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

Updated first post with that link. Thanks and when you gonna release yours man! I'm dying to test it out but this TouchFLO is addicting. I'm flashing it as we speak so let's see whats been fixed!

Greetings! The first link seems to be down. Just to double check, this ROM works with all HTC P4350's regardless of previous os?
Model No .: HERA100
Platform .: PocketPC
ROM Version .: 5.4.405.1 WWE
Windows MObile 5.0 OS 5.1.422 (Build 15633.3.2.0)
Kudos on the ROM, looks great on the Herald. Thanks!

Hmmm
Can't get it to work on my wing, right off the bat it says
"the system cannot execute the specified program"
any ideas?

It is recommended to run this ROM with the previous ROM version as 5.4.405.1 WWE. This is because there is a problem with the old radio rom and WM6. The first link is up and running, just downloaded using that link. This ROM seems a bit slow with the PP set at 8, but conditions improved greatly setting back at 4. Nice rom but I'll have to return to what I was using before because it seems that the X button issue is still present. Not sure what was upgraded in this ROM but will take a look right now.

i flashed it, X button problems still there so I don't know what was fixed. I'll try it out more tonight and check.

Woohoo!
Ok got it running, so far looks good. For those of you who are flashing this for this first time read this it's very important.
after you run the UPGRADE ROM.bat you'll get an error display on your device screen. DO NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!! don't hit ok, don't disconnect, the device is still being flashed.
When it's done do a hard reset, the T-Mobile start up logo (for Wing users) will display for a bit (3 mins?) but the PDAViet splash screen will appear afterwards.
Good luck, and happy flashing!

Hi, one Question:
i have HTC herald with WM5, never upgraded, never nothing, what exactly i must do to instal WM6 without any crashing?

For T-Mobile Users
see next post

Nevermind
Since this has the new HTC Network Wizard you don't need the info from my last post.

Thanks for the heads up “Neptune”
Haha, ROM installed perfectly! Played for a few mins looks sweet then tried to do a hard reset with no avail screen just stayed at BOOTLOADER.
Preformed a soft reset, os wouldn’t load correctly just stayed at splash screen, tried various things but was still unable to boot past the splash screen. Potentially Bricked P4350 it seems!
Below are the steps I preformed to recover using the search function on the forum and google.
1:. Booted device into BOOTLOADER mode by holding down the cam soft button then inserting the stylus into soft reset button.
2:. Whilst at the coloured screen attached device to computer via USB (you should notice USB appear at the button of the screen)
3:. Downloaded latest ROM for my device from here
4:. Double clicked exe and followed on screen instructions (the updater wont detect your phone because its not connected via active sync don’t worry still proceed)
5:. Wait for the updater to finish, device may reboot a few times this is normal, once completed you shall see the welcome screen.
Potentially bricked device restored, thanks to this forum I don’t have an expensive paper weight. Lots of Kudos to all!!!
I still have a problem, my device wont prompt for hard reset anyone have any ideas? (Stayes at red/green/blue/white BOOTLOADER screen) Searched forums and google for answers no luck yet. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Peace!

The radio needs to be version 2.79 for WM6 to work. Also, Its always safe to have a working WM5 RUU ready in case you brick your herald. Please take a look in the wiki if you can find any RUU that works on your device and install it. This should update your Radio to 2.79 if you don't have it yet.
If none of the RUUs in the wiki works on your device, you better retain your current installation and wait for HTC to finaly release the official WM6 RUU.

tried to install, had an error and now I have a brick. Put phone into bootloader screen, try to use the Wing RUU utility, but keeps giving me a connection error. Any help would be appreciated!

nice, it seems i have all in my PC,
i have RUU WM 5 for herald, seems fuction but dont know (i dont tryed)
soo, if i understand if i bricked my ROM, my RUU WM5 will ever set my Herald to manufacture with good Radio version (i have 02.71) so my best way is:
Run RUU WM5, (it will put my Radio Version 2.79)
after i will instal some WM6 by the guide on that WM6...
after that i will got WM 6 works? (i will do some backups of my items in memory)
is that right???

Thoughts on the ROM
Ok so after playing iwth the ROM for about an hour or so, I decided I didn't really care for it. It's just too buggy for me. It seems to be very slow in response time and seems to lag, even with over clocking. Oh well, back to the stock T-Mobile ROM I guess.

anyone have any input? I would really like to get my phone working again!

Installing it over a spanish rom
You think It´ll install if my current ROM is in Spanish? Would I need to tweak anything? I have a
HTC p4350 SO 5.1.422
ROM version 1.8.412.2 ESN
Radio Version: 02.71.90
I don´t mind it resulting in English after it, As a matter of fact, I preffer it.
Thanks.

After a few days using a this rom, I can tell that the ok button problem is not completely fixed... sometimes you still need to fast tap it twice to make it work!

G4 Wizard extremely slow/green boot screen after upgrade

Hey guys,
After an upgrade (I don't remember which ROM I used, but I do remember it contained an .nbh ROM instead of an .nbf) I am getting the following boot screen with green horizontal lines as opposed to the Tmobile screen I am used to. It does not show the radio version for some reason.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The device boots EXTREMELY slow, and when it does come up, it does not respond to screen taps as usual. Also the screen jumps around every few seconds, shifting the display over to the right, and wrapping the corresponding line back to the left as shown here.
Activesync will not start and the device will not charge. The radio and protocol versions are not present in device info.
Flashing certain ROMs causes the device to stick on the tri-color bootloader, but I can always flash ROMs from there. Currently I am using the Wizard Love ROM. I want to reflash the original Tmobile 2.26 ROM (WM5), but depending on the RUU I use, I get different errors...
ERROR [238] : FILE READ
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDOR ID
ERROR [300] : INVALID UPDATE TOOL
I had installed HardSPL at one point, but I uninstalled it and reflashed the Tmobile G4 IPL & SPL (Default 2.26.0001 that the phone came loaded with). I have disassembled the offical Tmobile ROM and reflashed these images (seperately, one at a time):
91000000 000c0000 9d2afeb1 SPL_2
90000000 00000800 75895195 IPL_2
96000000 00280000 6b60114a GSM_0
80040000 03900000 f46dd463 OS_0
92000000 00030000 2a4129c5 Splash Screen
9d000000 00010000 093cf0a5 HTC Logo_0
The only thing I can figure is maybe the bootloader got corrupted somehow, but I don't know where to find a SAFE image to reflash. I have bootloader_v5_15.nb0 from XDATools, but I don't want to take the chance of bricking my MDA.
I've only found one other case of the green boot screen on the net, but there was no resolution. Anyone have any clues?

After removing HardSPL and reverting back to official t-mobile bootloaders,you shud have reflashed back to official T-mobile 2.26 completely,instead of dissambling the official rom and flashing the files seperately.The Roms are packaged together with certain other supporting strings and commands,which support and help the whole process of flashing a Rom image.It has a directory structure .
Try to flash the official T-mobile,hope it'll work,all these Errors are either due to corrupt Rom files which you downloaded,incompatibility of the rom or bootloaders are not accepting the RUU. Download the Roms again or from some other site and use another RUU like RUU_MUN,replace the RUU_MUn with RUU in the Rom and flash,hope it'll work.

After I flashed the original IPL & SPL, I did try to flash the original Tmo ROM (MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe). That's when I started getting the errors. Only after that did I try flashing each .nb seperately.
These are the results I got from trying to flash the original ROM with different RUUs:
MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe - 294 INVALID VENDER ID
Wizard_RomUpgradeUtility_noID - 300 INVALID UPDATE TOOL
RUU MUN - 238 FILE READ
I've also tried re-downloading MDA_software_update_226102_22610105_022511.exe to no avail.

Ok,perhaps the Rom which had .nbh ROM instead of .nbf was not meant for wizard devices,it might have corrupted the extended_rom or some other essential system files,coz if it had corrupted the Bootloaders than the phone will never boot into bootloaders mode.
ok,try to do the HardSPL again and upgrade to any wm6 rom and check if this resolves the issue.As it still boots up and displays official original IPL/SPL 2.26.0001,it means bootloaders are fine,doing HardSPL and reflashing to upgraded wm6 Rom,might resolve this issue and after wards if you wish to revert back to official TMO,than do the procedure again by removing HardSPL.
BTW,Have you tried 'Hard Reset' the phone.

hi zabardast_1,
How can I hardspl my pda if its only in the bootloader mode? Hardspl cannot detect the device(my pda). Do you also know where i can download original t-mobile rom? and how to download it?
ipl 2.26.0001

THanks in advance

Hi, I am almost but not quite in the same predicament that he is in, except I am stuck in the White screen and I can not get to the Bootloaders mode. I press the camera and power button to get into the screen and I only get the white screen. I have flashed my rom a couple of times now and this is definetly different for me. Is there another button besides the camera button that will get me back to the bootloaders screen?
Your help is much appreciated.

First, post the vital data of the phone to determine the DOC chip version of the phone.
Secondly,its not clear from your post what method or Rom you tried to flash. The only way to get into Bootloaders (multicolored screen) is by pressing Camera + Soft Reset or Camera + Power On button,but keep pressing & holding down Camera button till it restarts and gets into Bootloaders.

[REQ] Hero Splash Screen

does anyone have a copy of the initial splash screen by HTC (The first one when u switch your device on) if you do could you upload it for me please

It's on the forum, please search.

Search ins't pulling up anything for the original... even though I know it's here somewhere... just need to remember what thread it was in. If I find it I'll post the link as I need a copy too

Original Bootscreen
Well i just pulled the files for you...
In the .zip u will find the relevant files (originals), you can push them to the media\bootscreen
Hope you find it useful

Good Morning.
that's not the splash screen, it's just the boot screen.. There's a big difference .
Splash Screen = first Bootscreen
Boot Screen = second Bootscreen
the splash screen has the format *.rgb555 or something like that...
________________________
back 2 topic, does anyone have got the original htc hero splashscreen? . thanks.

Default splash attached in png & zipped rgb565 formats. Do note however the latter won't be bitwise identical to the default splash, as I couldn't rip it directly (that needs a custom kernel mod). Appearance wise it is very close; iirc, it's an edit of one of the frames from the default boot animation.

Looks legit, cauli.
I have to say, the Hero splash logo has to the best stock one of them all. I am still satisfied with it to this day. No carrier or manufacturer (or ROM chef!) branding. Just a cool name, in a cool font.
Boom.

Howdy guys,
Im interested in also getting these screens but kinda lost howto. I searched for the media/bootscreen but it seems not to exist on my device. Tried it with adb.
What's the exact way to complete this?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Ivar

You're possibly mixing up how to modify the initial static boot image & the following boot animation.
For the latter you need to replace some files in the rom, location & structure depending on the android version. Try this google.
For the former, you need to have an unlocked spl on your device. This will enable you to flash the splash screen. To create your own image you'll need it in rgb565 format. There are a few tools to do this; I use rgb565converter.

Is this the one with the little green robot coming from the Hero logo or just the static Hero writing?
EDIT: If anyone's wondering here is the one with the robot forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699259

yes guys which bootscreen is this?
and another question is if i am using VILLAINROM 12.0 and want to remove its bootscreen and put this...what shud i do?? pleez help..thanx!

[Q] splash screen...

As i title it...
I want to remove splash screen from my rom.zip... I alreadyknow that the logo is in /system/bin/ramdisk.tar... and I already search all over xda(I think) but nothing to be found... Is there any way to remove splash screen? in ramdisk.tar...
my method is simply delete it using 7zip... there any steps on how to delete/remove that splash screen?

I don't think anyone will assist you in re-branding the ROM.
The ROM is shipped by us as-is and the splash and boot animation are part of the identity of the ROM.
