I have an Allview P7 Pro (ROOTed) with 6.0 Marshmallow. I want to change the boot logo ( the first image that pops-up when u power up the phone). The thing is that i cannot find the boot.bin/.img/whatever. I tried with Root Browser and is nowhere to be found.
Gionee Elife E7 Mini is actually the very same to Allview P7 Pro, has a MT6737T (if that helps). Any suggestions would be helpful, if someone knows any app or any path for the logo file. BTW, i once wiped the entire phone (the phone was completely empty, not event OS) and the phone was still showing the boot image (again, don't know if that helps). I can give any info about the phone, just let your question or doubt down here. Thanks in advance.
The bootanimation is possibly inside /system/media/.
There you will find a bootanimation.zip

I already know where to find the bootanimation. What i want is the boot logo (the static image that pops-up first when you power up the phone, usually showing the manufacturer and the phone model).

It should be inside the zip or it's something inside the boot.img

Its in the logo partition.
Code:
adb shell
su
ls -l /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.msdc0/by-name | grep logo
dd if="logo Partition Path" of=/sdcard/logo.bin
Exit out of adb
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/logo.bin
Here is a guide that show you what to do next. I have used it and it works. You might have to make a color pallet for your png image to get it small enough to fit in the logo partition.

Ok, here is the straigth... Accidentally stupidly noobly i delete /system folder on my nexian cosmic journey. And now my nexian is stuck...
I try to using fastboot mode to flash recovery image, but my device seems not detected. I already installed the android composite driver, but when i use "fastboot devices" command, it shows (?)
So how the heck to get my nexian back to normal?..
Or perhaps, if i just be able to put back the /system folder to its place again, it would be more easy to recover it... But how access the root when phone is like that?
Is there any help here?

SPECIAL THANKS TO "sliper123" @ HERE
Hello,
I have a Allview Speed City tablet, and after i installed root on it, i changed the dpi using an app..
(root thanks to mad_ady, root availible at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40740061#post40740061 )
After this, the tablet is stuck in a boot loop.
I tried to do a factory reset from recovery mode, but this didn't solved the problem.
(the tablet has only 2 buttons, power and home. The recovery can be accessed pressing and holding both buttons until the recovery boot).
I located the file where the dpi is changing, /system/build.prop , and tried to flash another file from Onda 701 ROM (a very similar tablet). I didn't managed to find the original file. Anyway, the flashing didn't succeeded, "instalation aborted" appeared on the screen.
I found on some forum a flashable zip with build.prop from another device, and i replaced the build.prop file with the one from Onda ROM, signed it with a tiny program and still fails.
What options do i have to replace/edit the build.prop file? Before bricking, the ADB was not turned on on the tablet, and i read that i cannot use the SDK (anyway don't know how to use it). I contacted Allview and they don't want to give me the ROM from the tablet. And so, i call anybody that can give me a backed up rom from the tablet, anyone who have the knowledge about AD ROMS and are willing to help me..
Thanks folks!
I installed ADB on my pc and tried to pull the build.system file from /system on tablet, but i get error:closed.. I tried to run this command with tablet in recovery/ apply update from ADB.. Why do i get this error? the device cannot recieve other commands than adb sideload?
Thanks..
this worked for me for full reset

this has been done with the allview speed city
I had a simular problem...
here my solution, hold on and home button at the same time until the screen gets back
wait until you get the boot screen...
use both, 1. erase card and 2. media options...
then to be save I choosed the other option say something like for factory reset.
the I used the apply update from ADB...
the tablet shows the same screen for 5 or 6 minutes
after it booted normaly, but I still had some problems
and I used a needle for a reset...
after that the tablet worked fine
the only thing what I dont understand is why its still root
Thank you for this tutorial, but i solved my problem with warranty. Even so, i erased all cache, factory reset from recovery but still i had no access to system files, and factory reset didn't changed the build.prop (system settings) to defaults.
It's normal. build.prop is part of /system (and the su binary is installed under /system as well), and any changes you make to /system files are permanent until you flash a different firmware.
Hi Xda members, I edited the touchpad.cfg file because i wanted to remove the water protection.. so when the phone started again the screen became totally unresponsive, i wanted to make a wipe but when i go to Android recovery shows an error saying "Failed to boot 2", is there a way to wipe the phone with all this problems? also i wanted to replace the file with the old one with adb or Android commander but the phone is not recognized on the pc because is pattern locked..

Try using fastboot/adb to replace the touchpad.cfg file with a backup file, then reboot. If you're not sure how to use that try searching the forums or Google it. I really hope you have a copy of the original as that is the fastest way to replace that file and reboot. Hopefully that fixes your issue.

Hi KillerKellerjr, i've got a problem with fastboot, when i select fastboot it gets stucked in starting fastboot protocol support and adb does not recognize it.. drivers are already installed..
I tried to root my me302kl by following the first post described in this thread, but it seems I've bricked my tablet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601837
I have the LTE version, unlocked the bootloader using the apk from Asus, and followed the fastboot method in the first post, and now I'm stuck at the Asus logo on startup. I'm trying to factory reset by using the update download from the Asus website, but when i try
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash update US_ME302C-V4.7.3-0-ota-user.zip
it fails with this:
writing 'update'...
FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)
Then I tried following perpe's advice but both methods did not work
Download the update zip for your device and sku from ASUS. Unpack it once, there should be a second zip, try to flash it with
fastboot update name-of-your.zip
if this doesn't wotk, then copy the update zip to an external sd card. Your sd card should be formated in far32. Place the card into the tablets sd card. Press Volume UP + Power to boot it into the bootloader, it should flash it automatically, if not look if yor bootloader has a menu entry "sd download..." select it with the volume keys and power.

When booting into recovery mode, I get the dead android robot icon, regardless of whether the .zip file is on the SD card or not. I've also tried making a system.img file out of the system folder from the extracted zip file and flashing that with fastboot flash system system.img and fastboot flash boot boot.img, but that didn't work either.
Any kind soul have advice on how to make use of the official Asus OTA .zip file, or perhaps be able to supply some .img backups for me to make use of?
EDIT
Found out that to get the recovery menu to show up, you have to hold the power button and press volume up. I thought that the menu would show up automatically so I got confused. ADB sideloaded the Asus OTA .zip and everything is back to normal

download the OTA zip from the asus website
unzip once, you should have another zip
power on the tablet while holding volume up to boot into recovery mode
after the android robot shows up, hold volume up and press the power button to get the recovery menu to show
install the zip using adb sideload
using adb sideload will differ depending on what OS you're using. you can google to find out more specific instructions for that because it's a little more work to get it for windows. for OSX if you have homebrew, you can just 'brew install android' and it will install all the android tools for you.
once you have adb installed, in the terminal type 'adb sideload pathname_of_zip.zip' and it will restore your device to factory settings
I had the same problem and your trick saved me from sending it back. I am not sure if i would have send it back as I have yet to brick something since I am playing with android back in the days of Viewsonic gtablet. We are stuck with 4.2.

You have to download adb or android sdk, or google how to install adb. Once you have installed the adb, hold the power button, and either Volume UP or down to put tablet into bootlfash recovery mode. Once you have it in recovery mode, push volume up or down to get into true recovery mode.
There you would see adb sideload.
Download US or WWW files from Asus website, and unzip the file into ADB directory or whatever path. then type adb sideload name of the file.
Please read the 1st post by OP on this thread twice or three times, and it tells you how to get your tablet back from brink.

Got it. Done! the tablet is running again, but I encounter another issue
I have no permission to write internal sd.
I cant touch internal, some apps that require writing don't work (play store, camera, etc) I cant root, unlock or do anything that require w permissions.
Any way to fix that?
Or I have to wait for a CWM and rom image ?

You can download king's root or something which is a window app, and it does give your tablet root. I am not exactly sure about the name, but would let you know once I have access to my laptop.

I have problem with my asus memo pad 10. It just shows asus logo startup screen and nothing more and it have no reaction with anything I do.
Please help!
I can't boot into recovery mode, but there is no problem to boot into fastboot mode!
Could anyone provide stock recovery file or link? Then I can flash recovery and do the adb sideload.
Thanks!!

the phone is currently on Havoc rom android p
