Okay got it to work, thanks to my kid....what an idiot I`am thanks Hellcatdroid and

Skysurfer77 for the commands and the encouragement!!!

I will explain my idiocy. I followed the code from hellcat...

Code:

su

cp /sdcard/logo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo_bmc.jpg

I used terminal and what my son found out is that I named it logo.jpg.jpg. Once I figured this out (well he did) ran the code again, rebooted and the galaxy s 2 star screen filled the page. Thanks again for all the help.

So Bell/Virgin people can use this process but copy the file using terminal and if you are old like me have a son around who understands this better!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] misterright321:
thanks works fine
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] chaoszero112:
Finally got this working.

Had to edit the script to say "logo_bmc.jpg" instead of "logo.jpg" as Hellcat said.

(Galaxy S II i9100M)

it's cause the International names is logo.jpg, ours is logo_bmc.jpg (I'm guessing BMC is Bell Mobility Canada).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kimchi0400:
Just fished this from the stock param.lfs file, for those with a different file name than logo.jpg and want the stock boot screen.

Help Yo

my phone is the 9100T version, so i need the stock T version loading screen, I have this from my original vodafone system sfotware in a param.lfs format, do I simply add this to a .tar archive and flash it? is it that simple?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
Works great. Thanks. Here is my bootscreen.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsmaori:
I'm getting the same problem as you. Where do I find the terminal app?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] caanda45:
In the market, get the one by Jack (forget the last name) works well. Search terminal emulator, it will pop up!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsmaori:
Lol, thanks for that. I think I'm in over my head cause I don't have the faintest idea what to do now I've downloaded it. I think I'll stick with the black screen and the error message. At least it'll be different to everyone elses boot screen :p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsmaori:
Still got the error message... Can anyone let me know how I can return to stock boot screen please?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] caanda45:
Go back to a cf chainfire kernel and that should give you back the Sammy bootscreen.

How to get back the stock image?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] k1000716:
dhaneshje posted a .tar file here. Flash that with Odin (PDA) and you'll be fine. I've just done it and it worked fine for me.

Don't forget to thank him and connexion2005 if you haven't already. ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shadowofdarkness:
Has anyone else temporarily lost their IMEI right after flashing this param.lfs?

I used heimdall to flash the file then placed the logo_bmc.jpg in the right place (I am Canadian and that is what the file not found error said it was looking for)

After a successful boot that looked good I noticed that I had no service and *#06# was blank along with the about phone status page listing the IMEI blank.

After 5 minutes just as I went to set the phone down to get my efs backup ready the testing menu came up on its own and my IMEI came back and service was restored.

I just want to know if anyone else had the same thing happen?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
Never happened to me so far, and I replace bootlogos a lot (mostly because I flash new FWs/ROMs that overwrite it with the default again).

Also the boot logo is on partition 4, EFS is partition 1, so it shouldn't touch it....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] k1000716:
+1. I'd used several different logos before switching back to stock yesterday and never had a problem.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shadowofdarkness:
I will just chock it up to random chance that it happened seconds after flashing this. At least it didn't corrupt my efs even though I have numerous backups I never want to use them.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] connexion2005:
This will 110% not touch the EFS zone or corrupt your IMEI info in any way. What you saw was pure coincidence and unrelated...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] System of a pWne!^:
Ok, I did everything as in the first post and now my phone wont boot up.

Before, I've had CM71 on it so I did not flash busybox 1.17 since 1.19 was already installed.

Currently trying to get back into download mode with two resistors at 301k soldered to each other (http://files.daggeringcats.com//android/sgs2/selmade_USB-JIG_301k.jpg)

The picture I flashed was abou 80 kB in sixe and 480x800

Edit

Ok, I got it into download mode again and the phone now boots fine after flashing the stock boot-logo.

Edit 2

Cheers, this time I saved the image I created in photoshop as BMP and saved that file as JPG using Paint. Now the phone boots with a beautiful new boot-logo. Maybe the JPG was too big before or it had some meta-data of photoshop inside, which let to my phone not booting anymore.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Loc2262:
Hellos!

Just a quick note from my end. I haven't tried this script yet, but I took a look at the provided files. Two things struck me.

a)

The provided params.lfs is only 667 kB in size, whereas the stock Samsung one from the KI4 ROM is 985 kB, and from KJ2 is 1.1 MB. Just wondering why this one is so small.

b)

The batch file appears to try to remount the .lfs partition with read/write. But the device file named is /dev/block/stl6:

echo Mounting LFS Partition on your phone...
adb shell su -c "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /mnt/.lfs"

On my SGS2 though (German version with DBT CSC, Cyanogen 7.1 nightlies installed) the partition that is mounted on /mnt/.lfs is named /dev/block/mmcblk0p4. So I suppose the script would fail on my phone even if I tried it. :)

/ # mount
/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 on /mnt/.lfs type j4fs (rw,relatime)

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

Another note, or rather a question.

I read that the custom boot screen thing only works if your custom ROM flash counter is zero, i.e. there's no yellow triangle on the boot screen.

Since I'm on Cyanogen, I do have this cute triangle. :) Now, I got myself a download mode jig which is supposed to also reset the counter, but it doesn't do that.

I've read that Samsung changed the SBL with the latest stock ROM to prevent flash counter resets through jigs. The guy who sold me the jig sent a sheet of paper along saying that I should flash the previous SBL via Odin. The sheet provided links to the SBL image too.

I compared the image to what is provided in the Samsung stock ROMs you can download on the web, and the SBL is identical. I then extracted the SBL I currently have using "dd" in a shell. I found the following identification string in the image:

Secondary Bootloader v3.1 version. Copyright (C) 2011 System S/W Group. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Board: %s %s / %s %s C1 REV 02 Sep 14 2011 20:49:37

The SBL image I'm supposed to flash has this:

Secondary Bootloader v3.1 version. Copyright (C) 2011 System S/W Group. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Board: %s %s / %s %s C1 REV 02 Aug 12 2011 11:37:21

So, all identical except for the build date. Can I flash this older SBL over my existing one without danger of incompatibility?

I had bought the phone with a KE2 ROM pre-installed, which I updated via KIES to KI4. From there, I rooted the phone and put Cyanogen 7.1 on it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
for a)

This param.lfs is smaller 'cause it doesn't contain the bootlogo .jpg

The newer FW ones are larger 'cause they contain more .jpgs for more different models.

for b)

I'd guess it's just an oversight when he ported this to the SGS2.

Yes, that mount will fail.

On that subject:

I did implement this mod into my kernel (proper credits are give in the release post ;)) but that kernel doesn't use a pre-supplied param.lfs, it uses and patches the one present in the phone.

If people want and the OP is OK with it, I could slap up a quick app that runns in the phone and replaces the logo "on the fly".

About the bootloader:

Why not just try the Jig w/o flashing a SBL first, maybe it works already.

If it doesn't, doublecheck you got an old SGS2 SBL and flash it.

You can also find the old SBL in Intratech's stock ROM thread in the dev section.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jlieu:
Working for me, Thanks. Please share the custom boot logo...

Any one have Galaxy Nexus's boot logo?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Loc2262:
Of course I did try the jig with my current bootloader :). It did not reset the counter; as expected. At least I'm assuming that booting the phone with the jig connected should be sufficient to reset it, or do I need to actually flash something after booting?

Anyway, I do have the old bootloader file available, that's where I extracted those ID messages from. :) I just wanted to make sure, i.e. get some feedback from the experts here, that it is really safe to just put the old SBL on my phone, while leaving all the other stuff (PBL, kernel, modem, Cyano) as it is. I was wondering if e.g. the SBL must potentially match the PBL and other stuff.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
Power off phone. Insert jig and it should automatically take you into download mode after resetting the counter to 0.

Remove jig and reboot.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Loc2262:
Okay, thanks, if that is the intended procedure, then indeed with the SBL currently on my phone the jig does not work (as in it does enter download mode, but not reset the counter).

I'll try flashing the previous SBL when the time comes, and hope for the best that there are no incompatibilities with the rest of my system. :) I suppose, since the vendor of the jig suggests doing exactly that, it is safe to do it.

Oh, one other fact that I noticed: When entering download mode via the volume down+home method, the first line on the screen reads "ODIN MODE". When using the jig, it reads "FACTORY MODE". I suppose that is intentional.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Loc2262:
Please find attached a proposal for a retro boot logo (landscape format for better fit). :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
I took the liberty of making a little app for this (giving proper credits for the original mod, of course!)

does not use a pre-supplied param.lfs, patches the one in the phone "on the fly"

pick any image you have on your phone, it gets automatically resized and converted to JPG

can also set the boot logo for when power is plugged in while the phone is turned off (before the battery charging animation is shown)

hey op, can u provide a link to the bootanimation shown in the video? the blue galaxy s one? thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] matiu:
why?? :confused:

If I need root in a custom ROM it's normal to have the yellow triangle...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
THAT, you have to ask Samsung.

And it's fairly normal to just remove it again :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] matiu:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] NOMIOMI:
how to get back the original boot screen?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
Flash a param.lfs from a stock FW .tar.

That completely restores original state.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JazonX:
This is a freaking awesome mod bro, Can you mention how you achieved this, so I can port this mod to Galaxy Note ?

Or, if you need any files from the NOTE rom, let me know, I will upload them.

Thanks a lot !
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JazonX:
I have attached the param.lfs from my firmware (actually a previous firmware, because the current firmware does not contain this file)

Thanks !

Hellcatdroid, That is a great app that I used a few times on GB. Any hope of a update to make it work on ICS?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
I used it myself this weekend on ICS and everything worked fine.

What's not working for you?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shadowofdarkness:
i can select and crop a picture but the buttons to apply the picture are greyed out.

The newest review on the market when I checked also said he couldn't get it to work on ICS so I assumed it was normal.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
Weird, worked fine here.

I'll check this, but I don't have ICS on my phone ATM, might take to the next weekend till I can try and test it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
OK, just put ICS on my phone to test it, and everything worked as expected.

Picked a pic with wrong dimensions, cropped, set it, rebooted and it worked.

Can you detail what exactely you did?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shadowofdarkness:
I did nothing strange just opened the app and chose a picture from the gallery then cropped it to fill the screen. But the set image never lights up.

The .tmp.jpg is created in the base of the sdcard.

Edit: it turns out some pictures work and some don't. I started trying random pictures and it was around half and half for working. I can't figure out what causes one to work and one not to though.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
Ah, oh.... that sounds like a more general bug than a problem with ICS.

Could you upload me two or three of the pictures NOT working, so I can try it out?

Did you choose the pics via the gallery or some other app (like filemanagers)?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shadowofdarkness:
I had never noticed, before pulling the files to my computer, since they were just saved from the browser but I think any ones I tried that didn't work had a smaller resolution then the logo and I never noticed because the gallery always makes stuff full screen.

That may be the problem if the cropping doesn't make anything bigger.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] FabricioGS:
Made this simple boot/splash screen for me and decided to share here :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] catolh:
For some reason "logo.jpg" gets removed after i reboot. I mount .lfs as rw and i can put any files in there alright. but i reboot, and get logo.jpg draw fail. And when i check .lfs the file is gone.

I used the guide at the start of the thread to clear the paramfs.

Currently running Ressurection ICS with the most recent siyah 3rc3

Could it be because i have dual boot?

I have done this on the primary rom, (secondary rom is stock sgs2)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sangosnip69:
Hi guys,

I've try to include this mod in my custom rom, I explain to you what are the step I've follow :

- I've flashed the custom param file.

- I've make a backup of the new /mnt/.lfs folder and put him on my computer.

- I've add my custom logo.jpg to this folder.

- I've put this folder into the zip of my rom and update the updater-script to allow the installation of the lfs folder.

After this, I've flashed my rom, but this doesn't work. So, i think the custom param file modify more files and folder, it do not modify only the .lfs folder ( not sure ).

Someone can give me a solution or tell what are the other files who are modified?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sangosnip69:
Up.

I need the stock logo.jpg please, someone can upload it please?

Thanks.

Hi there,

Just flash a stock param.lfs file from ANY I9100 rom.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Promiser:
Hi connexion...

cound you post a detail step? how to flash back the stock logo (use odin?). i now running D4 rom...

thx in advance!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Promiser:
for someone who want to flash back the stock boot logo, first, you need to go back to GB rom( i run XILA2 and siyah 2.6.14) and use odin to flash the stock param.LFS, like the way to flash the custom LFS (you can download the Stock LFS from #14).

the reason why i go back to GB, because when i run D4 rom(AOKP)and siyah 3.1 RC6, it doesn't work..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] connexion2005:
Flash this in the PDA slot in ODIN...
