[boot.img] obsolete please lock

Hi all. Quick notice:
Usual disclaimers apply.
This is an Unsecure boot.img I made for Android 4.2 on the Nexus 4.
Okay cool... but what is an insecure boot.img?
An insecure boot.img allows the device to be booted with permissions to be mounted as root. This is a way of being able to push SuperSU/Superuser.apk to /system/app and the Su Binaries to /bin
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
exit​
See more here: External Link
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
To use this you must be unlocked, not familar with unlocking a Nexus device? Easy. In fastboot mode type "fastboot oem unlock" this wipes all data on the device (virtual sd included).
A nice article regarding this thread was published here: http://www.addictivetips.com/android/root-google-nexus-4-install-clockworkmod-recovery/
To boot this boot.img:
must be in the platform-tools folder in the android-sdk
must be in fastboot mode (power+vol-)
First use: fastboot boot "boot.img" (no ")
Why boot? I have not tested this image as I don't have a Nexus 4 as of yet.**
**Some users report flashing the image makes the phone in need of a fastboot stock flashing session, stick to booting for now.​
Thank you for helping!

This is mainly for development purposes to obtain root on this device, it will be an easier process when a recovery is published and you can flash a su.zip. (see attached)

Note, this is in Nexus 7 folder as Nexus 4 does not have its own atm.​

sgs2ext4 doesn't work on the recovery.img and the image isn't mountable by itself in Windows.
Too lazy to reboot into Linux, for now.. any other way to crack it open?

I've got the recovery.img, can I get the .fstab out without loop mounting? I don't have a linux machine set up right now.

I could probably do it without this, but it probably wouldn't mount data/media (what emulates the SD) so it would be relatively useless as that's where zips are
Also this might prove useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494036 (requires Cygwin or Linux environment)

Hell, I wouldn't trust myself to rip it out with a hex editor. I'm setting up a VM right now, but I could just upload the recovery.img for you. I pulled it out of the stock image that google uploaded today.

That's not quite how it works. These .img files we are talking about are pictures of the stock version of those paritions. Try reading this article for an explanation of Android partitioning.
There is also a great graphic here. The site is in Spanish, I haven't used Google to translate it, but the picture there is in English. Take your time with it, there's a lot of info there.

To get into Fastboot mode, do you just hold the volume down button while powering on? Never used a Nexus device before. Have been strictly on HTC up until now. I'm picking up my Nexus 4 in the morning and don't mind trying, as long as there's a way to undo anything in case something goes wrong.

Or you can enable adb and
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
The command
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
is temporary. All it does is boot, one time only, the image you specify. Once you've mounted system as rw however, everything you do in /system before rebooting is permanent.

So does adding the su binaries and the superuser apk give you permanent root after this then?
And exactly what binaries are needed to gain root? I've never gained root using that method before so am a little unfamiliar in this territory.

Woops, wrong thread.
Yes, if you push the su binary from a superuser flashable zip to /system/bin/ and chmod 0655, plus the superuser apk, you will have permanent root after.
Also, there is a recovery.img now, so you can test that out, if it works, flash it from fastboot, then flash a superuser zip from that recovery.

Thank you for getting it (recovery.fstab), looks like someone beat me to it though!
Sorry for late response I have to sleep as I'm in last school year
Ill cook up a recovery just to make your efforts worthwhile
It's in OP, its probably 99.9% the same as the other guys so i'm not going to make duplicate thread, use who evers recovery you wish.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reason I say fastboot boot first is because it allows you to boot the image without permanently (well, unless you flash another over) flashing a partition without knowing it works.

Booted fine when I ran fastboot boot boot.img, but when I actually flashed it, it's giving me a boot loop now Booting back into fastboot shows secure boot still enabled. Any suggestions? Or do you have the original bootloader image?

[Bootlogo] PlayStation (ps1) logo (Bootloader unlock warning replacement)

I'vee seen other PlayStation boot logos for other devices, but they are made with unclear, low quality, resized images, this is my version, hi-res (1920x1080, black backround, sharp edges... well, the best i could).
Tested on my Moto X Play (TWRP, CM13)
Flashable zip via recovery

Error 6?

weird...
Well, you can still flash it via bootloader
Unzip the file, reboot your phone to bootloader, open a terminal (or equivalent) and use this command in the directory where you extracted the files
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

suppose i want to make a backup of the "ugly" stock unlocked warning screen, what would be the command for that?

I don't know... maybe the original stock rom has it.

[GUIDE] How to Change Boot Logo (Splash Screen) of LeEco Le 2 / Le S3

Note:
This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the 'LeEco' boot logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)
This is for LeEco Le 2 / S3 Snapdragon variants Only, like X522/S3 (USA), X520 (Chinese), X526 (Indian), and X527 (International)..
For Mediatek variants, check Post #2..
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too..
Requirements:
1. Rooted LeEco Le 2 / S3 (any ROM)
2. Optional: Terminal Emulator app or Custom Recovery or atleast working fastboot in computer
3. You're proceeding at your own risk.
STEPS to create splash.img:
1. Download & Extract this in computer: LeEco_Le2_Splash_Maker.zip
2. Make sure you have 4 pictures (same or different) in 1080x1920 px resolution in PNG format.
(It seems Le2 displays any 1 picture from the 4 pictures randomly while switching ON, so I think you'll have to use 4 pictures)
3. Now rename your 4 pictures as logo1.png, logo2.png, logo3.png, logo4.png & replace it inside "pics" folder of the extracted folder.
(Similarly you can replace other pictures in it carefully if you wish)
4. Finally, run the 'CREATE_LOGO.bat' to create splash.img and flashable zip file, which you can find inside the "output" folder after completion.
STEPS to flash splash.img:
Optional: To backup your original splash.img:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash of=/sdcard/splash.img
(Not necessary though.. You may get it from the stock firmware itself.)
Now, Choose any one easy method:
a. To flash from recovery:
Transfer the flashable_splash.zip to your device and flash from TWRP or CWM or Philz or any other custom recovery.
b. To flash from Terminal Emulator:
Transfer the splash.img to your device's Internal Storage, Open Terminal Emulator & enter the following to flash it:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/splash.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash
c. To flash from Fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
Note:
Incase something goes wrong or device doesn't bootup, flash the stock splash.img from custom recovery or fastboot.
If some pictures are jumbled or do not appear, check this trick here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71454608&postcount=18
(Or send me your stock splash.img)
Thanks to @Achyuth Reddy who provided the stock splash.img of Le 2 X526 ..
Hit the Thanks :good: button if it worked for you
You're welcome to share the splash images that you created

For Le 2 Mediatek Variants
For MTK devices, you might have a different partition for that called 'logo'.
Browse in /dev directory to find out where that is present.
After you have found out, dump the logo.bin file by:
Code:
dd if=/<the_directory_where_logo_is_present>/logo of=/sdcard/logo.bin
Now you can edit the logo.bin using this tool:
Changing Boot Logo (logo.bin) - LOGO BUILDER Program
After editing, you can reflash it by:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/logo.bin of=/<the_directory_where_logo_is_present>/logo
If you did this successfully, please share the details of how you did it so that it will be helpful for others..
Or if that tool doesn't work, send me your logo.bin or splash.img, I'll check it..

Thanks.. Gone try it.. :laugh:

worked fine for me, but couldn't flash it in bootloader mode (had to flash the zip file in twrp). Thanks!

it didn't work properly for me.... the images were not centered and also it got jumbled.... any fix?

Is there any known limitation in image size (not resolution)?
Samples are about 200kb at maximum, what about 500 kb?
update: ok it works with files up to 500kb.
update2: just for demo, btw it's a x527...

You can try it yourself :good: the original splash.img is inside the stock rocm archive.

Only the cpu (snapdragon) is important.

For all those having issues with the incorrect images appearing.

[GUIDE] How to Change Boot Logo (Splash Screen) for Zenfone 4 Max

Note:
This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the 'Asus' boot logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)
This is for Asus Zenfone 4 Max Only (Snapdragon Variants)..
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.
Requirements:
1. Rooted Zenfone 4 Max (any ROM)
2. Optional: Terminal Emulator app or Custom Recovery or atleast working fastboot in computer
3. You're proceeding at your own risk.
STEPS to create splash.img:
0. Make sure fastboot is setup in your computer just in-case something gets ducked up
1. Download & Extract this: Asus_Zenfone_4_Max_Splash_Maker.zip
2. Make sure you have a picture with resolution 720x1280 or lower.
3. Now replace your picture on logo1.png and logo2.png inside "pics" folder of the extracted folder.
Note: You can put any picture format, but the names have to be 'logo1', 'logo2', etc.
4. Finally, run the 'CREATE_LOGO.bat' to create splash.img , which you can find inside the "output" folder after completion.
Note:
You might get an error like "PICTURE IS LARGE IN SIZE" if it's not possible to create a logo with that picture.
In that case, try any one of these below:
a. Try compressPNG.com to reduce no. of colors in PNG picture.
Upload your picture, click Settings, reduce number of colors to 2, Apply & download it & try again.
b. Reduce the picture resolution.
For example, this picture:View attachment 4073256 can edited to something like this: View attachment 4073257
(Hope you understand what I say)
c. Try some other picture.
STEPS to flash splash.img:
Optional: To backup your original splash.img:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash of=/sdcard/splash.img
(Not necessary though.. You may get it from the stock firmware itself.)
Now, Choose any one easy method to install:
a. To flash from recovery:
Transfer the flashable_splash.zip to your device and flash from TWRP or CWM or Philz or any other custom recovery.
b. To flash from Terminal Emulator:
Transfer the splash.img to your device's Internal Storage, Open Terminal Emulator & enter the following to flash it:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/splash.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash
c. To flash from Fastboot mode:
Code:

fastboot flash splash splash.img
Note:
Incase something goes wrong or device doesn't bootup, flash the stock splash.img from custom recovery or fastboot.

[TOOL+GUIDE] Custom boot logo & fastboot splash images

I've been looking for a way to change my A2's splash screen for a while. Tried using tools available for other Mi devices such as GokulNC's Redmi Note 5 toolkit (https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...guide-how-to-change-boot-logo-splash-t3787820) and they worked for replacing the splash screen, but the fastboot image (Xiaomi bunny) was broken in the process, leaving fastboot mode only with a black screen. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and voilà, managed to change both splash images. In this guide I'll explain how.
Edit: since posting this I've made a simple cmd script for automatically generating the splash.img. For the old tutorial check out this post's edit history.
Prerequisites:
Mi A2 with unlocked bootloader
Windows machine with working fastboot executable
Tutorial:
Download a2 splash generator.zip from this post and extract it to its own folder
Replace the .bmp files with the desired images
1.bmp is the default splash logo that shows up when you boot your device
2.bmp is the image for fastboot mode
3.bmp can be left alone as its probably unused (the unlocked warning is now baked into the bootloader itself)
4.bmp is the splash logo with unlocked padlock. You probably should make it a duplicate of 1.bmp
Run generate_splash.cmd. It will make newsplash.img in the same folder
Put your phone in fastboot mode and run the command
Code:
fastboot flash splash newsplash.img
You may now reboot the phone and check the your all new splash and fastboot screens!
If it doesn't work, make sure the resolution of your BMPs is 1080x2160 and save them in Paint as 24 bit bitmap files. Then run generate_splash.cmd and flash the image again.

with this guide you can remove the message that the bootloader is unlocked?

Na u can not. Unlocked bootloader message is shown from boot loader itself.

To anyone is using a UNIX or UNIX like OS, to generate the image just run
Code:
cat header.img 1.bmp empty.img 2.bmp 3.bmp 4.bmp empty.img > splash.img

Awesome! I was just looking for that. After swaping roms from MIUI to AO I lost my fastboot logo and it was only showing a black screen, Thanks!

In case someone wants to grab the original image files:
Code:
dd skip=16384 count=6998454 ibs=1 if=splash.img of=1.bmp
dd skip=7014840 count=6220854 ibs=1 if=splash.img of=2.bmp
dd skip=13235694 count=6998454 ibs=1 if=splash.img of=3.bmp
dd skip=20234148 count=6998454 ibs=1 if=splash.img of=4.bmp
The generated image matches with 10.0.2.0 stock's splash.img (MD5: EE57036E7626DA5DEFC276F428D7FBE9).
Files are attached.
EDIT: The unlocked bootloader warning is not stored in splash.img (run fastboot erase splash and see yourself), modifying this will not change that

I was waiting for this to create my own bootanimation. I want to share that with you guys if possible.
should i post a reply here or create an other thread(m not familiar with rules). Before this all i have done is explore xda
The bootanimation is of goku (complete UI) though!

Delete 3.bmp and 4.bmp, run the tool, and it works. Even the stock splash, the one I backup from my device, break xiaomi bunny.
EDIT: lmao i know why mine wont work, because i do the steps incorrectly. you don't have to delete 3 and 4 bmp. but if this post helps you anyway then okay

Do you know since when it changed this way? Is it possible to use an older bootloader to avoid the unlocked warning?

Yeah, it will be really amazing if someone can make a mod to "hide" the unlocked bootlader thing.

Hey op do you know how to do it for wayne?

Sooo after few hours playing with hex editor (and actually figuring how to read those hex), I figured out how to do it for 6x! Turns out the composition of the 6x splash is header+logo+fastboot+corrupt+logo-unlocked, rather different than a2 which has 2 bytes of empty file in between logos. Oh, AND for 6x it uses 1080x1920 24bit bmp instead of 1080x2160, idk why
I edited the generator script from op, you can download it below, and how to do it is exactly the same except it has to be 1080x1920 24bit bmp
If OP would take the file to the first page so it's easier to find, it'd be delightful

I tried in mi6x(converted mia2) but even if I change 4 files with different images only 1.bmp shows in booting and fastboot is black

Fastboot is broken. Stays black. Rest works.

Huh, weird, you guys on relocked bootloader? I'm sure when it boots it shows 4.bmp, not 1.bmp. Or is your device native 6x (not a2 converted)? It works on my converted a2, but I'll look to it. Maybe it does need empty file.
