Hello Amad3us,
Did you figure this out?
I have the PD10 Deluxe (I think) 8gb/1gb/Dual Sim 3G version with factory ROM MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V18.2012/05/29 11:49 ... The kernel is 3.0.13 and build time is 20120831.112354
I've tried a RAW file with no luck on the internal SD using recovery named boot_logo and startup.bmp. It appears there is also bitmaps available for battery and battery charging but I haven't had any luck with these either.

That wasn't too hard to figure out... Instructions are in the video description.

I am grief crying

this is your answer for the bootlogo or boot_logo
updating boot_logo for freelander or any other mtk6575 tablet with 3g dual sim, blue tooth, etc.
1: make your image 600 x 1024 on bmp
2. name the file boot_logo.bmp
3.Then in windows property, change the image name for boot_logo.bin
4. once it is that way, just open properties again on windows and take out the .bin
5. put it on the external sd card.
6. Go and reboot on recovery and click the update logo from internal or external storage.
7. reboot and Voila!!! you would have done it!!!

[Q] What is what in rom files?

I am trying to compile new rom for i637 out of original AT&T 6.5 rom, Telcel Mexico 6.5 rom and Chinese ROM. There are few things i'm interested in changing and I was wondering what can i find in eboot.eb0, pda.pda and phone.bin files. What do they do. What do they contain. WHAT IS WHAT?
Since someone wrote that in csc file there's language and keyboard and stuff I wanted to flash the phone with mexican pda file but with us csc so the keyboard won't get changed.
Can anyone please help me figure this out. Is there a way for me to extract csc from official AT&T updater.exe?
If anyone can explain it to me please keep it simple and clear cause it's my first attempt.
Thank you
Edit: Can you please tell me how to extract fiiles from AT&T updater. It's called MSM7X00 Unified Downloader.

I have a similar question.
I was wondering if there is a possibility that any of the files used to flash the BenQ E72 could contain the Splash image that comes when you turn on the phone...
I'm using Windows Phone 6.5 on my E72, but everytime I turn on the phone I see tha old Windows Phone 6.0 splash image...
That picture is not inside my Rom, so I guess it must be located in one of the files used to flash the device... I'm attaching these files to see see if someone more knowledgeable can tell me if there is an image within those files! Thanks!!
can anyone help me? I'm sure somebody knows...c'mon brainiacs

that file is in your ROM, but not as a .jpeg or some picture file.. There is a registry key that directs to a .dll file which contains the Splash Logo!
If you want to change the Splash Logo for any custom one, take a look in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769651
This is a Mortscript based Program
- Menu GridView to ListView
- Menu ListView to GridView
- Hide Menu Labels
- Show Menu Labels
- Change Startup Splash Logo
- Change Shutdown Splash Logo
- You can use any JPEG file with a 320x240 resolution
- You can also use the files in the \Windows directory, permission doesn't make sense (hidden, read only, archive)
In order to use it, you must download Mortscript: the link is in the same thread!

If you want to cook again with the right Splash Logo, use this resource:
You can only use a .jpg picture with a 320x240 (only for QVGA) resolution.
Place the file in \Application Data\Home\Your Custom File Name).jpg
Go to this path:
in HKLM\system\startup\1\
delete or backup STRING "DLL" Value "doani_Samsung.dll" (if any - found on remora)
create a new STRING with title "Splash" with VALUE "Application Data\Home\(Your Custom File Name).jpg"
in HKLM\System\Shutdown\1\
delete STRING "DLL" VALUE "doani_Samsung.dll" (if any)
create new STRING with Title "Splash" and Value "Application Data\Home\(Your Custom File Name).jpg"
I've tried all those things long time ago...So I say that the splash image may be contained in one of the files attached, so I'm asking if anyone can help me with that issue please
The old Windows Phone 6.0 image splash appears when I power on the phone...Then appears the Windows Phone 6.5 image splash...As I said before, that picture is not contained in my rom, dll file, etc

[Q] Mediacom 720i Boot.img

Hello guys,
I'm new here, and I don't know if I'm posting on the right section, but I cannot find a "Mediacom Tablet" section of the forum.
I'm trying to alter the boot logo of my android tablet rom, I've extracted the boot.img file with a tool called "wendal" , and then I've extracted it with a tool called "extractboot" ... then I've swapped the "initlogo.rle" with my own logo (I've renamed it initlogo.rle of course), and then I've rebuilt the boot.img again (with "packboot").
Now, I've a "boot_new.img" ready to flash on my Mediacom Smartpad 720i .. So I've open RKAndroidTool, and I've selected my new boot image.. But my tablet fail to boot (of course I can still flash it back with stock fw)
I'm pretty sure that the problem is the offset in RKAndroidTool I don't know what to write exactly in the offset field :/
I've tryied with "0x00008000" , but since my modified Boot.img is bigger than the original one, I think that it fail for that reason
Any help please ? Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english

Changing boot logo (logo.bin) program

Hi all!
I've created a little program, It can make new logo.bin with recovery update.zip for Mediatek based phones.
1) LogoBuilder
Program page
Update 11.03.2015 (version 1.6)
1) Added 32bit color depth support (MTK67xx platform)
2) Enchanced image size autodetect algorithm
3) Transited to .NET Framework 4.0.
Update 17.05.2014 (version 1.5.1)
1) Added vertical scrollbar in main window;
2) Double click on image opens it in default program;
3) Added full path edit in folder browser dialog.
Update 04.05.2014 (version 1.5)
1) Fixed bug with ignoring unknown blocks;
2) New image size changing dialog (now you can just scroll mouse wheel to get your image). So that awful dialog with three buttons is deprecated;
3) Now you can edit single image size right in created project;
4) Added new sizes to Sizes.txt (but who cares now, in consideration of second paragraph);
5) Added supportedRuntime. Now program can start in any .NET Framework veresion (starting from 2.0);
6) Added Portuguese (thanks to Typhus_).
7) Added Italian (thanks to bovirus (bovirusatgmailcom))
How to use:
1) Click "Create project".
2) Select your original logo.bin file and new project folder
3) Edit project images as you wish.
4) Click "Make" (new logo.bin and update.zip for recovery will be created)
5) Flash new logo.bin via any flashing tool or update.zip via recovery.
Where can I get logo.bin?
I know at least two ways to find your logo.bin.
1) The first and the easiest one is to get it from original flashtool firmware.

2) LogoBuilder UNPACKED
One more LogoBuilder program feature (kind of beta version)...
I've received a logo.bin file (from Freelander PD10), that has some different format. Its images are not packed at all. So here is the "Unpacked" version of LogoBuilder.
It does not make Update.zip and has only English language.
-------------
3) Gif2Bootanimation
One more little program. It can make bootanimation.zip file from a GIF file.
Working
Hello ankadnikov,
thanks alot my friend for taking the time to develop this tool.. amazing job for the Unpack-er logobuilder version.
I confirm that it's working. the: LogoBuilder_Unpacked.zip is the one working to extract the 4 images out of the .Bin file format, but it doesn't work with the .Img file format, don't know what's wrong there with the .img format..!
also the Unpacked version would make back a logo.bin file which I assume would create a new logo.bin out of the new images u would replace in case u would change the logo images inside the original file, so once replaced u can click on MAKE and it'll create the: logo.bin file so later on u can flash it to your PD10.
as for the: LogoBuilder_v1.1.zip, well I havent tried it yet as I was out and just came home now and about to go get some sleep and will try it in the morning or afternoon.
here is a Picture for the Unpacked version of the logo builder with 4 images extracted:
will try to add more info later on when I try to replace the images and when I try to flash it to the PD10 .. couldn't just go to sleep without coming to try and to say: Thank you Kadan. :good:

I saw your .img file. It's corrupted. Take into account, .img file size must be bigger than .bin file size.
Hello,
well I got this .img file from a full backup of my tablet... and yes.. maybe it's corrupted or something.
so far I'm trying to flash it to my tablet with SP Flash tool but no luck yet... I'm trying different methods and when I'm done I was planing on comeing here to confirm again..
still trying
hi again,
something wrong with the logo.bin after flashing it to the tablet...
when I started up the tablet after successful flashing I got the first image with lots of distortion u cant see nothing but lines and dots widely.
it got corrupted for some reason while if I unpacked it again I see nice images.
so anyways... after booting and the first image with lots distortion it loaded back the original logo..
I'll try adjusting the resolution maybe this is why...
I used 1024x600 which is my tablet's res. but I dont know... will keep trying..
be back in a few...
::EDIT::
I'm back now, and I tried lots of things to make the new logo.bin installed and get the images I want but no luck so far..
I always get the first image Distorted so u dont see the picture or even could tell what is it suppose to be or look like!!! very distorted thing, then the original Freelander logo will appear.
I think that the Freelander Logo is inside the BOOT_LOGO file inside: /system/media/images
this is where I believe the Freelander logo has another place for itself...
my tablet resolution is 1024x600 supposed to be 16:9 so I'll try different res. later and see again.
or thanks to yuweng I'll get back to his tutorials in his Signature and see what I can do with Cygwin
I also thank him so much for testing with me some logo.bin files and other methods.. he's been a GREAT HELP.
so far I have no luck installing the edited logo.bin into my tablet but I'll keep trying anyways..
be back later...

Distorted? Hmm... It seems like resolution you need is 600x1024 instead of 1024x600 (btw, images from your corrupted logo.img are vertical, i.e. 600x1024, and in logo.bin they are horizontal, i.e. 1024x600). Try use tool this way and flash new logo.bin.

again distorted... not working...
what I do is that I open the PNG file in Pgotoshop and edit it. then again save it as PNG... do I need to save the PNG with a special settings or specifications?? cause after all I guess this is maybe the only thing I need to ask about to try since I almost did everything and still not being able to have a working logo
also there's something weird... even when I change the first image which is FREELANDER... this one after changing it and gets distorted while in real tablet power on.. after the distorted image come then directly after it the FREELANDER logo will load!!!
where did this other freelander logo came from?? since I deleted the 1st image from the bin and replaced it with the one I want?
could it be possible that freelander logo has another place for their logo?
could it be the Boot_logo??
inside: \system\media\images
I sent you my boot_logo to check out..
thanks

You should go this way. Close the program. Open .project file from your project folder via notepad. It contains the next text:
1024
600
Now rearrange this lines. So you should get this:
600
1024
Than you should rotate all of your images by 90 degrees. Their size must be 600x1024 (vertical) instead of 1024x600(horizontal). ("Image->Image Rotation" in Photoshop).
After you did it, you can open this project in program (click "Open existing project"), make new logo.bin file and flash it to your device.
What about boot_logo. Yes, it could be boot_logo. File you gave me contains silver fleelander logo on a black background.
PS. If you distorted logo.bin is 600x1024 (vertical) make it 1024x600(horizontal). Just rearrange width and height.
what I did with the 600x1024 was that I openeded logobuilder unpacker then I created a new project, opened the logo.bin then when it asked me about the resolution I choose 600x1024 (so this is I guess the same as manually editing the project file in note pad)
and after I did that I got the same distortion image.
about the boot_logo... I mean that since the first image already changed and there is no more FREELANDER in the logo.bin then how come after the distorted image loads up I suddenly see FREELANDER back again as if I didnt change the logo.bin..... so I think that the boot_logo has the freelander image and that it's loading itself
this is what I mean by the boot_logo and maybe that I also need to edit it and also replace the freelander there with the image I want..
I'll try more and let you know..
thanks Kadan

This program does not edit boot_logo.
After you created project with 600x1024 resolution, you can see distorted images just the same as you flashed 1024x600 logo.bin to your device. Now replace this distorted images to images you want to see on your device and everything will be fine!
uqualis fars
Kadan u dont understand...
I see the images just fine on my PC... the 1024x600 and the 600x1024 but once I flash either bin file to the tablet the first image which is the only image I always change always get distorted..
I dont change any other pictures... only the first image (freelander) thats the one..
no matter what I do I get it distortied... always distorted... either 1024x600 or 600x1024
if u want I can send you my edited logo.bin to try for yourself if u want.
I may need to know how to save a PNG file in a proper way like what there is inside the original logo.bin maybe something is wrong with how I save the PNG... but it's so fine in my PC.
anyways.... I'm still trying different things
::EDIT::
okay.. now I tried to rotate counter clockwise 90 degrees and now all is fine except one thing
when the tablet is OFF and charging and u fast click the power button to see the charging meter... u see 4 Green Bars moving up inside the Batters... right?
now my Battery image is Vertically while the Green bars are Horizontally !!!
here's an Image to check out and know what I'm talking about:
s7.postimage.org/tuiqq3lvt/20121106084.jpg
let me know if u can't see the picture

It's right! Because the logo.bin you are trying to edit is NOT from your originally ROM. I tried to inform you about this, saying about different orintations in your logo.bin and logo.img files. I'm glad to see you commence to understand what is wrong with your logo. Now just adjust your battery image for charging green bars (you cannot edit their positions) and everything will be OK.
something is weird here....
u know what?? I suspect that something is wrong with the: build.prop file.... I highly think there is something wrong with it..
your logobuilder_unpacked tool is Great Kadan... I confirm it's working fine but just needs some adjustments based on different logo.bin built around, but the tool is great for MT65xx processors and this is one rare thing to have a GUI tool for supporting its logos...
I wish you could also develop another GUI tool doing the same thing with the boot_logo as well..
and for now I'll keep trying out whats wrong with the build.prop file and the theory I have in mind and will come for a feedback.
thanks again

Some devices can't be flashed with "package_extract_file("logo.bin", "/dev/logo");". You can create your own script (try using "write_raw_image()") or flash new logo.bin via flashing tool.

In Mediatek powered phones, splash logo resides on a separate partition called logo. You have to flash your logo.img/logo.bin to that partition. The logo.img you see in /cust folder is likely just a backup.

alright i saw some guide on some wordpress website to go to TWRP make boot partition backup , then to move that bacup to some folder i can access from pc ,alter logo , and put it back to original place + use that backup . Now im stuck before splash screen logo because phone can't load that logo and he is just rebooting after 10 sec or so . Only thing i managed to access is fastboot. Problem is i can't find any rom for my devices with .img format files so i can't rly flash them. Do you maybe have some idea ?

You just need to do more searches.
Huawei Stock roms come in update.app format. It's a compressed file that contains all the img files (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, logo.img, cache.img etc). There is already a thread to unpack such file and extract the img files. The tool is available here.
Now, once you get your logo.img, you can use dd in adb or terminal to flash it. This is not intended for normal users. I wouldn't advice it.
And no, you cannot use another phone's logo.img/logo.bin in your phone even if it's from another huawei.

How to change the boot logo on your MTCD/MTCE device

I was always kinda annoyed by the not matching boot logo. After the loader I could change the logo to the car manufacturer but the first seconds still showed "On vehicle navigation system". After installing the Malasyk 8.0 ROM I recognized a different boot logo. So a change was possible. After some playing around with various ROM tools I was able to change the logo (sorry, I don't remember the exact steps). After switching to the HAL9k ROM, the changed logo was gone. The old method didn't work with HAL as the boot loader with the logo was part of the signed update.zip and changing the logo of course breaks the signature.
So I played round with dumping various partitions and check for the logo. There is a way to change it:
NOTE: The slightest mistake in one of the steps WILL brick your device!!!
1. Dump the bootloader partition
2. Find the logo in the dump
3. Replace the logo in the dump
4. Write the new bootloader parition
In general it is a good idea to connect to the device using adb on your PC as typing on the on-screen-keyboard is error prone. dd commands have to be executed as root.
1a. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk2p4 of=/storage/ext_sd/mmcblk2p4.bin
Note: Depending on your ROM or device the partition might be different. So if you don't find the logo there, try other partitions. Also adapt the of argument. I wrote the file to the "Music" SD card.
1b. Write down the file size. In my case it was exactly 16MB.
2a. Search the dump file for the string "BM6". I used HxD and found it atoffset F800.
2b. Dump everything starting as this offset to a new file and name it with the extension BMP.
2c. Open it with your favorite viewer (I use IrfanView) and check if it is the correct logo.
2d. Check the resolution. In case of the HAL9k 3.1 ROM it should be 800x480x24, for Malasky it was 1024x600x24
2e. Save the file there to a different name.
2f. Check the new file size. In case of the HAL9k 3.1 ROM it should be 1152054 bytes
3a. Create a logo of your choice with exact the same resolution.
3b. Check the file size. It must be identical to the one of the dumped BMP
3c. Replace the data in the compete dump. Make sure, you use the correct offset and use replace, not insert.
3d. Save the new dump and compare the file size. It must not be changed!
4a. Copy the file back on the SD card
4b. Write it back: dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk2p4 if=/storage/ext_sd/mmcblk2p4.bin
Note: if and of is now switched!
4c. Reboot
Just did mine in Hal9k rom.Thank you

NOTE: The slightest mistake in one of the steps WILL brick your device!!!
Hi,
just a thought of safety..
is it not better that you change that -boot- logo for all cars so that "everybody" can choose his car logo, instead or to prevent that men would make some a mistake which wouldl brick his headunit?

Thanks for this!
In my case, it was mmcblk2p7.
At first, I had a black screen, but file size and resolution was correct.
Somehow, I managed to boot the device again and then I tried another picture and it worked.
I don't know the difference between my first and second try...but I'm lucky that my device isn't bricked.
Maybe we find a safer way for this...
