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.

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.

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

can a flash this on my G4 locked vario, i us the xplore1.1 rom of anichillus
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 ?
Hi everybody,
I made up a new version of pof's USPL for ELFIN based on SPL 2.20.0000. You should be able to flash SPL in the third step now.
Why a new version? Because USPL v1 is only for ELF (64/128MB), but not for ELFIN (128/256MB). Flashing the old ELF SPL in step three on a new ELFIN used to brick your device.
EDIT:
You can find the working release in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1964159#post1964159
Thanks to everybody who was willing to test this!
Tempting, tempting.
I still haven't reproduced that weird blue screen i once had on my ELF.
But like i just wrote i got's me an ELF.
Good luck finding resourcefull Gamblers.
If there's no luck just start a Donation round for a Bricked Device Garantee

I think that a Elfin dopod owner can test this without problems, because if don't work he can flash the complete (and signed) dopod rom from bootloader to restore the original SPL...

i have a elfin locked on bootloader screen....can change my spl with this??
what ??? the UPSL 1.0 is for Elf only and not Elfin ??? what i dont understand is what do you guys mean quit at step 3 ??? I flashed my Elfin with UPSL 1.0 with all steps for more than 6 times so far and nothing has happen so far ... my SPL is the 2.20.2000 one ...
@jamezco:
that´s wrong.
You flashed those roms containing the USPL (start.bat). They automaticly quit the 3rd step and go directly to the Rom Utility to flash the new ROM.
If you use POF´s USPL v1 and you don´t quit after step 3, the patched Bootloader will be flashed from your devices RAM to the ROM, and this wil brick your ELFin. If you have done this, your actual IPL or SPL would be 1.11.xxx...
Sorry: could someone explain me whether it is strictly needed to use the USPL unlock (the one are treated in this post) to flash the PDA?
I mean: the bootloader in the rom package is not able to do that?
we need some thing to unloack direct from boot loader and no need to active sync
as far as i know this is not possible, cause you can´t access bootloader files...in bootloader mode.
same on pc, you can´t delete or replace files, which are open/inuse by another program...

The Rom Packages u can get here don´t contain a bootloader...and even if they would, the bootloader or the rom would have to match your model ID for flashing it to your device....so yes, it´s stricktly needed to CID unlock to flash Custom ROMs or ROMs with other vendor IDs.
Could someone help me? The USPL is needed for the flashing of ROM, or is it enough the bootloader of the ROM?
Sorry, I missed the answer of the post before
My eyes are crossing after 12 hours in front of the pc
Anyone tested already???
Come on guys,
somebody who can get official Roms from his provider should give this a try...
Hi all, not that i think myself insane but i have tried the USPL for my Elfin 128/256 Touch a few days ago . I have followed the steps and the screen turned white as mentioned by the installer after that it booted up fine again.
Everything seems to be working fine!
However, i have not seen any change to the device..

You don't see any change in the device.... but if USPL works you can flash ANY rom from bootloader directly executing RomUpdateUyility, you don`t need to boot windows, activesync and white screen (temporary SuperCID) to flash, try.....
Go to RUU directory and execute RomUpdateUtlity instead of RUN.bat and see if you can flash any rom without 3% (corrupted) error....

I sure they wont re-lock it. However the OEM in this rom is for the Sprint CDMA version. I'm pretty sure it won't function correctly on the unlocked GSM. The CDMA versions are pretty different.
As for odds of success, I have no idea. No one to my knowledge has tried the MicroSD update method, and I build the rom with a kitchen I've never used before. I just can't test until I actually get a Treo Pro on Monday.
ok i wait and see what hapens on monday, and if u succeed than u think u can make a GSM version of 6.5 ?

I would need a rom dump from your phone. All of the raw parts using itsutils would be best. That's how I'm going to backup my alltel rom when I get the phone.
I couldn't get my phone to boot from the SD at all, I may need to reformat it to try but even from the stock rom it wouldn't boot. It is possible this is an issue with the SPL-0.37.0000

Make sure it's FAT32, and use a normal sd not sdhc. Then hold the volume up and powerbutton while inserting the battery. Once it's in bootloader mode, hitting the power button again should start the flash processes. See the HTC service Manual for directions.

I'm pretty sure this is how. Without a hard-spl, the only other way is to use itsutils to write the rom back to the device, but that is dangerous.

NightRaven,
I just tried your Rom but it doesn't work. It seems like you're still missing something. It stuck on the gray screen and says "Loading..." Just to confirm I didn't do anything wrong, I extracted the rom from the sprint 1.04 and it did work. Also seems like your Rom is smaller than the official Rom 73MB vs 140MB. Anyways if you have another one to try out, let me know and I'll try it out. Thanks for the hardwork!

OK. I have built a WM6.5 rom for the Sprint Treo Pro (It's all I had for an OEM dump. Alltel will come monday night when I get my new phone.). I have not tested this, becuase I have not yet received my phone. Are there any BRAVE sprint users out there that want to give it a try. You will be testing two things.
1.) Does the microSD card update described in the Treo Pro Service Manual work with unsigned roms?
2.) Does my 6.5 rom work?
Make sure you have a backup of the current sprint rom! Hopefully if it there is a problem, you can reflash the sprint rom for the 1.04 update. If you don't have it, get it off of Palms support website.
I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS PROCESS OR THE ROM YET!

73 Mb is only the OS part. I don't think that such a thing will work.... WM 6.5 OS with WM 6.1 XIP? mmmmmhhh.....
I had done a little searching and came across RSB-BMP Converting Tool and NBH Converting Tool.
The only issue was this appeared to be for Touch Pro (Raph) will these work on the TP2. I did not want to test it and brick my phone just for boot/splash images.
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/pocket-pc/how-to-change-splash-screen-of-touch-pro.html
But I like the roms I have used, but I would like to change the images. Any help would be great
I´m sure it will work on TP2 or an other htc wm device because they all use the same files for the splash screen or is that wrong?
It wouldn´t brick your device because its only a picture and not a bad rom or a wrong radio...
