How to change the boot up on your carpuride
Changing the logo boot up on your Carpuride is actually really simple, and if you have an old micro SD card laying around, it makes it even more simple!
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, YOU ARE CARRYING THIS OUT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
First we need to create the boot file to change over the logo, there are a few ways to do this. However I know not everyone has photoediting tools so this is the quickest way.
Also this is for the Carpuride W502, I am sure its similar process for other models but I cannot test this idea.
Chose the logo or photo of your choice, if you want a Manufacturer logo this will need to be a transparent one (no background)
Then you need to create a digital image of 800 x 480 Pixels, if you have a way of doing this go ahead if not follow this guide here
Once you have created the file, head to https://carpu.dszymanski.pl ( i am not affiliated with this website in anyway and you use as your own risk)
Here you can select your model and upload the file the picture you just created, this will generate a file called isp_part.bin see image below
That's it the file you need is now created, we can now move onto the next step.
Grab you micro SD card, CARPURIDE suggest a 32GB card minimum but I used an old 8GB one I had laying around and it worked fine!
Connect it to your laptop or PC, you will need a micro SD card reader something like this will work wonders https://amzn.to/3SjqBcf
Once connected, make sure the SD card is blank ( you may need to format it) then copy the file over to it.
Remove the SD card we now need to slot it into the CARPURIDE unit
IMPORTANT MAKE SURE THE CARPURIDE UNIT IS POWERED UP BEFORE PUTTING SD CARD IN DEVICE
REMOVE THE TWO SCREWS ON THE SIDE HOLDING THE SD COVER IN, AND REMOVE THE SD COVER
INSERT THE SD CARD
YOU MAY NEED TO PUSH IT HOME WITH A BLUNT TOOL
ONCE IN THE UNIT WILL SHOW THIS PROMPT, IT WILL TIME OUT AND RESTART OR YOU CAN TAP THE TICK
YOU WILL THEN SEE YOUR NEW LOGO WHEN THE DEVICE BOOTS UP
So thats it, you can now remove the SD card and this will be your logo on boot up, you can reset this logo as many times as you want!
