[Q] How to change the bootloader image? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I've replaced the screen on my Galaxy Nexus and unfortunately the screen orientation for the bootloader image is upside down (Where it says Google and the unlocked / locked padlock)
When the phone loads into the Android OS the orientation is absolutely fine, even in the recovery too!
I would like to sell this phone and seeing the bootloader image upside down can be a real concern to some people (even though it doesn't effect the functionality in any way)
I can remember with a few previous phones, I would flash a rom and sometimes the bootloader image would of been changed by the chef.
Does anybody know how to change this image? I would simply like to "flip it".
Thanks in advance.

White lock in google boot image

Hi, sorry for the crappy english but i want to know if the "white lock" image in the google boot screen of the galaxy nexus is like the yellow triangle in the galaxy s2 when u changed the kernel...if thats the case theres any way u can change it and just leave the google word when u reboot the phone??
thx
pd: i already unlocked the device but i dont like that white lock pricture i would love the just have the google word.
The lock means your phone is unlocked. The only way to remove the lock is to re-lock your phone.
hi, tnx for answer, so theres no way to change that image??? there isnt like the bootanimation or something??
Nope. I'm pretty sure there is no way to change it.

Hey I was wondering what you mean by the phone is unlocked does the lock have to do anything with the phone being rooted, or the clockworkmod? Sorry im new to android

When you add su.zip for short of superuser.zip then you have root. The unlocking of the bootloader allows you the ability to install custom recovery and get root access after flashing superuser.
The only way would be if someone hacked and created a custom bootloader, in the process hiding the lock symbol, similar to what was done with BlackRose on the Nexus One.
That was done to change the NAND partition sizes, and since the Galaxy Nexus doesn't face the issue of small internal storage nobody is likely to be working on a custom bootloader for the GNex...
You can do this, actually.

And yes, I use it, it works.

I've never tried it, but ROM Toolbox may be able to do it. (Maybe other free apps as well.)
The image is stored in the sbl partition on a GNex (see here) and although I haven't looked into it, but you should be able to do it just by editing that partition. Maybe segv11 can help out if you can't do it with ROM Toolbox or any other utility.
You can most likely change it with a file manager as stated before me but just make sure you have a correct size image check the logo me thread they have a bunch of icons already made and a transparent icon for the lock which will make it look like its not there

I have rom toolbox, but the nexus isn't a supported device and I'm not brave enough to try it.lol Now, there's this app called "Flash Image GUI", which stated that it worked with the nexus, but it didn't when I chose an image to flash, so I don't know.

I don't think you can change it with a file manager. You need to edit the sbl partition with a hex editor, and reflash it, or just echo the changed bytes to it.

logo me is the only way right now, unless you compile a kernel and remove it yourself(fanger of bricking your device this way, if done wrong). but, logo me is worth it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aperture.ezekeel.logome
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699657 for logo me icons i recommend you just buy logo me its much simpler to use that and its nice what you can do with it but honestly ive only used it a few times lol still i like supporting the developer and dont even think about cracking it lol
Off topic remark, but come on. You have a $300 phone. You can't spare 2.50?
If I could, I would, which is why I asked. At the moment I am not able to purchase anything from the market. I know many others in the same situation. So, yes, it does kind of suck, that it can't be changed for free, like the rest of the other android devices, but whatever.

ezekeel spent a lot of time figuring out how to do it on the gnex with ics and jelly bean, it appears that its not so easy to do like in earlier android versions. with a higher chance of bricking your device. i spent a few weeks testing this mod/app for him before its initial release. for the effort and time that he put into it, he deserves to charge for it. even though i had free access to it, i bought it anyways to support his work. now the other android devices its free because there is little work that goes into it(and a completely different way then on the gnex), unlike on the gnex which is a bit more difficult to do.so far, only ezekeel has figured out how to do it.

[Q] Can you root without doing the CWM recovery?

All I want to be able to do is install and use Titanium Backup. Can this be done without the whole bootloader unlock / install CWM recovery / Flash SU method?
This is for a GSM GN from the Google Play store.
No. Not that know of exploits like that don't work anymore. But you can just unlock, flash a recovery, flash superuser. Then flash the stock recovery and relock the boot loader.

the only way you can do that is if you're on 4.0.2, but i would bet you are on 4.0.4

I would NOT recommend it either.
However, if he feels like he really has to re-lock, we now have a method that can unlock the bootloader without wiping, assuming you have root of course. (But if you ever lose root... you are screwed!
EDIT: I didn't realize that the OP had a Play Store device. Although I don't have one, the Play Store devices are said to NOT wipe when the bootloader is unlocked.

Thanks for the info. And just an FYI, my Play Store device does wipe data when I unlock the bootloader. Not a huge deal, but it does reset it to factory state.

some people have said it didnt wipe when they unlocked the bootloader when they got theirs from the playstore.
i always assume its going to wipe everything.
I had no idea that unlocking the bootloader would wipe everything, but I knew I had to unlock it first in order to root it so I could backup all my apps with Titanium Backup, so guess what happened..
The thing is, if I hadn't done that, I would have waited for the official Jelly Bean from Samsung for quite a while, for my yakjuxw variant...
Pfff. Everything about this whole affair with ROMs, rooting, backing up, seems so weird and counter-intuitive to me. I just don't understand it!

I just dont like seeing the opened lock icon below the google logo when the phone boots up, But i just want root, and the stock recovery for future ota
So Rooting it and re-locking the bootloader doesn't limit the root functionality right?
and is there a possibility of having root + CWM + Locked bootloader ?
will CWM work that way ?
Plus whats the procedure to unlock bootloader without wiping device if your device has root + locked bootloader?

Well my previous phone was an android which was never updated officially after eclair. Running Cm7 ports kinda lagged the phone which was pretty noticeable after 24 hours or so,
So i used to reboot it everyday to clear memory. and yeah, I guess old habits die hard and i just love the jellybean boot up animation, so no reason not to reboot it, and thanks a lot for your replies

Yeah, i felt it was cool too for the first 3 months of having the Gnex but recently, Every friends non-google device i see (specifically the s2 or the s3) has the triangle on the splash screen, When they see my phone start up without the unlock symbol, they're all like "whoa dude, you still haven't modded your phone?"
then i'll go like "Nah, Why should i do that when i have the purest android ever and there's no need to mod this fast beast"

No lockscreen or Market/Google Play

Hey there,
So I just got my GSM Galaxy Nexus in the mail today and found a couple things to be a bit odd. You see, my package came with 2 Galaxy Nexuses (or nexi?) and my brother's phone seemed completely normal. It had Android 4.0.4 which he instantly got an update for Jellybean. My phone on the other hand was a bit off, as stated previously. My Galaxy Nexus shipped with Android 4.0.1, when i went to the "about phone" tab, there was no option to even check for a system update, my lock screen doesn't work (security settings are on slide yet the power button just wakes my screen and no sliding to unlock required), I have no market or google play store, I can't add a Gmail account under the "accounts and sync" tab, and my home button wasn't working (factory resetting fixed this).
I'm honestly just stuck on what to do about this device. I've factory reset this device 5 times already and nothing else has worked except for fixing the home button which wasn't working on my initial boot up.
Is there any solution to this Nexus or do I just have a defective one?

Ha yeah! The not-so-normal apps that I have on my phone include "Angry GPS", "Dev Tools", and "SUB PBA Test". I checked with my Brother's Nexus running JB and he's got none of those. I called into Google's hotline for Nexus support and was able to get in touch with one of the supervisors. I was told that the device I received was a Developer's Model and that it was the "strangest thing ever".

So, the instructions involve unlocking my bootloader (a task I know very little about!). To be honest, I don't have much experience with the mobile development. The only thing I've done in terms of tweaking with phones is following the instruction with the ace hack kit to root my phone (which seemed a lot more simplier than these instruction) and flashing custom ROMs.
To further my previous question, since the instructions say unlock the bootloader, does that invalidate my phone's warranty if I were to return anytime within its warranty period with an unlocked bootloader running stock android? (Would they even check/realize?)
And lastly, how safe is this procedure (returning the stock?) Is there a chance to brick my device?

You need to unlock your bootloader to flash the images. You can always relock your bootloader if you wish. You won't have an issue with the warranty.
Flashing the images the way I provided is a good way to learn the basics and will be beneficial in the future. It's very easy to learn. Just follow the link step by step. Flashing with fastboot is the safest way to do things and there is a very small chance of you bricking your phone.
Also what did google tell you to do when you called them?

I just got another Nexus from Play Store.
It's in developer mode, without Google apps and filled with a bunch of testing tools, like AngryGPS and Screen Test, the same menu in this image from maschiosoosa.
I tried to call Google Support and they give me two options.. One is doing exactly what everybody does.. Flash a stock Google image (but they said: "it's a very difficult way" lol) or the second, they will call Samsung for a replacement.
It's not a defective device, but it's kind of getting a Windows 8 Consumer Preview. A thing that it's not finished yet. Shame on Goole. lol
I'll flash of course.. It seems the bootloader is unlocked and its probably easy to do the flash thing.
Hey BrokeEven, if you got your device from Play Store you can ask for a replacement (if you are not sure of the flash image).
And probably your bootloader is already unlocked (at least if you received this same dev tool device).

Thank you, I'm gonna give it a shot!
When I called Google and talked to one of the supervisors, he was almost excited to hear about such an "interesting" story and said, "It looked like you may have gotten a rooted or developers model" and "If i got a dev model, I'd just keep it haha - but that's just me" I proceeded to ask him about whether or not it'd be a safe idea to keep the phone and do my own tweaking and such. He responded by telling me that even if i was to safely flash back to stock, it'd be "hard to prove" to Google or Samsung that I hadn't tampered with it. He was a cool guy
So let's say I did in fact get a rooted model by mistake, is there any way I'd be able to figure out if the bootloader is locked or not (even though rooted doesn't necessarily mean it has an unlocked bootloader)?

Reboot the phone, when it's rebooting (showing google logo) if there's unlocked sign (lock that is unlocked) under the google logo, then it's unlocked Nexus. If you only see Google logo, then it's just locked Nexus
I don't know whether this is a curse or a blessing... I remembered when i ordered this phone I said "meh, I'm not gonna bother with rooting and flashing ROMs. I'll just stick to stock. And so Google sends me a Nexus with an unlocked bootloader and now force me to flash back to stock (or root) in order to get my phone fully functional
One pic is my unlocked bootloader, the other is a picture of my ALL the apps on my phone

Fix for corrupt sign at boot?

Hey guys,

So i wanted to send it back and get another one, Using the awesome nexus 5x toolkit i went back to stock and locked the bootloader, but now everytime it boots up i get that ugly message that my device is corrupt and i dont want to have any troubles because of it. any help? (flashed the mhc19j, it came with an older version).
Thanks!

nope. That warning will appear on devices with an unlocked bootloader. The only way around it is to re-lock the bootloader or cover it up with a bootloader skin like the material design one available on this site

No. In fact someone put up a bounty to get ride of it.

Just fixed my 5x yesterday! Rooted it etc right out of the box and, presto, that warning. I'm having trouble with the link though. Here goes...
Or not. There's a thread with a flashable zip in here. I just Googled "corruption bootloader warning" sans the quotes and there it was.

nope. That warning will appear on devices with an unlocked bootloader. The only way around it is to re-lock the bootloader or cover it up with a bootloader skin like the material design one available on this site

Well. i didt lock my bootloader and it is till there.
i am not talking about ""Your device software can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader." (Orange)"
but about this one:" Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly." (Red)"

Ah. Sorry, I misunderstood the error you were getting. I believe that second one is due to a mismatch between the particular rom you are running and the vendor version. If you flashed back to stock using the latest stock images, I'm not sure why you are getting it as the vendor version should match (unless something else went wrong during the flash).

Mate se boot screen on honor 7x usa is this possible??

Can this be done ?? If so how
What kind of question is this? I do not think there is a way to get a boot screen from another device unless you have the phone rooted, and then somehow get the boot animation from a Mate SE, and then replace the default boot animation with the Mate SE one.

Sorry, what? I can't understand you. When I say what kind of question this is, I mean why would any "logical" person try to get another phone's boot screen onto their phone? What is the purpose of doing so? What do you have to gain out of it? Smh.

No, I still don't know why you can't spell correctly. Anyway, I already listed the steps to switch up the boot animation. You can easily Google this information but instead resort to asking here. Smh.

I did not change it on mine, but just located to bootanimation.zip
it is in /version/special_cust/BND-L24/hw/usa/media/bootanimation.zip on the L24
each region/ model will have different path.
there is also a second animation located in
\version\region_comm\oversea\media
don't know when it is used . On mine, the one in the hw folder has "wwwhi.honor.us.com " on the bottom of all the images, and that matches the animation being used. The other one has larger images and no addresses on the images.
I'm also interested in this, since I already replaced my boot animation with one that has a dark background from here. The Mate SE logo screen is just the simple HUAWEI logo on a black background, which is less visually jarring (especially with the warning screen that's displayed after the bootloader is unlocked).
I understand that the boot logo on Huawei devices is stored in oeminfo.img, but I haven't figured out how to unpack/repack it for the hi6250 devices.
