Hi! I havn't seen any custom boot logos for A 2017 series yet, so I thought I could start.

!!THIS IS ONLY FOR A520F!!

It's all based on work from @moluntic (Thanks for awesome script) Check out original thread and read about how to recover if anything goes wrong, and give him a thanks! Also thanks to @bassbounce for confirming param location.

I don't own this device myself so I havn't been able to test, but I've done the same for A310F without any trouble.
Files are double checked and should work fine.

This partition is not included in official samsung updates so I include it as a tar,md5

Original param.bin :View attachment SM-A520F-Param.tar.zip
Unzip and flash tar.md5

I also include stock bootlogo as flashable zip.

logo.jpg Stock

inv-logo.jpg Inverted

blk-hollow-logo.jpg Hollow Black

Flash in TWRP and reboot :)

If I want to use your zip on my A3 (A320FL) I just need to replace the picture with one that's for my resolution or there's something else to change?
I understand that you've used it on MM.

Yes, it should be fine just replacing the logo.jpg inside the zip. The path to param should be the same.
It should also work fine on both MM and N.
Make sure that it has same resolution, dpi etc as the original logo in param partition, otherwise you'll only be able to boot to download mode.
Another thing to keep in mind is to keep filesize small. Original logo is only about 44kb.
I make my 720x1280 logos with max size 130-150kb for A3(16). This makes it somehow limited since you need pretty high compression. Easy to get banding on gradient etc. If I make them bigger I sometimes get troubles with random reboots.
It's also a good idea to keep a tar'ed param.bin to flash in odin in case something goes wrong with the new logo.
It have saved my phone more than once :)

I've just tried it, original has 720x1280, 96dpi, 24 bits image and is created using PS CS6, and mine logo, for some reason (even though all the stuff is the same, except that it's 20kB), results in black screen and soft brick... Odin surely saves lives.
Any idea what went wrong?

All the specs seem to match so.. hmm.. only thing I can think of is if the image is saved as progressive.
You get any option for normal/progressive in save dialog? Try non progressive.
I've used gimp and corel paintshop pro and they both got that option.

Yup, I've missed that. Saved this time as non-progressive and works nicely! Thanks!

@tys0n - I can't get these files to work.

I want the hollow boot logo. Pretty sure I'm missing something but can't think what!!

I have flashed the file through TWRP, but the original logo appears.
I have tried ODIN flashing param.bin then TWRP flash logo zip, but again...nothing.

Any help?

Is this Mod compatible with Oreo update (A520F)? Can I flash it safely?
