Hey all now where can I find the image for the static screen when we root or phone for the Sprint version. I am tired of seeing the warning sign so I want to change that pic and add my own company logo. Any ideas where I can find it and replace the static picture? Thanks in advance.
I dont think you can get rid of the This phone is corrupt message :/ Google built it in. The static can be removed if the kernel has a fix for it. The static isnt an image... Its the screen not being displayed right by the bootloader I believe. Ive learned to live with the corrupt message. But if others see it, it might raise eyebrows lol
Static is caused by boot loader being changed and causing a error using a non debug kernel.
Warning logo - effects of having wrong boot loader on phone.. requires backwards development of a Aboot, that has no public source and is very sensitive, expecially on our device where there is no KDZ or TOT avalible to un-brick your device. Id strongly reccomend against messing with your aboot. but the picture name is red.img and is located in the aboot.
The only known way to remove it would be replacing the file with a black img that was reneamed red.img and replace the other one so it just shows a black screen etc.. But again your risking a HARD brick pushing anything to your device.

so i know this will confuse many but i need to do a factory reset before sending my phone in to htc for repairs. the problem is that i was unlucky i tripped and fell with my phone in my pocket (screen facing leg) there is superficial damage to the camera cover on the back plate and somehow the screen managed to get cracked on the inside destroying all pixels leaving me with a black screen. however the top glass is unscratched and the digitizer works perfectly fine. so i can use my phone however it is blindly. i have heard of this happening to many other people but i dont know what stance htc is taking on coverage of this flaw. my phone is rooted but i have heard of people still getting warranty coverage on hardware faults. so what i need is screen shots of the main screen with with the options button pressed. then i need a screen shot of the settings menu so i can see the factory reset option then i need a screen shot of the dialog it gives
eg i need screenshot of all of the steps neccessary to do a factory reset plz and thank you all
Just so you know doing a factory reset wont unroot your phone if thats what youre attempting, also if youve flashed another rom I dont think this will work at all. If you still want them though I can do it. Hope they'll fix it for you but I doubt it, dropping the phone or falling with it isnt really a hardware flaw.
well it will unroot it. but i know that it wont relock the bootloader its just that they may accept the policy even if its unlocked if nothing has been loaded on to it at least thats was one persons experience.
and i may be able to get it covered even though the damage was from a fall. i had the phone in its protector in my pocket with the screen facing my leg and it still managed to mess up the screen. that should not have happened.
but yes please the screenshots would be appreciated if there is any chance i can get the phone fixed under warranty i want to try it
What you need to do is flash the stock images to unroot, simply doing a factory reset of a custom rom will not unroot it...
This should be a lot easier, too, since you can fastboot flash the stock images.
I know modaco has all the 100% stock images on his site in ready to flash via fastboot format. Not sure if the link is still on here for them, though.
well now that you say that i can just go download the new firmware cuz itll flash over the root rom i dont know why i didnt think of that guess im just tired lately
edit: just realized ill still need screen caps for the bootloader because i cant see what im doing T_T
Flashing via fastboot is done completely in the cmd screen... no on screen prompts from the phone. All you have to do is boot into fast boot by holding down the trackball while powering on. That puts you in fastboot, then just plug in the USB, open your cmd window from the folder you have fastboot files in, make sure you have the ROM img's in that folder as well, then type in the fastboot commands.
god i hate command line... especially adk but i guess i can do it that way

What phone are you going to be using? All your contacts are backed up to your gmail account, and you can download them in different formats to put them on a sd card and load onto your other phone...
If it is a dumb phone, then yeah you need to copy to your SIM, but we need to know what ROM you are on, and even then it would be pretty hard since your contacts app is going to be in one of many places in the app drawer.
im just on the cyanogen with the root addon its no change to the os at all
edit: i think its called superboot
Do you have the SDK installed on your computer? You could you ddms to take screenshots of your phone and navigate that way.

Hi. I have e15i witch is dead its starts to the moment when screen lights up for 3s then lights go little lower for 4sec and reboots over and over again. when i start it in flash mode by plugging to the computer with "Back button" it is detected and i can flash it, witch i did to the newest available version but nothing changed still reboots. Is it possible that the bootloader is broken and cant load normal kernel and works properly in flash mode only ?, is there a possibility to reflash bootloader please help.
I'm suspecting that the screen is broken because there is no SE logo at any moment.
some questions that answering would help me very much:
is it possible to boot the phone without the screen? if not that would explain the problems
from where in process of booting the SE logo is generated
-semcboot?
-the loader.sin that loads kernel?
-kernel it self

The semcboot is the very low-level initialization stuff; you actually shouldn't have access to the semcboot area - only the boot loader unlock tool is able to get in there.
The loader.sin is the boot loader (as in "the file that gets replaced upon unlocking the boot loader so you can load custom kernels) which then also kick-starts the kernel(.sin)
Once the kernel is fully loaded and initialized the framebuffer is being initialized along the way and the "boot splash" (the white Sony Ericsson logo) is being displayed while the kernel continues to boot-strap the ROM.
That's, in brief, what happens at power on.

This is a untested scenario. I know of no one who took the phone apart to disconnect the Touchscreen in the attempt to see if the phone will boot (or fail boot due to the display being disconnected therefore unable to init the framebuffer).

Well, this actually depends on what you did...
If you unlocked the boot loader to flash a custom kernel then all you need to do is to either grab the Stock Kernel FTF (loader and kernel) or the Stock baseband FTF (GSM/2G/3G Radio parts plus loader and kernel), connect it in Flash Mode and flash the Kernel or Baseband with Flashtool - and also restore to Stock ROM in case you have a custom ROM not compatible with Stock Kernel flashed.
If you never touched the boot loader it's still locked - in this case you can't flash the loader/kernel with Flashtool as you can't gain access due to the boot loader being locked. However, in this case it is also _very_ unlikely that the boot loader, or kernel, is "damaged".
thank you very much B.Jay for you reply
i don't know about the past of the phone a got it broken
but things i know is:
built date 11w01
dos not have sim lock
semcboot is not unlocked
loader R4A045
the things that you wrote about when the phone display SE logo
confirm my suspect that LCD is broken because its lights up when good working phone displays logo as i seen on some youtube video because i don't have another phone to check it out.
Il buy LCD and check it out fingers cross
You got it broken? Not good if you don't know what went wrong...
Anyway, by timing the boot process ... Once the backlight of the screen lights up the ~3s until the SONY ERICSSON logo is being displayed would be about right.
A reboot at this stage (while you actually see the logo on the screen) would mean that there was a severe problem boot-strapping the ROM (i.e. bad flash or messed up /system partition). A Flashtool restore to Stock would actually solve the problem.
As another test...
If you turn off the phone and connect it to the USB charger or a USB port of your computer ... do you actually see the short "Charging" animation?
Its charging battery but no information is displayed
when i push any button screen lights up.

If you don't see the short "Battery" animation then you can safely assume there's something wrong. The question just is ...
- Is the LCD controller dead?
- Is the Arduino GFX chip dead? (i.e. damage due to too hefty overclock)
- Is the display connection cable damaged or improperly inserted?
While you can buy the Touchscreen (LCD + Touchscreen + Frontpanel of the case as one part) it would be a somewhat costly adventure to find out that the chip is dead.
As the backlight works we can only be sure that it gets power.
Anyway, if you are adventurous - click the link in my Signature and hop into the "Service Manuals" folder. Grab the Service Manuals, have a look and maybe try to crack down on the root of the problem.
Hi.
I want to inform that my story has a happy ending
yes, only LCD screen whose broken the digitizer is good function
I've check all pins on broken screen and all whose fine no broken connection so it whose the LCD controller on glass,
and the glass it self did not look broken.
so the lesson from this is x8 will not start without LCD screen functioning properly
but I can say it will start without digitizer.
thanks for your help B.Jay.
No, thank you for working out that the X8 refuses to boot with a broken / defective LCD - that's a welcome and appreciated information.
So, I was using Zedomax's how to root N10 tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wVlI-gWppCA#at=261)... I had everything working fine up until about 4:15 in the video when his restarts mine just gets stuck in boot loop and displays the nexus bootloader for an unlimited amount of time. My device does however show that it is unlocked because when I go back through the process it says it is already unlocked as you can see in the pictures. the first is the cmd I used and the second is what the N10 shows after "fastboot oem unlock"... I am completely lost and have tried over and over to find the problem... I have tried to unroot and restore but I cant even find a working file that isnt malicious... ANY AND ALL HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED...

I can help you get back to stock, that should fix everything. You will erase everything and have to start whatever you were working on again. So back it up before hand if you can.
So first you need to be sure you have TODAYS latest updates to the fastboot.exe program, do this by installing the SDK from Google, then launching the update manager and doing all updates. See this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38961605&postcount=5
Then you need to do what styckx says. Be sure to click 'Thanks' under his posts. The only thing that you may find is hard to understand is, if you download that from Google and it end up as .tar you have to rename it to .tgz to have it extract correclty. See this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38091931&postcount=210
EDIT - If you did oem unlock and were stuck at the X bootlogo then there is an easier fix than what I describe. You state you are stuck at bootloader. Just FYI
Good luck!

yes, it is stuck at nexus symbol "X" loading screen.. you say there is an easier fix for that?

yes. that is common w/ these after oem unlock. on that fastboot screen you posted, the one you get to by holding the certain key sequence at boot - use the volume keys to select Recovery, then use the start button to boot to that mode. This confuses people because at that point it looks broken - all you see is a triangle with an error X in it (or something like that.) BUT from that screen you access another menu, do this by briefly pressing power volume up and volume down in little spurts. it sounds wierd, but you do that for up to 20 seconds and you'll finally get it. its just hard to enter so you have to do it like that otherwise you go crazy trying. once you've accessed that menu you will know because its all text. using the navigation choose 'factory wipe' and wipe it. after that your N10 will boot like normal. be aware - navigation on that text only menu is tricky.
So per the Lenovo forums and this thread
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Androi...-x50f-dec-2016-update-fail/m-p/3530569#M14960
I flashed the firmware suggested in that thread. It was from a Russian site and I was hesitant. and I did it anyhow.
Now I have a brick.
If I can get the tablet in perfect lighting I can kind of sorta make out the boot logo. If I try to boot into recovery I can't see anything. I think the only reason I can see the boot logo in some lighting is that its light colored. I can't even tell if I can boot it into recovery.
I even tried to let it boot normally by itself. I got to a bunch of start up screens and they were all in russian. I could kind of fudge my way though touching where I could make out the outline of buttons (next, continue etc - even if I couldn't read them). Alas I bet it got to set up wifi and of course I can't see enough to set that up. I was hoping to get to setting to somehow fix the resolution.
Anyone have any suggestions? I know if I can get it into recovery I can either reset to factory, or flash again.
I've had soft bricks before. So I know if I can just get to that recovery menu I'll be okay. I just have to get there.
Hello everyone, I have managed to change the boot animation (for me on a CAZ-AL10 was under /system/hwoem/AL10/media, or something like that), but the Huawei splash screen still is their before the animation. I would prefer to just have google (or anything) rather than huawei on the splash screen. There are threads for other devices that mention the splash screen is in the oeminfo partition (partition 17 for me) and some tools to extract/replace it, but without a backup of oeminfo partition (or I mean a way to replace it, because the dd command does not work for me in TWRP) I am a bit hesitant to risk trying these tools.
So, my question is, has anyone tried to change splash screen, or any ideas about how to do it? Also. it would be nice to get rid of the annoying boot image telling me the phone is unlocked and all of that info. Wont that be useful to anyone who steals an unlocked phone, they tell you right there it is open.
Edit to be more specific about boot animation location. For me it is /system/hw_oem/media
