[TOOL] Milestone custom boot logo

[Skrilax_CZ]

So,
I got tired of the Motorola Boot Logo and created a simple utility to convert a bitmap image to a Motorola Boot Logo format. The only requirement is that the bitmap size is 480 x 182. Requires .NET framework 3.5.

Usage:
- Open the desired bitmap
- Save it as boot logo (file name for example mylogo.bin) OR as nandroid (creates a folder with logo.bin and logo.md5 in it)

Flashing (manually):
- Copy it to sdcard and reboot to OpenRecovery
- open OpenRecovery console and type:
erase_image logo
flash_image logo /sdcard/mylogo.bin

Alternatively, if you saved as nandroid, just copy the newly created folder to /sdcard/openrecovery. Note that you have to apply the fix (see below) or it will not flash!

Download:
ModMyMobile Forums - Downloads - Milestone Boot Logo

NOTE:
OpenRecovery nandroid (version 1.46) has a bug in restoring the logo partition; use the fix in OpenRecovery thread here: Open Recovery v1.46 [11/21/2010]

Just thought I should thank you and say this works fine on my Ubuntu 64bit Linux laptop, using Mono after just installing the "libmono-winforms2.0-cil" package.

Updated:
- can open/save *.png and *.jpg
- can save as nandroid (creates a directory); but you have to apply the fix for nandroid to flash.

I created an image and tried flashing it, but it looks 'corrupted' and I want to flash a different image (which someone made for the droid) I followed the same steps but now it will say "error opening /sdcard/boot.png: No such file or directory"

(I named 2 different files just to be sure)
Now I'm stuck with a crappy boot logo. Please help!
Thanks.
