I rooted my HTC Evo 4G LTE and flashed it to the meanROM, but I want to customize the phone with a different splash screen and boot animation. Every time I go into Recovery mode the process fails, I am not able to achieve s-off, but thought I could still make though changes. I tried ROM Toolkit Pro and it still fails. Is it possible, and what would be the steps.

What fails recovery? How are you trying to install the bootanimation? Is the splash screen one that you flash or one that requires install through bootloader.

I thought that they both are flashed from recovery, and I tried both of them in recovery. Then I tried a boot animation from ROM Toolkit Pro.
All fails...

What does it do when you flash the bootanimation(blackscreen,default silver Android text, or do you get an error message in recovery. Is your recovery up to date?

It actually goes through the process on the splash screen install, and says that it was a success, but when I boot, I still have the HTC screen

Same thing..I have Team Win Recovery Project v2.2.1 Recovery, and it goes through the process of installing the splash screen, but I still have the HTC screen
The reason the ones from toolbox fail is because they flash to the wrong system folder so it wont work and for the boot anis that dude made them for a windows app he created to flash them only the ones that say flashable zip as a link that are recovery flashable

I rooted the phone and my Hboot is 1.15.0000 I am running MeanROM-ICS-v15-jewel-ltevo
Sorry bro u cant do splashes and as far as the boot ani..make sure your system is mounted as r/w and go intoo system folder find customize folder then find SPC_bootanimation.zip and android_sound.mp3 (not sure if thats right name ill double check) and move them and rename them to something else i use stock_ani.zip and stock_sound.zip then replace with the bootanimation and sound from your download and rename exactly to what they were named when removed...if that dont work pm me and ill help you out

You need to reinstall a different kernel through fastboot usb. If miui works then a sense rom won't until you flash compatible kernel.

Similar problem being stuck in boot screen
I am on twrp shooter 2.0 with hboot 1.5 and I was running syncombelite when I tried to in stall the CM9 Alpha build and I was not having luck with loading the rom through recovery so I tried to use Flash image GUI. It loaded the image but after it was done it would not boot. I was stuck on the HTC boot screen. I tried to do a nandroid recovery and the same thing over and over. I figured maybe try a different rom so I tried a couple.. I used one and it actually made it past the boot screen and loaded the Beats audio logo then was stuck there for maybe 30 minutes before I tried a reboot and the same thing. Then I though I wll do a superwipe so I downloaded the synergy superwipe along with the
fresh-evo-3d-4.2.0 then it made it past the HTC boot and just went black for another 30 minutes. Now I am at a loss. Please help me...

The recovery you use shouldn't matter. I have used CWM touch and non and TWRP all the same as long as it works for you. The easy way to flash CM9 is to use FlashImageGUI.apk before you wipe your current rom. Do not wipe ROM before using FlashGUI as it needs a OS to run on.
First flash recovery, whichever you want. If you don't already have one.
Put CM9 on sd
Flash boot.img from CM9.zip with Flash...GUI.apk (browse to CW9 on sd card)
Boot recovery, Flash rom from there.
(Flash..GUI should ask if you want to boot recovery after flash)
I used TWRP to flash CM9 tonight so I know it works 100%

Hi all, I hope you guys can help me. I am currently running Newts XXX ROM and I since I am traveling overseas I wanted to make my phone global. But I installed the wrong patch...I used the StockGSMpatch instead of the GSMpatch and now I can't get pass the HTC white screen. I tried flashing the non stock patch through recovery and it didn't work. I tried flashing the boot.img from Newts ROM and that didn't work. All I can do is get into recovery. If all else fails, I might have to wipe everything. If so, can I backup my data (like contacts) using recovery? Not sure how the nand backup works... Any help would be appreciated!
The gsm patch always requires a full wipe before installing. You gotta do that I'm afraid and then apply the patch for it to get past the bootloop.

You don't need the patch on Venom ROM, it automatically flashes it within the aroma installer once you choose the gsm option. So a factory reset and a reflash of the ROM should get you going.

I'm sorry, I really don't get what you mean.
Try jellybomb, it has the kernel installer, or go back to a sense Rom and use dumlock. Make a backup in recovery and go to advanced/dumlock and install. Boot back to sense and open dumlock, let it make a backup and execute. When you reboot it will go straight to recovery and from there go back to dumlock and restore boot. Now you can flash a Rom normally

Experiencing the same phenomena with the spinning blue CyanogenMod circle after boot. Have copied CM10 zip (stable, not nightly - yet) and GAPP onto sdcard. Rooted, and S-Off completed on HBoot 1.19, 2.13.651.1 RUU. Will follow this thread for guidance! I guess I am a noob here, but should have graduated beyond that, getting S-Off and root complete. Oh well!

There's really no reason to not be s-off. It makes installing non sense ROMs infinitely easier. Just use the dirtyracun s-off method and then flash cm10 again. If for whatever reason you just don't want to be s-off you can flash the boot.img in fastboot and it ought to boot up.

Another noob question, but what does S do exactly? And how do I flash the ROM / boot.img file?
Without getting too technical about it, being s-off means your device is fully unlocked rather than being half unlocked only using htcdev's unlock method. There's a much more in depth description in the FAQ among many other questions you probably have.

So today i flashed a new ROM (NOS ROM) but that didnt work so i decided what better time than now to try restoring again, no dice didnt work and i had to fastboot flash the boot img for the restore file to take and boot up just fine again...ok peeps what am doing wrong??? again im fairly new at this flashing ROMS scene but i thought witht he TWRP update i would be good to go. Am i missing some settings ticks/options/checks? i saw a check box that said "recovery" i think in the restore or back up process dont remember which process. i tried going onto the TWRP discussion but it is locked down and states that there will no longer be any support for it...should i just switch to CWM?? thanks in advance to whom ever replies

I may have misread but did you wipe everything before loading nos? I saw what was checked for backup but not about wiping. You should wipe everything-system, then cache, then delvik cache-not exactly in that order (make SURE there IS a backup just in case). Load the rom AND flash the correct image file with adb. Also, many roms when FIRST loading up sit a long time before they start up, not sure if nos does this or not-I have been jumpy about the time sitting with a few roms when waiting was all I needed to do. I have had different Viper versions on a few times and moving to another rom was quirky each time I did so, not sure why.
NOS did that to me too. Just wait....it will load into the setup wizard. I think being s-on, which I still am...twrp isn't able to back up and restore your roms boot.img. just a guess but I to failed to restore a backup when an install went awry. Makes sense to be being that you can't install a kernel from recovery either.

I looked at the install instructions for nos, if you are s-on you need to do one extra step. You have to extract the rom into a folder somewhere to get the image file, copy the image file from it. Flash that image file using adb on your pc and THEN install the rom from your phone with goomanager. Without the image file loaded, I don't think it would work. If you are s-off this step is not needed.

I believe it will, if it had the image from the get go. I believe that the back up has everything it needs. At least my back ups have never needed an image file. I decided I should try NOS myself and must say it would not go for me (S-off) it kept rebooting into recovery. I was going to try and also flash the boot image but have not done so yet.

Its the kernel in NOS. Flash NOS and then flash cpalmers kernel. Then reboot and do the setup and if you want to change to the zarboz kernel you need to delete system/bin/thermald or rename it to thermald_old.bak

Hmmm well I did everything via my cell (been the way I've been flashing ROMS unless something goes wrong then I use ADB on computer) and everything when properly done works fine using Flash GUI APP love that app! I've flashed super charged hatka 320 (used that for a couple weeks) then switched over to viper...both using Flash GUI I tried using NOS but yes no dice loaded up but when I pull the unlock ring for whatever reason the splash screen comes up and it won't budge from there....and as for my original question haha TWRP did not work for me when restoring it tripped out like if it was missing the boot image (done that before so I'm familiar with that behavior haha)
Oh and I'm still S-on

Flash the new Nos build, and flash cpalmers kernel after the Rom install and then reboot.
