Custom bootlogo for Exynos 7420 devices

[GOIGIG]

/dev/block/platform/15570000.ufs/by-name/PARAM is a GNU tar archive, which contains the initial bootlogo image and we can safely modify those images

In theory could we package the gnu Tar file to be flashed via odin? Sorry I'm flooding the page. I appreciate the help guys again. I'm just thinking maybe I can adb into the (dev/block/platform/15570000.ufs/by-name/PARAM) and try to replace the file I just don't know what command

If you examine arter97's update-binary file in his install zip, you will see how he changes the bootlogo.
If you can adb into your phone, then maybe you can replicate his commands with your PARAM.bak file.

How can I ADB in download mode? Is it possible?

You have to get into recovery.

I do not know Odin well enough to answer your question. I rarely use Odin.

I hate to say I'm glad I'm not alone. But I kind of am. Maybe we can figure this out. I posted a thread. How unfortunate maybe we should put a warning to make sure people resize everything first for next time

I know how horrible it was when I faced this problem man, but I am here to Tell you that I FINALLY SAVED MY PHONE

all you need to do is to flash FULL FIRMWARE (in this guide) corresponding to your phone's Model Number (N290C in my case) and THAT'S IT!!

it booted without any problems but It will WIPE everything. but it's still better than throwing away your phone! Hope that helps solve your issue too. let me know how it goes!

Stock ROM Odin available on sammobile likely won't fix this as it doesn't have param.bin file.
Try getting a factory image files which should contaon param file will fix it. Do you have backup pf PARAM.bak which created by flashing custom bootanimation? if yes attache here, i will try making tar file to flash it using odin. and use at you own risk.
BTW what is device variant?

I have the note 5 tmobile version and I do not have a backup because I can't get into the device. In theory could you use anyone's? As far as tmobile ? I'll try it if I can get the PIT and PAC rom downloaded. In theory will those have the param.bim

Let me check index of both N920i (mine) and N910t. If both ar identical then i will give tar file from my backup. give me 10min

I am greatly appreciative, thank you for your time and effort

Ok I don't see any difference so If you want to try at your own risk I'll provice you tar file from my backup and you need to flash using odin.

Thank you, I will try honestly the only thing that can happen is it will fail at this point and Im backto needing the pit/pac rom. If it bricks it my bad. I will give it a shot, I know someone else has the issue if theres a quick fix Ill bite the bullet for us:good:

Honestly i don't see any possibility it can cause more damage anyway updating files and instructions here in 15min.

You don't think it would cause damage? or it could? Sorry I may have just read wrong, either way... I'll try it haha. Thank you again I'll donate something for your time. should I use the AP tic in odin3.10.7?

 

[dr.ketan]

I don't think it will cause further damage.
Anyway here is files and instructions.

Download attached zip and extract it. You will get two files.

1.Flash N920_Param.tar.md5 with Odin with AP tab
Check if issue solved.
If NOT
2.Select other N920T.pit for PIT tab in odin and other file same as above (NOTE : THIS PIT IS FOR N920T and shouldn't use on other device. For other device you should flash PIT from your device)


Edit : Reported working with flashing just param file (step 1.)
