[Android Software Development] affliction_emrah:
hi Daniel,

i downloaded 1.7.3 and tried with it again.

Unfortunately i have to say, IT WORKS! :)

Thanks man!

Cheers

Im trying to flash a difference splash but get the following error,

'adb.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

'adb.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

ADB is working, as its showing my device when i type adb devices.
[Android Software Development] jacketyjoe:
Got the same thing. Safe to unplug and pull the battery? I don't know enough about how the HBOOT flashing works so I'm probably safe but I want to make sure :p
[Android Software Development] danward:
Did you extract the data folder as well? Could you post the entire debug log?

Just use 1.7.3, sorry for that bug, forgot to remove that debug part :p

Thanks,

Daniel
[Android Software Development] jacketyjoe:
Still getting the same problem... here is the log if its important. Its just sitting there, no indication from my phone that anythings happened.

Strange.. I'll have a look at it tomorrow. The HBOOT flasher was the only one I didn't check. Probably a bug on my behalf, sorry!

Thanks,

Daniel
[Android Software Development] 325i.:
Thanks, that is sorte but now another issue.

The phone reboots into fastboot and stays there, i manually rebooted it but it has not changed the splash.

Ahh, I think I know what I've done wrong. I should have this fixed in 1.7.4. Sorry for this.

Thanks,

Daniel
[Android Software Development] 325i.:
Cheers mate, when will it be fixed? Or have you got 1.7.2 there i can download?
[Android Software Development] danward:
Should be fixed in around about 13hours from now. And no sorry, but the bug is in everything from 1.7.0+, so you'd have to track down an earlier one, or just wait :p. Your choice!

Sorry again,

Daniel

[Android Software Development] steveathome:
Have just tried this utility and it works well. Never thought I would tire of the Joker but have tried different splashes and works great. Thanks Dan for your work.

:)
[Android Software Development] daddyspud:
Dan my previous post it did work I found out that it was working as my hoot name changed thus is a really good program keep up the good work
[Android Software Development] sudeki300:
i have tried countless times to try and flash a new splash screen using this utility, first off i was just using it on the homescreen on the phone, as it only says you need usb debugging enabled (which it was) and the htc / abd drivers installed (which they were) but all i seem to get was a dead end once the rebooting message appeared in the log. so i tried from the recovery menu (if that is what it's called) by pressing down the power volumedown buttons while turning the phone on. first of all the hbootusb was having no luck, but it was until i turned to the fastboot usb that i finally had luck and gonethrough the whole process. the only problem now is i have a splash screen of three androids on skate boards, which i did not want as the splash scren pic i have is of an android pirate and the boot animation has aslo changed to which i did not select. i have tried no with four different images but still get the same result, four skateboarding android's. there has been no proper step by step tutorial written and posted, it's all been flacky. the tutorial that has been posted at the following link shows just how little infomation there is on how to correctly use this app. so now i am stuck with a splash screen boot animation at the moment i am unable to change, i understand that it was my decision to use the app but i do expect to have a decent tutorial to minimize problems and not just a few lines, i have seen alot of post where people are saying the app does not work as easy as the original poster claims, maybe it's time for a fuller more indepth tutorial.............................sudeki300
[Android Software Development] ziggy1001:
This is how i read and understood the same instructions

"recovery img, a hboot img or a radio img."

.img files are flashed from Fastboot not from recovery menu, or whilst the phone is running!!

"fastboot/hboot drivers must be installed"

It uses Fastboot

"Google for fastboot, adb and dlls."

It uses Fastboot
[Android Software Development] veitograf:
thanks man!

thanks danward, everything works fine now for me.

flashed cm7 hboot without a problem:)

Doesn't Reboot...

Hi,

All seems to be working ok until the flasher attempts to reboot the device, where nothing happens. I have S-Off, HBoot and FastBoot drivers, USB debugging enabled etc. When I finally give up and manually reboot the normal splash is still present. Any ideas anyone?
[Android Software Development] Petesky:
This is either buggy as hell , or instructions on first page have to be better,

I managed to change splash screen but had loads of trouble flashing bootanimation, had to restore my nand 3 times
[Android Software Development] Lord_Quack:
Hi there. Thanks for your hard work developing this tool.

I have a problem with trying to install a splash screen.

I got s-off, but didn't like the joker one, so i decided to change it.

I tried this program initially, it didnt work, so i tried to do it manually.

It got rid of the Joker Picture, but it wasn't replaced by the splash I wanted- instead, I got a blank white screen with the 3 android robots skating.

I have tried with 1.6.1 , 1.7.3 , 1.7.4 and now 1.7.5 to flash the splash, but it isn't working. It says it is done, in both manual and program methods, but it still shows the robots.

Here is the debug log, if it helps at all...

hi, quiet annoying since the logs don't shows any error... seems to be succeed.

well i'm using it, i've already flash splash 6 times...

i use to do manually... i create my pic 480wX800h 24 bit/16 million color

from the folder android flasher run the following command

go in console :> start/run => type cmd + enter

black screen change de directory where you havce android flasher

=>> C:\Users\user1\Downloads>

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

a pic will be created in the same foder (android flasher)

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

then from the same console run the following command

fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

hope this help
[Android Software Development] skedone:
this is very true, i only do it by hand now as this tool either never works, freezes or say complete and does nothing lol. I have never had it work once yet as advertised also i think this post should be removed as it seems that the dev never answer anything
[Android Software Development] daddyspud:
Skedone

I use this tool all the time n every time u recommend it to some 1 they have replied back sayin it worked fine so I can't c y we would have to remove this program n thread

Dan has made a very small easy program to use

Dans possible reason to not replying is that he has other commitments we have life's away from xda

Best Things Come To Those Who Wait The Longest
[Android Software Development] tanjinjack:
Hi,

I have used your tools to flash splash, HBOOT and even Recovery and all work fine.

Nonetheless, I have some suggestions.

Is it possible to have an option to where we want to boot into after the flashing process?

Certainly the phone won't boot well after we apply a new HBOOT and I just dislike pulling battery off every once and then I change a HBOOT.

Maybe an option to boot into bootloader/fastboot/recovery instead?
[Android Software Development] skedone:
well i dont know then its bloody wierd for me then i have tried it many many times and it always locks up or fails, as for replys i posted the fact i had errors when version 1.6 cam out still not had reply to that tell you what will try latest version in 2 mins if it works i will eat my words and donate a pint as a sorry hows that
[Android Software Development] skedone:
again same thing says its doing it sits at rebooting forever and never does anything if i put it in fast boot my self it works 4 times out of 10
[Android Software Development] ironman76:
It's really awesome and easy to use. Great
[Android Software Development] Seronez:
not working anymore??

i used the flasher quite a lot and it worked fine everytime, but now when i flash recovery it just restarts into fastboot and then nothing...i hear from the pc that the device deconnects but i don't know why? it worked before...plz help :)

HTC Desire with leedroid 2.4
[Android Software Development] TMSsecret:
works perfectly with my settings! see signature. Never had any problem
[Android Software Development] Lord_Quack:
This is exactly how i previously did it. I have followed your instructions exactly, and it still states 'OK', and then upon reboot its still the 3 skating robots...

Is it possible that for some reason I can't flash splash screens?

Im running alpharev for S-OFF, so could the custom HBOOT be conflicting with the commands somehow, or preventing access?

Its just a thought, I don't think that would be the problem, as other people can do it... So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help anyway... Maybe you have any other ideas?
[Android Software Development] Lord_Quack:
Aha! Finally found the reason it wasn't working.

I was using Fireworks 8 to do the image editing, but I decided to install GIMP just to try and use that. Created the image, put all the settings in, saved it and converted.

It seems that when I tried with Fireworks it wasn't saving the correct settings; I think the colours were not 24 bit. Thanks to eveyone who helped me, especially fragargon who had the patience to explain the procedure, not knowing that I already knew it. ;)

Thanks guys!
[Android Software Development] jerdna87:
hi,

i tried to flash a radio with a metod:

Or here is my version (useful when no computers are around):

Download the radio to your SD card.

Turn off the phone fully,

Hold down VolDown key and press the power button once. Keep on holding the VolDown.

When you see the white screen, let go.

Wait for a few seconds .. usually count to 7 would work.

Scroll down to 'recovery' using the VolDown VolUp keys. Select using power button.

You get to the black page, with a few lines of text. Now start using your optical pad.

Go to "Install zip from sdcard".

Navigate and select the zip.

Accept and flash.

Phone will restart a few of times, then you will come back and boot up again with your new radio.

and i downloaded the latest update of radio...

it flashed susscesfully but now when i boot into recovery it says radio version : 5.14, and not 5.17?
[Android Software Development] lukyjay:

@Akkeresu That's consistent with not having an engineering bootloader, you might want to check that.
[Android Software Development] Baardman:
Problem

Quite some time ago I flashed the Oxygen HBOOT with my old laptop (mac). Now I have a new laptop, and I want to revert to the stock HBOOT again.

I have totally forgotten how to flash it, so I thought I would use this tool. However, it tells me it can't find part of the path data/hboot.img. Also it says it can't find fastboot.exe.

I tried to put fastboot in the android flasher folder but this doesn't work. Can anybody help me?

Hi,

i am trying to flash hboot on win7...i got some error while doing so and the software got stuck at rebooting..nothing happened on the ph..

i havent switched off my ph after that..i am afraid that my ph can get bricked...

please help as i want to flash bravo_alphaspl.img to resize the partitions..
[Android Software Development] ziggy1001:
The first jpg says fastboot.exe not found is the folder called data from the Android Flasher zip you downloaded in the same location as Android Flasher.exe?

Cos if it ain't it wont work
[Android Software Development] pulkitjeel:
i have flasher and fastboot.exe both on the desktop..

what should i do?? place them together in a folder and then try??

is it safe to unplug my ph and reboot?? or are there any chances of it getting bricked?
[Android Software Development] ziggy1001:
Not really sure but the hboot looks like it was flashed from the log but got stuck rebooting, try going into recovery and if you have a nandroid that will fit that hboot restore that or just flash the appropriate rom
[Android Software Development] lukyjay:
One exists, its called fastboot and adb
[Android Software Development] danward:
Go into the data folder and delete splash1.img and splash1.bmp, should work fine after that ;).
[Android Software Development] 3f1f37:
Don’t mean to sound like a noob but can anybody just clarify something for me.

OK so I have been reading a lot about the huge speed benefits the latest rage with GB Sense ROMS, now as I have absolutely no adb skills or knowledge of fastboot and how to execute commands, I have turned by attention HERE are it would seem that I can skip all that and just use this tool to flash the required HBOOT. So can anyone advise if I need the latest Android SDK to make this work as I know how to get my phone S-OFF. So can I use the flasher to flash the CM7 HBOOT or am I missing something.
[Android Software Development] Yorzua:
In few minutes :

1) Nandroid backup in recovery.

2) Verify the MD5SUM of the file you downloaded against the one in the table.

3) Flash HBOOT with your phone in fastboot mode (Back+POWER) ->

'fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img'

(change into the correct filename for the HBOOT you downloaded)

4) Boot recovery, wipe everything and restore.

Done!

Hope it helps!
[Android Software Development] soeren1705:
Have used Android flasher a couple of times flashing Hboot and found it to **** up my sdcard.

When flashing cm7 Hboot I was never able to get any of the new Gingerbread Sense 2.1 roms running without freezing on my HTC Desire. A stripped down rom not using any ext partition works just fine. This sdcard is a Sandisk 8gb class 4.

Got myself a new sdcard (Kingston class 10 8gb) because I thought this could be the problem. Set it up with Gparted first a fat32 partition followed by a 1gb ext4. After this CWM 3x recovery can mount the sdcard just fine but after flashing Hboot with Android flasher it cannot mount anymore.

I have to format and repartition it with Gparted for it to be mounted again in recovery. It will mount just fine once Android is started.

So to me it looks like Android flasher does something bad to the sdcard during flashing Hboot.

Anybody else facing similar problem ?
