I am having the same problem

It no work...

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

Oh no! Used CF and having problem (Your device is corrupted)...urgent

Hi,
I used CF Auto root and it didnt complet the process!
I just had some alert...which was quicly disappeared:

When i boot into Bootloader I can see that:
"Device is UNLOCED Status code: 3"
I read that in order to resolve that, I should be in bootloader mode(which I can do)
and Flash system, boot, recovery.
But i just DO NOT know how...!
I even dont know which files to download?
I dont know on which android version i was.
Please help me...
Thank you!

I just did this last night. Easy fix. Follow these steps. Put all the factory image files in the platform-tools folder and run these steps in a command prompt. Let me know if you need more details. I went from never rooting a phone to loading 6.0.1 in about two hours. Which I would stay away from for now due to the battery bug. Stick with 6.0.0.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481/page62
The CF autoroot does not work for Marshmallow. Something needs to be done on this forum or lots of people are going to temporarily brick their phones.

Thanks!
Can you please look at the attached screenshor and tell me if needed files?
I extract factory image 6.0.0 (MRA58X)...
Now:
1) Which files i should copy to platform-tools folder?
2) Can I flash at the same time also SuperSU & TWRP
After i copy the file/files to platform-tools folder , is that what i should do?
1) Boot into bootloader mode.
2) Open command prompt from platform-tools .
3) Type in the command prompt window these 6 commands (1 by 1):
- fastboot erase system
- fastboot flash system system.img
- fastboot format cache
- fastboot flash cache cache.img
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- fastboot reboot.

Thank you so much!

fastboot flash twrp recovery, reboot to recovery and flash roms from there

I really need your help...
Followed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008
Clicked on the flash-all
But it tell me:
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command...."
How come?
Please - need your help.
Thank you!

TWRP downloaded and copied to:
C:\\adt-bundle-windows-x86\sdk\platform-tools
Renamed it to: twrp.img

put twrp .img in same folder as fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFIMAGE.img
that's all

Is it ok?
After waiting long to see any process in the cmd windows or in the device (nothing), This is what i get:
Maybe something is wrong with the driver?
How can i knwo (when i connected the n6 in the first time everything looked right with the driver)

you have unlocked your bootloader? you have booted to bootloader when trying fastboot?

In the bootloader i can see:
Device is UNLOCKED, Status Code: 3
I booted into by holding VOL down+power.

You are going to have to fight through it like I did till I can get back to my laptop and help. Everyone that knows what they are doing do not understand you don't know what dgbrjkgbj efvkjdfougndfj nnufiv vsibhan andighbdfiv are. The lingo is the killer in learning all this stuff. There is no plain easy to understand guide to all this which is why I have stayed away from it for so long. Every technical area has users who break it down to the most basic level. This is the exception.

@Clay
I really having difficulties understanding your main gaol with your replay.
I am sure that there is a solution to this problem.
I just need someone to explain me what is wrong here...

never seen that error about size. can't help you with that.

Trying to get someone that can help you understand that you need it broken down in more simple terms. Where to get the image from. What to do with it, when to do which step.

Download the factory image from here.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
Extract the .tgz file then the .zip file and put all the files in the platform-tools folder. You might need winrar to extract the .tgz file.
Then run the sequence below from a cmd prompt pointed to the platform-tools folder.
1) Boot into bootloader mode.
2) Open command prompt from platform-tools .
3) Type in the command prompt window these 6 commands (1 by 1):
- fastboot erase system
- fastboot flash system system.img
- fastboot format cache
- fastboot flash cache cache.img
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- fastboot reboot.

Hi,
Cant see any tgz file there...unless you meant to a ZIP file(image-shamu-mra58x) ??
Here are the files: (it's a screenshot)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3587442&stc=1&d=1450972618

The .tgz file is the original file you download from this site. The factory image.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
Extract the .tgz file, then the .zip file that extracts from the .tgz file, place all those files in the platform-tools folder then run the sequence above.

place all those files in the platform-tools folder

Do i need to take only the files that created from the extracted zip file?

Do i need to take only the files that created from the extracted zip file?

I don't know what twrp is yet, so you'll have to get help from someone else on that one.
---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------
I put everything in the platform-tools folder. As long as you have the files mentioned in the fastboot steps you should be good.

@Clay
As we can't post images by this kind of commants, pleas see bellow the attached image.
I extracted it correctly?
Thanks!

Convert TWRP .img to .tar (for ODIN)[Easy]

Sometimes the latest version of TWRP is in ".img", so some people use an older version instead, which is in .tar, so they can flash it with ODIN. The thing is that the ".tar" version is just the ".img" compressed XD, so I'm going to show you how to "convert" .img to .tar.
// TUTORIAL
1 - Download and install 7-zip
2 - Download the latest TWRP .img
3 - Open a file explorer, rename the downloaded file to: recovery.img
4 - Right click on the file > 7-zip > Add to archive...
5 - In this screen you can change the file name and, most important, in "Archive format" choose "tar"
6 - Open ODIN and flash the new file as always
Note: maybe other .img files (I mean other than the TWRP recovery) works too.
// SCREENSHOT
This is how the final file should look:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
// Other stuff
[MOD] Centered clock in status bar [6.0.1][.ZIP][SM-N910C]
You can try this too to convert the .img to a "tar.md5": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269

is this method for MM build? (N910C)

Edited.

It doesn't matter the version I guess.
The TWRP that I show in the screenshot is the one I'm using right now on MM (SM-N910C).

Is there a way to do the opposite direction, convert odin flashable tar to twrp flashable zip? Like to flash Samsung stock rom with twrp..

I have the same query. But seems that none exists!

Sorry for the resurrection but I wasted time trying to use this and wanted to say something.
I tried to use 7zip to create a .tar file for Odin and it didn't work for me personally. SeaFargo also says that 7zip .tars are not compatible with Odin.
SeaFargo's response is over at "[Script][Tool] how to create a tar.md5 file from img For Odin" by mkh.mourad. First page. New user here so I cannot post external links.

what about covert odin flashable files to twrp flashable files ?

Sorry I mean:
1.Extract tar by 7zip or winrar
2. fastboot flash recovery C://recovery.img for recovery image and fastboot flash system C://system.img for system image which C:// recovery.img and C:// system.img should be replaced by the directory of the image
3.reboot and enjoy!
Remember delete meta inf folder

No splash.img is static part if you want to edit animation part of your phone's boot sequence you should change/edit bootanimation. Basically you can use any 30second video and turn it into a bootanimation.
