Root Power up in Hboot?

How do I power up in bootloader, not recovery? I want to flash a splash screen. I used to have that option in the power menu in my HTC. Is there a way to put it in my Spectrum (CM 10.1) power menu?

No. The spectrum can't boot into hboot. I'm working on a different splash screen for the ics kernel but it will be a little bit.

Yes, even with an unlocked bootloader. I've tried every method I know and it won't go in to fastboot mode. If you want, you can send me a pm with a link to the splash image you would like and I'll see what I can do with it.
 
Boot annimations are easy to change...I have done this on my spectrum several times and in userspace. Not needed to do in bootloader.

I use Absolute System Root Tools and there are several that you can download and adapt to run on the spectrum. Basically, it downloads the files needed, lets you configure the desc txt and replaces what annimation the bootloader runs. If you already have one, I bet you could probably use ASRT to use it...just not 100% sure.

I just drop my boot animation in the system/media folder but there is no way to change the splash screen without powering up in bootloader which we can't.

You can change the splash screen by unpacking the boot.img, changing it in the ramdisk and then repacking the boot.img. The image has to be formatted a certain way and I'm going to try it tonight. If I don't get to it, it'll probably be tomorrow.

The splash screen is inside the ramdisk image of your kernel. If you want to edit it, that is where you need to look, but you'll need to convert it to RLE format.
