip" at? Does my phone need to be in fastboot before i connect(pretty sure it does right?)? And what prompts did you follow adding fastboot mac? Im sorry but I'm not a terminal user.

Thanks again times a million. :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] casual864:
Well, I try to enter the commands "fastboot devices" with terminal under the android sdk tools directory.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nolandrew:
Rydah805, did you get help getting it figured out on mac?

I finally figured it out if you still need help.

1. unzip the fastboot-mac.zip into the sdk /tools folder

2. make sure your phone is in fastboot (start holding volume up and power button)

3. use "./fastboot-mac" without the quotes to run the fastboot code.

it took me many attempts to get it to work on mac because the first mac fastboot i downloaded was fastboot not fastboot-mac (code you type should match what the filename is in the /tools folder). and then i finally got the code to work but the device was not showing up and i realized i forgot to put the phone in fastboot... lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] RickBaller:
How do you create the .nb file used for flashing a new splash screen. I saw the .bmp in the zip you provided but I don't know how to make the partner .nb file. If it's something I can't do myself can I provide a .bmp for someone to create the rest of the .zip?

Much Appreciated.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JSZESZE:
the .nb file is provided in the zip

unless you are asking about the default white bmp that i provided in there..... if so there is a thread that has a image converter app

this is an awesome splash screen, much better than having a mini star in my hand everytime i power up the phone.

I had went and saw toy story 3, and then saw it again with some other friends. since I had already seen it, I was bored, so I fwas flashing a different rom while still in the movie theater. not paying attention, rebooted, the whole theater seemed to light up with the white splash screen.

and this definitely goes better with fresh's black boot animation.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] texodore:
I had this problem too. I figured out I needed an engineering SPL. However, when I flashed that, I could fastboot but it wouldn't load the OS - it went straight into recovery. I think this has to do with 2.2 somehow. So be careful and get an updated SPL just in case you need to flash it back.

What I had to do was temporarily flash an old ENG SPL (0.76 or something), boot into hboot/fastboot, change the splash screen, reboot into recovery, and flash an updated SPL (0.95 or something). Something like that.

what worked for me:

the old 76 hboot had me stuck on bootloader, even when putting it in a recovery. i did a nandroid backup, opened the amon ra recovery zip, and replaced the splash1.nb0 with the splash i had. i then flashed amon ra by putting that pc36img.zip file in the sd root + power + down. lastly, i restored my nandroid backup.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jdmsohc22:
So since I'm on HBoot 0.93 that I can't flash custom splash images..??

On further reading, it seems to mean I don't have NAND unlocked... Ive seen this terminology all over the place but I just ignored it because I see "S-off" at the top of my screen. Doesn't this mean that I have NAND completely unlocked? I rooted following the step by step idiots guide and djrez videos which uses unrevoked3.

The more I learn the more I feel like a noob....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gslogen:
seems there is a way to get your fastboot comands back for this and you need to downgrade hboot to 0.76.200 and i did and was able to flash my splash screen but now i am in bootloader loop and dont knw how to get out of it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mdizzle9:
I think this is the thread you're referring to...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=752832

and so if i understand correctly, I need to do unrevoked forever, then go through the process described in the link above. Since I'm so new to this and feel like I've gotten lucky so far just with rooting and flashing custom roms/kernels... I think I'll probably have to pass on this start up screen for now. I guess the blinding white isn't that bad... : /
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gslogen:
i am new too but have no problem rooting the phone. i have done it on 2 so far and rerroted mine a few times, just thinking anout rerooting it is i can even know i cant get it to go passed boot. i did a nanddroid backup so my stuff is saved. just really wanted to change boot screen from white to black its too bright. i did tyr that thread and it what got me to this point and cant fix. maybe the orignal hboot i can update not sure i cant find it on google anywhere :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] :
Okay, so you applied the OP file from that thread? That only has the .76 hboot and put many people into the bootloader loop. If this is where you're at, then those nandroid backups you made will not work.

However, you can flash the other file from Karadorde and it seems it gets most people out of the loop. It will wipe your device to a factory 2.2 rom with the .76 hboot. I'm not sure about nandroid backups, but since I only had my phone for a week it wasn't that much of a bother to reinstall my apps.

Here is that thread (if the forums will finally let my paste links):

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thepiecesfit:
Unrevoked 3 root users

If you are experiencing writing 'splash1'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)'. You do not have to modify your boot loader as this can cause a reboot loop.

There is a much easier and safer way.

Tools needed:

1) [Winrar]

2) [PC36IMG.zip] From EVO 4G from Unrevoked Forever

3) NBIMG command-line splash<-->image converter tool [Windows Download] or [Linux Download]

Instructions:

1) Start with 24 bit bmp file. ex. Like the one from the beginning of this thread. Take splash1.bmp and copy it to the the same folder with NBIMG command-line splash and execute the following command: nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800

2) If successful, nbimg should have created an nb file called 'splash1.bmp.nb'.

3) Rename 'splash1.bmp.nb' to 'splash1.img'.

4) Open the PC36IMG.zip you downloaded above using winrar and drag 'splash1.img' into the contents of the zip file replacing the existing one.

5) Place PC36IMG.zip on the root of the SD Card.

6) Power down your evo. Hold volume down. Then power it up again while continuing to hold volume down. You should be prompted to update your splash screen, follow on screen instructions.

Thats it no need to change your boot loader and risk having your phone stuck in an endless boot cycle!

If you are lazy I have attached the PC36IMG.zip already compiled to give you the black white splash screen at the beginning of this thread. Just follow step 6.

Update: I am also attaching the stock PC36IMG_original.zip all you need to do is rename it to PC36IMG.zip and put on the root of your SD Card and you will have the white splash screen back for whatever reason

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thepiecesfit:
That was my package you downloaded. Did you flash the file from the bottom? Did you flash it from recovery or the bootloader?? I never tried flashing it from recovery. This package is designed to be flashed from the hboot bootloader. I use unrevoked and have s-off on 0.97 hboot.

Seems like its working for everyone else. Sounds like you did something wrong or perhaps your download got corrupted ?
