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!

Yes please make splash screens with the Android Logo... I found some good ones on Zedge. I think it would be pretty cool

More splash screens added

Ones with a Manchester United logo? :-D Preferably in black n white or blue...
Thanks for sharing the collection btw.. some really neat ones in there!!!
Also.. could you edit your first post to include the filenames of the splash screens along with the image? That would be helpful.

Try this:

2. once in bootloader give command (from the same folder of your splash screen) -> fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

Is there a way to flash without having ENG S-OFF?

ENG S-OFF is a must to flash img's like custom recovery or splash screen..
And having ENG S-OFF is not a harmful thing, rather it gives you more room to play with the device

Why is the version still 6.0.4.6?

CWM 6.0.4.7
OP Updated

Feb/2 OP updated

Small question: my device is on 10.26.1.17. Updating to the latest official 4.3 will definitely wipe the CWM recovery, and probably will make some of the apps not running any more (not mentioning loosing root, etc..)
Is it possible to install the CWM on such a ROM version (10.26.1.17) ? I've just tested booting it and booting (and using it as a backup) works.

I was on 6.0.4.6 and i used flashify to update. Worked fine.

@pershoot I'd love for this recovery to include touch screen drivers. That way at least aroma could use the touch screen. Any ideas how to compile with the standard drivers included?

Make sure recovery.img is in the same folder as fastboot and you are running the cmd prompt from that folder.

Very common mistake that happens to the best of us

updated.

Hi,
I spent hours trying to get this to work before discovering there are two missing steps in the OP's instructions.
There's a shell script that calls an application that restores the stock boot loader on every boot.
You have to delete it.
Steps:
1. Root.
2. Install Root Explorer.
3. Go into /etc
4. Delete install_recovery.sh
5. Go into /system
6. Delete recovery-from-boot.p
You have to delete the files. You can't just rename them or change the extension because the system actually searches the filesystem for a file whose contents matches an MD5 hash and will find it if you rename it.
After you do this, THEN follow OP's instructions.

For those who can't flash the zip, you could try extracting the logo.bin and flash via fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash logo /path/to/logo.bin
Disclaimer: The fastboot command works, but I haven't tested it with the logo.bin file provided from the zip in this thread.

Did you test the file you posted?
You shared a flashable zip file so is it working?

@[email protected] ... It's a sorry thing to see when a member of your apparent experience on XDA resorts to plagiarism to open a new thread. The reason your flashable zip doesn't work is because you have copied the "Meta-Inf" file word for word and comma for comma from the original by @caitsith2 who pioneered flashable zips for boot logos. Not only have you failed to give him/her due credit for the work but you have also been ignorant enough to copy/leave in the three "dummy commented out" lines from his original. If you had an ounce of original thought in your being you would have seen that there was no way this "updater-script" was going to work.
Unlike you I have taken note of the requests by posters to this thread and have incorporated your "image" into a new flashable zip which works. As usual flash through custom recovery.

Oh looks awesome...thanks.

@eduluzamba ... I don't wish to bang you on the head about this but I must point out that 268 people have downloaded this logo and you are the first to state that this particular problem exists.
Might I suggest that you delete the logo and re-instate the original, I presume you backed it up before installing this one, then re-download this logo just in case it was corrupted in the download and flash it again through recovery.
You might also look back at the post by @Stryder5 on page 1, he suggests the alternative method of flashing using ADB Fastboot.
I hate to state the obvious but presumably your device is the MXPE.

Sorry is that after I saw that the logo is for the bike x style and the bike x force

Soft BRICKED A2 (bootloop)

I have bricked my A2 today. I first unlocked the bootloader then insatlled GCAM.

I downloaded official firmware of A2 and tried to flash via mi flash tool, always gets an error of "FLASH_DEVCFG_A ERROR" . Then i tried by clicking on "flash_all_except_data.bat" file, cmd just opened and closed very soon, Same thing happended with "flash_all_lock.bat" ,again cmd just opened and closed.
Still my phone is stuck at Android one animation, and i cant flash or boot my set.

xposed would have not messed with those partitions. did you flash system partition yet?
if not just flash system, vendor and boot
once you have flashed those, do fastboot -w (will loose all data).
and then reboot
fastboot reboot

GOT THESE ERROR::
PS C:\adb> fastboot flash system_a C:\adb\images\system.img

my system iso is there in that location
but successfuly done fastboot flash vendor_b C:\adb\images\vendor.img
and fastboot flash vendor_a C:\adb\images\vendor.img

What are you even doing with all those commands
You need to download latest ADB, that is the first that you need to do, and second, copy all of the images from stock rom to your adb folder, it will be easier for commands to work.
And then start your cmd.exe with administrative privileges (right click on cmd in search bar of windows start, and "run as administrator").
Then move yourself from directory to your adb directory with commands from DOS, like "cd.." for going back from directory, and "cd nameofdir" to go into directory.
So move yourself in adb directory, then type the commands from the upper link to flash those .img one by one.
Oh yes, one other thing, you need to check if you see your mobile device in fastboot, did you install correct drivers.
When you are in adb folder, in cmd type fastboot devices, and you should see your mobile connected, if not, then you can type all you want, the phone is not recognized with pc connection.

Right, so... follow this guide to make sure you've unlocked your bootloader successfully. After you've finished, also add in the command "fastboot flashing unlock_critical". I'm not sure why it didn't work for you in the first place - but I know for a fact it works, because I did it to my own A2.
Make sure you've installed adb/drivers as attached by that link above. Why? 'Cause that's what I did, so I know it should work.
Then go here, extract the files to the same folder as platform-tools (the adb and fastboot tools folder), and run flash-all.bat.

Hey bro i do it too, tô solve, just do a fastboot unlock_critical

I had the same issue, no OS installed.
Adb Sideload and OTG didn't worl no matter what I tried.
I followed this thread, and it worked properly without errors, not even one.
It took me 5 minutes to recover my dead MiA2 device to a smooth original/official ROM built.
Locled OEM, rebooted the device and everything is working perfectlt.
Thank you all for the info.
