Flashing Splash FFF?

So is it possible to flash a new splash screen over the Default yellow triangle from FFF?
using
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
yields nothing.
am i missing something? or is it not possible to change FFF's splash?
Thanks!

If you wish to replace your bootloader use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500935

Hmmm. You still dident answer my question. I realize that I could brick my KF...At least tell me what partition the bootloaders stored in.

Hmmm you didn't listen doing this to your bootloader can cause a permanent brick end of story if you wish to continue speak to those who build the bootloaders
Just a side note hashcodes new bootloader has a lovely new splash screen no more yellow triangle check it out

Wow. You're not too bright. Are you? Let me break this down for you.
1. I couldn't care less if I bricked my KF
That was hard. Wasn't it?

[Q] Only Bootloader working - what to do?

My N7 turned off abruptly (no messages) while I was watching a movie (wasn't hot or anything). After that, it won't turn on. It either turns off at the Google logo, or the bootanim. I tried going into recovery, but the tablet turns off. It won't always boot up or go into bootloader (the LED doesn't flash, holding the power button doesn't do anything). When it does boot into bootloader, fastboot works, but reboot commands just turn it off. I tried flashing the newest TWRP, but that didn't change anything.
Is there anything I can do that won't erase /data?
bootloader unlocked, using slimkat 6.6 weekly, flo 32GB.

When you boot into fastboot does a computer recognize the tablet? In that case you may be able to recover the tablet

Also: do you have knowlage of fastboot commands? Have you tried flashing a custom recovery?
sent from my nex7

Yeah, fastboot works. As I said in the op, I tried flashing the newest twrp, and that changed nothing. Since my last post, the situation got worse - the tablet turns off while it's in bootloader mode, so I can't flash stock.
At this point I'm pretty sure it's a hardware fault, but I'm afraid they'll tell me my warranty is void, since I've got an unlocked bootloader.

Hmm sounds like a hardware fault. Before giving up check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546558 this is for a 2012 model but it shows that a new recovery+kernel+bootloader+ROM can all be flashed at once to recover a device.
PS: have you tried the wugfresh toolkit?
sent from my nex7

Yeah, I tried it. Didn't work because either the bootloader would turn off before anything got done, or it wouldn't turn back on after a reboot-bootloader command.
I extracted the img files from the stock archive and flashed them through fastboot manually. It took a long time because I couldn't manage to turn it on after each shutdown. Then I relocked the bootloader.
Didn't help though. Still can't reliably boot up the bootloader (once every ~10 tries, once an hour?), no matter the whole thing. And the bootloader still crashes to off after a short while.
I think I'll tinker with it until Wednesday, and then I'll try to send it for repairs/exchange.

How about the wugfresh nexus toolkit? Did you try the unroot and flash system .img?

Also: I'm pretty sure that a hard reset can fix random shutdowns and stuff like that so maybe you should try a hard reset through recovery if you're tablet will stay on long enough
sent from my nex7

Like I said a couple of times, it won't stay on long enough for the toolkit, and it won't boot up after the toolkit issues a reboot-bootloader command after the first step (flashing bootloader). I can't get into recovery, because it shuts down when I press power to select recover in the bootloader.
And it's not random reboots. It shuts down after 5 seconds in the bootloader. That has to be a hardware issue. I'm going to the retailer to exchange it tomorrow.

Yep. Sounds pretty dead to me, you should just go exchange it.

Did you all try to use the .exe or did you use the fastboot command to flash this? If this does not work for you go to the CM thread, download that recovery file and use the same fastboot command in this thread. When you download the CM clockworkmod rename it to what the command says so it should be recovery_en.img

Everyone experiencing the no recovery or the exclamation mark on the recovery screen its because you tried to run the .exe or flash the recovery with a fastboot command WHILE IN HBOOT MODE. You need to be in fastboot to do this and your device bootloader has to be unlocked before you try anything root wise.
Mine does the same thing. When it enters recovery just hit reboot device and let it start up. It charges in 2-3 hours on or off as long as the screen isn't active.
Also, ANY device that you unlock the bootloader for will say Tampered. Its HTC's way of knowing if you unlocked the device, but that doesn't mean you can't return it. It is done through HTC though and you are allowed to relock it to return it.
If your device power button stops working HTC will take it back regardless of bootloader status as that's a hardware problem. If your phone is not charging properly that isn't a bootloader problem that is the software of Android and is valid for a claim.
If you try to flash an entirely different bootloader then they'll reject your device because you went further then to just "Tamper".
If it voided warranty to unlock the bootloader there would be no root apps on the Playstore allowed.

Yes it does say the exact same thing but the message actually states:
This build is for development purposes only.
Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's permission.
Failure to comply may lead to legal action.
No worries though, this message is automatically put there by HTC after unlocking the bootloader. :laugh:

Yes.....that is the message i was talking about.......but to my side its coming even in charging mode while my phone iz off.......then directly goes into CWM mode...How about yours ??

[NEW UPDATE]:
IF YOU RECEIVE AN EXCLAMATION MARK ON THE RECOVERY SCREEN AFTER RUNNING THE .EXE THEN IT IS BECAUSE YOU NEED TO FLASH AN OLDER CLOCKWORKMOD FIRST!
POWER OFF YOUR DEVICE BY HOLDING VOLUME UP + POWER BUTTON FOR 15 SECONDS IF YOUR STUCK AND THEN POWER ON BY HOLDING VOLUME DOWN+POWER BUTTON AND YOU'LL GO BACK INTO THE BOOTLOADER.
ONCE YOUR DEVICE IS SET IN FASTBOOT USB MODE DOWNLOAD THIS FILE BELOW:
https://s.basketbuild.com/dl/devs?dl=Grarak/recovery.img
NOW SAVE THAT FILE WHERE THE ADB FOLDER / PLATFORM-TOOLS IS THAT YOU INSTALLED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO IN (Local Disk C:/adb)
ONCE THAT'S COMPLETE GO INTO THAT FOLDER AND RIGHT-CLICK IN ANY WHITE AREA OF THE FOLDER AND PRESS "RUN COMMAND LINE HERE" & RUN THE FOLLOWING COMMAND:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
REBOOT TO RECOVERY AND CONFIRM!
NOW YOU CAN RUN THE .EXE IN FASTBOOT USB MODE AGAIN OR FLASH THE RECOVERY HERE FOR THE LATEST VERSION!
Done!

Hi mbwambo, I'm not sre aboput problem you face that "Bettery sign missing and power of ur phone "..but as you told, (it's n going to Recovery mode Or Hboot) You can able the fast boot option under settings > Power . then sytem will go automaticall into normal start up instead of going into recovery or Hboot mode. i had the same problem what you have. after checked in the fast boot it's simply restarts as usual in charging or not charging status. hope this would help ur restarting issue.
I've the same tampered, but still not enter into recovery mode....u r lucky at this case...now you root ur mobile

@mbwambo:
By going into your settings and checking fastboot it will stop the device from booting into recovery if put to charge when powered off. This will show the battery icon and no red text will appear.
@Sivasr:
Try the method I just posted it will work to get into the recovery. I have had some people ask me about that same issue and that solution has worked for them. Also, make sure to uncheck fastboot in Power - Settings!

@Sivasr
To unlock it again just use the same unlock.bin file you got in the email. Then use the recovery.img file I listed or go to the CM11 thread and download the recovery from there and use that one.
After you flash that old version you can go into it from the bootloader. Just go to advanced in the recovery, reboot to bootloader, and flash the new recovery with the .exe or with the recovery file from the CWM thread.
Done
You can't flash the recovery if it's still locked you are correct. If it seems frozen use the volume keys to navigate and power button to select.

This is a glitch with the old CWM recovery. If you use the one from the CM12 thread; 6.0.5.1 CWM then you will be able to avoid this issue. Only thing is instead of it booting into recovery it won't boot unless you remove it from the power source. Lol so you win some you lose some.

Please Help! I accidentally deleted my operating system in TWRP!

So yea, I'm an idiot, was trying to do a factory reset because I was having trouble with my root and was going to start over and accidentally deleted everything including the internal storage, now it just boots into the google screen and doesn't go any further. Is there anyway to fix it or am I out of luck? I can't turn the phone off either, it is just stuck on the loading screen.

Just for ease and simplicity (to ease your mind) use this tool and go back to complete stock and start over.
Once you've done that read this and thank everyone especially @Heisenberg

1. Download platform-tools, it's in android sdk. You don't have to download the whole sdk pack.
2. unzip platform-tools , and unzip the official img file on your pc.
3. connect phone and pc, flash the official img
sadly , you may lost your data.

Hold the power button for a long time. It should stop the phone (and start it in a second), stuck in Google screen again; that's okay. While the screen is off, hold the Power + Volume Down buttons. Don't release them until you get in the bootloader. You will see a green android lying down with a bunch of options. From there you can flash factory images, continue root or do anything you wish.

if you can reboot into recovery, you can flash everything from there. Press and hold power + vol down for 10 sec to go into bootloader and select recovery from there.
If you somehow ALSO wiped recovery, use ADB following the Nexus 5X how to root etc thread
PS, your data is all gone if you wiped sys and internal storage,

No sound, no SIM detected

Hi all,
I apologize if opening a new thread as first post but I did that after an extensive research and I noticed the questions in the sticky are 4 days old.
I purchased a soft bricked Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML Z00AD for fairly cheap as I needed a decent dual-sim phone.
Initially it was just stuck on the first asus screen and nothing more - not even spinning wheel. It would not go in recovery mode with vol+ and power, nor vibrate.
Tried to adb / fastboot but even when adb was listing the device ok, fastboot would just say "Waiting for device"
Leaving the phone connected to PC I noticed it was rebooting by itself after a few minutes and leaving it alone for about 15 mins it went in a TWRP 3.0.0.0 screen - was probably installed before....
From there I wiped everything and managed to install latest image that I downloaded from Asus site - UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.183-user.zip by using an SD card. Nothing else installed
The phone booted up just fine after this - I had some troubles with the Asus Cover screen going on/off every second but I managed to turn it off - proximity sensor and light sensor tested ok. It is not rooted now.
I have a few problem though and I need your expertise and advice.
1. There is absolutely no sound from it. Speaker test in normal and Safe mode stays silent. There is sound through the headset.
2. I does not detect any SIM card in either Slot 1 or 2
2. Screen never goes off unless I press the power button - display set to 1 min and lock to swipe.
3. Storage only shows 16Gb while it should show 64GB
Given the issue described I would suspect this is still a firmware/software issue but I would like someone with experience to confirm and hopefully advise a few steps.
Thanks!

Can you get into bootloader now?

I agree that this sounds like a software issue and if it was my phone I would take the following steps.
1. hard reset
2. Download the pre rooted software that shakalaka provides, you'll find it in the thread for flashing from cn to ww in this forum it also gives all instructions for downloading, prep & flashing.
3. Flash through bootloader everything but the bootloader
4. Reboot and it should work fine, this is the procedure I have always had to follow whenever my Zenny won't find the Sim card.
5. Let us know how that worked for you?
Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

yes I can - TWRP is still active - I installed an older firmware from Asus website - 139 but the cover flicker is much worse and I got it stuck on now
I have to reload it again
Thanks for the tip = I will try that as well if older firmware fails too
Edit - older firmware did not fix anything - trying your route next
EDIT2 - after another 3h on 2 PC's still cant make fastboot to work. I will try tomorrow on another one

What are you getting with fastboot? Error msg? You need to flash .183, if you want to flash earlier you have to change the boot loader to earlier edition

so far I tried:
UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.183-user.zip - the only one usable with the original problems - sound, SIM, storage space, screen
UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.139-user.zip - Asus cover flicker makes it aamost imposible to reach the normal screen
UL-Z00A-WW-2.12.40.11-user.zip - not booting - stuck at first android screen then rebooting itself until it goes in TWRP
cm-13.0-20160512-NIGHTLY-Z00A.zip - won't install from TWRP
things got worse though
Used xFSTK - and after a few unsuccessful tries I got stuck on the TV 4 color screen with no bootloader anymore and cannot reach fastboot anymore and TWRP is gone. FW will load in xFSTK but not the OS image - seems problem is more common - and the issue is that there is no proper file with signature for my Z00AD available anywhere.
I tried Asus Flash tool as well - there are only 3 raw images I was able to find but none will match the device and it will not show up.
Also tried Intel Flash tool - That will see the phone but could not find any flash.xml for it.
Now I don't have any way to use adb and will have to wait until a proper droidboot_dnx.img.POS_sign.bin or .raw image is released somewhere...
If I find any other solution I will post it here

I do not understand why you continued to try to flash a zip through twrp, I specifically told you that it would not work and you have now made fastboot, you're only way to solve this problem, inaccessible. If you have any hope of rescuing now it will have to be with flashing the raw image, but frankly I think you have little possibility of that working now.... situations such as yours can almost never be solved with recovery, you almost always have to use fastboot, so good luck, I have no other solutions and you are likely in need of a new device.
