[MOD] How to modify the splash screen - G2 and Desire Z Android Development

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834267
One reply in there is from a user who says they did this successfully on a DZ. Though I don't have my DZ yet, so haven't tried it myself.

Cool, thanks for sharing
On a sidenote, when are you getting yours ??
Man you must be anxious

Yeah I was initially waiting till permaroot/NAND unlock had been achieved. Now I pretty much need to bite the bullet, stump up the cash and get a shiny new phone
Edit - update, I just ordered my DZ, should be delivered tomorrow, woo-hoo

Im the guy who does this nicely so keep that in mind, but do you see that sticky in and how its says in Bold there is NO KNOWN WAY OF ROOTING 2.2, well as soon as it is rooted that will change, and for updates check that thread and dont post Q's. Its all in the sticky, people are ganna keep telling you look there, if the devs take their time to answer everybody personally it will take longer for root.
Dude if you want Root then buy a new EVO on eBay and sell your old one. You will come out losing 20$ but its worth it.
This is the quickest route.

Except it's getting harder every day to find a new one with 2.1 still on it. And it would be just my luck that I'd order one off Ebay (probably pay a lot because root is becoming such a high-ticket feature now) and then find out the next day that an exploit was found in the OTA.
Just wait it out. And yes, I'll change the sticky when there's something new to report. If you read the OP, I even updated yesterday to say that.

Take any vitamin B recently? Or something that might have caused you to flush your kidneys or your liver?
I'd have your doctor check that for you..

Galaxy Nexus Came rooted???

Hey,
I bought a Galaxy Nexus here in Vietnam and just realized that it is running a custom rom and has been rooted. The phone was new (no scratches and had the original plastic covering the screen)... My friends here tell me that iPhones are often sold jailbroken so I was wondering if this is normal here??? English is a major challenge so I'm not sure if I will be able to get more information from them...
Everything seems to be working totally fine... just curious.
Post a screen shot of settings/about phone. Do you have superuser apk installed?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Here you go...
Superuser is installed.
Not sure why the picture didn't work... here is a link.
In Vietnam beware of the originality of the phone. It's easy to reseal the phone/box/accessoires,etc.
Definitely they sold you an used item. Go back to the store to get a refund or exchange for real new one.
Hope it helps.

I agree, the OP got sold a used phone.
yeah, i was probably used, or possibly a refurbished phone.
i head of people getting a Certified like new replacement (refurbished) HTC thunderbolt that was rooted with a sense 3.5 ROM on it.
but the phone is def. not a NEW phone from samsung. also, being rooted, who knows what kind of tracking stuff could be on that phone. i would take it back and do the rooting process yourself just to make sure.

Eh, you could always just reflash the factory image instead. That'll pretty well get rid of anything that could be installed on the phone.
Or use fastboot -w to wipe it all and then reflash whatever you want to be on it.
Assuming all the hardware works, of course.

Do you like the food ?
either you paid a very good price and the phone works perfectly, in this case just flash a full official image. You can find them on code.Google.com
Either you paid the full price for a new one or it doesn't work or look fine, in that case I would go back to the shop and ask for a real new one or a refund

If the hardware is working fine then you can just unroot and flash back to stock and you'll be all good.

What is the store's name ? street ?
or, better yet. leave it rooted and install Adfree, Titanium Backup, RM, CWM, WiFi tether etc.... Unlock the bootloader right away while you're at it (since it'll do a wipe/reset) and then go flash some roms!

I can't believe they didn't lock that out! I was gonna wait for a Moto X Developer Edition if it didn't, but now this just makes me decision a little bit easier. I've had an HTC One as my work phone since it came out and I love it and I'll be getting a Moto X tomorrow but I don't know how long I'm keeping that job and this has been making my decision harder.
Another confirmation. Now I wonder if moonshine will work...
Why not confirm again. Just went through the process and unlocked my One as well.
Awesome news. That was the clincher. Purchased, picking up after work.

is the past is indicative of the future, unlock now while you can under "other devices"
both the inc4g and dna were able to utilize that to unlock for short periods of time after release, and both got locked out within 10 days-2 weeks
so for those that get the device, don't **** around...just unlock
urgh its like a race against time for me! I get home tomorrow and I'm picking it up around 6pm - I hope I can unlock immediately when I get home
Guys
Im not a dev, im coming from my rooted S3 and I always follow the directions you guys provide and have never had a n issue with my rooting and flashing.
Since i just bought the one should I follow the directions on youtube from and unlock or just sit tight until you guys put all this together....AND I do appreciate all that you guys do for us NON devs..

I just purchased the M8 hk edition and activated it. I haven't mess with an HTC phone since the evo 3d. I unlocked bootloader and rooted. I want to obtain s-off but everything I've researched looks like it either can't be done or you need to pay $25 for sunshine exploit... I can usually figure things like this out on my own, but I'm getting frustrated and would like some help. I've attached a screenshot of my phone info. If it's not possible as of yet, that is fine, just would like a clear answer. Thanks in advance.
Ps, this phone is nice!

Sunshine is the only 'paid' and working way.

There used to be other methods, but HTC patched those exploits. Sunshine is the only way now. If you take into consideration the time and broken phones it took for the Sunshine devs to get the method to S-Off out (If it was simple, other people would have posted their instructions here on XDA), $25 is a small price to pay. And believe me, S-Off makes everything easier. It is worth $25. Period.
I paid it lol. Thanks
Enjoy your S-OFF'ed device.

[Q] Rooting Verizon HTC One M9??

First of all, I just recently switched from IOS to Android so I don't know a lot of the correct terminology or parts of rooting yet. But, as I've searched around it seems there is no way to root the Verizon model of the htc one m9. All I want to do is be able to root my phone and get cyanogen mod 12. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
As of this moment, the only way is thru the use of a Java Card. There's a thread in this forum devoted to that, where you can get with one of the members that has a card and ship your phone to them for the procedure. Other than that, just waiting for beaups and jcase to get their method safe and available for public release. There's also a discussion on that.
Thank you so much for responding so quickly! I think I will just wait for the devs to release something. But, what would they be releasing and how can I keep an eye out for it?

You can also make an attempt at finding someone close to you who would be willing to meet, the procedure is quick and painless from what I hear and it will unlock your phone, it is called "S-Off" in the HTC world and allows you to unlock your bootloader to make the possibilities endless, giving the ability to flash custom ROM's and custom kernels. It is most definitely worth it.. Here is the thread for Java card
OK thanks! Maybe I can find someone on Craigslist to do this.
Please don't look on Craigslist. If you need root that bad, I know someone that can s-off your device with a Java card. Shipping costs both ways will be your responsibility though.

Every bad thing that has ever happened in the world started with this sentence...LMAO JK!
Not every but alot of them unfortunately.
I have never had a bad thing happen to me through Craigslist. Actually quite the opposite. I got deals I couldn't find anywhere else and I met people that were absolutely awesome! Actually the roommates I live with, I found through Craigslist and the job I currently have is because of Craigslist.
Of course 99% of the time you'll be fine but that other 1% will land you in a body bag. There have been a couple Craigslist transactions turned homicides on California in the past few years. If and when I do buy or sell something on Craigslist, I always meet in a very busy public place and bring someone with me. Can't be too careful these days sad to say.

Try ping-pong root in the Samsung s6 thread. Beta 6 will root the m9??
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Premium HD app
Simple root on this phone won't really be of much use to the regular user with the way write protection is on this device. The real deal will only arrive when s-off and unlocked bootloader happens.

Can you send me info on this? I have been holding off on the M9 since there's no root. If I can get S-Off for just the shipping costs (cheaper than Sunshine when it becomes available), I'd pick up an M9 ASAP.

Would you work for free? No.... It's common courtesy to tip the person who bought a several hundred dollar Java card for their time and effort.

I could have sworn I read that the Sunshine would work on the Verizon M9, but since there is no root, it doesn't get past the initial part of the Sunshine process... I very likely am mistaken though since all other variants were unlockable on HTCdev.
