[GUIDE][Redmi 4 Pro/Prime] How to Change Boot Logo (Splash Screen)

[GokulNC]

Note:
This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the 'Mi' boot logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)
This is for Redmi 4 Pro/Prime Only (which has 1080x1920 resolution)..
For Redmi 4 or 4A, please send your device's splash.img as given in link below.
(For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.)

Requirements:
1. Rooted Redmi 4 Pro/Prime (any ROM)
2. Optional: Terminal Emulator app or Custom Recovery or atleast working fastboot in computer
3. You're proceeding at your own risk.

STEPS to create splash.img:

1. Download & Extract this in computer: Redmi_4_Prime_Pro_Splash_Maker.zip

2. Make sure you have a picture with resolution 1080x1920px.

3. Now copy your picture inside "pics" folder and rename your picture as logo.png or logo.jpg (according to its format).

4. Finally, run the 'CREATE_LOGO.bat' to create splash.img and flashable zip file, which you can find inside the "output" folder after completion.

STEPS to flash splash.img:

Optional: To backup your original splash.img:

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash of=/sdcard/splash.img

(Not necessary though.. You may get it from the stock firmware itself.)

Now, Choose any one easy method:

a. To flash from recovery:
Transfer the flashable_splash.zip to your device and flash from TWRP or CWM or Philz or any other custom recovery.

b. To flash from Terminal Emulator:
Transfer the splash.img to your device's Internal Storage, Open Terminal Emulator & enter the following to flash it:

su
dd if=/sdcard/splash.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash

c. To flash from Fastboot mode:

fastboot flash splash splash.img

Note:
Incase something goes wrong or device doesn't bootup, flash the stock splash.img from custom recovery or fastboot.

Nice. Do I need re-flash everytime I change rom?
And where can I find stock splash.img in my device?

 

[ishehad]

Works great!
(I put a personal picture, so I prefer not upload an example, but it came out great).

I never dreamed that suddenly pop up an official guide for my model,
And certainly i never dreamed that the credit I deserve.
All credit goes to you!

Thank you very much! :good:

I'm try this guide on my redmi 4 prime… but why the end bootsplash no change…?? Still mi.com…

I followed the steps carefully, i'll say that this works like charm!

 

[lance551107]

um... How do you think it would apply to redmi note4x?

 

[DryEagle]

Assuming yes to both, as this is before we get to system startup, but:
1) this will work regardless of rom?
2) this will work on encrypted phone?

Built custom splash screen and flashed on stock rom, it worked fine. Dirty flashing Epic ROM didn't replaced splash screen, can't say about fastboot flash.
