Just a simple TWRP Flashable BootSplash Zip for example to replace the warnings when you unlocked/rooted your device.
It will open up_param.bin and repack it with the jpg,s inside the zip.
Simply replace svb_orange.jpg , logo.jpg and booting_warning.jpg with a jpg of your own choice.
Make sure the images don't exceed 500kb, and keep exact same resolution (1440x3040 24bbp)

Installation method with terminal command without TWRP (pushing up_param.bin using dd cmd on phone):
Download up_param.bin
Place in root of internal memory

Open terminal on phone like Material Terminal for example:

command:
su

command:
dd if=/sdcard/up_param.bin of=/dev/block/platform/13d60000.ufs/by-name/up_param

Restore Stock ZIP
Or rename the up_param.bak on your SD into up_param.bin and use the dd cmd method to restore it.

Thx for the feedback and unknowingly being my guinea pig, or labrat.. Whatever you prefer :)
Couldn't test it myself but it worked on my S10+ and basically they have the same bootloader to an extent but still.

It's nice that you already have screen S10 but I would prefer without Magisk. It is possible?

Edit.
It's ok. I used Paint and removed the Magisk stamp. Now it's fun because my wife looked at the phone strangely when he restarted and saw this warning triangle and exclamation points asking if I ruined my phone ha h

Before I install this, how do I revert to stock if I want/need to? Do the originals get backed up, and if so how do I restore them (other than reinstalling the whole firmware)?

Rename up_param.bak on your SD card and rename up_param.bin.
Then you can push it back with the dd su command in OP

Not booting.

Hi Dev.

So i made a few changes to the images and flashed the zip file with twrp.
This did not work and now my phone is stuck at black screen not even booting, is there a way to flash the recovery zip via odin since that is the only thing I can boot into.

Thank you.

You can try flashing BL file from firmware zip with just up-param file in it with Odin.
Or your patched firmware fully with Home CSC to restore it without loosing data.


Not sure what you did to the zip to end up like this though.

When I try to download the up_param.bin from the OP I get following error:

https://www.whiskey103.nl/index1.php?dir=SamsungS10-Plus/BootSplash/s10/
Incorrect format for file ./languages/da.txt on line 7.
Format is "variable name[tab]value"

No problem downloading the Restore Stock zip


*********************************
Ok I managed to download the up_param.bin using Tor.
When I place the file in Internal Storage (NOT Root or SDcard) and type the commands using Material Terminal I get error:
No such file or directory???

But it should be in root of internal storage. Not sure where you placed it.

No idea what you are trying, nobody reported that it isn't working.
You must be placing it in the wrong place.
Should be in root of INTERNAL SD card.

I've been an idiot as always.

Flashing BL works however then one ends up with "custom recovery..." error.
So to fix this I had to flash full patched rom with CSC HOME and then when booted to recovery wipe dalvik, cache and system partition leaving data and internal storage and then after that I flashed my custom rom.

Once booted. It was if I never had any issues.:eek:

After doing ` dd if=/sdcard/up_param.bin of=/dev/block/platform/soc/1d84000.ufshc/by-name/up_param ` i got feedback:
3215+0 records in
3215+0 records out
1646080 bytes transferred in 0.019 secs (86635789 bytes/sec)

Rebooting and i see no changes
