First, there is no error message.
I was using this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11745519&postcount=21) to try to downgrade my nexus one, after extreme irritation with gingerbread 2.3.3. When I got to step 8, it never automatically search for that, I think. Instead, I get this pic.

It flashes briefly for half a second, so I had to take the picture to be able to read it.
So, for my question, what should I do? Thanks in advance!

Hey
Make sure you're using the correct stock rom (FRG33). Try downloading the rom again.
Regards
Raptor
Yes, I have thee FRG33 one, from shipped ROMs. (Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.z
ip). It was the only FRG33 one I found there. Still getting the same thing, every time.
When they say place it in the root of your SD card, just put it on the first part of the card? Not in any folders, right?
You have the file in the right place, because your phone is finding it. I've no idea what the "lack of heap" error is, or how to get around it, but it's not a file location problem...

So, there aren't any solutions for this? Would it help to say I'm on a dev phone?
Unlock phone,flash custom recovery, flash rom.

Upon reading and re-reading the guide over and over, I found a different problem. When I extract the file, I get 9 other files, not just the one.
"2. Extract the zip file contained within the zip you downloaded. You should have a file called PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_relea se_signed.zip"
What I get are all these files in a folder:
android-info (txt file)
boot (disc image file)
hboot_850_0.35.0017_100610.nb0 (nb0 file)
radio (disc image file)

spcustom (disc image file)

Am I somehow extracting it wrong?
It's a zip within a zip. Extract it and repeat.
Oh, I didn't see you post, so I edited my previous one to save space. I checked it and got these inside of it:

Listen. You need to have a zip file on the root of your sdcard which contains those 9 files that you mentioned, and is called PASSIMG.zip. There's nothing more to it than that.

Well, I have that, so something on my phone may be messed up?
In the highlighted folder is exactly where I have those 9 files. The folder is in the very first section of the SD card, as seen in the first place it's highlighted.
In Java "lack of heap" means that you don't have enough memory, is that my problem you think?
There's some confusion somewhere, you want a zip file, not a folder.

Like Rusty said, those files need to be in a zip file called PASSIMG.zip, not a folder. Don't extract them!

So, I should just skip step 2? I end up with the file listed in the second part of the step before extracting.
When I right click --> properties the filetype is "File folder(.zip)"
Sorry to be such a hassle, but I'm really new at this type of stuff.

Do you know what a zip file is? Do you know what the difference is between a file and a folder? Do you know how to extract the contents of a zip file? These are basic computer issues, that if you are not familiar with, I would figure those out first before attempting anything.
Now, assuming you know the answers to the questions above: the file I linked to in the guide you referenced is a zip file. INSIDE that zip file is ANOTHER zip file. THAT is the file that you need to place in the root for your sdcard, NOT the contents of the second zip file...
You pic shows you have a folder called PASSIMG.zip, which tells me you probably extracted the contents of the second zip file, which you should not have done.

Proof of Concept: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rGRZgry8lk
Tools Needed:
Samsung Epic running DK28 ***MUST BE ROOTED*** (See Question #5 below for non rooted devices)
Heimdall 1.1.1 (I'm not going to get into how to install the drivers...read the README) Download HERE
Modified param.lfs HERE
ADB or terminal emulator
480x800 jpg 64KB or less in size (use the above image as a template if you need to) or use the skull logo from the video HERE UPDATE: blademonkey posted some more logos that should work here
Steps:
1. Unplug and power off your phone and put it into download mode by holding '1' on the keyboard while powering on.
2. Open Heimdall and select the modified param.lfs (make sure no other boxes are checked besides the param.lfs box)
3. Hit start and let the phone reboot. (I didn't but if you get a garbled screen on boot just ignore it)
4. After the phone boots copy the new jpg file to the sdcard via 'adb push newlogo.jpg /sdcard/' or mounting the sdcard on your computer.
5. open an 'adb shell' or your favorite terminal emulator and issue the following commands and replace newlogo.jpg with your file name:
Code:
$ su
# cp /sdcard/newlogo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg
6. Reboot your phone the normal way or just type 'reboot' and look for your new logo to show up!
Q&A:
1. Why 64KB or less for the jpg? Well the original logo.jpg is 64KB and with replacing files on flash memory it is a good idea to stick to that or smaller. I have tested with jpg files ranging from 11KB-58KB. If any one feels daring and wants to push a bigger jpg then please post your results. In theory, the partition is 5120KB which would leave us with about 3800KB free on that partition. But I would still recommend sticking to 64KB or less.
2. Why Heimdall and not odin? Whenever I tried to flash with Odin it soft bricked my phone every time. Returning to download mode and using Heimdall to flash the param.lfs file worked every time for me (and unbricked my phone). I used Odin 1.3 with and without the victory .pit and I don't know if it was my .tar or what but it never goes through. If any one wants to figure out why it doesn't work in Odin or figures out how to make it work then please post in this thread and I'll update the OP.
3. Why does the Samsung logo still show up after my image? The logo is a two part deal. The first part is contained in the param.lfs file that we are dealing with here. The second part is somewhere in the kernel. If some one knowledgeable wants to try and tackle the kernel I would be very interested to know how. It may not be possible until we get the source code.
4. Can I do this with ClockworkMod? I attempted to make a zip to flash the param.lfs with redbend_ua doing a redbend_ua restore does not flash correctly. In fact after I flashed with CWM the phone does not even mount /dev/block/stl6 (seen as bml6 by CWM) anymore. If any one has any ideas or can figure this out please let me know. This would allow the ROM developers another way to include a new logo in their ROM.
5. How can I replace the logo on my NON-ROOTED DK28 phone? To do this you will need a dump of the param.lfs from some one else's phone that has already followed the above steps. To dump an existing param.lfs in an adb shell or terminal and 'dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/param.lfs' Then you can flash the modified param.lfs with Heimdall and ignore the rest of the steps above.
How it Works: (If you are curious)
The boot logo is stored /dev/block/stl6 which is mounted in /mnt/.lfs/ on the file system. By typing 'mount' in a terminal you can see it is mounted as a j4fs file system. From what I understand in my research is that j4fs is a closed source type of file system and is not well documented. Also you might notice it is mounted 'rw' but this is only partially true. You CAN create a NEW file in /mnt/.lfs/ but you can NOT delete or modify an existing file in that partition. So how do we get replace that logo.jpg to our custom image? We don't replace it. Instead I used a hex editor on the DK28 stock param.lfs file and changed every instance of '6C 6F 67 6F 2E 6A 70 67' to '6C 30 67 30 2E 6A 70 67' What this did is change the logo.jpg file name to l0g0.jpg. This allows us to flash that modified param.lfs and put a new logo.jpg on that partition. This same method could be used to replace the other files you can see in the /mnt/.lfs/ folder. Ideally I would have liked to delete the original jpg file all together but after many many different attempts, I couldn't find a way to do so. I'm also a noob when it comes to hex editing (this was my first time) so I don't posses the knowledge to do it that way nor do we know enough about the j4fs to make it happen.

Why can't you just rename a jpg with the proper dimensions and size the same as the Samsung image and replace the original image using Root Explorer? We already know the location, size, and dimensions of the image.

Read 'How it works' in the OP. With j4fs partitions you can only create a NEW file. You can not modify, rename, or delete an existing file. And yes the method you are suggesting was the first thing I tried.
Question? Will this be like the evo where if you flash a new rom it will stay or will you have to refash every time a new rom is flashed?

While my LG Black doesn't arrive I don't have a way to toy around with it since KDZ files come with a WDB inside (which can't be unpacked) unlike the DZ file used before.
That being said, can anyone get me a nandroid .img files?
In practice I only need boot.img and system.img but I'm a bit curious about the rest so I'd appreciate if anyone could zip them all, upload them somewhere (multiupload.com) and post here the link.
For a nandroid backup, you need cwm installed (follow the tutorial in this section), then you just need to boot into the custom recovery (use AnReboot for example) and pick backup. Afterwards, you can find the backup files in internal or external sdcard on /clockworkmod.
Thanks.

hey dude ,can you please share how were you got the img files ?through dd command or convert .kdz file ?
I got the img files by doing a backup with cwm. Just install cwm as it is discribed in the tutorial and go to recovery mode using anreboot. Choose the backup option at recovery UI. After that open your sdcard/clockworkmod and get the img files and thats it.

Like I've written in the first post, P970's KDZ files don't have a DZ inside but a WDB which can't be unpacked.
So that guide won't work.

Here's the google translate translation for this (saved time for you).
"1 Extract the official ROM
Download the official rom tools required:
Visitors, if you want to view hidden content please reply to this post
1) Download the tool to extract to any folder
I have the tools in "D: \ KDZtools" under
2) Extract the KDZ file, for example here in Hong Kong line V10A
Will V10A_00.kdz into any folder, where I put "D: \ ROM" folder.
Run KDZtools inside KP500-Utils-EN.exe, input i, carriage return (to extract files from KDZ)
Enter KDZ files, D: \ ROM \ V10A_00.kdz, Enter
The same directory to find V10A_00.cab file, extract the CAB file to get dz file, Hong Kong Bank V10A as: LGP500AT-00-V10a-454-XX-OCT-05-2010 +0- DZ.dz
3) Extract the files DZ
Extract the files need to use DZExtract.exe DZ
In the command line into the ROM folder: cd D: \ ROM
In the command line, enter D: \ KDZtools \ DZExtract.exe-x LGP500AT-00-V10a-454-XX-OCT-05-2010 +0- DZ.dz
Completed in the current folder will be a lot of files, which boot.img, system.mbn_0, system.mbn_1, system.mbn_2 we need the file.
4) merge and extract system.mbn
System.mbn to extract three files must first be combined to continue the command line, enter: copy / b system.mbn_0 + system.mbn_1 + system.mbn_2 system.mbn
Will system.mbn to a new folder, for example D: \ ROM \ system, enter the command: D: \ KDZtools \ unyaffsmbn.exe system.mbn
After completion of the official rom will be in system directory of all files, then you can delete system.mbn the.
5) Production of basic rom package
With 7-zip or winrar and other tools to create a zip format compressed archive
Step 3 will be the boot.img and 4 together to get the system folder into the directory with the compressed package to save.
Note: v10e, v10b etc. 2.2.1 version of the rom can not require special handling or root, as follows:
system / bin folder, delete all the file size of 28 bytes of system files.
Here we have a base rom package, you can begin to develop after a rom.
(2) customize their own ROM
Here you can own the "custom ROM" gorilla in the kitchen area to use the system"

i'm testing in day-a-day use
So after searching the intarwebz for considerably longer than should have been necessary, I decided to write this up, hoping it might save someone else some time with this.
First of all, I really liked this one photoframe mod called StickyTape. After a while of searching (and a dozen or two dead download links later), I finally found a working link, only to see the MIUI theme manager not recognize it. Long story shot, it came down to two issues.
1) the mtz was in the wrong folder. For previous releases, I found somewhat conflicting info. One source said the photoframe should go in /sdcard/MIUI/gadget/. Another said it should go in /sdcard/MIUI/gadget/photo_frame. I also read sources that said the archive should be extracted into that folder, and others that said not to extract it. Both are wrong.
2) format of the files in the mtz was incorrect.
Here's how it works now.
1) For many of the current photoframe mods you might come across, the file structure will be pretty much the same. If you download an .mtz file, rename it to a .zip file. Then extract the contents of that zip file. (If you use 7zip, you should be able to right-click it and extract it using the 7zip options in the context menu without renaming the file extension.)
The files in this archive are always the same.
image.png
frame.png
filter.png
description.xml
a folder named "preview" with an image preview for the mod. for the photoframe, it will be one or both of these:
preview_photo_frame_big_0.png
preview_photo_frame_small_0.png
The problem is that many of the mods you currently may come across, will not have the files compressed. It will look like this:
{
"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"
}
2)What's different now is that the preview folder and xml file are not compressed, but the 3 images must be bundled into a zip file called "photoframe_2x2", where the 2x2 part changes, depending on whether it's a 2x2, 2x4, or 4x4 photoframe. Regardless of what frame it is, that is always the file name. The mtz that it's in, will tell you which one it is. This is true of other theme mtz files now as well. The content must be compressed in a zip file (with the .zip extension removed).
3) after you have extracted the images and made the changes you want to make, select the 3 images, right-click and select "Add to Archive." I'll continue with the StickyTape as my example:
For Archive Format, select zip. For compression method, I don't know if it matters, but I chose "Store." The default option is "Normal."
4) Once you have created the zip file, rename it by removing the ".zip" from the end of the file name. If it's not already names "photoframe_2x2" or whatever size it is, then do that as well. When you get a warning about changing the extension possibly making the file unusable, just tell Windows to shut up.
5) Now you should have 3 items. The preview folder, the description.xml file, and the photoframe zip archive that does not have a .zip file extension. For the description.xml file, it contains the following:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<photo_frame>
<!-- t: hxw 1: 1x2 2: 2x2 8: 4x4 -->
<type>2</type>
<title>StickyTape2x2</title>
<version>0</version>
<platformVersion>0</platformVersion>
</photo_frame>
The only thing you will need to change is the "type" option and the title. As indicated by the line above it, enter type "1" if it's a 1x2, "2" for a 2x2, etc.
Also, give the mod a name on the title line.
6) Now you'll do the same thing as you did in step 4 with these 3 items. Highlight all 3, right-click and "add to archive" and select zip.:
7) rename the zip file by changing the file extension from ".zip" to ".mtz"
8) Copy the mtz to /sdcard/MIUI/theme. the /MIUI/gadget folder is not used. On some builds (like the unofficial port for my Skyrocket) the location is /emmc/MIUI/theme as /emmc is the internal sdcard while /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard is the external sdcard. Now, just add a widget and select the frame you added and enjoy.

"Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist." None of the "DOWNLOAD" links I tried are working. And the alternate at the bottom of the OP gives a 404. Two different browsers, same results.
do these links work for anyone?

IF you are referring to the links in post #1, I just tried the last 2 working from the bottom up and YES the links caused a file to download to my PC from a Google Drive. But using my PC web browser, they seem to be downloading as .exe files, which makes no sense.
You can't run .exe files on an Android, and why would you need Windows .exe files for an Android boot logo on a PC? An EXE file is to INSTALL something on a PC. I scanned with Malwarebytes and there was no threat detected.
I took a peak at one using 7-Zip and Resource Hacker. Using 7-Zip, I found it is a compressed file that contains: ADB, mfastboot, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, a logo.bin file, a copy of the image in JPG format, an icon file, and a command file to automate the process of flashing from Windows and open the website www.maxximizar.vai.la (redirects to maxximizar.wordpress.com) in your default browser when done. Using Resource Hacker I found it is a self-extracting archive made using WinRAR using a custom icon, so that's why it's an .exe instead of .zip, .rar, etc.

I made those EXE files because it's easier to flash logo trough fastboot commands and those EXE ia an automated way to do it on your computer. I linked the .bin files if anyone wants to do it backuping/restoring the right partition from Android terminal or third app..
So I have tried to flash realme 8 stock rom. I have downloaded the stock firmware appropriate for my region (Philippines). I have extracted the .ofp file ready for flashing, but as I was about to flash it, I noticed multiple super.img files and a super_map.csv.
I opened the super_map.csv and saw different regions, including PH (Philippines.)

I only needed files for PH, so I deleted other regions and I am left with these three super.img files:
So for me to flash super.img, I only need one super.img. How do I merge these? Please help me

hello, from where did you downloaded the stock firmware? is it exported or already decrypted ? i need RU firmware ?
PS: I guess you have to select only one which is "PH" stands for Philippine ! thank you in advance (just wait for the others confirmations)

Hi, I got it from here (https://realmefirmware.com/realme-8-firmware/). I think there is also a Russian region variant here if you are looking for it.

Get a copy of simg2img.exe (from CRB kitchen)
Put that into your extracted firmware folder or a folder containing your multiple super.img(s)
Open cmd into that folder
Type the command
simg2img.exe super0.xxx.img super1.yyy.img super2.zzz.img super.img
You'll get combined super.img (x, y, z referring to those random numbers)

thank you also for this! i didn't know there was another way to use simg2img other than using Ubuntu Linux and then installing it there, but thanks for the response! i was able to merge it using simg2img.
I know I'm over looking at something obvious here, but my simg2img has no extension? Can't seem to run it via powershell or CMD? How is this done, please? I moved my super.img stuff in the folder, put CMD in the address bar (where full file path is displayed) and tried to start my command with simg2img. Failed however.

known file type extensions are hidden in windows by default, if you are still sure there is no .exe just add it, and what was the error in cmd.
