Without wasting anytime, I would straight go to the main topic.
P.S - Boot Logo NOT to be confused with Boot Animation.
P.P.S - This is for Samsung Devices only.
What is param.lfs?
Well, it is one of the files found in the stock firmware (tar.md5) file. Looks like it contains various images used by bootloader or kernel. (It may contain other functionalities also, but its what I can tell you because it is what I have understood by exploring it).
Where can I find param.lfs?
In stock firmware, just browse its contents using WinRAR or 7zip etc. It will look like :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What is there inside param.lfs?
There are many jpg files which is used by bootloader. (Once you go through them, you will find relevance). It will look like :
How is param.lfs related to boot logo?
If you explore param.lfs, you will find a file called logo.jpg. Thats it, the BOOT LOGO.
Is Samsung showing its 'class' here again?
Well, in various other phones, the boot logo is present in the root folder of ramdisk, however, in this case, boot logo is compressed inside param in respective partition. Changing boot logo in other devices seems pretty easy, but in this case, the param block must be decompressed, then make necessary changes and then recompress it back.
But the good thing is that, images are present in simple jpg format in our case, but in others, they are in .rle format, which is needed to be converted to jpg for modification. It is obviously possible through certain tools.
About the boot logo changing utility, the main job was done by the OP of this thread. My job was to identify correct partition and make necessary changes in the script.
Installation :
1. Flash it using CWM v6.
2. Now reboot to recovery (option in Advanced Menu).
3. Once you reboot to recovery again, now perform normal reboot.
The zip file has stock image, so if you modify, mod that very image. The image must be of 240x320 resolution and of 72DPI. Also the file name must be logo.jpg
Download : Here
In case you mess up, you should be able to use button combos.
Will this work with SMP -900 Samsung Galaxy Note pro 12.2?

Here are some splash images that can be flashed to the htc evo view. It should work on the flyer but I don't have one to test on.

** Your device must be s-off (nand unlocked) in order to flash/install this image **
Installation instructions:
1. Download nameofsplash.img
2. Reboot your device to bootloader.
3. In a command/terminal prompt enter
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 nameofsplash.img
4. Reboot your device and enjoy your new splash screen.
=================================================
-- Instructions to make your own splash image for flyer/view --
-- For windows --
1. Create an image with the dimensions 1024 height 600 width. Save your image as splash.extension (splash.bmp for example, png works, jpg may but I haven't tested it).
2. Rotate your image 90 degrees counterclockwise (windows image viewer is the easiest/fastest).
3. Download splash.zip and extract to a location of your choice.
4. Open new-splash.txt and edit "splash.png" to reflect your image extension (splash.bmp for example).
5. Save the file as new-splash.bat.
6. Move your image (from step 1) into the directory with the .bat and ffmpeg files.
7. Double click new-splash.bat. You should now have a file in the same directory named splash.img
8. Flash the image via fastboot and enjoy!
** Some Notes **
You will notice two files called pull-480x800.txt and pull-1024x600.txt.
These two files are essentially the same except for the size dimensions.
You will want to save these files as .bat (just like in step 5) after editing the size dimensions and image output extension (bmp instead of png) inside the text file.
After pulling you will have a file named splash.extension in the same directory.
The files use the name splash.extension (splash.img, splash.png, etc.) when pulling/creating
When creating a splash.img, the .bat file will look for an image named splash.extension (where extension is what you specified in step 4)
When pulling an image from splash.img, the .bat file will look for splash.img, rename it to splash-orig.img, and output the image according to the size dimensions and extension specified.
I hope this little writeup was easy to follow. If not please feel free to ask any questions!
Heh.... Cool! Just wish I had a View right now....

I can make the .img files if you provide the image you want. I'm not the best graphic artist but I can make the splash.img with no effort.
I stated evo view because that's the device I have and test on.

I'm not the best graphic artist. If you can find someone who is a photoshop pro to edit the image I can make the splash. Sorry .
Can I ask how you made these? What tool did you use? What size image?
I've been using nbimg.exe to make these for all of my devices, but everything I make for my Flyer looks completely distorted when I flash. I've successfully flashed all of the .imgs you've created, so I know it's not my device.
here's a good tutorial -
Edit: link broke
You can also use any of the splash screens or boot animations from the Nook Color and there are a bundle of them out there if you do a search. The Nook color and HTC flyer /View screen are the same size.
I will try to have a write up by the end of the week of how I make the splashs as well as the files I used for anybody who wants to try their hand at making splash screens for this device or any other device.

Cool.
Also, I have a question. The splash screen is the HTC screen right? Once the quietly brilliant comes on it is just boot animation.zip correct?
So those who use fast boot this won't work.

You are correct. Whenever you shutdown the tablet completely the splash screen is the first image you see when it powers on. For people like me it's nice to change it since I don't use fastboot in the event I need to get into recovery or bootloader.

Once I get a really good splash I will stop using fast boot then.

Can you tell me if this is the method you're using..?
Create image 600 pixels wide and 1024 high.
Save it as a 24 bit bmp file called splash1 (any name works)
Put the bmp in the nbimg tool directory.
Open cmd and cd to that directory then run command:
Code:
nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 600 -h 1024
Take the output file and change the extension to .img
Make sure device is in fastboot and run command:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 C:\nbimg\splash1.img
Thanks in advance.
this guide shows how to change the boot logo, not the boot animation
boot logo is the logo that is shown before the animation
Tools required:
1. LogoBuilder --- http://d-h.st/k96
2. Stock logo.bin --- Get the file from your device (/dev/logo)
3. Required boot logo files, in png format
4. Common sense duh!!!
once you have the required files, extract LogoBuilder
Rename the file from your device (logo) to logo.bin and proceed to the next post
1. Open LogoBuilder.exe

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Click Create New Project
3. Select the logo.bin file you extracted from the device
4. Make a new folder for the project, any name will do
5. Select the folder and click on OK
You will see a progress bar running down. After finishing, you will get a whole bunch of images in the above selected folder
1. Open the folder containing all the images
2. Make a note of the sizes of img1.png and img39.png
The desired boot logo file must be a png file having resolution same as that of img1.png
3. Delete only img1.png and img39.png
4. Rename the desired boot logo file to img1.png and paste it in the folder
5. Make a copy of img1.png and rename it to img39.png
6. Click on Make button
In the selected folder, you'll get a file named update.zip
Flash that file using cwm and enjoy the new boot logo

When making guide, everyone should be careful, at least to post SOURCE of information of software you are suggesting. You mentioned it as "different site", the link to that site was also missing. Wherever credit is due, is due. I hope you will take care next time.
PS: Be kind to main developer @ankadnikov and post your credit on 1st post, not fourth post.
what is the size of logo.bin? in my Alcatel SPOP 4030A is like 300mb o.o
Thanks man
Messed something up
Hello, I know this thread is about a year old, but I hope I can get some help here. I was trying to change the logo on my MTK device and I did not pay attention to the part where you were supposed to flash the finalized file with CWM, I instead just extracted the logo.bin file from the Update.zip and then just pushed it to /dev/ but before doing that I rename the original file to logo.nn Now my device won't go pass the original boot logo. I can get to adb but only to sideload. I've tried the update.zip generated from the LogoBuilder_v1.4 and still cannot boot up. I do not have the image for this device to just flash it and restore everything to factory. I have tried to clear cache and factory defaults thru stock recovery but it still doesn't boot up.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

***Warning***
I'm not responsible for any brick/damage to your phone (e.g. if you want to manually flash modified file and by mistake you flash it on another partition and not in PARAM's)
The original method for this mod goes from here, I have searched and found block and its size where is present bootlogo on GT-I9070, which is different from GT-I8190.
Let's start!
First, download a HEX editor (for this tutorial we'll use HxD)
Make your own logo.jpg using any tool that you want, following these parameters: 480x800 pixels and not bigger than 65.246 bytes
Download attached stock_param and extract it where you want. We will use always this param, others may have the bootlogo in different offsets
Open downloaded original param in HxD and set octal value
Now select Edit>Select block: Start 660000 - End 1057335
Go to File>New (set again octal value as the first screenshot!), then select Edit>Insert bytes and put 177336 as number
Now we have an empty block with the same lenght than original block in param.lfs
Open your created logo.jpg with HxD, right mouse button click and first choose "Select all" then choose "Copy"
Go back to the empty file that we made, return at the start of code (offset 00000000) then right mouse button click and choose "Paste (Overwrite)"
Example of the new start/end after overwrite
Now after overwrite click right mouse button, choose "Select all" then "Copy"
Return to param.lfs, click right mouse button, choose "Paste (Overwrite)" and finally save the file
Example of old logo's block start/end
Example of new logo's block start/end
To flash the new param.lfs look in 2nd post
Flash modified param.lfs
To flash modified param you have some different ways:
Use my Param Flasher (best and safest way, you need only device drivers)
Download empty_param, put modified param inside it and flash with recovery
Manually way (can be dangerous if you're not experienced, so I'll not write how to do)
To restore original param:
Use Param Flasher choosing "Restore stock param.lfs"
Or download stock_param and flash with recovery
If something goes wrong with modified param.lfs, bootlogo can be ruined (you see only pixels, coloured lines...) or after power on vibration you get just a black screen, you can have one of these two scenarios:
ROM doesn't boot but device boots itself in recovery when you press power button: use Param Flasher to restore stock param or flash stock_param with recovery
ROM and recovery don't boot: Use Param Flasher in "Odin Mode" and follow the instructions.

Only if you create an image with the exact byte size than original, in other cases first you need to create an empty block with the same lenght as image block in param.lfs, like specified on guide. Use only jpg and not other formats, you can use GIMP, IrfanView, Photoshop to create them... To get original Samsung logo just select image block like on first part of the guide, copy it and paste on a new file saving as a jpg file, then to try this mod before creating your own image/logo/signature I suggest to invert the image (black/white->white/black) and finally follow the whole guide

sorry, i used this guide, but i wasn't able to to install my custom "splash screen", afther flashing it, my phone only boot on recovery. so. i keep the guide ( odin set on the downloaded folder, don't work , so i installed it from another web site). i keep the guide, but phone continue to start in recovery.....(i tried to reinstall the original param.lfs, either with odin, either with flash zip,as written in the guide)
, but nothing....
so i reflash the cyanogen mode 11 that i had in my sdcard, , (i had done a buck up with titanium before), but is a hassle to reinstalll all app and data.... but , here is the miracle, i just flash the cyanogen 11 that i have flashed several time(i risked several time in the past to brick my phone). and my phone was as before all, i have all my app, all my setting, all my data, even if i don't have restore my buck up with titanium!
ommitting the flash of custom splash screen, (may be you could help me, to found what i wrong), could someone explain me how this could possible?!(it is a miracle, because when i reinstall cyanogen, time ago, i had to use titanium to restore my buck up)

so i reflash the cyanogen mode 11 that i had in my sdcard, , (i had done a buck up with titanium before), but is a hassle to reinstalll all app and data.... but , here is the miracle, i just flash the cyanogen 11 that i have flashed several time(i risked several time in the past to brick my phone). and my phone was as before all, i have all my app, all my setting, all my data, even if i don't have restore my buck up with titanium!
ommitting the flash of custom splash screen, (may be you could help me, to found what i wrong), could someone explain me how this could possible?!(it is a miracle, because when i reinstall cyanogen, time ago, i had to use titanium to restore my buck up)

Because you didn't formatted /data partition, so you have all your apps, settings, data... The procedure for custom splash image is this only and works 100/100 times if you do all correctly. You have to check your custom image size (shold be as the guide) before modifying param.lfs

@enricomarc
Instead of reflashing stock with Odin everytime, extract param.lfs.md5 from 'Param Flasher' in 2nd post of this thread and flash with Odin as PDA... Read again the guide, for sure you made something wrong have you created empty block with the same size of the splashscreen's block in param.lfs? Here you paste your custom image's code by overwriting option, then select all and copy, paste into param.lfs overwriting original logo's block.
Always use the param that I have attached, other params may have splashscreen in different offsets.
Important thing: check always that you are using octal value

I'm sure i used octal value ; i tried to use Odin And reflash param.lfs original file, but Phone continue to start only on Recovery, so i have to reflash rom. I'm using cyanogenmod 11, based on Android 4.4.2 i'm sure i' m Not wrong, but i will try again

Hmm this is strange, because when I had S Advance and I created this guide, stock_param.zip for recovery and Param Flasher (Odin mode too) I made them perfectly working... I'm still using them for my friends
P.s. I pushed Thanks by mistake. :silly:

Looking for Official firmware for my AllCall S1 X
Tried to flash original firmware but for non X version, which has different display (version from date 20180817)
After flashing my phone boots up but i have black screen - because i have newer X version with different LCD...
Anybody from AllCall or some AllCall S1 X user can post official rom ?
(When you go to settings-about phone you should see ALLCALL_S1_X - firmware version should be from date 20180912)
Thank you very much !

Have you found the firmware, I need it too.
No I Wrote to AllCall support / forum several times but they weren't online for more than 45 days...
Finally ! - Also I made a how to video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OehWqUvGb78
Warning warning warning!!!
WARNING! To anyone using this video, the creator of the video was a bit reckless and FAILED to inform you about a number of CRITICAL items, and you may end up messing up your phone if you do not do the following:
First of all, you cannot even do a Write Memory flash unless you first have the SCATTER text file (MT6580_Android_scatter.txt) and the PRE-LOADER file (preloader_a600w_v1_a_hxgj_ac18_allcall_o.bin) for the S1 X phone.
Where do you get them? Well these are EXACTLY the same as for the S1 phone. So you must first download the firmware for the S1 phone (search online and you will find it, usually in zip file format). Extract the S1 firmware from the zip and save ONLY the scatter file and the preloader file. Delete everything else. Then download the EMMC-USER file from this load from video. Note that it is a compressed file in 7-Zip format. So you SHOULD use 7 Zip software to unzip it (search online and you will find it).
But BEFORE you flash this EMMC file, you MUST first READBACK and SAVE certain partitions from the phone using the SP Flash Tool. Use the Readback tab. You will need to open the scatter file in a text editor to find the location of the TEE1, TEE2 and NVDATA partitions (the linear start address and partition size are the numbers you want to note for each of these partitions). Read these partitions back using the SP Flash Tool and save them in the same folder where you saved the scatter file and the preloader. If you do not save these partitions, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR EMEI NUMBERS AND YOU WILL GET AN ANNOYING AND PERMANENT MESSAGE IN RED (unwritten tee key unwritten google key) ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR PHONE SCREENS AFTER YOU FLASH THE EMMC-USER FILE.
After you have readback and saved the Tee1, Tee2 and Nvdata partitions, you can proceed to flash the EMMC-USER file via the Write Memory tab as described in the video (but you will first need to check the preloader box in the Download tab otherwise Sp Flash Tool won't let you flash the EMMC-USER file).
Once you have flashed the EMMC-USER file, you should then flash the Tee1, then the Tee2, then the Nvdata files that you saved from your phone.
Now you can restart your phone and everything should be fine.
IF YOU DID NOT BACKUP YOUR TEE KEYS AND NVDATA, YOU CAN FIX THIS ANNOYING PROBLEM USING THE SN WRITE TOOL (https://androidmtk.com/use-sn-write-tool).
They have already updated their website - they added S1 X rom (with scatter and other things included) http://bbs.allcall.hk/thread-10845-1.html
You can remove that red text when you root your phone (which is now possible when they uploaded rom for S1 X)
When you have root you can hide the red text too i think...
How to root MTK device https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sATW0cPT_uQ
(make your custom boot.img file and flash it with WHOLE ROM - don't flash just boot.img as shown in video - so use original scatter file and flash everything except original boot.img - use your patched file and rename it as boot.img. then install magisk.apk on your device, now your device should be rooted)
How to hide text - use SP flash tool they have on their web site - enable generate BT and WIFI from IMEI - and write your imei which is on the phones battery case...
Tee1 and Tee2 lost
I have come upon this issue with an Oukitel K10 as well now. Having followed the EXACT procedure provided by the manufacturer themselves, I now have the "tee key" message on screen.
No amount of fiddling about with the SN WRITE tool appears to have fixed this either.

Hi. Got my A40 rooted and wasen't happy about the look of the boot logo & warning text, so I did some changes to it.
WARNING:
THIS WILL TRIP KNOX SO DON'T FLASH UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
THIS IS MEANT FOR USERS THAT UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER AND GOT KNOX WARRANTY BIT BLOWN ALREADY
UPDATE, TWRP METHOD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now with warning (booting_warning.jpg) completly removed so that we can use full screen custom logos.
1/ Flash "View attachment A405-red_warn_remover.zip".
2/ Reboot to recovery.
3/ Flash "View attachment A405_logo_leafes.zip"

Wanna make your own logo mod?
Make sure that the images you're doing has the same characteristics as the original files.
Raplace the images in "A405_logo_leafes.zip" and rename the zip to whatever fits.
Edit the "ui_print" in the update-binary if you wish, but please keep the credit to @moluntic for this awesome script.
(Original thread):[Tutorial][Boot Logo Changer]
read the info there as you can easily brick your phone if it's done wrong.
Remember that param partition acts as an image cache for bootloader and is indeed part of the bootloader partitions.
With that said, please don't share files unless you've tested it yourself first.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OLDER METHOD:
Original ---> Changed to:
Original---> Changed to:
This blacked out so that it won't show on the black logo background.
Unzip View attachment SM-A405FN-param_mod.tar.zip and put the tar.md5 in AP slot in Odin. Connect phone in download mode and start flash.

Hi
To flash this do we need to reset/wipe after? I spent already too much time customizing this device, don't wanna do everything all over again
The warning that warns about booloader and asks to press power couldn't also be blackened or even replaced it with something nicer ((maybe text in black "Custom firmware initializing" ))? If I don't press power device continues boot anyway after a few seconds.
Can you give any tips, or any special care when creating/modified bootlogo? Or, if you have time to make more versions it will be appreciated
Many thanks.
Please do for TWRP
Got no feedback, so I decided to create my own bootlogo and sucessfully flashed it using Odin.
Even put the Magisk logo on it :laugh:
A quick how-to using Windows:
You know the drill, if you manage to damage your device when doing this, it's your own fault!
1. Download the firmware for your device from your preferred server (samfrew updato , select region, version), alternatively jump to the end for faster approach, but you may need knowledge described in next steps anyway
2. Have installed 7zs
3. Right-click the firmware file > 7Zip ZS > Open Archive > then double-click (dc) file that starts "BL.." > again dc param.bin.lz4 > again dc param.bin > extract all files
4. Files to customize are:
booting_warning.jpg
logo.jpg
svb_orange.jpg
Use favorite image editor (Paint works!)
Make sure you keep the default resolution and do not create much bigger files than the originals, a little bit smaller or bigger it's okay, but not too much.
5. Again using 7zs create a tar archive format with the files you edited and the rest you have extracted before, name the archive param.bin (literal, NOT param.bin.tar)
(7Zip ZS > Add to Archive > Archive Format: tar > Archive (name): param.bin)
6. And then again, create another tar file with the param.bin in it (archive name may be anything)
7. Using Odin, load the tar file you created on the previous step to the AP slot, connect the phone in download mode and flash
Alternatively, to save data and time download bootlogo mod from first post, just extract files, edit and repack again using similar manner as described above
(in the end you should have a file with tar extension instead of MD5 because archive does not have MD5 checksum attached, so Odin will not check data integrity)

I've been working some more on this "project" and twrp flashable is working. I will upload tomorrow hopefully.
I managed to remove the black warning as well so that we can have full screen custom logos, like this:
There will be two zip's to flash the first time.
One with stock param, but witout the "red warning" and one zip to finally change the logo / svb_orange by unpacking param in device and replace the images inside.
This will be easier, as we from there on only have to replace two images in a zip to get new flashable logo.
Have already done

Couldn't we had 'fullscreen custom logos' before?
Why did you choose to leave the message of the "svb_orange"? We all know bootloader is unlocked, message is useless and undesirable since boot continues anyway after a few secs (no need to press power).
Anyway, that's what I've done on mine, replaced it with a nice screen, acting as second (boot)logo.

That message doesn't really bother me so I just kept it.
We could have used full screen, but it would have looked like this cause the image is still there, just blacked out.

Yes, of course, I forgot that it just gets overlayed on top of logo image, because my logo is mainly black and booting_warning is black too, it's there but invisible.

Thank you Bro !!
It works like a charm.
Very happy with this mod
Fred.
i know how to make it work with Odin but i was wondering if with the stock recovery it's possible to sign an update.zip containing this mod....
i tried an old zip signer with no luck ( probably it was with an old Android version).

Hello. I installed this patch last july (release without leaves):
- is that version (no-leaves) still available / usable with ASJ firmware ?
- in general, how could I revert mod to the original ? Flashing full stock firmware doesn't affect bootloader area, it seems
I don't have TWRP so I'm talking about Odin releases
Thanks a lot for your work
