Do you know if you had the engineering HBOOT? It was version 0.85.2007?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
hmmm i wouldnt know. what would be the only way to have that engineering hboot?

its just so weird. the phones its like completely dead as if it didnt have a battery. at first i thought i had entered the wrong commands in terminal but when i tried once and i didnt enter the commands right it gave me an error so it didnt even work. so i know i typed in the right commands the second time.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I got my phone a few days after launch, so the only HBOOT they had to flash to get s-off was the engineering HBOOT. But from what I understand about other root processes (specifically Grankin's Ultimate s-off method) is that the engineering HBOOT must be flashed after the ultimate root process is completed. I know that the eng HBOOT is required to flash through fastboot. But I am not sure about flashing it through the terminal. With fastboot, you cannot access the partition at all without that HBOOT. So if you tried without that version, you wouldn't be able to do any damage. But with the terminal it may be possible that without the engineering HBOOT it may have began the write and failed in the middle. This is all speculation, but it's the only thing that seems to make any sense as to why this didn't work. I haven't had any issues like this before. So I'm really stumped!

Edit: Also, try holding the back button while booting. This should take you directly to fastboot mode. If you get here you can re-flash your recovery.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
hmmm i dont know. i rooted my phone with visionary and flashed with rom manager and got s off through terminal. i do know that when i would go into hboot i had a fastboot option.

i really dont understand what happened. i pushed 2 custom splashes that i made through terminal before this happened. but they wouldnt work i guess because the dimensions werent 480x800. so i would still get the sock splash with like a rainbow looking bar all the way at the top of the splash. thats why i ended up asking for some one to do the right dimensions for me and then decided to just push a custom splash that was already done for the mean time and thats when everything went south.

i dont know. i guess ill wait till later see if anybody else has any thought on it and if not ill just go to the tmo store and hopefully theyll exchange it for me there.

thanx for the help though.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I really hope everything works out for you! Good luck!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
thank you thank you.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
So it booted to fastboot?!

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
no i tried everything and still couldnt get it to power on. just went to the tmo store and got a new one.

Nice! I'm really glad you were able to get a new phone! That's the ****! :D

Iriscience- Any chance of putting a video together, to include how to obtain engineering hboot, Using both ADB and Terminal methods?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I don't have any kind of a video recorder. I wish I did! It would make this a whole lot simpler. :/ If anyone else wants to make one though, I will gladly post a link to it.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
I would be happy to make a video, but I'm not sure I follow. You guys want a video of "How to flash the Engineering Hboot via ADB and terminal" I am 99% sure that adb doesnt even need to be used to flash the Eng Hboot but I could be wrong.

Oh and Iriscience, I forgot to tell you.

From what I can tell in order to flash using fastboot you must have eng hboot but you can use the Terminal Emulator method if you dont have the eng hboot. That is why some people cant fastboot flash using my script. I was going to change it, but havent yet.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Right on. Good to know! :) I was afraid that that was the reason coupestatic-droid bricked his phone. That means that the reason must have been his flashing two splash screens that weren't of the proper size before flashing one of mine. I will change it in the OP. Thanks again for all your help!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
Not sure why it bricked but I am pretty sure it wasnt from this. I read about a similar things happening to other people while flashing a Rom so I think it just happened to happen after flashing this and rebooting.

Just let me know what kind of vid you guys want.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] mulletcutter:
wooohoooo it worked, followed blues terminal method and it was easy.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
Alright guys. I'm ready to try this again lol. Crossing fingers lol. All I need is to have this image below customized so it can say (Mr. Coupe's Glacier) in the same lettering. So basically replace the name that's thre with mine. Thanx in advance.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
I can do it up for ya in a little bit. Do you want "Mr. Coupe's" or "Mr. Coupe's Glacier" in place of the name that is there? And its good to have you back with a working phone :D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
Mr. Coupe's Glacier. Thanx Drew.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Here ya go. If you want anything changed, just let me know.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
Thanx iriscience. One more thing before I do this though. Once I extract the image from the zip and rename it, where do I put it? Do I just move it to my sdcard?

I'm doing it through terminal.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
yes, it should be on the root of your sd. and i'll put a pic up so you know what it looks like before you flash it! i can't believe i forgot it! :)

Edit: here's what it look like. :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
Sweet! Thanx alot. Alright. Going to push now. If I don't come back in 10 minutes then you guys know what happened lil. Crossing fingers!

EDIT: I'm back! And its freaking awesome. This time it worked with no problems on first try. Thanx iriscience.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
Glad you made it unscathed
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] mulletcutter:
didnt know we could make requests.....but i can get this, and instead of ROOTED it says MULLETCUTTER like inbetween android and bottom, same font. please :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
The only reason I was able to do that one so easily is because I made the original and still have the psd. If you post in UntamedDeviance's request for splash screens thread he might still have his psd. The background makes that one a little difficult.

Edit: Any of the screens I made I'll happily customize for you.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] mulletcutter:
ok, same one you just made but MULLETCUTTER :D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I didn't know whether you'd want it to have an apostrophe or not. So I made two.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] mulletcutter:
wow that looks awesome, just put it threw terminal and rebooted....thank you :D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
You're welcome! :D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:
I went to flash this and when ever i try to open the .zip i get this
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
For that one, just delete the .zip from the end. Then flash.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] cabello80:
No, I was suggesting a "how to" video to obtain E-hboot and then a "how to" video of flashing the splash screen using both adb and terminal

Are you saying we don't need E-hboot or fastboot if we use the terminal method?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
That is correct. All you need is root access, SU, and terminal emulator. With those three you can flash through terminal with no need for the engineering hboot or adb/fastboot. Just follow the instructions in the OP and you're good to go.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:
It will not allows me to access the file to rename it. Every time i right click on it i get that message. I guess i 'll save the pic and use the splash image deal TrueBlue made.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Here ya go. I stripped the .zip off, then just zipped the .img. Now it should open in WinZip for you.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Phateless:
Never got an answer for this - do we know if PD15IMG.zip will replace the splash screen back to stock? Just curious in case I ever need to unroot.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I'm pretty sure it will. Not 100% positive though. If you ever need to unroot, the original splash screen is available in post 2.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Awesome! Thanks so much for the confirmation.

Sent from my badass Galaxy Tab
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
Normally I have had this issue with a corrupted file or with a wrong sixed image. You can flash right over the top of it. You cant actually revert back without flashing a new image. But dont worry, that bad one you flashed wont to anything but look bad so just flash a new one over it. You can check out my splash flasher to make a backup of your current splash screen but it just copies the exsisting one.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
iriscience or drew...another request for me if its possible whenever you guys have the chance. can i get the splash below but instead of saying rooted can you guys change it to (Nanchi's Glacier) in the same lettering as rooted is. thanx in advance guys.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
You got it. I'll take care of it when I get home tonight.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
Aight cool thanx.

I made the greatest Splash Screen of them all. . .It looks so nice on the device! Its a surprise, and no its not NSFW(Work or wife), and it has nothing to do with Cyanogen Mod. Flash it, then thank me later :cool:. It is really really sick.

running cm7 rc2
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] byno1:
i did it through terminal n it worked fine for me will post a youtube video later to show proof
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] lowandbehold:
Just flashed it through terminal and it worked fine. I'm definitely a noob and renamed the file custom.img on my desktop before putting it on my sd card. Needless to say it didn't work the first time I tried it. Went into my file manager and found it, so i had to use the command custom.img.img..Maybe my mistake will help someone else :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Did you want the same cyan colored splash screen that I have been customizing for other people, or did you want a different one?

I tryed to use terminal emulator to change splash screen and now it looks like a tv turned on with no cable.can anybody tell me how I can fix this and have a good splash screen?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] brandonrsilas:
I have 2.2 on themed iced gl 1.6
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Not sure why that's happening. Some people seem to have issues when flashing through terminal. Try flashing it through fastboot. That should fix it. I haven't had any issues when flashing through fastboot.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
So we go the splash flashing down. What's up with some sound, or a greeting to go with the new splashs?

I woukd like my device to greet me lol. For example; "Welcome back Mr. Coupe, to your HTC Glacier" or some thing of some sort. That would be tight!

Can it even be done?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
That would be possible in boot animations. I'm not sure exactly how to implement, but it should definitely be possible

Sent from my R2'd out CM7 Glacier
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] tnpapadakos:
yes it can be done
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
I know it can be done on boot animations. I'm running the black ops animation with sound right now. But it would be cool some sound from the splash screen. If I had another device I can play with I would try it but I don't. I'm not brave enough to try on mine lol.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
If someone wants to make a test splash screen for a myTouch 3G I'll flash it to my old phone. But yeah... I'm totally not flashing that **** to my baby! :)

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I don't think anyone ever did... You were so ambiguous about what it was, I don't think anyone was willing to put their device at risk. I'll extract the image and check it out.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] tnpapadakos:
dont know about splash sound, but enabling bootanimation sound goes like this:

what you do is place this bootsnd.sh (its a file inside the .rar attached here; download th .rar and take out the bootsnd.sh file) on your sdcard, and place the .mp3 file you want to play during bootanimation in /system/media

rename the .mp3 as "android_audio.mp3"

then go into terminal (or adb shell, whichever you prefer) and at the # prompt type:

sh /sdcard/bootsnd.sh

then press enter

it will be really quick, then a # will appear

reboot

enjoy, and thank Mrdaviso
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Thanks for the info on activating the boot animation sound tnpapadakos! That's awesome!

And ~~Tito~~, there isn't any image to flash inside the .img you posted. I attempted to pull it with ffmpeg and there wasn't anything there. If you re-upload that I'll check it out!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
I hope one of you awesome devs can take on the task of adding sound for the splash screen. :)

There is a link to the process in the OP. Essentially it is just make a 480x800 .png, then convert it with the process in the link, and viola! You have your flashable .img.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jjjackson56:
I'm not super familiar with linux but I know with the windows sdk the newest update puts fastboot in a different folder and it needs to be moved back into your tools folder. Also you need the latest update of the sdk for things to work properly.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] gaww:
Well, you finally got me to setup and use sdk/adb tools.

Followed the thread on how to set it up, then the instructions on the fist page here, and it flashed the splash ok the first time (goodbye ugly stockwhite splash screen).

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] kambiz.aghaiepour:
I looked at the latest zip files for linux, mac and windows. The windows SDK is the only one that has fastboot in platform-tools. I wonder if this is an oversite, and if there's a place I can file for a bug and/or request to make sure Linux and Mac ports get fastboot back.
