I just finished the flashing of 2.16.9.1 WWE from I-mate.This rom offers us THREE splash screens which was only one before.The 1st is HTC Screen(ugly),2nd is I-Mate(more ugly),3rd is WindowsMobile(I love M$-Blue).OMG,we get a gallery when it starts...
Any good folk has any idea about changing them?
Cheers.
The older Qtek aku2 has the same set of splash screens.
adaik only the 2nd one can be changed via ie. the aWizard tools
Ooops,sorry for my stupid excitement...I didn't do that flash...
I tried the aWizard3b2 to change it and none of them change... on the 2.8.7.1 ROM did it change the bootloaders too? (aren't IPL and SPL the bootloaders?) IPL/SPL after the 2.16.9.101 they are 2.16
I used the sample bootscreen to make sure I was doing it right. I am going to try and see if the nba splash screen file from my rom dump prior to the upgrade will work
update: no even using the nba file aWizard3b2 does not replace the splash screen. any ideas?
what worked on the 2.8 Qtek aku2 rom is putting a bmp (several are posted on the forum, use search) as the 2nd splash screen using awizard tools.
My bootloader is 2.08
Awizard cant write, following error:
CopyFileToTFFS(unlocked.bin:0, 0, 00010000)
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - An internal error occurred.
:S cant update the splash :S
did you enable rapi using aWizard first?

I have the same error since the new i-mate rom.. Not only while uploading splash screen, but also unlocking, etc. Hopefully they'll update lokiwiz for this new rom..
BTW: It feels like this new rom boots slower.. Because I see all three splash screens for about the same time as I saw the ONE before. So 3 times slower?? Did anyone time it?
i also see the same 3 splashs with the i-Mate rom update. used aWizard to replace splash, everything seemed to work fine (no aWizard errors) but alas the Imate splash & MS Win logos remain... =(
just FYI
I get the same internal write error, after I upgraded.
i did use a bmp file in awizard (one of the ones on the xda ftp site) and it aWizard3b2 didn't change any of the 3 boot screens. Isn't there suppsed to be a place to put a bmp file in the windows directory to change the bootscreen?
Bootloaders are 2.16 in the 2.16.9.101 file.
Hi guys,
I have been researching this for days.
1) AWizard CANNOT change the 2nd splash screen with the latest ROM, it used to be able to, it now cannnot until it is updated to work with the latest rom, which I hope will be soon. On mine (latest imate rom) it fails with the ITWritedisk:blah message.
2) AWizard never had the capability to replace the first HTC logo. I understand this is a work in progress, and someone needs to find a solution. Anyone?
3) You can easily replace the 3rd) (microsoft windows) splash screen by connecting your device via active sync, and then browsing your pockect pc on your pc. Go to /windows and find the .png file called welcomehead.96.png Simply replace that with your custom png in the same dimensions.
If anyone finds a way round replacing 1) or 2) with the latest rom, please post it here. I gues we need to wait for awizard to be updated.

I can't replace the PNG file, nor can I un-read-only it with Total Commander. It doesn't "take".

are you copying straight to "\windows\" from your desktop? If so, try coping to "\temp\" instead, then on your PPC itself copy from "\temp\" to "\windows\"
That worked... thanks....

What you can try.
if you have the seral message on your screen then just replace it in cradel and rerun the no_id application.
Are you SURE that you are using a valid ship.exe file and that you have extracted all the files and are following the upgrade instructions for 1.42 as per wilki.

We have had a few (very few) that were not able to do an upgrade form thier pc. Not sure if this is a USB issue or software but after all the suggestions that we gave these people and none of them worked all they had to do was move over to a different pc and it worked.
So we know that the wiki 1.42 upgrade page works, that the file works and that the instructions are correct. Best for you is to try a different pc.
As i'm a newbe in PPC..n have read all in this forum...that such hard things to change bootsplash image on BlueAngel, is there anyway to change it rather than four coloured strip
As i read from ExtendedRomSourceFileFormat.xls i've downloaded from FTP that in ms_.nba file -> splash image addressed on 0x010080 with its length 153600 in bytes. How bout in nk.nbf / nk.nba?
Is it have the same address..?? n how do i can replace it with other image file (of course in same size)...sorry if i'm wrong :wink:

Didnt work for me
Ive tried that and it didnt work for me on my PH20B1. I wish I was able to see or even make the Cingular boot splash comes up when Im using 2oo3Se but of course you see the 4 block colors over it.
I have done it on my Siemens SX66 Blue Angel Variant and it worked just fine. (PH20B1)
Make sure to copy the files into the right directory. I noticed that once i downloaded the files, i wasn't able to copy the files into the BA due to write protection on the files. Once I turned that off, I was able to copy it and manually change the registry files.
:idea:
How did you manually install it into your Siemens SX66? I went back to 2oo3SE mainly because there arent alot of QVGA skins for Wisbar Advance & Wisbar Advance Desktop however if I decide to which back to WM5 I would be interested in changing the boot splash. I would love to take a visit to my local Cingular Retail where I live and show off my Siemens SX66 with WINDOWS MOBILE 5.
Coloured Strip Bootsplash Remained Still
It also work for my Blue Angel (PH20B - O2 XDA IIs) too.
But, coloured strip bootsplash image still remained for while before it change into my own bootsplash image which changed by that bootsplash image changer tool. It work fine on my device, when I use 2003SE.
Have the answer ?? :?:
So do I have to install it on WM2oo3SE first then install WM5?

Nop. I mean...when I use WM5, the coloured stripe bootsplash image still remained. In other word, we can't totally change the coloured strip bootsplash image with that tool.
But, when I use WM2003SE, the original O2 bootsplash image can be replaced/changed with my own design image
I don't think procedure u mentioned (install WM2003SE then WM5) will work. coz I've already try it but Mr.Coloured Strip Bootsplash still show his nose up.. :lol:
I'm trying to create and flash a custom splash screen to my kaiser. I,ve created an image in photoshop, and saved it as a 24 bit bitmap. So far so good. Then I open the bmp in nb_image_converter and convert it to a .nb file. I then open up htcrt, and choose kaiser from the device drop-down. Leaving all fields (model ID, Country ID, version etc.) at their default values, I load the .nb file into the splash box and build the Ruu_Signed.nbh, choosing to pad the file with 0's. Everything seems to go well, but when I flash the file, all I get is a blank white splash screen. What am I doing wrong? I would really like to have a custom splash to show off!! HEEEEELP!!
Shameless bump.
Was searching for a solution to the same problem you had.
Did you manage to fix it in the mean time?
Did you convert .nb file again with SplashTool? I gues not
I took the following steps:
Created a 24 bit BMP file.
Used nbimg.exe to convert the file to splash.nb
After this I used NBHUtil.exe to create the .nbh file.
At the end I flashed the device using CustomRUU.
Strange thing is that when I try splash screens by other people the screen stays white. Flashing complete ROM now to see if it helps.
Update: probably screwed things up. Even when flashing a new ROM the splash screen stays white :S
It does show the information on the bottom while booting.. ...will continue searching

You haven't used SplashTool after converting bmp file to nb.! Read my previous post
Sorry 'bout this.. ..been looking for about 4 hours now for a solution.
Can't even think straight :S I'm having this problem with the Diamond so it should not be even in here!
Did tried the SplashTool btw everything looked successful but the splash screen stays white. Will post in the Diamond section now.
TnX 4 the help. Got the idea I kinda screwed up the splash part of the device.
Hi there
re: HTC Himalaya. how do I change the first bootscreen? Pls can you give links to tools and provide instructions.
Cheers
I think what you are referring to is the welcome screen? Perhaps do a search for welcome.96 and see what comes up.
I had it in mind you just made an image the size of the welcome screen image and named it welcome.96.png and then just dragged it into the Windows folder (it will overwrite the original).
Having said that, Google it and find out how to do it exactly, don't take my word for it. But you should have enough information frfom what I have said to find out more.
I see its your First post..Welcome to xda-developers..sspecially for choosing Himalaya
To Change the Splash Screen..follow these steps :
Open any Image Editor
or Choose any Image that is 240*320 In Size
Its format Must be .PNG
and rename it to " welcomehead.96.png " (note : png is the extension )
connects your device via Active Sync or copy the splash screen to your Devices and replace place it in the \Windows Folder..it will ask to over right..Select Yes and You are done
Soft-Reset and Enjoy
PS. Search the Forum for ALOT of welcomeheads
the screen I want to change is the very first one that is shown when the machine is turned on, i.e. it appears as the device is booting up. Hope this makes sense.
Oh I suspect then you are not talking about Welcomehead/Splashscreen. Does the screen you are talking about feature the logo or name of a phone company/service provider? IE Telstra, Optus, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, etc
yes, that's the one. On booting up it is replaced by the welcome screen, and then the wallpaper. I'm using Ather's 'Dark Edition'
i would like to change this very first image too. I hope someone know how to do it.
Hrmm, not sure how possible it is. I have both the o2 logo on one phone and Telstra on the other which I wanted to remove. I dare say it is part of the radio rom, not the OS rom. Basically, you can flash the Radio to a different version, just as you can flash the Operating System, though some say it is a bit more difficult.
No matter what rom I flash, those logos are always there, so I suspect they are part of the radio rom. I will investigate.
EDIT: Okay this guy has created a program to do it for the Prophet only, but he may be the person to ask as I would suspect he had the general knowledge of how to do it by hand before he created the program.

Thoses two can be changed by editing the ExtRom file (ms_.nbf) from a 2003 Rom..Search the forum for WM2003 Edit in the Himalaya Wiki...i have also uploaded a Clean extrom..just replace the images init and then place it in the folder where your HimaUpgradeUT_noid.exe is and flash as normal
here is the ExtROM file : http://rapidshare.com/files/82299532/ms_.nbf
I think this way was working in WM5
Install extromunlocker
Soft reset
Start
Program
ExtROMTools
Unhid
Unlock
Folder will appear in the root
Inside this folder is the image need to be change
But I traied this extromunlocker cab file in WM6.1, I could not find the Extrom.
Thanks for the method - however, I'm new to this and would appreciate a bit more hand-holding if you don't mind. Can you give a more detailed stepwise method?
TIA
It wont work if u ahve Partitioned your DOC..because that was the Storage where these files were kept
Well ok..just tell me what u cant understand
See here ..
Hi,
as Ather described, I did it successfully last year this way
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=220799&page=12)
as described, I restored my ExtRom with DOC_Restore, took the T-Mobile 1.72 Update (http://xdazone.india372.server4you.d...d.php?id=3373), extracted the ms_.nbf (ExtROM) , changed the splashes with "Windows Mobile 2003 ROM Editor" and updated the ExtROM. Works well.
I'm not sure if the t-mobile extrom could be used for other version of Himalaya than the MDA II.

Hello,
I've got from a friend who works in HTC a sample of the Touch diamond 2.
The phone is fully working but I would like to change one thing:
WHEN I SWITCH ON THE CELL, THE VERY FIRST SPLASH SCREEN THAT APPEARS SAYS: "SMART MOBILITY - TEST ONLY NOT FOR SALE".
Does anyone know a way to delete the sentence "TEST ONLY NOT FOR SALE"?
Thanks
..use an other rom! changing the splash screen menas a bit cooking!
Flash a official rom, that should fix it for you. Most cooked roms here dont include that first loadscreen.
I tried!
Guys, I have just installed a new ROM (EnergyROM_TOPAZ_20090921_StandardM2.5) but nothing changed..the "test only not for sale" sentence is still there!
Any other idea to replace the phrase?
Thanks
Maybe you could just look away when that phrase is displayed
Hi,
look at this Post. I.ve attached there a file to change the first screen
If you want to make your own look here's HOWTO (sorry, but only in german)
cheers
[HOWTO] change first SplashScreen
I,ve decided to write a Tutorial for this in (my poor) english. Even i don't know if someone needs this
Maybe some MOD can edit the title of the thread.
How To for the exchange of the initial SPLASH SCREEN
Important: I take no responsibility for any damage!
The image that appears when you turn on the device and then displays the versions of radio, ROM and protocol
HSPL is needed!
Here we go:
We need a 24BIT *.bmp in a Dimension 480x800
Extract the content from the attached file to c:\
Put your Picture in the new created Folder
With CMD (start menu, run, cmd) change in this Directory by typing: cd c:\Splash HD
Now type: nbimg -F *.bmp -p 18400 (* = name of your Picture) to start the Conversation
There’s now a new File in the Folder e.g. *.bmp.nb. Because we need a File with 786.432 byte it’s necessary to check the Dimension. If it doesn’t fit delete the File and go to next step.
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
To got the right Dimension you must use the Difference between with the following command: nbimg -F *.bmp -p 18400 (18400 is for Example, please use your calculated Value). Repeat Step 6. and 7. until you’ve got the right Dimension
When this is done type: htcrt.exe and then close CMD
[FONT="]Click on Build![/FONT]
[FONT="]
[/FONT]
Ignore warning by choosing Splash and finally click Build!once again
Now we have a flashable File.
rename *.nbh to TOPAIMG.nbh.
Copy TOPAIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
Turn off your device by using the Power Button.
Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.
After that your device with have a white screen with text " Press to power button for continue upgrade or Press Volume down button for cancel upgrade , select press to power button and it will start upgrade Rom.
Reset

ok on further close scrutiny, the picture is rotated right 16 pixels and the bottom 100 pixels are not displayed (I made a grid to work that out, how sad am I)
The picture I'm using is this http://www.mobinations.com/en/cell-phone-wallpaper-preview.php?w=ford-mustang-[6].jpg
obviously I convert it to a 24bit bmp first!
Have saved bmp from jpeg in both mspaint and photoshop and have same result, are they to fault? what do you use to make the bmp?
Ok, i will look at the picture. In the meantime you could try the file below attached.

splash screen problem.
Hi, I tried all the files and methods above and the splash screen changes.
However the bootup sequence of my splash screen is now different, but it still didn't get rid of the carrier splash screen (China mobile) in my case. I'm a little stumped, so if anyone can give me a hand on this, it would be great.
After flashing it now boots as follows:
1) it boots up as the New picture after it has been flashed.
2) China Mobile carrier splash screen.
3) HTC splash screen.
and then it boots into the phone.
Is there a way to get rid of the splash screen for china mobile in the 2nd step?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Put the attached files in your windows folder with totalcommander or resco explorer and overwrite existing files.

Hi lcd4linux. Do you have the original HTC boot up .gif? You know the one where just the brand "HTC" with white letters comes up on a plain black background.
The Vodafone boot up is just too... red for my taste

still can't get rid of carrier splash screen
Hi all,
I still can't get rid of the carrier splash screen (China mobile). I want to either remove it or change it to something else...
I have tried everything on this forum.
I've used the above splash.zip, and also the topaimg file, and the very first splash screen changed to the pictures provided.
Also, I have used lcd4linux and bl4ckb1rd method for changing the default windows splash screen.
HOWEVER, what I want to do is change the boot screen that has the carrier splash screen... that doesn't change, even when I flash a new rom such as dutty's leo r4 rom, or the energy photon rom.
Again, the bootup sequence is:
1) 1st splash screen - Which has been changed using lcd4linux and the files provided by angdolphin by using a topaimg and flashing it.
2) Carrier splash screen (china mobile) - WHICH STILL DOESN'T CHANGE.
3) Windows 6.5 splash screen which has been changed to the splash screen provided by lcd4linux and bl4ckb1rd by copying 2 files into the windows folder.
I read somewhere one other way to change the carrier splash screen is to flash a stock rom. Any suggestions?
Stuck.
Thanks heaps everyone.
