[Q] change SONY logo splash screen - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

is there a way to change the SONY logo (not the boot animation, the first image on boot) using windows? ( i dont have time for linux)
i found a tutorial (which is so damn hard) using windows which is unusable ( i cant compile anything on it )
help guys, i know im not the only one around here who wants personalized devices...
btw, thanks in advance

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? Cause you have to edit the kernel

I've found a few using the power of Google. change boot img screen, so as with most things you're trying to learn it's going to take reading, practice and more reading if you screw up.

There is a method that is one click that does not involve any ADB via computer, just an APK that you install on your phone, its in the Vibrant Bible which is sticky in the Vibrant android development section(also a link in my signature). Make sure to check that out before you ask questions.
P.S. This belongs in Q&A...

Download the android sdk, open a terminal cd androidsdk/tools
make sure usb debugging is on
then issue the command: adb reboot recovery
that should get you into recovery, but honestly i would exchange your vibrant for one of the ones that are not hw locked, cause if you mess up you could be f*****, i think they will exchange it if you tell them you can access recovery or download mode via key combinations.
Thanx for the reply n ya I have that but my problem is that I can't use the button for finish that process like the volume n the power off button

New kernel question

Can someone tell me how to run the custom kernel made by z? Like exact instructions links needed clearly? I readed a few threads but didnt understand anything o.o
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
in that case its probably safer for you to just leave it alone. The kernel still needs work anyways and I myself am pretty firmilar with the flashing process and still managed to cause my phone to get stuck at the sony ericsson boot screen after flashing

Zzz like what the guy above me said, if your not 100% familiar with the flashing process then don't. Sigh might as well.
1 root your phone
2 install busybox and xrecovery
3 download the custom kernel
4 boot into xrecovery
5 install custom zip
6 select your kernel zip
7 wait a while, when done reboot
8 wait 10 min and done.

You've probably had a solution to your problem, but just for anyone else with this problem, check out a pc app, windows to be specific, called "apk installer" .I'm pretty sure it will help.
Goolauncher is a better alternative besides CWM. It is a browser for custom roms and a installer all in one!
I use it and when it is in recovery (Teamwin) you can leave your phone on the charger!
It is very solid and stable.
I use it every time when I update my Cyanogenmod!
I hope this helps!

Mine boots up but the display hangs up after loading the default wallpaper, I can unlock the screen, change brightness turn on USB debugging having memorized the control locations on the screen BUT all behind the wallpaper. It's d5, any luck?

Well, just dwonload a rom on your pc (can be stock firmware too) then plug your phone into your pc, and navigate the file into the root of your phone. Reboot your phone into recovery mode (VOLUME U P+POWER+HOME) and select the file to boot, BAM yout device should work properly again now
If this helped you, please hit thanks

You can hear the lock sound, see the screen brightness changing But you won't see the UI. All you can see is he wallpaper. So obviously am blindly interacting with the controls having memorized their locations.

There is a video of what I'm talking about. And the screen shot is my system I info. Its an allwinner with an a10 CPU chip
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S in Equestria
I even bought a HDMI cable for this before it broke, i REALLY need to know its its dead or not..
Tried livesuit but that doesnt work for some reason (doesnt give me the option pop up of flashing) and downloaded many a10 roms .img files similar to mine but i cant flash it. i really dont know what to do next. connects to PC but my PC needs drivers to install in correctly.

Edited build.prop now my samsung galaxy player 5.0 won't boot.

I wanna start off by saying i am such an idiot .I should have never edited the system files,Now the device that i enjoyed it unusable.:crying:
I can boot into recovery and others but i cant boot into my OS.I was so foolish.
I tried doing factory default and that didn't work now im desperate.All i want is to just use my device again.If any one has any advice please tell me how i can fix my device.
Can anyone make some suggestions on how to fix my device?
Thanks.
