[Boot Splash] "Inspired" by Light (w/Preview Pic)

I hope you enjoy this. These are pretty easy for me to make, so if you have a request... ... At any rate, "thank" me if you like it and use it. And if you screw anything up and your phone explodes, or breaks, or Smurfs attack from outer space, it's your fault. you have been warned!
How to flash:
1. Unzip the file so you have "splash1.img" and place this file in your "tools" folder of your SDK package.
2. Boot into your bootloader (fastboot mode)
3. From the command prompt: Change directories to your SDK "Tools" folder then type:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
4. Reboot and enjoy

Got a preview pic by chance. Also check your pm's.

Preview pic should be up... I see it on my end?? It's HUGE. lol..
Anyone else not see the pic?
EDIT: Just checked the OP on a different PC, and pic WAS NOT showing up. This has now been corrected. ...

You will have to re-flash the default boot splash. Using the same method as mentioned.
Note: I will update the OP with the stock Boot splash as well, once I receive my phone.

OK, stupid question time (my specialty) I get into the Inspire bootloader OK, but then how do I call up or otherwise access "command prompt"? It's not like I have a menu button I can push, and command prompt doesn't seem to be one of the options displayed on the screen. I may be overlooking the obvious, and if so I apologize.

What T.A.G. was referring to was using the command prompt in Windows. This would also be used in conjunction with having the Android SDK installed in Windows.

I have not tried it. So as of right now, the official answer is NO. If you decide to try anyway, it's at your own risk. I'm not responsible if your phone becomes a pretty brick.

One click ADB commands! Back up apps, push apps, reboot, recover and download mode.

Make sure your Samsung drivers are installed. http://www.androphiles.com/files/android/Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver.exe
I figured this will make it easier for everyone to use certain ADB commands. All you do is extract the file, connect your phone and have it in USB debug mode and click whatever file you want. There is a back up for system files, applications, options to push it back to the phone, reboot, recovery and download mode. I hope this helps some of you guys.
Keep in mind, if the files wont push back its because your phone is in read only mode. You can use ES File Manager; go to settings and select root explorer and check the box under that. After you push the files then reboot your phone. You can also just boot into recovery THEN plug your USB in. Whichever one works.

This will be really useful, but I'm not gonna lie, I feel like a badass typing ADB commands manually.

Hahaha, I hear you man. I love typing up all my commands but I know multiple people who get confused so I figured I'd make this to help out.

Sounds like someone who truly missed DOS, and finally found a replacement.

I just rooted my Charge using ODIN method.
Is the command "adb reboot download" the same thing as holding the volume down key and pressing the power button. When I do that I get a screen that says Downloading.
Does the command "adb pull /data/app Applications" copy all the apps in phone memory in the folder/data/app into a folder on my computer called Applications??
I found this link after I had rooted and wish I had have found it first.
http://imransarwar.com/index.php/how-to-root-verizon-samsung-droid-charge/
I am not sure what this file which I flashed with CWM is. I think it is a kernel.
I would like to undo the Root I did and try to follow the instructions in the link above. I understand adb but not what I did using ODIN. Where would I get the original kernel from? Thanks for any help.

That method of rooting will only work with ED1 and you will lose root after doing the EE4 OTA.

Yes, download mode is where you flash your odin files.
And yes to the second part, it backs all your applications that you downloaded into the folder called applications. Then you can use the command to push them back to your phone, itll save you time with the installs. Some apps will force close, some wont.

Strange problem on stock

My TF300 is on stock and is unrooted with a locked bootloader. However, despite this, it is no longer booting into the stock ROM. It gets stuck on the bootanimation phase with the loading circle constantly circling round, even after a few hours. It hasn't moved on from this stage unfortunately and I was wondering if there was anything that could be done? I know I could try wiping my data, but there are files and app data that I would not like being lost so is there any way they would be salvageable? Thanks for any help

If ADB is accessible, you could pull /sdcard/, and save it on your computer.
While waiting at the animation, plug it in to your computer, open a terminal, cd into whichever directory ADB resides, and run
Code:
adb devices
If it returns your tablet, then run
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/
adb pull /data/
It should copy everything from your internal storage and your app data into the directory containing ADB, but I'm honestly not sure if you could pull /data/ without root access. And even if you did, I'm not sure how you could safely restore the files without breaking something (or especially without root). At the very least, you'll have the contents of your internal storage.
At that point, you should be OK to wipe your data.
If that doesn't work, then assuming you're on the 4.2 bootloader, you could boot into the bootloader by holding Volume Down as you start your tablet, and you will automatically be in fastboot mode. This should allow you to flash a stock blob with fastboot. Instructions to do so have been posted throughout this forum.
If all else fails, it should still be under warranty since it's locked, so you could get a free replacement. I'm thinking the data wipe should be enough, though. Good luck.

Thank you kindly. I'll thank you later as I seem to be out of thanks today. Admittedly though, I'm not too experienced with this stuff and don't really know which directory ADB is in

Am I right in opening the command window inside sdk--> platform tools?
If so, no devices show up when running the "adb devices" command although I can see my TF300 in device manager

That's the right place, unfortunately. I'm assuming you have the ADB drivers installed and everything. Otherwise, install them, and try again.
If you can still get into the bootloader, you should be able to fastboot flash a stock blob. I don't believe that wipes data or your SD card, but I could be wrong. I know that flashing them in a custom recovery wipes both, but I don't think the fastboot method wipes either. Unless tobdaryl or someone else more experienced than I can think of another option, your only next move is using your warranty.

Thanks again for your help. I'll need to look into using fastboot to flash a stock blob.

I was able to find the device using adb and then run the "adb pull /sdcard/" command (thanks a ton for the help in doing that) but it seems like it's only pulling my files from my downloads and Ringtones folder and even then, it doesn't pull all of them within my downloads folder. Any idea on why this is happening?

No, I have no idea why it's only pulling a couple directories. It should pull everything from the internal storage since the command includes the whole /sdcard/ directory. I hope someone else knows. If you remember the names of your most important folders, you could try pulling them individually to see if it gives you an error message. If it does, we have a starting point to fix it. If it pulls them fine, then I'll probably be stumped.

Thanks! I shall probably try that soon, but I currently want my files from the download folder so will have another stab at that. Thanks again for the assistance :good:

I have been able to pull some files using ADB and thank you greatly for your assistance in doing so. I hadn't really used ABD before but now I'm more familiar with it, so thanks. I have a question regarding using the fasboot method to flash a stock blob. Do I need an unlocked bootloader for flashing a stock blob? The guides I've found have suggested as such. My bootloader is locked.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I would imagine it would do a signature check before flashing, and since you'd be using the official ASUS firmware, it would pass. All I know for sure is that fastboot works on locked tablets. I have no idea to which extent it works.

I was just about to post that your first step should be to wipe data and see if it boots before we get caught up in fastboot. That is a last resort here. If wiping data may work, fastboot is more work than necessary.

Just to confirm that my tablet did indeed start working again after wiping the data although the stock Asus Backup App fails to restore my app backups from a while ago. It stops at 15%.

Full Screen?

Hi,
I have root,is there anyway we can make use of this great screen easily by getting rid of the navigation on the bottom and the google search bar then use a pie app for navigation?
Cheers.
PS I did search the forum but did not see this question come up.

FYI this has been covered in at least a few threads here.
But this is what I did-
Install this app (it's what I use) or a similar one of your choosing- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.eatheat.pie&hl=en
And add this line to your build.pro to get rid of your navbar- qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Reboot after editing your build.prop.
That's all you gotta do.

Did you edit anything else in your build.prop? All that does is trick the phone into thinking you've got hardware keys, thus eliminating the need for a navbar. There's no reason why that mod alone would cause your phone to not boot. Can you get into fastboot or recovery?

Well you can try using adb to push an unedited build.prop back to /system and that should get you running again.

Just download the stock ROM and pull it out of /system. There should be one over in the dev section.
If you're not familiar with adb, you should probably be able to copy the build.prop over with the file manager in TWRP. Just put it on your SD and use TWRP to move it to /system.
If you have trouble finding the build.prop just let me know and I'll pull mine and post it for you.

Since you don't have twrp your best choice is step 1 of autoprime. Just follow the steps. Make sure you have the latest USB drivers for lg g3. Also you need to make sure your device is properly connected via adb. To do that you open a terminal inside the folder containing the files. To get adb correctly you hit shift and right click inside the folder the open terminal. Once terminal is open you start by connecting the device via adb. To check is connected your adb device id must show with the word device in front. If it shows unauthorized you need to allowed the connection on the phone. Once connected you need to push the files to the root of the sdcard
adb push "each file" /sdcard/
Then follow with the commands on step 1. Very important to rename twrp file to the name shown in the command.

You can flashes any rom bumped since this is bumped as well, if you run into a boot loop make sure to flash the corresponding modem either kk or lollipop. About xposed you can try but you better read the best way to install it because there are issues with lg cover app and the weather app.

i got it working, now im just trying to figure out why G3 tweakbox is not working with xposed

I actuality used the twrp app and it worked like a charm.
