How do I change the very first splash screen?

[gargiosil]

Hello,
I've got from a friend who works in HTC a sample of the Touch diamond 2.
The phone is fully working but I would like to change one thing:
WHEN I SWITCH ON THE CELL, THE VERY FIRST SPLASH SCREEN THAT APPEARS SAYS: "SMART MOBILITY - TEST ONLY NOT FOR SALE".
Does anyone know a way to delete the sentence "TEST ONLY NOT FOR SALE"?
Thanks

[cyron_at]

..use an other rom! changing the splash screen menas a bit cooking!

[jmkhenka]

Flash a official rom, that should fix it for you. Most cooked roms here dont include that first loadscreen.

[gargiosil]

Guys, I have just installed a new ROM (EnergyROM_TOPAZ_20090921_StandardM2.5) but nothing changed..the "test only not for sale" sentence is still there!
Any other idea to replace the phrase?
Thanks

[chris5s]

Maybe you could just look away when that phrase is displayed ;)

Hi,
look at this Post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4463527&postcount=7). I.ve attached there a file to change the first screen :D

If you want to make your own look here's HOWTO (https://www.htc-developers.de/viewtopic.php?p=45132#p45132) (sorry, but only in german)

cheers

I,ve decided to write a Tutorial for this in (my poor) english. Even i don't know if someone needs this :o
Maybe some MOD can edit the title of the thread.


How To for the exchange of the initial SPLASH SCREEN


Important: I take no responsibility for any damage!

The image that appears when you turn on the device and then displays the versions of radio, ROM and protocol
HSPL is needed!

Here we go:


We need a 24BIT *.bmp in a Dimension 480x800


http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/2811/24bit.jpg (http://img34.imageshack.us/i/24bit.jpg/)



Extract the content from the attached file to c:\



Put your Picture in the new created Folder



With CMD (start menu, run, cmd) change in this Directory by typing: cd c:\Splash HD



Now type: nbimg -F *.bmp -p 18400 (* = name of your Picture) to start the Conversation



http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/3556/cmd1.jpg (http://img101.imageshack.us/i/cmd1.jpg/)



There’s now a new File in the Folder e.g. *.bmp.nb. Because we need a File with 786.432 byte it’s necessary to check the Dimension. If it doesn’t fit delete the File and go to next step.



http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5094/rightdimension.jpg (http://img411.imageshack.us/i/rightdimension.jpg/)



To got the right Dimension you must use the Difference between with the following command: nbimg -F *.bmp -p 18400 (18400 is for Example, please use your calculated Value). Repeat Step 6. and 7. until you’ve got the right Dimension
When this is done type: htcrt.exe and then close CMD



http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/6286/htcrt.jpg (http://img411.imageshack.us/i/htcrt.jpg/)




Click on Build!



http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/9251/htcrt1.jpg (http://img225.imageshack.us/i/htcrt1.jpg/)




Ignore warning by choosing Splash and finally click Build!once again


http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3631/logbf.jpg (http://img23.imageshack.us/i/logbf.jpg/)




Now we have a flashable File.
rename *.nbh to TOPAIMG.nbh.
Copy TOPAIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
Turn off your device by using the Power Button.
Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.
After that your device with have a white screen with text " Press to power button for continue upgrade or Press Volume down button for cancel upgrade , select press to power button and it will start upgrade Rom.
Reset

Followed your instructions, doesn't work as planned, picture is shifted about 8 pixels right, and does not fill the bottom part of screen!

[lcd4linux]

Sorry, but i don't know why. I made a couple of Splashscreens with the method and didn't saw such a problem. Please post me your picture, I will have a look at it

[angdolphin]

here you go
run go.bat.
do what it told you to do.then you got a splash.nbh.
flash it.

[hoosbude]

Sorry, but i don't know why. I made a couple of Splashscreens with the method and didn't saw such a problem. Please post me your picture, I will have a look at it

ok on further close scrutiny, the picture is rotated right 16 pixels and the bottom 100 pixels are not displayed (I made a grid to work that out, how sad am I)

The picture I'm using is this http://www.mobinations.com/en/cell-phone-wallpaper-preview.php?w=ford-mustang-[6].jpg

obviously I convert it to a 24bit bmp first!

Have saved bmp from jpeg in both mspaint and photoshop and have same result, are they to fault? what do you use to make the bmp?

[lcd4linux]

Ok, i will look at the picture. In the meantime you could try the file below attached.

[lcd4linux]

After my nightshift, i've downloaded the picture, converted it with MSPaint to 24BIT bmp and ... flashed it and all is ok :p didn't see any failure. Below is the result.

Hi, I tried all the files and methods above and the splash screen changes.

However the bootup sequence of my splash screen is now different, but it still didn't get rid of the carrier splash screen (China mobile) in my case. I'm a little stumped, so if anyone can give me a hand on this, it would be great.

After flashing it now boots as follows:

1) it boots up as the New picture after it has been flashed.
2) China Mobile carrier splash screen.
3) HTC splash screen.
and then it boots into the phone.

Is there a way to get rid of the splash screen for china mobile in the 2nd step?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Put the attached files in your windows folder with totalcommander or resco explorer and overwrite existing files.

Hi lcd4linux. Do you have the original HTC boot up .gif? You know the one where just the brand "HTC" with white letters comes up on a plain black background.
The Vodafone boot up is just too... red for my taste :)

Hi all,

I still can't get rid of the carrier splash screen (China mobile). I want to either remove it or change it to something else...

I have tried everything on this forum.

I've used the above splash.zip, and also the topaimg file, and the very first splash screen changed to the pictures provided.

Also, I have used lcd4linux and bl4ckb1rd method for changing the default windows splash screen.

HOWEVER, what I want to do is change the boot screen that has the carrier splash screen... that doesn't change, even when I flash a new rom such as dutty's leo r4 rom, or the energy photon rom.


Again, the bootup sequence is:
1) 1st splash screen - Which has been changed using lcd4linux and the files provided by angdolphin by using a topaimg and flashing it.

2) Carrier splash screen (china mobile) - WHICH STILL DOESN'T CHANGE.

3) Windows 6.5 splash screen which has been changed to the splash screen provided by lcd4linux and bl4ckb1rd by copying 2 files into the windows folder.

I read somewhere one other way to change the carrier splash screen is to flash a stock rom. Any suggestions?

Stuck.
Thanks heaps everyone.

Can't it be dumped from a shipped ROM? If anybody knows, please do share the information how to and I'll do it myself.

Hi steve0007.

I just tried it again. The file works, but it still doesn't get rid of the China Mobile carrier screen - which is what I'm trying to do.
Maybe it sounds confusion, so what I have done is attached a few images of what is happening when the phone boots up.

1.jpg - the new flashed splash screen. works great.
2.jpg - the china mobile carrier splash screen that I can't remove.
3.jpg - htc's splash screen with the word: "HTC"
4.jpg - windows mobile 6.5 splash screen.

The problem I'm having is in 2.jpg i.e. the china mobile carrier splash screen.
All the flash file's provided in this thread doesn't change the carrier splash in my case.

Hope someone can help.

Cheers.
