Need Help Installing Original Verizon Boot Splash Screen - Verizon HTC One (M8)

I let my not so smart friend borrow my phone because his phone wouldn't let him change his boot screen, well he used Rom toolbox and installed acustom boot screen that I don't like. I want the original boot screen. Google play edition boot screen would be fine too, it's on Rom toolbox, but when it installs it doesn't do it. Also I might need to know what folder I need to work with.

Check this thread out... it has some boot animations and instructions on which files they are. Hope that helps!

Look in /system/media and see if rom tool box renamed the original boot animation. In there will be a bootanimation.zip which is the one you don't want. If you see a bootanimation.zip.bak or something like that, that's the one you want

[Q] In need of aid :(

Hi
Bourght a nexus s a few days ago. Today i tried to root the phone using a guide from youtube, if you search for "root nexus s" and look for the user named "Zedomax", thats the one i tried to follow.
First i unlocked it.
next thing was to:
fastboot flash boot recovery clockwork.img (shortend the name to help my self)
last thing:
fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
After this was done my phone is unable to reboot again, it just stops at a google logo with a lock under it. And at that point im unable to do anything. Only thing that works is removing the battery. Think i have killed it
Any ideas to what i could do? is it possible for me to save it yet?
best regards,
Fonain
try to use the pc software to repair it or to reinstall android.. there is no problem..
pc software? could you please tell me what software are you talking about, maybe a link to where i can download it? And do you by chance know how to reinstall android?
any help is highly appreciated
Best regards,
fonain

I have yet to use it on my NS but i used it regularly on my vibrant. You will need to get into download mode for it to work.
your link doesnt work
does anyone know where i can find the original files for nexus s so i can use em in fastboot and make my phone work again?

which phone model do you have?
i9020 or i9023 ?
Bootloader version is I9020XXKA3
Baseband version is I9020XXKB1
dunno if those version names have been changed while i have been tampering with my phone, if not its the I9020
that looks good
if it's really a 9020 then you can use the unlocking + rooting guide for the 9020 in the general section
once you get CWR installed, you can flash to any ROM you like
Thanks ill try look deeper into that, and see if that will solve my problem.
but it is already unlocked and partly rooted...i think.
have used a clockwork img and rootboot img, and after that my phone couldnt start up again.

those files are wrong use the mirror recovery image on the i9020 rooting topic in general http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545
Think i should have used that guide instead of the one i have been using the first time... looks great step by step!
But....
i still have the problem where my phone just stops loading.
1: unlocked it
2: typed: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3: finished at 1.132 sec (no problems so far)
4: reboot my phone, then it stops.
and it stop when showing this screen.
http://i53.tinypic.com/m74byg.jpg with a lock at the bottom which is unlocked.
And it just stops there, waited for several minutes as i have seen that the startup could take up to 2 mins after tampering with the nexus s.
get to the point in the guide where it tells you to download superuser.
Hope you can see if i have done something wrong
best regards,
Fonain
EDIT: oh yes, forgot to mention that the 2 touch buttons to the left on my SNS lights up. First one glowes for a sec or two, then it turns off again. The second stays on all the time.
repeat the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img one more time
after that is done, boot into the CW Recovery
you know hold up and power
then select mount USB
then copy over a stock nandroid backup for 2.3.3 rooted
after that unmount the usb
and select the option to restore rom from backup
and choose the folder that you unzipped into your mounted SD

you are awesome!
thanks alot!!

More B63M users here?

Hi all, I just ordered a Chinese B63M phone at cect-shop.
Nice phone with great specs.
I alreadu know how to root it, but are there already custom Roms available?
Could'nt find a lot of info, just a Russion version.

Now that makes us 2 people who owns a B63M and got it from cect-shop.
What I find out about their phones is that it may not easily allow you to perform some insider operations, for instance, maybe its me but I could not find any custom recovery installed and this led to my first issue after I rooted, and installed the ROM manager, I saw the 'fix permission' and clicked it hoping to resolve my force close issues and it asked me to reboot after performing the process but it never got out of the boot, the loop continued, trying to boot into recovery become impossible but somehow a combination got me into a mode where I was able to clear flash and this took me back to a pre factory flash good thing I backed up titanium so I cld restore my apps and upgrade.
Right now I have tried to flash and the screen has gone blank yet the phone is responding to touch as I can hear sounds when the screen is clicked, indicating that its not bricked I just cant see anything going on (this is my current situation and seriously looking for help).
Lastly, I am trying to find out the htc equivalent to this b63m, it looks htc but I cant be sure which of the htc has been more or less cloned... this is going to help with a lot of things if known.
Cheers
Hi there,
If you are looking for a custom recovery, try this forum, altough you have to translate it because it is in German.
Lots of people there with our phone end they know how to get a custom recovery on it.
Cect is German

Yeah thanks, I have also stumbled on the site forum before but I cld not get something out of it, maybe I have not taken time enough to search, I am back on it now and hope I get a solution to the blacked out screen problems I have after flashing.
You know cect-shop is German, they are a German company in China... I am talking to them on skype and hoping they can help me out but they seem pretty busy or cant be bothered because their response is so much delayed or even not at all.
Well technoforum has a special B63M section with all tools required.
They also have nice custom roms like a Cyanogen fork.
I also don't speak Italian, but with the help of Google translate I'm getting pretty far.
But I do let Google translate from Italian to English, that gives me the best result.
Good luck!!
Do you also get no working screen after a reboot with both volume + and power button?
That should get you to the recovery screen without any ROM drivers.
Very correct, no screen even in recovery
When I do the button combination, I believe that it may have responded to my combination for recovery mode but I just cant see anything on the screen, it just remains the same way it was... maybe it graphics issue, as in is the graphics is messed up for some reason or resolution issue, you wont see anything being displayed.
I am just guessing here but all I did was to simply flash an update.zip from sd card.
That is very strange, since flashing a rom does not affect the screen of the recovery boot.
The rom video driver gets only active during the boot process of the rom.
In the past I had some boot problems with my Wildfire start-up that I solved by removing the SIM card and SD card, removed the battery for some minutes and them booted completely resetted.
You could try that, if that does not solve the problem, the only way to wipe the phone back to factory-reset is doing it blind.
After I get my phone I could make a step-by-step guide so you could get to the reset menu...
Another possibility is to re-flash a fresh recovery img to the phone. Since I don't know what was in your update.zip, you could messed up the recovery menue, or even the bootloader.
Re-flashing those could also help and you don. t need the display from the phone, since you use the PC for that.
Here it is
Here is the update.zip I flashed. http://chinamobiles.org/downloads.php?do=file&id=618&langid=4
I am a bit surprised myself that the screen is blanked out but the phone seem to be working still.
I have removed both SIMS and SD card plus battery several times etc. nothing changed.
You said ''After I get my phone I could make a step-by-step guide so you could get to the reset menu...'', I hope you get your phone soon tho, and i can see the step-by-step guide you made.
I have actually flashed recovery into it using flash tool, ODIN dont seem to see the phone (at least the yellow box saying COm4 or 5 is not showing), I can see the phone using adb but when I say adb reboot download or recovery, something happens but I cant see what it is.
I too have a B63M...!!! Spice Mi-350n...........
If you need a moded recovery, i can port it for you........but you need to follow some instructions...i'll give them tomorrow!!
Waiting on you... I hope my blank screen gets sorted.

Ahh thanks man... Ii will wait to hear from you tomorrow, I aim in UK and depending on what time zones you are in but I hope to find you online to connect again.
I hope you have understood my particular issue here tho, the screen if blank even tho the fone seem to be alive and it follows the boot sequence, I can even find it using 'adb devices' command, it just the screen gone blank.
Someone suggested it may be the boot.img but I dont know about that.
Cheers
I'm from India - Local time here is GMT+5:30......!!
So, here you go !!
B63M= MTK6573 + 650mhz + Android 2.3
So, one modded recovery.img can't be used for every B63M.......this is because a different B63M phone will have a different recovery.img..........(hope u understand)
Backing up everything:
1) ROOT is necessary. It is recommended to put the phone in 'Airplane mode' so that it won't disturb the process and make sure you have ~500 mb space in SD card.
2) Download 'BackUpTools.rar' from HERE and extract it to your SD Card. You'll have 2 folders - 'gscript' and 'Install'.
3) Install 'GScriptLite.apk' from gscript folder.
3) After installation, open the 'GScriptLite' application -> Menu -> Add Script.
4) Tick 'Needs SU ?'
5) Click 'Load File' and select 'Back23.sh' and then select 'save'
6) Now Click on 'Back 23' and Super User will ask for Permission and allow it. Nothing more to touch. Wait for few minutes. After few mins, it will say 'Auto Close is Cancelled'. Now its safe to close.
7) Your Back-Up will be in 'backup_' folder located in your SD card's root.
It will have files named ' firmware.info, preloader.img, nvram.img, seccnfg.img, uboot.img, boot.img, recovery.img, secstatic. img, misc.img, logo.img, expdb.img, cache.img, system.img, data.img' in that folder. Copy it to your computer and keep it at a safe place. More Over if you are posting in the forums or sharing it online, don't include ' data.img, cache.img and nvram.img' as they contain your personal information.
Here i need two files.One is recovery.img and the other is firmware.info.
If you give both, i can port one for your phone !! Also mention your phone's model name/number because, without that it is not possible.

That was the problem, you flashed only the update, not a complete Rom.
I suggest you make a complete re-flash vorm scratch, so refash a fresh recovery.img and re-flash als a new Rom.
You can vind one at technoforum' as earlier mentioned
I thot you shd read my latest.
Ok guys I appreciate this a lot.
Here at this point I think you shd hear my developments before taking any further actions or suggestions.
aha thanks, I did just that and it worked although it is still blank at the beginning of boot but later something shows up on screen and completes boots.
Remember I mentioned that someone suggested it might be a boot.img problem... well, I used flashtool to flash a boot image and I can say it worked, I now have the visuals, even tho the screen is still blank at boot start but soon after it picks up and its working, now I have the phone again.
so @balamu96m, my issue was basically the screen, without seeing anything I cannot follow the back up suggestion you gave me here, but now I can see it again.
A couple of additional issues tho...
1- I checked the kernel and it has changed from 2.3.5 into 2.3.4 and >In the current ROM flash I have lost a couple of capabilities like Flashlight, camera etc
2- I followed this link http://www.technoforum.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=3351 to flash recovery and it says Successful with the green Circle -OK-... but I still cant get boot into recovery either when I use the keys combi or when I try to boot into recovery in mobileuncle tools, it just goes blank and stays like so until I have to remove the battery and restart boot normally.
3- From the same link above they have the Golight ROM in part 2 after recovery in part 1, I am assuming this a good ROM to flash and the things I lost will get back, but I still cant boot into recovery.
Coming back to the response from balamu96m... Should I still go ahead with what yu suggested and provide you the files details you want? both recovery.img and firmware.info... I am asking because I no longer have the original ROM that came with the phone and like I said I cant even get into Recovery after I tried flashing a new recovery.img, this one from the same link above (see the recovery.img inside the 'Recovery Moddata' file from the 'UPDATEB63MRecovery2012' download file.)
Great to hear that you have visual again!
You still have root yes?
The golight rom from technoforum is a good one.
I expect mine any moment now so I can customize mine too.
Good luck!

You flashed a recovery, but that is not working ah?? Oh God!!
Why did you do that bro??
Do you have any backup of the stock one??
If you dont have, then i have 2 ideas....one idea is to flash something else such that your fone won't boot....now you can send your phone back to the manufacturer and ask them to reflash everything!!!
The other idea, i'll tell you after sometime!!
It was always so

The reason i flashed recovery initially was that my phone went into a boot loop and I was unable to get into recovery, after a while somehow i figure it out and cleared flash and then restored my phone apps and co and got on fine.
But if I could not get into recovery it means that there was not stock recovery on my phone or it got missing somehow. This I have to ask Henkdrenth since he is getting the same phone from the same shop too, but there was no recovery in my B63m, I already heard there is a recovery problem with the phone anyway, and thats why I flashed recovery and it worked but then I flashed ROM and the screen went blank, which is what got me to this forum.
I did not just go and flash recovery, it because there was none on the phone in my opinion.

After many troubles, I found a mod for w690 which is the build version of my phone, I could not boot to recovery so used flashtool and when I load the scatter text of the one I found, it automatically load in every item on the list including recovery and boot img , etc, so I flashed these to my phone... and for the first time I was back in how the phone came to me,
Gingerbread has now returned to 2.3.5.
One thing I have noticed is that the phone freezes on me and then reboots?
I still cannot boot into recovery, I tried this again using mobileuncle tools...
It seem that I have flashed my phone which is good, but I was unable to wipe cache because I could not boot into recovery to do this which may be the source of the current freeze and reboot.
Can I solve this using the mobileuncle or what can I do to wipe cache, if that is the problem
Well, received mine, rooted it an flashed a new recovery from technoforum using myuncletools.
All went well, so I suggest you do also a fres re-flash with a proper recovery.
Hope that should solve your problem.
Edit: moved from my tablet to my PC to look for the link of a correct recoveryfile for you.
First, load this recovery.
Unpack it and put the content to the root of your SD card.
Use myuncletools to flash this recovery.
Now you should have a usable custom recovery that allows you to factory-reset and wipe your phone
Install a fresh rom
How to? Look here

Boot manager kindle fire

I have been playing around for a while with the idea of dual booting my kindle. I decided that I would try to use bout managerand see how it works. Thankfully it actually works well.
Do not attempt without making a backup! Not tested with stock roms!
Here is instructions on how to set this up.
1 download the apk https://www.box.com/shared/60c365b6e1a21a413b88
2 navigate to sdcard/downloads
3 find the app and press on it.
4 open it and wait (it will ask for super user permissions.first startup usually takes a while)
5 read the popups and follow the instructions.
6 use your recovery to make a backup.
7 go to the rom1 page and install the rom of your choice (as a precaution do not attempt without 1.3 GB of storage left)
8 Boot up your new ROM
9 IMPORTANT! WHEN YOUR NEW ROM BOOTS UP, UN INSTALL BOOT MANAGER AND REINSTALL IT FROM YOUR SDCARD! a bug in the app will install the paid version of boot manager and will be unusable due to anti theft code.
10 have fun.
NOTES
Make a backup first
on some roms you need to install gapps.do this through bout manager in the install zips option.
Boot manager acts as a recovery for your alternate ROM, so you only use your regular recovery for your normal ROM.
This is an easier method for dual booting than the bootloader, but the bootloader if probably a better method. Be sure to give it a look.
Make a backup first
Sweet! I'll try it out and report back.
EDIT: It didn't work with CM9 Vanilla....
It should, I was running gederom 1.35 and have successfully bootEd cm7 several times.what went wrong?
I'm not sure... The screen just wouldn't boot to the new rom after fastboot and just left me with a black screen... I'll give it another try with a CM7 Rom.
EDIT: Didn't work... again... Maybe it just me...lol I'll just use the FFF Ex. but THANK YOU for this anyway!!!
Maybe someone else will have better luck!
I thought about boot manager the other day and decided to give it a try too
I actually had a version of Boot Manager pro from back int he day, haven't tried lite
I'm on gede v1.55 as my 'phone rom', and tried 3 variants of stock (the rooted 6.31, stock 6.31 from az, and modaco v8 6.3). It boots from FFF v1.4 (blue) to the orange Kindle Fire booter, but won't actually boot the rom (the animation across the orange kindle fire logo doesn't happen)
I tried the inverse too - using modaco as stock and gede as rom1, and it would bootloop back to FFF everytime.
I really want to switch between stock/ics

PHONE WON'T BOOT After Installation of Boot Animation!!!

I have been having problems with my phone for weeks, to the point where I thought I would need a new phone (and many people commented this same belief). I managed to find ways to work around the problems. But now, I have a serious problem that I did not foresee: my phone will not reboot, even after a factory reset and clearing the cache partition. It all started because I installed an app called "Boot Animations" by JRummy Apps Inc. on the Play Store. I wanted a new boot animation. I installed the animation I wanted, then granted the app root permission to change my boot animation. I checked "yes" to creating a backup of my original animation, thinking that would be my safety net in case anything went wrong...
I rebooted my phone to see my fancy new Nexus inspired boot animation, and all I get is a black screen...for an hour. I figured a factory reset would fix things, but it didn't. My phone is still stuck at the black screen. After a few minutes of black screen, it turns white, and stays like that. But it doesn't go any farther than that white screen. I'm not even getting a carrier logo.
I'm hesitant to say my phone is ruined, since that's what I, and several other people, said about my previous phone issues, but those problems ended up being fixable. I would like to think that there is also some work-around for this new issue. I have an Alcatel One Touch Sonic A851L, running android 4.1.2. It's rooted. There is no stock firmware available for me to re-flash (I have looked for it everywhere and asked my service provider for it, and they could not provide the firmware). When I plug my phone into my computer, it says "CD Drive (H: )Alcatel_USB_auto", and the folders are "autorun", "driverinstaller', and "setup". No file access.
Does anyone have any solutions or ideas?
Also, when my phone is plugged into a computer via USB, it loops. It goes from the 'Alcatel' screen, to black, to off, then repeats about 10 times before finally stopping. Then it's recognized by my computer as a CD drive. When it's plugged into a wall, it just goes to the battery screen, but doesn't loop.
If debugging mode is on in developer option ,you can try this.
Download a bootanimation according to your phones screen resolution from here :- http://androidbootanimation.com/category/android-boot-animations/Try to access your system file by your computer using android commander.Delete bootanimation.zip file from system/media.Place the downloaded bootanimation file in system/media.Then reboot your phone.

Will the android commander work if my phone isn't booting at all? I can't access anything, all I'm getting is a black screen. I think the stock boot animation itself got damaged by the app I used to change it.

Well...u should give it a chance.

I tried your solution. Installed android commander and...I can see my files!!! However, I have an issue. When I try to alter my system files in any way, I get a message "You need root access to do this operation". My phone is rooted, but I'm still getting that message. Any workaround that you know of?

Unfortunately, no. What's more frustrating is, in the days leading up to this, I had a nagging feeling out of nowhere that I should make a backup. But I said "nah, nothing will ever go so horribly wrong that I need to recover all of my stock files"
Is there a custom recovery available for your phone?

Thanks to everyone who tried to help. I pretty much gave up and am getting a new phone (no problem, the phone was only $19.99). I'm definitely going to install a custom recovery on my new phone.

Did you already give up fixing your device? Hey if you are still interested you could try twrp easy maker. It will create twrp for your phone and install for you. Just google for it or look for it in xda. From twrp recovery mount system and go to file explorer and delete boot animation.zip After that the phone should reboot without boot animation.

Boot logo

I have created one boot logo for those who are wanting to replace the original one and to also get rid of the bootloader unlocked screen. Even though i know it maybe a non self made one but it works on the Z3 play. This may only work on an unlocked device do to that is all i have tried it on so try at your own risk for locked devices.
To get it to work you need to have fastboot/adb installed on a computer.
Device needs to be in fastboot mode to install.
commands to flash are as follows.
fastboot devices
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot reboot
that's all that is needed to flash the custom one.
If anyone wants to create a image for a logo and wants it converted over let me know and i will do it for you at no charge.
I'm only gonna be doing this on my free time so please bare with me if I don't get back to you right away. Also I have not created any of my own designs yet but probably will at some point just need to find a decent program for windows to create the pictures for it.
Wow, nice. Thanks!
Btw, I made a Lineage OS boot screen if you could help me convert it to a logo.bin, thanks again.
