Maybe it was just a little to much flashing stuff !!!! But I lost my yellow Sprint Logo after the Samsung Logo. On both the boot and shut down. Before I apparently corrupted something I did make a backup of all the boot QMP files, and my bootanimation file. After a complete factory reset, still no sprint logo. Tried rwilco12 full restore still no sprint logo. Tried overwriting the boot QMP files with original files I had copied before the logo stopped working still no logo. The only thing I can think of is the logo file is missing somewhere else in the rom. So does anybody have copy of the sprint logo boot up and down files? :crying::fingers-crossed:
Really please tell us how you did it so we can replicate.... Would love to get rid of the sprint logo lol
I don't have it and don't want it sorry just had to joke with you ..

Actually there are three files. system/media 1. SPR_bootsamsung.qmg 2. SPR_bootsamsungloo 3. SPR_shutdown.qmg If you delete these the sprint logo goes away, I would make a backup first. I have deleted the files and replaced them with the backup with no problems. Then I flashed something else and the sprint logo quit. :crying:

I tried to flash a stock boot logo on "That ROM", and the boot logo looked like someone smeared a wet paint canvas. So I made this in case someone else wants to get back to stock.
Nothing special. Just sharing.
Flash with CWM at your own risk.
Just a tiny observation - I see you're mounting /system in your update script, not sure that does anything or is even needed?
I couldn't be bothered to create a new package. I just used a zip I had on my PC and modified it.
Hmm idk why but i been trying to flash this logo using moto-fastboot but it doesnt seem to work just black screen then bootanimation starts
Are you trying to flash this on a CM ROM or Gingerbread?
This is for "That ROM", probably won't work on anything else.
Yeh i tried on CM10
If it's just a boot logo it shouldn't matter what it's flashed on. It's just an image that's loaded when the phone boots.

Why don't you try it and let us know. The previous person to try it confirmed it didn't work on CM10.
I'm flashing CM10 whenever I get a charge. I'll let you know.
EDIT: I gave it a shot and the install failed. Not entirely sure. Doesn't appear my Atrix is gonna finish booting any time soon.

Hello droidstyle,
I also bricked my phone today. I searched the forums and found someone in virtually the same situation where there issue was caused by a locked bootloader. I assure you I did unlock mine before trying to flash the Rom that brought me to the "unauthorized software detected" message but I'm guessing the app I used didn't work.
You advised the other guy to download and flash the "restore" file from step 1b instead of the regular one from 1a. After downloading the file and clicking on PDA in Odin, the "restore" file doesn't even show up on the list of files I can pull into Odin. What am I doing wrong?
you gotta have the pda and pit file flashed at the same time

Use 7zip to extract the file first. Also you definitely still had a locked boot loader. I'm curious what app you're referring to you used to unlock?

Ez unlock is for the s3 only. There is only one way to unlock the note 2 and is found in original development.
Also not to be a jerk, but why in the world would you think it was gonna work? There is literally not 1 reference to ez unlock in any of the note forums.

So i decided to restore to stock as I do this on occasions...once on stock, i actually decided I'd download the verizon OTAs that were available. After doing so, the phone rebooted, installed one OTA, rebooted, selected the newer OTA, rebooted and after that if just keept looping the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" start up screen and its on for a milisecond then reboots and continues.
After that kept happening I decided to use imnuts Back to stock odin method AGAIN as that is what i always use (thanks to imnuts btw) and the file provided ive been using to restore to stock just keeps failing and failing...I'm not sure where to turn, i cant use casual because i cant boot into an OS. help? direction? advise?
anyone have any input thats useful?
so i tried to restore to stock and it for some reason the file kept failing when it began installation through Odin...then it would fail, so i tried a few times and no go, downloaded a new file, it wasnt the file, still no go....SOooo, I decided to try Adams Casual root/unlock yada yada...so i while still in Download moade, i booted up Casual and ask for it to do what it does....first time around, it loaded up TWRP and i thought i was good to go...some how, i accidentally asked Casual to re run its process....after that the phone would only boot to the samsung splash screen and then immediately reboot, can't boot into recovery only Download..
When i try to go back to stock using Odin now, Odin doesnt recognize my phone being connected any more and i just reinstalled the drivers but no go....any help?
am i bricked!?
Id just send the phone back to vzw as long as you have no physical damage tp it you should ve good

well im actually waiting on a box to send it back out cause of cracked screenage BUT after alll of that, if i try to boot into recovery, I get this message saying "software not supported yada yada. Please bring to Verzion for managing yada yada" either way it states non compatible software, meaning its a custom recovery but wont boot into it i think because it has a locked bootloader....so i cant just send it back until i get it back to stock...which is what got me here in the first place

Have you tried the PIT? The alternative should work but you could also try root66.

Been playing with my phone all day and somehow it crashed/rebooted & now I'm getting "Process system isn't responding"ever time it boots back up. Im rooted and have TWRP recovery...made a backup before all this started. Tried restoring my backup, didnt work, nor did using ODIN to flash a stock file. Full wipes and format data doesn't do any good either...Any suggestions?
I had the same issue this morning and after wiping and odin'ing what seems liked 30 times for 4 hours, I ended up taking it back. BB swapped it out with no questions asked.
The only thing I can think that happened was I tried restoring a backup with TWRP. I thought I read on here that restoring was not a good idea right now.
Looks like I am going to have to return this as well...every time it boots I get that error message and then it reboots itself....Did you do anything to flash back stock status??

Oh yes, many, many times! After I got stuck in a boot loop (or bootup system error), I wiped every partition I could find on the phone using stock TWRP and OUDH recoveries. Than I would odin multiple times using the MI3 tar. The odin process would be successful, but I would get stuck in a boot-loop every time. I'm fairly savvy with Samsung phones as I have rooted all 5 that I've owned but I couldn't figure this one out so I just took it back.

After the successful Odin, have you tried booting into stock recovery and wiping data? That can often fix problems booting up after a restore..

I have similar issues. I tried to recover my original TWRP backup and now my phone is in a boot loop. Even taking the original system and restoring it via ODIN won't fix this?

The Sprint store is not going to have the software to restore your phone yet. So they will replace it as they want even be able to tell its rooted...Well unless they go into download mode which i don't see why they would do that right now. .. BUT This is something you can fix yourself. From what i read you only flashed the stock TAR once. Flash it again and see what happens. Pay attention to what you are restoring. The first time i rooted i couldn't make phone calls...I have no idea what cause it. Now i am on Stock but mi3 as i forgot to pull the SD card.. And its not that serious to go to mi5 at this point.
Edit: If stock still dosent work after multiple attempts.... GO ahead and flash stock rooted ROM. In the next week or so everything will be figured. out. There want be any big updates that you miss in the next month. I wouldn't worry about being on stock rooted or stock unrooted. All the same for now.
I've retried several times with the STOCK unrooted tar. No go with that. Just boot loops...
I didn't see where there is a stock rooted ROM. I'll look in the development areas for it. If you have link would you reply with the link?

Need a bit of help. Stuck in a boot loop. I had Freeza's deodex running like a champ. Flashed TeamVenum's rom and it ran good, but I didn't like colors. I wiped data and reflashed freeza's, and the system would only boot to update apps then reboot and start a boot loop at samsung.
I finally did a odin restore to MI3, but it won't boot up either. It updates apps then does a Finalizing boot, the system freezes then starts a boot loop.
Any Suggestions? Tempted to take it back to Sprint.

Odin should have fixed this.
Did you flash in PDA mode and un-check the "auto reboot" ?
Try downloading the restore tar again, maybe you had a bad download.

Ur phone is bricked. Restore doesn't work, once u did that, u turned your phone into a $700 paperweight. So if u get a new phone and root it, do not do a restore of any kind
