I've seen countless tutorials for different phones/tablets and I want to know more specifically how to do it for a TB, considering I don't want to brick my phone. And I know there are a bunch of them floating around but there has only ever been one that I truly liked and I can't find it anywhere, so I'll make my own. This is what I had in mind...

I've already got the image in the correct resolution (480x800) and have successfully converted it to both RAW and RLE formats but haven't the slightest clue where to go from there.

Ok, that much I can understand but I don't know how to do that. It's like I said I have the image in PNG, RAW and RLE formats but no clue where to go from there. I know I'm supposed to make a boot.img somehow but that's where I'm stuck.
Take the boot.img from the rom you want to use it on and use the python script for splitting boot images. There is a guide for it on the interwebs. There is another method to flash it through fast boot but I am not sure how to package the file to make it ready for a fast boot flash. I know for a fact there are guides all over the place making splash screens.

I have seen countless guides but not a single one that references the TB and I don't want to take the risk in doing something that was specifically said to work on some other device. I have used the split_bootimg.pl to split the boot.img but that doesn't seem to help me at all as it just gives me boot.img-kernel and boot.img-ramdisk.gz, neither giving any indication towards a PNG, RAW or RLE file
The principal behind inserting a splash image is the same for all devices that use a boot.img.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Well I found this and it's pretty straight forward and to the point although I dislike it being specifically made for Windows considering in my experience it's impossible to get fastboot working in Windows 8. Ultimately you can use the above on Linux so long as you have Wine installed. I'm gonna try to port the batch script into something usable in Linux, if I succeed I'll post the results here.
Well I wrote a bash script now so anyone else looking for info go here

the exact command for a LOGO would be
here again I use Root Terminal for everything so I have no idea if it requires it or not
# adb reboot (this is if you are in the OS already)
# fastboot devices (make sure it's connected properly)
# fastboot flash splash1 'image.*' (can be anything in the RAW fomat BUT most conform to the 480x800 format)
# fastboot reboot (gives you a full reboot with the new image)
also.... I have a tutorial on how to flash images here

OH SNAP! ...you say??
This is a quick tutorial for anyone who may want to change [any] image into your new splash screen.
Prerequisites
- s-off
- drivers for the e3d (if on windows)
- nbimg for windows users or for linux users (probably best to put this in your SDK tools folder since that will already be in your path)
- an image you want as your splash screen in BMP format
(^^ it's probably best to have a BMP image that is 540x960 since that is our resolution)
The Process
1. In command prompt (windows) or terminal (linux) type the following:
Code:
nbimg -F nameofimg.bmp -w 540 -h 960
2. In the same directory as your BMP image you will now find a file called: "nameofimg.bmp.n0"
3. Rename "nameofimg.bmp.n0" to "splash.img"
.......Windows:
Code:
rename nameofimg.bmp.n0 splash.img
.......Linux:
Code:
mv nameofimg.bmp.n0 splash.img
4. Now we're done converting the image to a format the e3d can use so let's reboot to the bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
.......OR ...power down your phone, hold the volume up and hit the power button and make sure your usb cord is plugged in.
5. Time to flash the image, in the same command prompt or terminal window that you opened earlier type the following:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash.img
6. w00t! you're done!! Use the volume rocker to go down to "reboot" and hit the power button to reboot and see your new splash screen.

You might want to mention that 32-bit BMPs don't tend to work well with nbimg. I don't know if 16-bit BMPs do either, but I find it safe to stick with 24-bit.

anyone feel like creating a splash similar to the original Evo 4G 'white text on black' that was so popular that just said 'HTC Evo 4G', but perhaps just use the text from the 'HTC Evo 3D' straight text logo? I bet it'd be pretty simple..

Actually while I was trying my custom logo, which I messed up the first time. This is what happen when I flashed it. I fixed my logo and flashed, all good, but decided I liked this look better while it boots, so I just flashed the messed up logo.bin again. As far as to how to just remove it, I don't know. It looks a lot like the Bionics bootloader menu though.
Funny accident haha! Where is the logo? I want to try it! Or can I get the file you flashed?

Actually... I wonder if we can use this...
there is the good logo.zip with the bin inside just flash, its mine I made, I don't have the stock, but they are easy to make.
also but in the badlogo.zip with the bin inside that will cause you to get the bootup screen I got.

where is this supposed to be stored on the phone? when flashing where will it be saved.
No no no you have to go into fastboot.
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot reboot
Edit:
Open the zip and pull the bin file. Place the bin file in the same directory as your fastboot. Place your phone in fastboot and connect to pc. Open cmd prompt. Click start, enter cmd in search and command prompt will com up. type location of your fastboot.exe file. example C>user/sdk/fastboot. Then run commands.
For a noob, what would the commands be, and where is fastboot?

Green, I'm not sure. I never gave it that much thought. Mainly because if I didn't like the one I made on the phone, I would just piece together another. There are logo images all over these forums that look pretty cool and are fairly easy to tweek and use. Making your own is kinda fun and its yours. I believe there is a how to over on the Atrix forum or maybe the Dinc.

Ok Unzip the attached to your C: drive (I mean the "root" of the C: drive)
I use moto-fastboot, most people use just fastboot no real deference.
Place the logo.bin file in the same location as the fastboot
open start and type cmd in search (windows 7)
open start and click run, type cmd (windows xp)
should see something like this:
"C:\Users\Computer Name>"
type: moto-fastboot flash logo logo.bin
it will do its thing
then typ: moto-fastboot reboot

I put the bin files in zips so the bad file and good file would be separated not to flash in recovery. The Fastboot method is by far easier and quicker.

Really takes no time at all. people use Photoshop or I believe its Paint.net or somthing like that. I use GIMP, simple and has most of the options photoshop has and its free. You should do a search of these forums and look for a "How to", I remember reading some good ones.
I just thought I would put it out there for new people like me who are not too familiar with the procedure to flash a new webtop version on our phones. I do not believe the procedure is outlined in an easy to find thread yet.
Things you will need
-Unlocked Atrix 4G ? (mine is unlocked)
-Moto-fastboot http://diamantephoto.com/fastboot.rar
-Latest Webtop IMG file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
-Brain
First you need to extract fastboot and your webtop img file in the same directory. Make it something easy and short since you will have to access it in a command window. (c:\atrix)
Second you need to boot your phone in fastboot mode. Hook your phone via usb cable, hold the volume down buttom while powering up. When fastboot show up on your screen press volume up and it will put the phone in fastboot mode.
Third you need to open a command window and go to you fastboot directory. If in C:\Atrix you type "c:" then press enter then type "cd atrix" then press enter.
Lastly type these commands in order
"moto-fastboot devices" (just to make sure we have a connection before we get to business)
"moto-fastboot erase webtop" (this will erase your current webtop partition to make room for the new one)
"moto-fastboot flash webtop webtop.img" (this will flash the new webtop to your now empty webtop partition it will take about 2 minutes)
"moto-fastboot reboot" (voila your done, let your phone reboot into your rom and you can enjoy your newer webtop!)
All of this should look something like this

Here is a link to a guide to further customize your webtop if you want to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397583
Thanks to dicksteel for pointing me in the right direction for the actual procedure!
There's something easier than this, Fruit Cake. Flash it from CWM and your done. Plus I think someone made an automated cmd script that installed the 2.3.6 Webtop. Thanks for the effort though, search button could be used...
I searched myself for a method myself for about two days, if you can provide the link to such a thread I'll gladly add it here. I found many how-to's for customizing the webtop (such as webtopmod or webtop2sd) but I couldn't find an how-to just to update your webtop version itself.

I thought that I made one, but I guess it was just a ROM upgrade without the webtop.
But. This: Fruit Cakes All you pretty much do is flash the Webtop zip in CWM and your done. It's just a easier and quicker way of what your doing here.

Yeah, I don't understand why he points you to the fruitcake image, but then has you extract it from the zip file. CWM includes a command to flash webtop images directly, rather than going through what is described.
Also, when I first read it, I though it mean actually updating my current webtop image, not flashing a new one. That would be a feat so I don't have to apply my changes when a new webtop arrives (already on 2.3.6, so right now that's not an issue for me).

if for whatever reason you cant flash the zip file like me, im on gingermod 2.3.6 but when i try to flash the cwm webtop file it doesnt let me. says i failed the authentication that sam built into his cwm file. anyways i dont think cwm is easier than fastboot, they are both very easy. btw make sure you use moto-fastboot from this thread i think the fastboot that OP linked to is just the normal fastboot and cannot be used to flash large file like webtop.
Try searching this site....wft ..also he points you to a fruit cake file for cwm and then tells you to use moto-fastboot...Please can the moderaters delete this kind of thread.
So I made the base of my toolkit. Just waiting on a recovery to finish it. Now I want some ideas to add/implement/make it better.
Many people know that I make toolkits for basically every new HTC phone. Here is the sample for the One X+ at the moment.

Things I will NOT add.
- Stock/Custom Kernels
- Remove Root
- Probably more that I forgot
Many people flashed kernels and had no idea on how to use it and soft-bricked their phones.
Root can be removed with the SuperSU app from my toolkit.
So give reasonable recommendations and I will see what I can do!
Hey hasoon,
under "kernel" maybe "fastboot erase cache" as it comes hand after flashing boot.img (or directly in flash command for boot.img, if it's not already there)
and eventually "adb logcat -d >log.txt" under "command". Just for the lazy among us .

flashing is the same with all phones. download a ROM, transfer to your phone, go into recovery and flash. Rooting is the same for pretty much all modern HTC phones.

I've used your toolkit, and I have to say it is pretty awesome work. However, as a first time user, I was rather confused with the UI, since it looked like there was no real 'order' labelled on each section, they aren't labelled like "Step 1, 2.. etc". Otherwise, the tool works great.

ROM downloader is another story. I don't have a centralized database with all the ROMs. I'm adding ADB Sideload as we speak!
I'm redoing my scripts to make this even better! It isn't easy and I probably won't have it done tonight. My goal is to have it done by tonight! However, I never had these features before, so I'm learning how to implement them without errors!
Here's a sample of the new addition!
Make some requests. I'll see what I can do!
Features will vary from device to device. The Amaze does not need an ADB Sideload feature. I'm using my Amaze source to mess with the new add ons.
This will not be done tonight. It's taking a lot of time to write this and it's giving me some errors.

As you may or may not be aware, I have been working on get CWM Recovery working on the Gen9's and basically make the layout of the Filesystems etc reflect some sort of Android Standard, In SDE mode at least. This is coming along nicely and I should be ready to kick out a Early Beta in the Next Couple of Weeks.
I would like to gather some input on any additional options people who like to see in CWM, Basically CWM Recovery Comes with a standard set of features but they maybe options that you have found useful on Device's you have had in the past etc.
I already plan to make it possible to boot into all modes on the device, that Archos Recovery, Archos Android, SDE Android and SDE CWM Recovery.
So Yeah, Give me Ideas and I'll seen If I can accomadate them
NOTE: Obviously We are just getting started on this and alternative recoveries will come in time, TWRP for example but one thing at a time eh :good:
Okay, Here's a currently "wishlist" of feature I think would be quite useful
Archos Specific Features
Include Stock Repair and Recovery Options
Include Stock Developer Edition Options
Reboot to Stock Recovery Option as a Fail Safe.
Reboot Stock Android
Flash Archos aos update
Upgrade Existing SDE Images to new structure
An the list goes on.....
Print system Properties
Print dmesg
Resize Partitions
Manage FS Image Location ( mainly nice to have on HDD Version I suppose )
Backup to Sparse Image ( I'm sure CWM5 Nandroid did this with ext4 partitions, god knows why they changed to a default choice between tar archives or dup differential blobs, What If I just a single portable file for my data partition backup!! )
Start Fastboot support ( could be useful for flash images rather the 'ffing around with edify scripts and update zips )
Power Off ( Suprisingly not include by default )
Full Touch Support with on screen keyboard and command line
I think those features will do nicely but If anyone has anymore then get involved!
The nandroid backup interests me a lot... its always nice to be able to "return" to when it was working if anything breaks.

Maybe an ability to mount the whole system through usb? So one could DD clone the whole memory chip to PC. That could recover some bricks.

I'm not sure if this would be actually usefull for flash partitions (one-time update.zip flashing should be enough)

Start Fastboot support ( could be useful for flash images rather the 'ffing around with edify scripts and update zips )

But fastboot works on the bootloader level

Hi There,
I think, You've got your wires crossed None of this is related to letama CWM Recovery./ If you haven't already you may want to have a read of this thread in the development section I won't go into details here because It's all in there!
I well aware of how fastboot works but to supporting the fastboot protovol allows the same workflow when it come to work with the AOSP source as any over device. which is
Build Rom
Flash the Partitions with fastboot
Reboot Into Rom.
???
Profit
When you control both ends of the conversation, We are free to do as we please.
Any news ... are there any files to do some testing?
