Proof of Concept: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rGRZgry8lk
Tools Needed:
Samsung Epic running DK28 ***MUST BE ROOTED*** (See Question #5 below for non rooted devices)
Heimdall 1.1.1 (I'm not going to get into how to install the drivers...read the README) Download HERE
Modified param.lfs HERE
ADB or terminal emulator
480x800 jpg 64KB or less in size (use the above image as a template if you need to) or use the skull logo from the video HERE UPDATE: blademonkey posted some more logos that should work here
Steps:
1. Unplug and power off your phone and put it into download mode by holding '1' on the keyboard while powering on.
2. Open Heimdall and select the modified param.lfs (make sure no other boxes are checked besides the param.lfs box)
3. Hit start and let the phone reboot. (I didn't but if you get a garbled screen on boot just ignore it)
4. After the phone boots copy the new jpg file to the sdcard via 'adb push newlogo.jpg /sdcard/' or mounting the sdcard on your computer.
5. open an 'adb shell' or your favorite terminal emulator and issue the following commands and replace newlogo.jpg with your file name:
Code:
$ su
# cp /sdcard/newlogo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg
6. Reboot your phone the normal way or just type 'reboot' and look for your new logo to show up!
Q&A:
1. Why 64KB or less for the jpg? Well the original logo.jpg is 64KB and with replacing files on flash memory it is a good idea to stick to that or smaller. I have tested with jpg files ranging from 11KB-58KB. If any one feels daring and wants to push a bigger jpg then please post your results. In theory, the partition is 5120KB which would leave us with about 3800KB free on that partition. But I would still recommend sticking to 64KB or less.
2. Why Heimdall and not odin? Whenever I tried to flash with Odin it soft bricked my phone every time. Returning to download mode and using Heimdall to flash the param.lfs file worked every time for me (and unbricked my phone). I used Odin 1.3 with and without the victory .pit and I don't know if it was my .tar or what but it never goes through. If any one wants to figure out why it doesn't work in Odin or figures out how to make it work then please post in this thread and I'll update the OP.
3. Why does the Samsung logo still show up after my image? The logo is a two part deal. The first part is contained in the param.lfs file that we are dealing with here. The second part is somewhere in the kernel. If some one knowledgeable wants to try and tackle the kernel I would be very interested to know how. It may not be possible until we get the source code.
4. Can I do this with ClockworkMod? I attempted to make a zip to flash the param.lfs with redbend_ua doing a redbend_ua restore does not flash correctly. In fact after I flashed with CWM the phone does not even mount /dev/block/stl6 (seen as bml6 by CWM) anymore. If any one has any ideas or can figure this out please let me know. This would allow the ROM developers another way to include a new logo in their ROM.
5. How can I replace the logo on my NON-ROOTED DK28 phone? To do this you will need a dump of the param.lfs from some one else's phone that has already followed the above steps. To dump an existing param.lfs in an adb shell or terminal and 'dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/param.lfs' Then you can flash the modified param.lfs with Heimdall and ignore the rest of the steps above.
How it Works: (If you are curious)
The boot logo is stored /dev/block/stl6 which is mounted in /mnt/.lfs/ on the file system. By typing 'mount' in a terminal you can see it is mounted as a j4fs file system. From what I understand in my research is that j4fs is a closed source type of file system and is not well documented. Also you might notice it is mounted 'rw' but this is only partially true. You CAN create a NEW file in /mnt/.lfs/ but you can NOT delete or modify an existing file in that partition. So how do we get replace that logo.jpg to our custom image? We don't replace it. Instead I used a hex editor on the DK28 stock param.lfs file and changed every instance of '6C 6F 67 6F 2E 6A 70 67' to '6C 30 67 30 2E 6A 70 67' What this did is change the logo.jpg file name to l0g0.jpg. This allows us to flash that modified param.lfs and put a new logo.jpg on that partition. This same method could be used to replace the other files you can see in the /mnt/.lfs/ folder. Ideally I would have liked to delete the original jpg file all together but after many many different attempts, I couldn't find a way to do so. I'm also a noob when it comes to hex editing (this was my first time) so I don't posses the knowledge to do it that way nor do we know enough about the j4fs to make it happen.

You rock! Keep up the good work!

I love the fact that everytime you post something Rodd you have phenomenal directions on how to do it. Great to see that you are trying to educate people on how to do stuff that they normally wouldn't even think about doing. Keep up the good work.

Sweet action...thanks for explaining the workings, helps to know what's going on so we can all learn as we go

thanks man worked like a charm!!!

Why can't you just rename a jpg with the proper dimensions and size the same as the Samsung image and replace the original image using Root Explorer? We already know the location, size, and dimensions of the image.

Read 'How it works' in the OP. With j4fs partitions you can only create a NEW file. You can not modify, rename, or delete an existing file. And yes the method you are suggesting was the first thing I tried.

Question? Will this be like the evo where if you flash a new rom it will stay or will you have to refash every time a new rom is flashed?

it will stay until it is overwritten by odin or heimdall so it will stay through rom flashes

Any 480x800 jpg 64KB or less in size should work just fine. I have not tested any other resolutions or anything bigger than the original file size.

Everything went thru but it just shows a black screen and not the pic i loaded..any ideas?
it was 34KB

looks to me like those files are not jpg files and are not the right size either
remember once you have a logo.jpg in /mnt/.lfs/ you have to redo the partition to add another
please post the actual file u were trying

I'm not much of a photo editor, but I'm working on a cross of some sort. A plain white glowing cross would be awesome. If anyone beats me to it, it won't hurt my feelings.

LGNPST 1.3 Developer Edition For XDA
*DO NOT HOST/LINK/REPOST/OR ANYTHING ELSE OUT SIDE OF XDA* WITH OUT MY PERMISSION
[Questions]
Q.) Where is the Right Click Register ?
A.) I recompiled it into the installer, it will automatically install when installing LGNPST
Q.) Is the Right Click Register any different then the one I already have ?
Q.) I don't see the Register DLL in my right click menu.
A.) Most likely the right click register that you got/download/received originally came from me in the first place, this version is newer and updated. This version will install a new menu and ONLY register on dlls that can be registered, it does not show in your right click menu the whole time like the old version. It will only show when right clicking on a valid Active X dll or OCX file.
Q.) Should I remove the old LGNPST ?
A.) Yes remove all old version of LGNPST.
Q.) Can I upgrade my phone that use a .tot with this?
A.) Yes you can, VERY EASILY. You must first change the menu. To do this click (Tool) at the top menu. Click (Show Only Old UI). You will notice the upgrade tab will switch from asking for a .CAB file to a .BIN file. Just click on the little folder icon and change the FILE TYPE to .TOT, then select your .TOT file. No need for having to do any hacks or *.* or using the WRONG method to update the device.

7-Zip = no errors

Gracias.

7 zip would not open. Winzip would not open. Downloaded to phone. Would not open. Downloaded a second time to my phone and worked perfect. Very strange! Might be my internet connection.
Thanks for posting this!

I need help!!!! I think I soft/hard bricked my phone. I'm not sure since I can only get into Download mode. I have the .bin file and LGNPST v 1.3 and after all is in the right place and I hit start I get the ERROR: Unable loading Port Component. What does that mean??? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just had to pick this old phone and use it again and need to return to stock. It's been a really long time since I played with this phone. I can't find any instructions on using this (LGNPST 1.3) I have already deleted my old version. Are there files I need to download or does this version have everything needed included in it? Any help is very much appreciated.

You're not actually looking for a .bin file, TaviRawr...
When you get to that point where it asks you to select a .bin file, the windows open dialog box should open up.
Navigate to the folder where you have the .tot file downloaded...
In the box for file name, type *.tot and hit enter.
Now you should have a listing of the .tot file you downloaded. Click it and hit ok.
Then you should be able to flash your phone to stock.

I'm surprised that the directions don't suggest the Models folder...
Try this...
Go to wherever you have the LGNPST application installed.. For me, it was C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST
Make sure the program is currently closed...
You should have a list of folders and files, such as Components 4.0 and stuff like that ...
Right click and create a new folder and name it Models
Wherever your .dll fild is, the lgnpst_ms970.dll or whatever it's called is, copy it into the Models folder you just created..
Then, assuming you're using Windows Vista/7/8, navigate back up to the LGNPST folder and right click LGNPST.exe (it might say LGNPST if you have extensions hidden for known file types), and run as Administrator...
Now, when you plug your phone in, make sure it is set to Internet Connection and Debugging is on.
The program should automatically detect your phone and the .DLL model...
I'll link to a video (sorry, no audio yet) that gives you a visual briefly.

Let me know if you have any other questions if this doesn't help.

I will try this and tell you what happens. Thank you.

Zip Creator Part

Thanks nice

The thread title seems a little misleading to new or foreign language users, to do a update of stock all you need to do is put the update.app file in a folder called dload and load up the inbuilt recovery.
I can see you are trying to create a customised stock rom that can be installed via custom recoveries and the thread title should reflect that.
When I saw the thread I thought you posted a guide on how to install a stock rom to the device, instead of a guide on how to create a twrp or cwm compatible rom from a stock rom, which I can see you are still trying to figure out from your post in the other thread.

GREAT work BTW! I used your tool to successfully return my device to stock (for the purposes of updating my firmware) worked like a charm!!

I have a TWRP backup of stock rom from OTA 6.11.980.12 (Optus Australia) if you are interested I can pm the link to you along with the stock recovery that came with that OTA, for you to make (when you have time ect) an aroma reset tool for Optus Aussie users that is current and only just pre Android L release for sense roms.
Let me know if that would help

You can make that your self
You want to I can help you
It's easy
1st time with help of @crushalot I made 4 reset Rom for India version
Make TWRP backup of Rom which you want to make stock Rom reset zip
Install ubuntu open ubuntu
Extract backup file in ubuntu
You need system folder + data/preload folder + stock Recovery + boot.img + radio.img (all files from same version)
Extract any of old reset Rom zip
Replace files and folders from New one
Now edit aroma script in meta-inf folderwith notepad +
Edit details Rom version radio version etc
Zip all files and folders
It's ready

If you want to use windows instead of linux, you can extract twrp backup using cygwin. All you need to do is to rename your backup files adding .tar extension then extract them using cygwin
Code:
tar -xvf your_file_name.ext4.win.tar
eg. If you want to extract system.ext4.win000, system.ext4.win001 and data.ext4.win, rename them system.ext4.win000.tar, system.ext4.win001.tar and data.ext4.win.tar. Move the system backup files to C:\Cygwin\Home\UserName\backup\System and data backup to C:\Cygwin\Home\UserName\backup\Data
open a cygwin command prompt and change directory to the correct location:
Code:
cd C:\Cygwin\Home\UserName\backup\System
then in cygwin command prompt:
Code:
tar -xvf system.ext4.win000.tar
tar -xvf system.ext4.win001.tar
Code:
cd C:\Cygwin\Home\UserName\backup\Data
tar -xvf data.ext4.win.tar
Then you have 2 folders, One System folder and one Data folder you can use to make you reset rom.

Thanks Mate.
I will try on Ubuntu first as I use that about 90%of the time. I'll reply with results hopefully tomorrow! Excited to make my own easy reset with aroma.

Had to unlock bootloader via HTC token when my phone is S-Off...
My HTC M7 UL (PID)PNO7400, was rooted and later S-Off with fire water.
I had custom rom and recovery ect. After 6 months of this I wanted to update my firmware but for various reasons didn't want to do it via RUU so I found and used crushalots Easy Recovery Reset Tool.
This worked perfectly.
During the aroma install I chose NOT to install any firmware, just stock recovery and rom.
I also chose not to keep root as I believed that I may not be able to install OTA updates with rooted stock. (right or wrong?)
Immediately after everything was installed I was running stock 2.24.980.2 rom and recovery on 4.20.980.x firmware.
After relocking my bootloader via fastboot, there was no issues, my phone just downloaded several OTA in a row, installed each without a hitch, and about an hour and a half later I had a stock phone with the latest 6.11.980.12 firmware and software, with S-Off.
(BTW re locking the bootloader did not delete any of my data.)
As soon as this was finished I wanted to re install my beloved eragon rom, re gain root, and get my phone back the way it was pre the firmware update.
Having S-Off I thought this would be easy (fastboot flash recovery path/to/custom/recovery.img)
Didn't work.
Unfortunately I didn't keep a copy of the error message I got in terminal, however, I didnt have write permissions on that particular partition. (apologies to anyone trying to help as I know details are important here)
This stumped me, as I have rooted 3 other (older) HTC desire by getting S-Off then flashing custom recovery.img, (These phones were running 1.44 version of fastboot as opposed to my M7s 1.57) I tried to un lock the bootloader via fastboot commands just in case that worked post S-Off ie (fastboot oem unlock) but that didn't work. Firewater doesn't install its own bootloader so locking and unlocking via the s-off tool were not an option either.
I had to re apply to HTC for an unlock token and flash that before I could flash a custom recovery. I plan go back to stock again for the purposes of taking carrier OTA when my carrier starts updating with Android L, so would like to know if this is normal, if not how I possibly stuffed up.
Can any one explain why I had to unlock bootloader via HTC site when my phone is S-Off?
I'm interested in peoples thoughts/knowledge
Many thanks

Hi Mate.
Thanks again. A little help needed.
When extracting the .rar from the TWRP recovery I made, using terminal command line [7z x /path/to/some.rar] in ubuntu i get 4300 of this type of error
can not open output file system/bin/mkswap
can not open output file system/bin/mkswap
can not open output file system/bin/readlink...ect
Basically at the end I get a system folder with about 3 items in it, as 7zip .rar tool cant decompress most of the files from the .rar
Right clicking on system.ext4.win.000 and system.ext4.win001 and selecting 'Extract files here' or 'open archive' results in error "could not open 'xx'. Archive type not supported."
Are you able to give me more detailed instructions on how to extract/unpack the system.ext4.win.000 and system.ext4.win001
Do I need to change the file name before extracting ?
Extracting the files from crushalots tool and extracting the files from the new TWRP then replacing relevant files and changing the manifest to reflect said change in Easy Recovery tool seems quite simple, however Im having trouble just extracting the files....
Im missing something obvious.
Thanks.

For anyone else following this thread atm I solved the problem by re naming the system file extension in TWRP recovery from . win to . tar. In some TWRP back ups there were 2 system folders. A system.4ext000.win and system. 4ext001.win I just merged them during the extraction process.
Also there was no Data/preloaded folder in crushalots reset tool or in any twrp backup I have made.
Haven't tested the modified reset tool yet but will let u all know if I did it correctly!

Without /data/preload, your reset rom will not be ota update ready. You don't have /data/preload in your backup probably because you have unlocked the bootloader and did the nandroid backup after (unlocking bootloader erase /data/preload)

In Ubuntu install 7zip software
don't rename anything just open with archive manager
system.4ext000.win open this
crushalot tool not have data/preload because most of tool was 3.xx version sense 5.5 that time preload files included in system folder

I already have 7zip installed, However there is no option in archive manager to extract anything with it. After cd to file location I can view the . win file in terminal using [7z l file. win] but the [7z x file.win - d folder/i-want/extracted/to] command outputs the same error as stated in above post.
Q1) That aside the last step in this whole process is to zip it all up again as a . zip, so I'll be changing the file extension anyway, so does it matter if I change the file extension from . win to .tar for the purposes of extracting? If so ease explain why.
Q2) the ONLY place I have found a data/preload folder is inside a firmware .zip extracted from an OTA. It's definitely not in any TWRP back up. Did you leave that detail out of your initial instructions? Can you please tell me where to get the /preload folder from if not from the same OTA the recovery.img comes from.
Q3) do I put the data/preload folder inside the system folder of the reset tool or have it separate, along with radio.img, boot. img, recovery.img and aroma files ect.
Thanks for your time.

I replied to the other post before yours came up. Forgive me if I ask similar questions.
I'm assuming I just copy the /preload folder from the same OTA I get the radio and recovery. img from.
Do I put the /preload folder inside any other folder within reset tool for a 6.xx version or have it beside the system folder and .img files.
Regards and Thanks.

It should work. The data/preload folder from an ota zip usually (afaik this is true for the dev edition version) include all /data/preload files. If its the same thing for your version then you should be fine. In /data/preload you should have these files:
YOUR_CID.XML
All the weather animations (mp4 files)
some .png files for photo editing
htc preloaded app like flashlight.apk and calculator.apk. You might have more app depending your version.

Thanks for your excellent and timely reply.
More Qs.
I now have all folders as per your above post. I have taken data/preload, boot.img radio.img and recovery.img straight from OTA. 6.11.980.10
However my stock nand was of 6.11.980.12.
Q1) So do you know if having a system folder derived from a slightly newer version work? As far as I know the .12 OTA was a patch for the 'no voice during call' bug. OTA. 6.11.xxx. 12 did not contain a radio.img AND I can't get a data/preload folder for that ota as I can only find a 6.11.xxx.12 firmware. Not the whole OTA, which is why I reverted to making a . 980.10 reset tool despite having a slightly newer NAND.
Q2) I have edited the updater script in META-INF to reflect new radio and Android version ect. Do I need to update the MANIFEST. MF?
Hope that was clear enough to understand.
A big THANKS for your Help and time!

Question How to Merge Multiple super.img files into one super.img file

thank you also for this! i didn't know there was another way to use simg2img other than using Ubuntu Linux and then installing it there, but thanks for the response! i was able to merge it using simg2img.

I know I'm over looking at something obvious here, but my simg2img has no extension? Can't seem to run it via powershell or CMD? How is this done, please? I moved my super.img stuff in the folder, put CMD in the address bar (where full file path is displayed) and tried to start my command with simg2img. Failed however.

known file type extensions are hidden in windows by default, if you are still sure there is no .exe just add it, and what was the error in cmd.
