S-OFF is essential with ENG hboot
Features:
Multiple flashes without closing the application.
Deletes all used files leaving you with nothing more than what you had to start with.
Fully automatic, users only need to create a splash image or locate a recovery, hboot, or radio img.
Unified interface.
Coded entirely in C#
Now supports BMP, PNG, and JPEG images. Not just BMP like NBIMG.
Usable on your Desire, Desire Z, Desire HD, EVO 4g, EVO 3D, Desire S, Incredible S, Thunderbolt, Wildfire S or Sensation.
The application checks image dimensions and the file sizes of splash images to prevent any errors.

Requirements for use:

What the application does:
This application flashes the specific parts of your device, ie. Bootloader, Recovery, Splash screen, and Radio.
It has taken many hours and much extensive research and testing on multiple devices to make a straightforward, efficient and reliable program to offer you the freedom in device customisation you are otherwise denied.
The app allows you to quickly customise your device in a way that is simple and alot goes on behind the scenes to guarantee you don't get caught with error messages.
The splash screen is the image before the boot animation, (by default the white HTC logo.) With this application you can change it in under a minute.

Refund required - still dont work.
Dan,
this doesnt work either. It has the same old errors as the old "pro" version. I suggest you give this away for free until you have something to sell (i.e. it works), otherwise you are just ripping people off. I have previously reported problems which are still not fixed here. I have paid to be a system tester, and you keep supplying versions with the same errors in it. I have sent you an email requesting a refund for my purchase of the previous version. Please provide a refund!
And before you ask, I will not provide you with any details of the errors. You should find them, before taking peoples money. I am fed up with finding and reporting errors to you which do not get resolved.

Dude i gave you the fix.zip and I updated the links for you. I even told you to extract the zip in the root directory of AndroidFlasher.exe.
Hi Dan,
I too am not happy I have asked a few qusetions and to date no answer. Below i will post the problem I have and hope that some one might be able to help me. Also below is an e mail I sent you asking for help the problem I have.
Hi Daniel,
Thank you for a speedy response. I have followed the instructions and the flasher is installed and starts ok. Have a few problems, advice would be appreciated.
Phone: HTC desire, Baseband version 32.49.00.32u.5.11.05.27 software number 2.14.207.3 android version 2.2 h.boot version 1.02
During a flashing process using RUU file the phone is stuck in HTC mode with the 4 warning triangles in the corners.
On receiving your flasher, I have tried it and can't get anything to work. When I press the flash button, the program just hangs and nothing is happening.
Can you please advise Daniel on how I can rectify the problem, or you can point me in the right direction for proper files and instructions.
I do thank you for your time in advance.
Kind regards
Bish

I used its to flash splash screen, work so fine and easy, thank you so much
Please people do not post personal or spam images as splash screens. Try to make them abstract so other people may be able to use them if they like the images. If you post personal images or spam images, lets face it, no-one would want to use those images. Not to mention some of the images are massive and not the right dimensions to be splash screens anyways. I've said this once before but the Splash Screen images function provided is funnily enough for splash screens only preferably those which can be used by other people. Don't bother uploading images that are not worth it. Its a waste of bandwidth and ours and our users time.
I'm not trying to be rude or anything but please think about the people who genuinely want to use this function.
i haven't received the next email for 2.0.6

For those who haven't bothered to read the READ THIS BEFORE POSTING announcement by our SiteAdmin Flar, now would be a good time to read it.
A few things you should keep in mind before posting to XDA-Developers forums:
Check if your question has been asked beforeSome questions just keep popping up over and over. Please use the 'search function' in the menu above each and every page in the forum. Try entering a few keywords to see if your question has been asked before. If it has, please read the topics and see if you can figure it our from there. You can also search inside a topic if it has too many comments by using the search function (CTRL+F) in your browser. If you don't find the answer, please post a comment to the relevant thread instead of starting a new one.RTFW, or Read the WikiChances are your question is already answered on the wiki: Make sure you browse through the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) before you start a new topic. If it's an obvious or common question, chances are someone has already put the answer there.ETFW, or Edit the WikiInformation stored in the wiki is dynamic: The wiki makes it easy for anyone to contribute or edit pages, and link them together, it is the best way to keep all information current and accurate. If you ask something in the forum which you didn't find on the wiki previously, please take 5 minutes of your time to EDIT the wiki and add the information there when you get an answer. This is the only way to avoid tons of new threads asking the very same questions over and over and over again.
Don't be afraid of editing the wiki if you don't understand the wiki syntax: Formating may seem a bit complicated at the beginning, but you don't have to care too much if you just want to add content, add it as if you were writing a text document and sure someone more experienced with wiki syntax will edit it after and correct the bad formating mistakes.First time here?If it's your first time here, we encourage you to read general XDA-Developers guidelines too, which is an extended version of what has already been said here.

***WELCOME***
Welcome everyone who has a question, but just can't seem to find an answer. My hope is that this thread will reduced the extremely large number of new threads being created for every little issue each user is having. The rules are very simple. Please follow them, as it's just not that hard.
1) Absolutely NO FLAMING. I am completely inflexible on this rule. If i catch you do it, you will get an xda vacation (will be banned, in case you don't get it). Also, just to be clear, "use the search function" is not an acceptable answer in this thread.
2) Before you post you MUST read THIS. Trust me, I will know if you didn't.
3) Anyone can post any issue they're having with their Dream in this thread, but you MUST include a detailed description of your issue. If after a couple days your issue has not been addressed, please feel free to bump it.
4) Remember you are asking for help, and the as the saying goes "it's easier to catch flies with honey than vinegar. So be nice to those who are helping you.
5) Please quote the person you are replying to, it will make it MUCH easier for people to sort through the many messages that will end up in here.
6) If you find your Question answered, find your original Post and change the font colour of the text into dark green. And at the bottom of the question post either provide a link to the answer or Quote the answer,
This way it can be easier for any moderator to delete Clutter so the thread can be easily searched and read by other users.
This is an experiment based on a suggestion by other users, so we will see how it goes. If all goes well then i hope that this thread will be a great help to many new members. If not then we will make adjustments. I want to thank all those who will be contributing to this forum for their time in advance.
Note: If you feel your thread has been moved here in error, please PM a Moderator politely and ask them to move the related posts back into their own thread. Sometimes the wrong threads get moved here by accident. Please also provide a clear explanation of why you think this topic deserves it's own thread. Angry tirades and rants will be of no use, and will more likely than not simply get you a warning or a ban.

i adjusted it thanks.
there's one thing i think is flawed about these types of threads on various forums. the thing is, only the people who have questions will go to this thread. nobody is gonna be like 'alright, i'm ready to help some people out, so let me go to this thread and read questions for 20 mins'
that's just my opinion.

Have you seen these?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=456
There's a whole team of users and Moderators that spend a lot of time answering questions.
Q's
1) How can I add the Dream to the list of avail. devices on my HTC Dev tool?
2) Ever since I reinstalled Vista, I haven't been able to use my SDK. DDMS is not functioning, and USB driver no longer recognizes as Android phone or HTC Dream. (CMD opens, then closes instantly.) I need the Emulator to finish a project, also I cannot take screen shots of work.
3)How do I sign packages in Vista 32bit once they are complete?
4)Is there any alternate method of simulating an SD card for the purpose of development? (like maybe using an actual SD in an SD card reader.)
Thanx.
EDIT: Replies via AIM also welcome.

Sorry I can't answer all your questions but...
2) I had a tough time with the drivers also. What i did was open Device manager while connect to USB. If your drivers aren't working you should see something that says 'Other Devices' or something like that with a warning for incorrect drivers. right click device and uninstall the drivers. Since your old drivers dont seem to be working download them again (if you are using Vista 32 bit then u need x86 drivers) and refresh your devices. You should get something asking you about installing drivers, point Vista to the x86 folder and you should be all set. It should be the same for installing fastboot drivers too
EDIT: Not sure if your new to Vista but to find the command prompt you can type "CMD" in the search index of the start menu and it'll pop up. Just in case you didn't know
4) Im not exactly sure what you mean. What exactly are you trying to do? Make an app or script for SD and G1 using only your comp?

using adb or the terminal/shell on your g1? I only know how to do that from the adb. If you have the apk on ur sdcard already just find it using a file explorer (astro, linda, OI file manager) and click on it. should be able to install from there

another way I do it when I biffed somehow is using a usb adapter (or regular sd card adapter) to access the micro sd card from the phone, I turn the phone off, remove the card, connect it to my computer, drag and drop the update on the sd card, then Home+Power it on and shazam! it's ready to go!

Well no offense, cuz I used to make this mistake - but is your computer set to "hide extensions of known file types" because it may not be labeled "update.zip" it could be update.zip.zip or something.
just a possible simple solution
[Q] I thinik this goes here
MY QUESTION: When did I get 5 home screens?
It says questions and answers here, so here goes, I have kept my G1 (now an adp running JFv1.51) up to date with the latest radios (until they didn't work right) and roms and love swapping themes when I find a new one I like.
I recently tried to do a theme that I had just found (can't remember which one...) and it loaded, but the phone wouldn't boot right, it got stuck past the G1 screen and before the actual GUI. So, I bailed that theme and loaded another theme (magic). then just yesterday I realized that I could scroll past what I thought was the far right screen for 2 more screens...
So I am wondering if it has to do with a theme that someone added 2 more screens to my phone or if one of the rom updates had it and I missed it in the version history update
Thanks!

In short yes. If you didn't put a new ROM on your phone then most likely the theme added more home screes

I know this won't effect most people, but I know it has others. So, just an FYI for all the chefs and lay people, there is a massive problem (supposedly anyway) with EVERY FroYo leak that Samsung has put out. And as a result, it seems to effect all of the custom roms.
What is it? The android_id number is the same on EVERY device with that rom. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is if an app (like Kik Messenger) uses that ID as part of other things.
How can you fix it? Here are some instructions (assuming you use root explorer):
Using some sort of root file explorer, copy the /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db to your sdcard.
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /sdcard/settings.db
sqlite3 /sdcard/settings.db
insert into secure ('name','value') values ('android_id','device_id_goes_here');
.exit
copy /sdcard/settings.db back to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/
touch and hold on the file you just copied and click permissions. Make sure that the ONLY boxes that are checked are user/group read and write. Uncheck any others.
reboot

Make sure to change the bold part of the command. This can be just some random 16 character hex value.
Props go to Hanness for his original post that lead me to a solution.
For chefs, here is a bug report about it.

I wouldn't have offered up this solution, if that actually worked. Tried it on even a stock rom, and it fails. So, no, you can't. It doesn't request SU permission till AFTER the app tries to make function calls. Which causes the whole process to fail. As such, that app does NOT work to fix this. And SQLite Editor doesn't work either, because it doesn't seem to see a DB in the folder.
I spent lots of time yesterday (had to flash back to stock when I broke it) and a bit today working on this till it finally did work.

Lol how you gonna tell me it doesn't work? I use it everytime I install a custom rom. I have to use it because if I don't imobsters doesn't work and I always play that game. If it doesnt work for you you have to get busybox from the market and install that then use android id changer. So yes you can.
One more thing you do is get your original android Id that you have on your stock rom and use that one with it.

What error are you getting? The process I use is dloading id changer onto the working 2.1 rom. Open it. Copy the id (exactly as it reads) onto a paper or other source. Dload id changer and busybox onto new 2.2 rom. Open id changer, type in old id. Click "change id". Has worked flawlessly for me every flash. Thanks for providing an alternate method.

I like them and wish I could get any if them to install but I just have no luck. I've tried multiple times and get as far as the progress screen and then it just sits and sits then gives me an error message and the recovery steps. Guess I'm stuck with the pink T-Mobile stick together screen. It's making me crazy.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Do you have HSPL 2.08 installed? If not, then just like with custom roms, you won't be able to install...
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App
Yep, I have it installed. I'm running the Blue Topia HD(2) nand build so I have everything installed that I'm supposed to have installed but I still can't change that damned boot screen from the pink stick together. I've tried a couple of yours and a few others from other people but still no luck.
I've even tried that version where you flash it from your sd card by putting the .nbh on the sd card and booting into bootloader with the sim out and the sd card in and that didn't even work. It's gotten very frustrating.
Then I'm out of ideas... everytime I've installed them I've been running WM6.5, NRG ROM to be specific. It doesn't change after that, so I haven't tried afterwards... other than maybe try to install after flashing an energy Rom, then once it's installed go back to MAGLDR and Android, I really don't know what to tell you, never encountered anyone having difficulties with this before...

If you don't mind, I borrowed one of your pics from the link in your to your other stuff and made a nice looking boot screen.
Edit: I was finally able to get the bootscreen changed. I must've went for the standard 2.08 intead of the 2.08HSPL. After I switched it, I was able to change my bootscreen.
Awesome boot animations mate thanks alot keep up the good work.
very good work
Thanks. I"ll try later. Good work !!

Thanks for your splash screens. Just wondering: would you (or anyone else gifted enough) be able to create the splash screen above with an Android home screen? I tried it myself but I can't reproduce the glossy shine over the surface. Would be greatly appreciated if anyone could it do it for me. I don't care whether it's a stock Froyo or Froyo Sense home screen, I'd just prefer this over the WinMo home screen.
Thanks in advance.

When I get a chance to get on my laptop in the next day or 2, I'll see what I can do. Maybe while they are unloading my trailer this morning, I can fire up my laptop and work on it. PM me with the the image or for my email address so I can see what I can do.
Edit: I see what you're saying, you want the phone in the picture to have an Android home screen instead of a WinMo home screen. That'll take some more effort to do.
Have you checked out the thread by Mskip under HD2 Android General. His thread has boot screens featuring both WP7 and Android bootscreens and he made a bootscreen for someone that may be waht you're looking for.

OTA updates on unlocked bootloader 5.1
I've got a turbo that I unlocked using sunshine and put on twrp and SuperSU. Now it keeps downloading an update and I can't seem to stop it. While I can delete the downloaded file it keeps coming back and giving the full screen "update ready" prompt.
Unless I am mistaken I should not take the OTA. I tried the FOTAkill.apk route but that hasn't stopped it from downloading the update file.
What can I do at this point? It is driving me crazy. I don't really want a different ROM as I like the stock moto feature and don't want to kill camera performance.
Thanks!
Put a .bak at the end of the apk. Then reboot
Just to be clear I should put that at the end of the OTA .apk after it downloads?
No your phone already has the apk on it and by adding the .bak to the end your phone will no longer look for updates. I feel foolish for not mentioning that CF does amazing work with the stock based ROM, it's definitely worth checking out. I have had zero issues with his rom and am thankful he shares his work with us because my phone just keeps running better and better. Thank you CF!
It seems to have worked! Thank you!
anybody know how to downgrade to .44 from .49???
Unfortunately you can't.
Bootloader and root
I have been trying to find a reliable means to unlock my bootloader so i can root my droid turbo. Unfortunately i found this site after ota updates that i thought were manditory to keep my phone running smoothly. Now that i realize my noob mistake everything i have been finding seems to indicate its too late to fix anything now. my build is past the 44_44 is there a way to unlock the bootloader even a paid way would work for me as long as it will work. Im a bit reluctant to spend money on things im not possitive will work especially since unlocking bootloaders and rooting is frowned upon by some. im also worried that if i purchase something that doesnt work ill be unable to get a refund due to the nature of what i am purchasing. If anyone can offer ideas that i havnt considered to unlock my bootloader or maybe even root without it i would greatly appreciate it. even if there are some experimental things i could try id be willing to donate if the process works to accomplish what i am trying to do. thanks in advance and if there is no way to do this i understand fully.

Turbo now 3G
Please be kind, have a Droid Turbo on Page Plus, all stock, running fine for a few months with 4G. Yesterday I thought I would be really smart and do the *22890 programming. Now I have a 3G Turbo. Customer service saying they can be of no help, "I shouldn't have used the programming on my 4G device." Is there a fix to return the Turbo to 4G? My apologies if this is the wrong place for this question.

I don't know the answer but I don't believe the Turbo required special programming (like some older Motorola phones) to work with Pageplus .
So the issue is the on the Phone or On the sim card.
Guess I would reflash the firmware with RSD Lite, if that doesn't fix it, get a new sim card.
Another option, swap sim cards with someone else, you don't need to tell Page plus, just needs to be a nano sim compatible phone
Ether the sim car works in other phones or not, I switch devices fairly often, and have used the current sim card in 6+ devices (really have't kept track)
What system version/ build version is on the phone?

I don't know the answer but I don't believe the Turbo required special programming (like some older Motorola phones) to work with Pageplus .
So the issue is the on the Phone or On the sim card.
Guess I would reflash the firmware with RSD Lite, if that doesn't fix it, get a new sim card.
Another option, swap sim cards with someone else, you don't need to tell Page plus, just needs to be a nano sim compatible phone
Ether the sim car works in other phones or not, I switch devices fairly often, and have used the current sim card in 6+ devices (really have't kept track)
What system version/ build version is on the phone?

Was told by Page Plus the programming was not for a 4G device, that I turned it into a 3G device. The system version is 23.21.49.quark_verizon.verizon.en.US.vzw, and the build is SU4TL-49. Thanks for your response!

I'm sure Pageplus customer service has no idea how to flash the firmware, or what that does.
The bootloader is locked? if yes just flash the SUTL-49 firmware with RSD Lite

If the bootloader is unlocked you could try just installing the STUL-49 radio in TWRP
This Is My First Shot at making something for this device,so please bear with me.
This Is A Custom Stock ROM that has been debloated and slimmed down a bit to my personal liking.
ive used SuperR's Kitchen on Ubuntu to bring this to you guys.
i used Captain_Throwbacks Metro Base ROM as a starting point.
i will include my list of apps that i have removed in the second post.
i would suggest a factory reset and dalvik/ART wipe
as always,if your device explodes or stops working,i assume no responsibility for any damages or data loss.
flash at your own risk.
if anyone has any suggestions and/or input,please feel free.
im no developer,just taking a shot at this.
the goal is to remove as much bloatware as possible,whilst maintaining stability.
:highfive:
i added /data/app support as well as busybox & deodexed the ROM.
im currently uploading my first build to google drive and will share links shortly.
bear with me as i dont have the best internet connection.

(Possibly) remove More files/Free up more space
upload newer build as first one fail with status 7 in recovery.(assert error)
Check my build and compare to yours to see what can be removed. I'm sure you will find a lot more that can be done.

Yeah it's required
Just looking at channel log I'm assuming this is still relevant. I'm on V3 and with some frustration (I don't have Wi-Fi and had to trick my 6yr old laptop to boot up) I got it running well.
As someone who has hard bricked smart phones since the xv6800, this is a first good go. Inspires me to start cooking my own roms.
Suggestion: A file browser would have made it so much smoother. No one with half a brain will ***** about es file explorer or root browser being cooked in. Fortunately bad habits inspired me to always backup original stock. Most people would've been screwed there. Dirty flash. Pdanet. Got it all up and going.
Keep up the good work. Look forward to any tweakings you find out of my league
Sincerely,
Satisfied end user

Thank you for the input,much appreciated.also,i updated OP with a newer build that uses nova launcher as default and puts back a few apks that got cutout by mistake.
My phone got simlocked after trying this ROM. It's still locked even after restoring the nanodroid backup I made prior to flasing this ROM.
I'm not in the US sooo I am not using sprint.
Any advice?
Thanks

This ROM is based off of the original Stock MetroPCS USA variant,i didnt add anything that would potentially affect your simlock status.ive only removed stuff that was already there.
If youre not in the US and youre not using MetroPCS Variant of the phone,you shouldnt be flashing this ROM to be 100% honest.flashing incompatable firmwares across devices can sometimes lead to bricks.whats your Carrier and device?

That APK will just crash,as the required lib files etc to accompany the APK are missing.

I agree. It's very unusual.
I got this phone from a local phone shop. The owner seem to have unlocked the phone with some kind of service. I contacted my carrier who wrote down a couple of numbers from inside the phone (including the original phone number) and boom, I was able to use the phone with my number.
I have a theory about the error. Maybe you could see if that makes sense:
Maybe the phone isn't locked. But after a factory reset it keeps trying to "activate" the phone using the methods given by sprint.
There's this one step during the initial setup (right after factory resetting the phone) where it tries to register the phone, and fails. This step takes at least tem minutes and returns an error that locks up the phone.
I think the phone assumes that it's locked because it's not able to "reach" sprint servers and denies all incoming and outgoing calls/messages because of this.
If you know a way out of this please let me know.
Another user also provided me with an app that seems to be solving the issue. But it's not marshmallow compatible. Any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks a lot. And great debloating work you did there

Again,what is your Carrier?if youre using anything other than MetroPCS USA,you should not use this ROM.thats #1.#2 is if youre using sprint,you should get the RUU to return the phone to factory software,and i assume youre using sprint because our Metro devices havent gotten MM yet,and you mentioned it.
And yes,CDMA/Sprint phones will not work correctly if theyre not provisioned from the carrier correctly.so if the activation is failing,then youre not going to be able to use the device to send messages etc until its activated correctly.
Suggestion,try using nightbreeds MM ROM thats for those kinds of carriers.

Oh lesson learned. I'm from Yemen and my carrier is YemenMobile (CDMA). I don't know why but I assumed that the phone won't mind the ROM since it was kinda unlocked. SORRY.
The phone was saying Sprint when I bought it. I think I'm going to get back to factory and see if that does the trick. :-/
My extended apologies
