I hate to ask this, but couldn't find anything in my searches and I'm almost there.
I basically broke my tab and got another one coming today, but want to prepare this one for sending back. Was on vegan, so followed some threads about reflashing the 3588.zip file. I went into clockwork, wiped, etc...then flashed and it seemed to have worked. I can now boot up in viewsonics default OS. However I had forgotten that I changed the boot up logo to something else using nvflash.
It's still there for whatever reason and I think I know how to change it back..but have no idea where to get the default image. Any guidance or thoughts on this? Thx

I just flashed my boot image the other day, and I thought to pull the original image off the gtab before I flashed my custom one over it.
Ask and ye shall receive!
Hello everyone, seems it wont just let me ask this in leomars thread I'll have to post a new thread here.
I installed some mods from revolution app yesterday and not my sgs2 is stuck on the Galaxy screen. Before the boot animation. I cannot flash leomar base in cwm because the file is no longer on my sd card. I was wanting to know how I can convert the base rom to an odin file and flash it so my phone can boot again.
Thanks in advance. Would not like to wipe it as I have no backups either. If i have to thats ok, not much on it, just have to try and remember what apps I had lol. But I really dont want to wipe.
need 10 posts
another one
and another
one to go....
this rule sucks man....
another one again
You need to wipe. You can't fix it. Follow the steps described in the Sticky 'BOOTLOOP? DON'T MAKE A NEW THREAD.'-topic.
Hi all! I have a slight issue.. So my sisters phone is rooted and on offical kit-kat NAB.
I tried to install @kevinrocksman's hypnotoad boot animation, flashable through twrp. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467543
It didnt work and after the Note 3 screen it stays black till it boots up. I figure it is because the phones only on stock rooted, and that uses a bunch of weird .qmg files. I cant restore the nandroid for several reasons so thats not an option. So I tried the following troubleshooting steps to either get the hypnotoad to work or restore the default sprint sound and animation.
1. I manually pushed the hypnotoad bootanimation.zip into system/media and changed permissions. no go
2. Then in hypnotoad aroma installer I installed it again. Still no go
3. In aroma I tried restore default feature, the sounds back but no yellow sprint animation
4.I deleted the bootanimation.zip in system/media. no go
.5.On the thread @shabbypenguin commented. Posting an enable bootanimation.zip to have the phone look for .zips instead of .qmg. I flashed it. (http://www.mediafire.com/download/xlbsop29q44vlco/Enable-Bootanimation.zip)
6. Then I tried twrping the hypnotoad aroma boot ani again, hoping shabbypenguins enable bootani will make it work. Nada
7. I tried restoring default again through aroma, still boots with sound but no yellow sprint animation.
So if anyone has an idea to either get the hypntoad to work or get back the defualt boot animation, that would be GREATLY appreciated.
I know it was probably dumb to try on stock rooted sorry, but my sister is stuck with no bootanimation, and she does not want to flash a new rom
So thanks

I hope you have a fix mr. shabbypenguin sir! :fingers-crossed:
Do you know of any fixes @kevinrocksman??
I would think there would be a flashable. Zip laying around but i couldn't find any
if you read to the second page, you would have seen that zip doesnt work

Ive read the whole thread, and the comments. I believed it would work because I have been on several stock Samsung based roms, and all of either the flashable.zips or manually pushing to /system/media have worked fine. Im even currently on AOSP and pushing the monster attack bootanimation.zip to system/media worked perfectly. So I believe my error lies in possibly two things. Either..
A.these bootanimaton.zips are not NAB compatible; which would seem odd because as far as I know bootanimation.zips are fairly universal. It worked on AOSP just fine
B. Or since this is stock STOCK rooted, the system files have not been configured by a dev to allow changing bootanimation.zips.
If it is scenario B, which i think is more likely, then a solution would be to flash a custom built Nab rom, right? I would think if I flashed Freezas stockISH rom it would be too stock and the boot ani system files would be the same situation. Which is why im thinking @sac23 s kit-kats v1 nab rom would allow me to change bootanimation.zip. Do you think this would be accurate?
I did some further digging and I believe I may have found a way to be able to push bootanimation.zips and have them work even on stock stock roms.
What do you think of this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50218786
I gather if I push the bootanimation.bin in OP and replace it with the current one in /system/bin it will enable me to change bootanimations just like normal. You probably would have a better idea then me, do you think this is an accurate conclusion?
Thanks :good:

samsung has been using qmg files since before the SGS1, this http://www.mediafire.com/download/xl...tanimation.zip should enable it. it swaps out the bootanimation binary for one looking for .zip's. it may not work if they are still using samsungani

this is what it does in adb when u execute bootanimation
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: cannot locate symbol "_ZN7android21SurfaceComposerClient

as for all the other zips idk, but mine doesnt. as for figureing it out etc, youll have to ask someone who is up to date on samsung software and/or owns a note 3.

I previously converted my M8 to the Google Edition. Now I'm trying to fully convert back to stock AT&T and already have the stock rom and stock recovery installed. While booting up my phone shows the AT&T splash screen. However before that pops up, instead of seeing the HTC Powered By Android screen, my phone shows the standard Google logo screen. Any ideas on how to fix this? Added pics for clarity.
EDIT: I managed to fix it. First time poster here and not sure how to delete this thread.
there isnt a offical RUU to flash yet for stock sense. might have to wait for it. not 100% on that though

That is not how this forum works. Post how you fixed it, so others that have the same or similar issue will read this thread and benefit.
Has anyone modified the boot animation for stock ND7/Android 4.4.2 in order to remove the Verizon logo (so that the boot animation shows only the Samsung splash)? I know that this has been done for the 4.3 boot animation, but I can't find a modified version of the 4.4.2 one anywhere (the Samsung splash is different for each).
I'm ashamed to say how much time I've spent looking for this. I've searched throughout xda and Google and haven't found any luck. I've downloaded a few s5 boot animations as well as 3 roms for the international Note II, hoping to find the right ones, but they haven't been correct unfortunately. I've even tried using a couple qmg to png hacks in order to cut out the Verizon logo myself, but I haven't been able to get them to work right.
So this is my last resort. Has anyone happened to stumble upon this or know of an easier way for me to extract it?
EDIT
Found it.
