I9500 Changing the boot logo (S4 splash) - Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]

So, since I saw the S6's logo, I said to myself: Why not on S4?
I made the logo using Adobe Photoshop. But because of the Knox Warranty Void thing, I can't test it on my device. So, I need someone the test it. I thought, if it works on Galaxy Tab 3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529133), why not on our device?
I think if we made changes on @ketut.kumajaya 's script (as he let's us to do it), we can make it work on our device as well! I am waiting for your replies. Cheers!
The image I am thinking to use it is attached below.

Hi even I've all over the internet and didn't found anything, well I just saw that above post you mentioned about galaxy tab 3 splash logo, I did wanted to try flashing your image file but I can't risk it because it hard brick the device, hope you understand. But if I found something I surely will reply here.
Have a good day.

Thanks for you reply. I understand you don't want to brick your phone. I've searched a lot and found that the logo is also in kernel too. On January 2016, my phone's payment will finish. Maybe I can void my warranty and try this.

Well wishes from me, I've started working on it, I'll let you know if I find something.

Warranty ended will test if made flashable zip or instructions on how to change provided(note: I can only use flashfire,as I have a locked bootloader) . In stang5litre's rom thread gadget (a dev) made a boot animation for the s4 so you might want to contact him if you want help.
Another thing: Flashfire does't trip knox when flashing most things, i'm on stang5litres rom with 0x0(not that this helps me)

I have a I9505 to try it on, as long as I can recover it if it goes bad.

You can change your bootlogo by decompile your boot.img and replace your image with param.bin
Then recompile your kernal..

Hi,
This topic is almost died. S4's stock kernel does not have the splash logo. Flashing the modified param.bin does not work too. So we have no hope.

Why the f**k you want to change things you only saw for seconds?

Fyi don't do this. Samsung splash is set in the bootloader.

Help - installed ICS GT i9100 on i777

Please Help. I flashed this Ice cream sandwich file "I9100XXLPB_I9100OXXLP5_OXX" on my galaxy s2 i777 and now i cant go back to stock. I get a frozen boot screen with the gt-i9100 logo. The only time I can get the phone to turn on is when I reflash the i9100 ics with odin. I dont want that because the back and search buttons dont work and internet data is not working. I just want to go back to the icsrewd that I had or foxhound. Please help. Thank you.
P.s. I also tried this, but didnt work "[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)"
Why not flash back to what was working, as you stated you can, and then from there, clear/wipe etc., and flash what you do want?

It wont let me flash anything that has to do with i777, not even the rom i had before.
If you can get into download mode you can flash back to stock. Just do everything you did when you flash the 1900 but use the stock one found in the development board and you should be fine

Tried to return to stock. It finishes download and reboots phone, but then the screen freezes at the galaxy s2 logo. I have to re-enter download mode to get off that screen. The phone never boots up after that. I need a link to a .tar file for a rom so I can flash through odin.

Flash back to stock first. You need to flash everything for the I777 that is in the i9100 package that caused the problem. Use an archive program to open the i9100 tar and look at the contents. It probably includes boot.bin, sbl.bin, and param.lfs. None of the stock I777 packages that you tried to flash have those. In that case, flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries from the Download Repository, which contains those files.
What Creepy said is accurate. The reason yer messed up is you flashed i9100 bootloaders most likely.

Thank you so much everyone, creepy especially. I struggled with this problem for hours tonight until I was able to get your method to work. I want to cry I'm so relieved. I've only got a few hours until I have to get up for work, but it's all been worth it now that my phone is resurrected. You all are techno-saviors.

Why oh why are people so eager to do things to their phones without even a basic understanding of what they are doing? At least he only resurrected a thread and didn't start a new one.:silly:
Oh, looks like I spoke too soon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34787156#post34787156
U need to flash stock firmware with odin to restore functionality to the phone. Search for "stock firmware uckh7 i777 xda" with Google or search for creepyncrawly's profile here on xda, in his signature he has links to return to stock. Good luck.

Ok this is not being mean or rude, but if you dont know the meaning of these basic terms then you need to stop what your doing and spend some time doing your homework. Will you be with out a phone for a few hours? Yes but this is the price you pay for doing something before you understand what your doing. So please before you do something that cant be fixed. Do the research.

[Solved] help with a soft-bricked phone ((urgently))

Somebody help me with my issue
I was having RR ROM with Siyah 3.3.3b Kernel and the secondary boot is port JB
I was on the secondary boot and I was restarting I found that the device is crashed
I thought it’s the kernel so I booted the phone to the download mood and flashed a kernel again and its not working also
I tried to add new software from Odin and it was giving me errors like | failed to mount emmc
I searched the internet and by mistake I flashed the device with i9100G PIT files and I re-partitioned the device and also I flashed a new boot loader not only this but also during the flashing process my pc crashed and it restarts leaving my device with no life
I can’t even turn the device on or go to download mood or anything the only thing that let me have a faith that the mobile is still a live that its getting heat while the battery is plugged in
Anyone can help with this?
Hard Brick?
As far a I know flashing a wrong bootloader hard-bricks your phone. the bootloader is what loads first, ans then in turn loads the rest of the system. if your bootloader is broken, it will neither load recovery, DL-Mode nor the system. maybe you can find a solution to this by searching for wrong bootloader or anything of the sort.
if everything fails you would need to get a new motherboard or whatever it is called in an android phone. there are guides in this forum on this, I once used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253969 althogh the photos only seem to work with the old xda2010 theme.
I hope it is not what it looks like and you get your phone up and ruing again.
Bootloader had nothing to do with what went wrong for him. He flashed an I9100G pit file to an I9100.
OP, unfortunately there's nothing you can do at this point short of JTag service, or visiting/sending the phone to a Samsung service center.
find a repair center that preforms jtag near you, it should cost you about 40$

am living in Egypt we don't have Jtag services .. i saw what they can make on you-tube and am still in warranty so i don't know what to do should i pass it by the warranty should they let me pay or it will be free ?
From what i've read on this forum its better if you try to send it to samsung for warranty your chances to get it repaired is 50/50 just play dump you have nothing to loose
thanks guys for your reply i think i made an issue with the MB BOIS firmware hence it has to be hard flashed in the warranty so am scheduling the same on next Friday i hope that they will not ask for money as it was on a custom ROM
because here in Egypt Warranty is make fool of us and they always take much money to fix noob issues so guess what they can do regarding mine.
I've got my device from the warranty , its working fine now .. i need to inform you that Warranty in Egypt confirmed that flashing custom ROMs is not voiding the Warranty its just black listing the device in their records .
They are flashing boot loaders smoothly.

What is it you would like to do? Keep it stock or root it?
start into recovery and do FactoryReset & WipeCache
Did that several times.. still stuck on the logo...

Maybe rooted, just so that I can flash a good stock custom rom... that is debloated, deoxed, good battery, camera etc...I may need suggestion wirh that one too....
I really appreciate u guys replying. .. thnx
You have bigger problems to solve first.
Go to sammobile.com and download the latest stock firmware for your own country.
Follow the instructions on how to flash with odin.
If the flash works then factory reset in recovery, before you try to boot.
If the flash fails then you may find the reason it suddenly stopped working.
Thank u for your response.
Thats the main problem I have. The phone is being used in Ghana now. I could have checked if could get to at lest the screen.
How can I check for the country when the fone wont get me to the screen. On top of that... its stocked and not rooted!
Root is not needed for flashing stock firmware.
Original country is irrelevant, use your own.
Okay sir, will proceed and get back to u...I appreciate the suggestions.
Once you have done what @boomboomer has said then we can help you with rooting and rom's, that is if you still want to root it.

but I dont know the original firmware that came with it. What I do know is that.... its never been rooted or flashed before when bought
Go to a SamsungStore. Perhaps they can find out the country-code by the codes on the label behind the battery. But perhaps there are still other&better idea's...

No, this isn't true.
Only the model number of firmware must match the phone to avoid brick. CSC makes no difference and even region lock is irrelevant, if it worked in that country before.
Make sure you understand details yourself before advising others, although you did no harm in this case.

Okay I got it working one 4.3....thanx so much everyone. Now I wanna root and find a Rom that gives me max battery life...close to the stock as possible and also better camera quality. Also debloated....
Suggestion: NCS-ROM 8.1
Use it since 1 year and return always after trying another rom.
Thank you...will try that one too....am open to other suggestions too.... Roms close to stock but optimized for speed, debloated and very stable.
