This is my 1st actual post for development...so I hope you enjoy what I have to give!
I know this isn't long, since this isn't a ROM, so there aren't any changelogs or that kind of stuff.
Basically what this is, is a myTouch 4G radio flasher, it automatically puts your desired Radio onto you SD Card without you having to type it.

This is NOT an apk.
This file has a .rar extension. I have checked this package.
Two files:
1) READ THIS FIRST!.txt
Instructions!!:
1. You MUST have already downloaded AndroidSDK, if not, search it on Google.
2. MUST HAVE S-OFF FOR THIS TO WORK!
3. Download your desired Sensation Radio and rename it to PD15IMG.zip(if not already named that)
4. Put the Radio(.zip file) into your C:/AndroidSDK/platform-tools/ directory(if not, rename the SDK tools folder to AndroidSDK)
5. Once you've done that, plug your myTouch 4G in your USB port and put charge only on the phone.
6. Double-click the Batch file in the folder and wait for it to do its magic.
7. Once it's done rebooting into bootloader, wait a bit and some green lettering should come up.
8. After a few seconds, it should find the Radio, if it does, just press the Volume UP button to start the update(it's either
Volume UP or another button, should say).
9. Once update is complete, reboot and enjoy your new Radio!

2) MT4G Radio Flash.bat
Code:
@echo off

cd C:/AndroidSDK\platform-tools/
adb push PD15IMG.zip /sdcard/PD15IMG.zip

echo Now rebooting into bootloader...
echo ---------------------------------------------------------------------
cd C:/AndroidSDK/platform-tools/
adb reboot bootloader
echo DONE! :)
pause
exit
Conclusion:
This is a bat file for WINDOWS USERS.
It needs the SDK installed or adb(android debug bridge) in it's PATH!
It will only place the modified PD15IMG.zip on the sdcard so that when it reboots into bootloader/spl(second partition loader) it reads and updates the device.
**Remember, if you use this method, you must erase the PD15IMG.zip from the sdcard root directory. What happens is if you don't erase it, every time you reboot/boot into the spl, it will read the PD15IMG.zip and update it again.**

Why would you need to do all that when you can simply download a radio in our thread put it on the root of sdcard and boot into bootloader? Waste of time and the o.p clearly did something wrong to get banned

1kb file is probably just a small script... Don't judge an app like this by it's small size, text files are never really huge. If it's a script with 3 simple lines, then it makes sense.
I haven't looked at it myself... But I suggest you all keep flashing as you normally did. It's not complicated.
the thing is, why would you need an App to flash the radio when the device can do it via HBoot?
that was already strange in itself....

Moreover, the major problem is that there isn't any reference to md5 checksum whatsoever- Flashing a corrupted radio file could result in major headache.
The OP should add this into the instructions (between steps 3 and 4), and could also be nice if the script could also include md5 checking...

That'll be kinda hard since the OP has been banned (at least for now), but yeah lack of MD5 verification was the first thing I thought of when I read the description.
you know what's easy? Download all the radio files putting each one in a separate folder. Verify MD5 so you know you have good downloads. Put all those folders in a "Radio" folder on your SD card. Then you just copy the one you need into the root directory of your SD card when you need to reflash.
Not sure why you'd need a script for this.

I don't need a script for this, I was just trying to find some justification for the OP's post, which actually does almost nothing other than push a non-checked file.
Anyway, op is banned and we added to the thread a warning to check md5 for whoever reads this.. probably more than enough.

Thought I would post as I'm not sure if anyone has tried this yet but I used the nexus 1 bootloader anamation found here and it works perfectly.
So for anyone who wants to do it them selves heres a guide once you have rooted your desire follow these steps.
1. Put the nexus-bios-boot.zip onto your sd card.
2. Load up into ubuntu.
3. Turn off your desire.
4. Turn it on again while holding down the 'volume down' button this time. The screen will look similar to before, but will say 'HBOOT' instead of 'FASTBOOT'. Use the volume buttons and the power button to select the 'RECOVERY' option. You should then see a screen with a red triangle - at this point, plug it into your usb.
5. Now you need to unzip the 'push files' zip that you downloaded.
6. copy pushfiles folder to the desktop
7. open terminal
8. type this into the terminal window
Code:
cd ~/Desktop/pushfiles
9. then type
Code:
sudo ./recovery-linux.sh
10. In the recovery image (moving around using the optical trackball), select 'Flash zip from sdcard' and choose the nexus-bios-boot.zip
11. Confirm then reboot desire.
I would like to point out that none of this is my own work I simply compiled all of the above information from others work to make a simple guide. All credits goto Paul @ MoDaCo for rooting and his guide and I am unsure of who actually made the boot screen. But the link is at the top of the post.
Below are all of the files you will need to get started
and here is a quick vid
nice one, thanks
Installed this too, looks smart!
Dont know if anyone noticed but as its booting it says nexus one lol I have posted in the original thread maybe someone who knows what they are doing will edit it and make one specifically for the desire.
Hi,
Great work!
Would this work for all Boot screens for Android?
Regards
Mo
I'm honestly not sure this is my first android phone. I saw the boot animation thread a few weeks ago an thought as soon as we have root I'm going to try it and to my sunrise it worked. I would guess any existing nexus one animations would work on the desire fine but I an not 100% sure. If you find any others I would be happy to try them and post my results.

I have not tried but as the boot animation is loaded onto the rom I would guess if you restored an original rom I would set it back to "how it was ment to be". I am jus grabbing the files I need now and will test a few more out and post my results + vids.

I have just tried all three and get the same message saying... E: No signiture E: Verification failed
I also tried another from the original thread I linked to the nexus-boot-apple 1 and it worked fine. Possible they need signing properly and then they would work but dont really know enough about android phones atm to really sepectualte.
Edit: Just been told that the files you linked to do not get flashed but you push them over via adb.
bootanimation.zip
Just a wierd question.
I tried to create a bunch of png files to create an animation.
Numbered from 00001 to 00009
I placed those in a folder named android.
Edited the desc.txt file to:
480 800 1
p 1 1 android
Zipped this to bootanimation.zip and placed this zip file in /data/local
When rebooting the phone i get a nice black screen.
Now what am i doing wrong in this progress?
Greetings from a vastloper
You need to re-sign the package. To do that just zip up the 'data' and 'META-INF' directories then use the following guide to sign it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3175518&postcount=2
i signed it also.
Didnt work either.
Do i need to change the meta.inf file ?
Thanks for the reply
It shouldn't be a file called meta.inf, it should be a directory named META-INF.
If you use nexus-bios-boot.zip as an example (from Post #1) then in the META-INF directory should be a few signature files:
CERT.RSA
CERT.SF
MANIFEST.MF
(delete these - they will be recreated when you sign the file)
and subdirectories com -> google -> android containing the update-script
(which can be left alone)
Do you have the update-script in the correct place? Zip it all up, sign and apply. Any change?
Might be a problem with bootanimation.zip actually.
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-droid/25774-custom-boot-animation-figured-out.html
I think the folder with the .pngs needs to be called part0 and part1:
"the folder part 0 is the part that does not loop. part 1 will loop after part 0 plays and while phone is still loading."
Final tidbit...
You could always just use adb to push the bootanimation.zip to the correct place.
No need to worry about signing or update-script! Of course you have to do this from recovery mode after mounting the system, so the full code you would run:
Code:
adb shell mount /system
followed by:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
Okei.. Before you tell me to use the search button, ive been searching for an hour for this question..
How can you find out what hboot my G2 is on? Because ive been wanting to flash a radio to my phone and threads say that i need eng. hboot to actually flash it or it will brick my phone..
It will be helpfull if someone tells me how to find out..
Also, can someone please link me to the eng.hboot file?
Thanks in Advanced.
Turn off your phone and then hold power+vol down.
Will it show the eng hboot symbol any where?
Ok, well this is what it says..

eMMC-BOOT
It says ENG in the beginning but at the end it say eMMC-BOOT.

couple of things...
1) you have engineering hboot as evidenced by the "ENG" in the first line
2) you do not need engineering hboot to flash a new radio. I don't know who told you that, but it is not true. in fact, I would say that it's easier to flash a radio the PC10IMG.zip way rather than the fastboot way. if you need instructions on how to perform a PC10IMG.zip radio flash, let me know. it's very easy.
Can you show me please?

Did you rename your file "PC10IMG.zip" and when you do so, make sure that you have windows set to show you the file extensions otherwise you'll end up naming it "PC10IMG.zip.zip"

"Just be sure you're naming it correctly by changing your settings in windows file explorer to show you the extension of the file"
Ok, no problem. When you open "My Computer", click the "Tools" menu, then click "Folder Options", then the "View" tab, then the tenth (or so) checkbox down should say "Hide extensions of known file types". Make sure this is unchecked, as you want windows to ALWAYS show you the file extension, this ensures that you're not misnaming it by accident i.e. "PC10IMG.zip.zip", this should help you prevent that.

I'm currently on the 04.30 radio as well, and it's about as good as it gets for me. I hear a lot of people have favorable results with the radios ending in .17 and .26 - I think, lol. My recommendation is to keep flashing until you find the best one for you (keep in mind different radios also affect wifi and data speed, not just signal strength)

Hi,
so I managed to S-off my Desire using Revolutionary. But now I would like to change the HBOOT.
So I put the PB99IMG.zip file on the root of the SD card and boot the phone holding Volume Down + Power, next the message '... PB99IMG.zip not found ...'
Why does this happen? What can I do?
Grtz
is it definitely named PB99IMG.zip in capitals? Is it definitely not ending .zip.zip?
Alternatively try "Android Flasher". Not saying it's better, but it's a workaround.
I'll say its better
yeah, it's all in caps. :s

Its usually something to do with the file name. itmust be exactly "PB99IMG.zip" not "pb99img.zip" or "PB99IMG.zip.zip"

I fixed the problem, don't know why, but I just reformatted the SD card (with Gparted, exactly the same as I did the first time). And now the PB99IMG file was recognized, so I was able to install the new HBOOT.
I would stil like to have the fastboot file though, I've been looking all over the place for it!

So, many of you probably faced the issue, when you tried to restore your CWM backup, that the recovery says MD5 mistmach, and will do nothing. The problem is now solved, and was solved, so I'm not the one, who made thing possible, I'm just porting this to the V.
So, the problem (in my iterations at least) are based on the /cache/ cannot be mounted error, which is common in the V. For why is that, I simply don't have a clue, but it is present. Because of this, the backup won't be full, and thus, the md5 image won't be made for the recovery, so cannot be recovered as is.
But happily you can make an md5 image from the backup yourself, and thus recover your backup.
WARNING!
I'm no dev, just someone, that knows linux.
If you follow this path, you do it on your own. I'm not responsible for bricked devices, lost data or whatsoever, including the future the past and the present.

There are three ways for you, to make an md5 sum of the img files, the good and the bad one and also the quoted one:
One (the good)
For this, you will need adb, root, and a working android. Yo don't have it? Here you go.
Go to the directory, were you have adb (or have extracted adb.exe, suggested c:\htc\), then plug in your phone (just for charge, no data connection), open terminal (syntax: cmd) then type in:
adb shell
this will get you to the phone's terminal
if you have # at the end of the line, you are good to go, if not, then type su
The syntaxes needed:
cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/{recovery_timestamped_directory} <- this is from your backup, so you need to fill in appropirate data
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will make an md5 image with the name that cwm acknowledges.
Two (the bad one)
So, you'we fired your ROM, cannot even boot, but cwm comes in. Than this is for you. There are programs (e.g. total commander) which can make md5 images. So if you have your backup folder, just go into it (sd card reader is preferred). You will see something like this in it:
.android_secure.vfat.tar
boot.img
data.ext4.tar
{nandroid.md5}
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
sidenote:
If you have the nandroid.md5 and you cannot recover, don't try to recover from it!!!
The image itself is corrup, you have no luck, try RUU. (you can recover if you delete the md5 and create a new, but it is not really recommended)
1.
So, there are 2 .img files, highlight them in totalcommander. go to file->create checksum files
2.
tick in md5, then ok
3.
No, you're not done
open the md5 file in text editor, and remove the * 's from before the file names.
4.
Rename the file to nandroid.md5
5.
Now you're done, go to cwm, then recover.
Three (the quoted one)
Also on the 2nd page you will find an alternative solution for the problem which can help you if you have got busybox installed on your device.
The solution resembles the One type of fix, so with quotes here's the one (thanx for Meeshka for it).

if you send me the 2 img files i can create an appropirate md5 image of them, but send the one you did, so I can guess what the problem is.
send them to the email of my usr here, or in pm. and mainly, the md5 image has the name "nandroid.md5" like small caption all the way, even the md5? If it is there where it must, it must work, ad absurd it will be "wrong checksum error", but that is another version.
General android section has this, I have learned this from there, but it had only 1st option, and was "discovered" when cwm had generated wrong md5s, the V, in the V the problem is a tad bit different, but the solution is the same.
I fixed it in adb

Just created an md5sum manualy from the img files with the name of nandroid.md5, because on the V the recovery doesn't creates them because of cache mount problem.
The recovery process will end in an error message, because cache cannot be recovered, but the main thing will be recovered this way.

So, many of you probably faced the issue, when you tried to restore your CWM backup, that the recovery says MD5 mistmach, and will do nothing. The problem is now solved, and was solved, so I'm not the one, who made thing possible, I'm just porting this to the V.
So, the problem (in my iterations at least) are based on the /cache/ cannot be mounted error, which is common in the V. For why is that, I simply don't have a clue, but it is present. Because of this, the backup won't be full, and thus, the md5 image won't be made for the recovery, so cannot be recovered as is.
But happily you can make an md5 image from the backup yourself, and thus recover your backup.
There are two ways for you, to make an md5 sum of the img files, the good and the bad one:
One (the good)
For this, you will need adb, root, and a working android. Yo don't have it? Here you go.
Go to the directory, were you have adb (or have extracted adb.exe, suggested c:\htc\), then plug in your phone (just for charge, no data connection), open terminal (syntax: cmd) then type in:
adb shell
this will get you to the phone's terminal
if you have # at the end of the line, you are good to go, if not, then type su
The syntaxes needed:
This will make an md5 image with the name that cwm acknowledges.
Two (the bad one)
So, you'we fired your ROM, cannot even boot, but cwm comes in. Than this is for you. There are programs (e.g. total commander) which can make md5 images. So if you have your backup folder, just go into it (sd card reader is preferred). You will see something like this in it:
sidenote:
If you have the nandroid.md5 and you cannot recover, don't try to recover from it!!!
The image itself is corrup, you have no luck, try RUU. (you can recover if you delete the md5 and create a new, but it is not really recommended)
1.
So, there are 2 .img files, highlight them in totalcommander. go to file->create checksum files
2.
tick in md5, then ok
3.
No, you're not done
open the md5 file in text editor, and remove the * 's from before the file names.
4.
Rename the file to nandroid.md5
5.
Now you're done, go to cwm, then recover.

I have done the thing with a legacy tcmd, so there is a probability, that they have modified the md5sum algorithm, so if you don't se the stars don't panic. (also it should do the trick even with stars in the file, but wanted to be sure at the time I wrote the post)
plz provide touch recovery for karbon a9+ plz and ther is bugs in cwm recovery 5.0.2.8 plz

b. Copy misc_version, recovery.img(custom) on that folder.
c. Copy SuperSU's or SuperUser's flashable zip to your SD card.

Hmm you got to do more reading.
C is the drive in your computer. Flashable zip is the one which can be 'flashed' ( installed) from recovery.

This is the flashable zip:
http://download.chainfire.eu/339/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip
I downgraded mine in 20 mins, its so simple. Basically u need to -
Unlock bootloader (google)
Flash recovery (google)
Flash superuser (google)
Then on ur pc u do the misc_version bit and in the cmd window u need to type in the ruu number that ur going to run so that when u do run the ruu, it thinks ur software number is 1.xx.xxxx NOT 2.xx.xxxx. Once uv finished misc_version part u need to boot back into fastboot and relock ur bootloader (fastboot oem lock) then run the ruu, if all goes well u can use revolutionary.
