You can customize your Boot Splash Picture
(This is the first picture you see when you boot up your device, before the boot animation starts. The one you also see before booting into recovery.)
I have done this for every device I owned so far, plus a few I did't own. Until now they have all been HTC devices. Today I added the Xiaomi 9T Pro / K20 Pro.
If you have your bootloader unlocked and have a custom recovery (tested only on twrp-3.3.1-15-raphael), you can create you own custom boot splash using this Boot Splash Creator tool.
How to do it:
Upload a picture to the online boot splash zip generator (http://jobiwan.net:81/bootsplash-9tpro). (If your picture is not 1080x2340 it will be resized while retaining proportions.)
It generates and downloads a flashable .zip file,
Flash the resulting .zip file in recovery.
Alternatively, you can take the logo.img file from the cache directory inside the .zip file and flash it in fastboot:
fastboot flash logo logo.img
Disclaimer:
You have unlocked and rooted your device, and flashed custom recoveries, so by now you should know that you have nobody to blame but yourself.
Anyway: This tool is provided as is, with no warranty whatsoever. If you brick your device, I will feel sad for you but I will not be responsible.
How it works:
I took the logo.img file from a firmware zip. This is a 24M file that contains 4 bitmaps:
The MI logo
The fastboot logo
The MI logo with unlocked at the bottom
System has been destroyed logo
Each one is 1080x1920, 24bpp.
This tool converts your picture into a 1080x2340 bitmap and replaces the raw image data in the original logo.img file with the raw image data from your picture.
It replaces bitmaps 1 and 3, the MI and MI unlocked logo's. Fastboot and Destroyed logo's remain original.
Then it puts this patched logo.img file into a zip with an updater script that puts it into the logo partition. This .zip file gets sent back to your browser.
Back to stock:
The attached .zip files are recovery flashable. They contain the stock boot splashes for raphael and raphaelin respectively. (I put the original logo.img files in them.) So if you ever want the stock splash back, you can flash this.
('extracted-bitmaps.zip' is not flashable. It contains the original logo's as .bmp files.)
Share & Enjoy!
If you create any cool splashes, that others might like, please post them in this thread with a pictures and zips.

Update Oct. 16, 2019: Online tool now generates 1080x2340 plash images.
Nice
Can I use this on K20 Pro Raphaelin?

[edit:]Yes you can. See post below this one.[/edit]
I can not say for 100% sure, because I do not own a raphaelin device to test with.
However, I strongly believe that you can do it. Here is why:
I looked at the logo.img files from a raphael and raphaelin firmware zip.
They are not the same: They have the bitmaps at different offsets. But the structure is the same. They both have the signature and index at the same offset (0x4000 or 16k) and the addresses of the bitmaps are int he same place in the index.
This is from V10.3.3.0.PFKEUXM:
Code:
00004000 4c 4f 47 4f 21 21 21 21 05 00 00 00 ef 05 00 00 |LOGO!!!!........|

00004030 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................|
It has the bitmaps at 0x0005000, 0x05f4000, 0x0be3000, 0x11d2000
This is from V10.3.5.0.PFKINXM:
Code:
00004000 4c 4f 47 4f 21 21 21 21 05 00 00 00 3b 07 00 00 |LOGO!!!!....;...|

00004030 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................|
It has the bitmaps at 0x0005000, 0x0740000, 0x0d2f000, 0x146a000
After confirming this, I felt confident / brave / stupid enough to flash the logo.img from the raphaelin firmware into my raphael. When I rebooted, it showed the Redmi logo and everything was fine.
So since flashing the raphaelin logo in a raphael device is safe and works fine, I would think that the reverse is also true.
If you or anyone with an Indian K20 have done this, please report back.

Thanks for confirming. That's good to know.
I have added a zip with the stock logo for raphaelin to the original post.
-Jobo
Here is a boot splash plus boot animation that go well together.
They are the same style and the first (and last) frame of the animation is the same as the splash.
The boot animation is not recovery flashable. You have to manually copy it to /system/media/

Do you have the raw files of the 4 bitmaps inside the original logo.img of K20 Pro? Because I can't extract it and I want to get the original bitmaps/stock logos and start edit on it. Thanks
ispiyaakoe said:

Yes. I have added them as an attachment to the first post, in 'extracted-bitmaps.zip'.
Inside the .zip are 8 .bmp files. euX.bmp are from European firmware, inX.bmp are from Indian firmware.
Interestingly, the bitmaps in the Indian firmware are not all the same size.
The 'normal' logo's are 1080x2340 while the 'fastboot' and 'destroyed' logo's are 1080x1920.
I think I will change my online tool to generate 1080x2340 splashes instead of 1080x1920.
Edit: Done. Online tool now generates 1080x2340 plash images.
Thank you very much! You are awesome.
There is a crop up and down at 1080p images. Other than that is working properly!!! Thx!

I have updated the online tool to generate 1080x2340 images instead of 1080x1920. This fills the entire screen.
(It also no longer distorts the image when stretching. It now scales the image proportionally for best fit and puts it on a 1080x2340 black background.)
Originally I made them 1080x1920 because that's how they are in the PFKEUXM firmware.
Only after looking into the Indian K20 Pro firmware did I find out that it also works with full 1080x2340 bitmaps.
Here is Google black boot logo + black android 10 bootanimation. Bootanimation is only for AOSP ROMs.

Xiaomi Bunny pics
I took the images from this set: http://vkclub.su/en/stickers/xiaomi/
..and converted them to boot splash zips.
(On that site, it says the Author / Illustrator is 'Xiaomi'...)
It is the same creature that we have on our stock fastboot logo. I think they were originally meant as emoticons. Some of them have some text (in what seems to be Russian) in very dark grey. I first overlaid the images on this same dark grey color and then turned that dark grey into black. This gets rid of the text.
Attached to this post are:
The 16 images where I put the original pictures on a black background,
The original pictures in originals.zip
The flashable bootsplash zips are inside zips-000-007.zip and zips-008-015.zip
I put the 16 bootsplash zips inside 2 new zips to get around the 20 attachments per post limit.
This means they are fairly large. You can also just download individual pictures and run those through the tool.
(So just to clarify: Those 2 large zips are not flashable. They each contain 8 other zips that are flashable.)

Silhouette of trees against winter evening sky
I took this picture about 10 years ago. Since then I have used it as a wallpaper on every computer and phone I used. I think it goes really well with a dark theme.
Now I made a boot splash and boot animation based on this picture. They are the original 9T-Pro splash and animation, but with this photo as the background.
By default, the lock screen takes the center of the wallpaper (when you select 'Apply Both'), which is the same cut-out I use as the background for the splash and boot animation.
Attachments:
bootsplash-9tpro-trees.zip
This is a recovery flashable zip that replaces your boot splash.
bootanimation.zip
This zip is not flashable You have to put it in /system/media/
(This is an external link, not an attachment. The file was too large to attach.)
trees-wall.jpg.zip
This is the full resolution wallpaper 3120x2340 (zipped)
trees-boot.jpg
This is a picture of the boot splash.
trees-small.jpg
This is a small, lower quality version of the picture inside trees-wall-jpg.zip. Just as a preview.

thanks for the help, but..
nbf it's not an archive. if you try to open with winrar it will open like an unknown file...it needs to be decoded and opened with a hex editor I think...
I think you have to use HTC64_Extended_ROM_Tool.exe to decode your nk.nbf file, you will obtain nk.fat and nk.prj. Keep nk.fat, rename to os.nb and go on with imgfstools. I hope it works in this way.

I've tested this steps with a HTC Universal rom and it worked, then you can extract the os.nb file in a veru simple way with Bepe's "dumprom.exe", after this use PackageTool and you will have SYS and OEM folders.

sorry but, it can't work with this file...if i do directly with dumprom with the nbf i can extract 2.02 mb of files (i think the bootloader cause the list of files names are all similar boot*...something).
If i use htc64 doesn't work at all...it makes an error extracting just 512 kb...without any sense...
please could you try with this file, if i make some errors...?

SOLUTION!
Ok,
I've downloaded your file and tested. To extract the os.nb do this steps:
1) open your os_213U.nbf with an Hex-editor, from the start you will see this:
Code:
[COLOR="red"]4E 35 36 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 32
2E 31 33 2E 30 30 30 31 20 45 4E 47 00 00 D7 07
58 F3 00 00 0C 02 00 00 04 80[/COLOR] E9 FD FF 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
2) cut all these red bytes, then your file will start as this:
Code:
E9 FD FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
3) save this file as "os.nb", then you will go on with dumprom or imgfstool!
That's ALL!
I think that you can edit your rom and at the end you have to reinsert those red bytes at the beginning of your new rom and rename to .nbf.

Hi guys,
i started some research a while ago on the internal structure of flash memory on the G9 series.
Especially the parts that are involved to tell the kernel how to behave on different models.
I am talking about the FTAG section, a.k.a tags.
To get a better idea on how this file is organized, i need to compare different tags files from the rawfs section of our devices.
This is where i need your help.
Please copy the file /mnt/rawfs/tags and post it here.
It's only 512 bytes in size, so you might rename it to tags_model.bin and post it here.
I mostly would need the tags from the turbo models:
- A80G9 turbo
- A101G9 turbo
RAM size does'nt matter but would be nice to mark it, if you got a 1GByte device.
EDIT:
Here's what i tried to figure out so far (A80G9 with 8GB)...

now with the turbo flag and other additional flags...

As i said the file is 512 Bytes in size and i tried to group the FTAGS based on the header from the kernel (/arch/arm/include/asm/feature_list.h).
Some entries make no sense yet... but if you post some of your files.
BTW, as you might see there's no turbo flag on my device yet
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi!
Here's the tag file of my archos:
Model: Archos 80G9 1.5GHz 1GByte RAM 16GByte
hmm
remote object '/mnt/rawfs/tags' does not exist

I'll provide A101s tags file (512 MB 1 GHz) tomorrow
BTW- max cpu clock is determined by cpu microcode, kernel checks this AFAIK
Sent from my Archos Gen9 101
Psh I hate that android needs su to copy a file scholbert I might flash rooted firmware later, do you need A80G9 omap4460, 1gb ram, 8gb flash?

Hey,
thanks a lot for the feedback and the tags files.
Of course you need root access to access /mnt/rawfs.
I forgot to mention that obviously...

Yupp that's how it mainly works out... but there's also an effect of the FTAG_TURBO on stock kernel, if we speak about clocking.
That's why i started this investigations.
Those device that came equipped with OMAP4430 high perforamnce version but got standard 1GHz could be easily transformed to turbo version by exchanging the flags file, i guess. No need to use a custom kernel, here.
Root access would be required though.
I'll check that out in the next days and describe the procedure here, if there's some interest.

Thanks a lot for this file.
As you see in the attached pic, your device got the turbo flag set.
On the left it's my 1GHz device, on the right it's your 1.5GHz.
BTW, which processor is inside your device?
I guess it's a 4460, isn't it?
Anyway the arrangement of the turbo flag was, what i looked for in the first place.
There are other settings which could be interesting as well...
Stay tuned!

It has to be- 4430 Turbo models were clocked at 1.2GHz (and had 512MB ram)
Here is my contribution to your research.
This comes from a 101G9 1.5ghz Turbo with 512mb ram. It says board version A101S-V5 (T1) and omap version 4460 ES1.1 if that helps.

DIY turbo tablet
Hey,
good news everyone. I was able to replace my standard tags file with a turbo one
It just worked...
Now my standard device is clocked at 1.2GHz right away, even with stock kernel
It's a little bit tricky though and if you like your device tuned up most please follow surdu_petru's way and use his overclock kernel.
First i found out that the tags file varies a little bit even on devices of the same series.
Seems to be related to the avboot version used on the pad.
Anyway, tags file is located in the 771st block of mmcblk0.
All steps could be done using Android terminal program. You'll need root access.
The rawfs partition should be unmounted first, to not confuse the kernel in any way.
Afterwards there's only 512bytes to be replaced and voilà
If you like more info please tell me, but beware... if something goes wrong you might easily brick your tablet.
EDIT:
The device now shows up as A80S-V5 (T1) in Settings->About tablet->Board version.
I guess this stands for turbo version 1 ([email protected], 512MB RAM)
Could anyone confirm this on a "real" turbo device?
What other versions are known?
Cheers,
scholbert

Did you have a chance to compare A101S tags files?

Hi gen_scheisskopf!

Basically no problem it's the same thing for the A101S.
As you posted a tags file from a A101S, i guess it's from your tablet.
Problem is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27648801&postcount=17
Especially the second part related to the A101...
I supsect the missing core regulator being the cause for some instabilities on some A101S, while overclocking.
So if we tweak your tags file to identify the board as turbo, it will boot with 1.2GHz as well. If this fails, you're in a boot loop which would be hard to fix...
Have you tried surdu_petru's overclock kernel already?
Is your tablet stable at 1.2GHz?
If it runs stable at 1.2GHz we could try tweaking tags...

scholbert

Yes, I've seen this.
Is there a possibility to determine onboard hardware (power regulator) using board revision (V5 in my case) or it is the same for all devices?
I didn't check if .aos updates make changes to tags file (they can change params file for sure- plugins)

I still use 3.2.80 firmware, my Gen9 doesn't "like" ICS/3.x kernel (runs much hotter than on 2.6.3x, random system hangs and last but not least- vibrator support not included). And TBH I don't need overclocking but if there would be an option to underclock it without SetCPU/No Frills CPU Control....

To be honest, i'm not sure if the board revision truly indicates, which parts are soldered on the mainboard.
AFAIK V5 boards are very common... and as far as i can tell A80S and A101S mainboards are nearly the same.
The TPS62361B is controlled by I2C, so maybe you find something in kernel messages or sysfs.
You can tell for sure if you got your device dismantled

AFAIK the tags file is left untouched during updates.
It is set by factory and scholbert only

i'm working on a software to change oem and channel id for windows store (8.0, maybe 8.1...)
i've managed to see surface pick, or lenovo pick on my asus vivotab, but i don't know other oem channel ID.
in order o make a database, i need help !
could you go to: (win+R)
%localappdata%\Packages\WinStore_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC\Microsoft\Windows Store\Cache\0
and post in reply this file with your pc model in comment :

thank you, if you replace 09 AA 98 by 97 C5 98 for exemple you willhave access to samsung picks.... but i can't download from oem store for now...
My Surface RT only have file "0-Channel-https∺∯∯next-services.apps.microsoft.com∯browse∯6.2.9200-1∯670∯Channel∯Surface%20RT.dat"

That all from it.
That file is a binary data file. Opening it notepad doesnt represent the actual data (although it does attempt to parse it as plain text anyway).
I'd love to be able to use this to install Nokia's proprietary apps onto my Surface... please make this happen!

I would like to understand more about this protocol. Was it created by Qualcomm? Sony/Ericsson?
What tools use this protocol? I understand that Androxyde's FlashTool is supposed to do the right thing when it finds this in a .ta file packed within an .ftf file, but FlashTool is huge, and I don't like the idea of reading all of its source code just to find the parts that relate to this protocol.
The Config Data Description URL above is broken; metadoc.sonyericsson.net no longer exists. Is the referenced document still available somewhere? Is there any other documentation?
I just tried my luck googling Markus Strandh at Ericsson and found this profile at LinkedIn. Job desription says
Senior Sw Architect at Sony Mobile Communications

. So he might as well be the author of the document. And if he is he might know where to find that file you're looking for.
In case you don't have a LinkedIn account let me know
Thanks. I don't do LinkedIn, but I might try to find his contact info once I know a little more.
I'm hoping someone here (@munjeni? @Androxyde?) can chime in with which programs are known to apply these files.
I found munjeni's newflasher today. The source code is far easier to understand than Flashtool, and although it doesn't answer all my questions, it does help reveal how these bootloader config files are supposed to be applied to a device. Nice.
