Hi everyone, I have had my tilt for awhile now and I would like to up-date the phone. Am new to all this, so please excuse my ignorance. Is it possible to remove all the AT&T stuff and install something ells? I saw a guy with the same phone and he had his set-up like the I-phone is that possible, if someone could help with this that would be very cool Thanks so much.
Yes, its possible. Its called rom flashing, download what I have at the bottom then see one of the guides to do it. Select the rom you like then flash it to your phone. (Flashing means it puts the OS again and some other files or the same files)
how about start reading some of the stickies???

As close as you could get, before you start wearing black turtle neck sweaters and saying BOOM!
I created a GTX boot splash and decided to share it in the ✰✰✰✰ Everything GTX ✰✰✰✰ thread. Since it was made for the HD2 I thought I would reference it here. The direct post is HERE
I will take any requests for boot splash screens GTX style or not if you upload a 480 x 800 image for me I will create the NBH.
take it theres nobody interested in a custom boot splash screen?
I'm fine thanks, but on a completely unrelated question... What was ****e about the k750i? I kinda loved Sony Ericssons back then, and I used that phone a lot. On days when my HD2 annoys me, I sometimes think back to it

It was ok at first like most SEs but then the problems. The d-pad stick became really un responsive, I had to really mash it to get it to select a word while texting. One day the keypad seemed to completely 're-wire' itself as in my phone crashed one day and when I went to type in my PIN code random things like 1 went to the right and 6 deleted backwords in other words it ended up blocking my SIM card. Then after I got my PUK code started working again. Then few weeks later it died completely. Im not having SEs ever again. My wife had a w810i that randomly died. When I learnt about flashing etc I managed t fix her c902 when it randomly lost its entire file structure. Have had t do the same to a friends c902 and again for someones c905. I find they just seem to destroy themselves in general SEs.
By far the best phone (or at least my fondest memories) are of the Nokia 7610. Amazing phone and it had multi tasking which i really missed with the SE. Rant over
Haha thanks for the reply, wow that sounds like a bad build of phone. I found mine (I went through about four of that generation) got battered after about a year but generally held up, and I lovd their music players and cameras, although not much else However they were still my favourite type of phones until the HD/HD2 came out - I'm still not a giant fan of typing on touchscreens, although I think that's down to the HD2's particularly awful out-of-the-box texting client. (I can't stand iPhones, but if I touch one I always open the keyboard and find I can rattle along with no problems)

I'm not the worlds best with a graphics editor but i will try. i was mainly just going to convert existing images into nbh's. However what are you after? the same as the one i have done without the GTX logo? what colours do you want background and text. if you have an image already post it here and i can convert it.
I dont know why this isnt working. I have taken my previous working customer boot image and simply changed the png images
I made sure the zip is not compressed but all I get is blank white screen and once in a while one of the images
Any help would be appreciated
All the images can be viewed here

Ive tried variations of the number of png files which shouldn't matter and same thing.
this is my 4th attempt at making a boot screen and cant figure out why this one aint working
Here are my other boot screens

Willing to pay 10$ via PayPal for someone to make this work. I don't want the boot to loop please
Many people have pm me for this but none still working. 15$ via paypal if you get this to work
Can anyone get this to work? Free money here for a few min of your time.
BTW if you are trying to make this work please make sure the animation isnt looping. Also please test it yourself also prior to PMing me.
Had some people send me many files asking if it works but they never tested it themselves first
Also I would like to know how you got it to work so I can learn what I did wrong
Just a bit of advice... you might want to post the ROM you're using. Some of the people who sent files may have very well tested it and it worked fine for them, but could have been on a different ROM. I know the Desire ROMS are a bit different than AOSP-based ones, so it's hard to say.

i resized all images to 480x800 as thats the size you had in your desc.txt. size went up a lot, but it works on cm6.1.

What is the location of the Nexus S Boot image? i.e. On startup the picture with all black that says "Google" on it.
Looking for the location of this image.
Also if anyone knows the method of going about changing it.
All help is appreciated thank you.
I don't believe it's on the /system partition; I looked for it extensively a couple of weeks ago. I'm pretty sure it's in the kernel boot image.
I don't have the skills yet to extract stuff from the bootloader. If you do, that's where you should be looking.
Thank's for the reply. I feared it might be that way. hmmm. Looks like I need to learn a thing or two If I want a custom image
there was another topic about this
and in the SNS it is not a series of PNG images as in the other
AOS phones, instead it's a video clip

He's not talking about the startup animation that you see on a normal boot.
He's talking about the very first bootup screen you see when you turn the phone on; the one that is just the word Google on a black background. This one shows no matter what you're booting into. It's not part of the animation you're referring to. I've opened that and checked, and I posted it in the other thread where a guy was asking for the boot animation, but was actually looking for the Google word one.

Correct. I have a personal picture I made on my G1 a while back that I wanted to make for my Nexus S, but at the moment, the Team Whiskey splash screen is on it, and I don't much care for it. So I'm looking for a way to change that. The splash image came with the 1.4GHz kernal.
uhhhhhhhh... i'll be interested in the location of that too
to upload my own pic
so distortedloop , mind sharing the location?
i'd like to play around with that too
Had I more knowledge on the subject of building kernels, i'd be more then willing to tackle it, but alas, I have no knowledge on the subject.
Wonder how difficult it is to grasp...I'd like to try building my own kernel.

I don't know where in the boot image it is, but I'm 99% certain it's not in the regular ROM space we can get with a file explorer. I asked the famous supercurio what he thought, and he said he's never looked for it but agrees it's probably in the bootloader. He said he'll try to remember to check it out if he remembers.
@SpartusTana - if Team Whiskey's replaced it, they must know the location! Maybe ask them for the location, and/or a rip of it for the guy who's looking for it to port to another phone (in another thread here).
That's a healthy idea. I'll try hoping over to their IRC to see if anyone has the knowledge of it.
Any idea on the guy's name who is working on the port? I'd much like to get in touch with him.
Also, it looks like they're doing this on HTC devices via fastboot.
Personally, I wouldn't muck with it on my phone, but the really intrepid might be willing to read the tutorial here and try it out on our Nexus S...
edit: actually probably won't work, they're mentioning using an "engineering bootloader"...
that's for the info
well, in the worse case scenario, we just need to re-flash the ROM in CW

If you mess up your bootloader, you might not be able to get into CW, right? That's my fear.
Yah it doesn't appear as though it will work but thank you for looking into it.
@distortedloop You're correct on that. There's no real seperate button combination to bypass the bootloader to get into the recovery. So if the bootloader got screwed up...you'd screw yourself right back. I am wholy against messing with the bootloader haha.
sorry for requesting in this old thread. but is there any progress on this? really want to change that splash...
It is possible I have done it with the second stage Bootloader... The first stage is still google with the unlock.
If you speak Japanese This may be of some help to you.

I can't say when it happed. Evidently, it has been on my phone for a long time. I can remember seeing some of this funny crap months ago when I first rooted my phone. One of the mods here has a surfaceflinger hack that will take over your entire system. Your accounts will get hacked. First it was my Google drive. There was a zip file in there that I did not place. It said it was a Metro PCS Note5 zip. It was shared to my drive by someone else, and I could not remove it. So any time I did a factory reset and logged into my Google account, it would be loaded onto my phone. I finally got that cleaned up, but they had moved to my OneDrive storage with the same thing under a different file name. This hack is so smooth, that your phone won't even hesitate. It is disguised as Android OS, but if you check the battery stats, it says surfaceflinger. It is located in your data partition. It is a add on script, and it will eventually infect about 20 more apps with add on scripts. It will load up tons of /data/data along with a recovery from boot script, and..... I just discovered a little too late that there is a script that will destroy your device if you remove it the wrong way. I think the name of it is sec_device_destroy but I can't be sure. I saw the code in a system log file, but I do not know what it is yet. I am 100% positive that some of you have the same problem, you just don't know it. I'm gonna start taking apart every singe file in the development threads until I find it. As for now.... My device is stuck in a infinite bootloop. It won't recover from ODIN, and I have a new LED llight that is white. I can answer any questions and provide screenshots, and system logs if anyone wants to help uncover this beast. It is super legit. Best Android hack I've ever seen. It does every thing. Who is gonna help me locate this b.s? My Note 5 is useless now. Somebody here has it, I assure you, and when you discover it, you should ask for help. If you don't remove every bit of it, the device will not boot again. I'm gonna keep playing with mine, but I'm pretty sure it is toast. ( EDIT---> I was able to get to boot again by flashing TWRP and using the wipe option to repair each partition. I had to change them to exFAT then back to EXT4 to get them to mount.)
Sounds like my boot loop of death. Where everything was Odin flashed and still wouldnt load. Quick question when you were on Odin did you select the band erase all option? And do you still have acesss to recovery? Was all this weird stuff going on when you firmware was load? Did anything strange happen while in recovery? And why didn't u send it back to sprint)
---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------
If I was in your shoes I would select the band erase all and repartition option. Re download stock firmware from sammobile, go back to Odin to root and add twrp, select the erase button again to flash moar ROM and see what happens. If it's a hack like u said then I'd use my insurance
The potential for having your personal security and financial disaster that something like this could cause is why i stopped rooting.
Rumning other none store apps is like letting a guy you dont know come over and say "hey, i have these cool mods i can do to your car's brakes! I take out a few parts, replace others with parts I made in my garage, and load my own software into your anti-lock brake system".

You can't blame no one if your phone gets fried or blown up, you take the risk at your own discretion . No one force you to flash anything. To avoid any problems don't flash anything your not sure what's going to happen. If i see someone post a s7 edge port, I'm not gonna flash it until i get some good feedback or take one for the team and hope it don't destroy my phone. Goodluck fixing your phone don't seem like it's too hard to fix depending your experience . I would help but it's too time consuming helping fix a phone i can't even see or test out.

I'm really sorry that this happened to you. But @bonebeatz1234 is right. There is a disclaimer at the beginning of every rom, feature add-on, theme, kernel, etc. The whole point of Q&A & replys are so you can find out if something is "okay" to flash. There are so many known developers that have built stuff for so many devices. Its rare to find something on XDA that is "unsafe." I can't even remember ever finding anything that is "unsafe" or nearly as bad as you are describing. Especially for the Sprint Note 5. I'm assuming you have a SM-N920P do to the fact that you're posting it here. There have only been a few roms for this device & maybe a couple handfuls of add-ons. The one or two things I've seen that have caused problems with this device, they were removed with-in a few hours. You weren't very clear on where you got this hack at all. Are you saying it was something you downloaded from one of the Sprint Galaxy Note 5 threads? You are a Senior Member. So, I'm assuming you know what you are talking about. I believe that it is very possible you did get it from some place on here. But, in order for me to believe that, I have to also believe that it is just as possible that it could have came form anywhere else on the web via public WiFi connection, email, file download, text message, USB connection or at least 100 other ways. @DAvid_B made a point about the risk of rooting your device. Although the risk can go up for threats. The same rules apply for rooted device as they do for non-rooted devices. BE CAREFUL! Use software to protect yourself, read reviews, don't be the guinea pig. If you are like me & are addicted to putting yourself at some (if even the smallest) amount of risk, HAVE INSURANCE! Most if not all people have to agree that it's worth the $11 a months & $200 deductible to have as much fun as we all do. Its a hobby. People spend more money on model airplanes, playing golf & hunting. I haven't had to file a claim in over 6 years. I say all that to say this... Anyone that see's this thread & decides its too much of a risk to root, I promise you, IT ISN'T! The advantages out way the risk by about a 1000! The members of XDA are here to help with any issues you may have. There are VERY FEW things that are UNFIX-ABLE! And when I say "very few" I mean little to non! When I say little to non, I mean NONE! AT ALL! Even the problem he described IS FIXABLE! Like he stated, ask for help. @Sleepycloud, I pray you get this resolved. Even if you have to Odin back to stock & backup/wipe your Google Drive & OneDrive account, I know you can fix this. Please don't think that I meant any disrespect for posting this. I just want people to know this is extremely rare & only a one in a million chance it could happen.

I'm not mad. Lol Not at all. I am a true geek to the heart. This is fun stuff to me. You learn more when you are challenged beyond your current skillset. I'm just putting everybody up to the fact that there is something malicious here in the threads. I have a strong feeling of where it came from. I already to apart the "Stock" .tar and found 3 extra files in it. A param.bin file, a carrier .img and a PIT file. I am one hundred percent sure that when I take that PIT file apart later that I will be able to confirm my suspicions. According to the thread here by @tdunham in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...sprint-galaxy-note-5-sm-n920p-partition-There are 19 partitions. I believe that I have 24 or 25. I'll have to get back with y'all on this one. Can anybody confirm that this partition table is still viable for Marshmallow? I'll post screenshots in about an hour or two for everyone to examine. I would love some help on this. I have never removed partitions before and my knowledge on how to go about it is limited. I'm reading, but most of it is unrelated garbage. If anyone has a link that will help me educate myself and remove these partitions, I would be super thankful.

That is pretty awesome of you bro. I am pretty sure I have correctly identified the problem. I have 4 or 5 extra partitions. This is why it keeps coming back, and that is why ODIN and Smart Swithc does not fix it. They are only going to see the 19 partitions they are supposed to see and they will not even look anywhere else. I bought a root partition app on Google Play for $9.99 and that is how I saw the extra partitions. This has been on my phone for a long time. A very long time. Like 6 months, but I never knew it. I can remember seeing about 5 USB folders that I could not open. They are labeled as external usb storage. I'll post screen shots later. So now that I know what the problem is, I see a bright side coming soon. lol

Some times when a Samsung device gets bricked you need whats called a PIT that can reflash the partitions. It's on here somewhere or I have one.

I have one. It doesnt work because a PIT file will only reset the factory image partitions. When there are additional partitions, it does not touch them. I have one extended partition after boot. Everything gets rearranged under /sys/dev/block/8:0 have you ever heard of that? Me neither. Lol I need to disect this and remove the script after a fresh flash before the first boot. Something tells me that it would be easier to deal with then. Ill post some pics from my computer here in a bit. I dont have the option on my phone

I've seen some pretty crazy partition set ups the HTC Desire for instance has over 20 partitions and all of them have close to 200MB of free space on them that you can't even use! Talk about a waste of space lol.. But /sys/dev/block/8:0?!?! The fuuu... What kind of partition is that?!
Damn, your phones using almost all the ram/memory that you have.. Are you running a lot of apps or something else that's memory intensive?
So now the million dollar question is..... What is it gonna take to remove this b.s. from my phone. Removing the folders does not work. They get reinstalled upon every boot. I need to find the script(s) and where they are hidden, and delete them, then remove the partitions form the logical folder. I am tempted to just wipe the logical partition it its entirety then create a whole new partition table based on my unrooted Note 5. However, I am going to wait until I get some solid feedback from one of y'all. Who has an idea of what I need to do here. Repartitioning with a PIT file does not work. IT does not touch these extra partitions. I think they are labeled, sdb, sdc, and sdd.
I'm just gonna go ahead and let the world know who the piece of crap is. Here... go take a look for yourself. Download the "stock" tar and extract it, then extract the .tar itself. You'll find the extra files there. It contains a param.bin file, a carrier.img, and a modified PIT file that will give you the crap on my phone. If I could be my hands on this dude, I would choke him until he was purple. This has been a major pain in my ass for over 3 months now. My accounts were hacked, all of them, files were deleted, and I had no privacy what so ever. Here...

Deleting them is not going to work no matter which way you remove them they'll come right back after a reboot and the only way to stop that from happening is to flash a custom kernel/boot that's got write protection off. If you don't have that they just keep coming back no matter what.. All the apps are usually always in these 2 places /system/apps and /system/priv-apps

I hava already tried that. These are add on scripts. They work on any kernel. I have to delete the partions themselves but I'm not exactly sure which ones or how to do it without bricking my phone. I'm gonna move slow on this one until I am sure that II have the right solution. I'm certain it is the sda, sdb, sdc, and sdd partitions that need to be deleted. First I need to know if this partition table is still valid for Marshmallow. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/sprint-galaxy-note-5-sm-n920p-partition-t3190326 Once I know that, I can proceed. Is this PIT still the same in marshmallow?

Yeah that PIT is fine but if I were you I'd try to flash a different kernel because I had the same problems with apps returning after a reboot and the only way to stop that from happening again was to flash the custom kernel. That stopped them from coming back. <----This was on an HTC device so maybe Samsung is different?
This b.s. has my ADB disabled somehow. Even when I open the IOT Menu and switch from MTP to MTP+ADB it still does not work. It does work upon a fresh flash if I let the stock recovery update the system image then immediately go back into download mode before it boots up. After that, I have no ADB capabilities. Would that be a build.prop issue?
So was my advice useless oo?

No. It was pretty good, but I already have a good Note 5. I'm trying to learn more about Android bro. I wanna fix this one, not replace it. Give me some more solid ideas!!! I'm open to suggestion. Thank you.
