silly me, just looked at the code, it was set for the smartphone screen size, changed it to the proper size and it works ok. Going to do some testing then I should be able to create a utility to change the splash screen

it is a nb file which is the same format as used in all HTC devices,I renamed the file logo.bin to logo.nb and used nb_image_converter_859_418.exe which i got from the FTP site to open,it is for T-Mobile.

Great,now we can change the Splash logo using the old method and change the file ext to bin.

Done, managed to change the boot logo on my HTC Charmer - Wizard should be exactly the same. Will post a how-to soon...

The file format seems to have slightly changed from the .nb format. It has a different header now, but it is almost the same.

I am using a utility from spv developers. The utility nearly converts it ok but its a bit corrupted. Please see the attached file and maybe someone could fix the code?? Paul

Can you post the utility to extract the file from the Rom and patch it back again

I've only tested on the charmer but it should work on the wizard, but obviously I cant be 100%.

Download the aWizard tool from

http://forum.xda-developers.com/view...er=asc&start=0

You need to enable RAPI using this tool plus the other tools you need are in the lib dir.

To extract the splash screen...

pdocread.exe -n 1 0x002d0000 153630 splash.bin

The header sig should be "This is smartphone signature".

Use the logoconverter attached e.g.

logoConvert bin2bmp splash.bin splash.bmp

to covnvert back

logoConvert bmp2bin splash.bmp splash.bin

To flash back use

pdocwrite.exe -n 1 splash.bin 0x002d0000

If you want to extract the splash image from a wizard/charmer rom (or any other part of the rom) then you can use the typhoon tools on the nk.nbf file.

Hi,

I managed to get the .bin file, but when trying to use the logoconvert i get this message:
"The system cannot execute the specified program"

I tried to run it in a cmd DOS shell.

I found the logoconvert tool on the net, tried to use this one too:

but it seems that this one is for the 176x220 resolution

Could you please help ???

THANK YOU :roll:
