Changing your Moto X bootlogo (no root needed)

[jcase]

So the customized bootlogo is just a bitmap, it is stored at /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/clogo.

To back it up (root required for backup):

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/clogo of=/sdcard/clogo.bmp"

To "de-customize" the bootloader:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase clogo

To flash a new one:

fastboot flash clogo <filename>.bmp

Make sure the file is the same dimensions as the original, attached is my "PwnMyMoto" bootlogo, for reference

Nice.

Maybe one of the older nexus boot animations could be converted. Would be sweet.

Maybe it's the beer, but how do we know if it's the same dimensions?

No problem, here you go. I'll probably make more like it, just to do it.

Could we get this mod on the MAXX or new DROID line by any chance?

Looks awesome thanks!

On another note, what happened to Moto-fastboot? I mean I'm glad it's gone but figured that wouldn't ever change.

I'll have to go to my computer when I wake up, but that exact file is also in the DROID line too.

Is there a way to do this without adb? I'm having a hard time getting everything to work on my laptop.

No, you run the commands in a command prompt window, not adb. You're using adb whenever you type in "adb ...." you're using fastboot whenever you type "fastboot..." both adb and fastboot are separate executables and are in the same directory hence why typing either "adb" or "fastboot" into the same command prompt works for both functions. "adb reboot bootloader" calls the adb exe and "fastboot reboot-bootloader" calls the fastboot exe

Learn something new. Thank you.

So the answer is, "You cannot do this without a computer."

You said, "ADB", but we all knew that you meant "fastboot".

So yeah you need your computer and fastboot.

If you are having a tough time installing the android sdk you could try using "minimal adb" I think it is called?

I have tried this on the Ultra multiple times and after a few reboots it reverts back to the stock image any thoughts on stopping this or why it is happening?
