So after a lot of Googling, I finally found a tool that does this for our unlocked Turbos. If you'd like to change your boot logo (or bootloader menu headers, or powered-off charging screen, or other things that are governed by logo.bin), this is how to do it the easy way:
1. Get this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/themes-apps/app-motorola-boot-logo-maker-source-t2848667
2. Download an existing logo.bin for your device. I used this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/themes-apps/moto-maxx-black-motorola-logo-boot-t3065141
3. Open the logo.bin you just downloaded with the tool from step 1.
4. The GUI will show you every image contained within the logo.bin that you opened. Replace whatever image(s) you want with a 24 bit bitmap that has the exact same dimensions as the image that you are replacing, and make sure the bitmap appears upside-down. Other image formats may work, but this is what I used. Note that logo_unlocked will be the image that you see when you power on the phone, not logo_boot.
5. Either save as a flashable zip and flash using TWRP, or save as a .bin file and flash using the following fastboot command: fastboot flash logo <name of .bin file>
And that's it. It doesn't get any easier.
UPDATE: It looks like the software has issues making flashable zips, so here's how to make it yourself:
1. Download this zip file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24531035584725310
2. Use the software to save your custom logo as a logo.bin file (do not give it any other name).
3. Unzip the contents of the zip file to any folder.
4. Place your logo.bin file in the same folder that you extracted everything to.
5. Re-make the extracted files (including your logo.bin) into a zip file.
6. Flash with TWRP.
I just realized that I should have posted this under Themes and Apps. If a mod sees this and agrees, please move it there.
Still an epic find - This takes modding the DT to a new level
Can someone please post a link with the existing logo(s)?
Nevermind, I guess I wont really need the "bootloader is unlocked" image.
Can't get the software to make a flashable zip. I had to make some changes to get them to flash.
Anyway here is a flashable zip for a decepticon emblem.

If you want the stock, unmodified logo.bin, just download the official SU4TL-44 factory image. You'll find it in the zip file. http://www.rootjunkysdl.com/getdown...o/Firmware/VRZ_XT1254_SU4TL-44_44_CFC.xml.zip
Can't get mine to work Every time I flash the zip it errors on me. Image is the same size, file size is good...not sure why it's erroring on me. I flashed the Decepticons zip and that works just fine.

Take the logo.bin file out of your created zip and replace the logo.bin inside my deception one. I couldn't get the software to make it either.

Did you try using fastboot to flash the .bin file? Mine flashed fine that way. I used a picture from my gallery. I had to open it with 'paint' and change the size until it was small enough for the program to save it. Its about 1/2 of my screen, but it worked.

Software issue. Not sure if it is user error or not, but mine was jacked up too.
P.S. what did you make?
I have unlocked a Droid Turbo running cm12.1 nicely.
Upon trying to fix Boot logo, I happened to mess up Fastboot Menu. Fastboot menu has changed.
seems like that logo fixing has flashed lower-resolution fastboot menu. text is very small..
Help me restore default turbo's fastboot please
Thanks

Ok, so I got it to work.
Created the logo.bin file with my images
added the logo.bin to the Logo_Flasher.zip using WinZip add to file function
Now for some reason my image is not going full screen but that's another matter.
I'll update all the .bin files to flash-able zip's later today
OK, now they are all flashable ZIPs via TWRP...

Hey guys
The volume rocker on my HD2 is broken, and I have cLK flashed on my device. My problem is that I can only boot into cLK and fastboot mode as recovery is useless to me because I cant navigate through the options using the volume rocker.
I am looking for a rom (android/winmo) that is a .img file so that I can flash through fastboot, or if any of you know any other possible way I can flash a rom through fastboot so I can get my phone working again. Right now I dont mind which rom I flash, as long as I get my phone in working order again.
All help is GREATLY appreciated....!!!
If anyone also knows how I can compile a rom into a .img file so I can flash through fastboot, that is also welcomed help!
Any ROM you download that is for cLK has a. img file in it. you will have to extract the file from the. zip hou download to find it. Read my post here it will give youthe details on how to flash your ROM.

Hey bud, thanks for the reply, but my question still remains... what about the other 2 folders in the rom folder (META-INF and SYSTEM) what happens with those? lol....

Sorry for the late response but those two files do get used, the img file oules the information from them as it is flashing. To put it simply when you initiate the flash the img does the rest of the work. The img file is sort of like a cab file for Windows Mobile only it is not all self contained and has more functions than just to install the software. Note I said sort of not exactly like, that is just a comparison to help you understand. When you flash a Android ROM via CWM it essentialy just activates the img file to flash the ROM.
Daf roms come as a system.img
or
if you have access to another hd2, flash the target rom to it and then use mkyaffs2img command in the terminal to dump the system folder to a system.img file.
Benefit of this would be you can tweak the rom(reduce size for example, by removing unwanted apps) before you dump to system.img

Thanks for getting back to me buddy! Unfortunately I dont have a second HD2, and I dont know anyone willing to help me out in Greece, lol... Would you be willing to dump your system folder for me and upload it so I can use yours?? I would GREATLY appreciate the help... sitting with my HD2 "semi" bricked... lol
Also, if I use the .img file from the DAF roms, can I flash it using fastboot??? You have any suggestions on how I can flash it considering I cant use the volume rocker on my mobile?
Well id like to say yes but it's Easter weekend and my sons 1st birthday tomorrow, so the likelihood of getting near a PC are slim for a few days.
You could always learn how to use the android emulator,, build the image on a virtual hd2
As for flashing,,, no idea, no clue what fastboot does, magldr for me, but in your OP you implied you could use it to write img files to partitions.
You ever got a solution for this? I'm in the exact same situation right now.
Hey all, long story short I need to find to the Nougat vendor.img. The link to it from the debloated ROM page appears to be down, so if anyone else has a link to the .IMG file that would be helpful. In the WETA ROM thread, the dev said you go extract it from the .zip but I have no idea where it is/how to flash it in fastboot if it's not a .IMG file. Thanks.

If the file icon looks like a page with a cd/dvd on it, that is an .img file. Or just right click and look at the properties.

In the zip, the vendor file has a .new.dat extension. Would I change that to .img and flash it in fastboot? Or would that be a mistake?
if the dev says the vendor.img file is included it should be in there, your have to dig through the compressed folder to find it, its usually named vendor.img you might have extensions hidden, or if you have a known .img file elsewhere it will likely have the same icon next to it in the file tree.
you can just extract it and rename the file with a straight ".IMG" prefix and flash that from your ADB folder or using your chosen tool

What issue were you having that you needed the vendor image, if you mind me asking?
Was your phone stuck in the splash screen loop?

I had an old version of TWRP (wasn't aware that there was one that worked with Nougat) and needed to flash an old vendor to get it to work, then a newer one to get my phone to boot. I flash the DP5 vendor and the phone booted just fine, but there was a warning message and I figured it would be better to get the updated vendor.
Kinda makes this noob sick. I just got a new Moto G4 X1625 (not Amazon). Next came the steps to unlock the bootloader with Motorola and to install TWRP. Everything had gone so easily by following some how-to steps I jumped to the next step of installing SuperSU without doing a backup – thinking it was simply adding an app. Big mistake! Reboot and now always stuck on the logo boot animation.
Okay, so I found and tried use TWRP to install ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-13.1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip in an attempt to get back to stock. No luck there since install always aborts with a "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file."
I checked a couple of other ROMs and that META-INF directory doesn't seem to be included in them either.
What do I need to do just to get back to normal eliminating the effects of that SuperSU install? Help greatly appreciated.
That file you downloaded is not a flashable file.
Instead, read this linky
Thanks for the helpful clue @t0mm13b. I followed the approach at <http://www.stechguide.com/download-stock-firmware-of-moto-g4-and-g4-plus/> and executed the listed commands from my MacOS Terminal. They did the job resulting in a fresh install after bootup.
2-1/2 questions…
1. Are flashable ROM files readily available? The ones I found all seemed missing the META-INF directory. Will they be .img files and not .zip?
2. Is TWRP not useful for these stock ROMs?

As a general rule of thumb, read the accompanying text to the link of the download, on a web page where you find one. It will tell you if it's flashable or not.
Factory images, just like what you had to carry out previously, never have, and do not have the `META-INF` directory. They usually contain img files that requires `fastboot flash`.
On the other hand, OTAs and flashable zips will have that in their respective zip file.
Thanks again @t0mm13b for the clarification. I often didn't see info about whether a ROM is flashable in link or web page text, but it may have just been assumed based on being aware of what the zip contains.
I'm trying to install Wear 2.0 Developer Preview 3 on Huawei Watch. I'm currently using Developer Preview 2, so I thought I'd be familiar with the flashing process.
Anyhow, all the tutorials I managed to find include a part with running a flash-all.bat, which for some reason isn't included in the preview image package I downloaded from https://developer.android.com/wear/...ampaign=android_discussion_wearpreview_092916 .
Where can I get the flash-all.bat?
Edit: Umm, I decided not to go with DP3 at least for now. I thought I'd return to the official stock firmware, but how do I perform the flashing? Do I manually have to edit the file names in flash-all.bat to match the file name of the stock rom's name? Does it matter that the stock rom came as a .tgz even though the files mentioned in the flash-all.bat are .img and .zip? Damn this is confusing, and googling isn't helping at all...
This page is what I'm using as a guide. Worked fine though did take a bit to get the flash-all.bat to run. All files are included in the downloads. Top download is preview image. Bottom is to go back to stock.

Hi!
I would like to create a boot animation that uses the basic J5 bootloop.
I would need you to convert the .qmg to .png and send to me. It's very simple with this app created by @xperiacle (Original thread). I would do it myself but the ROM used to convert the file must be either stock or stockish to work and I would lose so many settings, tweaks etc. by flashing stock and then back. As a reward I would of course hit the thanks button, send you the animation (if you please) and honor you as my savior for life! :angel: Also if you have an idea or reasonable preference(s) for the boot animation, I will make it happen.
Anyways here are the instructions stolen from the original thread (don't kill me xperiacle!):
"So just download the app(Qmg2Png), install, and pick an apk(Extract_this.apk) from sdcard and the app will extract the qmg resources and convert them to png format and saving them in the QMg2Png folder in the sdcard. The output folder retains the folder structure of the extracted apk."
Thank you in advance! Peace! :good:

If you want the stock boot animation then download the relevant firmware and pull it out of the system.img.
Please don't ask me to guide you how as there are plenty already out there.

It's in the .qmg format. There is no other way to extract it that I know of. Bootanimation.zip? No problem. Qmg? Pain in the ass.
Edit: just to be clear the stock rom uses an encoding/decoding method for qmg files that don't exist in custom roms nor is it used by any other than samsung phones. But anyhow it is not the end of the world for me if I don't get it extracted. Then I just focus on some other ideas for animations.

OK let me ask you this?
What is preventing yourself from making a backup of your device with twrp which literally takes minutes, install the rom you require, do what you need and then simply restore?
@ashyx You are right but I don't want to flash any rom since when I do, I get this weird issue with my screen; I am unable to turn it off and it seems to be a matter of luck to get it working again. Thank you anyways! https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/help/screen-help-t3585090
