hi there, its been a while since i have posted here properly,
i just upgraded to the new wizard ported rom, i must say that i love it, and yes, its fast as hell and as stable as a steel beam, but there is just one thing that puzzles me and id like it if someone could explain this to me.
i understand that with the first wm5.0 that xda developers produced we was unable to change the boot screen as there was no Ext rom. ( i think anyway, if that waswnt the reason, please correct me.
i know there still isnt a Ext rom on this new V2 of wizard ported rom, but does it mean that the rom was taken from the wizard device and placed onto the Blue angel??
i would have thought that even the wizard rom would have had a bootscreen that would have been ported with the rom.
do i have the right point???, or have i got totally the wrong idea all together??
cheers!! 8)
wizard2ba v2a ROM has extended ROM, it is hidden. You may use old tools to unhide it (it is not necessary to unlock it, it is already unlocked).
Unfortunately the boot logo is kept in a different place in WM5 than in WM2003, and I cannot find where it is. One of my old test ROMs displayed garbage dots over the colored lines, but I was unable to find where are they coming from. So I know that it is possible to change boot logo, but we just don't know how to do that.
ooooooh , ok sir mamiach, lol
in that case to find it, what would you need to look for and how did you find it in 2003?
you are a genius mamiach.
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 !!

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
Sorry if I shouldn't be writing a new thread about this, but I couldn't find a thread about bad flashes...
I'm a newbie with this, and I think I just bricked my phone after only my second flash I have a Touch Pro 2 (T-Mobile), and I was able to successfully install HardSPL. I even flashed the EnergyROM LEO with no problems. After a few days of playing around, I tried to flash the AthineOS v2.0 ROM, and now my phone won't boot up... it gets stuck in the Touch Pro 2 black screen with the red lettered version numbers at the bottom. I tried rebooting and pulling the battery out, but I have had no success in being able to boot it back up.
Any ideas on how I can fix this? This sucks I've only had the thing for less than a month...

hi if you have done the hardspl then try this
to enter Bootloader
Remove the back cover from the phone.
Hold the Volume Down button.
Use the stylus to press the reset hole.
Or if the device was powered off, press the power button whilst holding down the Volume Down button.
you should see serial at the bottom of the three color screen then plug in the usb cable the serial should change to USB then just flash another rom.
i hope this helps you.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! That worked! That's a really cool recovery feature from HardSPL... you guys really know what you're doing This is such a huge relief...

idd, this is not ROM related, its just unlucky like hell. See the phone as a PC, where blocks need be written. If a block fails or is corrupt, you get these jokes. Its like a BSOD on a Windows PC.
I gotta admit it is great knowing that once you've done a hardspl you are safe as houses as even if you flashed the most currupted ROM, the bootloader will always allow a reflash.
This is way more stable and safe than any other experience I've had of phone flashing.

Funny that, your latest ROM was the only one I had problems with - the same problems as the original poster, in fact. I flashed a different ROM fine, re-downloaded your 2.0 and flashed it again, same problem. Hanging on the boot screen.

Probably I think I was just unlucky. My fear (while I was panicking) was that your ROM is European based, and since mine came from T-Mobile, it didn't mesh well. I also didn't unlock my phone so that could be also be a problem...
awesome community

Same Issue

no one have told me that on my thread... only here i found this issue.. and finally how pass the problem?
I had to re-flash a different ROM.
I'm wondering if it's related to the radio version...
what is your version of radio
can't you flash the latest 23060?
i use radio 3.36
I've used 4.49.25.05 and have just got the same result on 4.49.25.17
I'll try flashing 3.44.25.27 (the oldest in the radio thread) and re-flashing your ROM.
Alas, no luck with that one either.
I have no idea why it doesn't seem to work on my Rhodium :/
I'm sorry if I'm hijacking this thread but it's the only one I've found that's even close to having the same issue I have, though I'm still using the stock rom/os.
I was installing winmo msn messenger. It installed fine and reset my tp2 fine. It goes thru the tp2 splash screen, the verizon splash screen and the winmo splash screen. Then it shows owner information and this is where it gets screwed up. Owner info will stay up forever if I dont touch the screen. After touching the screen the only thing left will be the top bar and the rest of the screen stays black. The only things on the top bar are the signal icon (which always has an x), the wifi icon (which seems to be connected fine lol) and either owner info will still be in the upper left or the start menu will be there. Hitting the screen only causes my tp2 to beep.
Nothing I know how to do (which is basically just hard and soft resetting it) works. Verizon can't fix it (didnt think they would be able to) and I can find no drivers (possibly cause I'm still a noob with winmo) to resolve my issue. I'm not even sure how I'd get them on as it wont even sync up to my computer and my computer cannot find its hd. If I could get a rom for the verizon one I think I can figure it out from there with no issues...but htc website sends me to verizon website for support and vice versa. The htc wiki is the closest I've gotten to an answer...but no rom to download. The only OEM roms I can find anywhere aren't for this phone, unless one of those will work? You guys are the experts.
Does anyone know what I can try? Verizon wants me to return it but cannot tell me when I'll get my new one as they are out of stock...again. Please help lol! Thanks for any and all help.

Sorry, I tried that one as well yesterday. And I've downloaded your ROM a few times too...
Are you still working on the 6.1 ROM? Maybe a new version will just magically start working for me...
EDIT: Tried a fresh 3.46.25.30 and a fresh download of your ROM. Still nothing
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!
