Im running CM6 and running into problems. I have done the push and pull on advanced and terminal. I ended up with no boot screen just the white screen with HTC evo 4g. So I tried and bought root explorer. I did rename the zips to bootanimation.zip and tried 2 seperate ones and can't get it to work.
I dis a nand restore and got the roms boot screen back up. Then I looked at where was said to put the zip and none of them had the zip. Just the /system/media has it. I was told to put it in /data/local/, /system/media, /system/custom. Each place I read was different. So I tried all three. Since I did a recover I don't have /system/custom anymore.
Anyways I looked through every folder and /system/media is the only one that had the zip. So I put a "f" after the zip when I renamed and didn't delete it if something goes wrong. I placed my custom one I downloaded of the sticky. Reboot and it had a boot screen different than the one I installed. Saidel android with a light glare going across the words. Deleted the custom zip and changed old zip back. Have no bootscreen now.

I can't seem to get my custom boot screens to work. When I do advanced or terminal I get no errors or anything.. everything goes smooth like butter to I try to see if it works and never does. Is this a problem with cm6? Anyone else on cm6 have a custom bootscreen to work? Are there certain ones that work only on 2.2 or 2.1? I tried the android pissing on the iPhone apple and the dancing android. Both didn't work. Still have no boot screen other than the white evolution 4g one.

I tried the bootanimation.zip for the Droid that he had on the post using adb. That worked the first time. Not sure why the other 2 wouldn't work but now have a boot screen

Well i installed clockwork i think that's what's it called. My brain fried this afternoon. Anyways. Im having problems after install. Everytime i reboot my phone it automatically reboots to clockwork. So i have to end up hitting reboot again. So is there a fix to this or? I have bootstrap installed does that affect it when it reboots? I've search the forums and.no luck. Thx

Try reinstalling Bootstrap app.
IMO I like that it does that..if something happens with your phone ide, much rather have it booting up into a recovery that I can nandroid from... then having it go to a bad android install

Clockwork recovery and bootstrap. Should i have both or just bootstrap?

I'm pretty sure that Clockwork Recovery only shows up if you booted your phone and the Android OS never loaded. As in, if you get stuck on the M logo or get a boot loop, or if you just pull your battery before you load up Android, then Clockwork will show up next time your phone boots since the file created when booting initially will still be there. Yet, if you boot up into Android, the file is deleted and a reboot at that point will simply reboot the phone normally.
I remember reading that the file is created on boot, then deleted once you get to Android. If you never boot up into Android for any reason, then the file isn't deleted. As a result, a reboot with the file still there will cause Clockwork to come up.
I was having the same issue as OP. It got annoying when I was trying out some new boot animations and such. I'm glad it's working alright, but I didn't need to constantly see it for no reason lol. I think the problem was that I was rebooting too early. I just tried this whole process just now and Clockwork came up even though I booted into Android. I tried it all again but waited a while this time. I gave Android time to load up all of my widgets, etc., then I rebooted. Clockwork didn't come up the second time, so I think that was the issue. Whatever process that deletes the file probably wasn't given a chance to do so the first go around.
I finally got my "Alltel Bee" rooted last nite using super one click. Before I roll out any custom roms etc, I'd like to make sure I get a backup, and my phone is hanging on the alltel logo whenever I try to boot into recovery (whether I boot in from Rom manager or from Hboot.) I always end up pulling the battery and rebooting the phone.
I do have an idea as to how I got to this point, and I have only myself to blame, but in my frustration of trying to root this thing I did try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743289 and recovery has hung like this ever since.
I've got root now, and have installed Rom manager, used that to flash clockwork recovery, yet I still have the issue. After a few google searches, I've seen some suggest that fixing file permissions can fix this, and I've done that as well with no change.
Where do I turn next?
So after some more searching and reading and such, I've discovered that even though I have root access, booting into HBOOT shows S-ON still. Could this be the issue in my inability to get a recovery written? Anyone know how to deal with it?
How do you know it is a hang in recovery? If you see the triangle and nothing happens, just click the power button once and usually you will land in the recovery mod menu.
I don't get the triangle at all. I get the initial Alltel logo and that's it. I've waited several minutes before pulling the battery before, but I don't get to the triangle or the menu.
Super one click will only do a temp root. There are no hard roots for the bee that i am aware of. DO NOT TRY UNREVOKED AS IT IS FOR THE BUZZ AND COULD YOUR BEE OR A FROYO BUZZ

Doh! Thanks, I guess I'll wait patiently. (My network switches from Alltel to AT&T inside of 2 months, at which time I'll be provided an Aria.)
Still, it would be nice to customize this thing a bit before it turns into an mp3 player

I have an Epic myself and the security of this new HTC phone threw me for a loop. Anyway , I was trying to put CM7 on his phone , starting from stock. I managed to get CWM 3.0.0.5 on it and then flashed the CM7 from here. Now it is stuck on the white Tmobile screen , Ive let it sit therefor an hour and nothing. But the real problem is that I cant find a way to restore to stock and start over. With the Epic we use a windows program called ODIN in case something like this happens. Ive tried using ADB but the phone is showing offline so I cant push any commands to it. Is there an app like ODIN that will let me factory reset this phone and try this again? Thanks

Sounds like you rooted and flashed CM7 onto it without having s-off. If I'm not mistaking there is another thread similar to this one somewhere. Also you need cclockwork 3.0.0.6 to flash back and fourth from stock and other roms.
you need pd15img.zip on your SD
pd15img.zip reboot into hboot with that file and the part7-0000000000.bin file on your sd and it will load and ask you to push volume up to confirm then wait, it will restore the phone i know i did it, took me 3 damn days to figure out you need that part7.bin file on your sd with that pd15img.zip file...or its a no go, trust me this WILL def work...its a life saver, i did the same thing you did...had clockwork and no s=off...now i successfully restored it and sent it back to tmobile because before i solved it i panic and called for a replacement, told em it wont turn on, they sent the new one, and about 20 mins ago i flashed cm7 after folling this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996 to turn s=off...works great good luck
Where do i get the part7 file and the other one? Thank you

It was creates with you permanent rooted it.. should be on your SD card. In the rooting instructions it tells you to keep that file around.

Just make sure that u dnt keep tryin to flash the rom cause u gonna end up gettin the cant mount cache & data errors,which once that happens nothin can b done with the mt4g.. So if u used the gfree method to root the phone u should have the part7-xxxxxxxx.bin file,stick that to the root of the sd card & put the pd15 file to the root of the sd card,powerdwn or battery pull,reboot into recovery & let the phne do its thing..
I don't think he has that part7-xx......bin file for his mt4g phone since he did not run gfree patch. You can't do stock nandroid restore also because that requires CWM 2.5.1.4 but you can always give it a shot.
Good luck with your boss, hope you don't get fired.

I didn't use the gfree method for getting perm root.
So i never got that part7 file that you speak of....
I have found them online to download but even using someone elses i still doesnt load the .zip from hboot :{
I downloaded the glacier file , like 350 MB or something , renamed it to PD15IMG.ZIP (had to leave the .zip out because windows). Then I found the part7.bin file from another thread. Put both on sd card. Vol down and power, it found the pd15img file and started restoring the image. 15 minutes later the phone boots up just like brand new! Thank you to everybody who helped with this! Sometimes I dont know what i'd do without this place!
P.s.- he still wants gingerbread any suggestions as to best rom?
Thanks again everyone

I think you made a fine choice with CM7. Just make sure you are rooted and have flashed the latest clockworkmod through ROM manager (3.0.2.4 I believe) and it should flash without issue.
I came from a Droid Incredible and before that the Eris (all HTC devices). It was simple to change the boot animation on those, all that needed to be done was copy and paste your new bootanimation with Root Explorer into the system/media folder. I came to the Droid X a month ago and was told that was not exactly possible. Was informed the bootanimations needed to be flashed in recovery. I have been doing that because I could not find the actual bootanimation.zip in the system files.
I loaded the Official .596 update yesterday that was posted by p3droid. Today, I noticed that the bootanimation.zip is now located in the system/media folder. Downloaded a new bootanimation, copied and pasted into that folder (overwrite is necessary) and booted right up.
I am not sure if this is any "new" thing with the .596 update, like I said I searched EVERY file in the previous 2.2.1 and could not find ANY "bootanimation.zip" file. I did find other bootanimation files..but no zip.
Again, not sure if this is new to the .596. I was told when I got the droid X (2.2.1) there was only one way to install a new bootanimation.
There are also zip files you can flash clockwork to change boot animation.
I flashed 596 yesterday and my animation stayed the way I had it, but I used team black hat's app to jump from 595. , I did have to flash crt animation again and droid x 2 sounds again, and re freeze bloat and re install busy box, but I think thats it. Pretty simple stuff.
DX 2.3.3

Sounds like alot! Lol. Only meant by my post it seems that with the. 596 update Motorola made it easier to just copy and paste. Seems like Motorola promising to make development easier (without additional apps) is starting to show. To change bootanimation now..all you need it root access and any file manager. Even the preloaded file manager will do the trick.

I have both froyo and tbh (2 method) on my x's. In both cases root explorer works (at least with the animations I've downloaded; about 15). You just have to rewrite the one you want to bootanimation.zip (change out old one to bootanimation.bak), reboot phone, and it's up. I'm sure there are others ways to do this, but I've always used root explorer and never had to flash into recovery.

You can also put bootanimation.zip in /data/local/

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, because its a request not a question... sorry if its not.
I need the stock splash screen for mytouch 4g. I changed it to the nexus s Google splash screen when I switched to cm7. I need to unroot it to use the insurance for a replacement. My power button stopped working and the micro-usb port only charges occasionally now. Any help with this would be awesome. I tried searching but I have to from my phone at the moment and that makes it pretty difficult to sift through countless xda pages. Lol.

Look in the theme section, there's multiple threads on splash screens. I'm pretty sure, one of them had the stock one.
From my fist to your face, enjoy.
Go to the theme thread in the 4g section. If not, unroot. U should have the stock splash screen.

Even if he unroots, it'll still be what ever he changed it to. You can flash roms left an right, but that'll still always be the same. The location of the splash screen file is different then where we have our roms located.

I backed up everything from when I first flashed a new rom, including the splash.
Here's a link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YE603C62
Here's how to change it though you should already know:
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!!!
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.

Thank you. I downloaded and unrared the file. But I can't seem to get it with terminal emulator. I typed the commands exactly, and even tried modifying them as my phone shows /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmcblk0op19
Any ideas?
#AngelFace#
Before there's a need to ask. I unrared it and put the custom.img in the root folder of my sdcard.
