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

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.)

Well At leat you appolgized for the redundancy...
Check the first thread, it has everything you need.
From Dumping a ROM, to Rebuilding a dumped ROM (If you want to flash to your original)
As far as warranty exchange goes. There is a section for reverting to the original SPL, then flash the original ROM, and it's all set.
Once again, check the first Thread, G.W.E.N.I. has all the answers

Hi all,
I am quite new to android, I got my Magic few days ago.
I did tried to root the machine and found the wifi can't start.
Then i found a recovery program and tried to use that to restore my machine.
That was successful but found that is Taiwan ChungWah ROM with "Hami" boot logo with it.
So I flash it again to HK official rom BUT the "Hami" boot logo is still there, can anyone please help me with this problem? I just want to restore my magic to HK official status...
Also does anyone knows what is the SPL version of HK ROM? Can I flash it back to official SPL after flashing the ROM?
Thanks!
Check your motherboard.
This is essential to further your progress in rooting your device.
Turn off your device.
Now, power it on while holding the POWER KEY + VOLUME DOWN - this will load the information directly from your phone for display.
Write down what you see.
Then seek out assistance based on your motherboard version.
Good luck.
I want to replace boot logo as well , how can I ?
Hello, is there anyway can replace Taiwan Magic's Hami boot logo ? I try the fastboot flash method and it does not work. Is there anyone know how to replace ? thanks

I suggest you rather not do it.
You might damage your bootloader and brick your phone. :|

but it is still possible isn't it? i've been wanting to ask vishwanath himself bout this but i think he is busy..cos he managed to change the splash screen on fitdroid. or perhaps can you tell me please the name of the file for the splash screen image? what type of file is it? i've extracted the boot.img and came up with boot.img-ramdisk.gz and boot.img-kernel...but then i got stuck ..dunno what to do next..
by the way thx for the info...well noted..i'll keep that in mind
I have looked for a considerable amount of time and still cant get this down, I changed roms to a Sense rom, and it changed my splash screen, which was fine but now I went back to cyannogen, with a full wipe and the splash screen didnt revert to the original sensation one, I would like it to go back, any ideas on where I could get the file and how to flash it exactly would be great, I am very noobish with this stuff so any kindness would be greatly appreciated, I am not saying this hasnt been covered, Im just saying that I in my efforts have been unable to find the information, please and Thank you.

Hi,
Check HERE
If you want the stock htc splash then you can download this:
http://db.tt/3FSojp5f
You can run a script from terminal to flash any created splash:
Code:
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/[COLOR="Red"]your splash file[/COLOR] of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
Change the "your splash file" to whatever you've named your splash, and make sure you type everything correctly. If you mistype the block you stand a chance of writing to the wrong partition, which would be very bad.
