Post your boot images here (With instruction how to flash)

I would like to request users to post all there boot images in a single thread for all other users. and i would also request a boot image that is the Gucci and FBI boot image modded for mytouch that is available in the dream forum, i can post them if you can't find coz with those images i can make a perfect boot ROM(special Hero) highly modded and highly cool if anybody can mod the images for my touch or just use the name magic. with that if done i can make a secure and cool hero ROM that will run as fast as cyanogen's and Good boot and graphics
This is updated with the latest tool. (Windows)
I included a zip with all files you may need at the bottom of the post.
1. Turn off your phone
2. Turn on the phone into bootloader (camera+power).
Make sure it say fastboot in the middle if not hit back and it should appear-
3. Make sure your device is found in device manger
If you don't see adb device up top in device manger find the yellow mark devices
Right Click, update driver, and point to the location of the USB Driver
(http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip)
4. Open and extract the below zip to your desktop
You should now have a custom and fastboot folder on your desktop
5. Open up a dos window (start>run>CMD)
6. Type cd desktop then cd fastboot
7. If you would not like to flash the sample images skip to step 9
8. copy and paste the command line by line
fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565
fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565
fastboot reboot
Part 2 Making your own images
9. Open up the "create" folder
10. Run CreateG1Splash.exe
11. Open up your image in the program and click convert
12. Go to the folder of your images and their you will find mysplash.rgb565
13. Place the mysplash.rgb565 into the fastboot folder
14. copy and paste the command line by line
fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565
fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565 (maybe the mytouch or magic spl does not have splash2 partition. dont panic if it gives any error. it cannot brick the phone)
fastboot reboot
i just copied it from the dream forum so credits to them

Here are the boot images to be edited
I finally found the images on my hard drive, so here they are. Can anybody replace G1 with mytouch

Right, so here's what I boot to =)
Andy and Astroboy my 2 favorite androids!

Nice! How do you change the boot screen?

Using fastboot
We can change the using fastboot and boot images tool, ican upload it if requested

Here's mine. I included the .jpg and the .rgb565 file for easy use, if anyone would want it.

if u can upload that it would be nice. i wanna try to mamke a nice boot screen. if u have some tutorial on how to make the glow also would be nice, sorry im still new to this as mytouch is my first android phone.

Here's one for ya
myBoot.zip has both a jpg and the raw565 file. Enjoy
edit: Also decided to add the original boot image that spawned this - myOriginalBoot.zip
edit: I finally got that peeing Andy working on this thing! framework-res.apk attached. You need to do the following:
Update your 32b phone to Cyanogen 4.1.2.1
Unzip framework-res.apk from the framework-apk.zip attachment
From a shell, run:
adb remount
adb push /path/to/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework.apk
Now reboot your phone and enjoy your custom boot splash followed by the animation of Andy peeing on an apple that looks suspiciously familiar.
Note - I take no credit for the images you see here. I simply compiled them into boot screens for your enjoyment.

Here is mine... my first try at Adobe CS4 Fireworks... haha

Here is mine (for now)

Can anybody please change the names in these images

Charnsingh - Try these
I put these together in like 5 minutes, so if you want me to change something or if it's not quite perfect, let me know and I'm happy to correct.
Enjoy!
BTW - nice work on the Debian installer, got it running on my myTouch right now and I can't get over having LXDE on my phone
edit - I just noticed the FBI screen had Dream written on it, so you'll notice I made some adjustments to that graphic as well.

For the lxde just install vnc viewer from the market then start debian. After that go to vnc after sometime and input the values given and you Will be running lxde. Have any problem pm me. Thanks for the edit I will throw on a Gucci FBI Rom tomorrow. Just gimme your name and I will make a special one for you (with login and pass)

maybe i may just give the files coz i cant keep on updating each and every hero ROM, and people it will be universal, can be used on any hero ROM. I will create a one click file for windows and mac(you must have adb set up) and one for the phone. Files will be build.conf, the edited system files, the sound files, some image files and sim tracker app from market if you would like that. The editing will not affect the speed, i can also make a speedu script for hero as i have done for my phone which needs to be run every time you flash a hero ROM, just message me

flash troubles...
how long does it take to flash the new splash screen??? my cmd is sitting at sending 'splash1' <300kb>...
and not moving--- anyways i have another question..
there is HBOOT and FASTBOOT...
when im in FASTBOOT it says sending 'splash1' <300kb>... FAILED <remote: not allow>
when im in HBOOT it just sits at sending 'splash1' <300kb>...until i close or do something else to stop it... i let it sit for 20 min--- no way in hell should it take that long

It never takes more than a second for me...

ok so im not sure why i keep getting remote: not allow any help out there?

What SPL are you using? Search the forum for how to root your myTouch.

I have tried over and over to install the USB driver and it will not install. Im running Win7. Is this my issue and how can I get the driver to work so I can run FastBoot?

Help! Cant boot g1 after "danger spl"

I updated my phone's SPL to "Danger SPL" and now my phone wont turn back on! I press power and the black Android screen with the little green android next to it comes up but wont boot my phone! The only thing I can do is get the white screen with the 3 android's skateboarding by pressing camera + power.
Ontop of that, I had tried to update my phone's recovery image too, and I erased the old one and now it would let me upload the NEW one! So not only do I have NO PHONE but NO RECOVERY either!
What do I do!? HELP!

can you get into fastboot? (back+power)
if you can, get adb running and flash your recovery image with fastboot

you are gonna have to fast boot in the screen with the three androids on it, either a rom or a recovery
guess you betta learn how to use adb

Yea I can get into fastboot, thats the ONLY thing I can get into. How do I flash my recovery image?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669

boot your phone into fastboot. plug in your usb cable to your pc. this should change the fastboot icon on the screen to fastboot usb. from there, load up adb on your pc and make sure you have the fastboot option available by typing fastboot devices. it should list your phone. once that is good, type:
fastboot flash recovery and the correct name of your recovery file.
for example:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img
**also note...put the recovery image in your android sdk\tools folder**
this should give you a recovery to boot into.
if you dont have adb on your pc, read this and follow the instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719

I did that already, it wont work.
C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery123.img
error: cannot load 'recovery123.img'

i am gonna be the one to ask this question but did you put .s between 123 like 1.2.3.

you need to be in the tools directory, not the android directory.
c:\Android\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img

and you need the recovery file IN your tools folder for it to be found as well.

No I didn't put .'s between each number I renamed my file recovery123.img so thats the way I put it in.

ok, so go to the correct directory and input what you had the first time, WITH the file IN that same folder. and then report back.

i justed rename my recovery the shortest way i can like for amon ra"s i just put amon, less typing is always better

It says C:\Android\tools is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

from your c:\> prompt type this:
cd c:\android\tools
(this is assuming you have the android sdk in the c:\android folder on your pc)
if it is saying its not a folder, then that is not where you installed the android sdk.

This is not true. You can have it anywhere as long as you can cd to it and you have your fastboot.exe in the system32 folder.
Look... this is so easy I'm wondering why this has gone on for more than 1 page.
First thing is first. I'm betting that you don't have the new ADB driver for the Danger SPL.
If you refer to this page:
http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/
it states:
If you use the above SPL you will need new drivers for Windows. They are located here.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then put your fastboot.exe in c:\windows\system32 directory.
Whatever recovery file you're trying to use rename it to "recovery.img" and put it on C:\ then open command prompt (start > run > cmd > enter)
cd c:\
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and it should show a progress bar in the top right corner.
While the dos screen shows 'sending' and then 'writing'.
After you see ...done a second time then type:
fastboot reboot
and it should reboot just fine... but you may need to do that "3 finger solute" (talk, end, menu) while holding the camera button down to get into your recovery. You should be able to flash your rom. Just make sure the rom doesn't have a radio update (unless it's the 2.22.19.26I).

No problem. I just hate it when something this simple drags onto multple pages. Call it a peev. So many people get intimidated by the "Danger SPL" because they don't want to risk bricking their phones. The odds of bricking your phone are extremely small if you follow directions and read everything. And sure the possibility of accomplishing this by different means exists. But when you try to tell someone to put this file in that folder and type in the full names of the files to include all the dots and dashes, it's going to get confusing and intimidating and thus these posts keep popping up.
If someone follows those very short and simple directions they shouldn't have any problems. Granted that "**** happens" and things don't always go as they should. So in that case, search for your answer. If you've searched on XDA then search Google. Out of the MILLIONS of G1's that have been sold, I am fairly certain that someone out there has had a similar problem. If not then you and your phone are literally "1 in a million" (technically it was 1 in 1.5 million a year ago so you can bet that it's well over 2 if not 3 million by now). And if you really fall into that catagory then please post a new thread (in the appropriate catagory of course) .

well the good news is u didnt brick ur phone but try a enter adb and do a nadroid back up if u hav 1 that will bring u back 2 the way u want it

either flash a nadroid or flash dreaming.nbh....i had the same problem and a nadroid worked just fine

G1 Caution sign

Okay i have this caution sign with a phone under it and i got this phone from my friend.
I have no idea how to get rid of it. i tried using dreaimg.nbh and holding camera and power button but it doenst work. tried using a update.zip file and it didn't work.
Any help...? :/
EDIT: i tried putting the .nbh file in an update.zip and it says no signature, verification..

Did you try pressing Alt+L at that screen and then following the commands to wipe it before running the update.zip?

do hard reset
Hey, u can do a hard reset.
When does this sign come up?
On the exclamation screen press alt+w(ie alt and w together), your phone will be factory reset!
Please provide more information so that i can help u, like when does this screen come up and all.

It always comes up, everytime i boot up the phone it is stuck on the caution sign.
Ive tried using alt+l and alt+w, been through the whole factory reset.
Nothing works from the recovery screen.

Can you get into Fastboot (Power + Camera)? If you can, you may be able to configure in fastboot to run a different recovery instead of the stock recovery.
See this to configure Fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
It's worth a shot since the Stock Recovery isn't doing it for you.
EDIT: I just re-read your post and you said Fastboot doesn't work. So the only other thing I can think of is reverting to an older version of the software. You said that you attempted to put the *.nbh file in a folder you named "update.zip". Did you actually make the zip folder or did you download the zip folder? If you created the zip folder (just took a folder, dropped the *.nbh in there, and then zipped it) then the signing would be the issue.
When you say nothing works from the recovery screen, does that mean when you press Alt + L the screen doesn't change layouts? Or do you get the text information?

I made the zip my self and dropped the .nbh file in, how would i make the signing issue go away?
When i press also alt + L if gives me the android recovery screen with the options of reboot device, factory restore. etc.

Bump..help please^^^

Follow this guide to sign the file maybe?

OKay thank you and would i sign the .nbh file or the zip folder, because i cant sign the .nbh file

[TOOL][All devices & OS] Fastboot Commander [v.1.51][UPD 15 AUG 2011]

Don't forget to hit that "thanks"/Donate button or check out my APK(s) installer tool found in my signature :0)
Updated to version 1.51.
Added: Conversion of BMP images to ready-to-flash splash files on all 3 systems.
Modified: Graphical layout is now more in sync in all 3 systems.
Modified: All tooltips are now corrected and fully helpful :0)
Hi everyone.
This is a tool written in JAVA for easier flashing of the following partitions:
Radio, hboot/spl, recovery, system, boot, userdata, kernel and splash.
It can do much more, like:
Conversion of 24bit BMP images to ready-to-flash splash files.
Erase/wipe multiple or single partitions.
Reboot device either to system or fastboot.
Print of device info.
Flash of kernel.
Possible to run custom fastboot commands instead of using cmd/shell.
Flash of signed zip files (E.g. fastboot flash zip myzip.zip)
The above(Flash of signed zip) should not to be confused with flashing of custom rom files!
It's only meant for signed HTC roms with complete system layout.
Flash multiple files in one click by using custom folders and tags.
It's basically a GUI over most fastboot commands.
It works for Windows, Linux and Mac.
No need for Android SDK, the jar-file has all needed files bundled!
It's well tested and have more than +10000 users.
It works for all devices which has fastboot :0)
Any feedback is appreciated.
Requirements:
Min 30 % battery!
Engineering hboot/spl OR S-OFF!
Do not reboot or shutdown, if you ever get an error flashing the radio or the hboot/spl!
Ask here for help if it happens!
Instead of having to maintain multiple OPs, i have decided to redirect the OP to the desire forum. It's only the facade and nothing else. All questions and ect regarding the WildFire will still be on this thread :0)
The tool is the same and will work on any device which have fastboot mode.

That is not correct...
The javaw.exe command is identical to java.exe, except that with javaw.exe there is no associated console window.
But thank you for trying to help... that's whats matter - always give back :0)

it seems that there is an issue with the splash screen creation. It fails on Mac/Linux and windows.
I've managed fixing this on Mac/Linux by renaming nbimg to nbimg.exe in the Tools folder.
Thanks for your job!

As stated in the OP, this feature is only for Windows for now... i have not bundled the Linux binaries with this version...
But, if you have those versions (Specially for mac, i cannot test that feature) i will very much have those sent to me... I will PM you :0)

[Hannspad] Custom Boot Logo and Animation - Google Gears

Hi guys, here's my little contribution to the scene.
I was upset with the Flashback's Boot animation (no offense to the dev, but for the life of me... it's ugly!) so i decided to "port" the one i use on my HTC Desire.
So here it is, just copy the bootanimation.zip to your /data/local folder and reboot to enjoy it.
You can either use a file manager (root manager, file manager hd, es file explorer...), i personnally go for the QtADB option (easier way to handle files).
Here's what it will look like:
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUYhNWQc1_g[/media]
Edit - 18/Sept/2011:
Just a little video to show the work in progress.
I've managed to change the boot logo, working on a little app to ease the process for everyone atm.
Edit - 19/Sept/2011:
Until i come with a nice solution to reboot in APX mode, please use the following archive to flash a custom splash screen.
Little dirty tut, wait for a better one.
0. Always make a backup / Download and unpack the main archive / Read the whole tut twice before proceeding.
1. If you have already installed the APX drivers and made a backup of your partitions, please go to step 5.
2. Otherwise just power your tab off, then press Volume - and Power On till the screen turns black.
Windows will ask for specific drivers, locate them in the previous unpacked archive. When it's done proceed to the next step.
3. Run 'backup_hannspad.bat' to backup your partitions.
Please save those part?.img somewhere safe. Open the partition.txt and look for the following line: Name=BLO.
Just above, you'll find 'PartitionId=x'.
This number is important, as it tells us which partition holds the Boot LOgo. For me it's partition 7:
PartitionId=7
Name=BLO
DeviceId=19
StartSector=3712
NumSectors=2048
BytesPerSector=2048
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Once it's done, power off. Then boot once again in APX mode (vol - and power), you might need to do this since sometime the apx command line isn't
really recognized.
5. If your partitionID is not 7, edit the "nvflash_hannspad_splash.bat" from the archive to the relevant number.
Otherwise run it and wait till it's finished. You'll see some progress in the window..
6. When everything is over, just reboot. Yoou should see your new splash screen.
7. If it doesn't work:
- Check the logo.bmp. Your picture must be 1024x655x24bits, check the following section ffor more info.
- Power the tab off, and restart the flash, sometimes apx is peeky.
Hope it helps till we find a better solution.
Quick sum up, for lazy users:
Double check your BLO partition (often 7 on our Hannspad, but could be 6 or Gtablet).
Make a specific bmp, width = 1024, height = 655, and 24bits, save it as logo.bmp
You could also open the one in the archive and edit it to your needs, make sure to keep the settings (1024x655x24).
Reboot the Hannspad in apx with Volume - and Power for a while, till it starts to boot but the screen turns black.
Then run the "nvflash_hannspad_splash.bat" from the archive, it will works just fine.
If your PartitionId is not '7', then you must edit the previous .bat file with the relevant number (for ex, 6).
Reboot and enjoy.
If it doesn't work, post your log or errors here.

Thx bro
Yeah the Standard one is ugly >_>
Good too see that there is some work for Hannspad

this is very cool thanks!! do you also have a different splash screen you use?
Will this also work for the Droid Incredible 2? Or does it have to be formatted?

I think that it should, there's no reason it wouldn't
If ever, just say it here and will sort it out.
However, i'm still stuck with the current Hannspad boot logo, i want to come with a clean/simple solution to flash the boot logo.

Hi everyone, just updated the 1st post with a little video.
I've managed to change the boot logo/splash screen so expect a little tool to perform this
Hopefully everyone will mod his/her tablet and we can then show xda that we truely deserve our own section!

Added a little and dirty tutorial so you guys can start messing with the custom splash screens (until i come with a nice reboot into apx mode solution).
