Bootup Screen For Kyocera Zio M6000

First and foremost i want to thank esk02k and his friend for the images. All Credit goes to him for the images check out his post on xda called the thc weed leaf (i would post the link to his page but it wont let me says out side links are not allowed by new users but yet its an internal link). I didnt use all of them as there was only 37 images that i had to replace and i couldnt find the file that links to the boot up animation png files to add in the extra files so i used most of them and all i did was make it to the right size and converted them from jpg to png.
I am using the stock rom and my phone is rooted using universal androot version 1.6.2 beta5 (search for 1-click root for N1 to find this it will work on this phone) you have to install super user then you need root explorer found in the market. Now on to how to install this.
1) Install universal androot and the root explorer run universal androot to get your phone rooted you may chose soft root which only lets you temporary root till you reboot (dont worry it will not void your warrenty)
2) Download kyocera zio m6000.zip at the bottom of this post and extract it to a folder on your pc
3) Copy the folder to the root of your sd card
4) Open up root explorer and click on /data/FLEX/bootanimation
5) Copy Startup_Sound_M6000.ogg from the folder you copied to your sd card to the /data/FLEX/bootanimation folder overwriting the one in there
6) Next goto /data/FLEX/bootanimation/assets folder and copy all the png files from the folder you copied to your sd card to the assets folder over writing the ones in there
7) Exit out of root explorer and reboot your phone to see your new boot up screen and enjoy the first mod for this phone. (Note im not sure why the android screen dont show up no more when none of the files that was replaced was the android png files only the cricket png files are replaced)
Well there you have it the very first mod for this phone i hope you all like it as this is my first attempt at making a boot up screen animation im not sure how to make it animate more so please give constructive critisim do not bash it please and please tell esk02k thank you for all the hard work he did with the images all i made was the start up sound and resized the images and converted them to png to work on this phone so in all it only took me bout 7 hours his work was a ton harder and probably took him days maybe weeks. So major props to esk02k
**edit** Wow i started this by making the first mod for the phone and showed you all where to replace the stuff and got the ball rolling and not one thank you. Wow it shows me how much im appreiated here.

Everytime I try to copy the files, it says I do not have enough space. What do I need to get rid of?

Remove some unwanted apps or apps that came on the stock rom that are worthless to you i removed the demo games that the company put on it and that gave me enough free space you need 6.50 mega bytes free to use this i made it as small as i could with out making it look like crap. you can remove some of the apps from /data/app i would recomend to back up the files before u delete them in case u have to put them back.

I have tried to copy the new pngs to the assets folder, but every time. I do, the original files replace the new ones. The closest I got was when I rebooted and I saw the first png of the original cricket boot animation, then it skipped all but the very last one of the new png I attempted to install.
Can anybody help me?

Apparently, the same number of images as the original must be used?
I tried one of my own, using boot screen found elsewhere on XDA that had more images. Didn't work.
Going to play around w/ the images today, reduce the count to the same as the original and see if that's indeed the case.
Or maybe it was the size of the images. I dunno yet.

Doesn't do a thing to my Cricket Zio.

Zip threads
Well, the 2.2 thread appears to refer to the windows downloader, with which I have two problems:
1) I don't run windows but linux, and
2) To do this, it appears I need to get into USB debug mode. I'm stuck in fastboot.
What I think I really need is the stock ROM from the Sanyo Zio. Does somebody here have this?

I can see if I can use adb to pull the 2.2 rom and if I have any luck I will let you know

I'm wondering if ReactOS is far enough along to run the updater. Will have to give it a try, liveCD.
No go. Booted the live CD, couldn't access any of the media devices to access the update tool.

Hmm
but listen, I can't get the phone into USB debug mode, so how can I run the updater? At the moment I'm stuck with fastboot. Normal boot is black screen, no response of any kind, no adb.

Turn the phone off, hold volume up down and power and your phone will bopt into modem download mode. Then update.

[SCRIPT] Soft Brick Recovery

For Windows users, I've created a script based on designgear's thread on steps for recovery from a soft brick.
designgear's original thread on soft brick recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966405
-----
This script is all-inclusive. It will temp. root (no need to use SuperOneClick), create a /data/recovery folder, push services.jar, framework.jar, and framework-res.apk to the /data/recovery folder, and then copy them to /system/framework
Instructions:
USB debugging needs to be ON.
Unpackage the .7z archive
Execute "Run Me - Atrix Soft Brick Recovery"
Let the script run, and wait for the phone to reboot.
(Reboot might take a few moments, leave your phone alone and wait it out!)

How do i use it, if my phone is stuck in the "M" screen?
Tried to run while in Early USB enumeration - didn't work.
Any other option from recovery / fast boot / SRD - that may work to un-brick?
Thanks in advance

The best way I can figure is to force the phone out from the moto screen. Put the phone into early usb enumeration. using Adeo0.7z click install as soon as the phone mounts. That got my phone to boot up yesterday. Once you hit the power button, to lock or turn off, reboot. It'll just go back to the moto screen and hang.

It looks like I'm having a problem with the shell root.

Use this temporary solution (which utilizes SuperOneClick), until I can get a chance to fix things.
1. Download SuperOneClick from shortfuse's site: http://www.shortfuse.org/
2. Download my temp script, and unpack
3. Unpackage and run SuperOneClick
4. Boot the Atrix into FastBoot, and enable Early USB enumeration
5. When you see "Reading ODM fuse: 1", plug your phone into the computer and run Shell Root with SuperOneClick
6. Once rooted, run the temp script "Run Me - Atrix Soft Brick No Root"
Your phone will boot into Android, and then reboot. Leave things alone until that reboot happens, and you no longer have the blinking red light.

Sorry 'bout this, I hope to get my original script fixed asap.

I used this script because I wanted my stock notification bar back so I used it. However I followed the instructions from the previous post and it still gave me a boot loop. I figured out that there was something with the services.jar and the framework.jar in the 7z file because I used those files the manual way and it still looped. So i replaced those files with these here http://hotfile.com/dl/108780455/13cd9f6/recoveryfiles.zip.html and it worked!

I just checked both scripts, and MD5 is verified against retail dump:
Blur_Version.4.1.26.MB860.ATT.en.US
If you pushed a different working file, can you send it to me so I can look at? I've ran pushed these framework files multiple times to my phone now.
Thanks,

[SCRIPT][updated5/4]Webtop via HDMI compatible for VERSION 4.1.83(W/Chinese Font Fix)

Firstly,pls notice this script is only for the phone which have got root.
Before below steps,pls make sure your usb mode is not as mass storage.you need choose none or first item when you plug your usb cable in.
Thx for all the XDA guys hard work and especially DG ,Shawnbuck,Fenny and anyone else that contribute a lot for XDA and us.
2011/7/4 Update for restoring script of stock Webtopmod 4.1.83
2011/5/4 updating:
Adding the restore script for restoring to stock version of V4.1.57 webtop files in order to update to 4.1.83.
After succeed updating and got root access,you can run webtopmod V8 again to get the webtop cracked.
pls notice in order to backup the stock webtop version ,you need answer "N" when prompt "Have your cracked ago with old mod files?" for your first run script after updating.
Then your stock webtop file will be backed up in /sdcard/webtopmodbackup(thx for terrypchan's uploading files)
Background:
I found some guys complained lose webtop mod after root for 4.1.57(now 4.1.83).
Actually, what we need is just to replace some files that we use for stock version.
But the original script will not work for 4.1.57.
In order to make some new guys crack webtopmod easily , i update the script to make it useful again.
I also add Chinese font support on webtop.Now you can visit Chinese webside at webtop.The Chinese will displayed correctly.(If some errors happend regarding font fix,it doesn't matter of your crack.Maybe it's because your system is English version)
I don't need your bears for it.Just press "thank" butten or leave a feedback,which is enough for me.
V8 will be stable version for you and could not be updated so far.
Steps:
1. download the file
2. extract and press install.bat as usual
3. run script in rooted Atrix before you do any action regarding deodex or theme changing
3. look at the screen and answer the question accordingly(If it's your first time to run the script in this system version---noticed i mean version not the phone,you need put "N" when prompting "Have your cracked ago with old mod files?" to backup your stock files
4. after reboot,you webtop back again.
[option]5. If you want to deodex or any theme changing,then do it.
[option]6. Run the script V8 again after you do deodex or theme changing,this time you don't need input "N" when prompting "Have your cracked ago with old mod files?"
Remark:
1. webtopmodbackup.zip is the script that return webtopmod files to stock 4.1.26 version for updating to 4.1.57
2. restorewebtopmodv4.157 is the script that return webtopmod files to stock 4.1.57 version for updating to 4.1.83
3.webtopmod1.1updatedV8 can be run under any rooted Atrix to active the webtop mod
4. You'd better to run V8 to get webtop before you do deodex or any theme modification like gingleblue which will replace your webtop files with deodex and V8 cannot backup your stock files automatically
Version Introduction:
1.V8 (instead of V7)is fixed for Bell version.--updated on 4/18--I missed one sentence in scripts of V7.Thanks for Becart's correction.All the users(at&t and bell version) can use this version for webtopmod
1.V6 is compatible with the updated 4.1.57 mod files done by Fenny.You can updated from your old mod files or use it to crack your webtopmod directly.
Updated History below:
4/23 Now adding script of going back stock mod files(4.1.26.Pls notice it's different from 4.1.57 files and cannot use for updating to 1.8.3).Any one can download WebtopModBackup.zip and run uninstall.bat to make the files go back to stock version.You need notice i didn't test it but you can try and if any error,let me know.
(Update V8):
Fix script for Bell version.Thanks Becart's correction.
(Update V6):
Now reinclude the Fenny's file and update a little script.It works with Fenny's updated 4.1.57 Mod files now.Thx for his job and updated.You can find details throughthis link .
(Update V5):
Sorry .Made a mistake,i didn't notice Fenny's file format,it cannot be used for this script directly.V5 went off line. Sorry for the inconvinience.You can find V6 above.It should be workable.
V5 Version is compatible with the updated 4.1.57 mod files done by Fenny. Thx for Fenny's quick updated for 4.1.57 mod files.
Thx for Fenny's mod files again.
Then follow above steps to update.
Pls notice you need answer if you have crack the mod files ago in order to keep you stock files in SDCARD otherwise it will be overwritten when you run the V5 script.
(Update V4):
Now it can be used for any version of atrix including Bell.
(Update V3):
Donot need input command by manually any more.But you need keep phone screen on and allow SU when the script run.
(update V2) :
Filename of webtopmod.sh changed from WebtopMod.sh to webtopmod.sh since many person ignor the capitalization.
pls notice the last command need use filename exact same as webtopmod.sh now.all the letter is lowercase
Backup:
You can find the link for root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013931
The 3 crack files are from Fenny's thread. you can find it through below link.

Ok, I have searched high and low, and found nothing, I want my good old android stock keyboard in gingerbread. I have found a hundred ways of putting the gb one on everything, even a psp, but not the other way around. Can someone build an apk, or a zip to do this? I am having such trouble getting use to the gb keyboard.

I think he means the keyboard that was in 2.1 (or 2.2).
Correct me if I'm wrong OP.

Yes, the one on 2.1 and 2.2. I hate this gb one, space bar is so small!

I'm thinking you could always pull it out of the 2.2 Froyo ROM zip that is around here.
Should be in system/app (I think).
You can use 7zip to pull it directly as a zip instead of unzziping, getting it and rezipping.
Once you got it, just put it on your sd card and install.
I can't promise it will work cause the framework is different on GB ROMs but it's worth a try. The worse you'll get is a "Can't install error".

Oh, I got it. And it even installs. But I don't know where it goes, Or where supposed to go in gb. Cause it didn't show up in the settings section.

I believe you should be able to change it under settings -> local and text.

It's trying to put files in /meta-inf, system/app and system/ lib. it says its installing, but i show no evidence of it.

Que?
what is trying to put files where?
meta-inf is in cwm zip files, it's the flashing instructions for cwm? There is no folder on the phone called that.
I'm confused
Lets start over shall we,
What you have to do is open the zip, either unzip with native windows tools or just open the archive in 7zip. Take out the keyboard apk you want out of /system/app and the corresponding lib file in /system/lib. Put those in the same folders on the phone, either push them with adb or drop them in with root explorer, and reboot.
Still no guarantee it'll quirk on gingerbread though...

The above mentioned directory is the folders in the zip file that when opened it will write to on extraction. On earlier roms, 2.2.x, i flashed it via cw as an update.zip. Apparently this doesn't work with 2.3.x. Do i have a file that is really old?

[MOD] PRL Write Enabler for Sprint Galaxy S4 [MDC][MDL][MJA]

First off this work is based on Digiblur's PRL Write Enabler from the Sprint Galaxy S3 forum. I simply modified it & packaged it for our Sprint Galaxy S4 devices.
Here is the original S3 post that this was found in... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159054
Also, post #8 below provides additional info.
I tested it by flashing with TWRP and it worked on my stock, rooted S4 with the MDC and MDL releases.
If you're on a stock rooted Rom and not using TWRP, you can just copy the HiddenMenu.apk from inside the zip file downloaded into /system/app/ and overwrite the one that's there. (You'll need a root enabled file browser to do this of course).
Thanks to Unknownforce here is a version for MJA...
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291676468
Enjoy!!

This certainly will save me from having to use CDMA WS to switch like I just did yesterday. 55014 was not working well for me in my market so I switched back to 25014.

You mean the install of the zip?
If so, you can pull the APK out of the zip and replace HiddenMenu.apk in the system folder (make a backup first). You may want to also set the permissions to rw-r-r after replacing the system app. Reboot, then you should be good to go.

A good OP leads to less questions.. Development Sections aren't for information. That would be considered a Discussion Thread that belongs in General.
Let's keep the Dev section clean from the start.
My suggestion - Edit the OP on the What's/Why's?/How To's and you won't get posts like mine.

To the OP, updated your title as [WIP], and I suggest you provided additional information so that folks aren't bricking their new devices.
I will check in, if you need anything, let me know.

What this MOD does (in case the OP takes a little while to chime in)
What this MOD does is modifies our ##DATA# (select View) menu to allow for the PRL Write option to appear and function. With this menu option, the user can change their PRL on the fly from the device itself by placing a copy of the desired PRL in the root directory of Internal Storage and name it "test.prl" (no quotes), dial ##DATA# (choose View), tap Write PRL, tap the sub-menu option Write PRL ---wait--- and then the device reboots with the test.prl PRL applied upon reboot. Not every PRL works and sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
A tip for multiple PRL options is to, of course, keep a folder of the PRLs you like and keep them labeled in there. Copy the desired PRL to proper place as needed and just remember to rename the copy to "test.prl". Switch back and forth as you please. I hope this helps clear some confusion and helps some find purpose with the MOD like I have.
For a clear set of instructions that I did not want to just copy verbatim, check the link below. Also, if you are having issues with the zip not installing in CWM, just extract the APK from the ZIP (inside the system/app folder), use Root Explorer or your favorite root-access file explorer to place the APK in the APP folder, apply the proper permissions and reboot.

So I unzipped the file, replaced the hidden menu original apk with the new one, then set permissions, rebooted, then tried ##3282# and the view and edit options do not appear.. .. It just blanks out the items I just entered

Did you clear Cache when you rebooted?
What ROM are you using?

I just tried this mod with the Force ROM and it did the same thing (blank options). The only thing I can think of is that it works with the odex version of the stock ROM so maybe its a problem with deodex ROMs of which Force is one.

O okay. Its currently not a necessary thing for me at the moment, just nice for when I travel to Alabama. Hopefully later on someone gets it working on deodex.

I am actually running it on the Rooted Stock DeOdexed ROM. So I don't think it is an Odex/DeOdex issue...might be a Force ROM issue.
Also, moot point for Force ROM (1.0+) anyway because the PRL Write mod is already included with that.

I'm also having this problem and I'm pretty sure it was working this morning. I haven't flashed anything since then.
edit-- I tried:
1. wiping both cache's
2. killing background process "OIThiddenmenu"
neither fixed it.

I reinstalled the stock odex ROM and flashed this again and it worked.

Just an FYI, OP, I get Error Status 6 when trying to flash this via recovery, which indicates one of two things. Either the format of the file is incorrect or there is a syntax error. The syntax looks fine, but opening in basic Notepad shouldn't "look pretty" like it currently does. So it's likely it was edited with a non-Unix-compatible text editor like Notepad or MS-Word...
To make modifications to an updater-script (or just about any Android/Linux files like this) you need something like Notepad++ or gVim.
Anyways, I did a quick test with this, and it does in fact not work on my ROM as it is, but I see why it's failing, but I don't know what exactly it's trying to reference yet. (It fails with an id number instead of a name, so I'll have to de-compile some things to find it.)
I'm not sure it's a ROM issue or a MOD issue yet. (meaning it might have to be updated for each custom ROM, depending on how they are configured) But I'll track it down and update when I can.

Thanks for all your help here..
I had the error status 6 problem in the beginning and thought I fixed it. You are correct that I used MS WordPad to edit the files.

I think TWRP can read the non Unix type characters, which is why it works on a different recovery.
I'm hoping it's a mod issue and I can just modify the mod to work universally regardless of the rom. But we'll see.
