Sprint Boot up/start up files

Does anybody have the Original Sprint Boot/start up files?

If someone could help I would appreciate it.

we know where the files r but as far as i know we cant edit them (like the moment). the only thing i have been able 2 change is the boot up sound

I don't want to change them, I just want the original boot up/start up. I tried a rom and then went back to stock and my start up is not original.

ooo ok... what rom and what exactly is not original ?

I tried Syndicate, which I liked but I'am a fan of the stock feel.
Epic Experience wouldn't install
Installed Asop
Then I went to my backup I made of My stock Rom just to see if everything works right.
What is not original is when you boot into your phone/power on you see the sprint logo and S galaxy logo. Well and image of a flashing Android Banner keeps flashing/popping up on the intros, but not on outro/shuntdown.

hmmm have u checked for a bootanimation.zip? thats kinda what it sounds like b/c i heard that were able 2 use a bootanimation.zip but something has 2 be changed in (i think) the init.rc file.... worse case scenario just flash back 2 stock

No I haven't, where can i get the zip from?

i mean from installing one of the roms it might have installed a bootanimation.zip (im not 100%)

So what do I have to do?

I would try flashing with odin 2 fully stock and that should bring everything back

What type of backup did you make? The nandroid backup from Clockwork Recovery does not backup the kernel.
You may need to install the stock kernel.
IMHO, the best thing is probably to flash the stock image using odiin & then root / install Clockwork Recovery (or whatever you used for backup) so you can restore your data.
You can then be sure you are starting from original stock ROM & kernel.

what is odin, and how do I do this

You need to follow the instructions for How To Return To stock at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
You probably then want root & install CWM by following the
Epic 4G All in One Root and Recovery instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808103

Wow, u don't need to flash stock with odin, pm me and ill set up wit u on an im and we'll see what ur running and what u need to do to get the anim and boot sound back, ill provide u wit any files u need

did you install all the drivers for nvidia and follow the guide

yeah i did when im going to the program and click on it, it works even now, i can go to clockworkmod if i want but i cant do nothing right now, i have downloaded two roms and two stock 2.2 recovery roms and nothing one of the roms says sm5 mixmatch something like that.

What does it say on your phone

If the phone boots to anything, your not bricked.
Sounds like your trying to flash it the wrong way or something? Download the ROM you want, put it on your SD, you can mount from CWM if you cant boot past recovery.
Wipe/factory data reset
Then install from zip
Select your ROM and your on your way

Well first the S/W updating screen, then unplug the phone put the battery and reboot to CWM and when im going to do a restore/backup it always says wrong image or no image file or no file or m5 something as for now i cant do nothing to restore my phone.

I have seen where that happens at times, where you cant restore someone else's backup. If you have access to a pc, just download a new ROM. BTW, Gingerbread is far more stable on my phone then any FROYO was

bls2633, Sorry, just looked at the times on the posts. Didnt realize it was kinda like a live help deal going on.

not a problem. the brother above is right, it sounds like you are trying to flash the nandroid restore instead of flashing a rom. I apologize for not making more clear when I sent you the post. You can actually restore that but you dont flash from zip you go to backup/restore and choose restore for that file in that post.

1. You must have ROM Manager installed and or ClockworkMod Recovery flashed and an external sdcard installed. Then have the directory and file contents of the "LG-P999-V10f.rar" file extracted to your external SDCard in the _ExternalSD/clockworkmod/backup/ directory.
2. Run ROM Manager and choose Reboot into Recovery or boot phone into clockworkmod recovery.
3. In recovery go down to backup and restore, choose restore.
4. Select LG-P999-V10f and choose Yes - Restore.
5. When the restore finishes do not reboot yet. Do a "wipe data/factory reset" from the recovery menu.
6. When it completes choose Reboot.

Glad you got it worked out. The x-boarders stock tweaked is really nice and very stable. Its probably the best IMO. I also like the AOSP by Faux combined with his OC kernel is really nice also. There is also another I have been hearing alot about that seems to be really nice with alot of custom options and tweaks and thats called Weapon. Happy Flashing

Thanks a lot im going to check them out!!!

One more question??
When i go to the sounds menu on the ringtones they appear three times all the sounds, why is that??

Sounds like you have an older SD you may have used in another device? You most likely have them on your SD a few times under Audio or something IIRC

Maybe who knows jeje, but i just flash a froyo rom and it fixed so no worries.

Kernel OC help..

Since i used the costum kernel of amit...my screens wont go in etc..i have to restart it before it goes on..also when i try to reflash my phone the pc wont detect it..need help..

CWM
Did you try to use CWM to flash a new Kernel or Kernel without OC.
i think you can?
Good Luck

where can i find that kernel?

You really should not be getting any problem in Amit's OC kernel, it works perfectly. Are you on XXKPH? Make sure everything else is ok, like root, deodex, EXT4 etc?
If you anyway want the non-OC kernel, get it from skin's thread,

did that and everything checks out...even tried downloading it from each source and still the same thing. It also did the same thing with OrDroid 6.0.0, thought maybe 6.1.0 would work but got the same thing. it wont even get past the splash screen to the bootanimation. Im just at a lose here really wanted to try it out, guess im just stuck wit sessimo & RCTeam Sense 4.0 untill one of them come out with an update!!!

r u super cid

Try installing SuperWipe before flashing the ROM.
The zip can be found at the end of this post.

Strange suggestion but you could try an older version of 4ext, I have heard others with the same problem, try 1.0.0.4 RC4.

I found out what it was...when I would take out all the ringtones & notifications to swap them for my own it would change the md5 checksum, and thats why it would not boot past splash screen. That has never happened to me b4 though so i didn't think that was the problem, seeing as i do this for every rom I flash so that when I plug up my phone to the computer it does not change my ringtone just because they are on the sd and not the phone!!! But thankx everyone for the help...i really appreciate it!!!

[Q] just plain vanilla ice cream please mr

Hi guys ,just upgraded to a plain Sensation and id like to be rid of the htc crap...im a bit scared as ive had issues before (where i kind of ****ed up things and had to be rescued by fellow xdaers)
its running the stock ics.ive managed to root it and unlock the boot loader, the hboot is the 1.27 one thats a pain......how can i get into the groove in an easy turbo noob way...i have searched but just found everything a little intimidating

you shouldn't have unlocked the bootloader but no matter. follow the guide to s-off for sake of simplicity down the road.
honestly, of all the roms, I've been most happy with virtuous inquisition. It's a bit "aged" at this point, but in terms of stability, it's what's kept me.
It's still sense based, so all features still work, but beyond that, it's more or less an aosp experience.
give it a shot or one of the newer senseless / aosp style roms

ive got cw recovery installed and yes i still have s on.....is it just a case of placing the zip on the sd and installing from recovery?

you can flash roms even with S-ON but i suggest you to install 4ext recovery.see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861

Try installing rom manager from the market then install cwm9.1.0 from within the app. It is fast, stable and vanilla. I tried it, but I missed all the sense stuff so I reverted back to stock.

ok so is now the time to panic?i did as brusko suggested...and ticked all the options....wipe back up and install.....now im just stuck at the cyanogen boot screen........ok im freaking now..heeelp when i used to use my ols sgs i9000 i had a set of progs and files i could rescue it with....is there such thing for this?

actually because you are S-ON the recovery doesn't flash the boot.img by itself(has not the ability to write the boot partition)
that's why i suggested you to flash the 4ext recovery because it has the feature for enable the smartflash
other solution is to follow the extra 1 part of the thread that i provided you in my previous post
if the one fails try the other
best wishes

Oops! Didn't know you had stock recovery. just flash 4ext recovery and the 1 extra step like the post above mentioned. goodluck!

Don't panic. It happened to me too! Use this tool to flash 4ext recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497404
start your device when you get to the cyanogen boot screen, plug your device to your computer using usb cable, then start up the all in one tool kit, and flash 4ext recovery. Then boot into recovery if doesnt do it for you. In 4ext recovery chose toggle usb and transfer a rom in zip format to your sd (I chose ARHD 6.7.2)then chose disconnect. now choose install zip file from sd and flash the rom you just transferred. reboot device, install rom manager again from the market and install cwm 9.1.0 from within the rom manager. This should fix your problem! this is how I fixed mine Goodluck!

i appreciate this guys...ive got ext4 installed now i think....i still cant boot into the full phone only to the logo still

Quite a smart looking paperweight tho... ;]
But seriously folks..
Yeah man I think 3.32 is fine. I'm on 3.33 myself, but I've read numerous posts with users of 3.32 with no problems.
Check the OPs of both threads for full installation instructions - particularly around S-on/S-off as (without looking) I think Bruce's needs off and I think DragunKorr's is OK with on, but I'm sure after rooting and installing 4ext, you should be fine.
One more thing - nothing wrong with being a noob. Everybody was at one time and people who flame others for asking "noobish" questions should **** off and find something better to do.
