Download issues

Hi, the download link is not working, when I click on the big DOWNLOAD button it takes me to a web page asking to select the model of the phone, once I select desire, it show page error. Could you please check.
[Android Software Development] Madaz2:
download worked for me

you get taken to a redirector site with a bee on it top right a counter counts down, then there is a big SKIP ADD thing click that and download comes
[Android Software Development] kaleemmks:
not working for me i have htc amze

and i am currently using cm 11 as a daily driver

it is not showing the option of splash screen for me

can anyone tell me why?
[Android Software Development] vasanthrg:
No, the download link doesn't work. If I click on the big "DOWNLOAD" button, it takes me to a AF Down loader page asking to select the handset model, I selected Desire and I got redirected to http://*******/4wHdc this link, which shows, unable to connect.
[Android Software Development] Madaz2:
then maybe your isp has blocked the content because i tried as soon as you posted and worked fine for me (even worked fine just a second a ago)

as i said to you, you need to click Skip Ad
[Android Software Development] vasanthrg:
You could be right, maybe the ISP has blocked the page, for me the page was not getting displayed at all. This is what I get when trying from Firefox.

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at *******.

I tried from IE and it doesn't open in IE as well. Maybe it is related to the short URL also, not too sure.

Thanks for your time.

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

Hi, I managed to download it, I googled for the link to the page that was not loading and it took me to another site from where I could download Android Flasher. Thanks for your time.... :)

hey, doesn't work for me either...

when I choose the .bmp file, it crashes with "Файл не найден" (means "File not found" in Russian)

running win7 x32, log from error window here...

tried to do it manually with nbimg.exe, but it says "Отказано в доступе" ("Access denied"), and I cannot remove, replace or whatever...like I have no rights to do anything with this file :eek:

Where can i download version splashflasher 1.2 ?
[Android Software Development] Khalen:
Thanks for this tool man. Made my day :D
[Android Software Development] xtcislove:
Cant start it it say something about NET Framework is missing but this cant be i use net Framework every Day ! And i have the newest Version!
[Android Software Development] idealforyou:
Version 1.2.2 not work. The nbimg.exe is crashes and say, the self process is working and use the nbimg.exe at time. This is so by WinXP or Win7 64.

I do not understand why some people work for version 1.2.2.
[Android Software Development] danward:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...51-5ff4-4491-b0e5-b386f32c0992&displaylang=en

That'll help.

Guys, it's time for 1.3. Fixed most bugs. You can select any bmp file and it will rename it for you. Cleaned up the folder.
[Android Software Development] pa.pn2:
great

many many thx dude

awesome work
[Android Software Development] @ngel:
It hanged halfway (stayed there for ten+ minutes):

I had to kill the process and flash the default splash using fastboot.
[Android Software Development] danward:
Fixed in 1.3.2. Uploaded.

1.3.2

Multiple flashes without closing the application.

With a little touch of my own :P it tells you if you're flashing again.

Fixed hanging on ADB/fastboot.
[Android Software Development] idealforyou:
Version 1.12, 1.3 and version 1.32 makes problems with nbimg.exe.

The PC stopped the process nbimg.exe, then the desire startet in fastboot an boot new with the old S-Off Joker screen.

I am so very frustrated with this S-Off Screen and i can not change this and both PC are have with WinXP or Win7 Problems with this nbimg.exe

bul...
[Android Software Development] cjm1979:
1.2.2 flashed my image and made a mess of it so ive now got just a blur on the scree and then it says its successful when i reattempt any image but it changes nothing. The new 1.3.2 says unhandled exception all the time and wont run.
[Android Software Development] ephumuris:
Just flash manually. Rather than using a buggy gui.
[Android Software Development] danward:
Is your image 24bit depth? Do you mind posting the unhandled exception?
[Android Software Development] cjm1979:
Yep i tried that but im **** at command prompt. I followed the other guide and got as far as making the .bmp.nb but when i tried to send it to the phone it said something about not been able to load.
[Android Software Development] ephumuris:
You rename the bmp.nb to a .img. Did you do that?

Then put phone in fasboot (not hboot!).

Then "fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img".

Is that how you did it?
[Android Software Development] idealforyou:
Hey, Version 1.32 is now working and change the Splash Screen.:D

I have must use a splash1.bmp picture. Is this not working with jpg Pictures and must i the picture before rename in splash1.bmp?
[Android Software Development] danward:
You must use a bmp, but you dont have to have it called splash1.bmp it could be called anything you like. eg pizza.bmp
[Android Software Development] cjm1979:
Yes thats how i did it.

Ive managed to get it to do it at the 3rd attempt. The only thing i di different was to power down rather than reboot at the end. I could really do with learning more with cmd and adb too now im sticking with Android.

Thanks for your help.
[Android Software Development] Toisan:
How should the Phone be booted?

Fastboot, Normal + Usb Deb.?

a bit more informations in ur instruction pls!!

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] danward:
Currently, I've compiled my own version of nbimg.exe. I'll upload it now.

Normal if using the program.

EDIT: 1.3.3 is live!
[Android Software Development] Relikk:
Works great. Thanks, danward!
[Android Software Development] danward:
1.3.5! All current bugs fixed. Please find more so they can be fixed. New progress bar. Any new features people want, please post here. Night all!

[Android Software Development] JonesWTF:
Why do I always end up with an image of 3 skateboarding androids no matter what image I try to flash?
[Android Software Development] focallength:
The real crux is the bit depth. I found that whatever I was trying (800x480, 480x800, jpg, png, bmp) that a 24bit bmp file was the one that worked flawlessly. I now have a classy, small 007 logo with "Mr Bond's HTC Desire" as my splash. Happy to share it with people, but it is a little surname specific!
[Android Software Development] killkennys:
bug in 1.3.5

unable to flash the image when you run the exe from another letter drive than the image
[Android Software Development] System of a pWne!^:
Worked on second flash. At the first try, Windows initialized the necessary HBoot drivers (the one of UnRevoked) and it failed. Second flash: Worked.
[Android Software Development] JonesWTF:
Yeah, I've saved my bitmaps as 24bit every time. Tried it with a few different images but get the same result each time. Strange huh?
[Android Software Development] focallength:
Hmmm... what to put for the title?

Have you tried flashing images from other people - that are known to work? Would you like to send me an image, I'll make sure it works for me and send it back?

Your choice.
[Android Software Development] JonesWTF:
Just seen my problem. GIMP kept saving everything at half the size for no reason at all. Got it sorted and flashed :D

Thanks for your help man.

I used v.1.2.2 and prompt on my PC is still on "< waiting for device > rebooting...

What should I do now? It's been on this windows prompt for a few minutes now. Can I reboot the phone and try again with v.1.3.5?

edit: s-off went fine and seems like it's stuck on the fastboot usb screen (can't move up or down with volume buttons), heeeelp please!

edit2: nevermind, I closed all the windows and tried again with v1.3.5 and it worked like a charm! Thanks to the maker of this super useful tool!
[Android Software Development] Zhypr:
Nice. It worked even though windows said none of the drivers could be installed :p
[Android Software Development] Ronaldo_9:
this not working for me, says done but when i reboot i see the HTC green instead of the image i picked from the other thread
[Android Software Development] Zhypr:
It always says done. Did you put your phone in FASTBOOT mode? You have to select FASTBOOT from the hboot screen or it won't work.
[Android Software Development] sgtbanjo:
Thanks for this mate - worked flawlessly from a 480 x 800 bmp made in photoshop.
[Android Software Development] raze1000:
I am using windows 7 and all i do is make sure the phone is running fully (not in recovery or anything) plug the phone in via usb, select hard drive mode instead of charge or sync, run the software and it does it all automatically. ie it loads stuff then reboots into fastboot, loads stuff then reboots back to operating system.
[Android Software Development] HC4Life:
It works perfect.

Now i can change my splash bootscreen only with one click.

Thanx danward ;)
[Android Software Development] AdamLC:
Worked flawlessly many thanks :)
[Android Software Development] blackfox888:
Thanks, work perfectly:):)
[Android Software Development] danward:
I run it of drive D and my images are on drive C. Can someone else verify? But so far, seems to be the most stable build. Anyone having issues with the new NBIMG?

Which app version of my program are you using?

Dan
[Android Software Development] jungoed:
the .exe

load the .bmp and then program's ****ed
[Android Software Development] jungoed:
Dude, do you have USB Debugging enabled? and do you have an S-OFF bootloader?

Also. The SPLASH screen page is up. Check it out.

phone reboot in fast mode but still the same screen green htc
[Android Software Development] morcus:
Hey !

First thanks for this tool, it's very helpfull ! :)

But, I would like to know if your app is adaptable to works also with splash2 ?

It could be nice to be able to change splash1 or splash2, or both of them at the same time.
[Android Software Development] danward:
Splash2 is bootanim in the system directory. As far as I know, there is no need to flash from fastboot if you have S-OFF.

Redownload the program and try again.
[Android Software Development] deeeez:
doesnt work for me, windows 7 64bit

i download fresh just few minutes ago.

program crashes. do i need anything else installed on this computer.
[Android Software Development] danward:
What percentage does the bar have? Is it close to half? If so, do you have USB debugging enabled om your phone?
[Android Software Development] deeeez:
as soon as i hit go and select image i get a message saying application crash.

the green bar stays around halfway.

usb debugging is enabled.

Ok, I'll get back to you. I'm at work now, I'll have it done in about 7 hours.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dan

EDIT: Scratch that. Done it on my lunch break. Try the new NBIMG, should work guys. Compiled with MinGW.
[Android Software Development] deeeez:
Ok i am an idiot, i was using a JPG file i got from the other thread.

however I tried with a .bmp and it all seemed to go OK, green bar went to full and said done, but my phone didn't reboot.

and i rebooted manually and Joker is still there??
[Android Software Development] danward:
Try using task manager to close all fastboots and adbs. Then try again.

EDIT: Try 1.3.7 with the ADB fix
[Android Software Development] deeeez:
ok it worked now, thanks for your help nice work!!!
[Android Software Development] @ngel:
Now it works fine. Nice job. :)
[Android Software Development] Sebby:
same thing happens to me:(

1.3.7

windows 7
[Android Software Development] jungoed:
same here , windows x64 , i select the bmp file too flash then got a nbing error need to stop the task , then it reboot , the goes to fastboot , then it reboot with no change of the splash screen
[Android Software Development] Kameo:
Try to give the application XP compatibility with right click -> properties.

@danward:

when i 1st tried your app, i saved it like almost anyone on my desktop, and it crashed, i tracked the bug to be a path error (too long or invalid chars).

When i moved it to my C:\ root it worked fine, maybe others will face the same issue.

Another thing i'd like to say, your app should be noob-proof, please add a filechecker.

Just open the picture file and throw an error msg_box/alert_box if it's not a valid bmp (jpg/png/24 bits bmp).

Jpeg header file is plain ascii 'JFIF', PNG one is... 'PNG'.

Hope it helped a little bit :D
[Android Software Development] azrudin99:
Done,, :)

its easy.

thanks
[Android Software Development] JaymZ37:
Doesn't work for me :(

Do I need to plug my phone in bootloader ? or with android running ?

Thanks guys
[Android Software Development] danward:
Android running, with usb debugging.

@KameoRE It's also not a long path problem, I just tested "C:\New folder\New folder\New folder (2)\New folder\New folder\New folder\New folder\New folder\New folder\New folder\New folder\New folder\New folder\New folder\New folder\SPLASH Flasher" and it flashed fine.
[Android Software Development] pedaah:
Awesome Dan, first go, even though I whipped up a pretty low quality image to start with, worked perfectly, Thanx so much!

Edit, also seems to boost boot time, as splash shows for 50% less time :)
[Android Software Development] danward:
1.3.8!

Added Debug menu item.

Changed Framework to .Net 3.5, reduces errors, most people already have it. I still recommend 4.0 though.
[Android Software Development] deeeez:
I think you also need to install hboot drivers and htc drivers. because after i did this it worked with 1.3.7
[Android Software Development] Sebby:
all installed hdboot drivers and htc drivers

still not working

framework 3.5 and 4.0
[Android Software Development] Sebby:
same thing:confused:

where can i get the 1.3.5:rolleyes:
[Android Software Development] blackfox888:
here you go.
[Android Software Development] Sebby:

but don't work this one gives a error and a crash:(

1.3.7 gives a error:(

1.3.8 gives a crash:(

I give up!

I've tried all versions, device is S-Off'd debugging and diskdrive selected, hboot and htc drivers installed.

Tried to run all versions in XP compatability mode (I'm on Windows 7 64) Device just boots into fastboot, program says 'done'

I then manually reboot the device and the same old splash screen comes up. I must be missing something.
[Android Software Development] afrcom15:
Well I give up!

I've run all the different program versions, device is S-Off'ed, debugging and diskdrive selected. I've tried running the program in XP compatability mode as well as windows 7 64bit, hboot and htc drivers are installed. chosen image is correctly sized and .bmp.

The device just boots automatically into fastboot and sits there.:(

Program says done, I then have to manually reboot the device to find the same old splash screen, I must be missing something fundamental:confused:

OOPS! sorry for the duplicate post, it must be a sign of how distressed I'm getting
[Android Software Development] Pipe Merchant:
I was getting the same error and it seems that the nbimg.exe packaged with this program is not working properly on some platforms. I downloaded the nbimg from the creator's thread and performed the steps manually (as mentioned on the first page here), and everything worked fine :)
[Android Software Development] howdid:
done-...... it worked on my netbook... >.<
[Android Software Development] cybermessiah:
This utility just wouldnt work for me.. any version. pressed 'GO' without the desire even plugged in and it said that completed its operation successfully....huh??:eek:

Anyway... used the splash1.img it created in ins temp folder [that part at least worked]. Popped that img into the tools folder of my SDK.. Booted the phone into fastboot and connected it to the puter and used the ADB cmd promt:

fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

to manually flash it to the phone.... worked like a charm with manual flash.... :D

this proggy wouldnt even recognize my phone as connected.:(
[Android Software Development] KoTiX2:
I think there is a problem with nbimg, i found another version of the exe here:

[Desire HD General] dlads:
THinking of getting the DHD on my network Orange when i'm due for an upgrade in October and i was wondering if it will actually be available? Does anyone know what the flagship network will be?

Please don't say o2 lol, i hate those buggers.
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
As far as I know, Vodafone is going to be the "flagship". HTC seemed to be bigging them up a lot at the launch event.

Orange and T-Mobile are getting the phone too, but they didn't get a mention.

O2 so far aren't even getting the phone at all!
[Desire HD General] EddyOS:
3rd party online stores are offering the HD on T-Mobile, Orange, O2 and Vodafone...always best to get from a 3rd party as to not get a crap branded handset!!
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
Yep, that's what I did with my TP2 and is what I'm doing with my HD :)
[Desire HD General] darrenjdoc:
I have it ordered from a 3rd party on Vodafone. I wonder because it will be the first shipment will it have all the Vodafone crap on it or touch wood it will be sim free ??
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
Depends where you get it from and whether you're first shipment or not.

When I ordered my TP2 from mobilephonesdirect I was first shipment and Voda didn't even have theirs yet - so I got an unbranded one.

I don't know if somewhere down the line Voda got their stock and MPD started selling from Voda stock rather than sim-free stock...

I expect at this stage all stock that doesn't come direct from an operator will be unbranded and sim-free.
[Desire HD General] darrenjdoc:
I ordered it from here immediately once they started taking orders so i should be in the first shipment - http://www.mobiles.co.uk/htc-desire-hd.html

Here's hoping its sim free then m8 :)
[Desire HD General] themonkster:
I've just sent Orange an email asking about a release date. I'll post back when I hear something.

I never use a 3rd Party. Insurance is 6.00 a month on Orange. They replace the phone the next day usually no questions asked.

If you buy 3rd party you cannot insure your phone direct. You end up paying about 10.00 a month then if you want to claim they try everything to get out of helping you.

In my experience always buy direct. I know the branding is a pain. Custom Roms get rid of the bloatware. A small badge you can put up with.

If you buy a 3rd party phone the main operator will always tell you to contact who you bought your phone from if there's a fault.

That's where you will start having problems.

[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
I phoned Vodafone about my TP2 when I got it asking if I can have insurance put on through Vodafone rather than via the reseller and they said "Yep no problem" and put it on for me! Not had to use it, but just saying...
[Desire HD General] themonkster:
That's good maybe it's just Orange. I got a phone from Phones 4 you years ago and Orange wouldn't touch me on insurance. I just like to deal direct because I get really good loyalty discounts.
