Can someone help me out with this bootloader image?
I made the files, but when I put it on my X8, they just don't show up (Black screen).
Android still loads though.
Also, when someone manages to get these working, can they tell me what I did wrong?
Regards.
when saving as a .zip, did you select store from the drop down list?
I had the same problem and that fixed it.

Trust me, if it could be easily done, it would be. Pretty sure that's part of the bootloader, don't advise messing with that.
Ok that would make sence. I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292524 so I changed it to a custom logo and that'll work since I can't remove it

Hi
I'm looking at editing the 3 uk Ics ftf file. I'm a complete noob but would love to give it a go!
My aim is to remove all bloatware and ugly boot screen and replace with something a bit nicer... Could anyone point me in the right direction for finding the information?
Do you understand you won't be able to flash it with a locked bootloader?

Even if he has a locked bootloader he can use the new exploit to obtain root without unlocked bootloader. It works! And i have customized my bootanimation and removed bloatware etc.
The only thing you can't do yet is to install custom ROM's.
Here is the tutorial:

Hi
Yeah i have unlocked, rooted & installed CMW on my phone, I just don't know where to start with editing ftf files....
I have the 3 uk ics rom installed & removed all of the bloatware also changed the battery icon. I am just looking for a decent boot logo, but once i have completed the editing on my phone is it possible to create a ftf file or do i need to edit the original file? thx
You can just create a new ftf using flashtool, but I still can't figure out why you need it when you have CWM backups.

Sorry like i said before i'm a bit of a noob!. I will need to read a bit more about CMW backups. I need to understand what format, where they are store can they be backed up on pc.....????
I just thought if i created a ftf file if i ever needed to recover, It's a few clicks of a button & done, Also could share if anyone else wanted bloatware free uk ics!
Thx

Just do a backup in recovery. It'll be in the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard. You can copy it to your PC just in case. When you need to restore, just put it back and restore in recovery. You'll even get all your apps and data back.
I've been trying for the last 3 hours to unlock the bootloader on my Xperia Tablet Z (SGP 311).
The issue I appear to be having is the driver. I get the Windows sound of a unregonised device.
I've followed the Sony guide and also tried with FlashTool, but it tells me I need to install the drivers they provide, which I've done but still unable to to unlock the bootloader.
Can anyone help, as this is driving me mad

OK, I think I've managed to unlock the bootloader, as I finally got the drivers to work.
Now, how to install 'pollux-windy', as when I boot into 'fastboot', I don't see anything on the screen of my tablet? I've put the image on the tablet and extracted the 'boot' image, but I don't know how to access it to run?

Thanks in advance.
Can anyone assist a man in need?
Something has happened, as when I now reboot the device, all I get is 'Free Xperia' and the blue man?
Any ideas?
Great news, I've got it working, finally and such a relief.
However, I've added gapps.zip to the device, but when going into the recovery, I'm unable to see that zip to install it. When I look on the device using file manage, it's there?
Any ideas why I can see it on the device and I know it's there, but I can't install it from the recovery?
Can anyone assist, as I don't even have the 'Play' store...
Thanks in advance.
was the gapps on the internal of your memeory, what recovery are u using? if u r using cm10.1 it has cwm as the recovery nd it should mount every locate accurately. my suggestion nd what i do is inhave a micro-sd in my tablet. if u have a micro-sd i would put the file on the card nd when in recovery go to the external. but it sounds like to me that u need go back in folders to root of the system. and got to data/media nd that should show files that u might have transfered from any 4.1.2 rom

Issue resolved, thanks for the pointer skiwong20.
Basically, it was in a folder called '0' that must've been created at some point and not the root level of the SD card. But all now working and thanks for the pointer!
Thanks.

How are you trying to get into recovery?
What does the LED do while you boot the ZU?
I would just flash jackie099's kernel and restore the backup from there - I cant see how flashtool would be failing except for a problem on the PC

i cant get into recovery, i used to get no problem at all flashing kernels or down/upgrading ftf to it...
but right now i'm stuck with this kernel wich theres no recovery at all, no light no recovery...:crying:
i've tried to reflash kernels many times but failed...
the worse part that i got is that it has no signal at all...:crying:
if i flash it with any new ftf (down/upgrade), the kernel should be replace by the list on ftf package right...
but not mine...
Stucks... (3.4 bla bla)
how could i recover my ZU if i cant flash the kernel...:crying:

Make sure your phone is turned off.
Start Flashtool and click the lightening bolt at the top left and select 'FASTBOOT MODE'.
You should now see a new window of flashtool titled FASTBOOT TOOLBOX.
Plug in your phone while holding the Volume Up button
Back on flashtool: To the far right where it says 'By DOOMLORD', just below that the second option is 'Select Kernel to Flash', click it.
Browse for the .IMG file that you downloaded from the top of this post(which is the boot file for your phone to boot and let you into recovery).
Change the file type that's listed next to File Name at the bottom of the browse window, to .IMG
Select the .img file and it should flash automatically and tell you to check the log list shown right in flashtool before rebooting. If you don't see any errors then go ahead and unplug your device and boot it and try going into recovery.
You should be good to go now.

Hello,
is there a way to modify or get rid of the warning screen that pops up if you boot your unlocked XX?
You know, that one with the yellow triangle and the five seconds delay.
As I understand you can modify it with fastboot, but I only found that threads for some Motorola devices, so is it possible with the Xperia X?
Maybe by relocking the bootloader?

Well, I installed a custom kernel with root. If I relock the bootloader, I would lose root wouldn't I? So I think that's not an option for me ?
Anyone please? :/

Thanks for your answer. In the Motorola forums someone described to remove it by flashing a custom logo.bin file. Isn't there any way to adopt this for the XX?

If there was a logo.bin in the kernel ramdisk it would be possible, but there isn't. The warning is embedded somewhere else in the bootloader partitions and attempting to modify those would most likely cause a hardbrick. I wouldn't recommend going there...

Okay, seems I have to stick with that warning though. Thank you anyway.
Well someone did find that the PNG format image itself is in \ramdisk\res\images\warning
I can confirm that it is not in the kernel. The kernel does contain two folders at this location with some battery images (likely when you charge while phoine is off) but none of them are named warning. I own X Compact myself. Just wanted to mention this if someone with the nessesary skills decides to take up this task.

Because it's unnecessarily annoying and jarring/alarming every single time your phone boots up?
Every single Motorola phone I've owned I've been able to overwrite the warning with a custom image with a simple and safe fastboot command. It ends up looking a lot cooler too than the stock (locked) screen since you can put whatever you want in there as long as it's the entire size.
The Motorola forums have entire threads dedicated to shared bootlogo images, with the only difference being the size/resolution, but otherwise they work cross-device.
Sorry....Had a Motorola Moto g2 once that i could Just sas: Okay flash this and this, BAM!" and it was removed.....but in Sony devices IT SEEMS it ist imbedded into bootloader
