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.
Btw, this is where I got the ability to cook my splash screen on my ROMs. You know the first bootscreen.
Here.
I don't speak Vietnamese, but it's pretty easy to figure out. If you don't understand me, tell me and I'll write a walkthrough. The pictures tell it all, though.
EDIT:
Things you need:
-Thay Doi_SplashScreen.
-NBH_Tool_v1.1.
-HTC_ROM_Tool.
Create a BMP or JPG that's 240x320.
Run Chạy Tool Replace SplashScreen.exe
Click Load Bitmap and choose your file.
Click Update Splash.
It will create the needed files where the BMP/JPG is currently stored.
Take the ruu_signed.nbh and use NBH_Tool_v1.1 to extract the PrimarySplash.nb that you can use with your ROM.
you should probably type it up anyway. hah
Thanks for the link, Ivan
Can someone upload the files, I cant read the site so I cant make a log in lol.
Thx

Thanks Ttran!! I knew someone would step in and help me in my time of laziness.
Dumb Question
Okay, this is probably a dumb question.
I followed your instructions to the letter -- got the PrimarySplash.nb file.
My questions is Now what do I do to flash it to the phone. Go back to step 1?
Please Advise
Thanks

Okay got it. Will try it. Thanks.
by the way, thanks so much for using Megaupload and Not Rapidshare. Megaupload is by far the best.
I'm nervous about doing this but here goes.
Just one question. I put the PrimarySplash.nb in splash box and not system box -- right?
Please advise.
thanks. (I just don't want to brick my phone.)
Got it -- worked. You are a Genius.
Okay I did what I thought and it worked great. Thanks again!!!!!
yay for viets! (sorry gotta represent)

Haven't tested that, but it's probably for one of the other two startups. The first startup cannot be changed without flashing.

did you make the picture that you want for the flash screen ? Did you download the easy how to as well ???
Ok I am no noob .. Maybe im too tired or I missed something somewhere in all of this. So let me ask all the dumb questions and hopefully you can make this a sticky clearly explained. Lets start will all the directions 1 by 1 and hopefully 1 of you geniuses can clean it up then hopefully make a sticky .....
A.) Download all files needed. (assistance is more than welcomed here)
B.) get the picture you want to use for your splash screen.
(**Instructions written by ttran001**)
1. Copy the image you would like to use into the image folder.
2. Open up the Step 1 folder and run the Replace SplashScreen.exe file.
3. Click on Load Bitmap from the newly opened menu (Replace Artemis SPlashScreen.
4. Click on the Update Splash button.
The PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 menu will pop up.
Leave it alone.
5. Go back to the image folder for step 1 and locate the RUU_signed.nbh file.
6. Copy the RUU_singed.nbh and place it into the RUU_signed folder.
7. Go back and close out both PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 and Replace Artemis SplashScreen.
8. Now go to the step 2 folder and double click on the nbhtool.exe.
9.This will open up Dutty's good NBH tool v1.1.
10. Click on the Decompile NBH file button.
11. Browse back to the RUU_singed folder and locate the new RUU_signed.nbh file.
12. Choose the same location or the one of your choosing to save the extract files.
13. Once completed it will extract a new file called PrimarySplash.nb, this is your new Splash replacement file.
OK we now have that part as easy as can be. Now the next parts for creating a nbh file.
Download and extract the HTC_ROM_Tool to your computer.
Double click on the htcrt.exe file to get started.
This new screen will popup.
Click on the Build! button.
On this screen click on the box under the Device: to select your device type.
Choose Herald
Type in your version of the rom, example: 4.10.531.3
Click on the box highlighted in red to choose your OS.nb file.
( Now where do we get this file from i would like that clarified and have it added to a download list for the sticky please.)
Click on the Build ROM botton.
This new screen will popup.
OK ... Now we have a nbh file... Now what would be the correct way of flashing this to a device. also the basic questions.
1.) Will this delete and or change my settings. ?
2.) What are the risks of flashing this way ?
3.) Does this work with HardSPL ?
4.) Does this work without HardSPL ?
5.) Must the picture be a bitmap ?
6.) Can I just use the ReplaceSplashScreen to just change the splash screen ?
7.) Does the program ReplaceSplashScreen work on wing before HardSPL or after or both ?
8.) Maybe im really tired how do I put pictures in this thread ... LOL ...
If I want to change the Windows Mobile splash also, do I change the name from "PrimarySplash" to "Secondary Splash"? or something? thanks.

That is a Manila 2D theme, you have Touch Flo 3D
to be really honest with you, i couldnt tell you the difference!!!! haha
what an amateur!!
lol. happens
ok so you have to install M2D 1st, then once you do that the one you want is a theme that you install.
go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2860699&postcount=4764
this is update 20 there is update 21 that you could do also so download the megaupload or the 4shared and you should get files saying 1-8 well start with number 1 then go all the way when done soft reset and you will get M2D installed.
then install your theme you want
I have written a guide on how to install M2D and its themes.
it's in my sig in the GUIDES thread.
[B]Hello all! i ve got an Htc tytn2. can u plz tell me in detail how to install cab files and Home 2
Thank you all[/B]
Install cab files is quite straightforward. Once you have copied it to your device, you use your file manager to find it. Then you double click to 'open' the file. It will start the installation form then onwards. The same goes for Home2, it also comes as a cab file. Customizing Home2 is something different, but have a look at comunity.pointui.com where you'll find all the answers.

If they are .cab files you just copy the cab to your phone and install it from there.
Each .zip file has a .cab file in it for that skin.
Just plug your fuze into your computer and put the .cab files into your fuze(I usually play my cabs in the My Documents folder). You can just think of the .cad files as .exe files.
