There's a tool called ez splash flasher or something, in the mytouch 4g forums iirc, but you need a 480*800 picture
Or there are some that you can just download and flash using pg32img method in themes and apps

Basically you need a tool to convert an image (BMP) into a specific format (NBIMG) which can be loaded by fastboot to flash into your phone.
You should update your radio too, while you're at it.

Lets starts with a few Question about this unofficial Sprint Release...
I download the RUU Update, but....
Wallpaper Live are not working...
Bluetooth cannot send or recibe...
Any suggetions?
There are no live wallpapers in the release. It's unlikely that Sprint will ever include them.
The BT problem has been discussed in the dev forum but there isn't a fix as of yet. I certainly hope this isn't the official release.

bad idea if you run the new ruu you could lose the ability to use internet and mms if it doesn't have your apn settings in it. And since there is no way to root 2.1 unless you know how to make an exe and an hboot file. You could be screwed till the official release.

Your probably right and I'll tell you why sprint makes money if we don't have those things. Also if you look at the samsungs update (which the samsung has a better processor than ours) it doesn't have them.

That makes no sense..... you need a custom recovery to flash update.zips. If you try to boot into recovery you'll get the exclamation point.

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

That's a great find and good little zip/guide to get it set up.
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.

HTC One
Sprint
HBOOT 1.55
S [ON]
OS 3.04.651.2
Problem: Friend thought it would be cool to put Android Revolution HD on my HTC One since he did it on his and wanted to surprise me with it...
Long story short he did, and now I have a soft bricked device. I've tried pushing a stock and a custom ROM through ADB sideload and I end up with a phone that acts like it is going to work, gets to the lock screen and freezes. It has no service but that's irrelevant because I can't even get past the lock screen. I can however use my volume key to raise and lower volume.
Can anyone get me past this or am I screwed till a new RUU comes out/way to get S [OFF] after hitting 1.55?

Thanks so much for the reply, I'll give it a shot. I'm desperate right now willing to try anything.
Also forgot to mention the boot animation does fine, the phone acts like it's going to work fine then it just plain freezes where it would normally give you the "sign into google account" and name your phone. So I'm not sure what's missing if anything, if anyone has solved this and is willing to help I would greatly appreciate it.

Yeah, exactly. Is there any way I can go about fixing that? I'm checking out that guys thread, and it sounds promising... but I can't figure out how to get my drive to sync with my PC to transfer it to TWRP to install it. I'm going to try to ADB it but I doubt that will work. Starting to lose hope at the moment lol but trying to stay optimistic.

Only way to fix the partitions is to run an RUU which we don't have.
Is your phone seen by your PC when it's plugged in and booted to the rom? I know it doesn't boot correctly but maybe you can move the file to your phone.
You could also try adb push nameoffile.zip /sdcard/ most likely won't work because of the partitions
Format with TWRP first to get partitions clean, then adb push Rom/sideload

I'm pretty sure the radio partition get overwritten as well so I would say format sd in twrp, flash a radio in fastboot then sideload your Rom and flash it

Thanks for the replies guys, going to try that now. It feels like entire ROM would work fine and there was just "something missing" from my phone. It may very well be a radio. I know something got wiped that shouldn't have because I had to do partition reset due to... well I'm sure you know. Also had to side load TWRP. Learning experience for me, not frustrated at least I'm getting knowledge to help others with it if I can solve it on my own.
Okay so, reporting back that FIXED my no service issue, and it's bringing up updates in the notification bar, only problem is I can't use the touch interface. I don't think my phone is broken, I think it just lacks everything that makes it a smartphone.
Anyone have an idea as to what I can flash to get it back up and running? It feels like it's missing touch interface, and whatever is needed to initiate the "factory" setup screens. Shouldn't the ROM include all of that? I put Viper ROM 1 on there. Progress was made, but it's missing something lol.
The radio also stopped it from resetting and turning itself off after 30 seconds like it was doing previously. Is there a flash-able touch interface I can throw on it? Heh...
Also noticed after it was plugged in for a couple of minutes it's detected by my PC now so I don't need to side-load anymore. Not that it was hard to, just a step forward I think. Just need to figure out what's missing from the boot screen and what I need to put on it to be able to use the touch screen. Any ideas?

Of course there are tons of boot animations available.
Here Im putting the mtz file containing Custom MIUI boot screen.
I am NOT talking about boot animation. I am talking about the MI logo at the beginning, with the "powered by" screen
there is a partition called imagefv which can be extracted from the phone or either from a ROM, in it there's all the images from the bootloader(charging animation, locked bl start, unlocked bl start), however the partition appears to be signed with a certificate, so someone who doesn't use their phone as main would need to try it
Well, definitely not me but thanks for that discovery.
