Yep, this really is dangerous. If for any reason your partition layout does not match mine, or you do anything wrong, you can overwrite the fastboot bootloader (that thing in partitions 1 and 2)

This is my partition layout. You should ALWAYS save any partition before overwriting. Save it persistent to your PC!

device: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/tmp/0p3backup

pc: adb pull /tmp/0p3backup

As I said overwriting the logo partitions does never give the possibility to show a customized logo as long as you don't have the private key to sign your logos.

If you do anything wrong, recovery procedure may be impossible or at least complicated (there is some kind of unbrick for razr i here on sda but I never tried that!)
[RAZR i General] Andro1dism:
Hi PosixCompatible,

thanks for the answer.

The second command is clear to me, executed in a cmd window.

device: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/tmp/0p3backup
pc: adb pull /tmp/0p3backup

But where does the first command to be run? Also in a cmd window?

This command just saves original ulogo block, right? (since identifier "mmcblk0p3" from your first post matches the command's )

Thx!

[RAZR i General] Thorstenk:
Thanks for the explanation - as I don't want to kill my phone I will probably not risk that. Let us know if you find a more safe way. The bootloader unlocked logo sucks!
[RAZR i General] paulle:
maybe this tool can help you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2653458

it contains the option flash bootloader image.
[RAZR i General] PosixCompatible:
It is safe as long as you have a backup ready (I was taking a risk that maybe fastboot would not start with a wrong image - but as I have proved that now overwriting logos itself is safe) and do not overwrite the wrong partition.

The tool paulle linked does not help you. Flashing a wrong image by fastboot is not possible as it gets verified before being written to flash that therefore fails.

PatricioJP links just explain how to exchange the android bootanimation. That is the one which gets loaded by the user roms kernel/surfaceflinger and does not help us here.
[RAZR i General] Thorstenk:
Thanks!

So did you exchange the ulogo with logo partition just by dd one over the other? Do I have to specify the block size or is it just a dd if=logo partition of=ulogo partition ?

Thorsten
[RAZR i General] PosixCompatible:
if=logo of=ulogo would (mostly) display the Motorola logo instead of the unlocked logo, yes. No additional options needed.

"mostly" because when in fastboot and selecting options from there, it gives an error message instead of the logo.

I personally modified some bytes in ulogo and flashed that back so I get the "service required" message.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 24bronco:
My gear was rooted on Null 22.1 with no problems at all. I wanted to go back to stock. So I used Odin to go back to the V700XXUAMK7 United kingdon version and I get hung up at the samsung screen. I waited maybe 10 minutes the I just restarted the phone and same thing happens. It gets to the Samsung screen and that's it. I live in California, United states.

So I downloaded the XAR version on bell south and flashed through OdIn and I get the same thing happening as above. It wont get past the Samsung screen, when it reboots. I read around the threads and some say to try Odin 3.7. I was using Odin 3.9. No result the same thing is happening after I glash, It boots up I see the blue swirl thing then it gets to the Samsung screen and stays there. Then after like 10 minutes the screen goes off and I see a orange battery charging but thats it. I wont load the stock ROM.

What do you recommend I do. I know its not bricked. I can get into Download mode. and reflash but when I do it wont do past the samsung screen.

Thanks in Advance

Hi all

My phone is not responding, after unpuging USB cable when i instaled kernell from this pack: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2411343

1. I unlocked bootloder using fastboot and this go fine.

2. After that i use flashtool to instal kernel, and this also go well but after i instal kerlle the usb cable was unplug and then i got this black screen.

Now i got black screen on power on. The power button dosnt work normally.

Phone is not recognized in PC or Flashtool.

Only two combinations of keys work:

Pwr + vol + = reset of the phone, after reset it is a short time when Sony logo came up, and purple led flesh once.

Pwr and vol up and down = phone is shutdown

Is this some wat to rescu this phone? Or i got one, nice looking brick?

P.s. Sorry for my english.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cmr_noob:
you need to install the rom ... not only the kernel ... once the purple led comes press the volume up key , it'll take you to the recovery . Do a factory reset and then install the rom ..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an0m13:
My HTC One died on Saturday for no apparent reason whatsoever, it was a T-mobile HTC one with the RUU conversion to GPE. I was watching Netflix it on saturday noon and the battery was about 50% and the phone restarted for no reason or error.

Later that day around 5pm I wanted to use the phone and it would not turn on, I thought that the battery could be dead so I set it to charge, but the LED would not turn on on the charger or computer, so I figured the battery was probably completely drained. I let it charge all night and next morning the LED still was not on, so I tried to boot the phone and nothing, I used power + volume down, and not even the bootloader would come up. I tried ADB and nothing.

After reading some info online and XDA I noticed that a lot of people are experiencing the same issue, would this be related to unlocking and rooting the GPE RUU?

Similar Issues:

HTC one won't turn on, No LED, no flashing Home/Back button

I just discovered that the phone is detected under my windows machine as: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

Will I have to send it to HTC or is there a way to bring it back from dead?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghav kapur:
Im sorry to tell you this, but Qualcomm HS-USB is USUALLY a sign of a hard brick. In other words, you cannot get the phone back to life.

The only possible way of recovery of this device is to send it to HTC. They will replace the motherboard, which costs a BOMB. If im not mistaken, its about $200.

Ideally, you should avoid RUU conversion unless ur 100% sure about what you're doing. Flashing ARHD 6.1 or SinLess would have been a much wiser thing to do IMO
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] an0m13:
Raghav

The thing that I don't understand is why the phone got bricked after a week of doing the RUU conversion? ( I have done RUU conversions before on a different HTC One and this one two months ago)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrgobstopper:
So I was looking at roms for my phone and I saw one named liquidsmooth and I wanted to put it on my phone but every time I tried to put it on using safestrap and everytime I load it and flash it but my screen is black and sometimes it was like pixel like bars that was a light blue and pinkish color. Im running the latest safestrap on 4.3 and I want to know what I need to do. Please help me thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 65vdub:
Safe strap doesn't work with aosp based Roms. You're limited to only touch wiz Roms if you're using safe strap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrgobstopper:
Is there a way I could get liquidsmooth on my phone? I've looked everywhere but im a noob and dont know what to do. Cause ive heard that the bootloader is locked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 65vdub:
Unfortunately the bootloader was locked down very tight by Verizon and the devs are working hard for a workaround but there is nothing in terms of aosp Roms for safe strap. If you want something with aosp styling, I'd recommend hyperdrive rls14. It has aosp theming and insane battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
you can try to pick up a Dev phone that has mdk on it....otherwise safestrap is ONLY option with 7 or 8 ROMS to pick from
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
And to be honest there are so many more SafeStrap Roms now than back when I had my mj7 S4...its great. Especially when the devs try to add in more aosp features its really not so bad having a fully locked down s4. It's come a long way that's all I'm saying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] charliepan69:
There are a couple AOSPish TW roms you can load in safestrap if you're on MJ7 or MK2. Foxhound Diamond Dogs posted by Gigilie is pretty nice, I'm using the Eclipse rom as my DD... found on Nitro's website. elementalxdesigns. I don't think the newest builds are posted here. If you're gonna try that, read the WHOLE forum, because installing APKs and Playstore doesn't work. There is a fix for it talked about in there, which works great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I know we could probably go on forever here but I just want to say I've been running Negalite 4.4 (tw) and Sacs ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2512983

On my girls sprint s4 and there both awesome. Someone should see about porting them over or whatever is needed for them to be on Verizon.

Both would make great additions to the SafeStrap list. I realize however though that doing things like this take a lot of time.... Just throwing it out there that's all

My friends SGY also having this problem (power button not responding) when it was with Evo 4.2 with Percy kernel and power button also stopped responding

Then I tried pressing volume + home + power button while it was rebooting and it booted to recovery so I wiped both cache and data and rebooted but my rebooting issue was not resolved

There after I tried many times pressing combination buttons and to my surprise it was booting to recovery or download mode depending on volume key I used

It was indication that power button was working but after rebooting it was not working.

Now I flashed stock firmware and rebooting issue is resolved but still power button is not responding after reboot but it is allowing mobile to come to recovery or download mode

Is it a hardware issue which I doubt because it is responding before booting

Or what else can cause it and any suggestions for this

I'm a noob, but I still figured out how to update my TS by reading around the forums. it's pretty easy!

I could not find a single download button on that link that would let me download the apk file. There were like 10 download buttons that were virus infected. Norton notfied of a trojan virus just visiting the page. That is NOT a site to go to for anything and I'm not going back. There must be a safer site that has the google play .apk.
