I figured out how to enable boot sounds from this link posted below all credit goes to the OP. eollie make sure to thank him. and thank me if this helped at all
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240656 along with that you need to edit the default.xml file like this
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/ATT_bootanimation.zip" audio="/system/media/android_audio.mp3" />
</BootConfiguration>
I worked all night on this follow all the directions in the link i posted worked just fine for me make sure to make permission rw-r-r and drop the audio you wanna play with your boot animation in /system/media/

haha yeah its sad alot of people on xda and other forums no one really takes the time to read and figure out stuff man i checked your xml file good work for whatever reason the audio played when placed in system/media lol oh well it works thats all that matters.. .. onto other things lets talk splash screens bro

We need a tool that will convert .jpg or .png or .bmp images to a 540x960 splash.img (I'm sure there's one out there, just haven't looked too much). Once we have that, it will need to be packaged into a PH39IMG.zip and flashed in bootloader. If we had an ENG HBoot we could fastboot flash splash1 splash.img. Either way requires S-Off though (to either get ENG HBoot, which we don't have anyway, or to flash an unsigned PH39IMG.zip)
Here ya go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207595
Edit: Ah, damn you megaupload. I'm sure there are other tools out there
And again - won't be able to fastboot flash them, they'll need to be called splash1.img and packed properly into a PH39IMG.zip. Are you S-Off?
Edit: Promising: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196057
Apparently splashflasher works for 540x960 images fine
yeah bro i been s off since that tool was released
yeah i been trying to use it but im running the custom hboot from control bear tool so i think thats the issue with it not working

Shouldn't be a problem I wouldbt think. You won't be able to fastboot flash to splash1 without an eng hboot..which we don't have. It needs to be packed as a ph39img.zip and flashed through bootloader. I'll throw some together tomorrow and we'll see what happens.

Maybe eng hboot isn't necessary. Maybe the custom hboot that comes with the soff process will allow you to fastboot flash them. I'll post some here in a little for you to try
Since I'm not S-Off, I can't try this. But if you're still running the custom hboot that came with s-off, try this one:
just like you're flashing a boot.img, put custom.img in the same directory where you have fastboot, and the command will be -
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 custom.img
Unless you've changed the name of custom.img for some reason. Let me know

nah i got remote not allowed error.... also i flashed a new downani.zip and i think it broke my boot ani sound somehow. i tried using your zip it did nothing i even replaced the audio file twice and checked permissions no luck..

from my experience, the remote not allowed message means you need an ENG Hboot to fastboot flash to this partition, or at least a custom hboot that's been modified to allow this. Try this:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5s4a13zsr531nan
Put it on your SD, boot to bootloader, and bootloader should find it like any other ph39img. Vol+ to start the update, then PWR to reboot when it tells you
(Then when it reboots delete it from your SD, or at least rename it, so Bootloader doesn't automatically try to flash it every time you're there)
Edit: after looking around a little, apparently you should be able to fastboot flash splash1 with the JB_HBoot (on other devices at least). Have you switched hboots since gaining s-off, or does your hboot still show the junoptbear hboot?
To your other point, what was the downanimation you flashed? was it just a downanimation.zip you replaced manually, or did it flash through recovery? If it flashed through recovery, what else did it flash?
yeah ill try that let me try fastboot again i had to re flash jbhoot and restore my phone i reinstalled your bootsound/zip and it plated the htc jingle when it first booted after recovery so i think we got some progress man thanks alot this phone forum is extra dead its sad
splashflasher now works but the boot ani sound is broke again i changed its to the hd video bootani and i changed the audo for it and now i get no audio this is very odd seeing as it worked when i first booted it up

making sure the audio is called android_audio.mp3 and permissions are set accordingly?
and just to be clear, with the jbhboot you ARE able to fastboot flash to splash1?
Yes Jb hboot allows splash flasher to work. As for boot audio everything is correct

I finally successfully recovered my BootLooped Incredible after i incorrectly updated the NV item of my phone. My situation was a little different than most bootloop error because no matter which stock rom or recovery image I flash nothing would stop it from rebooting because the NV items weren't overwritten during the flash. Then I came across a solution for the EVO by cutthroatamft on how he recovered his EVO from the same Mistake but unfortunately all his files were geared toward the EVO. After much searching I accidentally came across a single comment that posted a link for the ENG-HBOOT for the incredible. Now i manage to replace all the EVO specific files with the Dinc equivalent. Below is the link to the files and instructions compile by cutthroatamft but I updated it for the Dinc. Hopefully this helps someone else that has this problem. can't post a live link but I think you can figure it out
update:
Since megaupload is down and Had some people asking for a re-up here's a mediafire link to the file
http://www.mediafire.com/?cu7hu6pu75zvskh
Also as mentioned below by eljean this should work on the SLCD as well it's just your screen will be blank during the process. For those who has this Dinc I found that if the screen is blank wait a few minutes for it to fully boot then test to see if you can execute any ADB command. If you can the just type "adb reboot oem-78" this will reboot it and put it in fastboot mode which will allow you to execute the commands in the document.
update 2:
Nevermind what I said about the ADB... this worked for me on another phone but I realize you'll probably won't get to a point where you can execute the command because your phone in a loop LOL. So I guess getting to fastboot blind folded is your only option

The engineering HBOOT can be quite useful for many things besides flashing/erasing certain partitions. The inc community just hasn't used it that much.

Please try this and report back. The following procedure worked on a brand new Desire S with S-ON so I am assuming it will work on incredible as well.
With phone on go to:
Settings/Power/
Uncheck "fast Boot"
exit settings
Turn phone off
Boot with Power and volume down
wait
select "Recovery"
hit power to select
wait
you will now get a stupid icon on screen that won't go away
hit power and volume up
you should now be in recovery
From here you should be able to install a ROM as long as it is signed.
You may also be able to do some hackery if plugged into usb while in this screen using ADB or Fastboot. Please try and report back.
Best
Ty

Confirmed working.
Tried is on my S-ON IS.
You get into Android Recovery <3e> =)
Technically it should be possible to debrand a network branded handset with a P***.zip file on an sdcard?? Or am i barking up the wrong tree?
Yep, S-ON IS will boot into recovery using this method. Though I haven't flashed a ROM or tried any 'hackery' as yet.
Thanks for posting back with confirmation.
Hopefully some folks with some badass adb-foo will hit back with some test results on using adb or fastboot in this mode.
I am sure "fastboot oem unlock" won't work but one can dream.
Hope someone can try simply running these 2 commands in the recovery mode:
adb devices
and
fastboot devices
and let us know if either work.
Ty
Won't work, fastboot doesn't recognize it and adb is disabled in HTC recovery, I thought (but not sure) that usb is disabled completely. Almost everything has been tried to hack the recovery. But it checks the files to many times, so exploits through scripts doesn't work. It checks the file's signature before flashing and since hijacking cannot be done it will be one hell of a job. A lot of high skilled hackers tried it already for a month almost non-stop.
But if you can come up with a way to exploit, your the god in here haha

You can sign a Rom, but it is not signed with HTC's key, they keep it private, the device has a public key within it, which can see if its from HTC, go look at a wiki about public and private keys/signing. Will make it a lot clearer!
So no use
Big step! I think we are closer to root!
Recovery working on my IS S-On, hope some devs will be able to make something for IS soon....
It's no step at all.... This is already known and found useless. Unless HTC releases signed s-off bootloader. So this "discovery" is already known and not worth anything

using One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.5 for all my modding
got token
unlocked bootloaded
didn't flash any recovery
flash a new .img kernel, but i used a boot.img from a zip file (home2wake zip) - don't ask why, i wasn't thinking lol
phone rom was all black, keeps rebooting
i managed to flash recovery, recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-m7wls.img
then wanted to restore stock rom
so i downloaded, this rom, http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
flashed zip using recovery
went through the rom custom installation of what i wanted installed.
After that it rebooted and stuck on green htc screen
i can get back into boot loader, but can't load recovery, can't factory reset, any option i select, the screen flash and sends me back to bootloader
rom won't load, can't get into recover, computer not detecting phone

you can try to load ADB Fastboot on your PC, then connect your phone via usb, be sure to have all of the drivers.
in bootloader, if it reads FASTBOOT USB, then you can us

once that is done you should be able to at least get back into recovery....

Android Revolution ROM is not for the sprint htc one. fyi
First you'll need this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
Extract to someplace you can find it, maybe the desktop
if you power the phone down then hold the vol - button does it boot into bootloader?
if so make sure you have the htc fastboot drivers installed from htc sync
if your on a windows machine from command prompt navigate to the platform-tools folder
for example
mine is in C:/users/ray/downloads/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64/sdk/platform-tools
in command prompt issue the command
fastboot oem lock
once the bootloader is re-locked
issue the command
fastboot oem rebootRUU
the phone should reboot into a black screen with greenish htc letters
find the setup.exe file from the ruu file and run it.
if all goes well you should be back to stock with a locked bootloader.
good luck

Let this thread be a lesson that 1) don't mess with your phone if you don't know what you're doing and 2) don't flash a GSM ROM on your Sprint phone because it wipes your boot and recovery partition (on GSM phones, it wipes data and system but sprints partitions are different).

Failing after making a bunch of random attempts to do something doesn't constitute learning. Next time you should make sure you actually understand what it is that you are trying to do before you do it, and maybe then you won't end up almost completely wiping your phone clean.
You're lucky that the international One's and Sprint Ones partitions aren't like the Sprint/international S3, or else you would've overrided your bootloader as well and had a brick on your hands.
First and foremost.
I'm not to be held responsible for possible bricking of your device. You do this at your own risk and my only warranty is that it worked for me when I did it. If it didn't for you, I'm sorry.
With that out of the way, this is a modified script and method I found on the International forum. Thanks to chrisch1974 for the initial guide. I needed to make changes to a couple things to get it working for us, I'm usually pretty uneasy about messing with BOOTLOADER stuff, but, I really wanted to change my splashscreen, dammit! So I pretended I was a lab rat and took one for the team.
Requirments:
S-OFF (alternatively, Revone, which is what I used.)
EZ Splash Screen Flasher and Image Converter (click link and download, might want to read a little about how to use it as well, it's not hard, but still.)
splash.zip provided at button of post.
ADB
Preparing the image for flashing:
Find a picture you want to use, any picture just as long as it's 1080x1920 and either BMP, PNG, or JPG as EZ Splash Flasher won't convert anything else.
Start EZ Splash Flasher by double-clicking CLICK-HERE.bat, make sure you put your image in the "place-image-here" folder and convert it. Depending on the format, make sure to follow the instructions in the script as it will tell you which option to choose. Once it's done, rename your converted file, which should be custom.img to splash1.nb0
Download the splash.zip I've provided and replace the splash1.nb0 inside with the one you just renamed.
I've already modifed the android-info.txt file to work on the Sprint variant, even if you recently SuperCID'ed your phone, this will work.
How to flash it:
First things first, we need to get into Bootloader, you can either hold power and Vol- or use adb and this command:
adb reboot bootloader
Next, we need to get into the RUU Flash mode. You'll know you are in it because it's a black screen with the silver HTC logo and that is all:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Now, we are going to flash the file:
fastboot flash zip splash.zip
It will run through a few things and should finish without any errors. On mine, there was a progress bar that popped up on the phone, but it never finished filling up. Yet, the fastboot command finished without errors and put me back into the command prompt.
You are DONE!
Now issue this command to reboot your phone:
fastboot reboot
Enjoy your new splash screen! (if there was no errors, obviously.)
Worked like a charm, thank you!!!
My pleasure! Glad it worked for you.

Credited you in my thread.
I can't get the fastboot oem rebootRUU command to work. I just get a waiting on device message and that's it. My ADB is working because I can use regular reboot and reboot recovery commands. Don't know what I'm missing...

First and foremost.
I'm not to be held responsible for possible bricking of your device. You do this at your own risk and my only warranty is that it worked for me when I did it. If it didn't for you, I'm sorry.
With that out of the way, this is a modified script and method I found on the International forum. Thanks to chrisch1974 for the initial guide. I needed to make changes to a couple things to get it working for us, I'm usually pretty uneasy about messing with BOOTLOADER stuff, but, I really wanted to change my splashscreen, dammit! So I pretended I was a lab rat and took one for the team.
Requirments:
S-OFF (alternatively, Revone, which is what I used.)
EZ Splash Screen Flasher and Image Converter (click link and download, might want to read a little about how to use it as well, it's not hard, but still.)
splash.zip provided at button of post.
ADB
Preparing the image for flashing:
Find a picture you want to use, any picture just as long as it's 1080x1920 and either BMP, PNG, or JPG as EZ Splash Flasher won't convert anything else.
Start EZ Splash Flasher by double-clicking CLICK-HERE.bat, make sure you put your image in the "place-image-here" folder and convert it. Depending on the format, make sure to follow the instructions in the script as it will tell you which option to choose. Once it's done, rename your converted file, which should be custom.img to splash1.nb0
Download the splash.zip I've provided and replace the splash1.nb0 inside with the one you just renamed.
I've already modifed the android-info.txt file to work on the Sprint variant, even if you recently SuperCID'ed your phone, this will work.
How to flash it:
First things first, we need to get into Bootloader, you can either hold power and Vol- or use adb and this command:
adb reboot bootloader
Next, we need to get into the RUU Flash mode. You'll know you are in it because it's a black screen with the silver HTC logo and that is all:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Now, we are going to flash the file:
fastboot flash zip splash.zip
It will run through a few things and should finish without any errors. On mine, there was a progress bar that popped up on the phone, but it never finished filling up. Yet, the fastboot command finished without errors and put me back into the command prompt.
You are DONE!
Now issue this command to reboot your phone:
fastboot reboot
Enjoy your new splash screen! (if there was no errors, obviously.)

after doing this it has my phone stuck in a bootloop? what can i do?
So, while I see that there was a hboot list already posted, but it was not said how it was done. So I decided to work on this and post how..
NOTE: You will need hex edit skills, and knowledge. Bricking your device is your own fault. I take no blame, nor do I feel bad if you cant read.
For SOFF to SON mask
Find S-OFF
Replace the First F with an N and the second with a space.
RED TEXT REMOVAL:
Find the red text that is listed on the screen when booting. You will find it, just ctrl+f. Now replace letters with the space.
DO NOT REPLACE 00 IN HEX. IF YOU SEE 2E YOU DO REPLACE IT WITH 20
REMOVE TAMPERED
Find TAMPERED
overwrite the *** TAMPERED *** with all spaces. DO NOT get anything beyond that scope.
More mods on the way. Starting with the removal of Powered by android from the bottom.
THIS IS FOR SPRINT ONLY!!!
DOWNLOAD
MD5: 665c0b2e7a60e8c698da43a4ae372e21
After checking md5 to flash

Done! Enjoy your hboot. Please note this is just for educational purposes, and I posted the hboot so if your learning you can compare There is another thread, and this is how he did it.

What's the block to set for flashing splashes? Was going to make some splash screen flushables other day, but ignorant to how to find out which block needs to be configured. Assumed I couldn't just use m7 splashes, and may flash to wrong place and Bork stuff haha

If I get time I'll work on fixing the tool. But until then I'm working on some big projects

Very nice write up. :good:
So I have an old m7 splash I would like to use. Would I have to modify the .img file at all or can I just pull the android-info from one of these zips and put it with my .img that was made for the m7?
Need new thread for splash talk brah

There are more up to date masked hboots in Android Dev
Bootloader updates are pretty useless. It's kind of like bios updates really. All of the other firmware stays, but this remains. I don't feel a need to update something that still works is all

On the M8, HBOOT needs to be updated for the newer software versions to even boot.
So in this case, it's like the new OS added a feature that requires a BIOS update. It happens.
But, as was stated, there are newer version out there. You might just want to add a disclaimer that this will only work with 1.xx based ROMs, because once you move up to 2.xx and 3.xx, you'll have issues (like WiFi not working).
I guess you haven't been keeping up with the firmware situation on this device . . .

I'm currently using this hboot with the newest firmware and can use stock and cm just fine, no issue in any regard. Maybe GSM has this issue, but I do not (and I develop for myself, and share with others anyways). Everyone can use whichever one they feel that's the best, but as I said, this works for me and I won't change anything on an unfounded basis for this model.

Not sure how you're managing that, but good for you, I guess. Everyone else has issues with the old HBOOT on the new base ROMs. Since there are other options, I suppose It doesn't matter anyway.

Just proves, Humanity is very susceptible to the placebo effect... How many new things have we bought, just because they're new and therefore better, only to find out we spent a couple hundred dollars on a piece crap.
