[How To] Enable Custom Boot Sounds

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/

Good work! There's been an "enable_bootsound.zip" flashable in the folder I have linked in my bootanimation thread for the last month or so, only a few people found it though

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

Return To Stock Guide :)

WIP Guide Up But Missing Pictures... When I Find Time I Will Do This For You
Im aware this is the guide set out by someone else.... I dont claim it as my own but i want to help people who are not sure about the android environment
Please note this will be for Unbranded Devices Only.
If you bought an O2 Desire C, Your ****ta Outta Luck My Friend...
RELOCKING BOOTLOADER
First thing you need to do is download the stock ROM (also known as a RUU for you newbs out there ) here.
Just realized there's the new RUU in a post here in this forum! If you want the newer RUU (2.0) get it here
Download from the first post
Once you've got that .exe, run the wizard until you get to the first screen. Now you need to find the temporary folder that it just extracted all its files into... open My Computer and at the top of the screen, in the navigation bar, type %temp%. There's probably a whole bunch of stuff, but look for two folders that have really long, messy (encrypted) names. One of them will have ROM.zip in it.
EDIT: If you have Nameless installed, or you used superboot, then go into the apps on your phone and select "SuperSU" and go into the menu. Look for the "Cleanup for full unroot" option and run that first. This should help with any problems.
Open this ROM.zip with WinRAR and extract recovery.img to C:\Android
IF IT ASKS YOU TO OVERWRITE because you have your CWM recovery file in there still, make sure you copy THAT one somewhere else so you don't have to re-download it if you later want to re-install this recovery.
Open up command (cmd) and dir to your C:\Android
Type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once this is done, go back to the wizard you still have open and let it finish. If you're having any problems with the above steps simply post in this thread or email me, my address is above somewhere.
After THAT is done, open cmd back up and type in fastboot oem lock
NOTE: After you're done these steps, your bootloader will say ***RELOCKED*** it is impossible to get it back to ***LOCKED*** once you've unlocked the bootloader.

That is awesome, I have a Nexus 4 on the way to replace my Desire C and want to return it to stock
Looking foward to your guide.

Hello,
Links to RUU are dead :crying:

One quick correction, You have to relock the bootloader with fastboot oem lock BEFORE you try to reinstall, or the update will fail with FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail) in log.

So there's an OTA out there (19.8MB, nothing big), but when it rebooted to update, it got stuck in CWM and I couldn't flash it there. I intended to pull the zip so we could make it flashable (and by "we", I mean someone more skilled than I), but I don't see it on the phone when it's plugged in, and when I check Software Update again, it says no update is available.
I'm well aware that flashing the OTA will likely kill root for me, but at this point, I don't really care. I'm hoping this OTA fixes the few bugs I'm having with the phone, and that's more than worth losing root over for me.
EDIT:

The DL is working again.:good:

Well, I'm no noob when it comes to working with HTC devices as I successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted my One X with no problems back in the day. However, I'm running into a problem with the HTC First. I have unlocked the bootloader, and I am attempting to use the Toolkit to install a custom recovery. Unfortunately, when I try to do so, it gives me the following text:
'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\First_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0\data>
After that it just hangs there and doesn't do anything. I'm not quite sure why it's doing that, nor do I understand why it's trying to access a non-existent folder in C:\
Any insight would be much appreciated.

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....

It wasn't the extras that messed it up. It was the fact you were using an AIO that isn't for your device. That's a big no no.

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.

Attention 1: This is NOT for the regular HTC One M8.
Attention 2: This is for the HTC One M8S also known as the M8_QL_UL
(The One M8S does not have a separate subforum on XDA.)
Hi everyone! I saw that many people who have a HTC One M8S have problems with restoring the stock HTC RUU. It is a little bit difficult. So here I'll supply you again with steps that worked for me.
Most of this is a copy from a post I made earlier. But I saw that many of you still have some problems. So here is a dedicated thread.
I have used this method multiple times to restore my phone back to factory defaults. I hope it works for you too!
Warning. You will lose your settings. Everything will be reset to the defaults.
Read these important notes before you begin!
When you need fastboot: only HTC's own fastboot program will work. You will use fastboot, for example, when you want to flash a custom recovery.
Other fastboot applications will not work correctly in my experience! So be sure you use HTC's.
If you need it: HTC will send you a link when you unlock your bootloader. But you can also find fastboot via the same page as where you can find the RUUs.... see below.
Do you have an SDCard ready? You must have one to get this to work and it must be big enough. ADB sideload will NOT work!
Is your phone relocked? It must be! If not, relock it, then come back.
Most of the problems happen because people read too fast. This stuff just takes a long time.. so don't do it if you are in a hurry. And do read carefully.
Are you ready? Ok! Here we go.
Download the RUU zip you want to use. I have used ...HTC_Europe_1.16... BUT later I found this did not allow the newest OTA update (as of august 30th, 2015). Maybe I will test 1.11 some day later.
However, I think that 1.11 is the right version. Not sure where to download the RUU or fastboot? Click the button.
For me, I downloaded the RUU zip via the generous hosting by @El-Conkistador. You can find it via his post here. On his page there is a directory called Firmware (Expert). In there is a directory called Firmware Crypted (Original HTC). In that directory are multiple directories containing RUUs. Choose one for your device, download it, then come back here.
Open your sdcard. It must be fat32 or exFAT formatted.
Copy the RUU zip file onto the root of the sdcard. Do NOT extract it. Just copy it.
You must now rename it to: 0PKVIMG.zip. The first character is the number 0 (zero), not the letter O!
If you know how to do this, take the md5sum from the RUU zip on your computer, and 0PKVIMG.zip on your SDcard. They must be the same! If not, there can be a problem with your SDCard.
Safely unload and remove the SDCard from your computer.
Power off your phone.
Are you sure you want to continue? Then insert the SDCard into the phone..
Take a deep breath..
Boot the phone to the bootloader: hold Volume Down. Press the power button. Release both buttons when you are inside the bootloader.
When you are in the bootloader, press power once to enter fastboot mode.
The restoration process should will now start. Confirm on the screen when it's asked. Then wait patiently, it takes a long time!
Nice detail: there is a small sidebar at the top right side of the screen that will show you progress. Sometimes it will go back to 0; it will fill up more than once.
In case of failure
In my case it failed the first time. Probably because a sector on my SDCard was faulty. I found out by verifying the md5sum of the file on the sdcard, it was not the same as the RUU zip on my computer, but it has to be.
To fix it, I copied the RUU zip to the sdcard for the second time, *then* deleted 0PKVIMG.img, and *then* renamed the RUU zip to 0PKVIMG.zip. Then I looked at the md5sum again. Now it was the same as on my computer... and then the restoration worked.
Still need help?
If you have questions, ask and wait patiently. I am not on this page 24/7, no one is. Just don't panic. Don't demand help. Maybe read this stuff again and see if you made a mistake somewhere.
It is logical that you are annoyed if this stuff doesn't go how you want, sure, it is not the easiest thing to do. I have tried to make it easier, but again, if it still fails, just ask your questions and wait patiently. Treat others like how you want to be treated yourself. :angel:
Good luck!

The exact filename of the RUU I used:
Code:
0PKVIM[email protected]50311_15.00_016_F_release_430101_signed.zip
Do you see a few green lines that say "searching for 0pkvimg.zip" when you go to hboot? They disappear pretty quickly.

Is it a fat32 or exfat sdcard? Is the md5sum for 0pkvimg.zip correct? It should be 70eece34781f0b1449f98f03e842f249

i checked and it is fat32 and i still don't get where the md5sum is located and where i should put it .-.

the md5sum is a long string of characters called a checksum. It scans a file and calculates what number it should get. Other types of checksums are SHA-1, SHA-256, RIPE-MD160 and so on.
MD5 is fairly lightweight so that's why we usually choose md5 for files.
md5sum itself is a program that you can run from the command line. If you use linux, it should be on your computer already, so just do 'md5sum 0pkvimg.zip'. On windows, well, you need md5sum.exe and run that from a command line. But I have not used Windows in so many years that I don't know where to find md5sum.exe. I'm sure you can find it easily... I would google for this, but you can do that too so I'll leave that part up to you.
So: you don't put the md5sum anywhere.. you calculate an md5sum and compare it with the number I gave you previously. Hope this makes sense, keep asking if you need more help.

Hi guys,
Im new to all this I just want to ask for little help here my m8s has unlocked bootloader and modified (unofficial) software (says in bootloader)
Im running 5.0.2 soft ver
Soft number 1.16.401.10
Custom recovery TWRP
Phone is rooted but i need to send it back to htc as its dropping calls randomly within 25secs. All i need is the right ruu so its stock again and says relocked (i know how to relock) official soft and that OTAs would work.
Also do i leave this custom recovery there or before the ruu will i put in the stock one, relock the BL and then the ruu?
Any help is much appreciated.

Just relock. The Ruu does the rest! I used 1.11, the exact filename is in my OP. If you have a vendor phone I'm not sure but I think you can still use the same RUU as I have; if not, you will be notified from hboot. Does that answer your question?

Yes thank you.

Tried on windows twice then got a blue screen (on the pc) did the 1.11 on my macbook and phone is now back to official and relocked!
I owe you a pint of beer sir. Thank you!

Great! Glad to hear.

Cyanogenmod is still in the works. I have finally gotten a preliminary version to boot, so to those of you who are interested, head over to the CyanogenMod 12 on M8s thread...

Hiya. Ugh I get how frustrating this can be!! But you're close, so we'll get you sorted out. FYI on saturday and sunday I'm not around much (family comes first ), so replies might take me a while... but we'll figure it out.
You need this exact file:
Code:
0PKVIM[email protected]50311_15.00_016_F_release_430101_signed.zip
Copy that to the sdcard and rename it to 0PVKIMG.zip, don't extract it just rename it. The md5sum should be:
Code:
70eece34781f0b1449f98f03e842f249
If that won't work, we need to figure out why. That comes next. :good:

You should use Cyanogenmod, not Pandora. Pandora is old, is not updated, and contains a very problematic security issue with libstagefright. Use cyanogenmod for your own good!
