I have a T4242 device. I had up a custom rom that changed my boot screen (the very first screen after boot the device). Now I want to change this to my favourite imagine. Is there any way to change it?
Can some one helps me?
Thanks in advantage.
You can not change the first boot screen as is part of rom. But you can change the welcome screen. If you mean this, you must rename your image to welcomehead.96.png and copy it to windows folder(replace the original)
Thanks for your answer. Some device have a method to change 1st splash screen like prophet, raphael, kaiser, wizards...

etc,.
Maybe Iolite has not yet got a tool like that.
Yes, I know that there are some utils solutions, and you may try. But have in mind that all cases require a flashing proccess, and not an easy replace of a device's file. I've tried a similar solution on a qtek device a long time ago, but the result was a blank screen in place of the image.
This link seems to have more posibilities to succeed:

Please give us some feedback if you were succesfull and what method used......

Hello there,...
because several design thinks of me and also the possibility to do that know... i have made a custom splash screen for me and my tytn/hermes...
2nd cause is that the brand new htc p3300 of my friend is stolen just infront of our eyes.... and i'm sure that the phone get back to daylight in a small handy shop .... and with that costumization i think they must be very clever to reflash that... (hopefully the don't know about this forum )
in the attechment there are the 2 splash files (main + sub - not ident!! )
never mind me if it look for someone not nice about... i like it and maybe anyone too...

I also have thought about adding a custom splash screen, incase it is stolen. Would be even better (if....IF...the gps chip gets working) if a small app was made that can act as a homing device if it also ever gets stolen.?!?!

if the device connects to an Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2003 with SP2 they both support remote wiping which can be good
I just created a custom splash screen as well. BL 1.01 is pretty neat.
Someone point me to the utility to generate custom splashes for the Hermes (if it's out there!) as I've lost touch with the xda devs forum recently, been very busy and unable to keep up with what's going on :/
come guys, let's see some more splashscreens!
My Splash Screen
I pity the phewl that steals this pda
Mwhahahahaha
Kinda lame but still

Hi All,
I'm attempting to create a custom boot screen. Followed all the instructions in the wiki. My device has the 1.01 MFG bootloader, is SuperCID, currently with the imate rom etc etc.
Now I go ahead and enter in the commands as exactly in the wiki to change the mainsplash and subsplash with the following output (in this case the output for the subsplash):
USB>task 32
Level = 0
USB>lnb finalsplash.nb 50140000
:F=finalsplash.nb
:A=50140000
:O=00000000
:L=FFFFFFFFF
start NB image download.
Now this is all well and good, but nothing happens. It sits there for a long long time, and the result is I have to do the bad thing on shutting down mtty.exe and rebooting my hermes. What exactly am I missing?
I've checked the filename and filesize (262144 bytes) of the finalsplash.nb, all the orginal bitmaps/finalsplash.nb/splash.nb/padding.nb are there in the same folder. etc etc.
Do I have to be more patient or have I broken something somewhere, because the first time I attempted it, I got the filename wrong and typed in finalspash.nb (forgot the l), so had to disconnect the hermes and restart.
I've rebooted the device after pulling out the cable since doing the above. And it appears to be working (touch wood) still.
Thanks for you help in advance.

All the files I used to generate the finalsplash.nb are in the same folder, including the mtty.exe. I've remade the finalsplash.nb file twice to no avail.
Any other ideas? Should something appear on the hermes bootloader screen? As nothing appears on my bootloader screen at all.
I've tried recreating the finalsplash.nb using the bitmap image directly from the HTC 1.35 Rom. Again followed the exact same steps, but no joy.
One thing I must mention however, is that I had problems starting the nb_image_converter.exe. It kept giving me an error message that the comdlg32.ocx was missing or not registered. A quite search on the forum told me to download the ocx file and place it in the same directory as the exe application, which I did so by searching google (as recommended). This started the application, but may have something to do with this failure?
Okay I sorted out the problem. Seems that the mtty.exe I was using was a strange one. Dunno where I got it from, but it didn't seem to do the job.
All I did was take the mtty.exe from the 1.0.1bootloader zip file from the wiki, and use that. Then it worked instantly.
Thanks for you help though!
i did this
Here is what I have and here is what I hope to have as soon as Kyphur and crew get done.
Well decided to give something back to the community, even though its not that major. Thought someone might want it. I've adapted these existing images from images I've found on the net (through google) and unashamedly stolen.
One of them is supposed to be hermes's (the greek god) winged helmet. Attached some previews, and the bitmap images in the zip file.
anybody tried to make animated splash screen like cingular AKU 3.3 rom?
the image is from *.gif file in %windir% and also the startup sound.
but maybe there is some engine to load the gif image and sound.
is it still related to *splash.nb ?
Hi, can anyone explain more the animated splashscreen?
i think thats not the splashscreen that we speak here about,... maybe its the windows startscreen (in test rom: green (mobile))
@ GeneNZ
velly nice...
good work.

I've found that there are 2 versions of mtty in the wiki.
One version 48 kb (version 0.01) - this is the one that stalls.
The version in the 1.0.1bootloader zip file is 56kb (version 1.11a) - this one works perfectly.
I kinda liked the AT&T logo from 2.06, so I made this for my new Xda-live install. Enjoy
I use my VJSihaya babe for my boot screen and welcome96.png screen (sorry, don't have cab to hand, but imagine this cropped to 320x240 in top right):
So the phone is booting up, and the wife wacks me on the shoulder and says "why are you looking at other girls?". Good thing she didn't look at what was on the storage card

for the 8525, can i get this on my TyTN that i am running the Vanilla WM6 on? i dont really like the splash screen built in and would like that animated 3G at&t one?
hi, download the cingular wm5 aku3.2 ROM and use nbhextract to extract the .nb files.
two of them will be the boot splash screens. You can flash them to your device as long as you have bootloader 1.01mfg on your hermes. Please see the wiki under Bootloafer 1.02 for more info. It has detailed info on how to flash the boot screen images.
the animated splash is not installed as a splash, its actually in the rom! It requires a gif, some dll's (which im not sure which ones exactly) and some reg keys to make it work.
I am personally trying to get rid of it.
I got the volume turned down, but now just trying to find a way to remove it.

ok,u can change it but u must do some steps.
1/back up your data
2/download a origin rom from your PDA's website
3/flash it with this rom(don't extract this file,use *.exe)
4/flash it again with a rom,hard SPL,radio those u R using
5/restore your data
your splash screen will be change.i did it.my XDA neo splash was changed from O2 origin to O2 race (BMW)
What happened?
Probably you used a WM5.NVID RUU to prepare your device (Step1) for flashing another ROM.
The two startup screens (we call them splashscreens) are some specific picture-files that CAN be installed when a RUU is executed. The upgrade RUU's you find here don't bother with that, but the official vendors are very eager to have their own logo on yor device, so their RUU's contain a splashscreen section in the RUU. It does nothing more then change the startup picture.
So if you want to change back, it will only be cosmetic, there are no software changes whatsoever.
In this forumsection, there is a thread that offers a splashscreen-changer. So, if you can find the original dopod picture files, you can use that tool to chage only the startupscreens. If you have the original Dopod RUU, you could extract the splash-file.
thanks .. will find d splashscreen changer now...
If I rember correctly, user named Lastnikita develloped it. I think he posted in the general section as well.

1- extract nk.nbf from the ROM contains the splash you want using this tool and this command
Code:
typho5 nk.nbf -x
2- now use the tool nb2nbf like this:
Model ID: PM300
Language: WWE
oem version: leave blank
operator version: leave blank
CID: delte it, leave blank
only the file 92000000-Splash.nb and delete others like this: write or chose exatly like this
files 1: 92000000-Splash.nb, choose Splash Screen from image name the start address will become 92000000
3- press translate
4- flash the new nk.nbf with the NVID_Gx

Oh yes please. If anyone has it, please do share. If not, can someone who has the latest Official ROM for 818Pro, please upload to rapidshare. I can't get to the ROM download section because the HTC registration page don't seem to accept my device's serial number.
Thanks in advance.
the links work to me
download the latest Official ROM for 818Pro from dopod site, I have only I-mate and qtek splash
hope to say welcome in advance
Can someone try to extract the one from the following link that I found online that works. No idea if it is the latest version. I'm not at home now so haven't got access to my machine to try on this. Hope to hear the good news.

Hi,
I've flashed my nike with the phantom v1.2, then with the nike pro, but the first screen remains.
Now my slide is broken and i have to send it back to the warranty office. I reverted to the original rom, but the first screen still remains. How can i remove it? i think the warranty won't work if this screen is visible?
Thank you all for your future help!!

You need to flash your carrier's Bootsplash! Otherwise you'll have a problem!
Where can i find how to flash my bootsplash?
First, what's your operator ?
For the splash screen, just try searching "<operator name> splash".
Then, have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367370
It explain how to make a simple picture become a splash screen.
But remember there are 2 splashes on the Niki startup : replacing only one won't give you the expected result...
as far as i know on software and warranty on hardware are two different things. By setting HardSPL and flashing a new rom you only lose the software warranty, not the warranty on the hardware part (as far as the damaged hardware doesnt result from your software changes...).
As the new rom cant have effected your slide warranty should be no problem, even with hardspl, a custom rom and the most stupid bootscreens possible...
(just something i read on another board... you might try asking for some legal guidance on one of the general boards here at xda-devs)

From radio reports of the phone sellers here, they will try everything under the sun not to honour a warranty. If anything is amiss, they will blame it, and either not repair the phone, or give you the runaround. You may still get it fixed in the end, but not after a lot of cursing/swearing/wasted time, not to mention phone being unavailable for extended period.
Thank you all, yes i think i should try to restablish the original setting, by i can't remember what was my first splash screen, now after having set the original rom i have:
- first : the custom screen of phantom V1.2 with info of the rom
- the HTC animated gif
- the windows mobile screen
So two questions :
- what is the original first screen? is it the operator one (bouygues telecom) or just a black screen with info of the system?
Thank you
For Bouygues, it's very simple since they let the original french ROM without any customisation.
Try to find the original spalsh screen from HTC on the forum and flash it. If you don't find, I may still have it somewhere on my HD...
hi antubis,
Thanx for the tip, but i don't remember what was the original splash (now there's the htc animated one, and the WM one(the green)). Is there one before? I'm quite lost because my phone really don't work anymore, a niki without the touch screen is really lame!!
There's a black splash with "Smart mobility" before if I remember.
If you don't find it on the forum, I'll have a look when I'll go home tonight
Here are the 3 screens i have on my phone, i think the first one has to be removed or replaced by another one.
This is the thread on how to flash the startup screens.

"This is the link to the original HTC startup screens:

Thank you so much, it works fine, now i can return my phon, hoping that they won't find that i installed HARDSPL...
BYE
Remember you have to flash the original SPL after having restored everything, then they will never know anything
This question is probably for the more experienced chefs
I would like to remove (erase) the very first boot splash in my HTC Leo. I looked through the forums and found many posts which tell you how to make your own boot splash and replace the existing one, but nothing about how to completely erase the area in the rom, where the bootsplash resides. I tried to make my own "blank" nbh, which would do the trick of clearing the bits of the splash by simply overwriting them, but was unsuccessful. My expectation was that I would just make a normal splash.nbh (using nbimg.exe) and then replace the BMP image data with 0x00 or 0xFF and that would do it... Well, it didn't. I even examined the nbh from Task29 with a hex editor, but imagine my surprise, when I found out, that it is not empty at all but has a lot of stuff in it.
So I beg the experienced chefs to please make an empty/blank splash.nbh which can be used to erase the boot splash, or point me in the direction of what to read, so I can understand how to make one myself
Best regards and thank you for your help!
