You can either follow the instructions posted below to flash one of the custom splash screens in this thread, or you can follow benjamminzIS' instructions here if you have your own 540x960 image to flash.
If you have a picture that you would like me turn into a splash img for you, just post it/link to it here. (Needs to be 540x960 or it may look distorted)
YOU MUST HAVE S-OFF AND A CUSTOM H-BOOT FOR THIS TO WORK. Follow These instructions to flash a custom HBoot. You will also need ADB and fastboot setup on your PC.
1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where you have your custom.img file.
2. Connect phone to PC via USB. In cmd type "adb reboot-bootloader". This will reboot your phone into fastboot mode.
3. When in fastboot, type "fastboot flash splash1 custom.img". Fastboot should flash the image almost instantly.
4. Type "fastboot reboot" and watch your new splash screen!
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU MESSING UP YOUR PHONE. THIS CHANGE IS PERMANENT, AND YOU CANNOT REVERT TO THE OLD SPLASH SCREEN UNLESS YOU FLASH IT.

it just wouldnt work in using the cmd prompt. said it didnt recognize adb. i used super flasher and it worked fine
If it isn't working in ADB using the fastboot flash splash1 imagename.img command, it means your hboot doesn't support writing commands. After s-off, either flash juopunutbear's custom hboot, or flash the ENG HBOOT I have posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1018938&d=1335108356
(rename to ph85img.zip, place on your SD card, and reboot to bootloader)
After flashing the ENG hboot, you should be able to flash your splash manually or using the tool provided in this thread.

i just flashed your boot you posted and i am still s-off but it shows me as locked now instead of unlocked. does that matter?
Locked is fine.. that has nothing to do with the ability to flash anything. Once you are s-off you can flash anything you like, as long as you also have an ENG HBOOT. Go ahead and reattempt flashing your boot screen. It should work this time.

since i changed over to the eng hboot everytime i flash a splash screen its just a bunch of lines. how can i go back to the JuopunutBear hboot???
More than likely you are flashing an image that is not the correct size. It has to be 540x960. If the hboot allowed it to flash, then it is not the hboot that is the issue.

i am using the right size image. i tried one it didnt work and then i went back to the one i had before that worked and it was the same way, all lines. i am just going to restore back to right after i got s-off working and see if that takes care of the issue

Did you just try changing a regular image file over to a .img file and then flashing it? If you do that, then you will get a picture full of lines. You need a program that can convert an image to .img for you.
here use this... its a program that i recently modified to work for my previous phone
the program is self explanatory

FLASH AT OWN RISK, i take no responsibility if your device is not working afterwards, as I'm a n00b and not a developer.
How to flash:
1. download zip file
2. rename to PG09IMG.zip
3. put file on sdcard root folder
4. boot into recovery
5. when asked to update use the VOL + for YES and VOL - for NO
6. once complete device will reboot and device will be updated
- Feel free to use and abuse ROM as as you feel like it
Good Luck and Enjoy!
sorry for beeing a noob, but what do i get when i flash this rom, i assume that all the crap that at&t put in dissapears, but do i get extra stuff from htc, like locations?
also, do i have to have s-off?
Is this rooted?

This is just a new version of the ROM from ROGERS so that means it still has bloat ware on it not from AT&T but from ROGERS so IMHO i wouldn't bother.
i put it up here so maybe some dev can take it apart and make some thing useful out of it.
PS< this ROM can be flashed on a NON-ROOTED jetstream as it is a official ROM, just not sure you'd want to if you're not with ROGERS.
Good Luck!

ok, maybe it still has bloatware, but i downloaded the manual from htc, and it looks like it has more programs that's useful, like wi-fi hotspot, and it has htc navigation, if it's like htc locations, then it has offline maps
i tried to flash this rom, but i had problems typing in fastboot commands
has any flash this Roman on At&t jetstream

First i put the downloaded file on a external sd card, renamed it to PG09IMG.zip, booted into recovery, on the screen i saw a column moving, checking the file.
after a while when it was done, i selected the recovery menu, i got i icon with a phone and a exclamation mark, and after a while it rebooted.
Then i tried to flash it throu fastboot,
in fastboot mode, i typed:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip PG09IMG.zip
after some checking i got FAILED (remote: 42 custom id check fail)
so i assume that there is some check if i have a jetstream from at&t or rogers.

not 100% sure but do you have S-OFF?
also another thing i noticed different is how it reacted to your jetstream, on mine, i copied the ROM to the ext sd card in the root folder and then i booted into recovery it did a whole bunch of checks and then it asked me if i wanted to upgrade or not. So not sure why you had to go into the recovery menu. maybe try having your jetstream on fastboot and try it again.
Hope it works! Good Luck!

i don't have s-off
when i had the rom on my ext sd card it did the checks like it did on your's but i didn't get the update prompt, i even tried to use a gold card.
so i don't think at&t wants us to update the rom, i think i'll have to wait till we get unlocked bootloader or when we get root.
Your jetstream is at&t so you can't flash rogers rom
I have done all the above mention methods and by using goldcard.

I don't know what happened to my evo view, I didn't s-off it before. My brother borrowed it and when he gave it back to me, it was just in that situation, hung at htc screen. So I tried to flash another stock rom (actually , it's the rom running in my device) , but I have no luck to bring it back
Are you sure you're using the 1.22.651.1 RUU?
The reason for asking is that the RUU process is detecting that as the version-main on your device but is then saying there is a version check failure which would indicate that that is not the RUU you are using.
I tried the RUU in the first post, also another sprint express RUU 1.18 with no success bcoz of a bootloader error. I download these 2 roms from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062184
You must use the 1.22.651.1 ROM, can you run that again and collect the RUU log for that version.

thanks for your answer. But in order to make revolutionary to work, you have to access android working screen to enable the "usb debugging mode", if not, there is no luck. htcdev tool does not ask for this, everything is working on the fastboot mode. Unfortunately, somehow fastboot.exe couldn't read my device info in the step 8.
@globatron, I'll try to reflash it and upload the log. Thanks so much for joining me
Try pulling the rom.zip out of the 1.22 ruu.
Rename the zip PG41IMG.zip (.zip is the extension not part of the name, some people actually make that mistake).
Place the PGxx.zip in the root of an sdcard and place the card in the device.
Boot the device into bootloader/fastboot and let it read and hopefully it should install and get you back to a running state.
I find running ruu's can most times be a pain than a saviour.

thanks for your advice, I did try it that way with no success. let me make thing clearer in the first post.....
Run the RUU again as I said, with the version I specified. I need to see a log that is definitely for that version.
Sorry for the delay, it seems that the main battery is low, I can't run the RUU right now. It is charging. Sorry for that
when you have enough power to do this, delete all the old log files before running the RUU so only the ones from this run are included.
okay, here it is the log file
ok, that RUU was entirely successful. Does it boot now or is it still the same?
It's still the same, hangs at htc screen
try removing the sdcard and a factory reset (both together) then see if it will boot with the card still removed. If not take it in for repair telling sprint that you tried to take an OTA update then this happened.
Update 2: My phone is now S-Off and running ICS. It's awesome! Thanks everybody.
Update 1: So I unlocked the bootloader using the all-in-one tool and suddenly the phone boots up fine.
My phone was S-On, bootloader unlocked and running Bulletproof 2.5 and 4EXT recovery.
I used the All-in-One tool to flash stock recovery and relocked the bootloader. Afterward my phone is stuck in the fastboot/hboot screen no matter what I try. I tried flashing the Wind Mobile RUU (GB) after renaming it to PH85IMG.zip yet that doesn't solve the problem. Any advice?
This is what appears in the screen:

I was coming from Xborder's Bulletproof 2.5.0. The phone goes straight to Fastboot (picture 1). I wasn't flashing the ICS RUU, just the GB RUU.
I'm gonna go ahead and bet you have this on the INTERNAL sd card(/sdcard) not on the external sdcard(/sdcard/extsd)
It looks on the microsd card you have in the phone, not the built in storage.. move the file to extsd and boot into bootloader and it will work.

It is a zip file, open it with a program like 7zip and see what is inside of it, it should have files like radio.img, rcdata.img, boot_signed.img, system.img, etc.
If for some reason it doesn't upzip with an unzip program(i verified it works with 7zip), or those files aren't there, that may be your issue(redownload the file again, rename, move to extsd, try again).
Double check that the file is both named right (ph85img.zip I believe, and follow the instructions exactly, it IS case sensitive) and on the external card - it saying there is no image means either the file is named wrong, or in the wrong place, or the files it is looking for inside the zip aren't there.. either you got a bad download or just some step is a little off.
AND MAKE SURE U DOWNLOADED THE RUU FROM A CREDIBLE SOURCE.
I used Hasoon2000's mirror in football's newer release thread, because a dropbox mirror gave me a corrupt file that wouldn't flash right.
Redownload ruu and try again?

Yes, I used the kernal flasher to flash the boot.img file when I was flashing the bulletproof ROM. Does that make any difference?

Thanks for the info. I'm S-ON so I can't flash Hasoon's T Mobile ICS RUU. Both of his files http://d-h.st/users/hasoon2000 are T-Mo ICS RUU. I'm looking for Wind GB RUU.
Update:
So I unlocked the bootloader again and suddenly the phone boots up fine. I will try to get S-off so I wont have to relock the bootloader again.... Thanks everyone for your help.
I had the same issue too after I went back to stock recovery and relocked the bootloader. I tried to unlock the bootloader again to see if that woudl work but it ended up wiping my phone back to factory... there goes my root...

Whether or not I plug the USB and follow the HTC's Instruction, I can never get to unlock the bootloader and I so really need to root my phone
It's really simple if you follow HTCs instructions.
Make sure when u copy unlock token, you are copying only necessary characters.

Even If I follow that, when I reach the CMD prompt part, my it will show the " Waiting for device" dialog, and my phone's USB debugging is active and my phone is on, the hasoon2000's pattern of doing this always restart my phone and boot into the HBOOT section which is locked and I can never get to unlock it.

I ran s-off with the htc unlocker tool. Then flashed newtoroots sense 4 rom and had to install sense 4 boot image for it to boot. Then I installed venom rom. When I try to flash my nandroid back up to stock ics it won't boot. When I try to flash a stock ruu it says no image or wrong image found. I was told I need to relock? Does that mean no longer be s-off? What does locking and relocking mean? Can someone explain this to me or help me get back to stock? I named the file PH98IMg.zip, let it load in fast boot it does the no image or wrong image thing. I made sure it doesn't have .zip.zip So please someone explain to me the relocking and s-off thing. So if i'm s-off how do I relock and keep s-off? I just want to be able to flash the stock ruu. Thanks.

HTC unlock is NOT s-off. To get s-off you have to go to unlimited.io and download the juopunutbear program for the rezound.
To run an ruu you must be locked boot loader. To relock to open fastboot and type "fastboot oem lock" then use the PH98IMG.zip.
If you use jbear to get s-off, you won't have to worry about locking and unlocking as you will stay locked but be able to flash all the stuff as unlocked.

Does that also mean I can't flash a stock rooted ruu?

You need s-off to go backwards in version numbers.
Apparently HTC and Verizon only want you to make progress, even if there are bumps in the road to progress.
btw, a stock ruu is never rooted.
So, first run the stock ruu, and then root it.
also, a Rom is not an ruu.
A Rom might be based on a stock ruu, but a Rom does not include everything that is in an ruu. A Rom is usually the system partition and the boot/kernel partition, both are modified and can no longer be referred to as being stock. An ruu includes, hboot, boot, system, radios, etc..
I think some ROMs are referred to as stock only because the developer started by modifying files from a stock REZOUND ruu, as opposed to starting with files from an ruu made by HTC for a totally different phone like the one-x for example. No Rom is stock, because even one modification to files from an ruu means it is no longer stock. it is a misnomer to refer to any Rom as being stock. Some roms might have fewer modifications and be closer to stock.
Stock usually also means all phone functions are working, where with a Rom one needs to read carefully to see what phone functions do not work with the Rom, and to consider how important the broken functions are to you.

Howard

I see everyone talking about fastboot, is that a program i should still have on my computer from when I rooted? It vaguely sounds familiar but I cant remember...

It's a .bat file that allows executing commands in the command prompt. When you rooted you did have to use fastboot to get the identifier token and flash the unlock_code.bin

after you s-off never htcdev unlock. use a modified hboot instead
for convience reasons if you ever have to turn it back to complete stock.

Just a holding spot for splash screens once S-OFF is released to the public. (Please don't hate)
Unfortunately that horrible red warning writing is still there as that is tied into the hboot and I personally have no experience with that and don't want to brick any of our precious devices lol. So I'll stick to what I know, but I will talk to the unlimited.io team to possibly get some help with the hboot.

Added to OP.
Might be a good idea to have the stock one in there for the "oh ****" scenario's.

usually if u need to get a stock splash screen its for a return, running an RUU would be needed anyway, which would restore back to stock, but ill add it to the OP anyway.
I like the first one htc logo on black background, less eyestrain compared to stock, how about some boot logos (the image before the animated splash), cause I'd also like to replace the eye melting htc boot logo on white with the htc boot logo on black background like what you could do with the Incredible 2.
Edit: being more specific, not the animated boot splash, the htc boot logo that comes before that.

going to give this thread a bum-pity bump since S-OFF is released into the wild.
Enjoy!
Nice.
So I changed the splash screen no problem, but I'm still getting the red HTC dev text. Is there any way to get rid of it?

Yes,
by editing the hboot.img
Although, this is very dangerous, and can result in bricking your phone completely. meaning it wont ever be recoverable.

you are also capable of changing the "DirtyRacun" to whatever you'd like, along with the build # (in the example 1.02.1112) and also the build date (APR 20 2012, 01:01:10

Looking forward to this tool very cool.
On the splash screens can use any from any forum/phone and rename it or does it need to be specific? So I just click the pic hit save and rename it that simple?

Thanks Andy, you're too kind. And also correct. The plug in should be released in a week or so. When it is, you will be able to change the text in the magenta box, and you will be able to get rid of the red HTC Dev text.
You will also be able to customize that red text if you want
