[Q] Flash splash screen on hboot 1.12? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Hello xda, I have recently tried to flash a custom splash screen using this web converter and it didn't work. My rooted EVO LTE currently has:
HBOOT 1.12.2222
LazyPanda S-Off
TWRP Version 2.2.0
HW Version 0003
SW Version 2.13.651.1 710RD Android 4.0.4, Sense 4.1
Baseband Version 1.12.11.0809
Is there some alternative way to create a custom splash screen and flash it either via recovery or fastboot for 1.12 HBOOT devices?

You could just drop it in to system media

He is asking about splash screen, not bootanimation.

What was your flashing process?

The splash screen? I remember doing that for the boot animation. What is the exact directory for splash screens?

Sorry, got confused. For some reason I always think boot animation when someone says splash screen

You are confusing me, the converter that you posted a link to is for slash screens. Then you asked about bootanimation. What's exactly that you're trying to do?

The web generator takes an image you create to exact dimensions and converts it into a flashable .zip folder. From there, you place it on the root of your SD and flash it from recovery. It flashes and says success but when I reboot it has the stock splash screen still displayed. If you read that thread for the web generator that I linked in the OP, on the third page someone states that he/she doesn't believe it works for 1.12 Hboots. I was curious if we had a similar, alternative method for 1.12 in which I can create my own and flash it successfully.

There's no reason you shouldn't have access to splash with soff

I had no problem flashing it from recovery. I am s-off and hboot 1.12.2222. Maybe try to flash one of already made from that tread, just to see if you made a mistake when using converter?

I'll give it another shot when I get home, but I'm under the assumption that hboot version plays a role in changing the splash screen.

It blocks the partition when locked but seeing as you are s-off it shouldn't matter. Can you peek inside the zip from what ever file explorer you use

Sorry my mind is still else where if zip had been damaged flashing would have failed

OK I did it again and it worked without a hitch, don't know what was the issue before. The generator says it checks if the image is in the correct format, dimensions etc. If it is not, it will generate an error code so there was no error there with my upload. Then when I flashed it before it didn't show any errors and said it successfully flashed but it in fact did not. Now I did the same process with the same image and everything worked fine. Thanks for the help guys, whoever said hboot 1.12 wasn't supported was in fact wrong.
Here is the splash I made if anybody is interested, I think it looks classy and doesn't burn your eyeballs out when you look at it in a dark room.
