Dark themed Pixel Bootloader Theme
This bootloader theme makes your bootloader more Pixel-like. It changes the boot logo to a Dark, colourful one. And then I changed a bunch of other things, because why not make it look pretty.
Note: These aren't the official bootloader images from the Pixel. I haven't seen the bootloader for the Pixel, but I do know that the Pixel has a colourised Google logo.
Curious? Here are a few screenshots!

1. Download the bootloader theme. This can be found below.
2. Flash the image on your phone by booting into twrp and flashing the zip.

UPDATE > I noticed that it doesnt work on oreo cause they patched the way that we could mod the imgdata.
I havent made 10 posts yet so i cant post links remove the - so you can download and use the links
You're done. Now, was that so hard?
Huuuuge thanks to bitdomo for their imgdata tool!
And a huge thanks to @epic118 for the orginal white version of this.
Thanks @LazerL0rd for telling me that this wont work on oreo since they patched the way to edit the logo's

Hi everybody,
after endless nights and days of experimenting and crying I ask for your help.
My Aim: rooting my HTC One S C2.
So here is my story:
In my first attempt I unlocked my bootloader and tried to put a Custom Recovery on my phone. It failed. I got always stuck at the HTC screen with the red writing underneath the logo ("This build is for ...").
I then found out that I need the superboot.bat to root my phone.
So I proceeded to re-lock my phone and put a RUU on it to get back to the original Recovery.
All went well, so I unlocked my phone again via htcdev.com.
After that I tried to run the superboot.bat but again I am stuck at the HTC screen with the red writing!
I know that this screen should only appear for a few seconds and the phone should go into recovery but I am always stuck endless in this screen. To get out of it I have to soft reset my phone.
So I am not able to root it.
In a video I saw that on other phones the HTC screen with red writing has some kind of a "loading bar" on the upper right which appears after trying to access the recovery.
Well this bar doesn't even appear on my phone
Please help me I really don't know what to do further
same issue here, so subscribing to thread!
If you can get to download mode try to flash stock firmware with Odin. Search for a guide on youtube.

Sent from my GT-S5830 running ImaGinary ICS.
Thank if it helped.It's there for a reason
Ähm isn't Odin for Samsung devices?
This is about HTC... Or does it work for both?
i recommend reading through this guide to rooting the one s. i've rooted quite a few phones using this method and it has worked flawlessly every time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
@HidaKureku - thats where i've got stuck; end of part two.
the recovery image seems to flash fine (both of them), and i've done the CWM recovery multiple times (some sites sugest that it works on the second attempt).
try to boot to recovery, and as per the OP it just sits there saying that it's for "This build is for HTC use only..." or whatever it says. no further. I've left it for 10mins in this state have have to power it off.
i have found that when i boot back to the UK retail ROM, it comes up with an error and wants to send it to HTC (i haven't yet been able to grab the error though).
has anyone sucessfully flashed recovery with the hboot 9.02.0001 image? i've seen a post on modaco with a user having the same problems as in this thread....
are you sure you're model has the S4 processor? if not, try this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785777&highlight=twrp
looks like i'm on the s3 version! twrp2 doesn't work either - same issue. (using openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img)
seems the UK is one of these 'select' countries.
anyway - even an S3 compatible recovery isnt working....
I hope in not threadjacking here. @OP - if im intruding let me know and i'll create my own thread
No you are not intruding as I have exactley the same problem as you!
I'm glad that I'm not the only one I started to think I'm doing something completely wrong.
It's like the stock recovery is damaged even with the RUU version.
I just cannot get past this screen with the red warning!
My HTC One S is kind of new (about 3 weeks old). Maybe something changed with new models?
good news; i'm recovery-ed
you need 'openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-villec2.img'.
It was 'tricky' to find, as the 'villec2' image doesnt appear to have any public links. As per the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785777, Get 'goomanager', allow it to find and download recovery image, however, it wont sucessfully apply with goomanager (you dont have root yet).
It will download this recovery image to to /mnt/sdcard/goomanager/ (you can change/confirm it in goomanager menu options)
mount storage & copy this to your computer. Use fastboot to flash as per the unlock/recovery/root guide.
i dont mind hosting the file, but the above should be the quickest way
Yes!!!
That's it!!
Thank you so much
You made my day
Thread can be marked as solved!
now that you know you have the s3 processor be careful which roms you flash, make sure they are compatible with your version. the rom i'm running (check my signature for the link) is supposed to be compatible with both. but just read carefully and flash responsibly

Thanks for the heads up, although that JB ROM in your sig says S4 in the title (thats about as far as i got )
@Schlengge - glad your sorted too i didnt even realise i was on s3 untill tonight; i thought all UK HOS's were s4's - seems not.
yeah XD i went back and looked at it and realized i got it confused with one rom i saw that was supposedly compatible with both processors (which struck me as odd) but there are a few roms out there for the s3, sadly not as many as for the s4, but you should be able to find one you're happy with. best of luck

well, thanks for that advice. It is kinda confusing to find a recovery for c2 version of the ONE S, cause any other recovery will not work with it. The twrp-team should definatly add the link to that on their website.
Can anyone develop a boot logo (without the Unlock and signature verification warning) and boot animation without the use of TWRP? I'd love it if someone could point me to a how-to if they can't produce such a thing, please and thank you!
This would be awesome. Hopefully someone can figure it out. This was possible on the Nexus 5X but not the 6P, for some reason.
I fear with the latest SafetyNET update triggering with as little as an unlocked bootloader that this won't be possible for some time. However if there is a developer willing to tackle this, I'm willing to donate to the cause, as I'm sure others would be too. I know that many other people would love have black boot logo and the error gone as well.

How do we create a bounty? I have no clue. I'd throw in a dollar or two.
Well I tried changing the hex code in system\media\bootanimation.zip from white to black but that didn't do the trick. It basically just "removed" any animation whatsoever and booted up with a static white background and Google logo.
I would love someone to look into this more.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Happened to me once. I rechecked the permissions 644 after I placed the files once again in solid explorer and there it was- not correct. Changed permissions, rechecked, permissions stood there, rebooted and it worked.
I wonder if the developer of the Weta ROM @Mentalmuso can assist. One of the main reasons I use this great ROM is to get the black boot logo (just the boot image, not the starting BL unlock warning). This way, I have a visual indicator of which slot I'm booting into. If it's black, it's slot A.
Here's one.

Root
Has anyone been able to root this phone? I've had no luck with the usual one-clicks, and google searching for this phone is like being in purgatory.
bump
Should have one in a couple of weeks. Are you able to get to fastboot and/or adb in recovery?
There is a bootloader unlock toggle in developer options, and I have been able to access fastboot. My only concern was flashing a potentially incompatible recovery - I've flashed and rooted a few phones before, but I've always just followed guides. Glad to see you're getting the phone.

Once in fastboot you should be able to do a fastboot oem unlock
From here you might be able to boot a twrp recovery.img from a similar device fastboot boot recovery.img (this wont flash the recovery just boot it to test if it works)
Otherwise a TWRP port will need to be done which will require the recovery.img from this phone. The MK Droid and SP Flash tools dont work with the MT6757 in this phone. I have only found SpaceMKTool to work - but it is too limited in function yet (maybe root function might work).
This is my wife's phone so I have to be very careful at my hacking or she will hack me
Haha, that would not be good. I wasn't aware you could boot a recovery without flashing, kind of like an OS on a USB drive.
I appreciate your effort, it is a shame not many people seem to have bought this phone since it has good hardware and supports every radio band I need (T-Mobile). I'll be waiting patiently to see if you make any progress.

I tried a twrp image from another 6757 phone but wasnt sucessful. I have tried to extract the existing recovery.img to see if I can port it.
Its not well supported yet but its a top phone for the money.
---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------
**This is a very early test**
* removed it didnt work *
Its a stab in the dark as I couldn't get the original scatter file off the device but took one from another 6757D device.
The stock recovery image uncompressed OK so thats a good sign. I copied the relevant files across to the port and recompressed.
make sure you run fastboot oem unlock so you can run the test boot.
I wouldn't flash this until you are able to boot it first using fastboot boot recovery.img. If that doesnt work you could try fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery.img
Once I get some time with the wife's phone I will try to boot it but unlocking or locking the bootloader does factory reset the phone so I need to do it when I have time to reset her stuff.
Hopefully you can test but I don't take any responsibility That's the fun or early testing
** Update **
Was able to port from a Meizu recovery and flash. It is working but display is upside down so now I need to work on either getting another one or somehow flipping it.
So the good news is
a. the stock recovery.img is good and I have a way back if I need to
b. I can boot the twrp_recovery and work upside down to backup / root and restore
I'll keep testing for a prefect finish
So this is the twrp recovery ported from Doogee Mix
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3FXCUVt554MZFd1SnRYZW95Rms/view?usp=sharing
** It is upside down - but usable if you think opposite of where the touch should be **
So far I have tested rom backup and that seems to get the right partitions.
I will keep searching on how to flip this darn recovery image.
Thank you for the port, I hope you can get the correct rotation, I was wondering if there is any ROM developer around, I would like a clean optimized ROM for it, pico gapps and hope to get less lag sometimes, if it is possible to get the latest security patch or Android 8.0 it would be awesome too

Surprising how little is there. No downloadable ROM - no posts in forums.
I have messaged them and asked for a copy of the ROM but so far nothing
Was trying to find other users of this phone - Meiigoo M1 to ask few question about issues i am facing with this phone. I see that other party hears lot of background noise when i do video call in skype or whatsapp. They hardly able to hear my voice, its mostly complete static noise. Issue is with all video calling apps. Also Waze nagivation app keeps crashing . Anyone noticed these problems? Are there any workarounds or fixes ? Or is my phone a lemon ?
Thanks

This is on sale now for $189. I want to give it a shot. Is anybody here using it on Tmobile and are you getting VOLTE and wifi calling?
Are the stability issues you mention minor issues or things I could live with?
Also what SOT are you guys getting?
Photo samples?

Pictures are not good. Not sure that the dual rear cameras work.... The front cam is 13m pixels and not 8 as annonced...
This EDK2 Port can now boot Windows bootaa64.efi with repartition to userdata partition. [I'll wirte a tool after then.]
You can download boot.img at my github release page
Evsio0n/edk2sdm
Also you can see it on my Twitter
@boby2001820
And flash it with TWRP recovery to see UEFI loader
(Strongly suggest you backup boot.img first , beacuse at this stage It's still can't boot any OS.( Needs repartition))
Stay tuned for further news
Wow, awesome!!! Looking forward to this???
This is amazing, well done! Do you think we will have the same luck with sd845? Also after some googleing i noticed two different s8s, did you manage to fully brick one of them, to the point of no fix?
Hi! Could this also work with the Exynos version?
If you all read the articles. Nothing works. No touch no nothing so it's useless. A cool concept but that's it
Hello I'm a student here for learning purpose. I've been messing around with custom ROM for over 3 years now and came across GrapheneOS and I liked it on my Pixel 4a due to its secureboot feature and others. So my question is can how can I use a custom boot amination in it? Since its non rooted and everything. Can it be done if so It would be a great help since I would like to use my own logo as I'm a game developer and I would like it very much. I've tried using flashing commands, tried changing it from file manager(not happening since dont have root access), magisk not working, twrp cant flash it. Is there any other way to do it? Thank you in advance.

Yes I gathered that. So is there there a way to root this ROM. I also found a rooted version of GraphOS but the link is no longer supported. Another question... Can I change another Custom rom to secure boot... like LineageOS suppose, after I change the Logo? Revoke all access like similar to graphOS lets say.
