Hi I was able to do this with my S7edge, has anyone done this with the note 8, I want to install the stock screens rather than the carrier ones.
Thanks
The carrier ones are located in /system/omc/"your carrier csc"/res/media
Stock should be located in system/media
Delete the ones in you carrier csc folder or replace them with the ones you want.
Thanks for replying, my csc has been the same as my S7 edge and it doesnt have any splash logos, infact the directory doesnt even exist (csc"/res/media)
The actual splash screen is there even before the phone boots into the operating system, so I think its somewhere else earlier in the bootup sequence.
Thanks

What I meant by your CSC folder is look in the OMC folder. I don't know what carrier you have, look in the directory I mentioned, ie for tmobile = /system/omc/tmb/res/media. You shouldn't have an actual CSC folder like older phones did unless you flash a CSC created by someone that uses that directory.
I have created my own CSC file which lives into the system directory. The omc directory has been deleted, even with the stock omc directory the splash screen was the same. I have even flashed the appropriate stock rom for my carrier and it didnt change it. Maybe I just gotta suck it up and live with it. I just wanted the generic note 8 splash boot logo.

Ok, in that case try replacing the bootsamsung.qmg file in system/media.

And bootsamsungloop.qmg & shutdown.qmg also if needed.
Is this for only root people?

Hey I tried this by renaming those 2 files as .bak files, what it did was remove the stock splash screen i.e. blackscreen still with the overlay of my carrier.
Do you think its hardcoded into the phone?

You have to replace them with the ones you want (ie international ones). When I mentioned deleting I was talking about the ones in OMC if you had installed your own CSC on an unbranded phone. It sounds like you originally have a carrier version phone or firmware so the ones in system/media are the branded ones.
Just to be clear we are talking about the boot animation screens after the initial black & white "Samsung Note 8" splash screen during boot? The initial splash screen is different, that one is not in /system. I don't know where that ones is hidden exactly, I believe it's part of the kernel, I never tried to change it.
The actual stock logos appear but they appear after the carrier one flashes for a few seconds.....maybe I just got to suck it up.(But it does annoy me)
Thanks

1) Has anyone found a way to do this without root?
2) If not, and you root, then remove the carrier splash screen and jingle, can you then un-root without it restoring the carrier branding, yet have (virtually) all apps act as though the phone had never been rooted?

This is just a quick little script I threw together to remove the blinding white T-Mobile logo from boot. It replaces the carrier branding with the loop that Samsung intended and should be much easier on your eyes in dark settings.
All this file does is make a backup of bootsamsungloop.qmg and replace it with the same file from the Canadian W8 rom.
Everything should be working! If not, please let me know.
Step 1) Flash in TWRP
-if you use an automated script installer like Flashify, TWRP might tell you the install failed. However, I found this to be false.
Step 2) Profit
Thanks
you can just delete that file (bootsamsungloop.qmg) and reboot, the tmobile boot screen will be gone and it will show samsung

I'm not entirely positive how flashfire works so I'm hesitant to say yes or no. Alternatively, you can also use the no flash method -- take the files in the archive, delete the one in your system, replace it with the file in the zip and set permission to 644

You can delete the shutdown.qmg file from /system/media which will take away the samsung/t-mobile screen completely (replaces it with system dialog box and spinner and just says "Shutting Down") or you can try replacing it with this one from the international version (which I believe just says Samsung).
Contents of the zip are NOT flashable -- use your favorite file explorer to copy and change permissions to 644

You would have to grab the shutdown.qmg from a t-mobile rom and overwrite the one you have currently. I don't currently have any t-mobile roms on hand or I would grab the file for you myself.

Hello All!
As per the advice seen above in the thread, i've tried to delete the bootsamsungloop.qmg and the shutdown.qmg files, in order to get rid of the T Mobile screen, but i wasn't able to delete them, altough everytime i've tried, root browser was telling me that file has been deleted. But those files are still there. My Galaxy S7 is not rootet, it's running its official marshmallow.
Any further advice please? Would be much appreciated!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Deleting these two files bootsamsungloop.qmg and shutdown.qmg on my SM 910T Note 4 completely removed the T-mobile splash screens during bootup and shut down.
This was way simpler than flashing a ROM or using an app.
My eyes are no longer blinded during boot up in the dark and shut down no longer lingers on a T-Mobile logo. :laugh:
As mentioned earlier your phone must be rooted in order to successfully delete these files.
Do i have to root my phone ? I get this error message saying the copy task failed /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg (Read-only file system). what can i do here ?
I wasn't really thrilled with the stock boot animation so I made a few others
Zen Nexus
Download
Zen Spin (default on Garbage Gone)
Download
Stock boot animation in case you need it
Download
All of these zips are twrp flashable
Enjoy
also thanks to @Harfainx for the flashable zip compatible with the ZF2
Woohoo! Awesome :highfive:
Just tried flashing the Zen Nexus animation in TWRP, and I still have the stock animation.

Just tried it again and TWRP says that the flash was successful, but it didn't take. Also tried your other animation with the same result. I do still have the white animation from when I unlocked the bootloader. Do I need to fastboot the stock black one first? Good to see you over here from the HTC M7 forums. Thanks for the work.

are you flashing these on a 551?
Also the nexus boot did have issues for me but the other 2 were fine. and no the white spalshscreen doesn't have anything to do with the boot animation.
Also yeah i'm having a good time here, Asus invited me to the launch event, still have my m8 on sprint but this is on my AT&T line

I just installed the black boot animation from the unlock bootloader thread via fastboot, booted to system, then rebooted to recovery and flashed the Nexus animation. Now it works and looks great too.
Hi thoughtlesskyle, only the Nexus isn't working the other two are. thanks.

Hi. It's already working, i download your file again. BTW, the first nexus file that i've downloaded was around 8MB now this file is around 4MB.

what is the difference between the zip file format/contents referenced in this post and the one at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852621
I want to start creating my own boot animations, but don't know where to begin. The referenced link is quite old so I suspect it is probably obsolete.
Boowho??
I DL'ed the Nexus one and flashed it to the ZF2.
I have thee 550 so the resolution was obviously wrong, but the anim DID show at boot up.
SO..... I extracted the bootanimation.zip and ran all the .png files thru a resolution changing program.
ALL the converted images look fine and the desc.txt file appears to be correct to, AFAIK.
So I put the new bootanimation.zip in system/media
But the new anim does not appear at bootup.
What I should I be looking for in my new file that could be causing the problem? Case sensitive, maybe; or some other small issue??

Yes, I did sir...... I used a tool called Boot Animation Factory.
But the problem turned out to be permissions.
I set everything to rwx for owner, group and others. In Linux AKA as 777
Worked perfectly.
Thanks for your interest and suggestion.

I think any animation of our resolution will work.

MM will not support sound in the boot animation, only a carrier added boot animation, that's added to the device, and not through the normal way a boot animation is added, will it support sound.

Thanks for your help. (folder was not there). fyi I dont even actually have a G4 was just asking around trying to find where this carrier folder is, was hoping to find it on this Boost (Sprint?) LG Stylo 2 to be able to unlock carrier like how you can do on a bunch of different LG phones locked to sprint....any other ideas perhaps?
I have the nck codes and all that, but no method to input them as it seems boost/sprint disable the 2945#*xxx# method to get to an unlock menu.
concerning that 2945 method, does that come back after loading a custom rom when you wipe out the sprint rom?

Have u tried inserting a gsm sim and see if it asks for unlock code. Also i used to use one of the idoneapps gt 3.1.5. Which is no longer freely distributed. But u can find it online some where i believe if u click on uicc unlock it tame h tl the menu u need to enter code. Or at least on some samsungs and lgs not all. U do need root for this app. Also look up galaxy tools. I cant verify it brings u to said menu. As mine already unlocked and thats all it says.

New sets don't have folder in system they made partition of carrier instead of folder, check cat partition or ls platform by-name you will see carrier partitions there..

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.

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
