Hi everybody. Im trying to extract a boot.img so i can change the splash after the ATT logo but before the bootvideo sequence. The logo.bmp has already been prepared and is ready to be put in .I ended up I downloading this kernel for the Galaxy S Captivate and installed android kitchen and cgwin with this link but when i tried to unpack the boot.img it said:
"Android 'magic' header not found at start of boot.img
checking if it exists elsewhere...
warning: android header not found in boot.img <unsupported format>"
after that it just gives me an 0kb zimage.
Ive searched around and it seems that Samsung kernels aren't compatible or lacking something that the kitchen searches for. Is there some way to get it to work?
Why not use a kernel that already has a different splash? It also isn't the easiest thing to unpack the kernel .img. Even if you can split it, there is more work to do.
boot logo
Would it be possible just to create a flashable zip that only replaces to logo?
are you tied to glitch rom for some reason?
messing with the actual boot file is risky, imho.
TRusselo has a thread about it but I dunno up to which firmware it supports.

Tutorial for Making A CWM Flashable Modem
Many find it hard to get the specific modem (baseband) that is compatible with the ROM that they are using (flashing custom ROMs will still retain the baseband). Luckily, there is this thread [Bootloader] [Official Stock Firmwares , Kernels & Modems For i9100g] by neerajganga
However, not all modems are provided. Instead of whining and giving up hope and start the tedious process of flashing a stock firmware all over again just for the right baseband, why not make your own CWM flashable zip? It's really simple...
Instructions:
1. Download the right firmware (the one that contains the modem you require).
2. Change the extension of the firmware from .md5 to .tar (just delete off the .md5 by renaming the file and make sure the name ends with .tar)
3. Now you can open the firmware with Winrar or 7zip.
4. Extract modem.bin.
5. Download this preset CWM zip (with DXLP6 modem) modem_updater_i9100g.zip and replace the modem.bin inside the downloaded file with the one you just extracted. DO NOT modify other files.
6. You just made yourself a CWM zip with the modem of your choice...

What model are you using? This modem updater is for the GT-I9100G......or you are currently using SuperICS kernel?
yes. i recognized shortly before it's due to superics. i cannot flash anything thanks for helping .
Thank you so much @Ryuinferno , you saved my ass Your method worked on my S4 GT-I9500
Thank you Ryu , i learned something new today
Thanks for this info. Is it also possible to flash this zip via TWRP (running on Omnirom 4.4) or is it CWM only?
Should work for both

managed some soft bricks in how not to root. Odin up & waiting if a dev comes up with it
I am also waiting for the root!
not sure if it would work, but im working on a rom right now that is pre-rooted, but like i said i dont think that it will work,, i hope someone makes a cwm recovery soon
I'm currently trying to create a prerooted rom the way I did it for my tablet.
Extracting the system image from the Update package was easy, currently I'm trying to mount the syste,.img to set the rights and add the SU binaries.
If this works out, how can I flash this ROM?
With KIES? Or Update.zip on SD?
Is there an Update mode, and how can I get there?
edit: Okay... I was able to mount the System.img, but this is not that straight forward as in the img of my tablet.
I found a lot of folders, but no .apk, known folder or something I could work with.

Have you tried adb shell?. I am not allowed to post outside links, but if you type "londatiga net/it/how-to-use-android-adb-command-line-tool/" in Google, you will get the appropiate link
Could you explain with some derail how did you unbricked the phone?
Thanks a lot

I have posted here for help!
Hi guys, I'm pretty new here.
I was wondering if there is any official 4.1.1 Jellybean for SIII Mini, 'cause my phone is pretty dead at this moment. I tried to download from official servers some packages , and use them with Odin ...but the phone is still at the main screen " Samsung Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8190 ". Any ideas how to manage with this ?
Or can I use another firmware, as 2.3.4 Gingerbread?To downgrade the device just to work?

Do you tried to get some of this firmwares:
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I8190
and installing with:
trickytweaks.com/i8190xxaljl-4-1-1-jelly-bean-update-gt-i8190-s3-mini-how-to.htm
Yes, I have tried with my provider's firmware , but nothing happened. Still at logo screen. I have also tried with other firmwares, but still at a dead end. Right at this moment I'm flashing my phone again, hoping that something will change.
Had it stuck by flashing custom boot.img. Solved it by flashing 1 file image from samfirmwares as pda in Odin 1.85 default settings
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app
I have succesfully extracted the PIT file from my S3 mini with the Heimdall software, but I don't wanna use it to flash with Odin because I think it's pretty messed up. Can anyone provide me with their Galaxy S3 Mini PIT file, hoping to rescue my dead phone ?
no boot into recovery mode and wipe data/cache that should get the phone booting again, esppecially after flashing firmwares with odin

Well, if the recovery mode can be accessed with Volume Up + Home + Power, then I can say that my S III Mini won't get into it.If I press these buttons the phone just gets on, and remains at Samsung Logo. So that is why I'm asking for a PIT file, 'cause I can't get into recovery mode to erase all data, so I can flash my phone again using Odin.
I have tried all official firmwares and still nothing. I guess my SIII Mini partitions are a little (or a little more) messed up, and I need to use Re-Partition from Odin so I can revive my phone.And to do this I need a PIT file from a working phone.
Or there is another way to get into recovery mode, excepting Volump Up + Home + Power?
Thanks for the answers.

Well, the NsPro tool requiers a box, that costs 170$. The program is useless without that box. I have downloaded it and doesn't work without that box.Another solution is by using a JTAG box, which does the pretty same thing, but again, it is expensive.
I was thinking that if I'll repartion my phone it will resolve the boot.img file, because it's in the "softbrick" at this moment.
helpline
Have you tried emailing or phone SAMSUNG`s helpline, they might help.
Write this image file whit odin 1.85 and voala you phone revive.
Pls use tanks buton
That param.tar file I saw it is for S II . Does it work for a S III mini too? Aren't 2 different devices?
Hey guys just wanted to get this ppsted and possibly save some other devs a step or two. This is the new XXCLL3 firmware extracted. It is the system folder extracted but not deodexed. I just left that as is once I got it extracted. Also has the modem, boot.img and recovery.img included even though the recovery wont do much good.
THIS IS NOT FLASHABLE AND IS FOR DEVS ONLY!!!
Dump is in my Android File Host folder
Sorry about half way uploaded, just getting thread up to let devs know its gonna be posted.
Posted, have at it. Have a good weekend guys and happy deving.
Installed this odex Rom whit Mobile Odin (MO). Changed the recovery stock on MO by the recovery.img touch 6.0.1.1 that I have.
Work well. Whit MO I have counter to NO and Official Samsung, not need triangle away to reset counter.
Wait for deodexed Rom. Thanks.

I am looking for this too.
Did you find any tool?
I want to edit the kernel to make it compatible with MIUI7 ROM i've made.
Base Kernel: bauner's CM11 20151004
Did a lot of searching on xda. Tried several kitchen tools, none of them helped.
I even tried the kernel unpack repack tool for galaxy s2 but i guess it works only on JB
Please someone help
I too have searched for it a long time and finally found out that the best option is to compile a whole rom and extract the zimage from there.
PARAM BUILDER
ABOUT THIS:
Its the typical flash file to change aspects such as the bootlogo, download mode and others, I simply leave the template
HOW DO I USE IT?
Code:
#####Make custom flash file
1. Unzip
2. Inside the "param" folder u can place the images to ur liking (U need use the same resolution and format .jpg)
3. Compress as zip again
4. Install it by TWRP
5. Enjoy the changes

well im sc...d my A51 is on black screen after flashing it via twrp on A51 FD. I cannot even connect to odin neither can i go in twrp
Edit
after multiple tries some how connected to odin and flashed back again as couldnt boot to recovery or download mode everywhere black screen and absurd samsung behaviour of keeping connected to pc to boot into odin.
I finally managed to change bootsplash by opening bootloader stock file and change image with 7Zip ZS which allows to open lz4 files and then flash with odin 3.14.4 Patched version.....

Wow dude, relax.
I really didn't mean to offend you.
I've been in the same shoe you have been. Likewise, I just find it funny that we get into this trouble just because we wanted to change the boot animation, lol.
This thread was on the first page of this section.
Unfortunately, there isn't much development and community activity.
OMG brother, nice code

Hm huge delay but
Bootlogo changes have already been made with this template (U can found it in a51 telegram group), its very strange
Is it possible to change the splash screen of another samsung model using this PARAM Builder? I did a lot of research on how to change the samsung splash screen here on the XDA forums, but I only found old threads. I used some procedures, but without success. Could you take a look at my topic, and see if the procedures I've done are correct?
Thread 'Help me to change my samsung's splash screen' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-me-to-change-my-samsungs-splash-screen.4305227/
After some testing, I've managed to figure out that if you use some desktop image editing tool it might change the color profile because the image doesn't have one in its meta data, and flashing with those images may cause the boot loader to essentially soft brick because it fails to display the image. Restore the original bootloader with odin or heimdall to fix that.
I have managed to extract an icc profile from an image and it appears to be working no problem now, here's the icc profile if you need it.
