I see you have good taste! Get Fontimizer @ the market for free and look for the font "TitilliumText22L001". There are thicker version of it as well - if you have trouble reading with that font.
Ontopic: Didn't work, but ill just wait for Cyanogen and use UOT Thanks!

Thank for shared

So Beautiful.. thanks for share

cek PM please

I love it so much! Thanks!

Sorry for bumping this I just couldn't find anything more updated.
I tried both ways and got trouble with them.
Tried to copy the file using Boot Explorer but was denied due to privileges.
Installed the SDK but had no idea how to use it.
Would anyone mind explaining how to enable the option of copying the file into the system folder or how to use the SDK software?
Thanks,
Sam.

boot explorer or root explorer ?
try this
- open root explorer /system/media
- tap the Mount R/W button at the top so that it reads Mount R/O instead.
- copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media
- reboot

It's Root Explorer, sorry about that.
And thanks, I was able to paste the file in the folder but nothing changed...
The folder has two .qmg files called "bootani.qmg" abd "samsungani.qmg"...
Do these have to be moved/deleted or something?

Why does the boot animation not complete?
the android logo(the text one) didn't appear or just skipped to the home screem after the boot?
Sorry for my bad english.

Guess it's gonna take another post...
The providers' logo is gone but the screen remains blank.
Is it because I did something wrong or is it due to a timing mishap (startup too short for the animation? - If so, where could I find shorter ones?)

This is a Step by Step guide to update from Lollipop build N920AUCU2APB2 to Marshmallow build N920AUCU2BPE5
Tools Required
1. ADB, download here, install with arguments Y, N, Y
2a If your current build is N920AUCU2APB2 download this update
2b If your current build is N920AUCS2APE3 download this update
2c. If coming from a different build number see Post #2 to manually ODIN back to PB2 then run the update in step 2a
******************
If you get "Error 403 Forbidden" on any of the downloads use the following work around:
Download the Chrome Extension 'User-Agent Switcher'
Once installed switch to the agent 'Googlebot (Googles Spider)'
Downloads will be working again
After the downloads have started switch the Agent back to 'Default'

was tested on a Windows 10 64 bit machine.
Steps:
1. Backup everything of importance on your phone!!!
2. Now, make sure you have "show file extension" enabled in Windows, and add the .zip extension to SS-G920AUCU3BOJ7-to-U3BOJ9-UP, so it is now called SS-G920AUCU3BOJ7-to-U3BOJ9-UP.zip
3. Shutdown your phone
4. Enter recovery mode by pressing volume up, home and power button together
* A green Droid will appear on screen with the text Installing system update…
5. Using the Volume Button Navigate and the Power button to select ‘Apply Update from ADB’
6. Connect your phone via USB to your computer
7. Open a CMD prompt from your PC. Type cd
in my case: cd C:\Users\Danny\Desktop\Note5
8. Navigate to the directory that contains the update ‘SS-N920AUCU2APB2-to-U2BPE5-UP.zip’
*Note I had issue when the directory contained a space. Moving the update to a directory with no spaces resolved the issue.
Also moved the adb driver to the same directory 'C:\Users\Danny\Desktop\Note5'
9. Type adb devices. You should see 1 device listed

Did you make sure the directory had no Spaces and also move the ADB drivers to the same directory?
There are also users reporting that renaming the file 'marshmallow.zip.zip' fixes the issue.

Try to update the url with in the original thread to reflect OJ1 and PB2 build numbers (can't look up the full build numbers right now). If that works use this same guide to apply the update.

[GUIDE] How to Change Boot Logo (Splash Screen) of Redmi Note 5 / Redmi 5 Plus

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 Note 5 / Redmi 5 Plus (vince) Only (Snapdragon Variants)..
For Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred), click here.
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.
Requirements:
1. Rooted Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / Redmi 5 Plus (vince) (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:
0. Make sure fastboot is setup in your computer just in-case something gets ducked up
1. Download & Extract this: Redmi_Note_5_Splash_Maker.zip
2. Make sure you have a picture with resolution 1080x2160 or lower.
3. Now replace your pictures on logo.png inside "pics" folder of the extracted folder.
(Similarly you can change other pictures too)
Note: You can put any picture format, but the names have to be 'logo', 'fastboot', etc.
4. Finally, run the 'CREATE_LOGO.bat' to create splash.img , which you can find inside the "output" folder after completion.
Note:
You might get an error like "PICTURE IS LARGE IN SIZE" if it's not possible to create a logo with that picture.
In that case, try any one of these below:
a. Try compressPNG.com to reduce no. of colors in PNG picture.
Upload your picture, click Settings, reduce number of colors to 2, Apply & download it & try again.
b. Reduce the picture resolution.
For example, this picture:View attachment 4073256 can edited to something like this: View attachment 4073257
(Hope you understand what I say)
c. Try some other picture.
STEPS to flash splash.img:
Optional: To backup your original splash.img:
Code:
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 to install:
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:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/splash.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash
c. To flash from Fastboot mode:
Code:
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.
Credits:
1. Based on my original tool for Redmi Note 4
2. @Redyam & @SuperTheNova who provided the stock splash.img of Redmi Note 5
Hit the Thanks :good: button if it worked for you
You're welcome to post the splash images that you created..
FOR MEDIATEK VARIANTS:
For MTK devices, you might have a different partition for that called 'logo'.
Browse in /dev directory to find out where that is present.
After you have found out, dump the logo.bin file by:
Code:
dd if=/<the_directory_where_logo_is_present>/logo of=/sdcard/logo.bin
Now you can edit the logo.bin using this tool:
Changing Boot Logo (logo.bin) - LOGO BUILDER Program
After editing, you can reflash it by:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/logo.bin of=/<the_directory_where_logo_is_present>/logo
If you did this successfully, please share the details of how you did it so that it will be helpful for others..
Or if that tool doesn't work, send me your logo.bin or splash.img, I'll check it..

Thanks for the tool, I used it in my mi max, it didn´t have many restriction about the size, now it´s very difficult to get a png of 15kb for logo2 with some of quality but I don´t know if is a limitation of the tool or a size restrictions on new splash partition and don´t work to extract splash.img.
Resolution in this device is 1080x2160 so it displays two lines in black in the top and bottom of the image, if it is possible to fix it but anyway so thanks to the developer. I share my ugly image, it´s all I could get by now to overwrite at least "miui...unlocked" black panel.

Can i use this tool for redmi note 5 pro whyred

Hey! This is a great tool, but I want to use it on my Redmi note 5 pro (whyred), so please tell me how can I do it.

Quick suggestion: Edit the default images in the pic folder to get high quality low sized pngs. I've done it that way. ?

is possible to disable the default "fading effect"? i did everything and successfully flashed, but i don't want this effect when it turn on, i want like the original without any effect

You have to drag and drop your splash.img on the EXTRACT_LOGO.bat for it to extract
Make sure the splash.img is inside the same folder as that script.
SubwayChamp said:
Resolution in this device is 1080x2160 so it displays two lines in black in the top and bottom of the image, if it is possible to fix it but anyway so thanks to the developer. I share my ugly image, it´s all I could get by now to overwrite at least "miui...unlocked" black panel.

If you use a logo.png with resolution 1080x2160, it will work good I guess.
Anyway, I have modified all the resolution of stock pics to 1080x2160 in the tool.

It has nothing to do with the splash.img; it's just how the bootloader renders it.

Drag an drop not working yet in the update, it has a redundant message when I dropped on
It didn´t work with a 1080x2160 image before, it just gave a fail message
Now this feature with the correct size is working but only with the same images that you putted in the pics folder
I tried to edit same fastboot pic (original 382 kbs now 57,5 kbs) and logo pic (original 10,8 kbs now 9,53 kbs) and it gave me error (I use pngquant to reduce images weight) keeping same size.
These are my images that I dealed with
Thanks for the effort. I have installed java and python

i just dont understand how the original dont have any effect while rendering and now after i just inverted the colors is totally different

Nifty tool! Great! Thanks!

Hey!
I tried to backup first and in my case it doesn't work.
My filename is mmcblk0p18 !?
and your tool returns
Code:
This file is not supported.
Extraction Complete to folder output\extracted_pics
Folder is empty.
I'm not sure if it's safe to blindly flash my created splashscreen?
Many thanks in advance!
Just in case I have Redmi 5 Plus (Vince) on Resurrection Remix ROM.
GokulNC said:
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 Note 5 / Redmi 5 Plus (vince) Only (Snapdragon Variants)..
For Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred), click here.
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.
Requirements:
1. Rooted Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / Redmi 5 Plus (vince) (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:
0. Make sure fastboot is setup in your computer just in-case something gets ducked up
1. Download & Extract this: Redmi_Note_5_Splash_Maker.zip
2. Make sure you have a picture with resolution 1080x2160 or lower.
3. Now replace your pictures on logo.png inside "pics" folder of the extracted folder.
(Similarly you can change other pictures too)
Note: You can put any picture format, but the names have to be 'logo', 'fastboot', etc.
4. Finally, run the 'CREATE_LOGO.bat' to create splash.img , which you can find inside the "output" folder after completion.
Note:
You might get an error like "PICTURE IS LARGE IN SIZE" if it's not possible to create a logo with that picture.
In that case, try any one of these below:
a. Try compressPNG.com to reduce no. of colors in PNG picture.
Upload your picture, click Settings, reduce number of colors to 2, Apply & download it & try again.
b. Reduce the picture resolution.
For example, this picture:View attachment 4073256 can edited to something like this: View attachment 4073257
(Hope you understand what I say)
c. Try some other picture.
STEPS to flash splash.img:
Optional: To backup your original splash.img:
Code:
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 to install:
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:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/splash.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash
c. To flash from Fastboot mode:
Code:
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.
Credits:
1. Based on my original tool for Redmi Note 4
2. @Redyam & @SuperTheNova who provided the stock splash.img of Redmi Note 5
Hit the Thanks :good: button if it worked for you
You're welcome to post the splash images that you created..
FOR MEDIATEK VARIANTS:
For MTK devices, you might have a different partition for that called 'logo'.
Browse in /dev directory to find out where that is present.
After you have found out, dump the logo.bin file by:
Code:
dd if=/<the_directory_where_logo_is_present>/logo of=/sdcard/logo.bin
Now you can edit the logo.bin using this tool:
Changing Boot Logo (logo.bin) - LOGO BUILDER Program
After editing, you can reflash it by:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/logo.bin of=/<the_directory_where_logo_is_present>/logo
If you did this successfully, please share the details of how you did it so that it will be helpful for others..
Or if that tool doesn't work, send me your logo.bin or splash.img, I'll check it..

Everything worked smoothly and I was able to change the boot logo. The only thing that's bugging me now is the boot logo reveal once the power button is pressed. It wipes down to reveal the full boot logo. This wasn't obtrusive before on the default MI logo but since I have a white bg Google logo it looks very silly. Is there anyway to change this to just an instant reveal without any reveal animation?

That's how Xiaomi did it. No way other than use a dark Google Bootlogo.

No root needed but you have to have a custom recovery (if you want to flash it through recovery) and an unlocked device, you can use also fastboot.

I can't create splash.img, because my pic always detected a large pic size, i compress it into 28kb

12" Chinese Review Mirror Bootloader Unlock/Firmware Update/Theme

Using Ubuntu inside VirtualBox:
Ensure your VirtualBox is setup to see all USB devices, has internet, folder share, and drag & drop enabled.
1. Go to files and create a folder under /home/username/ called “Media”
2. Give permissions to the folder and all subsequent files by right clicking, going to properties, and setting them to allow “create and delete files”.
3. Give permissions for local network share by sharing folder, allowing others to create and delete files in the folder, and allowing guest access.
4. Inside the “Media” folder you will place a modified fastboot zip folder and extract it’s contents into this location. The zip file can be downloaded from here: Modified_fastboot
Now that you have your Computer setup, let’s get started.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prepare Android Mirror: (Plugged into CPU via USB)
1. Power on Android mirror.
2. Go to "Settings".
3. Scroll down and select "System".
4. Scroll down and select "About phone".
5. Scroll all the way down and click on build number until developer mode is unlocked.
6. Click on "Baseband version" 4 times to access EngineerMode.
7. Select "DEBUG&LOG".
A. Enable Never Screen Off.
B. Disable Watch Dog.
C. Enable USB Debug.
D. Allow USB debugging “Always on this computer”, and select “ok”.
8. Click the back arrow far left bottom 2 times until back in System settings.
9. Now you should see “Developer options”. Select it and turn it on.
A. Enable Stay awake.
B. Enable OEM unlocking.
C. Verify USB debugging is enabled.
D. Enable Adb Root Privileges. Pin = 2846
10. Device is now ready.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using Windows with Ubuntu installed within Virtualbox:
To get into fastboot:
1. Ensure you have the latest platform tools for windows. This can be downloaded from here:
Win Platform Tools
2. Extract contents to a folder.
3. Open extracted folder, right click in folder, where you see adb.exe, and select “Open in Windows Terminal”.
**** These next steps I found are to be done in a specific order and time so pay close attention ****
4. Type “./adb devices”. Press enter after the beep sound and the 4G loading screen disappears.
./adb devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If done correctly you will see the following:
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX device
5. Type “./adb reboot bootloader”.
./adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Press enter. - Must be done before the screen goes black and you hear the next beep. If done correctly you will see on the far left:
fastboot mode
7. You are now in fastboot mode. Try not to take too much time with unlocking the bootloader as this may timeout and take multiple tries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Within Ubuntu:
Unlocking bootloader within Fastboot:
1. Open the modified_fastboot folder, right-click then select Open in Terminal.
2. Setup permissions for user by entering the following one at a time followed by enter.
sudo -i
Click to expand...

Click to collapse
5. You should get an output like:
Identifier token:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
OKAY [0.019s]
finished. Total time: 0.019s
6. Copy the Identifier token.
7. Run this command ; replace XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with your Identifier token. Should look like this:
./signidentifier_unlockbootloader.sh XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX rsa4096_vbmeta.pem signature.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. You should have an output like:
Identifier sign script, ver 0.10
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
50 bytes copied, 0.000257562 s, 194kB/s
Identifier sign successfully
9. You should also see a signature.bin file in the modified_fastboot folder.
10. Finally run this command:
./fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader signature.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
11. When it asks to confirm bootloader unlock (volume up/volume down options):
Locate the A/V port on the top of the device, looks like a 3.5mm plug, and use a small ½” long device/toothpick/paperclip to push the button on the inside of the port at the bottom.

Additional/Optional:
Not promoting anything, but kinda am. I get nothing in return for advising to use of any tools. This one here has helped me more than i can explain and was created by an OG of XDA, Koushik Dutta, aka. Koush. He is most famous for his work with Clockwork-mod. Show him some support if you like his work.
Tool to control pretty much any android device from your computer: Vysor
https://www.vysor.io
Here is a video showing you how to use the program. It is done with a Firestick, but once I was setup it just found the mirror itself once I plugged it in as well as my cell phone:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that your bootloader is unlocked and your system is up to date, you may want to customize things a bit as most on XDA do. This is super new to me, like only 2 days working on this mirror.... I did however find a legit app, through playstore, to customize your home screen to not look like so tacky/boring. The app is called Car Launcher. There is a free version and a paid one. Paid version unlocks so much customization. I recommend installing the free version and testing it out. If all works, then the paid version is the way to go. I know the paid works very well with the above firmware. I have tested it quite extensively and so far found only one hick-up. Here are the links.
Recommended Home replacement: Free
Car Launcher Free
PRO Version is much better: cost $4.99
Car Launcher Pro
Whatever you do, don’t use program brightness settings in the themes or Car Launcher. Use the device’s settings.

Hello @po8pimp. Thank you very much for this tutorial, it is very useful. Hopefully someone can make a custom rom for these mirror.
I have a similar mirror, i think from HGDO brand, 4GB RAM 32Gb ROM with the firmware QC_1126bit_M5_1126_media_sleep_2020112517
Can I use your method and install that firmware?
In other hand I cant logout a google account from the mirror. Do you know how to delete and account from it?
Thank you

I will have to check on the firmware ability. As far as the google account logout, you will more than likely have to factory reset the device.

How To Guide [GUIDE] Change Splash screen for this phone!

NOTE: I am not responsible for any bricked devices. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I recently changed my splash screen logo from samsung to a custom one i made in pixlr. Its looks coool. A video is attached below.
REQUIREMENTS:
- ROOTED A32 4G
- usb c cable (to connect to pc)
- windows PC (for zipping and etc.)
- ADB installed on your pc. (For running shell commands) [OR YOU COULD USE SOME TERMINAL EMULATOR]
If your doing this on your phone just follow along, i included seperate commands.
STEPS:
1. Download attached up_param.bin (i extracted this from android 11 firmware. it shld work with fine with 12 they are same. Since downloading whole firmware takes alot of time)
2. Install 7zip if you already didn't from here.
3. Make a working directory anywhere
4. Use 7 zip to extract up_param.bin to a folder.
After extracting this is what you should see
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
These are all the images!
5. modify files as you like. (MAKE SURE THE DIMENSIONS ARE THE SAME. AND DO NOT REMOVE ANY IMAGE IT COULD BRICK)
NOTE: DO NOT TOUCH DOWNLOAD MODE IMAGES. if you f**k them up you will never be able to get into download mode again
You can replace boot_warning.jpg, logo.jpg (main file responsible logo), letter.jpg (the logo that shows for a split second), svb_orange.jpg (boot loader unlock warning)
6. select all images -> right click -> add to archive.
7. set it to tar.
8. set compression method to GNU.
This is what it should look like
9. Click on OK.
10. Now connect your A32 to the PC. (enable USB debugging)
11. Copy over the tar file that was generated by 7zip to anywhere. i am gonna assume we placed it in the internal storage (/sdcard/)
12. Run the following commands.
NOTE: I am editing the original thread since i checked in up param file of my new a13 fw and found new file. Its for if the battery temperature is too high. if you modify the up param from a11 fw and flash that it may not exist and the phone will boot loop if it wants to display the menu...
iM UPLOADING A13 stock up_param HERE FROM A325FXXU2CVK3.
Uploaded as up_param-a13.bin
adb shell (Phone users skip this.)
su
(Grant su permission if the popup comes up).
Then run
ls -l /dev/block/platform/****/by-name
After you get a long output. Search for up_param.
(We all have the same phone but just in case some people with diff samsung mtk phones come here).
now we just have to run 2 more commands and we are done!
Taking backups incase something goes wrong.
(People with different phones replace your up_param partition name here.)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p35 of=/sdcard/backup-param.bin
Now flashing our new modified up_param with new images
dd if=/sdcard/filename.tar of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p35
WE ARE DONE! now reboot and enjoy the new logo!

oh lmao. if you do end up breaking your up_param it would still boot fine. but downlaod mode would break until a proper up param file is flashed again.

I'm reassured

I recommend using dd oflag=direct,sync if=/sdcard/filename.tar of=/dev/block/mmcblk[...] otherwise you may get all sorts of problems, even a bricked phone, especially if you reboot straightaway after flashing. Inside Android all data transfers are cached, it's not the Download tool where everything is synchronous (or at least flushed before reboot).

i didnt have to deal with anything like that. i did multiple flashes atleast 15 flashes using dd to the up param partition and i did not brick my phone at all. worse you could get is a black screen while booting. and your download mode would not work. but its easy to get it back just flash the up param file again the one that was backed up. although thanks for the info. i did this using recovery. could also be done while booted into android itself

I ran into this problem when rebooted the phone using the "reboot" shell command right after the "dd". When rebooting from the UI all caches are flushed, of course, but the "reboot" command is a bit crude method I suppose (although in Linux it's always absolutely graceful). Anyway, the logo screen looked absolutely fine, and the system booted okay, but when I tried to enter Download I got the black screen and the boot loop, and no way to either enter Download, Recovery or boot the system. In fact the only thing that still worked was forced reboot (Power + Vol Down). I was able to get out of this situation by connecting the charger and holding Power + Vol Down to force the phone into the off state, then I connected it to the PC and tried entering the Download mode once again, and this time it worked although the graphics was all messed up.

did you touch the download mode images in any way? i dont know why this happened for you. i guess i did press the reboot button instead of using the command. since i do it on first fw reflash and i flash a gsi immdiiately afterwards... download shouldnt have died like that tho. i messed with my down load images completely. i competely replaced them with diff new images that are diff sizes too. i dont know why this is happening for you. my download works fine. although it reverts to the old download image somehow once on downloading mode. for confirmations it does show my edited images.

I suppose your Download still worked fine because the up_param tar archive was complete and not corrupt, and even image files were normal and not chopped in the middle of the data stream. In my case it was the latter, when cache is not flushed the data stream is just cut, and such a simple program as Download obviously cannot handle broken files. The Download tool itself is kept in the separate "debugger" flash memory, I guess it has the default graphics too which can be displayed if no graphics is found in up_param.

Correction: 'dd oflag=direct,sync' does not work in Android shell, the working alternative is 'dd conv=fsync'

I recently changed my splash screen logo from samsung to a custom one i made in pixlr. Its looks coool. A video is attached below.
REQUIREMENTS:
- ROOTED A32 4G
- usb c cable (to connect to pc)
- windows PC (for zipping and etc.)
- ADB installed on your pc. (For running shell commands) [OR YOU COULD USE SOME TERMINAL EMULATOR]
If your doing this on your phone just follow along, i included seperate commands.
STEPS:
1. Download attached up_param.bin (i extracted this from android 11 firmware. it shld work with fine with 12 they are same. Since downloading whole firmware takes alot of time)
2. Install 7zip if you already didn't from here.
3. Make a working directory anywhere
4. Use 7 zip to extract up_param.bin to a folder.
After extracting this is what you should see
View attachment 5775661
These are all the images!
5. modify files as you like. (MAKE SURE THE DIMENSIONS ARE THE SAME. AND DO NOT REMOVE ANY IMAGE IT COULD BRICK)
NOTE: DO NOT TOUCH DOWNLOAD MODE IMAGES. if you f**k them up you will never be able to get into download mode again
You can replace boot_warning.jpg, logo.jpg (main file responsible logo), letter.jpg (the logo that shows for a split second), svb_orange.jpg (boot loader unlock warning)
6. select all images -> right click -> add to archive.
View attachment 5775663
7. set it to tar.
8. set compression method to GNU.
This is what it should look like
View attachment 5775665
9. Click on OK.
10. Now connect your A32 to the PC. (enable USB debugging)
11. Copy over the tar file that was generated by 7zip to anywhere. i am gonna assume we placed it in the internal storage (/sdcard/)
12. Run the following commands.
NOTE: I am editing the original thread since i checked in up param file of my new a13 fw and found new file. Its for if the battery temperature is too high. if you modify the up param from a11 fw and flash that it may not exist and the phone will boot loop if it wants to display the menu...
iM UPLOADING A13 stock up_param HERE FROM A325FXXU2CVK3.
Uploaded as up_param-a13.bin
adb shell (Phone users skip this.)
su
(Grant su permission if the popup comes up).
Then run
ls -l /dev/block/platform/****/by-name
After you get a long output. Search for up_param.

(We all have the same phone but just in case some people with diff samsung mtk phones come here).
now we just have to run 2 more commands and we are done!
Taking backups incase something goes wrong.
(People with different phones replace your up_param partition name here.)
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p35 of=/sdcard/backup-param.bin
Now flashing our new modified up_param with new images
dd if=/sdcard/filename.tar of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p35
WE ARE DONE! now reboot and enjoy the new logo!

they do? check inside bl file of your firmware. Or using the partition list command should show it

Bl file itself doesn't have up_parem.bin file
Unlike exynis devices which have it
And am.nit familiar with partition as you said if you can helping me
