splash acer liquid

:confused:Sorry, but it can use this utility to the splash of a liquid acer?
[Android Software Development] lsmgeb89:
The utility will run with the error in the Windows 7 x64. Please update it. thx~~
[Android Software Development] gutsbn:
Works for me, time after time after time...

What error? Are you running as admin? Have you right clicked, run as admin? You have HBBOT drivers installed?

And bollocks, the "thanks" was a mistake
[Android Software Development] Superchasin:
I got a problem now... I flashed HBoot N1Table, now I can't boot anymore. Stuck at splash screen. What can I do?
[Android Software Development] mugey:
Finally got my Fastboot working. Splash and boot animation change was successful. Will try to the HBOOT feature soon. Thanks!
[Android Software Development] lsmgeb89:
Sorry, I used the JPG image. So utility has no problem in the Win 7 x64.
[Android Software Development] Vuska:
You have to convert your jpg file to BMP file with 24 bit colors depth.

Work for me ... cheers :D
[Android Software Development] Standfest:
Have tried this utility today, worked successfully several times (changed splash), then stopped to flash.

I'm starting app, choosing "splash", selecting correct bmp file, clicking "yes"

then It says

"Picture copied

nbimg complete"

and then throwing Micorosoft .NET Framework error message box.

I'm using Win7 x64.
[Android Software Development] danward:
With text at the top? Do you have S-OFF?
[Android Software Development] pa.pn2:
yeah you HAVE to resize it before to 480x800

but my pic looks ugly then.stretched like hell^^hehe
[Android Software Development] Jgruar:
Sorry my bad, didn't notice first that 480x800 is a must. Works now.
[Android Software Development] mr_delphi:
Yes, I have S-OFF
[Android Software Development] danward:
Is the original image 480x800? Run the bat again after you re-save the image and tells what happens.
[Android Software Development] mr_delphi:
Tested with 480x800

if it's 32 bit bmp, then the result is black and white four layer image (basically a mess)

if it's 16 bit bmp 480x800, then works.

Thanks for the great work!
[Android Software Development] danward:
Thanks! I have updated the main page with this information. This will help some of the other users. Hopefully I'll have an interface soon :D.
[Android Software Development] mr_delphi:
oops, I used 24 bit instead of 16bit, didn't try 16bit.
[Android Software Development] danward:
Not to worry. Fixed :P
[Android Software Development] pa.pn2:
maybe we should start an new thread with logos....
[Android Software Development] danward:
Yeah, that'd be cool. I'm going to start working on an interface tonight. Shouldn't be too bad. Lol, wish me luck.
[Android Software Development] pa.pn2:
I do dude^^
[Android Software Development] xecuter:
easy to use.. tried it and successfully changed my bootscreen. thanks alot :D

EDIT: Its working fine now

[Android Software Development] zaphyr:
Unfortunately I couldn't get this tool, v 1.6.1, to work.

I did use a 480x800 24bit BMP, but it got stuck after it rebooted to fastboot. I'm on a Win 7 Pro 64bit.

I did it the old way instead ;)

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
fastboot reboot

Thx anyway!

[Android Software Development] mattman83:
Awesome tool, thanks :)

Quick question... was pushing a new splash but forgot to plug in phone, whoops :P However flasher kept working and "pushed" the commands anyway from what I could see. It's like it didn't even check if fastboot was running on the phone before it started sending commands.

Is this likely to cause any risk when pushing more sensitive stuff like radio or hboot? Or if I put phone in fastboot before I start the tool will it still work happily? Just hate the thought of it trying to push stuff and the phone is slow getting into fastboot or something.
[Android Software Development] vicdup:
Noob question here guys :

I am usinge leedroid Rom and find the boot animation very annoying, will this allow me to change the boot animation ? The sound ?

I think there is to type of boot animation can someone explain this to me ? I am a kind of lost here...

Thanks !
[Android Software Development] mattman83:
Theme kitchen is probably easier for changing boot animation.

http://uot.dakra.lt/

On the first page hit theme only, skip the icon pages and choose your boot animation, after a couple of minutes it'll spit out a .zip that you can flash via recovery (after you run a nandroid backup of course).

When you say 2 types of boot animation.... you're kind of right.

1- when you first turn on the phone you'll get a static image, usually it's carrier branding or something. This is referred to as the "splash image" and you need to be S-OFF to change it. If you don't know what S-OFF is it's best just to get used to it for a while and do some reading in the meantime :)

2- the "boot animation" this is the 2nd thing you'll see when you boot, at the moment you'll have the leedroid BIOS animation... this is easier to change. It can be done via flasher if you have the raw animation etc, but it's easier done through kitchen as noted above.

Problems

Hi there,

Trying this utility but whatever I try, it only returns the error message that there has been some exeptional error (etc...blablabla....) and that it can't find a part of the path to directory Data\splash1.bmp....

Tried placing my files in the Data\ path where the Flasher Utility is in, tried placing the whole thing on my desktop... nothing seems to work :-(

Have done it manually now.

Hope someone can help me out here, ADB and all are running fine as I can flash manually and QtADB etc. works.

[Android Software Development] mrjonnyrock:
did anyone post the original, default HTC splash screen?
[Android Software Development] angusc:
Hi DanWard,

I spent a whole evening trying to get Android Flasher to work, but always the same error as previous few posts, I tried both versions 1.6.1 and 1.5.5. so I played around a bit and found that for some reason Android Flasher is creating the 'splash1.bmp.nb' file with 0KB file size. Unfortunately i could not replace this file and still get Android Flasher to work again as the program had already terminated.

So i looked a little further and found a manual method to generate the 'splash1.bmp.nb' file that i could then rename to 'splash1.img' However when copying this .img file to the AndroidSDK Tools folder I still could not push it to the phone (HTC Desire). so i then copied the 'splash1.img' file to your programs 'DATA' folder, put my phone in to Bootloader mode and then using CMD window and CD to that folder and ran the following command to push it successfully to my phone:

fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

--------------------------------------------------------

TO generate the 'splash1.bmp.nb' file download "nbimg-1.1win32" from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=795132

Follow this guide which is from that thread but with a little extra steps to help a NoOb like me:

1.Download and extract "nbimg-1.1win32".

2.In your image creation/manipulation program, create a new image. Set the image size to 480x800. (If you already have an image in mind, open that and resize it)

3.Create/modify/customize the image however you like.

4.Save the image as "splash1.bmp" file. Ensure that you are saving the file as a 24bit RGB color bitmap. To make things easy, save the image in the same folder (nbimg-1.1win32) where you extracted the nbimg tool.

5.Open a command or terminal window and CD to your nbimg folder.

6.Type in the following command: "nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800"

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

8.Rename 'splash1.bmp.nb' to 'splash1.img'.

8a. Copy the 'splash1.img' file to the "Data" folder which has the 'ADB' files in it then CD to this folder.

9.Boot your Desire into Bootloader (Hold the power off button, then select "Reboot" and then "Bootloader")

9a. Plug in your USB to the phone.

11.Type in the following command: "fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img"

12.The output should be something like this:

D:\Android\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

sending 'splash1' (750 KB)... OKAY [ 0.125s]

writing 'splash1'... OKAY [ 0.218s]

finished. total time: 0.343s13. Reboot your Desire and enjoy your new splash screen.

13. Reboot your Desire and enjoy your new splash screen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope that helps some of you to avoid the long journey just to get rid of the Joke.....last laugh was definately on me!!

[Android Software Development] leith51:
For those having problems flashing radio check my signature for the link to my thread how to flash radio.img it can also be used to flash splash.img using command fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

It also explains that remote access not allowed means you have not got eng s-off

The first post includes links to get all you need to do radio/splash flash and includes a zip with the folder for windows users

My other phone is an iPhone it makes a great coaster but not to good as a hammer
[Android Software Development] leith51:
@danward to flash radio you must have eng s-off and radio s-off as a safety net

You could do with putting in your op mate

hi, i am on windows 7, 32 bit. i think i may have installed the drivers wrong. i never installed them before this. i downloaded the latest version on the htc site, it installed htc sync, with the driver. i uninstalled htc sync, and the driver, and then put my phone in fast boot and installed the hboot drivers i found on the unrevoked site. i started up the android flasher exe, and gave it my new splash bmp, it rebooted my phone, and it sends it to fastboot (this is the white menu right..?) and says that it is pushing and flashing SPLASH1, but nothing else happens, i waited a few minutes and gave up.. :( even though i installed the driver from htc sync, it still came up as 'My HTC' on my computer when my phone was connected with the os loaded up, and it came up as 'Android Bootloader Interface' or something when in fastboot... so I don't know what is wrong :( thank you very much!

I have been searching for a "Matrix" boot animation. The only one I've found has the android bot on it but I prefer not have that. So if anyone has seen it could you let me know? Thanks

Oh and side note, if you are having problems make sure you aren't just renaming you image file to .bmp and that you actually convert it (windows paint works fine, no need to get fancy) by using "save as" and close the editing program before using Android flasher....

Nice program by the way, I like freedom! :D

2. Boot screen: this is where the HTC logo appear? And this is the one where the file needs to be BMP at 480x800?
