i was fumbling around with the hypercore kitchen and found a tool in a subfolder called "nb image tool". i was curious, since it suggested only a few simple clicks in order to create your own splash screen. so i flashed my creation but now i have TWO splash screens: one white HTC INNOVATION, and one OEM. the latter one can still be changed. but the first one seems to be branded into my device.

i found out that this tool was originally made for the himalaya which actually does have TWO splash screens. but i haven't found any hint how to reverse this shit again.

requesting immediate help, please!!!

Prophet has two splashscreens too! I think in your old situation they were identical. You can flash new splashscreens, but your old ones are replaced. So, if you don't have a picturefile of them....

BTW, most official ROM's contain the Vendor splashes.

Good to hear! BTW could you attach that original htc.nb file? I'm looking for it a while now. (That is, if it is not the old white 1st and blue clouded 2nd version).

it is not that white hct innovation screen. it looks as if this htc.nb file is either some kind of delete-splash for that white htc thingy or a suppression splash that just prevents that one from showing up making the "second" splash display the whole boot phase.

just use the ruu for the nbf-file or nb2nbf.exe for the htc.nb. for the latter you have to select "splash" for image name and change the start address manually to 9d000000, otherwise i will not work out.

let me know how it worked.


and a happy new year.

It did work, I get the impression that this file places a blackscreen as splashscreen. Now I'm looking for an up-to-date HTC screen.

Happy New Year to you too!

Thanks!

damn it!!! i forgot!!!

the nbf-file i sent you was my modified one, since i wanted a complete black boot screen. the htc.nb file is the original one. just make an nbf of it and flash it again. or let me know if i should provide you with the proper one.

cheers.

I did convert the HTC.nb to nk.nbf but it still blacks out the splashscreens (no big deal, even black is better then the ugly outdated originals). But if you could upload a nk.nbf containing the recent htc splash, I would be thankfull (again :) )

try this one. found it here on the forum. if you used the htc.nb before, it SHOULD display the second splash throughout the entire boot phase; at least it worked this way for me. it is (probably) the most recent htc splash in black. i don't know though. i don't care much about htc apps and stuff.

just report back, what you think.


cheerio.

Hey rondol1. I need a official Qtek splash screen. I would like to have a converted Qtek splash in nk.nbf format. I have bricked my device(and unbricked) when i try to flash my converted splash. I have included the splash screen.

Sorry, but I dont have that splash nymore, I just overwrote it with the file from the previous post.

BTW it looks good at startup. It isn't spectacular, but way better then the blue sky. THANKS!

i have used a qtek wm5 rom, but replaced the splash. i just extracted the rom and made a splash-only ruu. i hope it is the right one and will work for you.

just let me know how it went.

Thanks, that was exactly what i was looking for. I asked for it because if i replace the splash and it failed again so i can recover to original splash.
