Magic Splash Wand

Magic Splash Wand is a set of scripts for unpacking and packaging the splash screen of Qualcomm series devices on boot, powered by PHP.

Magic Splash!! Wand

Tool for unpacking and packaging splash image for Qualcomm devices.

Magic Splash Logo! Wand

Tool for unpacking and packaging splash image for OPlus Qualcomm devices.

How to use

Download and install PHP 8.1.0+ for your system from the official website.
Enable GD extension in php.ini.
Open the terminal and use PHP interpreter to execute the script or script (for oplus) with the usage.
Wait for the script to run.

Workaround

While cracking the BootLoader of OPPO Watch 2 eSIM Series, I got interested in its Splash. It's format is not quite the same as the script provided by Qualcomm.

After analysis, it contains multiple logos and store information with the structure below:

Splash Payload (0x0)
│
├── Header [0x200] (0x0)
│   │
│   ├──(header structure) [0xC] (0x0)
│   │   │
│   │   │      *** Splash Identity ***
│   │   │
│   │   ├── char[0x8] magic;      <--- magic header, "SPLASH!!"
│   │   │
│   │   │      *** Content Identity ***

The original script was so old that it didn't even support Python 3.x. It's a pain to retrofit on top of it.

Out of distaste for Python syntax, I rewrote the script in PHP and added unpacking support.

-- Update --

Qualcomm devices from OPlus (OPPO/OnePlus/Realme) use a different but similar format to the above.

Combined with the Qualcomm structure, the analysis resulted in the following structure:

Splash Payload (0x0)
│
├── Padding [0x4000] (0x0)    <--- padding before the header, usually empty
│
├── Header [0x4000] (0x4000)

│   │   │

Compression format was changed from RLE24 to GZIP (magic number 1F 8B 08 00). Device is confirmed to be able to load content at the maximum compression level.

Have fun :)
