I flashed a logo.bin file to overwrite the "bootloader unlocked" warning on my device (Moto E 2015 LTE), and while that worked and everything is OK, when I go into the bootloader now the arrow graphics that align with the volume keys are gone, and the section title (aligned with the power button) is no longer formatted or right-aligned. This happened the instant the new logo.bin was flashed. I'm wondering why this is, and if a different logo.bin would change it back?
Thanks

This will take you through the steps to replace your boring boot logo (motorola M with dual core underneath) with something awesome
Our friends on the photon also have a boot logo forum, so you can go over there and see if they have any boot logos that fit your taste
I used information from two sources for this tutorial
NFHimself's post in this thread, which mostly went over my head lol
and this page
What you'll need (at least what I had)
Image Editor (I used photoshop, I'm not sure if gimp or any other image editor has the same options)
Binary Editor (I used FHRED -- it's free)
Fastboot
The included logo-header
Creating Your Logo
First: Open up your image editor, and make your boot image the dimensions must be 540x960. Important: you must flip the image vertically.
Second: Save your boot logo as a .BMP file, but it must be saved in 565 format. To do this in photoshop, save as the BMP file, then when the extra options come up push the advanced modes button, and select the R5 G6 B5 option.
Thank you Ka4yan for this helpful tip

For anyone using Paint.NET as their photo editor, here is a plugin which allows you to save in RGB565 format:

In this forum is also a really good explanation of RGB565.

Third: Open up the .BMP file with your binary editor and delete the first 70 Bits (pairs of numbers), and the last 2 bits (with FHRED, just highlight and hit delete
Fourth: Copy the header from the attached bin file and paste it at the top of your bin. Your file should be 1036820 bits. Save as logo.bin.
Applying a Logo
Fifth Unzip fastboot and move your logo.bin to the same directory.
Sixth: put your phone in fastboot by booting the phone holding the volume down, and then once you see fastboot on the screen, press voume up. connect your phone and open command prompt and use the cd command to navigate to where your fastboot and logo.bin is and enter:
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot reboot
OR
Make a CWM Recovery zip and flash it
Devbro has posted his own website for making you a boot logo CWM zip
please make sure you hit thanks on his post if you use his website!
You should see your new boot logo, yay
Feel free to post your newly made logos in this forum so you might be able to save other people the trouble of making one!
Attached is the logo header bin, the stock logo.bin, and my sample logo.bin

Something I've always wanted to see on boot is an Nvidia Tegra 2 logo like the one on the page below.
http://androidandme.com/2010/05/news/nvidia-tegra-2-android-handsets-coming-2h-2010/
With or without any Moto reference?

As long as it has the Nvidia logo I'd be happy. But I would think with two logos it might look a little cramped. Maybe some writing under it that says "Motorola" or "Motorola Atrix" or something like that?

How's this?
EDIT: If you have any issues with flashing, let me know. I found one logo where the header did not get set properly.
Flashing a bad logo will not hurt your phone, it will simply give you a text based startup screen that will still boot the phone normally.
You can simply hold the vol down during boot to enter fastboot and reflash a good logo.bin file.
Would this remove the unlocked at the top of the screen for gingerbread or anything higher then 1.83?

No it will not.
It cannot cover it up either.
System generated messages display on top of any logo image.

After it boot into rom normally. ( now, my rom : 673.94.328.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03)
boot magager installed according to rom, shop-assistant told me " if i uninstall boot manager, my phone can not boot anymore, so, when i need flash a new rom, i must take it into his store, i shouldn't flash myself"
So, My question:
Can I uninstall boot manager , how must i do this? ( keeping my phone booting normally)
I want to flash Miui Rom or new Rom , how must i do this?
Bootloader is now 0A.74 , can I downgrade it?
I am so sorry because of my english!!!
There's nothing I now to fix your Rua azr.
It's cid partition was erased and cannot be recovered. Also you need a factory cable to flash a stock rom.
You can get it to work, but that "user id error" is not recoverable.

ID error can't be fixed. It's a permanent damage.
You can flash any rom to your CID erased Razr.

Well, first of all, sorry for the bad english.
When i go into the recovery menu (power on with vol up + down buttons pressed), i have more options than what i've saw in many posts.
First of all, i have a different message on fastboot.
It says "AP FastBoot SE" (instead of S only).
also, my phone always showed:
Device Status is UNLOCKED. Status (1) , something like that
and i ghave more options like:
BP SBF Flash
BP Only
BP HW Diag & Boot AP
BP Tools
BP Vendor Flash
is my phone special or something heh ?
Thanks in advance
do you have an European XT910? if so then you have the razr XT910 developer edition which is very special because is the only variant that comes with unlocked bootloader, I don't know another possible option to have unlocked bootloader.

If your phone status is really unlocked, means that you have a unlocked bootloader on your phone, which is an amazing thing! Don't need to say more! hehe
Exactly.
I boght my phone some years ago, in a store near chinatown (NY).
I remember, before starting flashing/etc , it always said EU on the rom version.
Anyway, thanks !
But what can i do with this unlocked bootloader ? Anything special ?
Becoz i'm facing problems trying to install an specified rom in slot2 (also created a thread asking why the problem is ocurring)
Thanks in advance

Well, you can flash roms on the stock slot without erase your cid, Which is a really good thing. When we install roms in the stock slot of a locked razr, we have to erase the cid (Customer ID) of the phone, this makes the phone show an error when turned on and have to be turned on everytime by BPTools or it goes to blackscreen. In your case, you can just flash any rom, without erase the cid partition and without this problem
Hi guys. While I am grateful with you just to be interested in helping, please try to read my whole post before trying to offer a solution, because it is kind of a long trip until now.
I am having a bad experience here trying to root a Moto E XT1021 (single SIM). As warranty is now expired and after watching all development going to this little amazing device we decided to root this phone which is not mine. I followed instructions and unlock the bootloader, fastboot displays a "Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3" line, so I am pretty sure it is.
Now, I get into fastboot mode with hard keys and thru "adb reboot bootloader", I put the SuperSU.zip to flash thru custom recovery inside my sdcard but when I try to flash the custom recovery with a "fastboot flash recovery recovery_whatever.img" I get:
Code:
target reported max download size of 299892736 bytes
sending 'recovery' (7300 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.250s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.702s]
finished. total time: 0.952s
In cellphone display I get:
Code:
cmd: getvar:partition-type:recovery
cmd: getvar:max-download-size
cmd: download 008d5800
cmd: flash: recovery
Mismatched partition size (recovery)
So I don't guess nor assume the recovery was flashed, fastboot is informing it writed the IMG file to the correct partition. So I reboot and try an "adb reboot recovery" which fails miserably and reboots to system. Well, I read and read and find that I have to go directly from fastboot to recovery, but when I do this, the same thing happens. So, I read in another similar problem and the guys say I have to stay in fastboot display, disconnect my phone, and AFTER this I have to go to recovery directly from fastboot, but when I do this, display goes blank (does not seem to have backlight on).
I have tried with, literally, every custom recovery IMG I have found here and from scripts like Moto Tool and Super Tool. The most I can get is this. Or a pixelated-static display trying to get into recovery but finally failing. Help me, please, I just wiped the whole thing to unlock bootloader and if I can't root it my wife is gonna kill me.

I have tried unsuccessfully updating my Chinese N1 using fastboot using the files uploaded by wodz69 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-n1/general/n1-taiwan-release-t3083115/page1 .
That is the BOOT and RECOVERY files on drop box and SYSTEM file from mega . The N1 was on A5CNB19 Lollipop 5.1.1.
Prior to flashing with fast boot I tried rooting the device without success. I'm not sure, but think part of the reason I couldn't root was because the drivers hadn't installed correctly and the device didn't show up properly on my PC.
I ended up resolving the driver issue and was able to see the N1 as a drive on my PC. By that time I had given up on the root process, as I decided I didn't need it to flash the new images. Therefore I don't know if I could have rooted it or not.
On the device I had enabled "developer" mode and initially turned on USB debugging and unlocked the boot loader. I ended up turning off USB debugging for some reason prior to flashing the new images so I now don't have USB debugging on nor adb access.
Even though I had unlocked the boot loader on the N1, the device still showed it was locked when in fastboot mode. I used the fastboot oem unlock command to get it unlocked.
I was able to flash the RECOVERY and BOOT images but when it came to the SYSTEM image, which I left to last, I got this message "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" .
I have checked the MD5 sum of my copy of the SYSTEM image file and it matches the one in post #33 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-n1/general/n1-taiwan-release-t3083115/page1 .
I cannot get the N1 to boot up past what I'm calling the fastboot mode screen.
When I press the Power button on the device I get a screen giving the choice of either starting using the POWER key or rejecting the image by pressing VOLUME.
If I choose the POWER button the device hangs on a screen with "Powered by android'.
Rejecting the image by pressing the VOLUME button brings up the "Powered by android screen' for a few seconds prior to showing a screen which I'm calling the fastboot screen.
On this screen there's a box at the top, which by using the volume keys, can be toggled between NORMAL BOOT, POWER OFF, RECOVERY MODE, RESTART BOOTLOADER . Below that is the green android symbol lying on its back with an open flap showing its insides (blue IC's). About half way down on the left of the screen is status information with "Fastboot mode" (in red) at the top.
If I choose RESTART BOOTLOADER or RECOVERY MODE the device boots back the fastboot screen. NORMAL BOOT brings up the screen asking to either start using the Power button or reject the image using the volume buttons. POWER OFF works OK.
Where do I go from here to either reflash the original ROM or another ROM, or get the new SYSTEM image working?
There doesn't appear to be any repositories for Nokia images, at least I cannot find any. Would I have any success trying another Lollipop ROM for an Intel tablet. At least this way I may be able to enable USB debuging and then be able to use ADB to install a new the files I have. Apparently there has been some success using ADB.
Thanks for your help.
