Ok.. Open zip and extract Android-info.txt somewhere you will remember..

Create your splash1.img using NBIMG

Zip both your splash1.img and the Android-info.txt into a zip package

put it on the root of your sdcard ( make sure the zip is named PB99IMG all capital letters)

power off

Boot to hboot

after green text ( checking sdcard ) it will say parsing ( that is if you did it right )

push volume up and then power button to reboot

and youre done.. enjoy :D

Dont forget to click thanks if it works

i m done with splash thing..thanx for the files ...but still cant able to change boot animation..its still showing US Cellular stuff..heheh
[Android Software Development] ziggy1001:
Why do you need this tool to change bootanimation just copy and paste the new bootanimation over the existing one
[Android Software Development] mercuryblue:
can u pls tell me the com line or the way to do it ???
[Android Software Development] ziggy1001:
Well as i'm not a secretary and hate typing i would use Root explorer or any file manager app with copy/paste or move function, QtADB, or Android Commander
[Android Software Development] MrAce87:
thanks man
[Android Software Development] Moe5508:
Lower versions of this tool than the current v1.8 always worked perfectly each time for me for any operation. Been bashing my head with this tool to do a CM7r2 HBOOT and no luck at all. I wonder...
[Android Software Development] ziggy1001:
1.8 flashing hboots fine for me, are you in the situation where you need to flash the Alpharev Bravo Downgrader before changing hboot?

If this is the first time you have flashed one of the new "r2" hboots it's not necessary but if you have previously flashed a "r2" variant then Bravo Downgrader is needed
[Android Software Development] Moe5508:
Yes indeed, I'd flashed a r2 HBOOT prior. Thanks for that insight Ziggy.

I found out the hard way not to name your bmp image splash1. It just conflicts and says no such file/directory.
[Android Software Development] stefan-smit20:
Hello all!

today wanted to change my splash screen, but it didn´t work :(

here is what i do :

i have a image ( 480 x 800 24 bit, bmp )

i start up android flasher.

tick flash splash and select the bmp file.

then it ask if it is the right image and i click yes. and then it fails :S

here is the log:

[Android Software Development] :
Greetings,

Thanks for such a good utilities.
[Android Software Development] moss20:
hi everyone !

I was wondering if this tool needs some drivers;

I explain more : I have installed alpharevx drivers for s-off operation and I just want to know wich drivers I have to install (IF I have to install some drivers) to use correctly android flasher.

someone can post a link please ?

edit : I'm running Win Vista 32bit
[Android Software Development] ZaLiTHkA:
If I'm not mistaken, all it requires to run the program is MS .net Framework, which you should have up to .net 3.0 if you're on Vista. To interface with the phone your PC will need the Android USB driver though.

Easiest way to get that is to download HTC Sync. That starts off by installing the USB drivers needed for an Android phone, but when it gets to the point of installing the actual HTC Sync application, cancel it (or just uninstall Sync afterwards). If you haven't already got it installed, when you run the setup you'll see what I mean.
[Android Software Development] abc001:
I always got HBOOT bypassed after flashing CM7r2. How can I flash another Hboot such as Stock?
[Android Software Development] buckshotjr:
I can confirm this works on a GSM HTC Desire.

1) Download the flasher, extract it to desktop

2) Make your picture (you can use MS Paint, if you have to) 480x800 24-bit, as a .BMP file. Name it anything you want.

3) Make a new folder on your desktop, name it anything. Put the flasher.exe, the 'data' folder that it comes with, AND the picture you made in step 2 inside this new folder.

4) Make sure your phone is on, and booted up. Connect it to PC, make sure usb-debugging is on, set it to charge - nothing else.

5) NOW run the flasher, select "splash" to flash, and click begin. It will prompt you to select your picture, and it will also prompt you to verify that's the correct picture. As soon as you click yes, give it 5-15 seconds, and your phone should reboot, showing you your nice, new splash screen.

Thanks a lot for this tool. Flashing is easy, but converting is (was, thanks to you :) ) a pain. Cheers!
[Android Software Development] GiZmo80:
Works great with splash1 and bootanimatin "flashing"...

Could u implement downanimation flashing too?
[Android Software Development] ziggy1001:
Copy and paste over the existing boot/downanimation with Root Explorer will change those

Follow Alpharev instructions

You need to flash Bravo Downgrader to change hboot

[Android Software Development] Pris0n:
Android Flasher does not work for me.

Do you have S-off already?

If not do it manuelly:

Go into the Recovery and then select install zip from sd card. Choose youre radio version and confirm isntallation.

That's it.

wait a few seconds for it to boot into flashboot then select that this is the correct image 'yes'

[Android Software Development] abuserkadayf:
can you add that the splash screens can be done by .img
[Android Software Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I think that might need the application to be updated first... Yeah sure it flashes it as an 'img' file (watch the debug window when you flash it), but the program converts the 'bmp' you select to an 'img' before doing so. If you try select an 'img' file that's already been converted it may cause problems...
[Android Software Development] jakmeister:
Hi,

Sorry for the Noob question, but if I want to change the Bootanimation using the Flasher, do I just flash the whole zip file, or do I extract some files from it (or create a .img) to flash it?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] ziggy1001:
You can simply copy and paste your preferred bootanimation.zip over the existing one, you just need to find the location and mount system r/w in root explorer
