[GUIDE] How to Change the Hellomoto Bootscreen on your L7

[kirklestat]

Note: Only works for RSA Removed firmware. This is for ABR firmware only. Other firmwares have different location of the Hellomoto image. don't worry, I will update this thread. I have tested this on my L7 and it worked. I have not tested it on others so do it at your own risk. You are responsible for what you are doing.

What you need:
1. Your custom 176x220 bmp image file.
2. RandomSHX.
3. Motorola Bootscreen Replacer
4. Flash&Backup3.

1. As usual, extract the bin files from your SHX backup using RandomSHX.

2. Extract the Motorola Bootscreen Replacer zip file to a new folder.

2. Now on the Motorola Bootscreen Replacer directory, right click on offset.ini file and open it with notepad.

3. Scroll to the bottom and add exactly what you see on the screenshot.


4. Now open Motorola Bootscreen Replacer and set to "Change image in firmware."

5. Open flash file the *2.bin file in your Extracted Bin folder.

6. Change the "Choose flash type and image" to L7 R4513...ABR.

7. Click "Load from file" and select your custom 176x220 bmp file.

8. Click Save Flash.

--for steps 4 to 8 refer to this screenshot--

9. Close Motorola Bootscreen Replacer then recompile your Extracted Bin files with RandomSHX.

10. Take a deep breath, relax, and just flash the new MP using Flash&Backup3

not sure in hex though but you will know that when opening the Motorola Boot Screen Replacer. changing them will change the picture viewer too.

It worked on my L/ with DCR flash
So the hex code is correct

[kirklestat]

good confirmed then.

[L7 R4513...ACR]
Hellomoto=534767
Welcome=520601

ACR confirmed. 534607 for Hellomoto is slightly off center so I didn't use it.

[jaywhiting]

What to put in offset.ini for L6 then?

[kirklestat]

i'm sorry jaywhiting but it's never been discovered yet. i am trying but i cant figure it out yet.
