The old way to change your 1st splash screen uses the awizard prog or the splash_bmp_to_wizard prog. It was working before on the older ROMs.
Thanx to jesterz, mwiberg & lvsw & others, we now have many new ROMs to choose from. Unfortunately, the above method to change the 1st splash screen no longer works on these new ROMs. It always gives the ItWriteDisk error.
After crawling through the Wizard forums, I discovered they have found a way. Can't really remember the threads (there were several of them). For those who want to change their splash, just download this file: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Splash_images/SplashScreenStuff.zip and follow the instructions included to the letter.
Warning: some hex editing is involved.
- all credits to the guys over at the Wizard forum.
PS: to change your 2nd splash, it is a simple matter of saving your image as a 240x320 png file, renaming it as welcomehead.96.png and copying into the windows folder of your device.
Good luck!
Be carefull NOT to use the ROM upgrade util in that zip, it for the Wizard, NOT the prophet.
get it from a Prophet ROM upgrade.
Enjoy !
Splash screen change
Hi, I can confirm this works. I used this download as the base for the splash rom and followed the instructions in the download from the first post.
cheers
P.S. my rom is RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QTEK_WWE_Ship (G4) with Ext Rom unlocked and writable

Could we incorporate the above link method from wizard to prophet??

Yes, the upgrade utility in the zip file is for the Wizard. So what I did was to use the upgrade utility for the Prophet instead. Use the G3 or G4 version depending on your device.
There should be the following files:
enterbootloader.exe
nk.nbf (your created splash imge)
romupdateutility.exe (G3 or G4 version depending on your device)
ruugetinfo.exe
ruuresource.dll
Somehow for me, the romupdateutility-novendor doesn't work. So to get the romupdateutility for my device, I extracted it from a full ROM such as RUU-Prophet-G3-AKU2.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-b1
Hope this clarifies things a bit

The method in that thread is similar to my 1st post. Maybe the utilities they used are different. All the steps prior to the flash are the same. They are for converting a bmp file to a nb file and then to a nk.nbf to be used for flashing. It should work on the Prophet PROVIDED you use the prophet update utility (not the Wizard's) to flash.

Using that file will give you the HTC black logo. The steps I mentioned will allow you to use any customized image...
Could somebody please post an image of the HTC Black logo to see what it looks like before I try the standard update (i.e. from the FTP server & without using the HEX edit thingie...)?
Thanx!
The Black HTC Logo's
This will ONLY replace both Splash Screens, it will NOT install or change anything else !
1. The White HTC logo will be replaced by a black image (nothing on it)
2. The Second Splash Screen will be replaced by a nice HTC Logo.

Pardon the newbie question, but how does one extract the RUU (and the other 4 files) from the full ROM? I have Jester's G3 r1 file but it's an exe, not a zip. Is there a site from where I can get the latest Prophet G3 RUU package?

Let's see if I remember this correctly:
1) double-click your .exe file -> it should start up the ROM update window as normal.
2) Go to windows/temp folder. You should see the files that the exe file extracted. (if you cannot find it, do a search for *.nbf or one of the other files - the file would be in the same directory). Maybe it is in documents and settings/user/local settings/temp in Win XP. I can't remember exactly as I'm on Vista now.
3) copy the RUU file to a separate folder.
There you have it.... unless I miss something.
You were right, Putra, it was the D&S\...\Temp folder. Thanks!!!
G3 version
a little bit confused: which version I have to use to update the splash screens on my G3? Is there a tool where I can load only the splash screens and it will update the prophet ROM?

If u have winrar installed on PC, then just right click on any exe, and u will get extract options. Extract to any folder as u want, and get all files inside that exe.

Hi pof.
This is a great idea and I thank you for the instructions but I got to #6 and am so new to ROM building(virgin, in fact ) that I must ask....
In the htc rom tool do I leave all fields blank except for the splash screen entry? And where do I enter that? I assume that I type splash.nb into the splash1 field.
Else, do I fill in all of the fields such as country ID, version, IPL?
many thanks.
karlo
one more question. does this flash delete my current tytn's settings (do i need to flash splash screens after hard reset or anytime)?
re
Is there a way to make a .cab file to change the bootsplash image? Also i see some custom roms have a 3d intro (maybe flash?) how would i go about doing this?
Thanks
thanks a lot man
To change Splash Boot screen, made a picture 320x320 pixel 96dpi save it in .png and rename in welcomehead.96.png
Use Resco Explorer, copy, paste and replace the welcomehead.96.png in folder Windows, make a soft reset.
So, this will be the correct tool to use to format images for the Titan?

How do you run bmp converter? Not work for me!
I get 240 file eroor when trying to flash it to my tytn2.
Optical Illusion Splash Screens
Some optical illusions:
Animated?
Since the image is in .png format is it safe to assume that we can NOT load an animated splash screen??.. Also does flashing via the steps in the first post accomplishes the same as replacing the welcomhead.96.png manually??
Thank you..
jadehawk: you are correct that the welcomehead.96.png is non-animated, if you create an animated .gif and rename it to .png it may work in some programs that read inside the file for the relevant code to know how to display it but most programs including the wm6 bootup hook will not display it how it should so don't bother
Just to clarify that the original post by pof is "THE ONLY WAY" at present to replace the splash screen on initial boot of the phone, the welcomehead.96.png usage is on windows boot (some people have a 3rd animated .gif in between the 2, but this doesn't work on all models even with the registry entries in place, i have tried on my T-Mobile).
hope that helps.
Russ
Thank you
Great thank you for clearing that out.. for now I am just happy replacing the animated.gif file in the windows folder with something other than the HTC animated one.. I have tried to make my own ROM using the kaiser kitchen but so far It has never worked at least not like the really simple tutorials I have found here.. still waiting for a better tutorial with screenshots and all.. so far i will stick with the ones I get from here and use the sprite backup to restore the applications I want loaded in the ROM.. thank you

How to change the Start Up screen
Choose the file you fancy, rename it to welcomehead.192 and copy it to /windows folder on your device. Restart, Enjoy!
All files are in .png format and if you copy them as it is and just rename them to welcomehead.192, it should work. Please let me know if it doesn't
How to change Splash screen
a) I have also made an animated .gif file if your ROM has a splash screen, you could replace it.
Splash Screen will ONLY work if your ROM already has a splash screen cooked into it. If you are using a custom ROM where splash screen has been removed, then you can't use the animated screen. If you try to install, you won't see any change! Don't worry, it won't brick your phone!
in HKLM\Software\Toshiba\StartupAnimation:
Enabled (DWord) : 1
GIFFile (String) : \windows\animated.gif
Change the one in BLUE to the WM_animated.gif, so that new animation file will be used instead of default 'animated.gif'

u can use an external file explorer like Resco file explorer. In properties of file, untick system and hidden. Once u have replaced the file simply put the ticks back for new file. Hope this helps

You should be able to replace Orange splash screen with animated.gif - animated WM screen in the first post. You need a registry editor like Resco registry editor or total commander in order to make the registry changes I mentioned in first post.
Aha, now I understand. I'll try again wit WM_animated.gif from your first post.
