HELP!?

PLEASE HELP, i ran the bootanimation changer whilst my device was on, i dont even know what s-off is, it just shutsdown after boot, i dont know what to do it want boot?
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
start your device by pressing volumne down (hold it down) and then press power buttom.

go to clear storage( this will delete all user datas and will reset it.
[Android Software Development] Sevennl:
Would be nice to tell folks how , as I have the same trouble.
[Android Software Development] bhutanigaurav:
1. connected device in usb debugging mode.

2. downloaded splash image

3. ran program

4. done with a new splash screen

works perfectly! thanks so much!
[Android Software Development] Ignore.z:
thanks! it's perfect!

Hi, I can't get the tool to work.

I receive many .Net exceptions, although I copied the files in a folder in C:\ .

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'Data\splash1.bmp'.
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileSystem.FileCopy(String Source, String Destination)
...

By pressing Go, it fails. I get this even if splash1.bmp is put in Data and in the main directory where Android Flasher.exe is put.

If I use the Debug menu, I goes to "Done!" and says it's waiting for device. My Desire goes to Fastboot and nothing happens.

My Desire is rooted, uses ClockWorkMod recovery and has S-OFF.

While it's a great start, as it works for many people, I guess it needs more polish, especially with dealing with the files it needs, the directories (with spaces in them?), and the UI.µ

Edit

: it worked by doing it manually as described here.
[Android Software Development] MisterWolfe:
For the life of me I can't get this to work.

I have S-OFF, rooted with unrevoked. I'm trying to get rid of the joker image from s-off'ing.

I installed the HTC abd drivers on my computer. (Win 7, 32bit)

I've followed the instructions as best I can, but it seems it is not recognizing my device. If I run debug it hangs on 'waiting for device'.

Can someone tell me what I am missing?

EDIT:

After downloading the android sdk pack for windows, I was able to run the process manually. (still doesn't work with the flash utility program, sadly)

"fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img"
[Android Software Development] chemita:
ten minutes like that ..... is it normal?
[Android Software Development] Kashban:
Works like a charm (tested splash image so far). Even though I do not boot my phone that often, I like to have my own beloved splash image... you'll see what I mean if you search for my posting in the "show your splash screens" thread.

Hats off to the devs!
[Android Software Development] Jamin_1:
Wow great work =)

I used without any problems the splashscreen changer.

When I flash with this program my recovery after s-off my device is it the same like flashing the recovery with a pc and fastboot? :eek:
[Android Software Development] polonyk:
i cannot change the boot animation

i described the problems i'm having, here: xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8721553&postcount=366 (sorry for the formatting, i am not allowd to post links yet)

i used your program to change the splash screen, and it worked, however i still cannot change the boot animation, neither with your program, nor sdk or recovery. even if it says done, when the phone reboots the original boot animation is remaining

do you have any thoughts why is this happening?

p.s. when trying to change the splash screen i got the error. i found out that it works, for me at least, if you to put the *.bmp file in the same folder with Android Flasher.exe. hope i've been helpful for noobs like me who get the error.

sorry if the solution has already been discussed, i didn't read the whole thread.

edit:

i found the solution for my problem here: xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7284034&postcount=236
[Android Software Development] poipen:
love this!
[Android Software Development] Minux31:
Thx

Great tool, thank you very much :D
[Android Software Development] indianajose:
I can't find download link through xda app, must browse this thread through pc's web browser?
[Android Software Development] zHk3R:
You won't be able to run it on your phone anyway.

[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
after flashing amonra recovery via this app i couldn't start the recovery anymore it turned into a blackscreen...
[Android Software Development] harvestdroid:
Can i use this flasher to change splash screen and bootanimation on htc evo?

Just curious... :D
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
yep you can.
[Android Software Development] harvestdroid:
It can? Wow...thanks for the quick answer, can't wait to tell my friends..this will make things far easier for them...

Thanks again..! :D
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
nononono you can't xD

you can flash new bootanimations I think but for the splash screen you need s-off
[Android Software Development] cybrid3:
Can someone help me. I run the program and it says restarting the phone. When the phone restarts its on the white screen with the recovery/reboot options. Then when I restart the joker splash is still there. Where am I going wrong?
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
did you save the file as splash1? is it a bmp ? and whats the resolution of it? 480x800 ? the colour depth 24bit?
[Android Software Development] cybrid3:
Yes all that is correct. Used some off here too but no go. Tried also flashing recovery too, again back to the white screen
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
did you s-off?
[Android Software Development] K900:
He sure is, if he gets the AlphaRev Joker splash

Sent from my HDfied HTC Desire
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
ups didnt read well or didn't remember what ever...

my mistake I am sorry
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
I dunno why but this tool doesnt change my boot animation....

I put it in a zip file called bootanimation.zip

am I right?
[Android Software Development] ElAguila:
Just to make sure I am understanding this. I select the image I want and open it with an editor and resize it to 480 horizontal by 800 vertical and save as a 24bit bmp file. I then copy the file to the \Android Flasher\Data folder. Do I need to rename the bmp file to evosplash1.rgb565 or will this app do that for me?
[Android Software Development] afrcom15:
The only way I could get it to work was through 'android commander':)
[Android Software Development] cybrid3:
Yes I am S-off
[Android Software Development] sudeki300:
how long should the flashing a new splash screen take. i have the htc usb drivers installed, net framework V.4 and i have usb debugging option ticked. the phone is just on the home screen and when i select the splash screen to flash in the text box it gets to the flashing part and then just stays there for ever. i have to close the program in task manager. i'm using windows 7 ultimate 32bit. thanks..........................sudeki300

this is the problem i'm having when the phone is in hboot i can see that the usb drivers are installed, but when the phone is on the home screen and usb debugging selected the phone is not being found if i chose the debug option in the splash program. so for some reason the device is not being found. i'm lost.......................sudeki300
[Android Software Development] robbiekhan:
Awesome stuff :)
[Android Software Development] cybrid3:
Got it working via debug :)
[Android Software Development] littlekevin:
Hi, i succeeded in changing the boot animation but for the splash screen...it was a totally splash :D

what do you mean by "s-off", because i verified everything about the picture and the USB debugging but nothing happened.

Did i something wrong ?

i'm using the miui rom 0.10.29
[Android Software Development] littlekevin:
ok just forgive my request, i found an answer:rolleyes:
[Android Software Development] nawoa:
Works great! Here's my contribution!
[Android Software Development] jig55aw:
"home made" splashes

Here are 3 splash images i made playing arround with photoshop...enjoy
[Android Software Development] igorzaniolo:
Hy, also for me i couldn't make the splash1.img why the system give me the error?
[Android Software Development] UpSpin:
it also doesn't work on my computer, running Windows 7 x64.

There are two failures:

1. The Android Flasher.exe creates a wrong bmp file, which is too small compared with a manually created 24bit bmp file.

2. manually running nbimg.exe in the command line doesn't run either. However, instead of entering

nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800

you have to enter

.\nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800

If you use the bmp file created by Android Flasher.exe nbimg will crash. So just open the bmp file with paint and save it as an 24bit file, run nbimg and it works.

So maybe this helps the author of Android Flasher.exe to fix the issues, in the meantime, you have to flash it manually with the hints I gave above.

After getting "malformed" with the standard method, this worked a charm Thank you.

My name is Dan, so now I have a nice "DANDROID" splash :)

[Android Software Development] leadfoot9281:
i tried changing boot animation and it said it was done but didnt change anything. also trying to do a splash screen and it changes image name says sends commands for adb reboot and flashing. never reboots and i have to cntrl+alt+del to make program stop. its like it gets stuck. Im using a cdma desire with CM6.1 RC1 if that makes any difference. any ideas?
[Android Software Development] jig55aw:
did you do all that restarted into bootloader?
[Android Software Development] leadfoot9281:
Yes I tried hboot fastboot recovery and booted normally.
[Android Software Development] :
I have the same problem :(

I have Desire GSM and Oxygen ROM.
[Android Software Development] :
With this method, all is working :)

Seems that the problem is on Windows 7 x64

[Android Software Development] braini86:

"nbimg -F splash1.bmp"

Then rename splash1.bmp.nb to splash1.img.

Then flash using "fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img.

thanks man, this tool finally works for my desire to flash newer version of psfreedom
[Android Software Development] beady_uk:
Just a suggestion.

Would it be possible to alter this excellent bit of software to including flashing radio files?

Apparently it is ment to be safer to flash via fastboot than recovery.

Thanks

Another suggestion:"Change bootsound" path is:/system/customize/Resource/android_audio.mp3 R/W enabled on system.Have changed my with rootexplorer.

PD: Change bootanimation should work correct path is /system/customize/Resource/bootanimation.zip R/W enabled on system

[Android Software Development] scorpio09:

[Android Software Development] beady_uk:
I have used the search function but had no luck...

Can anyone tell me if this works with the ZTE Blade?

I know this is a desire thread but thought id ask anyway.

Thanks
[Android Software Development] Felipe.rar:
Nice!

Tanks.
[Android Software Development] CrazyMcCool:
So this only changes the first turning on bootscreen right?

There is no way to change the live bootscreen after the first HTC screen right?
[Android Software Development] snark_be:
Yes, it is possible. And this tool can do it. The "live bootscreen" is called the bootanimation.
[Android Software Development] CrazyMcCool:
So the first boot screen is just named...boot screen? lol

and thanks for the answer ^__^ Cant wait to try this out.

EDIT so i can change them both to be the same one? or 2 different ones?
[Android Software Development] snark_be:
The 1st boot screen is called the splash or "splash image".

It must be 2 different ones, the format is not the same for the splash screen and the boot animation.
[Android Software Development] CrazyMcCool:
okay looked in the boot pic thread and i found this awesome live one of the CIA, but i cant get it to work..

Also how do i change both boot screens in this program? there is one called splash flasher and others are recovery Hboot radio..
[Android Software Development] AlSopranos:
Same here!! Please help
[Android Software Development] AlSopranos:
I have the drivers Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone in Device Manager. So why do i get the error? Using win7 64

YES!! Its working now!.."If you use the bmp file created by Android Flasher.exe nbimg will crash. So just open the bmp file with paint and save it as an 24bit file, run nbimg and it works".
[Android Software Development] GlumeX:
I have a problem.

I get stuck at "Pushing and flashing SPLASH1"

My phone reboots into fastboot, but nothing happens... what to do? :)

EDIT: Got it to work on 32bit windows 7, couldn't get it to work on my 64bit windows 7 :/
[Android Software Development] spncrmoo:
Why did you get rid of the bootanimation changer? I really wanted that just now! :(
[Android Software Development] jjones1983:
Doesn't work for me on CDMA Desire. Ran it several times.

Guess I should be more specific, it runs like everything worked just fine, no errors or anything, but then it doesn't change the splash.
[Android Software Development] bmxrideher:
This worked great for my vision. Thanks so much!
[Android Software Development] bmxrideher:
I was getting that error at first, too. But, I realized that I wasn't using a .bmp or one time, I forgot to resize the image to 480x800
[Android Software Development] yoshaw:
I'm getting this error :confused:

HELP. Layman terms would be helpful.

Edit: Found solution. I was not properly entered into FASTBOOT USB MODE. Instead was trying to push commands while in HBOOT USB MODE. Error rectified, now I have changed boot image :) yay!
[Android Software Development] outlokator:
Hi, I donwloaded the v 1.5.5

Each time I am trying to run the Android Flasher I got the message

Unhandled Exception has occured in your application..

If you continue the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue..

Could not find a part of the "Data\splash1.bmp"

I am running on my laptop XP SP3

I extracted the rar on my laptop under a file D:\Android Flasher_1.5.5

and running the android flasher...

What is the wrong thing with my extraction??

The size downloaded seems to be fine 360 Kb

When extracted I have

a file called data containing adb.exe, fastboot.exe nbimg.exe adbWinApi.dll

debug.bat

Thanks for your support and help

and the android flasher.exe
[Android Software Development] outlokator:
hi

no idea? no help about this issue?
[Android Software Development] tony_:
@outlokator

...........When extracted I have

a file called data containing adb.exe, fastboot.exe nbimg.exe adbWinApi.dll

debug.bat......................

you must have 2 files....

1) data

2)Andriod flasher. exe ok???????

and you run the .....exe file...........
[Android Software Development] Nitrius:
Thanks for the utility, but as someone else said, why was bootanimation changer removed?
[Android Software Development] outlokator:
Yes true

this is what I have and run the android flasher.exe

and after I click on the splasher

and I watched to have a picture in 480 x 800 and 24 bits saved in bmp

I joined an image of the error
[Android Software Development] mi3x:

Yes, I'm in fastboot usb, debug on.
[Android Software Development] ring_GT:
did anybody here tried using android flasher to flash n1 partition table?

does it work?
[Android Software Development] katsucpe:
you should delete 'C:\android-sdk\tools\Data\splash1.img' first. it's can't create new splash to flash
[Android Software Development] minop:
The same error too =/

I have a HTC Desire SLCD (PVT4) S-OFF
[Android Software Development] a.alhilaly:
i got the same error my phone is:

(htc desire, Rooted, S-OFF, build number (2.29.405.5) using leedroid 2.3c ROM) :D

i was in fastboot usb and i use 24bit image with the resolution of 480x800 :cool:

why i got this ERROR :(

Edit:

Now its work.:D:D I was not in FASTBOOT USB MODE but in HBOOT USB MODE that's why get the error
[Android Software Development] Sherwood W:

Does anyone have the splash image from the first post in the flasher tool?
[Android Software Development] joojooman:
Thumb up!

This is just brilliant. I could change my boot image. Very easy and fast. Love it. :)

cant do it. just sits there after pressing go. said ADB reboot command sent but my desire is still booted to android.

USB debugging enabled. S-OFF.

any help?
[Android Software Development] gorrila:
Will the sourcecode be open source?

I am writing a backuptool and it would be great to include some ADB commands!
[Android Software Development] kacper1275:
a fantastic tool, everything worked like a charm on my desire.. cheers :)
[Android Software Development] Shanzh20:
possible solution

for anyone with errors and no device.. just do the following

uninstall hboot drivers

restart pc

boot up phone to bootloader > plug in USB

pc will then find the drivers and htc bootloaders drivers wil be installed

load the utility (in admin mode) > splash screen > and file debug *leave window running for activity progress

dont do anything just give it a minute and blam! it should automatically start flashing and reboot your phone

if still not working copy your image to the android flasher folder, outside the data folder - so next to the application !
[Android Software Development] ironman76:
Wow, it´s great:) Fantastic

[Android Software Development] xavierjohn22:
Thank you will download. Great tool.
[Android Software Development] Rastaman-FB:
thanks for this

alpharevf now supports flashing misc, might be worth adding this as its the quicker way to fix usb brick

pull misc from device and save it, flash via fastboot to recover from misc error
[Android Software Development] woutervr:
The Hboot, Recovery and Radio flasher does nothing. Am I doing something wrong?
[Android Software Development] Rastaman-FB:
do you have s-off?
[Android Software Development] woutervr:
Yes. I can flash splash.

But when I check Hboot and hit begin, nothing happens.
[Android Software Development] robbertvw:
Same here with recovery
[Android Software Development] danward:
Argh. Sorry guys. There was an int set to 0 instead of 1, which stopped all of the items after splash from working.

1.6.1

Fixed recovery/hboot/radio bug.

Dan
[Android Software Development] vrakw:
Easy to use tool.

Successfully flashed splash image with ease.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
after a long time I decided to change my splash image once again... I saved it as splash1.bmp (I flash myself via fastboot) but it looks ugly and its screwed I saved it as 24bit resolution 480x800

is it because I am using android 2.3?
[Android Software Development] technologylover:
Question: How Can I see the window where I can change the location that boot animation will be stored at my Desire? :/
[Android Software Development] b3ndik:
I think it was updated in 2011 not 2010 :) Speaking of the topic btw
[Android Software Development] danward:
Ahh. Use the file menu at the top. Then its the first one. And whoops. Ill fix the topic name now lol Thanks.
[Android Software Development] xavierjohn22:
an you do like flash update.zip or any zip? or flash Fonts? OR it is not worth it?
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
could u answer my question about gingerbread and splashscreen? 1 page back.
[Android Software Development] danward:
Did you convert your image with the nbimg tool?

Dan
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
I converted it myself to a bmp with photoshop 24bit depth resolution 480x800

since when it has to be an image?

ah okay so for further either use this nb tool or simply urs...

going for the second one thanks
[Android Software Development] Nuntius:
I'm stick there too. No idea?
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-your-recovery".img
[Android Software Development] Nuntius:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-bravo.img"

What do I do with that?
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
open cmd and write that:P

you sure will have to navigate into ur tool folder from sdks
[Android Software Development] Nuntius:
Thanks, the cmd window is stuck to "sending recovery" (the phone is on fastboot usb)

EDIT I can't go up or down. Is it safe to unplug?
[Android Software Development] Flashmaniac:
install fastboot drivers from new via driver manager while in fastboot and plugged in unistall and windows will install it from new. and yes you can
[Android Software Development] Nuntius:
Thank you!

It's OK I finally managed installing the new recovery by doing:

1 Plugging the Desire (debugging "on" and SD card transfer "on").

2 Then Executing Android flasher.

That's all!
