Remove your Operator Splash Screen ;-)

Ok Friends, you hate the T Mobile Operator Splash Image ? I too.
It looks like http://img9.imagepile.net/img9/25963wm6_default.png
Flash with RUU NoId the nk.nbf file.
It remove only your Operator Image not your OS !
Have Fun
Let me know if you have better Images.

Doesn't work for me, but thanks anyway
When I try this it comes up with ERROR [300] INVALID UPDATE TOOL
I have used lokwiz to CID unlock and SIM unlock but I still get this error.
Is there any way to apply this to my device?
Thanks

My Phone is unlocked.
I set him in Bootloader Moder and run the RUU, it takes a few seconds and the new Operator Logo is flashed.

have i understood this correctly?
does the image: http://img9.imagepile.net/img9/25963wm6_default.png become the operator logo instead of standard t-mobile logo, before wm5 or wm6 splashscreen come up?
and also no changes to OS are made - be that wm5 or wm6?
thanks for clarifying

Yes, when you SoftReset it comes the new Logo, than Ipl,Spl.... and than the Windows Logo, but the stupid white T Mobile Logo is gone - forever ;-)
And there are no changes about your ROM, no Hard Reset !
It replaces only the Operator Logo.

another question if i may?
how do i get the 'stupid white T Mobile Logo' back should i choose to? and by going back i would hope no OS features will be altered?
thanks

you will have to download the splash from internet, or someone could upload it to you, or... you could just perform a HR

Hi, two questions.
1. Does this work when the phone is CID locked? my ipl and spl is 2.06 and can't unlock CID with lokiwiz which only works with 1.xx, and can't flash old ROM bacause most roms say upgrade only and the only one that i found that does not check this, crashes in Vista...
2. And also, I've had lots of problems running different RUUs on Vista (they crash). Do you know if this one does?
Thanks for your help.
Oh, and I have really cool Prince of Persia flash images. Attaching if anyone wants.

1. Hmm, i dont know if it works on locked phones. My phone is unlocked and ipl/spl 3
2. Dont flash with Vista, RUU didnt work on this plattform, i´ve flashed my phone on xp.

Finally it works!
Right, I have no idea why this has worked but it has. I have been trying to get rid of the TMobile logo for ages and I always get the Error 300 get a new update utility error.
What seems to have worked it applying the Radio rom update first (from Pedro12 - http://www4.turboshare.de/v/454059/X...61.21.rar.html) and then applying it.
I did this by replacing the nk.nbf rado file with the one from the splashscreen zip. I now no longer have TMobile on my phone, EVER! Thanks to the people in the community helping us to get the most out of these phones.
I think my phone is CID locked and yet am running WM6 (2.5) and no TMobile splash screen! I just now need to get a life....(!)

Fantastic! works first time! using latest Charmer WM6 ROM

Cool.

How on earth do I upgrade on the HTC site??

Hi all,
Just bought myself a HTC Diamond on Orange yesterday, and have been browsing the forum to see what I can do in terms of customisation and other features of the phone.
The problem I'm having is that, after registering for HTC-UK's E-Club, I'm unable to find the Diamond on the Support page
[ http://www.htc.com/uk/Support.aspx ]
If I go to the HTC Europe Support page, the phone is there, but it says the ROM upgrade is not available for my phone after I enter my serial number.
The phone I have is not modified in anyway - by which I mean that Orange have seemingly kept the original HTC stuff on it...anyone have any idea as to how I can upgrade please?
Thanks.

Actually it worked in my friends HTC which we both bought from same place but when he entered his serial number in the eurpoe's htc site his S/N was recognised as dutch phone and he was able to download the copy of the ROM .
I think its just wait and watch game for UK rom to release

I dont know if u hae any idea about if i install this dutch rom and i have a problem am i unable to get my normal orange rom by doing hard reset ???

you can't upgarde a operator ROM whit the official HTC ROM.
For system updates you have to ask your operator, in that case Orange.

Orange Branded HTC Touch Diamond ROM Update?

Hi
Basically i just tried to download the latest ROM from HTC support and it wouldn't let me, kept saying "not suitable for your handset" after i put in my serial number. Basically e-mailed the support and they say that because my handset is orange branded, that I cannot download it from them. I have recently found another way to download the ROM, but in the email it said that orange may have made har or software changes to the phone. Will this mean that the ROM will not work? Have not yet tried for fear of bricking my phone!!!
Thanks

will most likely Brick it.
its the SPL that controls what ROMs you can flash.

That sucks.... my phone hasnt been updated yet, and is still pretty slow!
Cheers for the reply!

you can always flash a Hard SPL (i believe 1.37 is the preferred one).
you can flash back to the original ROM and SPL for warrenty reasons... i'd suggest making a note of the existing SPL version (can be found in Bootloader - Soft reset and Vol Down button).

Just checked, my SPL is 1.37.0000, does that mean I can update?

Orange have their own version of the latest 1.93 rom
It has MINIMAL changes - mainly the auto set up of Orange data etc
It's really fast and stable
Give that a try

You can dowload an up to date ROM from the Orange (UK) website - I downloaded it a few weeks ago. It is version 1.93.405.1. It works much better and quicker and has no Orange specific branding. Why not go for that one as then your warranty will not be affected

Hi, could you link that ROM, please?
Can't find it on the website.
Many thanks.

Here it is, enjoy it before Orange push out 1.97:

Hello!For Orange this is 1.93 and not 1.97.If yoy know where I can find the newest version,please let me know.Many thanks.KOEND

Orange are still on 1.93...

Would anyone know if the latest version is still 1.93.405.1? Or if there is another recommended version? I tried "cookie" and the few he has released which were nice but had some minor issues.

right now my htc diamond orange is unlocked means i can use any sim in the phone,so if i upgrade diamond orange rom to 1.93.405.1 version as u described here so it will lock the phone or i can use any sim?plss tellll

Original Rhodium Splash Screen

For those who have flashed the Beta HTC Europe WM6.5 ROM, you'll stuck with an ugly 'For Test Only, Not For Sale' splash Screen.
Attached is the orginal splash screen which I've extracted from the Original ROM.
You'll need Olinex HardSPL to flash.

Oh you're awesome! I was hoping someone had an HTC branded splash screen ready to go. Not digging T-Mobile pink at all.
BTW - do we have a thread started on custom power-on splash screens for the Rhodium? Maybe a how-to-make on the NBH file for the Rhodium? Is it similar to the Kaiser or other devices?

God bless you
all the best!

Ya Mun !!!!
Thanks for this....Legend !!

Fairly new to this, I have Energy rom installed now, Can I install this with it and get rid of the Gay - t-mobile STICK TOGETHER

Absolutely. That's the very reason why I flashed this.

How does the original look like? Got a screen shot?
EDIT: To get this on my phone all I got to do is the normal flash?

It's got a black background with 'Touch pro2' in the middle using the same font that HTC uses to put 'Touch PRO2' on the phone.
It's simple, HTC-branded, and it's not blaring white+pink.

Awesome, looks so much better, thanks For THIS A+

Flashed it this morning. Good looks!

What if you have to bring it back to stock so you can send the phone in? Do you have a copy of the T-Mobile Stick Together Splash Screen?

I'd imagine it would be part of the stock T-Mobile US ROM floating around here. Not for sure though.

Its not part of that ROM, is there any other way we could get it back becasue I need to exchange my phone, I have a messed up keyboard...

Does anyone have the technical know-how to do this but with the awesome Windows 7 little-spinning-balls one that I've seen on a 6.5 ROM somewhere?
I prefer 6.1, but do like that little animation

My phone keeps going into bootloader mode after I click on the RUU.exe file. Can anyone help me get past this?
TIA,
Chris

personally, i've returned many exchange devices without reflashing bootloader, radios, and splashscreens. as long as there's no water or alot of physical damage, you're fine. this is with tmobile us.

Just flash the stock T-Mobile ROM. All Stock ROM includes Radio, ROM and Splashscreen.

Make sure you have HardSPL installed to your phone prior to flashing the splashscreen.
If you already have, you can also put your device in bootloader mode, plug the device to your PC via the USB. Wait until the on-screen sign change from 'Serial' to 'uSB' and run the RUU.exe.

Thanks SJ.
I just flashed in the stock HTC splash screen. However, I still get the screen (tMobile) where all the pink words come together to form the pink square (stick together logo). Is there a download out there to replace this?
Also, on the initial screen, where it shows the red lettering in the bottom right hand corner, can this be taken off somehow?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

[Bootscreen] Attempt to Remove the Orange bootscreen?

Hi, ive tryed using the stock bootscreen update.zip, and it installs but it still doesnt get rid of the orange logo..
ive had a look in the system/media/bootscreen folder and its not got the orange logo in it...but then i found in the system/media folder that there is bootscreen files :
boot_bg.gif
boot.gif
boot2.gif
Orange.gif
boot.mp3
boot_animation.xml
so im guessing my hero isnt using the system/media/bootscreen folder for the bootscreen..and orange has changed it to just system/media..
so anyways what im looking for is someone with the knowledge of signing update.gifs to create one for me using the system/media folder instead of the system/media/bootscreen folder
or even help on how to make it myself?
thanks
Andrew

Sounds like you'll need to flash the SPL as that's where that logo is stored IIRC.
See http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/296389/24-nov-unlocked-spl-for-gsm-hero/ for GSM HERO ONLY!!
Be careful, as this can brick your phone if not done correctly...

you're talking about the splashscreen, not the bootscreen. as stated the splashscreen can only be changed through the hacked spl.

ok so what your saying is that orange has disabled the bootscreen. and only the splashscreen is shown. so no matter what bootscreen updates i do they wont work untill the splashscreen is changed?
i just dont know why they would use the same files one folder above the correct location.

Not quite. They are 2 separate things.
I've got a T-Mobile G2 (Hero branded by T-Mobile). I get a T-Mobile splash screen, then an HTC bootscreen (with the little 'android guys' popping their heads up). I could remove the T-Mobile one by flashing the SPL, and I can change the HTC one using those bootscreen files you mentioned.
See http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/296389/24-nov-unlocked-spl-for-gsm-hero/ again for more info...

Well the orange branded one i have is different from your t-mobile one.. because as ive stated in the 1st post
i have tryed changing the bootscreen to something else just tryed ( Nexus One/ showthread.php?t=605188) and it doesnt change at all it just stays with the orange logo then hero then htc.
So on my Orange Hero they must have changed the bootscreen directory to just system/media/ and NOT system/media/bootscreen.
in my system/media/bootscreen/boot_animation.xml is
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation
image="/system/media/bootscreen/boot1.gif"
image2="/system/media/bootscreen/boot2.gif"
loopimage="/system/media/bootscreen/boot2.gif"
image_bg="/system/media/bootscreen/boot_bg.gif"
audio="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3"
screenX="0"
screenY="90"
useAudio="0"
/>
</BootConfiguration>
which is correct after installing the Nexus bootscreen update i also checked the images they are correct too.
but in the system/media/boot_animation.xml is
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation
image="/system/media/Orange.gif"
image2="/system/media/boot_bg.gif"
image3="/system/media/boot.gif"
loopimage="/system/media/boot2.gif"
image_bg="/system/media/boot_bg.gif"
audio="/system/media/boot.mp3"
screenX="10"
screenY="180"
useAudio="1"
/>
</BootConfiguration>
as you can see this is the one thats still active because its still got the Orange.gif
... is there anyway that i could make the bootscreen update.zip use that folder instead.. so i can change that boot_animation.xml..

strange first orange hero to have a splashscreen, orange only implimented a bootscreen, this is the first I've heard of an orange splashscreen, when did you buy your phone?

I too have a UK Orange phone with the latest Orange ROM and I have never seen an Orange splashscreen - it is all HTC and android. Have you got the latest official Orange ROM from the HTC site?

i bought it ... last summer july or august i think.. its still got the original rom from its release 1.5 with build 1.76.61.3 146733 CL#46012 Release Keys.
it must be one of the 1st ones because i managed to unlock it with the code.. my friend has a hero from the same shop a month or two later and it wont unlock.

Try flashing the latest Orange Rom, which can be dowloaded from HTC's website here. It is version 2.73.61.5. HTC provide full instructions and it won't affect your warranty.
That is the ROM I have and, as I say, it has no Orange branding as far as i can see, other than a few bookmarks on the browser. But it is difficult to unlock - but that should not be a problem to you I guess as yours in now unlocked.

ok just an update.. i have managed to remove the orange bootscreen... Which WAS a bootscreen NOT a Splashscreen that someone with G2 said it was.. Orange must not be as smart with andriod unlike t-mobile.
and i never used the Hacked SPL
Heres how i did it.. using the system recovery (cyanogen mod v1.4+JF) i installed and update.zip version of the Stock HTC Generic 2.73.405.66 Rooted ROM from (android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/291942/22-jan-stock-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/)
after this finished ive got a HTC Hero from orange without the branding and also updated a bit...
hope this helps
