Before we get started, here's the usual.... I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. Period. Do this at your own risk.
TrueBlue_Drew has made this very easy! Just follow this link to view his thread for automated converting and flashing. There are a couple of other methods to flash these as well. Keep scrolling to find instructions on flashing through fastboot or through terminal.
Requirements to Flash Through Fastboot:
Rooted MT4G/G2
ADB and Fastboot
Engineering HBOOT!!!! (This is important! You need the ability to flash with fastboot in order to use this! If you don't know what fastboot is I would not recommend doing this! Fastboot can be risky!)
Since we got the ability to flash custom splash screens I went and flashed an N1 splash screen. I wanted a little myTouch flavor added in, so I took a little time and this is what I came up with.
I also got a request for a plain HTC splash screen, so those just got added in. I'm going to try to keep new ones coming. If you find an image that you really like and don't know how to convert it, just post it and I'll convert it when I get a chance (must be 480x800).
INSTRUCTIONS:
Just unzip the contents of the zip file to the tools folder of your AndroidSDK (or wherever you have fastboot installed).
Plug your phone into the computer (Debugging enabled of course)
Open a command window
Type adb devices to make sure your computer recognizes the device
cd to the folder where you have fastboot and the splash screen .img
Type adb reboot bootloader
Your screen should say fastboot, not Hboot. If it says Hboot, manually scroll down and switch to fastboot mode.
Once in the fastboot bootloader type fastboot devices to make sure your computer recognizes the device
Type fastboot flash splash1 nexuscustom.img
It will say okay twice
Then type fastboot reboot
Stare at your brand new splash screen!
Requirements to Flash Through Terminal Emulator (THANK YOU TrueBlue_Drew!):
Rooted with S=OFF
Terminal Emulator
Fingers
TrueBlue_Drew said:
Here is how to flash a new splash screen image to your phone using Terminal emulator. Please keep in mind that as with any mod you can damage your phone beyond repair if done incorrectly.
1. Rename your 480x800 image file to custom.img and move it to your sdcard.
2.Open Terminal Emulator and type "su" to get a #
3.Then type this exactly as it appears and hit enter. Make sure not to make any mistakes!!!
Code:
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19
It should show you that the file has transfered. You can now back out of terminal emulator and reboot your phone to see the new splash screen.

Thanks to QTeknology for his original post with his Nexus One splash screen I used. Also, a most important thank you to reukiodo for his guide to creating/installing the splash screens which you can find here if you'd like to make your own.
Almost forgot.... Nandroid cannot restore the stock splash screen! This is a permanent change! If you want to return to stock splash you will have to flash stock .img. The original splash screen .img is here as well if anyone needs to return their phone for a warranty.
The next post contains the downloads. All splash screens are split between the two zip files to save space.
With each of the HTC splash screens, there are smaller versions of each.
These splash screens were originally made by JSZESZE for the Evo 4G. I stumbled across them and thought that they would look awesome on our phones! Huge thanks to JSZESZE for allowing me to post these here! If you have any friends with an Evo, they can get their copies by following this link.
I have a lot of colors up in post# 349: Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White, and Yellow. If you want a different color just ask. I should be able to make any color for you. If you want an exact color, please provide the Hex value.

Then these two were made by other members and look fantastic!
jbrew78 made this one:
and this one by UntamedDeviance:
Untamed Deviance has a thread with a whole bunch of awesome splash screens. Check them out here. He even does requests! Huge thumbs up!
Downloads here!!!!
Also the stock splash screen.
Had a request for a pink myTouch 4G screen for all the ladies here on XDA.
The last one I found while searching for HTC logos. It looks awesome as a splash screen!
TrueBlue_Drew also edited the HTC Special. He made it blue and added "rooted" to it. Really slick! Grab it from post 235.
This is fantastic! I intend to try it out. I did notice one thing though with my fastboot binary. I recently had the AndroidSDK self update, and the fastboot binary is no longer there. I restored from my backups, and have the original SDK back. When I run fastboot, I see the following output:
destiny:~ kambiz$ /opt/android-old/tools/fastboot devices
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
SH0AXRM00289 fastboot
Are the ERROR lines above normal?
Also, what are the various partitions fastboot can work with? boot, recovery, system, splash1 ... anything else? Is there a splash2 ?
EDIT: one more question, how do you generate the .img file for splash1 ? (BTW I went with the simple yet oh-so-much nicer than stock: mytouchsplash.img )
i definitely like the second one with the nexus X i will flash this when i go on lunch break and will report any bugs when i do. thanks for your work and dedication.
Any way you could post instructions on how to do this through terminal ? Thank you for the mod..

I haven't seen that error message before. I'm not very familiar with the finer points of Linux. I did this on my Windows 7 computer. I had a hell of a time getting the Android SDK working on my Linux partitioon. I used this thread to set up adb and fastboot on Ubuntu. I think I got it working more through luck than anything. Hope this thread can help you out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537508
Also I'm pretty sure there isn't a splash2 partition. I'm still pretty new at this myself. I did lots of work with Photoshop in high school, so I just decided to put those failing skills to work and put these out. Sorry that I can't help more!
The link to the guide on how to generate the image is located in the OP. The word "here" is linked to it. But here it is again.

I'm pretty sure this mod cannot be done through the terminal. I've never seen any instructions anywhere on how to install a splash screen anywhere but in fastboot. If you do find that it is possible I will gladly post the instructions in the OP.

you have to do it with fastboot, theres no way to change splash screens through the terminal
Thank you... I really want to change to the cool rooted mytouch one. I can't get it to work through fastboot though. I'm getting one of two error messages. Either it says it can't open flash 1 or its saying it can't find the read the image properties. I don't usually have problems with adb or fastboot so that's why i was hoping there was a way to do it using terminal.

Got it awesome... thank you very much....
Awesome! I'm glad that worked for you! I'll replace it in the OP.
Hey. All goes well till I hit enter to initiate the flashing of the new image. It says "can't open rootedmt4g. Img"
None of the files are named rootedmyt4g.img. If the one that says rooted is the one you are trying to use, unzip it to your tools folder in AndroidSDK and type:
fastboot flash splash1 rootedmytouchsplash.img
my apologies mate, just put it that way to shorten things up a bit. the actual prompt reads "error: cannot load 'rootedmytouchsplash.img'
did you also try from the post above? another person had the same error and when I did the re-upload on an above post that one worked for him. I'll go ahead and update the op again. Give me a few to upload again. In the meantime, try the one from post 13.
EDIT: I just updated the op with a fresh zip of rootedmytouchsplash. Lets hope this one's good for you!
EDIT: Here is also a link directly to the .img file. http://www.4shared.com/file/qrxyIBiY/rootedmytouchsplash.html
Thanks, it worked on the first try.
Thanks a lot, I now of a splash screen with my contact information, just in-case i loose it!

TIRED OF THE PLAIN MOTOROLA BOOT IMAGE WHEN YOUR PHOTON FIRST POWERS ON? TIRED OF STARING AT THE RED M LOGO WHEN IN FASTBOOT MODE?
WAIT NO MORE!!
I AM STARTING A THREAD FOR BOOT LOGOS FOR THE PHOTON. I WILL BE POSTING LOGOs AS I MAKE THEM. IF YOU HAVE AN IMAGE YOU WOULD LIKE AS A LOGO, PLEASE PM ME OR POST ON HERE AND I WILL CONVERT IT FOR YOU!
I WILL BE KEEPING UP WITH THIS THREAD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I WILL UPDATE REQUESTS AS I GET THEM...OR AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. IF YOU WANT AN IMAGE AND YOU POST IT IN THE THREAD, PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS. IF ITS AN IMAGE THAT YOU DO NOT WANT REPOSTED FOR OTHERS TO USE, PLEASE PM ME!
LETS DO THIS!
HOW TO
HERE IS THE LINK TO WHERE I GOT ALL MY INFO AND FILES NEEDED TO DO ALL OF THIS. ITS BEEN ALOT OF FUN AND ALOT OF TRIAL AND ERROR!!
BOOT LOGOs FOR THE MOTO ATRIX (exact same process for the Photon)
A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER / BE AWARE OF:
THIS IS NOT A BOOT ANIMATION - JUST THE IMAGE PRIOR TO THE ANIMATION STARTING.
IF YOU ATTEMPT YOUR OWN AND ITS NOT RIGHT, IT WILL JUST BOOT INTO BINARY TEXT. DONT FREAK OUT!!!
THESE WILL BE FOR COMMAND PROMPT ONLY. ATTACHED IS THE ZIP WITHOUT THE LOGO.BIN FILE. SIMPLY PLACE THE LOGO.BIN IN THE ROOT OF THIS ZIP FILE AND PLACE ON YOUR SDCARD AND BOOT INTO RECOVERY AND USE CWM TO INSTALL! **THANK TO damageplan1223 FOR THE ZIP** (I have not tested this zip to see if it works. I always use cmd)
I WILL GIVE AS CLOSE TO STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS AS POSSIBLE ON HOW TO INSTALL THE IMAGE ONCE ITS CONVERTED. SO HERE IS GOES:
UNZIP THE FASTBOOT FILE AND PLACE ON YOUR C DRIVE (OR WHEREVER YOU WANT IT)
IF ITS NOT ALREADY, MAKE SURE THE NAME OF THE FILE IS LOGO.BIN
PLACE THE LOGO.BIN FILE IN YOUR FASTBOOT FOLDER
USING COMMAND PROMPT (OR EMULATOR) CD TO YOUR FASTBOOT FOLDER: (example - cd C:/fastboot)
ONCE IN FASTBOOT DIRECTORY, BOOT INTO FASTBOOT ON YOUR DEVICE AND PLUG INTO TO COMPUTER (vol down and power...once fastboot appears, vol up)
TYPE moto-fastboot flash logo logo.bin (depending on if its home or work computer, I have to leave out the moto-)(It will tell you that the command wont work if you use the moto-fastboot. If it doesn just put fastboot and leave out the moto-)
AT THIS POINT IT SHOULD WRITE THE FILE TO YOUR DEVICE
THEN moto-fastboot reboot (same as other command, may have to leave out moto-)
AT THAT POINT, YOUR DEVICE SHOULD REBOOT AND BAM...NEW LOGO!!!
SO THATS ABOUT IT. JUST EXTRACT THE LOGO.BIN FROM THE DOWNLOAD AND FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS!!
GOOD LUCK!!!

Unfortunately I dont do much with boot animations...just the boot image that you see right before the boot animation. Here is a link to someone that does the animations and a pretty good directive on how to do it yourself.

Thanks so much bro !
Here's the one I just made for myself, based off just the Android logo.
I will not bore you with instructions as we have several threads already explaining how to do this.
In short you need the following:
SDK
ROOT
S-OFF
ENG HBoot
Understand the above
1. Download one of the .img files attached below
2. Move .img file to your work directory. (Same location you would put any file you flash from fastboot)
3. Have phone connected and phone booted in to your android operating system with USB Debugging on in your system settings
4. Hold shift and right click a blank space inside the folder from step 2, click on "Open command window here" then type the following codes 1 by 1.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(If you have already booted your phone in to fastboot then skip this step)
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 image.img
(Change the word "image" to whatever the actual file is named, be sure to remember .img at the end)
Code:
fastboot reboot

Help Please
My HTC one X+ recently underwent water damage. I took it to a cell phone repair store said it had no visible damage inside.
Bootloader works, Recovery works (TWRP), Boot animation works, everything seems to work.
The issue is that after it boots up it displays a black screen with the notification bar at the top.
I probably didn't give enough info, so don't hesitate to ask for more info.
Hi Marshall,
Do you have any sort of previous ROM backup? Which ROM was on your phone at the time in went "underwater"?
If I was in your situation here is what I would try, if your phone is detected by Windows and you can access the storage naturally.
Reboot in Recovery
Make a backup of my actual ROM
Make a full wipe, (factory reset, system, Cache & Dalvik)
Flash any intend ROM
Flash boot.img & Erase Cache
Reboot
There are some chances that your phone could boot normally. :fingers-crossed:
Recovering deleted photos & video
Hello,
I accidently deleted some pictures and videos on my HTC One Plus X and was wondering if there was some way to recover them. I tried some third party software but none of them would recognize the phone when it was plugged into the computer (although the computer recognized the phone). I looked on the Google Apps store and there are two apps that will do it if it was installed prior to the deletion. So those won't help me. I would appreciate it if anyone could let me know if they have had any luck getting back the deleted pictures and video. Thanks and have a great day.
Jon
Hi jeepdawg90,
It should have a way to, but I have nothing to share unfortunately. This phone is built with a data/media instead of an SD card and this means a totally different way to access the storage and all the usual arsenal of useful tools are ineffective to recover deleted files on this kind of partition. Let's wait to see if a developer can help you. One thing is certain, the less you are using your phone the more files can be restored IF it is possible. The closest I can help you, is by giving you this thread to read.
Pleaase help me!
Uhmm please do reply.. i tried rooting my htc one x+ using this method (Unlock bootloader then root) so it went well, i got my phone rooted, i saw the superuser app in my drawer. however my wi-fi and any data connection wont work. so what i did was i factory reseted my phone. now when i open it up and unlock the lockscreen, i can only see a white screen with htc logo on it. however when i press the buttons for voice search it still opens up the voice search. and when i press the recent apps button it will bring me to the recent app button.

Hi earprone,
First let me ask if you have a working SDK/ADB/HTC's Driver combinaison tools in perfect working order? If not this is the first step to do, otherwise it will be very difficult for you to recover a functional phone.
Please look in my signature and click to access a tutorial to do accordingly if your are on Windows based computer. Plug your phone on the charger during this time. Please don't hesitate to ask if something is unclear or your are not certain to perform, we are here to help!

Hi earprone,
Which ROM you are planning to install on your phone? Also please do confirm that you have an International (ENRC2B) model.
As for your WiFi and DATA issues flashing the correspondent boot.img of your actual ROM could be the first solution to try.

On the link you gave me (enrcb link) there are 2 files.. should i download both the md5sum and the openrecovery? i downloaded the openrecovery and proceeded to the next procedure, however when doing >fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img (Enter) on bootloader mode it says "TWRPrecovery.img 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." What does this mean? Thank you very much
Hi earprone,
To start with MD5 simply read HERE
Did you rename the open recovery correctly?
Thanks for the time again =)

Hey thank you i've done flashing a ROM on my hox+.. thank you so much for the help! :good: :good: :good: :good:
Congrats my friend!
Never hesitate to ask for help if your are stuck, remember to always backup before doing any modification and have fun exploring all the cool ROM's offered for the HOX+, you will find one that will suit your needs.
Also take the time to rate this thread if you found it helpful.
Lucky Thirteen, you are always for TWRP Recovery and against CWM. I saw it in different threads. As I'm comming from HTC HD2 forum, CWM is soooo native and so close to me. And sure I flashed CWM. But now, after saw several people like you and Loir saying only TWRP... i'm in doubt.
Can you please point me to some info about the difference between CWM and TWRP? Why Loir is saying that CWM is a crap? For me, an average user who only flashes roms and does some wipes are there any difference?
For me, if I don't want to flash Roms, I want to stay on ViperX+ for a several month, can I live with CWM and reflash to TWRP only when I decide to change a rom? (I really hate flashing ) What about CWM and battery charging... I mean if I ran a total 0 of battery, will I be able to charge my phone when it's switched off if I have CWM?
Thanks in advance.
I would like to know how to upgrade to a new ROM (Lollipop or better) on my Verizon HTC One Max with the option to return to stock. Software Information: 4.4.2, Sense 6.0, 3.09.605.3, 6.20, 4.60_002, 15432, 5
I was told to use (and did) Sunshine and then downloaded SuperSU from Google Store (per very detailed instructions and was told to not choose TWRP when the question popped up to choose one or the other (common/normal?)).
My phone is now UNLOCK and S-OFF as well as Rooted (but I'm having a lot of problems with blank screens, etc. and even had the black screen with the red ! in a red triangle (and I don’t know how I got it to boot up again (pushed pwr buttons, vol +/-, etc.)). However, that is as far as I’ve gotten. Confused am I.
I don’t know how to flash; however, I’ve been trying to figure it out, but I’m lost.
I’ve downloaded a lot of files from other threads, but the instructions, while detailed, didn’t say HOW to flash or add TWRP where I (a NEWBORN NEWBIE/NOOBIE) could understand, etc. Is there a place where all this is together?
Am I out of luck or would someone PLEASE help me fix and upgrade it with the option to return to stock if needed? I would love to have Sense 7.0, if possible. I apologize for such a long post/thread.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!
P. S. My phone is now Prepaid Verizon (was Postpaid). Don't know if that matters. I have pics of the files I downloaded from one of your great guys, but they are on my computer. Not sure how to upload. I AM GLAD THAT I FOUND YOUR SITE!!!!!
@LoveSpock I am going to make this short and simple...
First off the Verizon Max software only goes up to 4.4.2. If you want to upgrade you'll need a custom rom which is why you S-OFF and unlocked...
You will need to get familiar with fastboot commands. Google is your friend on how to use if you don't know how to. Here is the link to the TWRP image for your device. http://flyhalf205.com/recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-t6univ.img Once you get fastboot setup you will type in the command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.1-t6univ.img Make sure you have everything in the same directory when executing the command.
From there you are free to wipe then flash anything you would like. Wiping will delete your data so text, contacts that are stored on local phone(not sim or google) will be deleted.
@Flyhalf205
Thank you for your response and instructions. Does this mean I don't need to do anything to the SUPERSU that is already on the phone (and what it did)?.... Following your instructions will wipe everything?
I'll definitely need to take out my sd card. I've saved a ton of stuff on it. ...and backup my contacts and text messages.
I have some more googling and try to learn what you wrote for me to learn. I'll also have to find out what ROM to use....
Your Padawan thanks you.

Shouldn't worry about supersu. Most custom ROMs are going to have that prebuilt into it. Once you get TWRP we will go further into detail about how stuff works.
If you use twrp no need to take your SD card out just go to setting and unchecked SD card and like lovespoke said make sure to dl the right file you can dl right fastboot files here on xda just search it
Hey! Don't mean to hijack the thread but I'm in the same boat. I've never rooted and I'm looking to root my Verizon HTC one max. I'd also like to maybe install a custom Rom but I'm a noob so I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. Ok so it's my understanding that sunshine will root, s-off, AND unlock my boot loader? Btw I have no idea what those terms mean. Anyway, if someone could please confirm that about sunshine, it would really help me out. I've already downloaded and installed sunshine on my phone but I haven't paid the $25 yet.
Xx Moe, I strongly suggest you READ the various threads on XDA about unlocking bootloaders, gaining S-OFF and rooting. You can easily brick a device and there's much less support for the Max now than there was when it came out more than two years ago.
I don't believe Verizon HTC One Max's can be rooted without unlocking bootloader/gaining S-OFF and the exclusive method for that is Sunshine (unless you know someone with a Java card). Once you're bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you can then "flash" any partition on the device and that's how to brick the device.
Once you are bootloader unlocked and S-OFF, you start by flashing a 'recovery', which is usually the latest version of TWRP for the HTC One Max. Don't flash a recovery for a different device. (Google "Team Win Recovery Project"). Once you have a custom recovery you can "wipe" your device and flash a new ROM.
Wiping deletes all data, or some data, depending upon how you wipe, and there are not very many Verizon HTC One Max ROMs out there that are fully functional. Check the threads, one sticky thread has a listing of ROMs.
Finally, I don't believe anyone has gotten Marshmallow going on a Max, so expect the "best" you'll be able to do is a Lollipop ROM or a Cyanogen Mod equivalent.
Awesome! Thanks for the super quick reply. So yes, sunshine will s-off and unlock boot loader. That seemed to be the million dollar question since (like you said) the one max doesn't have very much support anymore. I'm definitely going to keep reading the forums because I don't want to brick my phone. I've also been watching some tutorials on YouTube. Everything (so far) seems pretty straight forward now, but you can never be too careful. Thanks for your help hgoldner!

Hey flyhalf, is there a thread on here on how to learn about adb fastboot, and flash the custom recovery for noobs? I cant seem to find it. I'm trying to install a custom rom on my htc one max but this is my first time ever rooting/unlocking an android. Ive searched the site but i cant find a tutorial on how to install the custom recovery or learn about adb yet. I have sunshine already on my phone but i havent used it yet because i want to know exactly what im doing before i pay the $25. Any help is appreciated. I already know how to get into the bootloader by pressing the power and volume down buttom at the same time while the phone is turned off.

I downloaded the sdk and corresponding java that the site recommended. I attached a screenshot of my pc to show where im at in that process.

Download the platform tools and the android usb driver. Don't need anything else.
But basically if your s-off yet. Boot into HBOOT. Power off phone and hold down both power button and the volume down button. Select fastboot using the power button. Your computer should hopefully automatically pick up drivers and call the device "My HTC" in the device manager. If not you'll need to go in and manually assign the downloaded driver using the link above to the Android device in device manager.
Download twrp image file into the same directory as the platform tools downloaded to. In windows, right click while holding down shift anywhere on the white blank area in platform tools and click on "open command window here".. From there you will type in the command fastboot flash recovery recoveryFileName.img
If it says waiting for device. Check device manager and make sure the driver is installed right.

Ok, so if im doing this correctly, the twrp img should be in the platform tools folder and my computer should recognize my phone as "my htc" as shown in my attached screenshot...

I forget if you were s-off or s-on but you will need to be s-off or your bootloader will need to be unlocked.. You don't need a rom just yet. You could flash recovery and flash root for starters. But once you get it flashed we can start on what to do next.

Sorry... I started the thread back in January. I've been out of commission and starting over.
I had used Sunshine to S-off and Unlock. I used SU to root. I knew nothing about flashing or fastboot and am still learning. One of your original responses to my original post said that google was my friend, so I googled per your advice and found some information on fastboot.
I don't know what flash root means in your response above.
You had also gave me the link to the TWRP image for my phone. You also wrote "Make sure you have everything in the same directory when executing the command." I've added 2 of the pics again as well as one of your img file in the directory I created when I loaded Android Studio.
The Android Studio I downloaded is the latest. Does that make a difference? I did find info on this site about a minimal adb and fastboot. Would that have been better?
I'm imagining my phone will be out of commission until the new ROM is installed, right? (See how I'm still such a Newbie/Noobie!)
Thank you!
Your Padawan
I received my bootloader unlock code yesterday so started the procedure to unlock it.
I got the dreaded 50% error, I fixed this by connecting the phone in fastboot to the miui sweet where it let me update to the latest version # 7.5. I installed TWRP and then after rebooting I lost wifi and the use of TWRP.
At the moment after spending all morning on the internet looking for answers I am stuck. My phone works but has no wifi and cannot access TWRP.
I have seen there is a tut for the soup kitchen to create a new img file but cannot find the original version I need.
I want to install the CM 13 rom, please someone offer advise on next steps to take.
Thanks

Thanks for the link, I am struggling to get it to work.
I will look at uploading some pictures to better explain myself.
Ok here is a picture.
I can't complete the guide in the video.
When I get to the stage with CMD, I verify its sees my phone but when I drag the twrp image over I get the error below.
The first error is where I forgot to drag over the image file, second is what I need help with.
Okay, from what I understand, you flashed a Stock MIUI ROM through fastboot, right? And then you are trying to flash TWRP.
From what I know, flashing a firmware through Fastboot relocks the bootloader. Can you check if you bootloader is locked or unlocked? If it is locked, then unlock it again and then flash TWRP.
use the command "fastboot oem device-info" to check bootloader status.
If it is locked, unlock bootloader again.
If already unlocked, then flash TWRP using "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo.img"
or alternatively use "fastboot boot recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo.img" to boot into TWRP without flashing it and then install the recovery image from within it. You do have to copy the TWRP img file to the phone storage first.
It says bootlodaer unlocked - true, so that's fine.
I cannot install twrp at all through cmd at all from the video.
I must be missing someting but dont know what. Is there an alternative method of installing it?

draging the file into cmd copies the path of the file with its name which gives you an error..the error just says that it is unable to locate the file.just delete "c\adb " from the below line the you are done.
fastboot flash recoveryc:\adb\twrp-3.0.2.2-kenzo.img
the right way to do is
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo.img
2'nd step :- fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo.img

That's whats wrong. You have the wrong files selected
fastboot script: flash all.bat
flash programmer go into images folder and select the file named something like firehose 8976 or similar
also for rawprogram and patch find the corresponding xml files in the images folder.

I don't think my pc is seeing my phone correctly.
I load EDL and phone goes black with red flashing led.
When black, I open up MIFlash. I then browse for Kenzo image and click ok then refresh.
I then click advanced and confirm I have chosen correct image, raw and patch file - which I have.
I then click flash and get error as pictured.
So it look likes I was doing everything correct but still doesn't work.
I doesn't show in picture but link to programmer, raw and patch are as follows.
Programmer - C:\Users\Gary\Desktop\kenzo_global_images_V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD_20160523.0000.23_5.1_global\images\prog_emmc_firehose_8976_ddr.mbn

Patch - C:\Users\Gary\Desktop\kenzo_global_images_V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD_20160523.0000.23_5.1_global\images\patch0.xml
So I think links are correct.
Before I tried Dior, I updated to V7.5. Image file is for Kenzo V7.3.7.
Not sure if it matters.

In the browse don't select the images folder select the folder that contains everything.
HI, no difference I'm afraid.
If possible could I add you to Skype for making this easier?
Just noticed in MiFlash for device name it stays as COM3 and doesn#t show device name, could it be that it can't see my devioce properly?
I feel like Im typing to myself here but trying to give as much information as possible.
Reading another unbrick method. It says open adb folder and open cmd with shift. In CMD I type devices, it then say list of devices attached BUT nothing there!
Then I type adb reboot edl - error device (null) not found.
I don't think it sees my phone......
Hopefully that is enough for you to know the problem.
How to fix please?

Programmer - C:\Users\Gary\Desktop\kenzo_global_images_V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD_20160523.0000.23_5.1_global\images\prog_emmc_firehose_8976_ddr.mbn
Raw - C:\Users\Gary\Desktop\kenzo_global_images_V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD_20160523.0000.23_5.1_global\images\rawprogram0.xml
Patch - C:\Users\Gary\Desktop\kenzo_global_images_V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD_20160523.0000.23_5.1_global\images\patch0.xml
So I think links are correct.
Before I tried Dior, I updated to V7.5. Image file is for Kenzo V7.3.7.
Not sure if it matters.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If the error shows reached the end you need to restart the pc
And as far as I see from your pics you should extract the tgz rom to C:/ROM/MIUI and all files should be in that
Remember when you extract a file it first creates a folder with the name of the file and then extracts using winRar.
This worked for me
Hit thanks if I helped.

How did you fixed the 50% hurdle? By just flashing the latest firmware and then trying to unlock? You did officially unlock right?
B'coz it didn't work for me.
