For Redmi 4 or 4A, please send your device's splash.img as given in link below.
(For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.)
Requirements:

STEPS to flash splash.img:
Optional: To backup your original splash.img:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash of=/sdcard/splash.img
(Not necessary though.. You may get it from the stock firmware itself.)
Now, Choose any one easy method:
a. To flash from recovery:
Transfer the flashable_splash.zip to your device and flash from TWRP or CWM or Philz or any other custom recovery.
b. To flash from Terminal Emulator:
Transfer the splash.img to your device's Internal Storage, Open Terminal Emulator & enter the following to flash it:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/splash.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash

Nice. Do I need re-flash everytime I change rom?
And where can I find stock splash.img in my device?

Works great!
(I put a personal picture, so I prefer not upload an example, but it came out great).
I never dreamed that suddenly pop up an official guide for my model,
And certainly i never dreamed that the credit I deserve.
All credit goes to you!
Thank you very much! :good:

nice !

I'm try this guide on my redmi 4 prime… but why the end bootsplash no change…?? Still mi.com…

I followed the steps carefully, i'll say that this works like charm!

um... How do you think it would apply to redmi note4x?

Assuming yes to both, as this is before we get to system startup, but:
1) this will work regardless of rom?
2) this will work on encrypted phone?

Thanks a lot dear! Very useful!

Built custom splash screen and flashed on stock rom, it worked fine. Dirty flashing Epic ROM didn't replaced splash screen, can't say about fastboot flash.

You can just change the boot animation.zip located in system /media and set permissions to rw-r-r.
Here I renamed the original to stk-bootanimation.zip then added what I wanted.

Splash screen is different from boot animation. The one which appears before boot animation

Oops sorry, brain fart.
I guess I wasn't paying attention all that well.

@GokulNC, does this also disable the Qualcomm verified boot/5 seconds to boot message? And if not, is there any possibility to do so?

I would guess the splash screen is reading the bootloader state from somewhere so if that's the case disabling it or at least hiding the message might be possible since the image can be changed

Nope, the splash screen is just a BMP picture (in RGB24 format) with an empty 16kB header before the picture.
You could see that in the batch file's code.

The warning message actually is from the bootloader itself.
Most probably, it will be present in the 'aboot' partition, but it's not as easy as changing splash screen.
The same issue was also present in Nextbit Robin. (a company acquired by Razer)
Because, the bootloader is just a raw file when dumped, which needs to be checked using hex editor or whatever tool to see if it has an image and find its offset and patch the image accordingly, or even, it might be possible to find the location of where the amount of warning time is present and make it 0.
But the problem is, since it's a raw dump and the bootloader is the code that brings up the kernel, it's highly possible that if we do something wrong, the device might be hard-bricked (even fastboot mode is from bootloader). Also, today's bootloaders might even be signed, so patching the bootloader for warning picture might not necessarily work since the device won't be able to verify the integrity of bootloader partition after its contents change.
So, if there's a tool with which you can flash and recover a hard-bricked phone, and if you're willing to test the modified bootloaders that I create, send me the bootloader partition dump. I'll take a look at it

@GokulNC, thanks for your highly detailed explanation, but I'm not taking the risk of having an 800 USD brick :)

Lol I remember doing stuff with my Droid RAZR and Bionic for dhacker back in the day. It was worth it in the end, but took time for the recover from hard brick processes to come about.

Eventhough your device resolution is 1080x2160, the developers of this device have used 1080x1920 splash screens.
So I just extracted it and created the tool. That's the reason why if you use an image with non-black background, you see the remaining pixels black.
If I modify the tool to work for 1080x2160, I'm afraid it will affect the fastboot picture (since the bootloader would have hardcoded the locations for each image and changing resolution will change splash size and location of other files).
You may try it yourself by editing the batch file and set 'resolution=1080x2160' in the script.
Also, I may work around this problem if you can test the following:
Replace all the word containing 'rgb24' with 'rgb565' in the script and tell me if the splash.img still works.

Wow. Thanks its so easy.

This is the flashable zip of my splash screen.
If anyone find it useful.

Thanks for making this guide and sharing this tool, I love it!
I have an issue though, I tried making some 1080x2160/18:9 splash screens but they got vertically squished down into 1080x1920/16:9 , is this meant to happen?
As a workaround I changed my images to 1080x1920/16:9 and made the background pitch black so there wouldn't be black bars at top and bottom.
I'm a loser who loves watching Twitch livestreams, so in lack of creativity I just made these my Splash screens

@GokulNC I tried to edit the script and make the resolution 1080*2160 because I wanted a white splash without the black bars, and then resized all 3 images to the same resolution, and then made a splash and flashed it. Worked but instead of these images it shows a complete black screen.
You know why?

The routine that displays the images is very simple, and just looks for them at certain offsets within the splash partition. When you change the dimensions, file sizes change as well, and the following images are no longer at the offsets they're expected to be, so they can't be found, and nothing is displayed.
If the BMP images are exactly 6,220,854 bytes each, they can just be concatenated together; smaller ones could possibly work with some padding in between them but if you want a larger resolution, the resulting bitmaps would be too large in size.
One way to make the files small enough to fit within their spaces so that the following ones could still start at the right offsets would be to reduce color depth. (Another way would be to find the code that displays the images and edit the offsets it looks for but this isn't trivial). But in the end, the routine might still not be designed to display anything else than 24-bit, 1080x1920 px anyway.
