I have adb installed on my computer. I have been playing with being able to do everything in hboot and recovery that way in case you have a phone with a broken screen or bad touch screen

Did u get the driver through installing sdk? Cause that's my task for tonight when I get out of here ... ran in to this when I started playing with Boot animations

It installed a bunch of stuff when it installed sdk. Not sure if it installed another driver or not.
 
thereeeee is MR. ED. I was wondering when you would chime in .. We were just wondering why the tool did not push boot his splash being that his hboot V is 93...and he has the correct drivers he could not fast boot it originally cause he for got to rename it splash1.img...... Easy fixens .. lol..... but,,,,,,,,, the tool is supposed to push it for you...( provided hboot version) . Not sure if you know but this is not the same tool that you originally posted up that has the "extract every thing to your desktop problem" it was a different one I found that created the ".IMG" file for you. I say that cause I'm not sure the hboot version rule of thumb applies to this tool also ... but any wayyyyyyyy
 
I am run into a problem. I believe I've got adb drivers installed however when I did the setup process it was a little bit different currently when I plug in it says composite adb interface, is that right is that what it should be? . The reason I ask is when trying to push through command line. The whole process works so I think adb is working correctly however. Every thing goes through with no errors.. I put in adb shell reboot. My phone reboots but the boot animation is still the same.
 
ok I'm on a role figured out adb and can now push a file.. on to figuring out how to make custom boot animations...... I cant stop......woo hooo
 
Yeah..I find it way easier to copy paste and it allows me to swap em out when away from a pc. Anything else I would use adb for I use term emu for
 
ya i just watched a video on that.... did not know there were better file managers. that allow you to just over right the current boot animation. I have astro and you can not move folders like I saw in this video where he used root explorer. thinking bout up grading

OK got my image ready to go with modifications and having problems with the tool. I tried opening up the one that says open and press any key and its doesnt do anything once I do. Than tried to put the image file into the Nbing to convert it which supposedly that how the directions said at XDA. And I would rather just do this by copy and paste on root explorer so much easier. I just started doing Boot animations and this is even more difficult. Let me know where I can get the image properly comverted like the tool. And I have stock sense so I know I have to go into System/custimize/resource. But there is no splash image at all which doesnt make any sense so If you know where I have to drop it in using Root explorer that would be great.

And if I do drop it in there just like with animations would that mean I dont have to do the boot sequence with the volume down and than have the phone ask if If I want to load the new splash.

You can't use the tool with your hboot can you? Any how I flash it with a pc36img or from terminal

If you are making a splash screen u do not put the file in any folder u put it as a pc36 file to be updated in hboot. Did u convert your image yet with the tool.
 
Ok then take this file (and right now it should be named splash.img ).. rename it splash1.img. send it along with the Text file and 7zip or compress file them to a ziped file . ( if u are running vista multi select them and then right click and scroll to compresed file. Then take the ziped file it created and rename it pc36img.zip ( do not name it zip zip) and drop it on the.root of your SD card
 
Then go to hboot ( by now u know how) and when it runs its process it should find the file and ask u if u want to update. SELECT YES... THERE U GO

Ok sounds easy but the file not named splash1.img yet is that an issue. And Iam I suppose to write anything in the tex file. It stillbjust bmp

And something else that Iam dealling with the Animations. When you have to numerically number then 0001 is there way to number than in the right order at once because Iam having to go one by one.
 
yeah to run the bat it has to get a bmp named splash.img out put is splash1...EDIT: Actually its case sensitive, use caps

file should read
modelid: PC3610000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 3.26.651.6
hbootpreupdate: 3
DelCache: 0
DelUserData: 0
