Root [Tool] Web Converter Creates EVO 4G LTE Splash Zip

[Rxpert83]

This is NOT mine. Posted by krelvinaz on XDA

Update 8/6---You need either S-OFF of the original unlocked bootloader for this to work. H-boot 1.15 and above have restrictions that will NOT allow this to work.

Sweet little tool I saw that will take any properly sized png, jpg, or gif image and create a flashable zip to make it a splash screen.

Remember, we need (720X1280)

Nice! And I was just about to make my own the long way.

Will this work with TWRP 2.2.1 and MeanROM 2.7 ?? I know this is a noob question but thanks!

I should mention i'm on S-ON because i just rooted today and installed the sprint OTA update...not much of a choice for rooting >.<

Yep, if you're rooted and you have TWRP this will indeed work.

Cool, wasn't sure. Thanks!

Pretty cool. A lot of neat one's have been made.

So I'm pretty sure you need to have S-OFF for this to work. That or I did something wrong... Which is totally possible since I'm very new to this. When I reboot, I still get the same standard HTC developers screen that shows up first and then the Meanrom blue android guy and such. I guess I'll have to wait till the S-OFF exploit is found for the newest hboot version.

You need either S-OFF or the old unlocked bootloader. This was written before the new bootloader was available.


This is just another restriction the new bootloader placed on you. Just remember, never accept an OTA

Doesn't installing a custom recovery require bootloader to be unlocked? If this is so, then if someone has TWRP they should be able to flash these. I may be wrong about that though.

 

[Rxpert83]

The newest hboot has restrictions that can't be used

RXpert is correct. You need to be S-off this writes to the boot secter (mmcblk0p14) If you are unable to write to this block then you cannot use the flash in a recovery the only thing you may be able to try is to set root with adb and then fastboot flash it over to the phone.

so try to extract the splash.img file from the zip and then run this command for fastboot with adb:

adb root
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

You must be able to access Hboot on your phone and then fastboot in order for it to work. I only use the zips in testing other than that I prefer the fastboot method. Let us know your results
