anywho, i can obviously change the words from "Jerms's Evo 4G" to whatever you'd like.. just post on the thread with what you want and i can either put the rgb565 file on mediafire or email it to you...
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL NEED TO FASTBOOT FLASH THIS IN THE BOOTLOADER AND IF YOU GOOF SOMETHING UP, IT ISN'T ON ME! ALSO THIS IS NOT REVERSIBLE UNLESS YOU LOOK AROUND AND FIND THE STOCK SPLASH RGB565 FILE AND FASTBOOT FLASH THAT OVER THIS OR RUN AN RUU FROM YOUR COMPUTER! THIS IS NOT TO BE DONE IN RECOVERY! THE ZIP YOU GET HAS THE RGB565 FILE AND YOU NEED TO EXTRACT IT AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FARTHER DOWN IN THE POST
*** youll need to have your hboot S-OFF / full nand unlock ***
to do it all easy and breezy...
1) make sure you have the android sdks installed
2) run cmd.exe (im on xp thats how i do it... so what of it yo? ) or your terminal or whatever it is thats on a god-forsaken mac
3) cd to your tools folder or wherever your adb and fastboot and stuff are
4) toss the evosplash1.rgb565 file i give you from the zip into said folder
5) plug in your phone to the comp and turn on USB Debugging if you dont have it on... and now choose a, b, or c...
a) if you have a reboot menu mod just hold power and go to Reboot then Bootloader then OK
b) type in "adb reboot bootloader" into your command window
c) simply power off or battery pull (if you choose to?) and then hold Vol DOWN and power and wait til the screen turns on with the skating androids then let go and wait for its to say no PCIMG whatever found (as long as you don't have one on your sdcard, and if you do... get rid of it!) and Vol Down once to FASTBOOT and push power
6) now then you'll see some red text that will say FASTBOOT USB after a second on the screen and now comes the fun part
7) go to your command window and type:
fastboot devices
(if you want to verify you have a connection, itll says some random serial number)
or just skip that and type:
fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565
8) hit enter
9) youll see some text on the screen saying
sending 'splash1' (750KB) ... OKAY [time it took in seconds]
writing 'splash1' ... OKAY [time it took in seconds]
finished. total time [whatever whatever seconds]
10) itll kick you back to your tools folder
AND PRESTO! there ya go... Vol down to the reboot on your phone in the bootloader menu and when it does its thing and BZZT! there it is in all of its ridiculous glory
ANOTHER WARNING! I HAVE NEVER MADE A TYPO WHEN DOING THIS FLASH SO I CAN'T VOUCH FOR WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU MISTYPE ANYTHING... ALWAYS DOUBLE OR TRIPLE CHECK YOUR WORK!
i flashed it like 4 times total after i made a shoop that i was content with for the moment then was like "ohh better idea" so yeh, the instructions above are foolproof if you don't fudge up

Can u make a pc360.zip. I think is easiern.. Cuz I don't have a computer anymore ..

well i followed the instructions by stoney and made the pc36img zip
http://www.mediafire.com/?zh2hjbl5ipb1fer
i made it say HTC Evo 4g instead of Jerms's with same font style
i didn't test this on my device so your gonna be playing with fire by flashing it in bootloader but i did exactly as instructions said, changing the evosplash1.rgb565 to splash1.img and kept the android-text.info as is... so if you want to try it go for it but if something borks then, im sowwie but you could be sol and jwf...
enjoy

I use 7zip to rename cuz it wouldn't convert when I would rename it on a right click. You know it is right when the rgb file turns into a disc image after renaming it. If it doesn't convert then I would deffinetly use 7zip.

i havent tried 7-zip but that is one hell of a magical headache saving tool in the world of android development i do, however, have my explorer prefs set to show file extensions, so if i have "brown_noise.wav" in a folder and i right click > rename > and change it to "zomg.mp3" it'll ask if im sure i want to change the extension and i agree.. then right click > properties.. it changes the file type accordingly... which is what i did for the rgb565 to img conversion within that pc36img zip in the above post... so here's hoping eh? haha

[GUIDE] Changing bootanimation.zip on T-Mo Sensation w/S-OFF and root

I saw a thread in general, answered it, and figured this is a better place for this sort of thing. This only applies to the T-Mobile branded Sensation, but might help others as well.
1. Open up Root Explorer and navigate to where you put the bootanimation.zip you want to use.
2. Copy it from there then go to /system/customize/resource.
3. In Root Explorer, then make sure to click the "Mount R/W" button.
4. Paste it there.
5. Find the file "TMOUS_bootanimation.zip" and rename it to "TMOUS_bootanimation.zip.bak" or something of the like.
6. Rename the file you pasted to "TMOUS_bootanimation.zip" and reboot.
There you have it! I've tested it and it works for those of you that managed to get S-OFF and perm root working.
I also wanted to note that my personal experience with this did NOT require changing any file permissions. Your mileage may vary.
I've added the boot animation that was in the leaked video from AlphaRevX to get you started:
View attachment bootanimation.zip

Do you know of any boot animations for the qHD display? That might be a great thing to add to your post.

You need to change permissions otherwise you will get blank screen.

i keep getting a blank screen were or how do you change permissions ?

in root explorer hold your finger on the file till the menu pops up. Tap on "permissions"
Owner: read & write checked, execute unchecked
Group: read checked, rest unchecked
Others: read checked, rest unchecked
all special permissions unchecked

yes i did im guessing im doing something wrong i will try it with another one and see if it works , what resolution should i use if i only use a pic how do we make our own boots animations ?

It's your zip file. To make it work just pull the oem one and remove the files from within using winrar and insert yours same way. That will fix it. I know it's the compression of the zip file but can't remember how to compress it. Search the forum for boot animation compression or google it.

Thanks! I made it my boot down and boot up animation LOL

since a lot of you guys are having problems making bootanimations ...
1. the zip file must not have any compression
You can do this with 7zip. Right click the files, 7zip -> add to archive -> for "compression level" select "store"
2. you should sign the zip
not sure if this is necessary although I simply sign everything that goes into my system folders. You can use ZipSigner from the market. (For "key/mode" select "platform")
3. rename the extension of the current bootanimation to .bak or just skip this if you never want to use it anymore
4. copy the signed file to system/customize/resource with root explorer
5. in root explorer hold your finger on the file till the menu pops up. Tap on "permissions"
Owner: read & write checked, execute unchecked
Group: read checked, rest unchecked
Others: read checked, rest unchecked
6. restart and you're done!
I attached an animated dark blue qHD HTC quietly brilliant bootanimation that I made for good measure.

is it a video that u brake down in to frames or is it pics that you take i have no idea how to start i can do the last part no problem but how or were to start would b a great help thx ...

oh well why not..
1. create a folder called "android" and place the frames of your animation in PNG format in that folder.
2. name them as follows:
NAME_01.png
NAME_02.png
...
NAME_xx.png
3. create a text file called "desc.txt" containing for example:
540 960 15
p 1 1 android
explanation of the desc file:
Width Height Frame-rate
p Loop Pause Folder
first line: width height frames-rate
second line: p just stands for play. the first number says how often to loop the animation. The second number says for how long to pause the animation after every loop. the string is the name of the folder we created above.
So now you have the desc.txt and a folder with your png files - compress them as uncompressed zip file. Continue as described in my previous post.

wouldnt it be easier to just adb push it to that directory?

1- Like always enable your Debugging. you can enable that by going to your Settings -> Application -> Development
2- Install the android SDK . you can download it Android SDK
3- Extract the SDK to any folder, Example : C:\Android
4- Make sure you have the drivers installed- In that way your OS can talk to your phone!
now that everything is installed we can go ahead and perform a command :
1. Open the 'run' dialog by pressing the 'Windows' + 'r' buttons on your keyboard (minimize the browser & other non-windows programs) 2. cmd (this will open a DOS prompt) 3. cd c:\Android\tools (go to the directory where you extracted the SDK) 4. adb shell 5. Now you'll see just a '$' 6. logcat
You can now just press the power button on your phone to see what happens. It displays everything the device is doing.
So the thing is: leave your device connected for a while and see what is actually going on when you're not using it. Boom

Extract to c: for sure it makes it so much easier, once in the location of platform tools (use the address bar for quick copy and paste) copy and paste its location without the c: on the front. Then open CMD, type cd for change directory them paste the location of adb platform tools. Press enter. It should say Android sdk windows something or another lol. Now you can type "adb devices" and hit enter. It will then find you're device. When you have gotten to the point of a problem then type adb logcat and it will spit forth information that is somewhat beyond me but our dev will do fine with it. Right click and select all then then copy and paste into a note pad. Send the note pad to our dev.

All though I have read some that have done this with no avail. Someone stated that internal sd partitioning or wipe would be required that made me nervous. I can always drop it in the toilet though wink wink! At any rate I'm sleppy see you guys tomorrow!

i was on alien....had the super force close issue twice. wiped date 3 times...then returned to stock and updated to the 2.3.6 via silvers zip. and have no issues till i tried the 14 panel toggle and forgot to paste the systemui in before i deleted it...but thats my bad.
i have not seen anything that was permanent yet.
i hope yall get it worked out, i would hate to think that a rom can cause damage that can not be reversed.

dagnabit.. lol my phone just rebooted and had a million force closes. i restored my nandroid backup earlier and have been runing the 2.3.6 ota from att for several hours and it just randomly did that and i can even use it every time i reboot just get lockup and force closes. tried to restore nandroid and cwm says cant mount sd card. so weird i think it might have something to do with the ota. im about to odin stock

I'm sure that it is not irreverseable. Downloading stock.tar will Report back

How to root the S7 EDGE

Caution when modifying your phone, although you can revert 99% of issues you may come across, be cautious.
I take no credit other than compiling info and making a guide. All credit goes to http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4911585 (br3w3r, Chainfire and Princecomsy)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/g935a-root-t3410403
Well, root has been achieved on all of the variants. All the information is spread, therefore I will compile it.
It is confirmed working for the G935T/A/ (All firmwares so far) can anyone verify it works for Verizon?

MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR PHONE, YOU MAY NEED TO FACTORY RESET AFTER FLASHING THE ENGBOOT FILE. ( MAY BE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DISABLED SYSTEM APPS)
1- Put your device in to download mode ( Power off--- Hold Down arrow + Home + Power button)
2-Open the provided ODIN and where it says "AP" select and open the file "Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR" -- FLASH it--
3- The phone should now reboot
Installing SuperSU
easiest way to put it for flashing su.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLvRuzQMPLk
1- make sure you have the adb toolkit installed( place it in the root of the "C:/" drive. Mine is "C:/adb"
2- place the superuser folder you downloaded in to c:/adb and rename it "super" to make things easier
3- open the command prompt. Either search for it or press windows key + r and type in "cmd"
4- once cmd is open, navigate to the "super" folder. To do so type cd c:/ , then type cd adb and finally type cd super
5- type in root.bat
You should now be rooted.
To remove the security warning, use a package disabler like titanium backup and disable SecurityLogAgent
NOTE
For those having lag, heat, and battery drain issues. Try doing this.
I had those issues on PD6.
What I did was, ODIN'd a factory PD8 file and rerooted, then I used KERNEL TOOLKIT and changed to the ONDEMAND Governor, next I increased the CPU(small cores / and large cores) to max FREQUENCY allowed and reduced the min core frequencies to the lowest setting. Be sure to apply settings on boot so they stick.
The phone is very fast now.
I disabled the KNOX packages and tmobile package.
It fixed 95% of my issues, im even running xposed

For anyone that needs the complete firmware from Sammobile:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935T/
I also attached the root files necessary in the zip file here.
BUT... you also need to unrar it. Stinking forum set the zip limit to 20MB for zip files but it zips to about 23MB.
Rar limit is 8MB but in a rar it was reduced to about 18. So... rar'ed it up, hid it in a zip.

Will this work on PC8? That's the one I'm on.

No guts, no glory. Try it and let us know. Root hasn't been out but for a couple of hours so it's hard to know for sure. Make a backup with Smart Switch and try it out! My guess is that you shouldn't have any issue.
If anyone has disabled any of their apps, make sure you re-enable them.
If you get stuck at the white T-Mobile screen for longer than 5 minutes then reboot back to stock recovery and factory reset. Sucks... but some of us had to do it. Afterwards, it should boot fine.
By the way... HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!

Switch your Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 edge completely.
Boot into Galaxy S7 recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power keys at the same time.
Release all three buttons when Samsung Galaxy S7 screen flickers and you see a warning sign.
Press Volume Up to continue to the main screen of Recovery mode. Or, press Volume Down if you aren’t sure and want to go back to the normal mode.
That’s just about it!

Yes, specifically the root.bat is Windows based, but you could read the .bat and figure out how to do it in linux. Either way, yes.
Worked flawlessly with the guide. Thanks for compiling it
Edit/Update:
I am getting the same lag that others have reported previously. One thing I'm seeing that stands out in logcat is Secure Storage Daemon throwing warnings and then an error "Kernal binary has been changed. Please use the same version of platform/kernel binaries"

If you follow the guide, you'll have everything you need and there wouldn't be any questions needed.
I guess more specific to ask, where are you getting hung up?
On a windows machine:
Download all the files listed and get them installed
Follow the instructions (boot phone into download mode, put adb folder into c:\, rename the SuperSU folder from the zip archive to "super" for easy access, execute the cd's and then execute root.bat)

It's in the guide.
Please just read the guide and understand it before you move forward. Ask what you don't understand from the guide so that the writer could make it more clear if it's needed. But what you just asked is literally written clearly with what to do.

Broken Display, Unlock Screen, Cant touch - How to save my files - pls help

Hey dudes, this forum helped me to revive my phone 3 years ago.
Now my display is broken, i can see the half of my unlock screen (its inverted and it looks very strange) but i cant touch anything. My debugging is on but i cant save my files because i have to unlock the screen by a simple gesture pattern. Also the phone has the unlock icon in the bootscreen. (Long time ago since i done that and dont know what it means now)
If you know anything what i can do to save my files please let me know step by step! Im not a fixing pro
The easiest way i think is to unlock my screen and save my files on my computer but how i can do this now?
i hope for your help
sorry for my bad english i try my best :X:crying:
EDIT: Problem Solved! Fastboot via adb to TWRP - shows my storage and i could copy all my files! thanks to jd1639 for his perfect support!

You probably can use the command adb pull from recovery. But you'll need to know the specific file name, including extension, and the folder it's located on your device. I don't think you can use wildcards so you'd have to do it for each file. I've tried it and it's a real pain so haven't even tried for a long time. Google adb pull.

You can adb pull the userdata partition, but you need enough storage on your pc to do it. If you are unlocked do you have twrp? Twrp would give access to mtp.

Could you let me know how you pull the userdata partition. I didn't know you could do that. I also thought of using twrp but since he has a broken screen and a pattern lock I didn't think he could get into twrp.

Never mind. I forgot about the dd command. But does that dump individual files?

adb pull <path-of-the-file> . It works. There is also adb backup. TWRP should not need the touch screen. Never needed that when I ran my nexus 5.

Twrp is a replacement recovery to the stock. Boot into the bootloader and then use the vol keys to get to recovery. If you have twrp it'll boot into that. I just pulled out my N5 and twrp is not password protected. From twrp you'll be able to pull files off with file manager on your PC. If you have the stock recovery you won't be able to pull files with a file manager.
If you don't have twrp installed all is not lost. From the bootloader you can boot into twrp using fastboot, fastboot boot twrp.img. Where twrp.img is the full name of the twrp image file you download to your pc.

If it looks like a dead Android then yes. But if your bootloader is unlocked, it sounds it is, then you can still boot into twrp with fastboot
Edit, yeah, that's the stock recovery.

Do you have fastboot on your pc. If not Google 15 sec adb xda. There a tool by snoop05 which will install it. Also, Google teamwin Nexus 5. You'll find the twrp image there. Download that to a folder of your choice.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------
Once you have all that go to the folder where twrp is. Rename the file to twrp for simplicity. Then in that folder shift + right click your mouse on an open area. It should give an option to open a power shell there, win10 if you have something other than win10 it should give you an option for a command prompt.
Then boot your phone into the bootloader. Attach it to your pc with the USB. Then in the power shell window type the command "fastboot boot twrp.img", without the "'s. Your phone should boot into twrp. From there you should be able to get at your files from Windows explorer on your PC.

Adb is different but if you have that you probably have fastboot too. The twrp apk is not what you want. You need the image file.
