here are three replacement splash images I made for the mytouch
all you need to do is to copy the image you want to flash to your sdk tools directory and hook up your phone is fastboot mode. Turn phone off press and hold back and power and then connect usb cable and run the following command.
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 image.rgb565
just replace the word image above with the name of the file that you have and then use
Code:
fastboot reboot
enjoy new splash
im still a little confused....
What are you confused about? All it is, is a replacement splash screen. The screen that you see the first when the phone is powering up. All you do is extract to the SDK/tools folder on your computer from the android sdk that should be installed on your computer. Start the phone is fastboot like i mentioned above and the type the commands. with a more direct example say you want the middle one, once you have extracted and done the other steps (if you are unsure of above search around the forum there are steps elsewhere)
the command for the middle image is
fastboot flash splash1 badtouch.rgb565
fastboot reboot
and then that image will be your new splash screen on the device. very simple.
ha! M.J.'s BAD
you think you could make a "don't worry this mytouch has root" splash screen like the on for the g1
Haven't seen that one. Have a link?
Error
I get this error while trying to flash the boot screen
sending 'splash1' (300 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)
What am I doing wrong
Sounds like you still have the original locked spl. You will need to flash a unlocked spl to do this. Just look at the how to root unroot MyTouch thread. It goes over the how to.
I love the 1bad splash! Thanks!
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?

+1 you need to root.
I made both of the bootanimation for my G1's using MS-Paint, just to prove im a guru with Photoshop, and i want to share it with the people here; i hope you like it. READ THE README FILE and if you dont understand it; ASK question.
Code:
1. You'll need a screen resolution of 320x480/Rooted Android phone
2. Have ADB and Fastboot setup on you PC
3. Boot Android into Fastboot
4. Flash the BootSplash with this command => fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565
5. Reboot into your Android OS
6. Change boot animation with these commands :
1st command => adb remount
2nd command => adb push [Black/White]Bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
7. Reboot Android and check if you did everything right.

Maybe you still get into fastboot mode, but screen is black due to corrupted splash partition? You can check that subj is in bootloader mode using "fastboot devices -l" from PC. If yes, you can reflash splash.img from 10.0.2.0 fastboot image.

Same as all other flashing via fastboot.
The only official fastboot image for Mi A2 AO Pie available yet is v10.0.2.0 PDIMIFJ and can be found at http://en.miui.com/download-353.html or https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824849.. Here in forum you can find hand-made variants of images for 10.0.3.0-10.0.7.0, but all these contain same image of splash partition as in official ROM (if any).
.TGZ and .TAR archives can be unpacked by 7z and many other programs.
Inside archive is directory called smth like "jasmine_global_images_V10.0.2.0.PDIMIFJ_9.0" containing the ready ROM image for fastboot flash.
Inside this directory there are several batch files, containing the same line for flashing splash partition:
Code:
fastboot flash splash %~dp0images\splash.img
Note that "splash.img" is foind in " \Images" subdirectory.
So, you will need:
1. Mi A2 with unlocked bootloader and critical partitions (search this forum on how to unlock) in bootloader mode, connected to USB 2.0 port in PC;
2. Working drivers and / ADB / fastboot installation.
3. "splash.img" copied into directory of working ADB / fastboot installation.
To check that requirement (1) and (2) are fulfilled, run CMD shell in directory of working ADB / fastboot installation and type
Code:
fastboot devices
If output list contains the only 1 string with ID of device (same as shown by "ADB devices -l" command in normal MTP file transfer mode), you are ready to type in commands:
Code:
fastboot flash splash .\splash.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
You are supposed to see the 'bunny' after phone reboots to bootloader mode once again. To reboot back to system just use "fastboot reboot"
If above is not helpful, bring phone to service

thanks for you information. my device is locked. when i try to peform fastboot devices , it shows me a error saying application was unable to start correctly.
1. Search for guides how to install ADB drivers and use fastboot, and study these
2. Search here for guides how to unlock bootloader and critical of Mi A2
Nobody will move your fingers except you.

thanks for your information.
My devices is locked(bootloader). and fastboot isn't showing up. now tell me how do i flash spalsh file?
1. Is phone working and the only problem is black screen in fastboot mode?
If phone is bricked, just bring it to service or somebody who knows what to do.
Following is what you could have already found in guides I was suggesting to find and study
2. Prepare everything for unlocking in phone:
2.1. Get "developer rights"
2.2 Allow "USB debugging" and "OEM unlocking" in developer options
3. Have you get acquainted with ADB drivers installation and ADB commands and fastboot commands?
Can you see result of "adb devices -l" command in CMD shell when phone is attached to USB-2.0 port with MTP file transfer enabled?
If no, just bring it to service or somebody who knows what to do.
4. Can you see result of "fastboot devices -l" command in CMD shell when phone is attached to USB-2.0 port in what is supposed to be bootloader mode with black screen?
If no, just bring it to service or somebody who knows what to do.
5.. If yes, and device ID is the same as in result of "adb devices -l" command
6. Unlock bootloader and critical (see guides here in Mi A2 threads), it takes 2 commands and 2 reboots
7. Reflash splash.img as stated above in my 1st message
Nobody here can repair your phone, - only you or service. So I won't write more here.

Can you help me with this? my phone is ok, when i run fastboot command it shows me "??????????? fastboot"
Restart pc or update adb and drivers.
Hi everyone ,
I tried flashing android 11 on my pixel 4xl today and I did the exact same procedures when I used to flash my pixel 2 but I don't know what went wrong and I am stuck on Fastbood Mode where it says :
Boot slot: b
enter reason: no valid slot to boot.
What I did was , I downloaded platformtols and pixel 4xl factory image. Then , I unzipped all contents into one folder. I ran cmd command and execute the following commands :
Before running the commands I enabled OEM Unlock and USB debugging .
In the command Prompt I executed :
cd\pp\p
adb
adb devices
then it showed the list of devices attached
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock
and then
flash-all
And now I am stuck on fastboot mode and my phone is not rooted if you are concerned . I contact google support and he thought its a hardware issue which I am damn sure it's not . He told me to send my phone to the repair center but I can not because I am not in US anymore and where I am living there is no Google Service Center. Can someone please help me I just want to run my phone again. Please !
Thanks.

When you run the flash all in fastboot, what messages/errors does it show?
I once ran into a similar problem, the fact that you have unlocked the bootloader is good as you can flash the factory image and boot it up.
Usually once in fastboot I check the devices with "fastboot devices", if it shows up, I close the adb window, copy the factory image files to the adb folder, and doublec click the flash all bat. It should do everything by itself and reboot now.

Just to add to this, make sure you left the image-coral-[buildnumber].[builddate].zip ZIPPED. Your folder should look something like this one, although you might also have your platform-tools in that same directory, which is perfectly fine, but not necessary if you have them added to your path.
Just try redoing the flash-all.bat again. This time, though, do it from powershell. Here's what to do. Right click in the folder, not on any item, just in the folder, and you should see "open powershell" (or command prompt, if this is the case, then just type powershell into the cmd window), click that. Then, type or copy and paste into the powershell prompt while in that directory:
.\flash-all.bat | Tee xda-flash-attempt.log
and if it still doesn't work and you're stuck in fastboot, just upload that .log file, so we can see what happened. If you're curious, what Tee does is it simultaneously takes standard input (i.e. what you see on the screen, the output of programs) and shows it to you, as well as sends it to a file, in this case, the xda-flash-attempt.log If you really don't want to use powershell, you can accomplish what's needed by typing flash-all.bat > xda-flash-attempt.log, but you will not see any of the output, as it will all be piped into that file. The | key is the one directly below backspace, which is the same key as \, but with shift held down.
Also, if it's not working, it might be worth checking that the checksum of the zip file you downloaded is correct, possibly redownloading it, and also checking what the flash-all.bat contents are. There are two files named flash-all in the folder, one a .sh for *nix systems, and a .bat for windows. While it should automatically assume you meant the .bat, it's best to be explicit. The .sh really wouldn't do anything different, if it worked, so it's a minor issue that really wouldn't make a difference, but still.
Edit: when you do type flash-all, the cmd prompt was in the directory with the flash-all.bat file as well as all of the other necessary files, yes? Seems obvious, perhaps, but just based on the "cd\pp\p" command you ran, which doesn't do anything, you should be changing directory to the directory that holds the flash-all.bat as well as the firmware.

Like others have said, you need to extract the Google image which has a nested zip file (which you leave alone unless you need something in there). Since you apparently are stuck and cannot boot, I suggest you extract the boot.img from that nested zip file into your tools folder and fastboot flash the boot.img to be able to boot the phone to system. You may need to do the vol-down button press to enter fastboot mode. Once you have your phone back and running, boot into fastboot mode and run the flash-all again. If you extracted the Google image completely, now the script can finish. Not sure if you want to wipe the phone while doing this, so you can also "dirty flash" . If you would like to retain all your apps and app data, edit the flash-all script with notepad and remove the wipe flag (-w) from the script and SAVE it before running. Best of luck. :good:

Put the unzipped factory image files (should be 6 of them) in your platform tools folder and then open up the command prompt in the platform tools folder and execute the flash-all command. Make sure all remnants of previous factory images, etc. are removed from the platform tools folder beforehand as well so you just have the platform tools default files in there as well as the 6 files from the factory image.
The latest version of platform tools is 30.0.4 I believe so make sure you have that version.
I just switched from a Pixel 2 xl and ran into the exact same problem with the no valid slot to boot error yesterday. It turned out I was not using the latest platform tools when flashing the factory image. I upgraded my platform tools to 30.04 and everything flashed and booted as expected.
Make sure you're using an A to C and not the C to C that comes with the phone when flashing. Yes, it matters.
Hi everyone,
Thank you so much guys for your quick responses . Well , I finally resolved my issue by the following commands so I'm just gonna post it for whomever may run into the same problem as I did .
First thing I did, was to download the latest Platform tools as well as USB Drivers and then I executed the following commands :
fastboot --slot=all flash bootloader ( Drag bootloader image ) By dragging I mean , you should unzip the flash factory image into a folder and then drag bootloader image into command prompt .
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot --slot=all flash radio ( Drag radio image )
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot --skip-reboot --slot=all update ( Drag Image file )
Boommmmm, my phone back on running again with no issue.
