hello,
a while back I found the zip for a unique Nexus style boot splash, but the Google coloured logo was all in a cyan colour, I think it was meant for CM users,
wanted to flash it as my boot screen, and could not find it anywhere, was wondering if someone had the zip to flash for the custom boot splash
and if its as easy as just flashing the zip from clockwork recovery or if there are slightly diff. directions to get it working, i'll attach a photo to see if anyone recognizes it, or can even make it!
I have an Evo 4g running CM 7.1.0
cheers,
-Ømar
would appreciate any help, cheers

I hope u found out by now how to do this but just use any root explorer to paste the new bootanimation.zip in /system/media and set permissions then rebbot to enjoy alternatively that specific boot animation is available thru ROM toolbox lite in the play store along with many other choices.

There is one like that in the Rom toolbox app from the market. I use that app and it had that boot animation. It installs it for you too, no recovery needed.

Thanks francis88, i just tested them on my end again (btw the hosting server is remote from me) it worked for me, so maybe you should check if you have an adblocker or some kind of ipfilter going on? possibly the host was having issues too, but the links works for me at the moment. tested both github sources and the download link to the img. Thanks again
*Edit: Please keep in mind I am using androidfilehost's beta site and they are doing quiet a bit of changes to the site lately trying migrate users from the original site over to the new, and once they get everything settled in and the 'beta' goes away everything should straighten back up. I really like the services at 'androidfilehost' and the owner is really great at working with devs, so please be patient as they continue to upgrade their servers to bring us superb file hosting services. If a link appears to be broken, please wait a few minutes and try again, if the link is down for a long period of time please contact me in PM so that the thread stays for discussion about the TWRP Recovery. Sorry and thanks everyone

So let me know how you like it. Also if you happen to be a linux user, I have wrote an automated installer script for linux, Xbow59 is currently writing a windows batch script for installation, I currently have the Linux installation working though if you'd like to test/try it out just let me know. Windows users can look forward to an automated solution within a day or so
help :/........ i am on stock rooted ics. i just unlocked the bootloader sucsessfully and went to flash this. flashed the recovery. and when i try to boot into recovery i get the dead android guy with an ! in a triangle above him......... should i flash recovery again or try to boot into recovery again? i just dont want to mess anything up.
edit: im just scared its trying to update a stock package. i had an update a couple days ago and tryed to update but it failed since i deleted a bunch of bloat, no problem. but i dont know where it downloaded and if its still there trying to install.

By unlocking the bootloader successfully, what exactly did you do? If you flashed the btl100 file to the device that's not successfully unlocking, in fact don't touch that 100 file again. Hopefully you followed the guide and used the A200 bootloader unlock method. If you followed that guide though you wouldn't be getting the dead android looking guy. Be careful with this stuff, can easily brick!

i used that method (only one i know) and i got the distotrted green acer logos and it says its unlocked. after i followed the steps to install twrp and it went smoothly. until i tryed booting into recovery. should i try to boot into recovery again? ive rebooted a few times so im still safe if i have to power off. OR should i try to reinstall twrp and follow the guide again. because i am CERTAIN i am unlocked. before i had to send in for repairs i had it unlocked but of course they relocked it.

Delete or rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh then install twrp again.

I had forgot all about this, even though it is in my unreleased linux auto installer. If by chance you are using linux, I have an installer that will do this all for you the right way, I just haven't posted it yet because I don't have the windows installer fixed
you can either download the linux installer git repo and just extract it to a directory named twrp_install or similar; just run sudo bash ./install-linux.sh after you are in the install directory. https://github.com/godmachine81/Acer-A100-TWRP-Installer/zipball/linux <<current linux installer for a100 twrp
Or you can clone the repo
Code:
git clone https://github.com/godmachine81/Acer-A100-TWRP-Installer.git
then checkout the linux branch:
Code:
git checkout linux
then install:
Code:
sudo bash ./install-linux.sh
The git method requires you have git installed, you will probably just want to install from the zipball method if you don't already have git

Also I noticed you mentioning that you are using a stock rom, you might want to talk to pio_masaki about this; but to my understanding the stock roms from Acer are not suppose to be flashed from custom recovery. I have read different things on this, however I haven't ever attempted to do such, from what I can tell doing this can or will brick your tablet by overwriting your bootloader and failing to install android, giving you no way to get to recovery nor android.. Might be something you want to discuss with him sometime.

In your kernel thread he mentioned staying on stock for stability, so I don't think he'll be flashing off stock anyways. Not yet anyways....
Restoring stock works as it leaves the boot loader alone.

Thanks, just trying to look out for these newcomers - however I'm still a bit confused at which causes the brick. The way I first interpreted it, it was flashing any Acer packaged update.zip from a custom recovery that would cause it. Then someone said that only the HC zips would. So to play it safe, I believe I'd double double check as many times as possible before I flashed any .zip from Acer from either twrp or cwm if it was me. Wish there was some clarity though on which Acer zips are SAFE and which ones are BRICKs -n- a Zip lol

The ics Acer zips are known brickers but it happens for a reason I'm not very clear on. HC will also brick it.
Basically there's a chance it will run the zip, attempt to flash everything, however for some reason it will fail to flash system or boot correctly, but does replace the bootloader. What I'm not clear on is why it fails on system or boot but succeeds on bootloader, or why recovery doesn't error flashing it.
Once this situation occurs you get locked out of both recovery and system by the bootloader, no adb or fastboot access to correct it.
Using the information I've gathered on this I've been working on a method to restore to stock if needed, but its going slow as I have to triple check everything before I even test it. Its a long and annoying process but should result in a 100% factory stock system.

Great Francis88, mind I ask which method of installation you chose?
Here is the official ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.7 non-touch images and touch images for the Nexus 10 enjoy :cyclops:!
Credit goes to Koush for releasing the official ClockworkMod Recovery images
These are safe to flash via fastboot.
Non-Touch
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-manta.img
Touch
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-manta.img
These can be flashed via fastboot using the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/.img
fastboot reboot
Once again enjoy :victory:!
Note: To get the recovery to stick on reboot when Clockworkmod Recovery asks you if you want rename flash-recovery.sh or similar say "Yes", this will allow you to keep Clockworkmod Recovery installed permanently (Unless you flash a different recovery image) when you reboot your phone.
These reboot randomly as well. I've been trying to get TWRP to work, but TWRP is doing the same thing. Nothing in dmesg or last_kmsg to help either. :/
Also sdcard mount does not work nor anything reading from sdcard... only thing working is adb sideload.

Ok that is really bizare, both CWMR and TWRP are not working right and encountering similar issues regarding random reboots and mount issues. Whats odd is other people are experiencing random reboots during regular use even when not in recovery. I'm starting to believe that something Google might have to put out at fix for software wise may be needed.
So I take it no more "booting" the temporary ones posted before for the Nexus 4/Nexus 10? We can go ahead and "flash" these ones right?

i cant even get the sideload to work to get SU installed. Its driving me crazy. I keep trying it over and over again with the same result. As soon as i go over to recovery it unmounts from the computer then the sideload command fails due to computer losing connection with it. "Device not found"
Tried both CWM versions now .5 and .6
Not my first time around the block with rooting :-/
Used heimdall suite to flash my GS2.. any way to get it to push the .zip file for SU over to the phone? Push the recovery img then push the .zip maybe?
So I never even ended up trying to sideload anything, I just flashed the official recovery, then went immediately to recovery from fastboot, and once there I just flashed the SU zip and now I have root. Of course, CWMR doesn't work (i.e. if I use Quick Boot to boot to recovery it just takes me to the stock recovery, and if I try to go to recovery from fastboot manually, I just get the dead android w/red triangle).
Jayrod1980 said:
Finally got it... helped to just get the supersu on the root of the device. I used the fastboot commands to get to cwm touch and then I quickly installed it through the interface. I couldn't sideload. The device won't recognize adb when I'm in fastboot mode at all. I don't know what I was doing wrong in that instance, but using cwm briefly let me install supersu. Thanks for your help! Surprising this is so buggy considering it's a nexus... and it's not the nexus that's excluded from AOSP. Go figure!

I had to do it this way in order to get root. Finally.. been working on this for like 5ish hours now.. what a pain. Hopefully there will be an easier route for everyone else and a CWM that does not reboot in 20ish seconds soon. Good luck to everyone that goes this route.. it takes a lot of trial and error

I'm sure there will be, probably by the end of the weekend, if not sooner
I took apart CWM touch 6.0.1.6 and fixed reboot after 20 sec
I took the stock recovery.img from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjop40c, unpacked it, copied over the recovery binary from cwm touch 6.0.1.6 and resource files into the ramdisk... repacked it, and voila... no more reboots!
I'm sure Koush will eventually figure out what's going on with his automatic build system... my manually made recovery seems to work ok.
Please have at it (and feel free to thank me and report bugs), and if you want a tgz of my "unpacked" recovery I'll upload as well. You can also just unpack my uploaded file and see where the differences are yourself.
I've done recovery mods in the past for the G1, G2, and Gnexus when stuff like this happens when a device first comes out and recoveries have bugs in them.
Just "fastboot flash recovery $file.img" to try it out. I've got it running on my nexus 10 already and it hasn't rebooted (I succesfully installed CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 )

Great work! If you could post the unpacked version I'd appreciate it. I was trying to build a fixed version without success and would like to compare.
So,
Am I right in thinking...
cd to the adb tools folder where the sdk is saved.
I need to unlock the boot loader via fastboot oem.
Then copy your file to the same directory on my Mac
Then type in the command line you suggested with the correct filename?
After that I will be rooted

I could probably do it to TWRP as well (later today, it's sleep time for me)... however, I don't know where the latest nexus 10 recovery image is from them (considering it's not in this forum).
so can I permanently flash this now instead of fastboot?

Well I just flashed your version of the recovery, and after doing "fastboot-mac reboot" and rebooting, I tried rebooting to recovery via adb, and unfortunately it brought me back to the dead android red triangle screen. In fact, I can't even get to CWMR at all. Anyone else??
And to be clear, I have successfully rooted, so at this point I'm just trying to get a functioning version of CWMR on the tablet, if possible.
Did you try holding power and pressing Vol+ when booting recovery? That's how you enter stock recovery.

Yeah I know that, but I'm not trying to enter stock recovery, I'm trying to enter the custom recovery (which is the supposed "stable" one by damien) which I've installed. And it only let me access CWMR immediately after flashing it. However anytime afterwards I simply cannot access it again:
1) tried "adb reboot recovery" and it brings me to the dead android w/red triangle
2) tried getting to recovery via the Quick Boot app, and the same thing happens
3) tried getting to recovery via the normal holding buttons down to get to bootloader, then going to recovery manually from there, and a no-go as well.
In the end, all that happens is I have to toggle the buttons once I get to the dead android screen, and the menu for the stock recovery appears, which allows me to reboot. But as for CWMR, it is nowhere to be found. WTF.
Did you reboot after installing CWM? If so, did you remove install.sh, that will restore the stock recovery?
I have a brand new Pixel XL from Verizon that I received today and was successful in unlocking. However, I tried to root and now I am stuck on bootloop. I cannot post in DEVELOPMENT because I haven't posted here in years (haven't had ANDROID in a while). Can anyone help? I am able to access via fastboot (I believe) but I must be flashing the wrong images. I don't want to brick this nice new day-old device. I have been at it for 5 hours via research on my own, but now I am looking for someone that can help me via P.M. or what it may take. I really want to get back to enjoying this device! Thanks in advance!

Read the third post in the thread below to get set up and back to stock. Then we will work on root. If you tried to root and you bootlooped it then you used the wrong SU.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/help/stupidly-bootloop-help-t3554242
1. Download a ROM. A stock version is probably in the forums somewhere if that's what you want.
2. Download TWRP image and zip from the TWRP thread.
3. Download SuperSU from the SuperSU thread.
4. Download a vendor image. There's no "official" vendor image thread AFAIK, but you can grab one from the Pure Nexus rom thread. NMF26V is compatible with all 7.1.1 ROMs & stock.
Now you have two options:
Fast: Put the ROM, TWRP(zip only), SuperSU and vendor image on USB flash drive, then connect the USB 3 to USB C adapter to your flash drive. Don't connect it to the phone yet. An external HDD/SSD should also work if that's all you've got.
Slow: While in TWRP(Instructions below) push the ROM, TWRP(zip only), SuperSU and vendor image files to your phone through ADB with "adb push C:\file_path\ /sdcard/" sans quotes. You will need to do this for each file, or alternatively push a folder containing the four files. adb file transfer is very slow.
5. Boot your phone to the bootloader, and connect it to your computer. This can be achieved by holding volume down and power from an off state.
Note: If your device is still bootlooping you won't be able to get to the bootloader. Hold volume up and power until the device shuts off to get out of the bootloop temporarily, then boot to bootloader.
6. In a command window, "fastboot boot twrp.img"
7. Connect your flash drive to your phone if you chose that option, or push the files through adb if you chose that option
8. Flash TWRP zip, ROM and vendor image. STAY IN TWRP
9. Return to TWRP's home screen > advanced > file manager. Scroll down until you see 'fstab.marlin'(in the root '/' directory). Tap on 'fstab.marlin' and delete it. Skipping this step means SuperSU won't install.
10. Flash SuperSU zip, reboot to system and you're done.

Just thought I'd update you...And I know I sound like I have no idea what I'm doing but traditionally I've never had issues like this But I am trying to get ADB to show the flash-all command. The one I have installed doesn't show that feature so I can't follow the tutorial. If you have a direct link to what I may be missing I would appreciate it otherwise I will update you once I figure it out.

Thanks for your assistance. I now have root installed and I think I'm good except for one thing. I keep thinking TWRP is installed but for some reason when I reboot to bootloader, then select reboot recovery mode, it takes me to android recovery. I am used to recovery taking me to TWRP. I know TWRP works but I feel like I'm temporarily flashing it each time or something. I even installed the twrp app and I see I can flash zips that way, etc, but I wanted to know if you knew how to make the phone boot to TWRP in recovery? Or is that necessary?

I dont do it that way on this phone. TWRP and SU are modifying the same parts of the phone, and there are cases where it could conflict. Rare, not a big deal, but since i don't need TWRP installed i don't.
To install it ypu first boot to it.
Fastboot boot twrpFilename.
Then from within TWRP you install the TWRP zip.
Make sure it is TWRP RC1
All set
Thanks again for your help. I am running pure ROM as I mentioned and I seem to like it. Do you K or if Franco works with Pure or do you have a suggestion on a good rom/kernel? Is there anything else that you can suggest I should be using with the new phone? I remember there used to be tools that you could install that allowed you to customize the system even further but the name escapes me. . Is there anything like that or even a theme tool which is a must have when you are rooted and running custom roms? No big deal if not. Very happy with where I stand now. Really appreciate you getting me back up and running!
You are most welcome. I don't ROM so I don't know what kernels work with what roms for sure. But my understanding is that they are all pretty universal. I run stock with Franco.
Other than that i dont mod much. Ad blocker, black themes and a few adjustments to Franco.

Im running pure and elementalx with excellent results.
?Tapped from my pure pixelXl?
have you ever seen an issue where the phone boots to twrp even though everything was working fine? It starts happening if I do a restart. Then no matter what it boots into TWRP unless I wipe again? I believe it's happening after I flash root but I'm going out of my mind with trial and error. Any help would be appreciated.

HELLO!!! I understand any frustrations you may be having, as the pixel devices have changed a good bit for us as far as development. Anyways. I'm just going to throw some knowledge out there, then proceed to help get you up and running!
You couldn't post in the development section because of your post count, but even if you could, it would have been in the wrong section and it would have been removed, or moved to the questions section.
Also, I see someone has pointed it out earlier, but I'll say it again just to make sure everything is clear. The command you were running "fastboot boot TWRP.img" only boots TWRP temporarily. You are suppose to have two files, one IMG file and one zip file. You boot the IMG file, then once you're in TWRP, you flash the zip file, then reboot to recovery and you will have installed TWRP properly.
With root, flashing wrong files or using the outdated root method will cause boot loops. The correct way to root (again already been said) is the get TWRP up and running, delete the fstab file (see earlier post) then flash SuperSU and reboot. Just throwing this out there Incase someone comes across it, if you manage to boot loop your device due to to rooting, you can fastboot flash franco's kernel and it will fix the bootloop (,but you won't have root) this isn't the correct way to fix it, but it will get you back up and running without downloading the large factory image.
***About to edit this post to continue giving more info***
Here is a correct guide and good template to get you running.
start by flashing a clean factory image, then let it boot and get it set up.
Reboot to fastboot, fastboot boot TWRP IMG then flash TWRP zip using the latest versions (RC1 is latest, pm me for more info).
Reboot the phone to recovery to ensure TWRP stuck.
Go-to advanced, file manager in TWRP and find the fstab.marlin file and delete.
Then you can go ahead and flash the latest SuperSU (I use 2.79 sr3) and when it's done reboot to system and verify root.
After rooting you can go ahead and flash a kernel if you want, I use elemental which you can flash in TWRP, but see the kernel instructions prior to flashing.
Reboot and you have a nice stock ROM with root and kernel.
For flashing Roms, kind of follow the same template, most Roms require you to flash part of or the whole latest factory image.
If your on a clean install, go ahead and install TWRP as mentioned above.
Then use TWRP to install whatever ROM you want per ROM developer instructions.
Side note, some Roms replace the TWRP with cwm or stock recovery, so it's always nice to flash the TWRP zip after flashing a ROM.
After flashing ROM, boot to system to make sure all is well, then boot back to recovery and follow instructions above for root/kernel.
As far as the problem you're having now, it usually comes from flashing outdated SuperSU images. Do a search for 2.79 sr3 and use it to root (pm me if you need help)
You might have to start clean one more time, And flash factory image.

There is absolutely no need to delete the fstab file anymore. That only needed to be done when TWRP was still alpha 2, and almost three versions of su earlier.
ALL roms replace TWRP with stock recovery unless you are using lineage then you will get Cyanogenmod recovery, so reflashing TWRP before booting into system is a must.
If you are flashing root and or custome kernel and end up in a bootloop, flashing the stock boot.img to both slots via:
'fastboot flash --slot _a boot boot.img'
'fastboot flash --slot _b boot boot.Img'
will fix the issue and you will be able to boot up just fine. Again you will have to reboot into TWRP from the bootloader and reflash the zip. When you are done flashing the boot.img's you might as well just
'Fastboot boot TWRP-file.img'
Then install the zip!
Hello friends,if u bored with your current boot splash logo that comes up when u boot your device,so here i created the zip which will replace your splash screen logo
====HOW TO FLASH====
You'll need a custom recovery for that, TWRP is what I always recommend. Since, you are here, I suppose, you already have one. So, just reboot to your custom recovery.
Go to "Install",
then choose the zip file of your preferred splash screen that you've downloaded.
Swipe to proceed flashing and you are done.
Just Reboot and Enjoy.
NOTE: No wiping, before or after flashing, is required WALLPAPER CREDIT :- AEXPapers
