boot screen

[mobster]

i would like to change my razr v3re boot screen, but my flash and backup trial has ended. Does anybody know of another program that has the same capabilities of flash and backup or another way of changing it without this program?

F&B is only like 10 bucks, and it's definitely worth it.

I know there are hacked versions available, but I would not go that route. It's illegal, you could get a virus, and frankly, show the writers some respect.

Anyway, to answer your question, I know of no other program that will do what F&B can, but others may know better.

thanx maybe ill just buy it like u said

i have p2kcommander working but idk if its possible 2 change the boot screen with it. if so do u know the filenames?

The binary file cg8 needs to be modified you can only do this by using a program like flash & backup to read the phone and make the binary file to be modified. fb3 is the only program that i know of to do this.

ok

i also read somewhere that you could deactivate the seem for the bootscreen and copy the new one in and then activate it again. have u heard of this. my dad wont let me buy f&b

[modnmotos]

Nevr herd that b4. Try to find it Ide like to take a look at it see if its something that might work with our V3re. Becareful what you read out there it might b 4 a diff phone and the same process might brick your phone. Was it for the v3re?

I really doubt this. When I was customizing my bootscreen, the *only* place I found it was in the CG8 binary. Everything that's "welcome" or "start-up" that's in GIF format is an animation. If the bootscreen exists outside the CG8, I couldn't see it with M-Explorer.

On the other hand, if it *does* exist on it's own as a pure graphic file, that may be why I "lost" my bootscreen during subsequent mods. The bootscreen is called Hellomoto.jpg, so if you *do* find that file by itself somewhere on the phone, please post the location :-)

Pywll well what Danation and have found out l8tly is in the cg15 file if you 'break' it open is 3 or 4 pics of the stock bootscreen in there. So what I was wondering was why are they in there when modifing the cg8 actually changes the bootscreen?

[Danation]

I'm tempted to flash back to stock and just change it in the DRM. I doubt it would work, but it's an interesting idea.

[modnmotos]

Yeah i dont think so either

[mobster]

i thought the bootscreen was custwakeup.gif

[Danation]

No, that's the opening animation. Which you can change. It usually has your provider in some animation.

The bootscreen typically says "Hellomoto."

[mobster]

well ive been trying to change that and it just says generic failure

[modnmotos]

Then it switches to the custwakeup.gif, which at one point on mine was a really cool (black) spiderman symbol. It started zoomed in on his chest then it zooms out to show him perched up on a building with rain falling. I cropped it from a movie trailer. Then on shut down The view was from the ground looking up at him on the building and he dives down coming right at you and it zoomed in on his chest then went black as phone shut off. Only problem was it took up so much space on phones mem I couldnt have the games and apps I wanted. Where does it say generic failure?

[mobster]

well im using p2k commander and it says generic failure on the log in the bottom left hand corner
