Changing splash screen - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings people
I looked for threads to change the htc one's splash screen
Couldn't find anything
Can anyone please point me to how to flash and make splash screens? Or it's not possible until now?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your response sir
I'm sure splash screen. Not boot animation (the bright white still photo with the green htc logo that comes up before the boot animation)
I know how to change it on my Sensation Z710e but thought I would ask to make sure
I don't want to do something I will regret on :-\

Yea now we have S-OFF it should be possible to get rid of the red text in the splash and even make a custom one. Don't know how though

Pony wallpapers! (updated 30/5)

I have been wanting this since I got my phones... we actually had this fixed on the HTC ONE S... someone found the location and made a zip...
I don't dare flash that on this phone, cause I don't think its on the same location.

We have to found the location in the mmcblock, after you can change it...
However, we have to wait

I know it wont be long, theres a lot of smart people in here.... they achieved that with the One S, we just achieved S-Off and it is much easier,

You have to create the custom splash screen from a bitmap image, with a tool that converts .bmp to .img and then enter fastboot and run this command
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash.img
where splash.img the splash screen created
EDIT: attached a ready converted splash screen, anyone please could test it, you have to download and put it in fastboot folder, and run the command
fastboot flash splash1 splash.img
then reboot your device and tell us if it works Of course, you must be S-OFF to do this command
The splash is from droid dna forum, thanks to gitku the creator
this is how it looks

I think it needs eng modified hboot, so I guess it will work for those who S-OFFed with Moonshine method! I don't have my phone yet so I can't test, but I don't think there is a chance of brick, of course I'm not responsible for any damage test at your own risk

If someone knows the partition you could write to it using dd

So if i S-On again via revone method, then S-Off again via Moonshine method it should work?

In example I would do:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 C:\Users\XXX\Documents\android-sdk-windows\tools\nexSpresso.rgb565
or
fastboot flash splash1 nexSpresso.rgb565
Here are a couple of splash screens ready to flash via fastboot.
I will update this OP with newer splash screens as I make them.

I made one (Quick and dirty) But I like it :0)
I am taking requests now so give me some ideas
Can you make one out of the desktop I use? Obviously the width is not right, but if the monkey could be cropped to make the image fit I'd love this.
Edit: I thought I remembered seeing this, but where are the requirements for the splash image file to use? I figured I could make one myself easily, but not sure if there are restrictions on file extension, colors, and what their actual dimensions are...

Font's
I was wondering, where would we get the HTC and Expresso fonts to add to homemade splash screens?
How long should I wait for the command prompt to stop saying <waiting for device>? Should I be doing this from recovery?
You have to be in Hboot. Turn on phone while holding down power and volume down. Then select the fast boot and then flash

Sweet christ, you didn't crop it Thats OK though, found the tool to make my own rgb565 file, I'll handle from here. Thanks for trying
No prob. I was a dumb ass and waited 30 minutes with that screen waiting for it to flash. Didn't find out till I flashed in hboot

Hah, that what I did. Was at work and started a call at 1pm, but ran the fastboot command. My call ended 26 minutes, still waiting for device, and then I saw your reply. What a fail.

[solved] [Q] Stuck on "entering recovery..."

solved.
I had CWM, flashed stock recovery. Booted normal, proceeded with HTC One firmware update (from stock ROM, to stock ROM update).
Now it's on the white HTC screen and on top it just says "entering recovery..." but nothing happens.
Holding power + vol up/down just makes the 2 keys flash - but nothing happens. What can I do?
Code:
D:\DL\android\one\One_M7_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0\Data>adb devices
List of devices attached
FA33CW901790 recovery
Edit: rebooting into recovery using ADB does the same. I can get into bootloader though. Did I flash the wrong stock recovery or something?
Code:
(bootloader) cid: HTC__001
OKAY [ 0.001s]
finished. total time: 0.002sp
Edit2: I flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img and that works.
Hi
Greetings,

Hi, I still had ADB so I flashed another recovery which worked fine. Then I flashed a custom ROM. Cheers,
similar problem
I'm just having a similar problem - my screen is also stuck on the 'entering recovery' stage with an otherwise white screen (with HTC logo).
I already tried using the 'fastboot erase cache' command, which didn't seem to help at all.
Additionally my bootloader screen has a message at the top saying ***TAMPERED***. I don't think this is normal, but I haven't found much info about it online so I don't know what to think of it...hopefully it doesn't mean it's dead!
If anyone can give me any help it'd be awesome.
Cheers!

What do I do to flash another recovery?? Is that just entering boot mode and repeating the process? and what's CWM, how do I get it and what do I do with it?! I really am new to all this stuff so any explanations in words of one syllable would be awesome.
Again, apologies for sounding mildly retarded....
Cheers

maybe I'm slightly less stupid than it seemed..I reflashed with CWM and it worked out fine.

Is your phone running stock or custom recovery? If the bootloader is (re)locked, it can't boot to custom partition so if your phone is locked with a custom recovery, you can't boot to recovery. Thats why you should never relock when custom software is installed.
Can you post your "fastboot getvar all" output please (remove your imei and serialno).

How to flash CWM Unoffical???

Hi,
I downloaded CWM unofficial 6.0.32 from this forum, but I'm new and I have no idea what to do with it. I did successfully root my phone that's all I've done to it.
Thanks!
You use fastboot commands. There's a tutorial skeevy just made in general.

2:checked adb devices from command promt and It sees my device.
3: ran adb and it successfully starts
4: I then rebooted phone into fastboot Power+Volume down and adb reports device not found.

1. :good:

3 :good:
4 You're in fastboot mode....adb won't recognize your phone....that's normal...
5
use the command "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img" from inside the folder with cwm.img. Or move the fastboot executable and the recovery image to C:\ and do it from there...Win can crap out when/if there are too many characters in the path...
Also, right click the fastboot executable and set it to run as admin. Might have to disable UAC as well....don't ask me how, I don't know...google it.
//I'm cereal, ya had to rename the SBF because in the home directory the path + sbf name would be too many characters for Win to work with and the flash would fail....
No idea, but here's what I did to install cwm. download safestrap apk, boot to safestrap recovery, hit fix permission, go back to cmd prompt, fastboot flash it,
edit: try enabling "usb developer/debugging mode" before booting it into fastboot?

You might have a picky motherboard. Some front-side ubs ports won't work for some odd reason for some users. Use a usb port on the back of your pc.
Out of curiousity, did you try flashing a fastboot with rsd before you started doing this? And if yes, did it finish completely?
Also attached is a zip to flash CWM from SSR (maybe...SSR might block the command) and a fastboot modified to only flash CWM. Both are untested but worth a shot.
EDIT: Any one of you windows users care to chime in? Ya'll know I don't run it. I'm kinda runnin outta ideas here....gettin down to the just use linux reply...

[Solved] Phone stuck at bootscreen

Hi folks, I have a strange problem going on with my US T-Mobile HTC One. To start with, it runs ARHD rom and has been running great for the last few months. A couple nights ago, I plugged the phone in and went to bed, when I woke up, the phone was stuck on the booting splash screen. I have no idea how or why it did this, when I plugged it in the night before it was running normally. I haven't installed or done anything to the phone for quite some time as I have it pretty much set-up.
Here's where it gets stuck:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Natrually, I reset it, and tried to get into recovery, but that also fails to load and gets stuck here:
Pretty much the only thing I have access to is fastboot usb, here:
I've tried downloading the stock RUU and installing the exe, but that fails to install as well. Frankly I'm stumped and in desperate need of some assistance.
Thanks,
Evan

go to recovery ...
try to re flash ARHD if you still have rom.zip on your phone...
if not sideload the rom and than flash
that should resolve the problem....
next time make sure you have nondroid backup on TWRP...(or maybe you have if yes use it)
good luck!!!

it overtakes my knowledge, maybe you could try to re-flash your recovery.
Vomer explains how to in Section 3 of his post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506
you should fastboot erase cache again before it get stuck
Thanks for your help, everyone.
A little update. Apparently it was a manufacture defect in the memory, which would explain why I could no longer access anything.
HTC sent me a new phone and I'm good to go, perhaps a little gun shy messing with it, but all is well.

Yeah bro, I did absolutely nothing wrong, the phone was working great and then just died sometime in the night. I spent 3 weeks trying to fix it myself, but nothing was working. I could run a different recovery with fastboot, but it couldn't access anything in the memory. Lucky (or unlucky) for me, this was the manufacture's fault.

Well, i think you can consider yourself pretty lucky, i think if i would contact HTC now, and explain my problem they would never give me a new phone.
Dont even know what the problem is anyway, i've tried fixing my phone now for 7 hours straight and i didnt even get a bit further..

HTC One M7 brick got even worse!

I have posted a thread about bricking my HTC One a few days ago and actually , I got it finally fixed today with the help of SaHiLzZ!
First of all , thanks man for helping me.
Here's the first thread that I have opened if anyone is interested:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52747826
I was finally able to get past the HTC boot logo and use the phone but I also wanted to update the ROM to KitKat 4.4.
I have changed my CID to HTC__001 from HTC__K18 with no effort , however , I failed to change my MID to PN0710000.
I followed this tutorial step by step (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322820) , but when I applied the fastboot oem writemid command , there was an unknown error and when I rebooted the phone I got the exact same screen as this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now , I'm unable to access anything!!! I can't even get to the bootloader or recovery which was possible with the soft brick. The only 2 screens that I am able to get now is the gray screen as in the picture above , or a complete black screen (and the device still stays on).
I'm unable to use any adb commands , but fastboot commands still work. However , I'm unable to flash any RUU , rom , CWM , TWRP , boot...
Is there's anything I can do about it?
Here's an output of the fastboot getvar all:
Anyone have any idea what can I possibly do to fix this?
You are on eng hboot. And your device is responding in ruu mode. Run the ruu as long as your fastboot is working.

I tried it , I used the RUU that fixed the soft brick but it didn't work this time.
It can't get past the bootloader stage because it tries to access the bootloader but with no success.

It got worse but I was finally able to change my MID and fix it. After that I reinstalled RUU 1.29.401.2 (I tried to install anything newer but nothing worked , only this one).
I can use my device regullary now.
I have supercid , mid PN0710000 and JB 4.1.2 on my device.
But the problem now is that I'm unable to update the device using any newer RUU (that match the new mid of my device).
I also don't have superuser or working recovery , when I try to flash recovery , I get this error:
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (8758 KB)...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.011s
I've tried to flash a few different recoveries but I get this same Unknown error everytime.
How is it possible for me to update from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2/4.4 if I get this same error every time and with no superuser access when every .exe RUU install fails too?

Can you
1- post an updated "fastboot getvar all" (copy/paste would be better than screenshot),
2- a screenshot of your bootloader screen
3- what recovery are you flashing above? have you checked MD5, cause the filesize looks a bit small,
4- try using a different USB port / PC.

Thank you mate! I tried using a different USB port and it actually worked!
Although I have no idea why should it work but haha it doesn't matter to me.
I have recovery and superuser as well now but I'm still stuck in JB 4.1.2.
I've tried flashing One_4.19.401.11_odexed.zip through recovery and it failed , then I got a mini brick and the phone didn't turn off no matter what I did for a few hours.
Then I see this craziest fix ever , I stuck it in front of a lightbub while holding power + Vol down for about 15 seconds and it worked! lol!
I'm now able to use it , but can't update it in any possible way.
I tried using an .exe RUU of KK4.4 but it didn't work as well (and it was compatible with my mid + cid).
Any idea what can I do to update my device to 4.4.2/4.4 from 4.1.2? I have access now to everything , the android , recovery , supersu , adb ,fastboot..
Thank you!

Those 4.4 RUUs are very "sensitive", no idea why sometimes they work, and other times give people a hard time (could be anything OS, antivirus, bad download, USB port, etc)
Why didnt you just take the OTAs to 4.4, before installing custom recovery and root? just reflash the 1.28.401.7 ruu.zip, and take OTAs to 4.4.2 then install custom recovery and root
with S-Off, you can keep bootloader unlocked, no need to relock it or anything; as mentioned in the "Not so FAQ #2" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52135024&postcount=2
