30c was installed in the G2 I purchased. So far 4 different rooting techniques failed (Purple Drake, ioroot, StumpRoot, LGOneClickRoot). I am about to try Kingroot, but am getting a little anxious because without root my plans for CM are on hold. If you need root and can root on 30b I would not recommend the upgrade unless there's an extremely compelling reason (battery drainage fix, etc).

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
Works good with 128Gb card.

But card needs to be formatted inside tablet, and latest firmware should be installed (Android 5.0.2-5.1.1).

Maybe it will work with some earlier firmwares, but no guarantee.

My last Mx Player version 1.7.40 and not Finding expression in the headlines .It mistake by me or is it in? Thanks for the advice
[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
I've tried to find a tutorial for this, but seems like it doesn't exists. So I've learned about S6, Note 5 and even a russian Note 3 Neo tutorials to make it work. So let's start!

What do you need?

-Patience

-A PC with a Photo Editor (Paint.net should do the trick)

-Terminal Emulator with a little of practice

-(Optional) an external keyboard, since you have to execute quite a lot of commands and there's no way to copy paste into a terminal like in CMD.

1)We start by pulling "param.bin" file out:

It's located in /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 so we have to execute these commands:

su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/mnt/sdcard/param.bin bs=4096

2) This will extract param.bin to your main sdcard folder, then we have to create a new folder and then untar it, by executing this:

mkdir /sdcard/param
cd /sdcard/param
tar xf /sdcard/param.bin

3) If everything went fine, you should see a folder called "param" with all the bootloader's images. We will focus on logo.jpg, but you can change the others like download.jpg and warning.jpg. Extract these files to your PC and edit them, make sure that the images doesn't go up to 400 kb, otherwise they will not show in the device. To achive this you can downgrade the JPEG quality from 100% to 80% or any % you feel confortable to use. Once you finish the editing process, place them inside your main /sdcard folder.

4)Now we have to paste your edited images inside /sdcard/param folder and retar param.bin, we have to execute these commands:

cp -f /sdcard/logo.jpg /sdcard/param/logo.jpg
(OPTIONAL) cp -f /sdcard/warning.jpg /sdcard/param/warning.jpg
(OPTIONAL) cp -f /sdcard/download.jpg /sdcard/param/download.jpg
rm -f /sdcard/param.bin
cd sdcard/param
tar cf - `ls | sort -t.` > /sdcard/param.bin

5) Last but not least, we have to place param.bin back again in the system, so:

dd if=/sdcard/param.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 bs=4096

If everything went fine, reboot and you will see the new logos come up! Make sure to backup param.bin once it gets extracted, in case if something goes wrong. There's no way to brick the device, the major risk is a blackscreen while booting, but the device will boot fine so you can repair it without problem (IF you made a backup, otherwise you will have to reflash the bootloader in ODIN).

I hope you like it! Leave your questions below and I'll try to answer them ASAP. Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MehmetAliCan:
tar xf /sdcard/param.bin gives me sh: tar: not found
[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
Make sure that the param.bin is located in /sdcard and not in any other folder. Try to run the script in SH Script Runner as Root and see if it works.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] khalifnet:
Thanx for your work.can we copy/past into terminal cmd without external keybord.??

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

tar cf - `ls | sort -t.` > /sdcard.....gives me no such file...tar:error exit delayed from previos errors
[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
Nope, there's no way to copy/paste in terminal emulator atm.

There's a zip below, unzip it and paste the *.sh script file inside your device and run it (Root Browser works for me) as root. If everything went fine, you should see this dialog:

Finished executing script file
exit value 0

stdout:
null

stderr:
null

Then a file named "param.bin" will be generated in your main SDCard folder. After that run the last command to paste it inside the bootloader again:

dd if=/sdcard/param.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 bs=4096

Reboot and you will see your new bootlogo!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] khalifnet:
Thnx mr galaxynote2 for your reply.i follow your tuto and succed to have both param.bin and param.modifyed logo.jpg ,place it in sdcard but when when i execut cmd to retar it gives me no such a directory
[Galaxy Note 4 General] khalifnet:
Plz mr galaxynote2 have a look in attached file
[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
That's because you're already in sdcard/param. There's no need to use "cd sdcard/param" command. Just go ahead with the tutorial :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yomyself:
This works great, you can copy paste with "terminal emulator for android" made by Jack Palevich, is in the play store, I use multi-window to open the browser and terminal, then copy from browser and long-press on terminal to paste.

I edited the .jpg with faststone image viewer
[Galaxy Note 4 General] khalifnet:
Don t succed at all.i don t know why?!any help?!thnx and sorry for my english
[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
That's because you're using (') instead of (`). Use the script I provided earlier :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] khalifnet:
Thanks mr galaxynote2 for your quik reply.finally all the process goes fine but no change.still got note4 bootlogo.can copy past modifyed logo.jpg in param folder??thanx
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Near_07:
i always ended up with black screen xD even how much i resize the .jpg the original photo size is 89.9kb . resizing my new logo to 69.1 kb, 76.9 kb still dont work xD do you have technique to make it work . im using photoshop and i i also tried Paint.net. . no luck
[Galaxy Note 4 General] raph6280:
Thanks for the tutorial!

Does anyone else also have a tar checksum error or has anybody a solution to this? :confused:

BTW, i'm using the COH4 version bootloader.

[MENTION=4868023]galaxynote2[/MENTION] this guide should work on F variants as well, but not with mmcblk0p8 but mmcblk0p12 (or at least that is what diskinfo tells me ;) )

great guide though :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] APCOtech:
Ok , time for some troubles :)

I followed this guide and tried to do this with a custom image . It bricked my phone and I need help plz.

The power button do nothing at all , recovery mode is not starting , the only thing that works is download mode , that is a good sign .

Now , I flashed OI6 bootloader from wanam's thread , Nothing happens , after the flashing is done , the phone turns into black screen and I have to remove battery to start download mode again.

flashed N910CXXU1COH4_N910COXA1COH4_N910CXXU1COH4_HOME.tar.md5 , still nothing happens !

What is really interesting is that the download mode uses the green warning image from [MENTION=4868023]galaxynote2[/MENTION] thread .

I think I need the stock param.bin to be flashed via oden . but I do not know how to do so , is this right ? and how ?

Thanx a lot for any help.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Near_07:
If u tried wanams bootloader it wont work even if you put to bl/ap .. try 5.1.1 bootloader posted in DN5 rom it will work just put it to BL

EDIT : It worked , thanx a lot [MENTION=6008647]Near_07[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ianmb:
Keep getting invalid tar header checksum?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] APCOtech:
Finally , without a brick :D

Used Paint.net only and the quality down to 40% , final size 189KB

Too bad , I could not hide the kernel msg with red background.

Thanx [MENTION=4868023]galaxynote2[/MENTION] for the tutorial , [MENTION=6008647]Near_07[/MENTION] for helping :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] khalifnet:
APCOtec can u tel me plz how to push logo.jpg to param folder?can i modify the original logo.jpg using photo editer pro? I m on erobot rom with 5 0.1 bl.thnx
[Galaxy Note 4 General] APCOtech:
What do you need to know exactly ? Just follow the op. It is easy.

I failed many times and once I bricked my phone , What you really need to take care of :

1) When u finish , save the logo.jpg to a lower quality , not 90% , not 80% , I failed many times , and it worked when I made it 40%

2) you need to use terminal Emulator and when typing make sure u do not miss a space and do not exchange (`) with (')

3) Use a simple drawing app , I do not know about photo editor , just make sure to export the final result as 1440x2560 jpg file, and the file size better be less than 200Kb .

If you need anything just ask :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] raph6280:
Same problem here, I hope someone figures it out why it brings up this error on some devices.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] khalifnet:
Thanx for your reply.i want know if i can copy/paste modifyd logo.jpg in param folder?(overwrite)the original or should i place it in sdcard.thnx
[Galaxy Note 4 General] APCOtech:
The first line in step 4) in OP will copy it inside the param folder , u can copy it yourself if u do not want to type much in Terminal :)

cp -f /sdcard/logo.jpg /sdcard/param/logo.jpg

PS : Plz take care that when I tried this , nothing happened with me , SDcard mentioned in the commands is actually the internal storage , not the external sdcard , that is why many guys resulted a black screen . May be that is just my case , but It failed when used the external SDcard.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Rajada:
this tutorial seems to be wrote for N910C (Sud-America, am i right? [MENTION=4868023]galaxynote2[/MENTION] )

N910C have partition param on /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

N910F have partition param on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12

your problem starts here.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] raph6280:
Yes that's true, I also tried it, after I made the screenshot with the partition 12. Unfortunately it makes no difference when "un-taring" that bin file.

And to make sure that ADB Shell isn't the issue here I did the same procedure in Terminal Emulator directly on my phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] APCOtech:
Just out of curiosity , I tried it for you guys.

Seems like tar can't extract in the root dir of sdcard. From your image, you did not (cd /sdcard/param) which means tar will try to extract in root dir , I tried it here and failed to , then tried to (cd /sdcard/anything) and it extracted successfully.

Hope this will fix it for you :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zamcum:
You re right, I have the same result, but we need to work on partition 12.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] raph6280:
Oh thanks for pointing that out :)

But things don't go that well on my phone, it refuses to extract...

To double-check I made sure that the partition is on mmcblk0p12, so I installed the app DiskInfo (thanks for this hint [MENTION=2158610]Psycho_666[/MENTION] ), so yep it is.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] APCOtech:
Well , just to make sure , I tried using adb command too , may be it is the reason , but it worked too. here are my adb files in case it is different than yours.

PS : I do not know that much , but did u try updating busybox ??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] raph6280:
So I rebooted my Note 4 from Stock(ish) 5.0.1 to AICP 5.1.1 and also updated busybox, used Terminal Emulator and also gave your ADB a try, but I still get a "nope" :p

I'm not sure why, but also my Galaxy S4 (i9505 i think) refuses to extract the bootlogo, not sure what's the reason... maybe the Snapdragon variants could use another format or something
[Galaxy Note 4 General] APCOtech:
Do it manually then .

Your problem is not related to the mmcblk you use , because you can get the param.bin from it , it is about extracting the param.bin

just rename it to param.tar , and extract it in pc using 7-zip , this will bypass your problem , but you will face it again when trying to tar the folder with the new image , and I must warn you , using 7-zip to tar it back and flashing it bricked my note 3 days ago , but Near-07 pointed me out to flash the bootloader only through odin which saved me :D

Edit : Can You upload your param.bin ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] raph6280:
Okay thanks :)

Yes also had that in mind, opening it with 7 Zip - which gives me following error message: Can not open file 'param.tar' as archive

A really strange thing I noticed was, when I zipped the bin file for uploading. The file size has shrunk down to 10.5 KB, I really don't know what's wrong :eek:

Edit/Note: When opening the .bin with a Hex Editor, you see that the file is basically empty
[Galaxy Note 4 General] APCOtech:
Yes , It is obvious that this is not param.bin , u just pulled out mmcblk0p12 and named the result as param.bin

try to run :

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/mnt/sdcard/param.bin

This command just pulls out that partition and put it in a file under the name param.bin

you will get a param.bin , see if you can untar it , if not , then as u said , snapdragon uses a different system for the boot image.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] raph6280:
Partition 12 is that one that matters on the N910F (Snapdragon 805), in my case that's the right partition ;)

But maybe there is another system or/and better read/write protection for the Bootloader files
[Galaxy Note 4 General] APCOtech:
May be , I wanted to help but in this case I can't , sorry :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] khalifnet:
Finally.i got my note(5 logo):D:D.thanks mr galaxynote2 for your great tuto and your help.also big thanx for APCOtech for your help and reply.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] APCOtech:
Congratulations :D

[Galaxy Note 4 General] peppeserpe:
Hi guys!!

I remember that a script to change the bootlog was already done for different model.

Look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2682626

In that case the script was going to mod this:

PARAM -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p4

Now we understood that for the sm910c is this one:

PARAM -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

The process was very easy.

Do you think the same may be done for our model in order to simplify the mod?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] :
I was playing with S3 Neo's (I9301I) aboot.mbn. Extracted the images from it using HxD. SD devices don't have param.bin so they don't have param partitions. The images are all in aboot.mbn which is bootloader. We don't want to mess up with bootloaders, or do we? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kaducomk:
I really want to make this model, if necessary I move the bootloader, you can help me?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] :
It's very risky and I don't think Odin will ever gonna let you flash the modified bootloader. And when I extracted, the logo was not as big as screen. Everything was disassembled from each other ( Galaxy SIII Neo logo, powered by text and Android text). But everything goes right, I think you'll be the first one who was successful.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kaducomk:
I will try, how do I extract bootloader?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] :
You shouldn't do that. If anything goes wrong, your device will blow up like a nuclear power plant. (Just kidding, you will probably get a hard bricked device). You can google: extract images from hex . By the way, all responsibility is yours.
