Note:
This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the 'Zuk' boot logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)
This is for ZUK Z2 / Z2 Pro Only ..
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.
Requirements:
1. Rooted Zuk Z2/Pro (any ROM)
2. Terminal Emulator app installed.
STEPS to create splash.img:
Before proceeding, make sure fastboot is setup properly in your computer (just incase something goes wrong)..
It's not yet tested by anyone.
1. Make sure you have a 1080x1920 picture in PNG format.
2. Download & Extract this: Zuk_Z2_Splash_Logo_Maker.zip
3. Now rename your picture as logo.png & replace it inside "pics" folder of the extracted folder.
(Similarly you can replace battery.png and usb.png if you wish)
4. Finally, run the 'CREATE_LOGO.bat' to create splash.img , which you can find inside the "output" folder after completion.
STEPS to flash splash.img:
1. Transfer the splash.img to your device's Internal Storage.
2. Open Terminal Emulator & enter the following to flash it:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/splash.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash
(You can also flash from fastboot as given below)
Note:
Incase something goes wrong or device doesn't bootup, flash the stock splash.img from fastboot like:
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img

thanks @GokulNC for this tutorial
some roms also have a special image for the "starting apps" screen. can this be changed too?
@GokulNC, thank you for your tool.
I want to change Warning message for unlocked bootloader with custom picture. I remember there was some way for Motorola phones: https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/themes-apps/remove-unlocke-bootloader-message-t3177801
Is it possible to use this way for Zuk Z2?
I'd like to find solution but I don't know how to unpack splash.img.
By the way to flash splash we must use the following command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash splash splash.img

In their case, it was present in the logo partition itself.
But in your case, it guess it's in the bootloader (it was not present in splash partition).

As i said, it's in the bootloader partition (maybe named 'aboot' or something; find it out yourself).
However, it's not recommended to modify the bootloader, since it might brick your device, even if it displaces by a single byte..

Updated root & TWRP installation guide for Moto XT1225 and XT1250
Plus other goodies! Also see posts #2 and #3.
[UPDATED GUIDE] How to unlock your MOTO MAXX/MOTO TURBO bootloader, install TWRP and gain root access
INTRODUCTION/EXPLANATION
I own three Moto XT1225 and the original root/recovery thread from 2014 is here. I rooted two of my XT1225 phones using that guide. However, it's a very OLD guide from 2014, made before we even had TWRP recovery and the phone was on KitKat 4.4.4. We now have factory Motorola Marshmallow firmware. You should be very cautious using it! The ADB steps are OK, but would be best to use TWRP recovery in place of the primitive recovery listed in that thread.
@alexcreto and @respider did an awesome job at the time, but a lot of dev work has happened since 2014! We have official TWRP. We are now two Android versions away from Kitkat 4.4.4.
Thus, the need for THIS updated guide. I wrote these steps as a post in that thread, but am now making it a standalone thread. @TheSt33v did a very good job writing up a similar guide for the Droid Turbo XT1254, and while the bootloader unlock portion is different for that Quark model, the TWRP installation and root are the same. With his permission, I have copied those portions of his guide, editing slightly to clarify (in my opinion) or adding some more instructions or combining a few steps for convenience.
The bootloader unlock portion for every Motorola Quark -- except the Droid Turbo XT1254 -- is very easy and free. If you have a Droid Turbo XT1254, go here. IF you have any other Quark -- Moto Maxx XT1225, Moto Turbo XT1225, U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250, keep reading...
________________________________
Section 1: UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
Before anything, go to the Motorola website and unlock your bootloader.
Unlocking the Quarks -- "international" Moto Maxx XT1225, Moto Turbo XT1225, U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 -- is FREE, via the Motorola website.
UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
You release Motorola from any liability, get a code and unlock your bootloader.
If you get an error message at this step that your phone is not eligible, then you have typed in something wrong (or you have a Verizon Droid phone). Helps if you Google how to copy and paste from Windows command window. There's a LOT of alphanumeric characters you have to type. First time I tried to unlock my bootloader I mis-typed something. :crying: Copying and pasting from the Windows command window fixed that problem! :good:
You'll get an email with the bootloader unlock code. The email will also have a link back to the instructions. But the code is what's important.

You will receive this fairly instantly. If you don't get it, make sure you checkmarked you agree to all the conditions. Also check your spam folder.
Of the Quark series, only Verizon's Droid Turbo XT1254 is exempt from this free Motorola bootloader unlock and this guide is NOT for the Droid Turbo XT1254.

HOW TO UNLOCK MOTOROLA BOOTLOADERS
https://androidmtk.com/unlock-bootloader-on-any-motorola-device
_____________
Once you have unlocked your bootloader, follow THESE steps:
Section 2: INSTALLING TWRP
Team Win Recovery Project is arguably the most important tool to have on a bootloader-unlocked phone. This is how you install it:
0. If you haven't already, go click the Android Build number in About Phone several times to become a "Developer". Then go into Developer Options and allow USB Android Debugging. If it asks you to allow your PC one time or always, check mark always. In Kitkat it looked like this:
alexcreto said:
YAY...thats an easy one...
So, whenever you plug your phone in your PC with the USB Debugging on, it prompts you to accept the fingerprint of the PC.
You have to accept it...in your phone...
It's like this:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's still very similar.
1. Download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot to your PC.
Download from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790.
2. Go ahead and download SuperSU from the attached file at bottom of this post. It's an older version of SuperSu but works well on the Quark Motorola Marshmallow ROM. You can always update to newer version later. We'll install this after we install TWRP. Transfer that file to a convenient location on your phone. If you downloaded the file with your phone, it's in your "Downloads folder". You can keep it there.
BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651
Attached to this post or download from here:
https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/
3. Download the latest Quark TWRP .img file from this page (courtesy our Quark maintainer @bhb27:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=39562
(USE THE FILE ON THAT PAGE WITH THE MOST RECENT DATE)
The file visible in that folder is the always the very newest modded TWRP by our official maintainer @bhb27. Make sure you use the one with the most recent date. I strongly suggest you use his modded TWRP file over the TWRP from the official TWRP website. He's an XDA recognized dev who knows what's best for our Quark phones, and he's added stuff to make TWRP very compatible with the latest ROMs, whereas the "official" unmodded TWRP does not have that. @bhb27 helped us get official status with TWRP, but for some reason they won't post his modded versions. Ignore them. His modded TWRP is much better (more compatible with newest ROMs) than the TWRP available on the official TWRP site.
4. Download and install the Motorola Device Manager from here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481.
5. Rename the TWRP recovery file that you downloaded in step 3 to TWRP.img.
(Make sure you enable viewing file extensions in Windows! The file already has an ".img" extension! You are merely re-naming it TWRP. The .img extension is already there. If you don't see, then enable viewing all file extensions until you do see it.)
6. Copy TWRP.img to the directory that you installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot to. The default location on an installation of 64-bit Windows is C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
7. Turn off your phone.
8. Hold the volume down button and press the power button to boot into bootloader mode. You should see a green android lying on his back with his chest open, and some information about your phone. Poor little guy...
9. Plug your phone into your PC.
10. Double click on the Minimal ADB and Fastboot shortcut that's on your desktop. It will open a command prompt.
11. Type "fastboot devices" without quotes and press enter. If it gives you your phone's serial number, you're good to go. If it gives you nothing, your device is not detected. This can happen for several reasons, and I won't discuss them here. However, if you followed these directions and all of your hardware is functioning properly, you should be good to go.
12. Type "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" without quotes and press enter. It should tell you that the flash was successful. (If fastboot can't find the file, go back to point #5 and make sure you re-named it correctly. Make sure you have Windows extensions visible. You may have accidentally named it TWRP.img.img.)
13 Highlight "Recovery mode" on your phone using the volume up and down buttons.
(Because you will still be on the bootloader screen after flashing TWRP. AFTER you flash it, you will then use your volume button to arrow up or down -- doesn't matter -- through the choice until you see "recovery". THEN, in the next step you will press the power button to choose that selection -- recovery.)
14. Press the power button to choose "boot into TWRP. < THIS IS IMPORTANT! Do not reboot normally after flashing TWRP. Reboot directly to recovery by selecting recovery from the bootloader menu on the phone. After the first TWRP boot, it will be there permanently.
15. TWRP will boot, and it will ask you if you want to allow write access to the system partition. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ALLOW THIS. Check the box that says to never ask this question again.
____________
Section 3: GAINING ROOT ACCESS
16. Select Install from the TWRP main menu.
17. Navigate to the location where you saved the SuperSu file that you downloaded in step 2, and select it.
18. Swipe the bar at the bottom of the screen to flash this zip file.
19. When it finishes, select Reboot System to boot your phone normally.

BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651
Attached to this bottom of this post or download from here:
https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/
Flash this version initially. You can update to newer version later. (People had problems flashing the very newest SuperSu for initial root, but this version works good. Again, you can update to newer version later, after you gain root.)
Also, here's some common mistakes people make when flashing TWRP and SuperSU:
(Read these first if you have any problems.)

BONUS TIP - SuperSu Setting
After you reboot, go into SuperSu settings and UNcheck this box. Mount namespace separation.
Uncheck that. Disable that. Then, reboot.
If it's enabled it will conflict with Titanium Backup which you will use at some point, or should. And you will have no idea why Titanium Backup is saying you are out of space, when you are not -- but it's due to this setting in SuperSu!
STRONG SUGGESTION: After successfully unlocking bootloader, installing TWRP and rooting, when you finally boot back to stock firmware, install THIS app (needs root permission) to easily facilitate rebooting to TWRP recovery in the future. Recovery Reboot
Remove annoying bootloader unlocked warning
Motorola insists upon telling you that you unlocked your bootloader every time you reboot your phone. This is the static logo you see before the moving boot animation starts, and Motorola replaces it with an UNLOCKED bootloader warning. Yes, I know -- I unlocked it on purpose!
Replace that annoying warning with something cool looking... I have attached FIVE choices with Motorola logo!
* Black and White
* Dark Google ATAP
Graphic for this above was used from this Moto X Pure thread by @XDleader555 -- but I adapted it for our Quark so it wouldn't be upside down. All the other bundled graphics in the bin file like "recovery", "bootloader" are taken from the Black & Teal logo below. However the "splash screen" is this artistic black & white boot logo.
* Black and Teal
*White and Teal
* Black and Red
(The last three with color are custom graphics made by @fenix3nk0r3 from this thread. I am using the black and teal on my daily phone.)
And here's two ways of installing the new boot logos...
REMOVE ANNOYING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED WARNING
1. FASTBOOT ADB
Jaocagomez said:
Prerequisites:
Bootloader Unlocked
Fastboot and ADB On your PC (i personally recommend Minimal ADB and Fastboot )
Installation:
Assuming you already have Fastboot on your pc just flash it with the following command:
Code:
Fastboot flash logo "name_logo".bin
(Replace "name_logo" bin with whatever the .bin file is named, without quotes. IF you simply re-name it logo.bin, remember you will be typing the word logo twice in that command. Just remember to actually type it twice!)

2. FLASH LOGO IN TWRP
Courtesy @bhb27, here's a boot logo flasher app for use in TWRP:
bhb27 said:
This can be used to flash the logo via TWRP. No need to fastboot or PC
Logo_Flasher.zip
This zip must be used with a logo.bin file. The file can be find on stock Moto ROM and modified using the logo flasher app.
Place the logo.bin on the root of this zip, the file name must be named logo.bin
Then just flash the zip via TWRP.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Great tool, once I figured out "place the re-named logo.bin on the root of this zip" meant INSIDE the zipped logo flasher folder.
I first placed it in the same folder as the zipped file (my Download folder). Didn't work. Then, I re-read and realized it meant the logo.bin file had to placed INSIDE the zipped folder. My fault. So, I did that and worked smoothly!
Note that whichever .bin image you use, it MUST be re-named simply "logo.bin" to work inside this logo flasher app.

EDIT: SEE POST #5 FOR TWRP FLASHABLE ZIP FILES WITH LOGO ALREADY PREPARED! NO PC NEEDED!
Flash new boot animation
FLASH NEW BOOT ANIMATION.
1) Google Bootanimation 60fps for all QUARK
There are plenty of boot animations available. I like this one...
Google Bootanimation 60fps for all QUARK
Looks like this:
But a LOT smoother in real life
See attached file. This is a TWRP flashable zipped file. Download and flash it in TWRP.
Do NOT unzip it! Just boot into TWRP recovery and flash it.

Men I Like your post, thanks for adding my publication
No pc needed to flash these boot logos!
TWRP-FLASHABLE: REMOVE ANNOYING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED WARNING
This is the static logo you see before the moving boot animation starts.
Due requests, I have attached TWRP-flashable files with boot logos already inside. No need for a PC!
NOTE: Flash one of these boot logos as a separate TWRP session if you are also flashing the boot animation. For some reason both cannot be flashed in the same session.

Works for me. How are you downloading? How are you flashing?
I flashed the white and teal before I uploaded the zipped files, as I was already using the black and teal.
Now I just reflashed the black and teal from the exact same file I attached to post #5.
Using Chrome browser, I just re-downloaded the red and black -- even though I already had it stored on my phone. I used the one from this post and flashed it. It works.
So, that's 3 of the 4 I've personally flashed...
Boot into TWRP and "install" (flash) the zipped file you downloaded.
Just reflashed and it worked great. Maybe it didn't work the first time because I flashed both the logo bin zip and boot animation together.
Thank you very much for your continued support kind Sir.

You are welcome. I am not a TWRP expert. I would suggest you re-flash the latest version of TWRP and see what happens. But you will get a better answer in the TWRP thread run by @bhb27... Good luck!

Click to collapse
Yes, you are correct since I specifically mentioned TWRP.
I wrote this guide then went back and added another step (downloading SuperSu) between #1 and #2 (TWRP), thus making the TWRP download step actually #3. It made more sense to download SuperSu first, to have it ready. So, in the revision, the TWRP download became step #3.
Then, I didn't change the TWRP file re-naming/windows extension warning to reflect that number change, still referring to "step #2".
I'll change it now. Thanks.
I was trying to get the bootloader unlocked, but I still haven't received any code by Motorola. How long do they usually take to send it?
I tried to contact them too, but their site is terrible, every device that I try on that site has issues, in can't even send a question or get into the chat, the buttons don't work

Stock in the boot animation
Hi.
First thanks for you complete guide.
Now, I did all the steps correctly, but in the final, when I tryed to flash de boot animation logo TWR show me that is all ok, but my phone don't boot... It's stock in the animation all the time. What happend?
What can I do for return at before steps?
The last moment that my phone works, was before to flash the SuperSU. After that, the phone stock it in the big M screen (the white one), then I flash the animation logo zip.
I need my phone D:
EDIT: I add the next --> When I connect my phone to PC, while the first is in the TWRP mode, the windows explorer showme 2 folders: "TWRP" and "0". Is this Correct?
EDIT 2: I flashed the Resurrection Remix ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/rom-resurrection-remix-t3316232) using TWRP and my phone works, but I losed the active display

From all your edits it seems you actually figured most of it out? You have now flashed Resurrection Remix Marshmallow ROM. If you did that, then you unlocked your bootloader, installed TWRP, rooted and rebooted successfully!
I'm not sure exactly the steps you did, but for some reason the TWRP-flashable boot animation and TWRP-flashable boot logos cannot be flashed in the same TWRP session. If you try to flash both in the same TWRP session, one will not flash and you will still have the logo or animation you were trying to replace. I provided two versions of boot logos -- either ADB or TWRP-flashable. You can either flash the boot logo via ADB and then boot animation via TWRP... OR you can flash the TWRP-flashable boot logo via TWRP, reboot to ROM, then go back into TWRP recovery, and then flash the TWRP-flashable boot animation in a separate session.

For the active display, in CM-based ROMs it's called "Ambient Display". Our CM dev @Skrilax_CZ, put a lot of effort into coding it so it works with the the Quark (Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo/Droid Turbo) IR sensors very much like Moto Display.
All the other ROMs, like Resurrection Remix, Bliss, etc use the same coding.
It's a lock-screen notification system. You will not see any notifications if you display is not locked when it is off/dark/sleeping.
In Settings,
First, you need to turn on Ambient Display.
Then, you need to configure the actions of Ambient Display. For example, some want to see notifications when they wave their hands over the phone, some do not want that action.
Below are the Ambient Display settings screenshots I took when I was using CM12.1. I am now using Resurrection Remix Marshmallow, like you. The settings are either identical or very, very similar.

In Lock Screen, you need to have some sort of of screen lock, even if it's just swipe/slide lock. Either swipe, pattern or PIN. You can't choose "none". I choose pattern, but it's up to you.
IF you choose swipe, you may accidentally unlock your phone if you keep it in your pocket. PIN or pattern is better, in my opinion.
In RR, these settings below are under "Security". In CM12.1 it was under "Lockscreen".
Also, helps if you have "Automatically Lock" and "Power Button Instantly Locks" Some people put a delay on those for some reason, and then Ambient Display isn't going to show you notifications on the dark screen because the Display isn't actually locked.
NOTE: After you turn on all the other options, sometimes it's best to then turn off Ambient Display, then turn it back on to make sure it recognizes the other settings you have enabled.
You are awesome.
Works perfectly (just check one time).
Thanks again from Chile.
And sorry for my English, I expect understand me

Yes, the beta SuperSu 2.62 I have in post #1 works great for initial root. Then, after that you can update to newest SuperSu if you wish.
After i struck in to the problem i created a simple way to all my friends who are using moto x and thinking about back to stock rom 100% here you go
Downloads:
I assume you already have adb drivers if you're even here.....otherwise get them from the latest sdk here
Moto Drivers (Motorola Device Manager):
Stock Firmware: click here
Moto Fastboot exe: mfastboot
My Setup: Windows 8 machine <--obvious driver issues as usual
download all the files required
step 1: install adb files
Step 2: Install Motorola Drivers
Step 3: Extract Downloaded Stock Rom in the local folder
Step 4: Now extract mfastboot Moto X ghost manual to automation command file.rar
step 5: Now copy the extracted stock rom then paste it in mfastboot folder, now all the mfastboot and stock rom are all in same folder
Step 6: Hope you know how to get in to bootloader , go to boot loader connect your mobile to pc through data cable
Step 7: Now we reached the last step now you simply double click flash_modem file over now the files will automatically loaded in your phone and once finished reboot it you be in 100% stock rom
have fun guys

You should be very cautious when flash anything into Motorola phone, because it's based on Qualcomm system-on-chip, that has many security checks.
Looks like wrong model was flashed. Execute command fastboot getvar all - that is needed to know the exact model of your Moto X.
Will this allow/prepare a phone to take OTA?
The prior owner of this AT&T Gen 1 Moto X (XT1058) had used some roms, but he advised he had returned it to stock. It never prompts for an OTA.
It is running 4.4.4
baseband MSM8960PRO_BP_2323.038.123.00R
System Version 212.44.26.ghost_att.ATT.en.US
Build KXA21.12-L1.26
Is there any way to go back?
I mean, i did this method like 1 year ago... but now I don't remember what I did...
My phone doesn't have recovery and I can't format it

Execute command fastboot getvar all to know the exact model of your Moto X, and ROM installed.
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 4A/4 Only..
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.
Requirements:
1. Rooted Redmi 4A/4 (any ROM)
2. Terminal Emulator app
STEPS to create & flash splash.img:
Same procedure as in here:

Thanks to @karantamboli who provided stock splash.img of Redmi 4A..

I was looking for this since last week. Please upload more flashable files with screnshot plz
Unable to flash it through twrp
i tried to flash it but my logo comes only for a second and then it gets replaced by the stock logo (note i have a custom ROM and have different boot video ) fastboot logo is fine it works
I tried too and had the same result, only fastboot works.
I also tried to flash a custom logo, but I didn't use the .bat file because I'm using a linux OS. I searched to find a linux version of the script but I found only a request in another device' s thread with no answer from the creator of the tool. So I tried to use the commands from .bat file. I used "cat" command to join the files which I found that is equivalent to "copy /b" and the "720x1280_header.img" which provided, but it didn't work. I get only af small penguin icon for both fastboot and splash which I suppose is the linux kernel' s default splash. For fastboot I used the "fastboot.img" which also provided, so doesn't seems that is the image I made problem.
Doesn't Work! Atleast must update the thread.

If boot logo gets instantly replaced by the stock one, use this modified version by PG:
