Good evening guys,
I was trying to post in developers area, but I haven't enough message.
So here I am.
I'm trying to change the first splash screen, the one with "LG" brand at boot. (Is it the very same of the "second", where there is also a progress bar?)
I found a lot on google, but nothing related to lg 2x and now I'm pretty much stuck.
First, I try to follow some guide, but they refers to htc.
This thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=956434
contains some basic instructions that are very interesting, and since lg2x has no mmcblk0p19, I pull out all 10 mmcblk0p* and convert them to bmp with nbimg. But only one (the 3rd) was converted into a bmp image, that was white and with a couple of lines.
Another thread is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753788
where the how-to explain to use the recovery to install the splash image.
Thus my problem is.. how can I do this?
Should I follow method in thread number 1, with the risk to damage some partition?
Or I should use recovery method? And in this case, I just put a splash.bmp file in a zip and try to install with clockwork recovery?
Thank you so much for your help!
You can't change it on these (by any of the known methods at least).
The second one you can mess with, as it's part of the boot image.
Too bad.
Thank you very much for your reply.

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.
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...

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

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.)

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!
Does anyone know where I can find instructions for modifying the 2nd boot screen?
I have no problem modifying the power on boot screen, but the one after magldr is the one i want to modify as well.
also - does anyone know where I can find the new cyanogenmod load screens? the little green banner ones? I've been searching and I can not find that little screen anywhere. I want to use that image as my first and second boot screens.
thanks everyone.
Regarding the matter of changing the splash screen, here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254686
Next time, please use the search tool.
Have a nice day/night.
i did, i just kept coming up with tutorials for changing the first boot screen.
thanks for the help.
