Best way to change splash image? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

hey, I have searched and searched, and tried various methods of changing the image before the IPL and SPL are shown, and also the image whilst the IPL and SPL are shown, however nothing has been successful. I want to change them because I have flashed a new ROM onto my Wizard but the old images remain.
Which is the most efficient and easy way to do this?
Thanks

Surely somebody must know how to do this. I have tried about 4 ways now, and nothing damn works!!!!
Please, somebody must have changed the splash/boot screen with Wm6.1

Maybe....
Maybe you dont get the exactly size of the pictures please visit my sky drive and download the files zip that said 3 splash screens read carefully the instruction on .txt i already change my 3 splash screens but when I exceed the size the screen doesnt change... There i have too the original splash screens and some from my creation....

3 Splash screens bricked wizard
Hi
I downloaded your 3 splashscreens zip file and use the tools carefully step by step to create the nk.nbf file to flash to my wizard. When I run the RUU all seemed fine, up until 66% at which point the process freezes on the device, after a while the pc screen moves to 83% then reports a communication error and starts taking me through a "Recovery" process (taking battery out etc.) when that's done, all I get is the bootloader and have to re-flash my rom to get the phone working again.
Any ideas why this may be? I'm using XP to do it, have tried a replacement new usb cable, but that made no difference.
Edit: I tried again with your images and it worked! Now have HTC default splash at startup but grey-black fade is very banded and looks dreadful. Will have to try a different ones.

Here's a little tutorial and the zip provided by + Que PPC...

Boot Image

how do i change it? there was Another thread about it
which said i have to replace welcomehead96.png 320x320 should be replaced with the Image you want to set as the new boot loader image
I did that welcomehead96.png etc
before changing it i Viewed it and i found it to be the typical Green coloured WM5 image which we all have
i m ok with that
and i dont want to change that
Image i want to change is the one, when i Soft Reset the Device
4 lines/bars red green yellow blue etc. appear
which stay for a while before the green wm5 image appears
I want to change those 4 Lines/bars image
what do we call that image?[it is also called as boot load image?]
Can it be changed?
you need to download .cab file with those screens, they floats around
Such a cab, after installation, save logo into extended ROM (in WM5 you still have ext ROM even if not visible)
Prior to installation you must unlock ext ROM
I don't know if it's easy to replace image in CAB with your own and would be glad to know. I would also like to know how to backup existing splash images.
hmmm
that s still not an answer
though i appreciate your concern

O2 and other providers can change it, theoritically so could we. but so far none of us know how to do it.
boot image
I asked this question some time ago 2 and the answer i got was also that it wasn't possible.
This is because the real boot image just isn't loading when you instal WM5 but when you use WM2k3 the boot image is installed with the ms_.nbf file. So maybe if you find a way to modify it you can change the boot image for WM2k3 and if you after find a way to load it with WM5 it should be (theoratically) changed.
I'm not a programmer so i still can't work with all the stuff to find it out myself. Maybe this can help a programmer to find a way to change it that would be very nice.
It would not work
WM5 has a difrend way for handling boot images, i am sure there is a way to change it , because i have seen it in many wm5 devices. But noone outside operators and microsoft does not know how to do it ...
I hope that we will find out some day

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.

Is there any way to replace the T-Mobile boot screen before the splash?

I am just wondering if there is any cab file anywhere that replaces the T-Mobile boot screen where it tells you your IPL and SPL. I would like it to say HTC Wizard in all caps and be some kind of black screen similar to the T-Mobile pattern.
I have seen different boot screens before such as the wizard love rom with the final fantasy X boot screen.
If it is possible to change this without re-cooking the rom then please let me know.
Thanks, Dan.

the *.cab files replace the OS splash screen. The *.ZIP files contain *.nbf file that replaces (using the exe) the first screen.
Is there any way to install it without using the exe file because the ruu_splash.exe application won't work to install the SP splash screen because i found one i really like.
if you read that link, you have all the info you need to know on to create your own splash screens and how to get them to work. its in the first couple of pages or so

[Q] Problems after a dodgy install.

DaveShaw Edit:
Split the thread from the NBH Extract thread.
Hi there!
First off all thanks for the great help and all the hard work you all doing!
Keep on going!
I have problem extracting my "RUU_signed.nbh" file using the the "NBHextract" tool. The "nbh" file I need is from the:
"RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship" Rom.
I'm trying to extract with the CMD, or trying to drag & drop the "RUU_signed.nbh" onto the "NBHextract", its says in the CMD: extracting. Bat in fact, noting happens! There only the same 2 file in the folder and nothing else.
Can any one help?
Maybe some of you can tray to extract the file and upload the result to www.rapidshare.com or somewhere else?
I'm using desktop with XP PRO English.
Please! I'm going crazy!

I'm lost sorry
Have you downloaded the exe and need the NBH File? If so Install WinRAR, right click the exe and click Extract...
If you have the NBH file, then I suggest you re-try the steps you quoted again. Let me know if there are any errors on any steps.

Well, I did those steps before, bat have no result. Don't see any error at the CMD. only show me the extract progress and at the end (after 2 min), there are no result! Only the same 2 file I started the progress. (RUU_signed.nbh + NBHextract tool)
I have the NBH and need to extract it... So I can continue to step 6 at these guide: Reverting back to the AT&T or HTC ROM and SPL for Warranty or return http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568
Can any one trey to extract the RUU_signed.nbh from
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88 .07_1.27.12.11_Ship" Rom for me and upload the result?
Thanks in advanced!
Ok, update! I try to extract this in vista by drag & drop, and it worked!!! Bizarre...; and I got 5 file from the extract. The CMD still didn't work in the vista though...
Bat now i'm confused, because I read on other thread that I need to do Hard SPL first so I don't brick my TyTn 2 device... and in the guide:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568),
its says I don't need to do Hard SPL. So what should I do?
let me tell you the reason I want to flash the SPL: I install Hebrew support pack that I download from the net and it work ok till I start to notice a rapidly massage of low memory (I didn't install nothing else!), bat the most reason fact that I want to flesh the SPL is because in addition of that message, the cracked Hebrew pack, showing me the logo of the company that made the pack; every time I restart the device, just before the HTC welcome logo and its showing for at lest 30 sec!!! Every soft reset!! So I try to uninstal that pack and its still showing every restart! Even, try to up grade to WM6.1, and still its there!!!! So I start to read some thread and think I need that spl flash so I can get rid of that "sticky" logo that slow my device and steal my memory!!
Can any one now something like that issue, and what shold I do in order to uninstall that long logo?

OK I see what your getting at... Some facts first...
1. The guide you posted a Link to advises how to restore the Stock SPL and ROM if you have Hard SPL and a custom ROM. It does not mention Hard SPL for the simple fact that it is a guide on how to remove it (assumes you have it otherwise you wouldn't be reading the guide).
2. The SPL is the bootloader similar (in ways) to your PC's BIOS. I am pretty certain it has not been comprimised.
Firstly we need to know which splash was changed. There are 3 possible splashes that could have been changed. Have a look at this guide by -888- on upgrading you splash.
It is most likley to be one (or both) of the last two. Changing the first one requires Hard SPL and Flashing.
Rather than fixing the splash screens, I'd do a Hard Reset that will remove everything that was not part of your original OS ROM image.
If it is still there after that, I'd flash HardSPL and then flash a new Splash screen.
And, finally , this forum does not support cracked software, I will help you remove it however, if you promise to pay for it in the future

First off all, thanks for the help. I appreciate it!
I must mention that I buy the original version in advanced. I just was curious to check the net version and it turns out that it's not so good... to such an extent that I ruin me Kaiser...
now let me be more specific with me problem because i m not sure I explain the problem clearly and I don't want to start a progress that I don't know how to do....
So, like I say, after I finish the install of the language pack, I had to clear storage in order to crack the license. But since that, every restart, appear the logo of the software company for 30 sec!!! Every restart!!!! Its make me crazy!!!! (The logo appear just before the HTC logo load. (It's appear with the rom and the radio version = R.G.D). But this is not the main problem!! The most important problem is that since the install, its keep say me that I'm run out of memory, and I m even didn't install nothing!!! This is bad!
So off Corse I'm try to do hard reset and even try to upgrade to WM6.1, but the cursed logo is still there!!!!
Now, after I try to explain the problem, I want to know if the solution you recommended may solve the logo problem and more important the memory "leak"....
What I basically want is to bring me Kaiser to its original status like from "out of the box"... because it's only 2 week old!!!!!
I'm hope you understand me problem.
Thanks you in advanced!

Do you have a storage card? I wonder if it flashed off the storage card? Anyhow, let's get busy...
Firstly remove anything you want to keep off the card and then format it.
Then flash the Hard SPL using the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922 (Second set of instructions in post #2).
Once, you have completed the flash, enter the bootloader before Windows Mobile loads.
Then, when you are in the bootloader flash a New ROM and Radio.
Hopefully that will remove everything that shouldn't be there.
Also, moving out of pof's thread. To a new one

Anyone can please help?
Hi, sorry for the delay.
The instructions in my last post should get you back up and running. You'll have have to read up on the wiki and the ROM Development stickies for more help.
I am at work now, and am pressed for time at the moment, have a look on #xda-devs chanel on FreeNode after 8-9PM (GMT) for me. I'll be able to chat then. (I am also on MSN, but I don't use it at home that often. I'll try and make an effort over the next few days.)

Having A Lot of Trouble Flashing

My phone won't take the flash of ANY ruus!
It gives me the same error with everyone of them. I've been trying for like two hours, it always says image is corrupted. so i redownload, re-extract. same problem, I've tried all the ones I can find and none!
it's hard to help if you dont give any info
phone-wing, p4350, etc
ipl/spl -number
did u hard spl your phone
did u follow instructions given here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358225
you've been on the site for a while so i assumed you have.
list the steps you took when flashing
give out more info and i'm sure someone will help
Yeah I read all the posts but I was still a little fuzzy.
SPL4.10.0000
IPL4.10.0000
Tmobile Wing
First I Hard Reset my phone, put it into flight mode, and ran the USPL program
It gets all the way to the point where it's showing the progress bar, at 3% everytime, my phone resets and it says the image file is corrupted.
I re-downloaded all of them numerous times, used different programs to extract them, reset my computer etc. etc. etc. same thing every time
have you tried the link i gave you, i also have 2 wings and successfully did it with both using this method, the way to check your ipl/spl is press the soft reset with holding down the camera key until the colored screen shows up and you will see it then, to go back just press the soft reset button to boot back to normal, go see here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Herald
this is the best place to start, i've read through alot of these pages before flashing my first rom and i'm actually flashed 22 different roms over the two phones with no problems except the ones that need the keyboard fix. i'm still new to these phones as you can see in my sig but i'm trying to learn as much as I can since I wanna be able to cook my own rom, later.
What OS are u using on you're computer some people have been having problems with Vista there is also a thread on that
No I'm on XP, do I have to Hard-SPL? I think maybe that's the problem?
Voila! You're my savior! Thanks a lot! It's working fine now
