[THEME][BOOTLOADER] Hacker bootloader theme for Shamu Nexus 6

[konradit]

Hi,

My project is to make the bootloader on the Nexus 6 a little bit more "entertaining".
The bootloader has now file names and a "hacking in progress" message. Also, it includes the new Google logo (2015 logo) and Fsociety logo for the true h4x0rs out there.

• 
  Installing the theme
• Make sure ADB drivers are installed, and that you can run fastboot command
• Then go to the download link and download the zip, unzip it, cd to the folder of the desired logo and do: fastboot flash logo [logo]-hacker-bootloader.bin
• Then reboot to bootloader again
• And check it out!

Question

Can I using this bootloader theme to android final preview?

 

[konradit]

I dont think so...

Pretty cool! Is there a "factory" version available somewhere if I ever decide to revert the mod?

Flash the stock bootloader from a google factory image

These look awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I'm having a bit of an issue getting it to work, though. I have ADB and fastboot set up and fully functional on my laptop, but every time I try to flash one of the themes it gives me this error:
<bootloader> invalid boot image
FAILED <remote failure>

To be honest, I didn't follow the directions exactly as written. Instead of CD'ing into the folder I just moved the one I wanted into platform-tools, fired up command prompt, and entered my commands. I'm currently running the 71.10 bootloader (yes, it is unlocked).

Edit #2 - I took a closer loot at your pictures and it looks like you're using the 71.05 bootloader. I'm assuming that it's required for this to work?

Stupid question...how do I CD to a folder??

I just updated to latest Marshmallow bootloader and confirmed working (Looks awesome, although i think i'd prefer the android unlock logo to either be the default image or a hash # image). Also, i dont believe it matters the BL, as its only replacing the LOGO file inside it.

As for your first question, the Fastboot instructions posted in OP is correct. The Fastboot instructions on GitHub and in the ReadMe file inside the zip you dl are NOT. The correct command is "fastboot flash logo [change_to_logo_name]-hacker-bootloader.bin" (without the quotes).
I got your error because i copy pasted and didnt notice it said "fastboot flash boot..."
It needs to be "flashboot flash logo..."

Stupid question...how do I CD to a folder??

Use the command "cd x" (where x = folder name)
Alternatively to go back or up a folder use "cd.."
type either command w/o the quotes.
For further help, i suggest you use google search to become more familiar w/ moving to different folders using command prompt/terminal.

Fsociety logo

Looks awesome!! Im rocking the Fsociety logo (Mr Robot FTW!)

Any chance you could make alternatives of that one w/ the BL unlock icon to either be the default unlock image or a hash (#) image?? If not thats ok, just wondering

 

[konradit]

Hash logo? OK will do

Thanks! That worked perfectly. Rocking the F Society logo now

Does this overwrite just the logo or the entire bootloader? I'm on the 6.0 release.

Not trying to be rude, however the post I wrote earlier (as well as the quoted one above yours) states that only the LOGO is changed. It ALSO states that I'm am on the official M bootloader and that I confirmed it working.

Nice work. I can definitely appreciate tho work. I've done a couple myself and we made a bliss logo , drawback for me was fastboot. My last resort. Lol So if there is a way around it ill find it. If you plan on continuing and interested I have a zip.

************************************************************************************************************
This is the third time i have said it is confirmed working on the LATEST MARSHMALLOW BOOTLOADER!!
Again for everyone in this thread, THIS DOES NOT REPLACE THE BOOTLOADER AND WILL FAIL TO FLASH (not brick phone, just wont flash). IT ONLY REPLACES THE LOGO.

EDIT: @toxicpaulution, it's a good laugh if you're joking.

Either one will work, as long as you can run fastboot commands. I suggest booting the phone into Fastboot, then running the command "fastboot devices" in CMD or Terminal to test if your machine sees the phone connected to it (you should see a serial number printed after the command completes)
