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:

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?
I have a bootloader unlocked Moto X and I've flashed a custom splash screen to my device. However, I'd like to reset the splash screen so it updates so it'll match the seasonal boot animation (currently the spring animation has a green moto logo). Does anyone know the command to wipe the custom splash screen and return to the default/seasonal one?
Thanks!
Browse through the themes and apps section, I'm sure its posted there.
When the phone starts up, you first see the static bootlogo (default is the Moto "M")... after that you see the boot animation. So what do you mean by "splash screen"?
If you have never unlocked the bootloader, the bootlogo is the CLOGO.BMP. If you have an Unlocked bootloader, or you've unlocked/relocked your bootloader, its the LOGO.BIN file.
The Motorola Boot Services app replaces the the bootloogo via replacing the CLOGO.BMP, and switches out the boot animation file on its internal schedule depending on location. You won't see the CLOGO.BMP switch if your bootloader is unlocked (because you'll be using the LOGO.BIN instead), but you will see the boot animation switch just fine.
So if you have an unlocked bootloader and want to replace the boot logo, you'll have to manually flash the logo.bin via mfastboot. See -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/moto-x-boot-logos-t2417961 and start around post #140 and post #150 of that thread for info on making your own, as well as a ZIP containing some premade/converted (including the Spring, Fall and Winter from Moto Boot Services, and the defaults), and there is some good discussion later in that thread (starting around post #300).

Right, by splash screen I meant the boot logo. For some reason my boot logo is still the default Moto X logo, rather than the seasonal one, even though the bootanimation is the spring animation. I wondered why the Motorola Boot Services didn't overwrite the old one with the seasonal logo. I'll keep trying to figure it out.

Because. As I said.. since you have an unlocked bootloader, your phone uses the LOGO.BIN for the boot logo... BUT Moto Boot Services only replaces the CLOGO.BMP which is the boot logo for LOCKED bootloaders along with changing the boot animation (which is the same for locked and unlocked).
Moto Boot services does not touch Logo.bin. So if you have an unlocked or relocked bootloader, you have to flash logo.bin with mFastboot yourself if you want to change the boot logo.
I've converted the Moto Boot Services CLOGO.BMP files for stock, winter, spring and fall to Logo.bin's, and they in the ZIP attached to post #150 of that other thread.

Yup! I've used those and they look really nice, it's just too bad that I'll have to flash them on my own rather than have the app do it automatically. It's kind of an inconvenience. Oh well, small price to pay.
I just got my OnePlus Two phone. I want to change boot logo of the device
I have already changed the bootanimation to my liking. But i want to change the image the comes before that.
After looking around the XDA Forum, I tried to find the logo.bin on my device, but i could not find it.
The device is running STOCK OXYGEN OS. I just updated the bootanimation.zip
The devices is root and bootloader unlcoked. I have also installed TWRP
I'd like to know how to do this too. Something like this would be awesome http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/tool-change-splash-screen-various-t3000218
Hi guys, I bought a used 5a and am seeing a snapdragon logo (red/white circle) flash briefly at boot up right before the normal Google G splash screen and was wondering if this was normal for the 5a.
I have already tried flashing the lastest OTA (zip via ADB) and kernel (boot img) via fastboot after unlocking the bootloader just in case. I am worried about any potential malware and want the phone as factory stock as possible.
I saw some phone can be done through upload mod or file. this warning really annoying . is some pro pal can give a way and howto guide to achive this on P7 or P7 pro？
thanks a lot!!

The warning can't be removed but you might be able to mask it with a logo file or animation (see this). Or just skip the delay by double-pressing the power button when the warning appears.

Your linked program will NOT affect this, since all it is is a custom boot animation. Boot animation comes LATER in the boot process.

You're right, come to think of it. When I used that app on an old phone in place of an uglier animation, it was a custom logo.bin that covered the bootloader warning.
