So you want to make a Bootlogo? came to the right place

This How to is sized for Razr HD, Razr M, Bionic, and Razr OG (yes...the flip phone)

(I believe you can follow this with any phone, just remember your sizing will be different so make sure to use the right sizing for your phone)

What is the Bootlogo? The bootlogo is the Red Motorola M in the picture above. It appears right after you hit that power button to turn on your phone

1. Easiest way is to start by downloading this stock Motorola M logo.bin http://d-h.st/1Cr

2. See how its named logo.bin? Change the bin to raw

. (Photoshop only, Gimp users you should be fine with bin)
 

3. Then place a black layer over the M to hide any unwanted colors or pictures

4. Drag your image in!!!

5. Size to your liking remember it needs to be within 540x540

6. Merge into one layer

From here it depends if your using Photoshop or Gimp so fellow accordingly!

Photoshop-

1. Photoshop: select Image > Adjustments > Channel Mixer

2. Select Output channel: Red and change the red value from 100 to 0 and the blue value from 0 to 100
now select Output channel: Blue and change the red value from 0 to 100 and the blue value from 100 to 0
press okay

Note: the colors will look invert and might seem weird, but thats the right way! Your phone will see it normally (why? i have no idea!)

3. Photoshop: select file -> save as

name "logo.bin"

format "photoshop raw"
save

Gimp-

(I dont use gimp so you might be better off following this link

http://www.droidrzr....go/#entry327528)

 

1. Gimp: select Colors -> Components -> Channel Mixer

2. Select Output channel: Red and change the red value from 100 to 0 and the blue value from 0 to 100

now select Output channel: Blue and change the red value from 0 to 100 and the blue value from 100 to 0
press okay

3. Gimp: select file -> export

name "logo.bin"
select "All Files" from drop-down menu
expand the "select file type (by extension)" menu and select "raw image data"
export!

By renaming logo.bin to logo.raw nothing will open it up.  I tried a few different raw photo editors for linux with no luck.  One tried to open it but said its not a raw format.  I tried Gimp but it wouldnt even try to open it.

sorry about that. That part was meant for Photoshop. I don't use gimp what do you think is best to use for gimp? Or can you import the bin just fine ?

There is a plugin for gimp (Linux) that will allow it to handle the .raw file...... I would link to it but I honestly forgot where I got it :

Talk to our good friend Google LOL

Also....FYI .. the sizing is the same for the OG RAZR / MAXX and the bionic ..... so that opens it up to a wider group

Thought you might want to know that



Not sure if the flashable.zip will work on those ones tho.... but you all know me.... I will try it just to see....

oh alright didnt know! lol didnt have either. yeah i think i read somewhere that the og razr and bionic need to use ap ? so i dont think the flashable zip will work, but i will look around and will add some [spoiler]'s to add some more devices thank you

 

- if anyone wants a device added just tell me

[nine5raptor]

Thank you for these! Just flashed the boot loader warning as I bought my HD unlocked with the original M logo back on it. Wanted the warning just for fun :-)

Gimp user here, neither .bin or .raw formats are working for me.  Has anyone found a work around for Gimp?
