Hey all, my problem is that I can't find the .rle image in the extracted ramdisk. I can find a bunch of things except that , if anyone knows where's the .rle image, so I can replace it with the one I want
Image of what I find in ramdisk:

Thanks in advance.

3. wrap it all up and flash it to mtd2
Attached:
1. A boot image with these changes made. To try it on your phone, first back up your mtd2 image (the boot image). Type the following in a root shell to back it up to your sdcard:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/mtd2.img
Then, unzip boot-rc29-customlogo.img.zip it and stick it on your sdcard and type the following in a root shell:
cat /dev/zero >> /dev/mtd/mtd2
flash_image boot /sdcard/boot-rc29-customlogo.img
(when you do the cat, it will tell you "write: No space left on device," which is fine)
To restore your original boot image, do the cat and then flash_image your mtd2.img backup.
2. Samples of the raw image as well as the rle encoded version.
3. A nifty photo of this working on my phone.

Contents:
VZW_bootanimation.zip - logo animation in jpeg @ 15fps
FinalThunder.mp3 - HEV suit "login" sound from the game. "Welcome to the H.E.V. Mk. IV..." that junk.
I've packed everything. I think. Please let me know if there's anything missing or something goes haywire or something.
Oh god how do I use this thing?
• Extract contents, rename VZW_bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip
• Either copy the contents onto your SD card and use a root explorer or push them directly using ADB.
- For custom ROMs: /system/media/ or /data/local/, depending on your ROM
- For stock ROMs: it's either /system/customize/ or /data/local/. Refer to your phone's filetree for specific dir pathnames.
• Change permissions rw-r--r-- using any root explorer or chmod 311 /path/to/zip/bootanimation.zip in shell.

Great job, thanks!
how can i get this to work on a 320 by 480 screen?
Try to port this over to I9100 Lulz/Tegrak kernel install. Somehow, even after image converstion to PNG reduce picture count it just wouldn't work. Everything coming out black.. tried for 3 hours. Giving up.... soon...
Give up... dunno why the image is not compatible.. :S
Solved the problem, i was zipping the pictures with compression
Hi guys, I was tired of having a super fancy boot screen and I wanted something really simple so I made this boot animation. It's basically just the Android logo with a loading spinner underneath but I think it looks really nice on the device
Download below!

Should work. Try putting it in either /system/media/ or /data/local/ keeping the same name (bootanimation.zip). You'll have to use either Root Explorer or you can use adb using these commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb push /path/to/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
OR
adb push /path/to/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
Hope this helps!

Works on CM 7.1... I like it.
After hours of looking for information on changing my boot logo/splash screen I was finally able to put together something helpful for anyone else in the same boat. I wrote a bash script and bundled it with the necessities for quick and easy modification of splash screens.
Included in the attached zip you'll find:
convert.exe Copyright (C) 1999-2012 ImageMagick Studio LLC
nbimg made by XDA user pof
fastboot.exe from Android SDK
spla.sh written by myself
Instructions -
Using your favorite image manipulation tool (e.g. Photoshop, GIMP, Pixlr, etc.) create whatever you want as your boot logo. Save the image in the same directory as the included files. Using the terminal of your choice navigate to the directory you extracted the files to and run 'sudo ./spla.sh' the rest is self explanatory!
As I was messing around with this a bit more I noticed you may need to 'chmod +x nbimg' if you get a permission denied message.
DISCLAIMER: Use this at your own risk! I take no responsibility if you brick your device.

Any specific error you're getting? What's the device you're using? Do you have adb/fastboot working otherwise?
Working on any device?

Should work on almost any Android device, if not all Android devices.
Greetings.
After the existence of initial unlock of bootloader or root the boot splash could be flashed.
Code:
splash -> /dev/block/sde28
Image is gzip compressed and contains the 1080 x 2400 24 BPP bitmap image.
Img is from original rom .41.
The zip contains the original bitmap.
Feel free to repack and flash ... till then ...

Even the ozip manual update script won't work in recovery to flash the exact same file (For now every update version of splash.img is the same) for splash image.
Since I cannot get to the log or cache it's no use to proceed further.
Manual flashing of static /dev/block/ files unsuccessfull ...
Im curious how did you manage to pull out the splash.bmp sir?
Original OFP rom contains the image called splash.img or you can access it on phone via pull if you have aceess to /dev/block/sde28.
Carefully read the first post.
File splash.img contains in the original OFP ROM inside the *.ofp file.
Iz you opened it as *.gzip or extract the binary file inside and opened it as BMP file with extension *.bmp you get the 1080 x 2400 24 BPP bitmap image.
Change it and reflash if possible and voila ...
I am attempting to root a Acer Iconia B3-A40 (yuck, I know.. but my wife loves it...)
Was following the 'how to' guide here.
1. Installed Magisk

Click to collapse
3 verified image ( and found boot.img) and copied it
Step 3: Patching the boot image
And HERE' S the first problem/question:
NEXT it tells us to install
First part, fine second part not so fine. See pic:
Q1: Presuming it DIDN't work? so why did it write a file, and accept everything?
OK I SHOULD have stopped here///
But I didn't.
It did show a file at the location, I continued, tried to boot to recovery, and tablet hung. (was hanged?)
I did get tablet back up, and when it booted, the memory card was corrupted.
Hope this is a good start for someone else.
Ideas? troubleshooting tips?
thanks in advance!!!
If you save the installation log after patching the boot image and then post it here it might show more about what's going on.

Is there a chance it still exists, after 2 reboots?

No. It has to be saved before you leave the flashing window (your screenshot #3). But you can just patch the same file again and save the log without doing anything else.
