I have searched high and low for the answer to this question...sorry if my search criteria sucked.
I have unlocked, rooted, and flashed nameless on my HTC Desire C. I have also flashed the HTC Desire C Customiser
at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048217 and changed the splash screen and boot animation.
But I want to change the splash screen to my own.
I have attempted the general HTC Desire instructions with no joy.
Since the customizer does it, I know it can be done. Any pointers on manual steps for the desire C?
Thanks in advance,

And so it did. Just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073228
So thats it for the animation. I will give it a try.
The splash screen at boot is still open. Anyone?
You can't change the splash screen without full s-off mate

I think by splash screen, he means the boot animation am I correct?

Thanks. Is there a method to s-off the HTC Desire C? Is see methods for the "HTC Desire" using revolutionary but nothing specifc to the C.
And how did "HTC Desire C Customiser" change both splash screen and boot animation.
Thanks for your response.

Customiser doesn't change the splash screen. If you are referring to the red developer text that appears in the htc splash screen , then its because you flashed an insecure boot.img to get root benefits

They are in fact separate things. The slash screen being the picture that appears when the device is first turned on, then the boot animation follows.

Just to elaborate, Splash screen is the green HTC logo over a white background, on an unlocked bootloader it also features the red text stating that you are in a development build, and of course the boot animation is whatever you set it to be by modifying the file in your customize folder.
And like stated above the splash screen cannot be modified on our device, as we do not have S-OFF and from what I can tell, we won't be getting S-OFF anytime in the near future, however the boot animation can be modified once you have root.

Ahhhhhhh......
So is it normal (in the HTC Desire C case) to flash an insecure boot.img? Is this the only way or is there a better way?
So far, I need:
1. To learn how to s-off the HTC Desire C and...
2. Learn how to change whatever files on the device (/system/customize/resources?) the manipulate the splash screen and boot animation.
Thanks

Yes it is normal to flash an insecure boot.img. Currently thats the only way to obtain root for the device. The red text can be easily wiped out once you return back to your stock rom through a ruu.
1. Currently there is no way to s-off Desire C . We dont have enough experienced devs to achieve s-off yet
2.You can easily edit boot animation by changing /system/customize/resources/hTC_bootup.zip with a boot animation of your choosing( but it should be of 320x480 resolution). And since we dont have s-off yet you can edit the splash screen in any way.

I do not see the HTC splash screen with Red Text. I have to investigate this further but the customizer appears to replace it.

The customizer won't replace the splash screen, only the boot animation. If you don't see the red text on your spash screen (White screen with Green HTC Logo) then you must still be on a locked bootloader.

My bootloader clearly indicates "*** UNLOCKED ***".
What I have learned is that there is no splash screen being used. There is a custom boot animation with a part0 directory that makes it appear as a splash screen. In this case its a single image that appears for a longer period and then the part1 directory has a normal animation.
Its not clear to me what happened to the splash screen?
By using "adb push hTC_bootup.zip /system/customize/resource" I can change the bootanimation.
adb shell sysrw
adb push hTC_bootup.zip /system/customize/resource
adb sync
adb sysro
ok, new observation.
Sometimes when I reboot the phone I _do_ see the HTC splash screen with the warning red text.
Sometimes I don't. I am not sure what the sequence is which causes the splash screen to appear....or not.
So I have a boot animation and a boot mp3.
Thanks for all comments.
Requirements for S-OFF
Supercid 1111111 but it not works
mmcblk0p7 is not writable.
So no S-off, in wildfire s you could obtain soff with XTC clip hardware, but it doesnt support newer devices from one series and newer device 2013 up.
Whats s-off features:
-Changeable custom image splashscreens
-kernel can be flashed in recovery
-custom partition sizes can be created in phone internal memory
-radio, hboot flashable
-system partitions flashable and can make supercid 1111111 so you can flash any RUU
-Can flash extracted rom.zip from RUU renamed to PJ****.zip in fastboot
-and some things I don't know

So if I remove the battery, reinsert it, and restart - I see the white HTC Splash screen with RED warning text.
If I update something one the system and restart- I see the white HTC Splash screen with RED warning text.
Any other time, if I power down, and then power up. I do not see the HTC Splash screen.
Turn off fastboot mode in settings>power
This will completely turn phone off.

I see the difference that fastboot makes. Fastboot behaves more like "hibernation" as described in some forums.
When started again no BOOT_COMPLETED etc. will be sent, instead applications will be 'resumed'.
When fastboot is enable no splashscreen is displayed at boot - only the bootanimation. If fastboot is disabled the splashscreen is displayed.
Wish I could replace the annoying red text splashscreen.
in my observation, the red text isn't part of the splash screen image. because when I cold boot, first there is the normal (without red text) splash screen, then a few miliseconds later the text jumps in. Could it be that this is just a certain file in the splash screen directory or maybe something that goes even deeper?
Basically I had my phone rooted, this led to me being stuck in a boot loop. After this i thought i had fixed the problem, i then went onto un-rooting my phone, removing all the files and restoring to its original condition, since then it began to be in boot loop after it turned off, im no longer in boot loop however i am stuck on the recovery mode screen. I have tried to flash this device with different os's but none have been successful, if anyone understands anything of what i just said please would you help me and i would be very very appreciative! Thanks Joe:laugh:
You'll need to give more precise info:

Why? Any error codes? Phone stuck at HTC logo?
After disabling/freezing the HTC Blinkfeed my phone has not opened the Launcher. Right after I disabled it i tried to go to home and got a black screen, I tried to restart the phone and now it is stuck on the Boot Logo. I Am rooted and I was wondering If i can just flash the htc blinkfeed apk through recovery to fix this...
Thanks

Are you S-OFF? If so and you can flash things with recovery (As you stated) then you can try it, no guarantees it will work but if thats really all you did then it should. Here is a link to a thread with the download link and also here is the flashable zip the thread contains just incase you don't want to look through it.
Hello everyone, I'm kinda new to android and I just bought an M7. To my bad luck the device was rooted so I did a reset from the boot menu now whenever I boot the device, it boots but when I unlock it, it juat shows the HTC logo with white background, no home screen no app drawer, volume and lock buttons work. Recover is TWRP, S-off and 4.4.2.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

can you post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove imei and serialno before posting)
Also what version of twrp recovery is installed on the phone?
Any idea if the phone was running the stock rom or a custom rom? If it was a custom rom, do you know what version?
When you said you have performed a reset from the boot menu, you mean you have made a factory reset from the bootloader (where the background is white and you have to use vol up and down to select "factory reset") or you have wiped from TWRP?
Do you prefer the phone to be 100% stock rom like if it was new or you are ok using custom roms?
Waiting for you answers, don't worry it should be pretty easy to fix.
I would like to have Cyanogenmod on the device but for now it isn't mine so I'd like to leave it stock, the twrp is 2.8. I can't post anything from the device right now and the boot screen issue is fixed I only needed it to wait until it showed the first time setup. Only what I need now is a way to unroot it.

mendling with the system partition is very dangerous, even a spelling mistake can hard brick your phone.
If thats the case, you will have to buy a new phone
does that problem appears in older version? kitkat or jelly bean?
