Lost my splash screen - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Hi,
I've read through the posts on modifying your splash screen, but my problem is not addressed in the posts - my Cingular 8125 goes from the Cingular splash page directly to the OS....I'm not seeing the Windows Mobile splash screen at all anymore. Before this began I did go thru some software install/uninstall issues and did end up having to do a hard reset - did something get corrupted?
I've made notes of the procedures posted here about modification of the splash screen, but I'd like to get back to Square One first.
Ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Backup the things/aps you have installed and reflash the official Cingular ROM. Voila, square one achieved.

Thanks for the tip - I'll do the research on this, because I think I've seen horror stories about people flashing ROM and bricking thier devices...

Research is always good, but you won't have a problem as long as you stick to your service provider's official ROM.

Double check that you have the file welcomehead.96.png (in \Windows) and it is 320x320, file size 26KB.

Does it always have to be 26K, cus i did my own and it is greater then that and i have no problems!

alternative extended_rom+splash screens for summiter ROMhere

thEsE files are only for the HTC WIZARD
this post is in response to the request from this thread ;http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=52521&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Upgrading only the radio or the splash and extended-rom will not wipe any setting from you device. It only updates the respective part that you are flashing.
This is a proper extended-rom[for sumiter rom wizard custom AKU 2.3 ROM but it should work with any 2xxx rom].nbf is not a folder containing the files
To install unzip the folder and run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe
You will not lose any setting that you have in your rom. It simply updates the extended-rom.
when’d you decide to hard reset you device again the extended rom will load automatically as in the official rom , there it is .no Cingular stuff .
download my extended rom from here EXTENDED-ROM-FOR NON-CINGULAR-USERS
how to install? simply run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe that is inside every splash screen and extended rom folder[/b]
more splashes coming soon.please post your requests and if you like my work please say thank you a least .

Hi Faria,
Thanks for this handy utility. Are you still working on a kind of manual about cooking your own rom?
Nico
faria, thank you for your Vodafone splash screen its awesome!
I wanted to ask you is it possible to have HTC logo?
To gooshy
First you should cid unlock before doing anything using the lokiwiz tool, then flash the new rom .as for how does my extended-rom fixes the problem of the guy with the £40 bill is simple;Is phone was dialling out to get is email and because he installed the default extended-rom he has all the Cingular gprs/dialup settings to access email/web ,so is device was using the American settings to dial out from the uk to get is mail. since I have remove such settings from my extended-rom , there is no danger of any bills .

Thankyou faria for your response. This has put my mind at ease.
I have spotted a slight problem since updating. When I send a text message, the receiver gets the message twice. Im not sure if this is a ROM issue, a setting issue or a T-Mobile issue. Just wondered if anyone has had this problem before?
Thanks for all your work.
Cheers.

great work .. thanks
could u make it import any image into the tool?
like insert "MyOwnBestIspWhatsoeverSplashLOGO"?
update
update
I have successfully created a new test extended rom for any wizard with 2xxx rom versions regardless of the carrier.
the best thing is that this extended rom has carrier settings in it for UK/AUSTRALIA /SOUTH AFRICA/PORTUGAL/NEW ZEALAND/NORWAY/AND Nederland’s ,so wend the extended rom loads a dialog comes up and you chose the particular carrier setting that you want, after selecting it just install automatically.or you could just press cancel and no carriers setting will be isntalled but the remaining items will be.nice.
I have also manage to hack the program called [wm5torage] so now it can be installed from the extended rom ,I have also made the program 30% lighter and it works flawless
Also it has registry setting on it like; gps icon back, performance tweaks etc, etc...
At the moment imp putting a few more settings programs into it like a tiny program that actually closes the applications and it is only 4kb.
It is not ready to public release. But will be soon if anyone is interested. Are you?[/

How are you making these? I can't figure out which application to use to try to reverse engineer this but you seem to have this down to a science. Any help is appreciated!

kyphur is correct 1 wrong move and you have a dead device. the reason that it is difficult to do a tutorial on how to cook roms is because you need to mess with several tool/programs/encode/decode/convert flash,etc,etc.etc...there is not a simple straightforward way of doing it, my Wizard is only 2 months old and have learn to cook roms unlock simply by reading the xda,also a lot has been guess work and brain power because no one is prepared to help you kill you device .at the moment I m very busy but I plan to write a tutorial in how to cook your extended rom.
in another note there is 2 new splashes uploaded

Charmer Operator Splash Screen Updating

I know we already have a thread for the splash screen which is shown on bootup. Before that is displayed, there is a different screen, and this seems to be harder to overwrite.
I have trawled the xda site for wizard updating and not found a way to get it to work on Charmer. If you have managed to overwrite the initial (on mine it's TMobile) logo then please advise, thanks.
Me too in the same boat. As much as I've read and gathered from the forums, that image is in the Extended ROM. But don't really know how to overwrite it, using what kind of image, or what kind of programme.
Advice, someone???
Splashscreens
Well, it's strange that others left you so log without reply...
Easy solution:
1) download http://rapidshare.com/files/30404684/splash.zip.html
2) unzip
3) create splash.bmp, 320 height 240 width
4) flash it...
enjoy.
Didn't work for me
Thanks for this. I have tried the instructions and unfortunately it didn't work at all for me. I get an error as follows:
hm, looks like error
try to run enablerapi.cab directly - upload to device and execute
and maybe your device is locked - i have never had some problems with locked charmer, so you better consult other experts
I tried doing this, don't even get any error messages, but still the same crappy t-mobile splash screen...
dunno what to do..
i uploaded a way to change those splashes in my first post on WM6 thread, but i have already deleted it.

help mda messed up

after i used button's 1.05 ROM i cant get no usb and its very slow not i cant install HTC Wizard Unlocker UPDATE Version 0.2b
Do you mean no activesync by no USB? Try flashing it again through bootloader screen or try flashing the official rom of your provider through the bootloader.

Once at the bootloader screen, what do you do next? I've been stuck here for a little while now and can't figure out what to do while in this mode.

Yes, I've been over that, and some of the related links from that thread, but so far I still can't find the missing piece. All of the tips point to using an updater to load Wizard Love, but I still get a communication error. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I'd also point out that while this may be my third 4th post, I'm not really new at this. I am new at having problems. I've flashed this phone probably a dozen times in the past year and have never had a problem. I've going over the sticky threads and tutorials, but what I'm missing is how I actually get wizard love to load. So far, it still does a check for the phone through activesync, then tries to run RUUGetinfo.exe and EnterBootloader.exe to which copies nk.nbf. So far the central issue seems to be establishing a connection. Since I am already in the boot loader (the red, green, blue, white screen) I need to be able to copy nk.nbf, which is what I cannot figure out. So far, I haven't found anything useful on this.

When you just plugin USB cable. Does it say USB on the left bottom of your screen? After this you should just use the RUU. Maybe it helps to uncheck allow USB connections in activesync.
Most people having problems flashing from bootloader (communication error) can succesfully flash from another XP machine. Have you tried that?

Any way of restoring Stock SPL via SD card method or otherwise (semi-broken phone)

Hi all,
Apologies if there is any kind of answer to the following elsewhere - I've looked for a few hours, but haven't stumbled across anything.
My phone has developed an issue, whereby the SE logo will display - along with the green Windows Mobile logo, before resetting.
I've been able to reflash the original stock ROM (hence the WM splash screen), but need to now restore the SPL to send this off for a repair.
Any ideas how I can do this (considering I can't connect this via ActiveSync to the PC)?
Thanks very much all,
FatalSaviour

though I normally don't recommend it for spl: you might want to give SD method a try
strange your stock rom doesn't boot though, hope trying to flash spl doesn't scramble it completely
otherwise consider using task 29 to wipe memory and start a new with the stock rom, but read instructions carefully before you try it
gl anyway

[Q] splash screen problem,

hello all, i have a strange problem with the splash screen, i have two kaisers, one i use and one i test on, anyways i have flashed a bunch of roms to this phone, and one i tried was ReBurn_113MB_Lite_V2.0(which changes the splash screen to look like a bios screen), after deciding i did'nt like it i flashed back to my own customized rom,(has its own splash screen) but the "bios screen" stayed
(just on the part where the info comes up (radio,version, ect)it boots to my splash then goes to this bios screen,then back to my startup animation and boots wm6.5, i have now flashed several roms in an attempt to get rid of it, have changed hardspl several times, several radios, (i tried to mtty task 2a but mtty don't seem to be getting through somehow, any ideas, any help appreciated (not really a problem my device still boots fine, it just bugs me, I did do several searches and haven't found anything so far)
