[HOW TO] [ROOT] [S-OFF] Change boot logo (skateboards, not boot animation)

DISCLAIMER:
1) You are doing this at your own risk.
2) Educate yourself first and try this ONLY if you feel comfortable with modifying with your phone.
3) If you break your phone it is not my fault nor is it my responsibility to fix your phone.
Things could go wrong but they shouldn't if you follow the directions and have some general knowledge of Android.

Things needed:
ADB/Fastboot knowledge - HERE and HERE
RGB565Converter v0.3c - Thanks to DeToX-cz!
UPDATE: You must have the engineering bootloader flashed for access to splash1. Follow the steps here to flash the S=OFF bootloader. -Thanks to jcase
Instructions:
Find an or create an image (.png, .bmp, .jpg, or .gif -- 320x480 is preferrable)
Open RGB565 Converter
Ensure that "To RGB565 (binary)" tab is selected
Click "Open Image", select your image
Click "Convert to RGB565" (RGB565 Converter will make your image 320x480 if it is not already)
CLOSE RGB565 CONVERTER
Reboot phone into Fastboot using this command: adb reboot bootloader
OR Button combo: SEND/CALL + END/POWER
Flash image using this command: fastboot flash splash1 <your_image_name>.rgb565
Reboot phone using this command: fastboot reboot
OR fastboot oem powerdown if not then remove your battery
View the results of your hard work.
Enjoy!

As of right now there is no way to read the splash1 partition to back it up short of some kind of kernel mod to partition splash1 from NAND as a new MTD. At least that's how I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong.
You must flash the S-OFF BOOTLOADER for this to work.
You can use the RGB565Converter tool to flash your image successfully without needing to type commands.
Below is another method used to keep your phone from rebooting unexpectedly during the process:

I tried using the "Flash Splash1" button that someone had posted earlier and I almost **** myself. I think my phone tried to load the file I originally used to root it. I was getting really nervous so I pulled the battery and, to my relief, it powered on and it booted normally. I'm sure that method works but I'm scared of it now.
I tried the original instructions and it rebooted my phone before I was ready so I did this in the command prompt (this was mentioned on the first page of posts):
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb shell
su
reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 <copy and paste file name here>
fastboot reboot
Of course this will only work if you've downloaded the program, converted your picture and placed it in the tools directory of SDK.
Worked great for me. I couldn't be happier!

How do you get into fastboot? I held the trackball down and power. Is that what you meant by hold "send press" and also does the image need to be on the root of the sdcard(Im guessing so...)?

no, Hold Call button and end button to get into fastboot
and this is ONLY FOR ROOTED PHONES
thanks

thanks i will try it out. Im using ivan's 0.7

Ok so i figured out i needed to be in "fastboot usb" mode, but i searched and found that i had to type this command into the CommandPrompt
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot bootloader
then type in the command that was mentioned before, but make sure that the image is in the \tools dir in your android sdk install.

^^^ This worked...But i have question after this how do you reboot?
I just did a battery pull But I'm sure there must be a command to reboot anyone know what it is?
and I used this Picture of an android with the letters ERIS in the center is anyone else want that instead of the droid one or something.

there should be an option to go to HBOOT menu and then into recovery and reboot from there.
I used this one:

Great tutorial. Thanks!
Here's mine if someone likes it they are free to use it.

+1 rep (if only we could do that). I was looking for something like this. Thanks!

I did a battery pull myself too lazy to go into recovery from hboot. My phone did not explode after doing a battery pull so it "should" be safe however do so with caution.

moved thread by request of OP.
Best regards,
Flar

Ive learned that battery pull is the easyiest way,

As a fan of FFXIII, I could not pass up the opportunity to do this.
[Taking Requests also ]

Maybe we should come up with a thread so people can post all boot images and animations in one place, no?
Just remember to convert it like mentioned in the first post
Here is one(as a fan =] ):

Was just thinking about changing and found this. Thanks.

Awesome!!!
Thanks for the tutorial.

Worked great!

cannot flash TWRP recovery...

I wanted to run a 4.4 KitKat GE rom on my HTC One, therefore I decided to unlock my bootloader, install twrp, and flash the rom. So far all i did was unlock my bootloader. Then I proceeded to flash twrp recovery via a command prompt? on my desktop. But I kept getting an error message. I attached a picture of the message I am receiving. I read on the twrp recovery teams site that I need to have S-off before flash TWRP soooo I thought this is what was causing the error. I proceeded to change my S-On to S-Off using rumrunner but then I got an error message there saying I need to be rooted. SOOOOOO now I'm at a standstill and I don't know how to get TWRP recovery onto my device. I'm new to this device and this whole unlocking/rooting thing...Please help!

First to clarify things:
you don't need to be s-off to flash a custom recovery just need unlocked bootloader
you need a custom recovery to root
you need root to s-off
so you need a custom recovery first in order to achieve s-off
The picture you attached tells me fastboot isn't finding the file ''twrp,img'' from your command line ''fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
in most cases because:
your recovery.img file is not in the ''platform-tools'' folder that contain adb.exe and fastboot.exe
the file name of your recovery is not twrp.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ''name_of_your_recovery_file.img''
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

i'll just leave this here: "cannot load" means the filename is WRONG!!! that's all
cya

okay I'll will give it a go with the suggestions tonight and update this thread with my results

So did I set this up correctly now? And I just open the CMD prompt window up from inside this domain and type "fastboot flash recovery "paste file name here" ? View attachment 2431242

So I just tried again....same error

I downloaded the newest SDK batch files and attempted again. Now I get a different error message.

Sorry about the screenshots, But where is there a double .img.img extension.....I only have it there once. I literally downloaded the image file from team wins website, saved it into the same folder containing the adb and fastboot files. I didnt change anything in the file name. Then i proceeded to Enter into the CMD window "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7" and I also tried "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img" Both do not work.

So it's December 2016 and I was running into a very similar error. Doing the dir command showed I had a double ".img" on my file as well. Fixed that, and I'm back in business. Thanks so much!

Hi Guys, just an FYI, i'm leaving here the link to download the current versions of TWRP IMG

please tell how you fix that i have the same problem

Just rename the file without typing in ".img" at it should be ok.
So in explorer, rename the file simply "twrp" and hit enter. There will be a ".img" extension on the file, but you won't see it. To make sure it's been corrected, run the dir command and it should show "twrp.img" even though the file doesn't have the ".img" when you look at it in explorer.
Does that make sense?

I can't do a factory reset though can I? All I can do is enter download mode

Ok, inside the zip of the rom you flashed, there is a file called boot.
On your desktop, drag out the boot.img.
It's an easy way to get fastboot and adb access without having to download android sdk. Extract the folder to your desktop. put the boot.img inside the folder called ADB-Fastboot.
Now open up cmd. Then change the directory of the prompt so that it aims to the ADB-Fastboot folder. Then type "adb reboot bootloader" so your phones goes into bootloader.
It should boot into a mode called fastboot. On your phone's screen, you should see "Fastboot usb" in red.
Then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" Then once it finishes flashing, you can either reboot to see if it gets passed the screen or reflash the rom and then try rebooting again.

Put the boot.img inside the folder called ADB-Fastboot.
Now open up cmd.
Then change the directory of the prompt so that it aims to the ADB-Fastboot folder.
Then type "adb reboot bootloader" so your phones goes into bootloader.
It should boot into a mode called fastboot.
On your phone's screen, you should see "Fastboot usb" in red.
Then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" Then once it finishes flashing, you can either reboot to see if it gets passed the screen or reflash the rom and then try rebooting again.

By 'change the directory of the prompt what exactly do you mean?

In CMD you have to open the folder you created ie ADB-Fastboot
So type cd ADB-Fastboot , you are changing the directory to the one you created.
Then follow the other instructions.
Without being rude you do not seem to have sufficient knowledge to dabble with you phone....
Once you get it going I would not play with it till you have read a bit more and watched a few videos to bulk up the level of competency,

and Flash system, boot, recovery.
But i just DO NOT know how...!
I even dont know which files to download?
I dont know on which android version i was.
Please help me...
Thank you!

I just did this last night. Easy fix. Follow these steps. Put all the factory image files in the platform-tools folder and run these steps in a command prompt. Let me know if you need more details. I went from never rooting a phone to loading 6.0.1 in about two hours. Which I would stay away from for now due to the battery bug. Stick with 6.0.0.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481/page62
The CF autoroot does not work for Marshmallow. Something needs to be done on this forum or lots of people are going to temporarily brick their phones.

Thanks!
Can you please look at the attached screenshor and tell me if needed files?
I extract factory image 6.0.0 (MRA58X)...
Now:
1) Which files i should copy to platform-tools folder?
2) Can I flash at the same time also SuperSU & TWRP
After i copy the file/files to platform-tools folder , is that what i should do?
1) Boot into bootloader mode.
2) Open command prompt from platform-tools .
3) Type in the command prompt window these 6 commands (1 by 1):
- fastboot erase system
- fastboot flash system system.img
- fastboot format cache
- fastboot flash cache cache.img
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- fastboot reboot.

fastboot flash twrp recovery, reboot to recovery and flash roms from there

How come?
Please - need your help.
Thank you!

TWRP downloaded and copied to:
C:\\adt-bundle-windows-x86\sdk\platform-tools
Renamed it to: twrp.img

put twrp .img in same folder as fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFIMAGE.img
that's all

Is it ok?
After waiting long to see any process in the cmd windows or in the device (nothing), This is what i get:
Maybe something is wrong with the driver?
How can i knwo (when i connected the n6 in the first time everything looked right with the driver)

you have unlocked your bootloader? you have booted to bootloader when trying fastboot?

In the bootloader i can see:
Device is UNLOCKED, Status Code: 3
I booted into by holding VOL down+power.

You are going to have to fight through it like I did till I can get back to my laptop and help. Everyone that knows what they are doing do not understand you don't know what dgbrjkgbj efvkjdfougndfj nnufiv vsibhan andighbdfiv are. The lingo is the killer in learning all this stuff. There is no plain easy to understand guide to all this which is why I have stayed away from it for so long. Every technical area has users who break it down to the most basic level. This is the exception.

@Clay
I really having difficulties understanding your main gaol with your replay.
I am sure that there is a solution to this problem.
I just need someone to explain me what is wrong here...

never seen that error about size. can't help you with that.

Trying to get someone that can help you understand that you need it broken down in more simple terms. Where to get the image from. What to do with it, when to do which step.

Download the factory image from here.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
Extract the .tgz file then the .zip file and put all the files in the platform-tools folder. You might need winrar to extract the .tgz file.
Then run the sequence below from a cmd prompt pointed to the platform-tools folder.
1) Boot into bootloader mode.
2) Open command prompt from platform-tools .
3) Type in the command prompt window these 6 commands (1 by 1):
- fastboot erase system
- fastboot flash system system.img
- fastboot format cache
- fastboot flash cache cache.img
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- fastboot reboot.

Here are the files: (it's a screenshot)

The .tgz file is the original file you download from this site. The factory image.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
Extract the .tgz file, then the .zip file that extracts from the .tgz file, place all those files in the platform-tools folder then run the sequence above.

place all those files in the platform-tools folder

Do i need to take only the files that created from the extracted zip file?

Do i need to take only the files that created from the extracted zip file?

I don't know what twrp is yet, so you'll have to get help from someone else on that one.
---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------
I put everything in the platform-tools folder. As long as you have the files mentioned in the fastboot steps you should be good.

As we can't post images by this kind of commants, pleas see bellow the attached image.
I extracted it correctly?

-If you have a custom rom, extract the rom's zip and get the boot.img from there.
-ADB and Fastboot drivers installed on phone and PC
-SDK Platform tools downloaded from official android website. Extract the downloaded zip to desktop and rename it to platform_tools
-A Computer
-Basic understanding of CMD, ADB and Fastboot commands.

-Rename the file to magisk.img, then move it to the platform_tools folder which contains fastboot.exe.
-Now reboot the phone and when the screen goes fully black, hold volume down button until you see "fastboot".
-Your phone should now be in fastboot mode. Connect the phone to the pc.
-Press win+r, then type cmd
-Type cd desktop
-Type cd platform_tools
-Type fastboot devices (if you see nothing, make sure you have adb and fastboot drivers, that the phone is connected and is in fastboot mode.)
-Type this carefully: fastboot flash boot magisk.img
-Done! Now reboot the phone by typing: fastboot reboot
-If you did everything correctly, the magisk app should say that it is installed.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Q:Fastboot says it couldn't find "magisk.img" or CMD says fastboot doesn't exist
A: Make sure that cmd says that its in C:\Users\(name)\Desktop\platform_tools and that magisk.img is also in there.
Q: Phone is in bootloop
A: Hold volume down button until phone is in fastboot and flash stock boot.img with fastboot flash boot.img. (You will not have root access) If the phone is still somehow in a bootloop, execute the flash_all_except_storage.bat script by double clicking it (found in the sweet_(region)_images folder you extracted from the full fastboot rom .tgz file).

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for ANY damage that occurs to the phone, you getting fired because the alarm app failed or the world getting nuked, etc...
Requirements:

-boot.img extracted from your phone's fastboot rom (MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOADED THE EXACT SAME ROM THAT YOUR PHONE HAS (Check "About phone" in settings. Make sure that the version AND the code (RK(something)XM) match, if you have MIUI).
xiaomifirmwareupdater site contains unmodified MIUI roms for your device.
-If you have a custom rom, extract the rom's zip and get the boot.img from there.
-ADB and Fastboot drivers installed on phone and PC
-SDK Platform tools downloaded from official android website. Extract the downloaded zip to desktop and rename it to platform_tools
-A Computer
-Basic understanding of CMD, ADB and Fastboot commands.
-The phone
If you see an error, scroll down to the troubleshooting section.

Very good but easier with unlocked bootloader and flashing twrp via adb flash recovery "name of twrp file". Afterwards you can flash directly magisk (I prefer 23 canary debug apk) to root.

if i may add to the troubleshooting: if it says magisk.img isn't found, just type this (after confirming connection with fastboot devices command:
fastboot flash boot
then drag and drop the patched magisk file onto the cmd window/line where you typed the command above. worked for me.

Tanks you

For beginners, "assuming bootloader is unlocked if not click here" should be mentioned.

I've searched around, and it seems to be caused by a VPN. If you use a VPN, turn it off and try again. If not, it could be that the Xiaomi unlocking API is down temporarily.

When I root my Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet) by using twrp to flash magisk 25.2 and lazyflasher-no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip, I receive following message
.
Nevertheless, I reboot my phone which is effectively rooted.
I can then install Magisk manager.
Has someone an idea about the meaning of this error message ?
Thanks in advance.

No need to flash lazy flasher since you already flashed Magisk. They both do the same which is to disable dm verity. Also, lazy flasher is an old zip intended for old devices so maybe that's why it failed.

THis is the stupidest guide for beginners, this article assumes you have unlocked your phone in the first place. All the important steps are just skipped and is stuffed in the requirements. And just shows simple screenshots that even a child would know where to click.
No external links to find the sources.

While unlocking the bootloader I'm having the issue linked below, thanks in advance for all and any responses. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mi-unlock-country-code-broken.4572339/
