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.

These are a Cyanogen colored version of the myTouch 4G splash screens that were requested by jdkoren. Just click the pictures to get to the post with the downloads.

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!
CUSTOM SPLASH SCREENS FOR THE EVO SHIFT
***must have S-OFF and FULLY rooted****
LEAVE IMAGES IN THREAD MUST BE 480x800
Feel free to edit in Gimp, Photoshop, pixlr, etc...
dont know what a splash screen is? here or the annoying white htc screen as you boot up
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: IF YOUR DEVICE BRICKS OR BREAKS BECAUSE OF YOU NOT READING I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE

Instructions
1. Leave file in the root of sd card, rename PG06IMG_xxxx.zip as PG06IMG.zip
2. boot into your bootloader and it will read the file (PG06IMG.zip) as a update
3. volume up, or yes
4. done, reboot and enjoy your splashscreen
when I say 'by _______' I mean the editing, most of these images do not belong to me so I will not take credit for the original, just the edited splash.

Here is a link to a thread from January-February time frame...has some info for creating the .img file used in the PG06IMG.zip out of a .bmp file.
We used to do this in adb, but this method appears to be slicker and has the advantage of being able to change between any number of splash screens on a whim...without needing a computer.

Just went to flash mine and I had to change then name in the file from vampire to splash1 first but once I got to the splash screen it didn't come out right. I don't know what happened, but all I did was open the zip in astro and changed the name so bootloader could read it correctly.

ok this one should be fine.. http://www.multiupload.com/U4PCFHYJ5K
i havn't tested it but it should work fine now... if the image is destorted then it wasn't 480x800, if it is a bootloader error then its my fault
thanks for the patience
I knew this thread looked really familiar.. Here's a thread that was started about 4 or 5 months ago Throw your Splash Screens here!. There's several nice splash screens throughout the thread, also the stock splash is in the op.
I have a strange feeling PhotoShop didn't save it as that resolution but I'll find out in a few when I go to flash.
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!!!

don't take offense to this, but I think if you're asking questions like this about a pre-alpha, you might just want to hold off. Or just use on of the Kangs and flash with CWM.

I installed CM9 ([ROM][GT-P7500] CM9 KANG (ICS Preview) ) on my Galaxy Tab P7500 just yesterday evening, and so far I'm REALLY impressed by the performance and functionality.
I had some problems during the process and I thought I could share my experiences with you and give a short briefing on how to flash this stuff.
SHORT REVIEW
The ROM is superb. Even though it's half way there with some unimplemented things, the speed of the browser, the font rendering and overall look&feel make it impossible to return to honeycomb.
TESTED WORKING
1) OS in general
2) 3G, WIFI
KNOWN NOT TO WORK
1) Camera does not start
2) Some Trebuchet(CM9 launcher) menus in the settings not yet implemented
3) Screen rotation animations start with a blank screen
WHAT I DID
I started with rooted 3.2 Stock ROM and a battery 75% charged. I don't think rooting the tab beforehand is necessary, as you're going to overwrite the bootloader with CWM anyway.
1) I used Odin 1.85 and flashed Clockwork Recover Mod from Droidbasement, they even have the Stock IO recovery available there too!
- You need to power down the tablet, power it back up and hold both power and volume down buttons when the "samsung galaxy tab 10.1" logo comes visible
- Press volume up button to choose "Download mode"
- Start Odin on your computer, and select the Clockwork mod recovery file in the "bootloader" field
- Connect the tablet using the USB cable, Odin should recognize the device
- Press "Start" to begin the download
2) I transferred the four files listed in mabalito's thread to my tablets storage root folder
3) I booted the tablet to recovery mode
- (Power down, power up)
- Press volume down and power simultaneously when "galaxy tab 10.1" is visible
- Select recovery mode by first pressing power down, the pressing power up
- Select Wipe dalvik cache from advanced menu
- Select factory data wipe from the main menu
- Select apply update from sdcard
- Select apply update from .zip, repeat this step for files 1) GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-020712-maba, 2) GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-012912-maba-kernel-modules 3) Gapps 4) GT-P7500-CM9-KANG-maba-voicesearch-fix
4) Reboot the tablet, you should see the CM9/ICS bootscreen (it hung quite long there for me for some reason, and I got a bit worried, 15mins waiting just did the trick)
5) Enjoy! The ROM is awesome!

not sure why people aren't giving you a direct answer but here:
you don't need the recovery.img for that to work...i just tried it.
all you need to do is to go into the update.script in the zip file, and remove the line that says "get assert" or something like that with notepad...save....put back in the zip file (you may need to first unzip it for it to work....then re-zip it again.)
hope this is apples for you!

nope...just cm fixes and more settings.
So, the other night my Rezound slipped off a shelf and into the toilet. I pulled it out immediately, popped open the case and used a blow dryer on it, then stuck it in a bag of rice. The next day I stuck the battery in and it seemed to be working alright. Then I went to respond to a snapchat and found that the camera was not working. I thought maybe a simple restart might help, but the phone never restarted. I stuck it back in the bag of rice, thinking maybe their was still some moisture that could be pulled out. Today, after roughly 48 hours in the rice, I put the battery in, and it goes into the bootloop.
I pulled the SIM, tried going into recovery, factory reset, wipe cache, etc. Everything I can find on any forum does not work. I found a couple different PH89IMG.zip files, but after the bootloader analyzes them, it says that it can't do anything because they're older versions that what is on the device, which is "4.05.605.14 710RD" according to my wife's phone. I also downloaded the RUU, but the device has to be powered on for that to work, and it won't go past the white screen with green htc logo.
I would really love to resolve this without doing a factory reset, because there are a few things saved on the device itself that I can't really replace. Does anybody have any ideas for anything else I could try? Including maybe having the PH89IMG.zip file for the stock version of Android...
Is there a way that I could extract the PH89IMG.zip file from my wife's rezound, or utilize her phone in any way to repair my own?

You can edit the version.txt in the PH98IMG.zip to the same version as your wife's, that would get you around the mainver errors. Something tells me you did too much water damage and it's just dead though.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. It was working the next day, but then stopped after a restart. And it was only in the water for maybe 2 seconds, max. My wife's phone fell in a pool before, and got pulled out about a minute later, then worked after about 48 hours in rice.

So editing the version listed in the .txt file made it so it didn't hang up on loading the file, but then it just refreshed the main bootloader screen. When I select fastboot, or go to restart the phone, it's still hung up in the bootloop :crying:
I'm not up for an upgrade until November 1, so I've been using my OG Incredible...

Can you get to recovery? I see you have no recovery. You can try to fastboot a recovery.img, I am sorry but sounds like you screwed up your system, you will be lucky if it accepts a recovery. I deal with lots of broken phones in the business I am in and sorry to say once they are water damaged they 90 percent of the time they end up useless. If you need help with fastboot I will help.

How does one go about trying to "fastboot a recovery.img?" I'm very limited in my knowledge on these things...

You can follow the instructions at htcdev.com if you haven't yet unlocked your bootloader. After following the instructions they provide for you, you can download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381 and write it to the recovery partition via fastboot command. To finally flash it, make sure you're in the bootloader and you see "FASTBOOT USB". Hold the shift key and right-click, and click "Open command window here". Now place TWRP in the folder used to push the Unlock_code.bin (Contains fastboot.exe and is usually located at C:\Android or C\:fastboot) and type "fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery file).img. If you want, I can elaborate further.

This can be done on a Mac or Linux box as well, ADB is available for both, just substitute the appropriate filenames or commands for each OS.

So I finally got around to doing this, after buying a replacement phone off a guy on Craigslist, but I would still like to try and get this phone back up and running... I downloaded all the files and installed adb, etc. When I try to run the command, "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_2.6.3.0_Vigor_PH98IMG.zip" I get the following in the terminal:
sending 'recovery' (6323 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.464s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image error! (BootMagic check fail))
finished. total time: 1.780s
Any other ideas??

You don't flash the zip, extract the file and flash the recovery.img file.

Wipe, flash a ROM, and manually flash boot image... Other than that, could be toast.

Can it be a stock ROM, or would it have to be something like CyanogenMod?

I think its irrelevant at this point... Personally, I would use EclipticRez v9 or Tachyon as they are both rock solid ROMs. EclipticRez includes an Aroma installer script, so it might be a little easier (select S-ON and Lunar kernel).

I actually found this thread earlier - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632629 and followed the instructions, it was giving me some trouble around step 10 and kept going back into the bootloop. Then I tried it for probably the 5th time and it finally worked!! So the phone is back to full function now. I've been out of the house for a few hours, but it worked before your last reply literally right before I walked out the door.
Thank you SOOOO SOOOO SOOOOO much for the advice both on this thread and on that one I mentioned above (since it was also your instructions there)

The [semi] good news is that I found one on Craigslist (same phone because I really like it) for just $60 a couple days after I got fed up with using the OG Incredible. And the guy had 2 extra batteries, a case, and ghost armor on the screen as well. So now I have the original Rezound and the spare.
