Is there any way to actually pull all three of the existing startup splash screens off the Wizard? Would like to pull them off, edit them, and put them back on again. I know how to do the latter, but cannot locate any directions (if it is even possible) on how to pull them off into an editable format.
Thanx.

I don't think that's possible. Not sure dough. I tried it, but you cannot restore properly splashscreen 1 and 2

So, the only way to fix a problem on the first splash is to start all over and reflash it?
Thanx.

yes, of that I'm sure
My little contribution.
I hope you like it.
Safe for use with G4 and G3.
Enjoy.
Run the update utility as always. It will only flash the boot screen.
Best Regards.

That's all fine and dandy. However, I am looking to edit my own screens that I've already flashed to the device. I was hoping there would be a way for me to extract them back off so I could just change a little something. I guess that's what I get for not saving a copy, eh?
If you want.

Thank you for the offer, but I already know how to flash the screens to the device. I was just trying to extract an existing screen from my ROM so I might edit it and then re-flash it.
I have to give the forum props though...so many peeps all wanting to help out. Thanx.

Nice work there. I like it
yea this is nice im using this one
Here's a couple of screens that I think may be what you are looking for (or very close). One is the HTC Logo (but its bigger than whats in the Faria and nottoosmart roms). The other is the Black screen with the world and the Windows logo over it.

I've tried it and I can only see the file on my device with that rom! I can't view the file on any other rom and my pc. The 3 splash screens, as far as I know can cut back to two. You can have the same splash for both but its the same pic twice.
update 4-10-2007
Finally got pic to be seen on pc. I wanted to change the 3rd or welcome secreen so I renamed my pic and replaced what was already on my device. It works but not in landscape, no big deal...I don't boot with my keyboard open anyways.

ok you can do this but not in the exact way you specified.
The way i did it is to take the rom that has the splash screens in it and dump it, I used Molski.biz rom tools, I won't go into detail about dumping a rom. use typo5.exe
then i used bcl.exe to extract the .nb files into bmp
I am not going to do a step by step here that is the general idea.
I don't know how to get a rom off a phone but if you have the rom that you put on the phone dump it and grab the splash screens from it.
the tools i used are in molski's devpack
btw the 3rd splash screen is a png file in the rom with some stupid name it is um welcomehead.96.png and it is actually a perfect 320 square so that it will load nicely in both portrait or landscape mode
I attached a Scarface splash screen I made using the HTC logo extracted from splash screen one of one of the newer roms

its fantastic, i wil flash only de screen whit the spl ipl numbers still tmobile screen is comming i dont like that sorry for my bad english
thanks all
I am a newbie. How do I know whether my phone is a G3 or G4. I am using Dopod 838. Can someone show me how to change the boot screen and to use the update utility safely.
Thanks in advance.
Go read the wiki.
To tell the difference between a G3 and a G4 wizard, you must look at the IPL and SPL versions. To find out what IPL/SPL version your Wizard has, turn the device off and back on. At the first splash screen, the IPL and SPL versions will be written in red at the top of the screen.
A G3 Wizard will have the following IPL: 1.xx or 2.xx or 2.xx.00x (Note that this version only has TWO 0's.).
SPL: 1.xx or 2.xx or 2.xx.00x (Note that this version only has TWO 0's.)
A G4 Wizard will have the following IPL: 2.xx.000x (Note that this version has THREE 0's.)
SPL: 2.xx.000x (Note that this version has THREE 0's.)

I have made three Russian ROM from Damped ROM v. 1.22.411.1
The first contains:
- OS without changes
- Black mainsplash
- radio from Arabian ROM
http://rapidshare.com/files/625681...duemonocle_1.22.411.1_4.1.13.47_02.98.90.rar
The second contains:
- Completely changed the screen of loading
- Has replaced the standard calculator on CalcOne.
- Has removed unnecessary pictures, etc.
http://rapidshare.com/files/630354...lack_V_1.0_1.22.411.1_4.1.13.47_02.98.90.rar
The third same as the second, without Office and Windows Live
http://rapidshare.com/files/630382...lack_V_1.1_1.22.411.1_4.1.13.47_02.98.90.rar
To establish only after updating USPL
Congratulations!!
Finaly someone made it!!
I was trying to do my own cooked rom but I fail. I was trying to get OS.nb from Part02.raw from dump (from other rom), but during process of converting, packages are lost and when I flash device with that I get plain vanilla rom without ANY customization. Simply, none of .provxml files are procesed during cold boot. That`s not what I want.
Any idea what went wrong?
Anyway, I see that you used Htc rom tool by Dark Simpson with Excalibur option to get .nbh file, is that correct??
anyone try and flash yet?
i would like to try but i don't want to brick my Vox.

I just made some tests and will risk saying, yes it`s safe to flash it.
But before flashing, run VOX_USPL <----- It`s very important, even if your device is SuperCIDed, just to be safer.
the rom is 1.22 and the USPL is 1.16?
is there any major improvements over 1.15?
is it even worth flashing?
my VOX is factory unlocked btw.

Read this: Vox USPL
i know of that USPL.......my question is that that didn't look like it gave much of a benefit.
and since my phone is factory unlocked again.....what does this 1.22 ROM offer?

More stable, and I think nothing more. I`m sure, your phone is sim-lock factory unlocked, but not a cid unlocked. None of providers or htc provide cid unlock phones.
is it more efficient in the sense that i will have more available free memory at startup?
i have about 23mb usable and fresh startup now!
does this rom have english language? i'm asking because i'm not russian so i don't understand cyrilic, hence i wouldn't understand anything ;P ...and one other question, because i've never flashed my vox: can i, for any reason, flash my vox with another rom, of a previous version than this rom, if i choose to??
This ROM contains two languages: Russian and English.
You can flashing any ROM after flashing VOX USPL.
ok thank you very much for elucidating me
one other question: i've flashed with your rom, but now i have an issue: my qwerty keyboard as a different layout than the one the rom has...my keyboard as the dot next to the P...this layout as the dot next to the Q...consequently the first line of the keyboard is one position shifted to the right...what can i do about it? is there some key in the registry taht i could change?
never mind i already solved my problem...but jesus what i had to do to get through it :S
to anybody that could have been through the same issue as i did:
http://www.modaco.com/content/Smart...obile-Smartphone-Internationalization-Issues/
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
also check the registry key in \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD
and change it acordingly with your language code (check the second link for the code)
Really QWERTY keyboards in Russian and English devices differ.
Try to replace a file T9.Libra.russian.0409.kmap.txt in \Windows, on what I apply.
I do not guarantee, that it will solve a problem.
Look also here and here.
Thank you for your rom. My orange sp e650 is really faster when accessing programs and there is more storage left on the phone I like it
And thanks goes to carrots99 too for pointing to this excellent article from Menneisyys. It really helped me putting french language back but I still had to do a lot of editing in the txt file.
Any chance of some screen shots?
Sure. What screenshots would you like ?
I have a small request also. It seems that this rom doesn't support custom animated splash screens in HKLM\Software\HTC\Startup (or \Shutdown)
Could someone please give me the values listed here ? I think a dll was registered here ...
for the animated startup and shutdown screens you have to check the registry for this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup\1]
"Dll"="\Windows\oemstartup.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shutdown\1]
"Dll"="\windows\oemstartup.dll"
you need also to check if you have that dll file in windows folder
That's it ! This dll is not included in this rom. My only complaint actually. Any chance you could upload it for me ?
Please please can someone help,
I am very new to this and need someone to help guide me through this.
I have a HTC Touch pro and want to wipe it clean so when i turn it on there isn't the orange start up image......???
I have tried factory reset and tried the thread (Flashing your First GSM Raphael Rom (For Noobs)) and it didn't help. When i turn on my device it will comes up this the orange image.
Please can someone help me
Keep up the good work everyone
Many thanks Jason
So basically you want to change the splash screen from the default Orange one to a new one?
Some rom's (like ROMeOS ones) include a new splash screen so flashing one of these custom rom's will wipe the phone completely, getting rid of all the data on it and replacing it with new software. I'm sure you can find a pretty clean one with just basic windows mobile if you try.
Otherwise if you want all the software that's on it and just want to change the splash screen there are basically rom files with nothing in them except the new splash screen (i think). You'll have to search the forums to find one that you like etc.
Just make sure you've read everything about flashing the phone before you do it. You'll want the Olipro bootloader first etc.

Thanks iammaz, i have flashed my phone using Raphael Rom (For Noobs) and it's till on there i don't know what you mean by looking for ROMs as i don't know how to put different ROM's on my phone,
Sorry if this sounds such a basic request but i've never done this before
Ideally i want to restore the phone to what it would be if you bought it SimFree from HTC, so no 3rd party software or plugins,
Thanks for your help
Hello guys. I'm new here and i really don't know where and how to look for what i need ...So if you can please help me here is problem:
- I have a HTC TOUCH Cruise and i don't like it's today screen and averything. Is there a way i can make it look like a HTC Diamond? I mean the whole today skin, picture swaping, sms swaping, and everything?
What is that I need to know and what to do? Or where to look for and what to look for
I give a beer to the one who helps me
just flash the rom mate... see hard spl posts etc...
you can now even go winmo 6.5, which i have!!
After I flash the rom will i be able to restore the original one if I don't like the new one? Hard-reset will bring the original rom or the new one I just flushed?
You will be able to reflash your device with your original rom again, you can download it from here. When you do a hardreset it will just reinstall the OS what is installed at the time.

Can this go wrong?
When i tried to flash a wm 6.0 rom on my HTC wizard
it went wrong and now is my wizard dead.
is this without risk?
always a risk, nothing guaranteed...
If you are confused with the vast choice of Roms (as I was), have a good look at C Shekar's "b" rom - i installed it six months ago and have no regrets at all.
After flashing the rom, you then go and choose a "today" screen (manila) screen that you like.
Good luck.

hehe,i don't think so
First of all please be gentle! I am a complete novice and this is my first post. I have a Touch Pro on a Vodafone contract. I downloaded the recent ROM software upgrade from the Vodafone web site and began the transfer to my phone having followed all the advice. However, the download got stuck at 12% and no matter how many times I start over again it will not go past that point. Worst still the phone is now locked on a red/green/blue/white screen with the message "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again". the error message on the Vodafone software download is No 302. I have tried Vodafone technical help but as I was due for a new phone anyway they have sent me a Touch Pro 2 but don't seem to want to help me resolving the problem with my "old" phone. It is only 5 months old (replacement insurance phone) and in good condition but useless if it can't be made to work.
Can anyone help with simple instructions on how to download a ROM that will work. If not does anyone want to make me an offer for the phone? Currently locked on Vodafone but I am sure you guys out there have the skill to resolve that one.
Many thanks,
Hollybeau
So, they aren't asking you to send it back, I take it? If that's the case, then the first thing I would try would be to flash with the stock rom, if you can find it (not the upgrade that quit on you). If that doesn't work, then just try to flash hard spl. If hard spl goes through ok, you're golden and can flash any raphael rom you want. If it doesn't, the phone is probably toast. You got a new one, so just use the old one as artwork.
Thanks Farmer Ted,
Unfortunately I do not know the orginal stock ROM. It is not on the Vodafone web site and the HTC site keeps telling me that all the likely candidates are "not suitable" ( I assume this is beacuse it is some sort of Vodafone variant). I am afraid that "flash hardspl" means nothing to me - I told you I was a novice! Can you direct me to what and where please.
What bugs me is that here is a phone worth £200? but for a problem caused by Vodafone's buggy software upgrade.
Hollybeau
Start Here.
Best way to find everything you want to know about flashing ROMs.
Lol.
Hard SPL is a bootloader that allows you to flash any rom you want (not just vodaphone). It also has over-write protection, so if you get into the situation you're currently in, the phone won't be bricked. If you can flash it (make sure you flash the gsm version in the raph rom forum), you are fine and dandy.
If you can't find the stock rom online, you may be able to flash the upgraded rom off of your sd card (I believe this will work with a stock rom and stock spl, but am not 100% sure). Re-name the .nbh image file to RAPHIMG.nbh. Format your sd card (1-2 gb works best) to FAT32, and put the image on the root of the card. Go into bootloader (well, you're already there, you may not need to) by holding volume down and soft resetting. Hold vol. down until the tri-color screen appears. At the prompt, press the power button, and let the flash run its course. Soft reset when it says that the update was a success. Let the phone boot up until it gets to the the alignment screen, the hard reset and boot it up.
If you don't have an .nbh file, and instead have a .exe file from vodaphone/htc, then you should be able to extract the contents with either winrar or 7-zip (google) to get at the .nbh image file. I've done this before, and it works fine.
Many thanks to all who have replied. I have fixed the problem. It turns out that it was the download to my PC that was at fault. I downloaded the Vodafone software to my lap top and ran it from there and it has recovered the phone. I now have a spare, and working, Touch Pro. I may try the HardSPL and other ROMS just to use the phone as a test bed. Alternatively, anyone out there want to make me an offer?

Ask in market place and you will probably get some takers
