You need CreateG1Splash.
Tutorial is here...
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Creating_Splashboot_Images
Just go down half the page,download the zip. Creat an image in .png and use CreateG1Splash.exe to convert.... Next yoou need to flash it on your device.
Fastboot flash splash1 C:\Mysplash.rgb565 (if it is in your root of the C: drive).

isnt that just a stand still image? I want to make the moving thingy

the SPLASHSCREEN is the very first image. it is flashed through fastboot (and only through fastboot) and is a still image.
the BOOTSCREEN is the animated gif which is played after the splashscreen is shown, until the ui has loaded. it is a part of the rom, can be pushed via adb or flashed via update.zip.

Make an animated .gif of the right resolution (not sure exactly but I think it's anything smaller than the screen res..) and flash it to the correct folder.

I know I have posted this on another thread, but redmdc should be praised for this. Check the thread below, you can put your own bootscreen in and change other aspects in a gui.

[Q] [NAND][Android] Change 2nd Bootscreen

I am looking for a way to change the SECOND Splash/Bootscreen. The one that comes after MGLDR and before the bootanimation.
I have searched a lot in this forum, but i can find only tutorials to change the frist splashscreen or the bootanimation.
Any help?

Agreed. I really want to know how to do this.

If you know how to edit initrd.gz, then you can change it.

Can you tell me more about that?

Now that NAND ANDROID is a reality for the HD2 I have seen users asking for Android Splash Screens so I thought I would make some and pass them on. I am also supplying the LEO Stock Splash Screen if you want to go back.
Simply follow the instructions:
1. Download the desired Splash Screen and extract the contents to a new folder on your pc.
2. Shut down your phone (doesnt matter if you have already flashed a NAND Android Rom)
3. Enter Bootloader Mode by Holding the 'Volume Down' button while briefly pressing the 'Power' button. Keep holding the 'Volume Down' button until the tri colour screen appears.
4. Plug in your usb cable so that it says 'usb' at the bottom of the screen
5. Run the CustomRuu.exe file and follow the instructions
6. When flashing is complete the phone will reboot

Initrd.gz is is found in boot partition of each build along with zImage. If you know how to gunzip and edit files inside that file, then you can change the image after magldr/before bootanimation.zip.

To get files from official samsung repository you need to have a decryption key and that algorithm is not that hard to keep us out. :laugh:

It's not a web browser link, it's bit more complicated.
Every request needs a special generated samsung request token, and that's a little developer secret.
In reference to the decrypting I'm still stucking a little bit. I can extract it exactly bit to bit and modify the system.img files, thats not the point.
The point is to get the modified files back into a working .img file that can be integrated along with boot.img and all its components to a .tar.md5 file.
If you want, I upload you all of the extracted system files, maybe two brains are better than one.
But I am sure you are smart enough to get your system.img extracted by yourself, since you released your own custom ROM and a tutorial.

Thought you released your APA3 debloated ROM. Doesn't it work?
If so, we're in the same ****ing boat. :laugh:
I tried all possible ways, from Windows Tools over Linux ext4 tools but none of them get the right bit size for the image to flash properly.
For god's sake, bljad*.
Anyways, if you made a way to solve this problem, let me know.
Same goes for me, if I do, I'll drop you a message.

I did not knew about FAP lock. It gave me some troubles at the start... I am doing this for the first time on Samsung device.
I have done it all, except #12. I could not flash auto root. Dont know why...

Due to FAP Lock.
This happens if your device is brand new or while the first ROM flash, due to the stock disabled setting of OEM Unlock.
Resolve:
#1 - Add your Google Account to your new flashed ROM
#2 - Settings - About Device - Tap 7 times on build number to enable developer options.
#3 - Settings - Developer Options - Enable OEM Unlock - Enable USB Debugging.
#4 - Power Off - Remove Battery - Press Power a few times (to eliminate the rest electricity like on a pc)
#5 - Insert Battery - Boot into Download Mode - Continue with Step #12 (Rooting)
If you still have any trouble, let me know.

Mine doesn't work I get a lot of line errors.
Maybe anyone has a solution.

Any ToT file for disabling big cores?

Hello everyone.
Unfortunately my lg g4 bootlooped. And after extensive Google search, i see that most models have a tot file which disables big cores so u can run the phone on the small cores
Does the T-Mobile variant have such a tot file? if yes then can somebody give me the link? if no then can somebody create one using the following info?
Agimax said:
Why not just edit the files below for the two large cores (if you have root):
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/online (open file and change from a one to a zero)
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/online (open file and change from a one to a zero)
You could also just have the startup file do it (can modify the ripped system partition & put back on phone):
etc/dir/init.qcom.post_boot.sh (find your processor code - 8992 and add echo lines there with the rest of the cpu commands)

Someone also fixed the Nexus 6 bootloop by creating modified images which disable the big cores.

Afaik you need a box to create tot files.
Besides this I have never created any big core disabling but I know @the_naxhoo has.
if you can reach the download mode you could flash with the lglaf shell a modified boot image which is doing the job. If you do not have Linux get your copy of FWUL which has everything on board (like the lglaf shell).
The modded boot image has to disable the cores either by the cmdline or the sys echo or both. I saw that cmdline thing during my unlock attempts and think those are much better then the echo to sys..
Creating a kdz would be maybe possible
creating a TWRP zip for sure but I'm very very busy at the moment...
So just one more time (as still not answered.. ) do you had TWRP installed before the bootloop occurs?
...and If so what happens when you try to get into it?

Cmdline is how I disabled the cores on the Nexus, the fix is easy to do on a boot.img, but LG uses the KDZ files, which use a totally different file structure, and I'm not sure if the LG flash tool has file checks, even on unlocked bootloaders. I will do some research and see what I can do. If anyone has any knowledge on modifying kdz files, please tell me.

asked steadfasterx about kdz and his reply is as follows
steadfasterX said:
me too. never created KDZs yet but there are tools for it - afaik.
My first approach would have been to flash the boot image in the download mode with the lglaf shell (https://github.com/steadfasterX/lglaf/tree/g4) .
requires to do a flash of a modified boot image with dd on /dev/block/mmcblk0 with the correct seek ..

Change bootsplash troubleshooting

Hello, I am new to xda and I hope you can help me
I changed the bootsplash of my s10 with TWRP following this tutorial.
It works well as you can see in boot_aston.jpg. But after this screen I have another samsung one as you can see in boot_samsung.jpg.
Is it possible to edit or delete this screen ?
EDIT 1 : I decompressed the up_param tar to see what was inside and it seems that the samsung screen isn't in there...

there must be another place that you need to change the file the bootloader is looking for if its showing you 2 different pictures.

This is what I deduced too. But I'm totally a noob on the Android bootloader so I don't know where to look for that second image. I have already searched everywhere on XDA but no one seems to be talking about it ...

SOLUTION :
When rooted in a adb shell, delete the system/media/bootsamsung.qmg file.
Works perfectly for me

well, there ya go! i assume that by deleting the second image it no longer thinks it has 2 to display thereby making it just use that one the user wanted in the first place

In up_param.bin image.jpg and image svb_orange.jpg need be the same.

I have a feeling that's just the stock boot animation

But I like that Aston Martin boot splash,can I get one for the s10e
