That's the problem. Like I said, this is similar on most devices, but often not the same. I derived it from the Atrix, so I know it is possible, but the partition name might not be the same. you can try just "logo" for the name, but I would check out the atrix forum (and google) for the propper solution. I believe the image is created the same way, it is just a matter of how to get it to the device.

Let me know if you need any more help!

I'm not really sure what you are asking. All you are doing is flashing it with fastboot, so if the fastboot executable and the file are in the same place, it is easier, since you don't have to type the whole file path out. And, this only uses fastboot, you shouldn't need adb for anything.

i asked this here yesterday and got some good responces, so thank you, i then figured out how to do it, and was shocked at how easy it was. This is the logo i set now.

here is the bin file to flash if you like mine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yye2cnbezuwwxcu/logo.bin below are the steps to create your own super easily. If anyone does not have photoshop, feel free to pm me your image and i'll do the tweaks so you can flash it.

1. Create a 540x540 image
2. Merge into 1 layer
3. Go to the channel mixer (image > adjustments > channel mixer)
4.select red output channel and change the red value to 0 and the blue value to 100
5. Select the blue channel and change red to 100 and blue to 0
6. Hit ok, note that the colors will look weird now, but will show correctly on the phone
7. Save image with .raw extension
8. Rename the output file to logo.bin
9. To make things easier, move it to the same folder as fastboot so that you will not have to type directory names, or you can type out the whole directory.
10. Turn off your phone and turn on while holding both volume buttons, chose ap fastboot
11. Open a command window in the same folder as fastboot and type

Code:

fastboot flash logo.bin logo.bin

it will take a second or two, then when it succeeds, reboot to see your new logo!

I believe the process is totally different with that phone. I would suggest checking the corresponding forum

You are simply flashing it with fastboot. If you are gonna do this stuff, I would recommend you get familiar with fastboot and working with command line in general.

Anyways, just open a command prompt window in the same folder as fastboot and type fastboot flash logo.bin "name of your image.bin"

Hi there,
I need to know how I can edit my existing bootloader. As u see I have rooted my phone (QMobile noir A10 same as micro max canvas2 A110)
As I installed some custom rom,cone rom bootloader got struck so I trying to fix it I install another bootloader.zip n well now that is struck n wouldn't remove when I install a new custom rom.
So any idea how to remove that so the proper logo image comes before the animation logo of the custom rom.

And any idea how to fix my shut down charging battery icon as it is replace by a small weird lcolour line n goes black.
