This is a Windows batch script that converts png, jpg, bmp, or tif images into a raw rgb565 image, then flashes it to your Nexus 9 to replace the stock Google Splash Screen. With version 1.6 this script will work with any resolution image; using some built in scaling, cropping, and rotating. I have successfully tested this on my Wifi 32 GB Nexus 9 using Windows 7 Home Premium, but the batch file should work for all versions of Windows, even XP.
If you do not have windows and want instructions on how to do this manually, click the button below.
Make sure you have fastboot.exe, adb.exe, and your raw rgb565 image that you want to use in the same folder. Issue this command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Please verify that you are in "FASTBOOT USB" mode and not "HBOOT"
In the next command replace imagefile.raw with the name of the raw file you want to use.
Please verify that your raw image is 6291456 bytes in size. This is checked for in my script, but you need to check it!
Why?? Because total pixels (1536*2048=3145728) * Bpp (2) = 6291456
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 [i]imagefile.raw[/i]
fastboot reboot
That's it!
You need to have an unlocked bootloader.
You have to have your necessary ADB drivers installed and functioning correctly.
You have to unzip the n9splash1.6.zip file into a new directory.
You can use pngs, bmps, jpgs, tifs, ....Pretty much any common format
To use, just drag and drop your image onto the n9splash.bat file
Make sure your Nexus is turned on and plugged into your computer
Follow the prompts from there
This download contains the programs ffmpeg.exe, adb.exe, & fastboot.exe.
It also contains my batch script, which can be viewed in the following post.
Notes:
To flash back to stock with v1.6, just open the "sys" folder. Inside is a "stock.bat" file. Run it, and of course make sure your device is plugged in to your computer and that your device is on.
With v1.6 you can also flash raw rgb565 files. The catch is that they have to already be the correct size, in bytes. There is no image information (like width, height, headers,...) in raw files as they are nothing but pixel data. So I can't take a raw file of yours and turn it into a ....x.... 2bpp image without knowing what the original width and pixel format is.
I check the size of the file several times before it is ever flashed, so you don't have to worry about a bad conversion being flashed.
Believe it or not the file size is the most important thing, it does not matter one bit what the file contains. But if it is 6291456 bytes, guess what? You are gonna have a new splash screen. It might look like a snow storm on your grandmothers TV, but there is no difference in rgb565 data and an executable files data, there is still 8 bits in a byte and that byte still has the same potential values.:cyclops:
If you don't care to see your images open up before rotating, or before reconverting and showing them to you before flashing, you can edit the n9splash.bat file and change:
Code:
set "showbeforeflashing=yesure"
set "showbeforerotating="
If you want it to show you the image, put anything to the right of the "=" sign. If you don't want it to open the image, have nothing after the equal sign (except for the closing quote). And of course save the file after you change it.
Version 1.6 probably will not work on Windows XP. You may get it to work by editing this line at the top of the batch file:
Code:
set "usedefaultviewer="
to
Code:
set "usedefaultviewer=yes"
Changelog:

How to solve the signature mismatched problem when flash a modified bootloader.
I have read your post about Google Splash on Nexus 7. I have found out the Google logo. with your help. However, when I flash the new bootloader into my N7, I got signature mismatched problem. Do you have any experience about this situation?
Hi,
Is not working here, i drop my png in n9splash.bat and the .bat closes itself and nothing else in the files.

Quick note to anyone reading this thread:
This user is talking about the Nexus 7 2013, it has a totally different bootloader setup than the Nexus 9. The thread that the user is referring to is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764354Yeah, after I figured out how the image was encoded on the Nexus 7, the first thing I did was to try to change the image. I didn't try much and here is why. The signature mismatch is a safety in fastboot. There are ways around that (like "DD"), but then you would still have to conquer the even bigger wall of Qualcomms "Secure Boot". If you are really wanting to try and change it, you would have to find some way to disable secure boot. In your bootloader screen, there is some green text that says "Secure Boot: Enabled" (or something like that), you would need it to say "Secure Boot: Disabled"
I'm not saying it isn't possible, but no one has ever shared how to do that. There is a series of file checks that happen, where one file in the bootloader checks the next (or previous) and so on. To learn more about it, please visit E:V:A's thread about the bootloader. It is real thorough and involves a lot of leaked information, because after all, it is proprietary stuff you are messing with. While you are there give him a thanks if you don't mind.:good:

What version of Windows are you trying it on? Do you for some reason have Command Extensions disabled? Can you upload the file on here, or somewhere else and send me a PM with the link?

I've sucessfully flashed your image using my Windows 7 computer, and I just did it on a Windows 8 computer. I'm updating to Windows 8.1 right now, to see if that makes a difference. One possibility is that for some reason "command extensions" has been disabled on your computer. You can test it by editing the n9splash.bat file with any text editor, and insert this at the very top line above everything else.
Code:
setlocal enableextensions
(it should be on it's own line, above everything else)
Save the batch file, and try it again.
@Max128
It worked fine on Windows 8.1 too. Are you trying to do this with v1.6 or v1? Because you can't use images that are out of aspect or out of resolution on v1. You can use any image with v1.6.
EDIT:
I've attached two files.
meGTv5n.cab is the raw image that you need to flash if you want to do this manually. It is not a cabinet file like the extension suggests, it is the raw rgb565 file of your htc logo. "fastboot flash splash1 meGTv5n.cab"
meGTv5n_test.png This is how the splash would look. This is also a file that you could use on version 1.0, if that is indeed what you have.
Hi,
I add your line like you said: setlocal enableextensions , and is still not working , the command prompt closes after i drop the image and nothing. Yes i use your last version 1.6.
Now.. i have flash your meGTv5n.cab and is working great on my tablet. Thanks you!
Have you find why this does not work for me? the conversion.

No. It is really hard (but not impossible) for me to fix a problem when I can't replicate the symptoms. I have drawn it up as a fluke, since It worked perfectly for me on the same OS, but I didn't know you were still interested. But, if you want to try to make it work, I do have some things to try.
Copy and paste this code below. Save it as anything.bat. DRAG a file onto it, and report if it runs, AND when it stops running, if it does.
Code:
@echo off
echo.Echo off....Press any key.
pause>nul
color 0b
echo.Color set...Press any key.
pause>nul
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
echo.Delayed expansion enabled.....Press any key.

echo.New windowsize...Press any key.
pause>nul
echo.The file you dropped is %~1
echo.Press any key.
pause>nul
echo.Did you make it this far....
pause>nul
In the meantime, I have no problem converting images for you, if you pm me the image or link.
I created a .bat with your code and I drag an image into it.
I got this:
Echo off....Press any key.
Color set...Press any key.
Delayed expansion enabled.....Press any key.
Variable set...Press any key.
Title set....Press any key.
'mode' n'est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne

The file you dropped is
Press any key.
Did you make it this far....
Also when i drag my picture in the n9splash.bat, the window closes right away but I managed to see: findstr is not recognized as an internal control ..
This can probably help.
@Max128
Yeah, that can definitely help.
Open a cmd "command" window and type:
Code:
findstr /?
does it say the same thing?
Yes the same thing.

That's the problem. In the windows command shell you have internal commands; that are built into the command shell, and you have external commands, that are actual programs (most of which are shipped with Windows, but you obviously can make your own). I always thought findstr was a built in Windows internal command, but thanks to the pros at www.dostips.com, I have found out that is is an external command. It is located at C:\Windows\system32\findstr.exe (your drive letter may vary).
Here is how you change your path in Windows. You don't want to delete everything that is already there, you just want to add "c:\windows\system32" to the path. Make sure there is a semicolon separating it and all the other variables too.

Thank you Droid. I will check those out. I figured I would get a smart a** comment or someone saying search. Thank you for not being like most. Will let you know.
Looks like everything is setup properly. I even tried reinstalling Java. Still getting the same error. Im stumped.
ok i was getting lots of errors
go to system properties (windows key+pause break shortcut)
then advanced then choose enviroment variables
then classpath click and edit
make sure the path goes directly to the testsign.jar mine is ;.;C:\Users\SI\Desktop\AutoSign\testsign.jar
the select path and edit same again this one goes to your autosign folder
mine is ;.;C:\Users\SI\Desktop\AutoSign
also download Auto-Sign v0.65(do a search)unrar
put your .zip rom in folder named as update.zip
select autosign.exe select update.zip from drop down and click autosign
hope this helps
Make sure "java.exe" is in your PATH evironment variable.
Open a command prompt and type "java.exe"
If it says 'java.exe' is not recognized ....
Then you have not set your PATH environment correctly.
I found a easier alternative to using autosign.bat for signing files.
You still need the file "testsign.jar" but you don't have to modify your CLASSPATH environment variable.
Just make sure the testsign.bat and testsign.jar are together in a directory that is also in your path.
Just copy the following code to a batch file named "testsign.bat":
Code:
@echo off
if "%1"=="" goto usage
if not exist "%1" goto notfound
ECHO.
ECHO **************
ECHO Signing File!
ECHO **************
ECHO.
java -classpath "%~dp0testsign.jar" testsign %1
ECHO.
ECHO File signed successfully if no Errors above.
ECHO.
goto end
:notfound
echo.
echo Error, File not found "%1"
echo.
goto end
:usage
echo.
echo Error in script usage. The correct usage is:
echo %0 [FileToSign.zip]
echo.
echo You may also simply drag and drop a file onto this batch file in Windows Explorer.
echo.

You just run in dos mode the nbimg 1.1 tool of pof from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405118
and you put the following parameters:
nbimg -p 18400 -w 480 -h 800 -F nameofphoto.bmp -T 0x601 -S 64 -D PB8110000
Flash the nbh file that is created ( i attach a sample in zip file ready for flashing) and you done it.You only flash the boot image, i mean the one that has the number of radio and rom at the bottom, and nothing else, radio and rom remain unchanged.Follow exactly the commands (capitals or not capital letters).
There is another image that appears just before the image that has the number of rom and radio.This can be changed if you replace the 601 with 600 in the parameters described above (tip goes to Chri55tof in post 2).
So you just need 2 bmp photos 480x800 24bit and the pof nbimg1.1 tool with the parameters i described above, piece of cake.
If you dont like it returm to the stock splash attached below.
Enjoy
Downloaded the file (from link you provided), made a 24bit .bmp file I wanted to use ... followed the command line, flashed to my HD2 and it works !!
Great job !
K.
EDIT :
By the way, flashing .nbh file done that way will replace 2nd splash screen. How to replace first screen ? (the one with white background and green htc trademark) ???
EDIT2 :
Just found it !
0x600 is changing 1st splash screen
0x601 is changing second (not like you stated in topic of this thread !)
What you mean ?
The second screen is the animation which is an animated gif file.
-T is the header type.
I attach the kind of settings:
Mandatory arguments:
-F <filename> Filename to convert.
If the extension is BMP it will be converted to NB.
If the extension is NB it will be converted to BMP.
Optional arguments:
-w <width> Image width in pixels. If not specified will be autodetected.
-h <height> Image height in pixels. If not specified will be autodetected.
-t <pattern> Manually specify the padding pattern (usually 0 or 255).
-p <size> Manually specify the padding size.
-n Do not add HTC splash signature to NB file.
-s Output smartphone format.
NBH arguments: (only when converting from BMP to NBH)
-D <model_id> Generate NBH with specified Model ID (mandatory)
-S <chunksize> NBH SignMaxChunkSize (64 or 1024)
-T <type> NBH header type, this is typically 0x600 or 0x601Example to convert a NB to BMP:
I mean `the very first screen`
This is the one with white BG and green `htc` trademark (the one before `reds` coming out)
0x600 is responsible to change this
0x600 next splash screen
Hi,
Q: So the second one is the animated one?? I'm talking about that one with 'quietly brilliant' ? It comes with the sound - how to change this sound?

You dont have to do the procedure for changing the welcomehead,bmp because you just replace directly in windows file or cook the bmp file.
The 1st screen with the red letters at the bottom with radio and rom numbers needs to be flashed as is the only way to replace it.
My little contribution ^^
Enjoy !

You just run in dos mode the nbimg 1.1 tool of pof from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405118
and you put the following parameters:
nbimg -p 18400 -w 480 -h 800 -F nameofphoto.bmp -T 0x601 -S 64 -D PB8110000
Flash the nbh file that is created ( i attach a sample in zip file ready for flashing) and you done it.You only flash the boot image, i mean the one that has the number of radio and rom at the bottom, and nothing else, radio and rom remain unchanged.Follow exactly the commands (capitals or not capital letters).
So you just need a bmp photo 480x800 24bit and the pof nbimg1.1 tool with the parameters i described above, piece of cake.
If you dont like it returm to the stock splash attached below.

Once I enter the command lines, it says "could not open "picture name".bmp? Am I missing something?

You change the welcomehead.png in Operator Pkg, 480x800 24 bits per pixel.
I attach a sample picture which you may use.
is there anyone that has the original 2nd splash bmp file or as a nbh file?
Found it

Thanks mate
why isn't this or a link to this thread (or similar) in the sticky/wiki at the top?
A word of warning. when you create and flash a splashscreen using the 0x601 memory location, it is not removed when you flash a stock rom. (Tested with several stock roms)
Stock splashscreens are flashed to the 0x600 memory location, and shows for 14 seconds. 7 Seconds when teh phone boots, and 7 seconds when the RGD info shows.
When you have a second splash in place, it shows the first splash for 7 seconds, then the second splash when the RGD info shows for 7 seconds.
The implications of this are that if you need to send back your phone, and you flash a stock rom, your custom second splash will still show.
To remove it (well, make it look like it was gone) I had to make a duplicate of the stock splash and flash it to the 0x601 location, so that it looks like one long splash. (As i found out when i had to return mine to o2.)

Okay so i made a boot animation but idk howto put it onto my phone, i'm using a mac, can someone tell/show me howto do this? Im sorry for being nub!

first i hope you have output your animation to numbered pngs ... as in...
tbistone_boot0001.png
tbistone_boot0002.png
tbistone_boot0003.png
tbistone_boot0004.png
tbistone_boot0005.png
tbistone_boot0006.png
etc...
then put all those files into a folder named "android" or "part0" or whatever you want... i use "android"
then
open textedit and create a file named desc.txt
in that file should be this text ---- lines are just start and finish do not put those into text file
---------------------
480 800 30
p 1 1 android
---------------------
explanation for what each line means:
[480 = wide spec] [800 = height spec] [30 = frames per second]
[p = play] [1 = times] [1 = pause between each play] [android = folder name]
after you have those 2 set up...
move those to root of your mac hard-drive on the desktop there is an icon of a HDD with the name of your computer... move the folder there and the desc.txt as well
open terminal [top right corner magnifying glass] [click] [type "terminal"] [black box should be top hit]
once terminal opens type this and be real careful when typing here there is potencial for damage with the [rm] command SO ONLY TYPE WHAT I TELL YOU
rm /android/.DS_Store [enter] <-if you get an error here ignore it .DS_Store is mac folder cashe
zip -r0 /Users/[your computer name]/Desktop/bootanimation.zip /desc.txt /android [enter]
[there will be a list of file being ziped and show that compression is not being applied]
[on your desktop there is a bootscreen.zip in proper format ready to go to your phone]
now on terminal type:
cd [drag your android sdk's "tools" folder into terminal window] [enter]
./adb remount [enter]
./adb push [drag bootanimation.zip from desktop into terminal] /system/media <- sense
./adb shell bootanimation [preview of what it should look like ctrl+c to exit]
./adb reboot or ./adb shell reboot [real test of what it looks like]
hope that helps dont know how familiar you are with this so i tried to add too much rather than not enough...
That looks very cool, I hope you can make into a boot animation because I would love to see it on my Evo.
wrx4memp, thanks a bunch i appreciate it, i'll give this a shot when i get home from work!

Absolutely, i'll keep you posted
okay so im creating a batch file for a little automation just mainly for rebooting the device into bootloader/recovery.. i have gotten most of the way through but at the end i would like for the batch file to stop and allow for further manual input (like i have it set to reboot the device into bootloader and then i would like the window to stop and allow me to MANUALLY input the next command such as flash/reboot/whatever) however i cant seem to find any way of doing that
HERE IS WHAT I HAVE CURRENTLY
it all works perfectly just for the issue i cant seem to work out
ECHO OFF

CD c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\tools

SET /P M=Type 1, 2, or 3, then press ENTER:

ECHO ....... bye!
I am not sur to understand exactly what you want to do, but you can do what you want in you batch file, it is what you did with for exemple :
- "Reboot Device into Bootloader [FASTBOOT]"
- "Reboot Device into Recovery [CLOCKWORK MOD]"
You have just check the choice with a number and after execute your "code".
So, if you know the "adb script" in addiction of the command you want, go to "code" it.
I remake your script and i especially add an exemple.
- "Execution" and "Code" are more clear.
- It is better for checking error.
- Now, this script is able to check if you are in "64bit" or "32bit", and check if the "ADB Tool" is in his correct way.
- Now, this script is able to check if you have connect or not your device.
- You can see the BootAnimation without "Power OFF" and then "Power ON" your phone.
- It is more beautiful, even if it is not very important.
The new "code", with your previous "started code" :
Code:
Even this topic is solved, i remove my code.
cheers for the reply.. but that was not really what i was after... i did some more googling and what i found was (in the last 2 minutes) that i needed a CMD /K at the end of the file.. which leaves the command window open and i can now enter in fastboot commands manually (for flashing etc)... i have attached the file as a.txt for anyone to use themselves if they were so inclined..
1. just make sure the directory of your adb/fastboot.exe is in the same directory as mine (CD c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\tools) and change the 2 lines if necessary with note pad by opening the .txt normally as yours might be in program files or in platform-tools not tools, etc
2. change the extension to .bat and not .txt
3. chuck it in your task bar/start bar etc for quicker acess
and should be good to go =]
edit: i see the checking that the other fellow put it can do the checking for you.. but for me i knew the directory, etc
So, i did not exaclty understand your aim, but you have found it, so it is perfect.
I remake my previous script to do exactly what you want, and i always check every thing during the execution, to know the mistake when we have a problem. Because my version is for everybody, even if i think it is just for us. (Views: 45)
So if you want it, or someone else, just ask me.

no worries mate it was my first time writing an entire script so im pretty stoked with the outcome i tried to keep it looking as real as scripts i have seen as possible.. =]
I will continue to develop this idea : "A easy way to use ADB Menu".
When i will have finish, if you want i will post a link here to it.

sure mate.. ill edit the op if you like and can sort something out?
i think the simpler nature allows for much to be automated for mundane tasks... as long as you keep the fastboot commands manual so noobs dont do anything incorrect
I will use what you want, and i will add what i post in my first answer here.
In addition of this, i will post the final "A easy way to use ADB Menu" on a new topic on other section.
And i will post news here, because i think you will look it.
Disclaimer
Code:
I have made this tutorial just to help people and share what I learnt. This tutorial in no way can cause any damage. But in case you yourself have done something wrong, I will be in noway responsible for it.
Pre-requisite knowledge:
1. A little knowledge about batch commands cause I'm not going to explain the basic commands like ECHO, PAUSE, CLS or similar commands here.
2. How to use a PC and keyboard.
Things Needed:
1. Notepad++ (Google it!)
2. A 7z file.(Most important)- Get it from here.
3. A windows machine.
4. An unbricked brain.
5. Kindness to press THANKS.
How to do it?
1. Open notepad and enter the following command to start your coding:
Code:
@echo off
color 1f
title Zipper Unzipper by alokbina
You can replace the title with whatever you desire. The title comes at the title bar of your CMD window.
2. Now making your menu for creating the 2 desired options. For that leave a line after writing the above code and write the following code:
Code:
echo.
echo Please select one of the following options you want to do :
echo.
echo 1.Unzip/Extract zip file.
echo 2.Compress/Zip/Archieve files and folders.
echo x.Exit
echo.
set /p se=Select your decision
if %se%==1 (goto unzip)
if %se%==2 (goto zip)
if %se%==x (goto exit)
Here you can change the word "se" with your desired letters but be sure to also change all the "se" with the same letters.
2. Now make 3 folders in the directory where you are making the tool named as COMPRESS, EXTRACT and zip. In the zip directory place the 7za file that you downloaded. And in both the other diectories, i.e., COMPRESS and EXTRACT make a folder named INPUT in each folder.
In the /COMPRESS/INPUT folders you will place the files you want to make a zip and in the /EXTRACT/INPUT folder, you will place the zip that you want to extract.
3. After that we will build our first menu, that is, the unzipping menu. Use the following code for that:
Code:
:unzip
cls
echo.
echo Please place the zip file, i.e. the zip you want to extract in /EXTRACT/INPUT directory.
echo.
pause
echo Extracting...
echo.
mkdir %cd%\EXTRACT\OUT
if exist "%cd%\EXTRACT\INPUT\*.zip" (call %cd%\zip\7za.exe x "%cd%\EXTRACT\INPUT\*" -o"%cd%\EXTRACT\OUT")
echo All done! Congrats. You can find the extracted files in /EXTRACT/OUT directory.
echo.
pause
goto exit
Here the mkdir command will make a directory in the /EXTRACT folder named as OUT where you can see the the extracted files.
4. Now time to build the zipping menu. Use the following code for that:
Code:
:zip
cls
echo.
echo Please place the files and folder you want to compress in /COMPRESS/INPUT directory.
echo.
pause
echo COMPRESSING...
echo.
mkdir %cd%\COMPRESS\OUT
start %cd%\zip\7za a -mx9 -tzip "%cd%\COMPRESS\OUT\compressed.zip" "%cd%\COMPRESS\INPUT\*"
echo All done! Congrats. You can find the compressed zip in /COMPRESS/OUT directory.
echo.
pause
goto exit
Here mkdir will make a directory in the /COMPRESS folder named as OUT where you can see the the compressed files named as compress.zip. Here the start command will order the 7za file to compress the files. Thus another window will open for compression.
5. Now finally making the exit command. Use the following code for it:
Code:
:exit
exit
So finally you will have 3 folders-COMPRESS, EXTRACT and zip. In zip folder you will have one file 7za and in the other 2 folders you will have a folder named INPUT in each. Your final coding will be something like this:
Code:
@echo off
color 1f
title Zipper Unzipper by alokbina
echo.
echo Please select one of the following options you want to do :
echo.
echo 1.Unzip/Extract zip file.
echo 2.Compress/Zip/Archieve files and folders.
echo x.Exit
echo.
set /p se=Select your decision
if %se%==1 (goto unzip)
if %se%==2 (goto zip)
if %se%==x (goto exit)
:unzip
cls
echo.
echo Please place the zip file, i.e. the zip you want to extract in /EXTRACT/INPUT directory.
echo.
pause
echo Extracting...
echo.
mkdir %cd%\EXTRACT\OUT
if exist "%cd%\EXTRACT\INPUT\*.zip" (call %cd%\zip\7za.exe x "%cd%\EXTRACT\INPUT\*" -o"%cd%\EXTRACT\OUT")
echo All done! Congrats. You can find the extracted files in /EXTRACT/OUT directory.
echo.
pause
goto exit
:exit
exit
Now you can successfully share your tool.
Note-You can practically change all the text written after : (the colon) but make sure to edit the goto command in the same way.

Re: [HOW-TO] Make your own zipping and extracting tool.
Great guide.
But Wait a sec,
can't this guide be expanded to make any one_click tools as batch? You could practically make any other tool if you know the basics, right. So why not add it too?:thumbup:
Hope I don't sound too pushy
