I just upgraded to android 4.4.4 official, but as I unlocked the bootloader I get the typical red letters ... what I wanted to know is how is your bootanimation (locked bootloader)? it's like the moto g saying powered by android? someone help me? ( i just know would help me as I can open or view the file logo.bin from pc)

This is the boot image for the moto g:
[Moto X Themes and Apps] KidJoe:
Do you have an X or a G?

For an X (2013 model), the stock BOOT Logo for 4.4.2, 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 is the same as the graphic you posted.

If you have TWRP recovery installed... Download -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/X-STUFF/LogoBin-STOCK442NoWarn-Flashable.zip to the /SDcard on your phone, boot into TWRP, and select to install/flash a ZIP... and then select that one. Next time you boot, you'll see the stock boot logo but the Unlocked Warning will be removed.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] LordLugard:
Tried flashing the zip file in TWRP and all i get is a pixelated graphic where the unlocked bootloader-warning-of-doom used to be.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] KidJoe:
That works just fine on my X(2013) running 4.4.4, and was the same graphic I used on 4.4.2 for a while.

Do you have a first gen or "2013" X? What ROM do you have on your phone? Are you using Safestrap?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] LordLugard:
Phone was new but came with 4.2.2. 2013 Sprint Moto X of course. I'm running stock rooted 4.4.4. (Flashed 4.4.4, never went the 4.4.2 route).
[Moto X Themes and Apps] KidJoe:
Can you boot to FastbootAP/Booloader mode and tell me what version bootloader you have? Is it 30.B4, 30.B7 or something else?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] LordLugard:
It shows 30.70..
[Moto X Themes and Apps] KidJoe:
So you have 4.4.4 on your phone, but an OLDER BOOTLOADER. If I recall correctly 30.70 is the bootloader version that came with the original 4.2.2 ROM. The first OTA that included the camera fix was 30.71. I forget what 4.4 was. 4.4.2 is 30.B4, and 4.4.4 is 30.B7.

That is why its not working for you. The format of the LOGO.BIN is different between 4.2.2 and 4.4. These latest ones we're posting only work with 4.4, 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 bootloaders.

When you flashed 4.4.4, did you skip MOTOBOOT.IMG and GPT.BIN? If so, that is the problem.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] LordLugard:
The ROM was one file. Here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2499594

Everything works fine, etc, I just regret trying to get rid of the doom and gloom boot loader message which really didn't bother me really. Now the pixelated thingy bothers me..it's an eye sore. :thumbdown:

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

So if I flash just those 2 files (in fastboot?), I should be golden? Where do/can I get/find them? Thanks.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] KidJoe:
That link you supplied appears to have OTA.ZIP files. So something doesn't add up since you say you never went "4.4.2 route."

OTA ZIPs are cumulative. They do a pre-install check to make sure you are on the correct version, it verifies files, their checksums/hashes and some other parts. If the pre-install checks fail, the OTA will not install.

In other words, to install 4.4.4 OTA ZIP, your phone MUST BE on 4.4.2, and the correct files, and checksums/hashes in place.

The only way around this is if those LINKED files have been modified to remove any version checks and just flash, or have been modified to install when you have a non-stock recovery. In that case, all bets are off. I have no clue what installed for you, and what parts might have been missed and are at old versions.

Looking at ROM LINK for 4.4.4 in that thread, I don't know what it is flashing exactly. Possibly only /SYSTEM? compare its contents to the file under the SOAK LINK. You'll see there is a bunch in that which isn't in the ROM LINK one.

I suggest you download the FULL SBF from either -> http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 or http://www.filefactory.com/folder/dd05c058d3ff8dbe/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=100&page=1

At this point, you have a few choices to make:

1. download the FULL 4.4.4 SBF for your phone and flash it. It may fail because of the older and mismatched bootloader version. And that may result in turning your phone into a BRICK!

2. Download the 4.2.2. SBF, unzip it, and flash the LOGO.BIN it contains to your phone to get the unlocked warning back.

And what ever you do... if you do not bring your bootloader and GPT.BIN in line with the android version on your phone, DO NOT TAKE ANY OTA's from here on out or you can brick your phone!!!!!!!!!

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

You were typing this when I was typing my reply...

Its more than just those two files. You likely have much more that is inconsistent on your phone.

To be honest, I really hesitated to suggest anything for fear of bricking your phone. (because that often happens in this state)
[Moto X Themes and Apps] LordLugard:
Sorry, I'm doing all this via Tapatalk while on a train home and it's not the most intuitive... :) I'll edit when I get to my PC at home.

If you look at the last 4.4.4 ROM in the linked thread, there's no soak, just a 4.4.4 ROM.

I never OTA'ed to 4.4.2 or accepted any OTA. I'm well aware of the potential to brick the X, believe me.

I appreciate your help so far, really do. Some more insight...

Phone came with 4.2.2 (got it 2 months ago brand new), I did the boot loader unlock via Motorola. Flashed TWRP while still on 4.2.2, did a nandroid (just in case, still have it).

Went to the thread with Sprint stock ROMS, d'led the stock 4.4.4 ROM (last one), flashed it and all is fine.

...And then the other day decided to do the whole remove boot loader message thing and hence the pixelated graphic.

I assure you, I've never run 4.4.2 on my X.

I guess I can live with the pixelated image, just an eyesore really, doesn't affect anything..

...Or, I'll find the time and follow your advice about the SBF route..

Update:

I extracted the LOGO.bin file in the 4.2.2 SBF and fastbooted it, and i'm back to the way it was, no pixelated eyesore. I'm fine with that, thanks. [MENTION=1165307]KidJoe[/MENTION]
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
I would download the full 4.4.4 SBF from the link below and flash it with RSDLite if I were you:

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
[Moto X Themes and Apps] LordLugard:
I've been to that site and i don't see a 4.4.4 SBF, only 4.4 or 4.4.2.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
Which variant do u have? Check here as well, there are more 4.4.4 SBFs:

[Moto X Themes and Apps] LordLugard:
Sprint X1056 is my model.

Thanks for the other 2 links. Now i see a 4.4.4 for Sprint on there, but i also see a 4.4.4 for Sprint here http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/development/roms-stock-roms-t2499594 (KIT KAT 4.4.4 System Version: 212.44.28) as well, which is what i've been running just fine for a while now. What's the difference really, if anyone knows?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] KidJoe:
As I said before. There are 2 Links under 4.4.4 in that XDA thread. A "ROM LINK" and a "SOAK LINK" They are different files and contain different things.

Looking inside the "ROM LINK" it appears to be only a SYSTEM DUMP and is missing the updates for the bootloader, partition table, stock recovery, modem files, logo.bin and potentially other stuff. And that explains why you still have the older bootloader on your phone.

The SOAK LINK is a real/full OTA update file, complete with the pre-install checks, so I doubt that is the 4.4.4 you used, because you would have had to be on 4.4.2 to install it.

The full SBF's at the other links I supplied, and mschumacher69 supplied are COMPLETE full ROM images, they are not "updates". You can use Mfastboot or RSDLite to flash them. They contain ALL PARTS and flashing should bring everything in line, bring all parts up to their latest versions, and make everything consistent.

In your case, I would suggest download the full SBF for the android version and build version your phone reports, visit -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html read the requirements, and use Option 5, or option 3 or 4.

There is always a risk of bricking when flashing a phone. When you have mismatched versions of parts on your phone (like the bootloader vs the rest of the ROM), the risks increase. However, because of the missmatched versions, on your phone, you will brick should you take a future OTA in this state! Using mFastboot or RSDLite to flash the full SBF has been successful in the past for situations like this, but I still give warnings because you never know.

After you flash the full SBF, you'll need to re-flash your custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, or the like), and likely need to re-root. But with an unlocked bootloader that is not an issue.

Linux/OS X version of carock’s script

In you’re on Linux/OS X/etc.

1. Make sure you have ffmpeg installed. If you have brew:

brew install ffmpeg

2. Create a compress.sh with the following:

ffmpeg -i $1 -f rawvideo -s 720x1280 -pix_fmt bgr24 temp.raw
perl compress.pl
rm temp.raw
cat logo-moto.raw >> logo.bin

3.

chmod +x compress.sh

4.

./compress.sh <name-of-bmp-file>

That’s it — then flash using fastboot after rebooting your phone to the bootloader:

adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

[Moto X Themes and Apps] kschang:
I had to reflash and I got tired of the plain old Google boot logo, so I made a new one by remixing some old stuff:

Here's how I did it:

1) I took the existing logo from one of the various converted logos from http://mark.cdmaforums.com/X-STUFF/X-LogoBins.zip specifically the Logo-Google_pbA_clogo.bmp, which is the dark background, white "Google" in the middle, powered by Android in the bottom.

2) I used MLOGO (see this topic for the utility) to extract using "extractall" parameter, and I got three files: logo_battery.png, logo_boot.png, logo_unlocked.png

3) I loaded the Logo_unlocked.png into PAINT.NET (you can download it free at getpaint.net) moved the Google part a little lower, then copied the "colorful Moto" from a different boot logo, pasted it in ,so it looks even, and added "unlocked bootloader" (because that's what the logo is, right?)

4) I then saved the file as PNG 32-bit from Paint.net as Logo_unlocked2.png (don't want to mess up the original)

5) I then replaced the existing logo_unlocked with the new one I created with mlogo

6) I then boot the phone into bootloader mode, then "fastboot flash logo (insert actual logo.bin filename here)" then "fastboot reboot" and voila, it's in.

If you just want my logo, take the ZIP, extract the bin, then just do step 6, provided you already have fastboot / adb all setup for your device, of course.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] lordloki77:
Is the stock logo linked the one that includes the bootloader unlock warning? If not, is there a way to pull the current one from a phone (either using fastboot or otherwise?) I am anal and want to make sure I could revert to that version, not just the original pre-unlock one if needed.

Cheers,

lordloki
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
You can always extract the original logo.bin file from an SBF. You don't have to pull it from a phone.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] lordloki77:
That depends on whether the original contains the unlock warning., or whether the unlock process modifies the file.

Anyone know for sure?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
I know for sure that the original boot.bin contains 3 different pictures in 1 file which are the M Logo, the Battery Empty sign and the Unlock Warning. Check post #27 to know what I'm talking about.

The unlock process doesn't modify the file, all it does is display the correct portion of the file depending on the status of your phone:

1. If your phone is locked, it would display the top portion of the file which is the M Logo.

2. If your phone is unlocked or re-locked, it would display the bottom portion of the file which is the Unlock Warning.

3. If your battery is drained and you attempt to turn on the phone or plug it in to charge it, it would display the middle portion of the file which is the Battery Empty sign.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] lordloki77:
Awesome. Thanks for that confirmation. Do you have any suggestions for opening the bin files and replacing the images? I would like to leave the Battery Empty sign file alone :)

Thanks for your help!!

lordloki
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
The thing is that they are not 3 separate files withing the .bin file, the .bin file itself is 1 single image of the 3.

So it's not about replacing 1 file and leaving the others alone, you would have to edit the whole file using Photoshop, replace the Warning Message at the bottom with the original logo while leaving the original logo at the top and the battery empty sign in the middle intact.

I myself am not a photo editing expert and I suck at it big time, so I've been waiting for someone to do that because I don't want to loose the battery empty sign either, but no one has done it yet. So I'm still on the original boot.bin because I prefer having the warning message rather than loosing my battery empty sign.

But if u think u can do it, here's a guide on how to use Photoshop to do it:

[Moto X Themes and Apps] lordloki77:
Got it. Thanks for that link. Can definitely do it, probably tomorrow. Link or pm me the image you want and I'll give it a go :)
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
I just want the original lime green M Logo, so if you can copy it from the top to the bottom replacing the warning message (while leaving the top logo at the top) that would be great!

I do believe that the layout and dimensions of the whole image which contains the 3 images should stay the same for the bootloader to display the correct part of the image depending on the status of the phone. That's why I said "while leaving the top logo at the top" because I believe if you cut the logo from the top, the whole image would contain 2 images instead of 3 and the height of the image would decrease and I don't think the bootloader would know how to interpret the file to show the correct image.

Thanks

[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
So now you have the original logo an animation instead of the winter themed ones?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jimmiet:
Yes, the blue M logo with "Motorola a Google Company" underneath, and the morphing planet animation.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
That's weird. Try re-installing the apk, maybe it's like a toggle, every time it's installed it switches between the original theme and the winter theme. So maybe when you installed it now, it reverted back to the original theme and if you install it again, it would revert to the winter theme.

Btw, looking at the video from this thread, the boot logo doesn't actually change with the boot animation. So maybe that's why yours didn't change.

Are u sure ur gf's phone's boot logo changed to a purple one??

I wouldn't know on mine because I have unlocked my bootloader so I see the warning message instead of the boot logo before the animation.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jimmiet:
I'm not sure about other rooted users, but apparently it's hit or miss for people's logos changing with the animation. I am sure that my gf's did though. Looks like the stock logo with "motorola a google company" underneath it, except the M logo is a white M in a purple circle. This is kind of weird, neat, but weird.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
R u sure what u're referring to actually appears before the boot animation? Because this purple logo that u're referring to also appears at the end of the animation and is part of the animation itself.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] lordloki77:
Dev edition, unlocked and rooted -- winter theme is there :)
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
Unlocked and rooted is different than locked and rooted because the root method on locked bootloader phones is much more complicated than the simple root on unlocked bootloader phones.

So we want to know if users rooted on locked bootloader phones have the winter theme. Also, if someone on a locked bootloader phone can confirm that the winter theme also includes the boot logo or it is the boot animation only.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] lordloki77:
It didn't occur to you when I posted both details that I knew that? Your original post just said it might be due to being rooted. I just said to let you know that it _does_ work fine if you are unlocked and rooted. Now someone else can answer for the other case...
