There is another program which you load onto your XDA which will replace the Boot images with the ones you create.
You put the boot images you want into the windows folder on your device, and install the boot image changer, the program then installs the boot images for you. It does not show up on your 'remove programs' list however. If you want to change your images again in the future, just follow the same procedure
Any idea how to uninstall this app?? I installed it, and all it's done for me so far if cause my today screen to hang.

There's noway back The only way is to re-install your own -I mean- devices Splash files and those are embedded in on of the files in the Ext_ROM. Looke for it and extract it from within ur device..
Good luck..

not working...the todays screen not refreshing
unfortunately i have to hardreset to back to normal
Today screen hangs up after changing boot images
For the ppl that have the Today screen hanged up after changing boot images with MDA3_bootimage_changer2, there is no need to hard reset...just switch the today theme to a different one (and of course after that you can revert back to the one you were using! :wink: ) and all will be fine!
Tested only with BlueAngel
cheers

more detailed http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12898&highlight=boot+image
*updated 2/2/2011*
First, props to silentstryder for putting up the process. I'm just giving it it's own thread for the newbies, users with the new hboots (2.02 and 2.10) and for people who just plain don't like command prompt. Also, HUGE thanks to Stoney 666 for giving me the software to convert images to .rgb565 and to CYBERxNUKE for creating it.
*Note*
all filenames in this process are case sensitive. Don't capitalize it if it's not capitalized and don't lower case it if it's not lowercase. Also, do not add extensions unless you're instructed to. Doing any of these can mess up the process.
**UPDATE 10/1/11**
Updated a working PC36IMG.zip (in the attachments in the bottom). The last one was corrupt and the Unrevoked website goes down sometimes.
**UPDATE 10/24/11**
Added up a pro tip for people who want to make their own Splash screens and not just make their own Splash PC36IMG.zip.
Okay, rewriting this process from scratch because, well it's easier that way.
PART 1 (if you downloaded a splash screen image from the Themes and Apps Section of the Evo forums in XDA, the proceed directly to PART 2).
1. Download the EVOSplash Zip from the attachments.
2. Open the howto.txt file inside for instructions on how to use it. With this program, you can convert a file into the required .rgb565 file.
3. Rename the converted .rgb565 file splash1.img
PART 2 (if you have your file all ready to go)
*note* if you have not done so, rename the splash picture to splash1.img
1. Go to this website: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
2. Download the original PC36IMG.zip file (it's close to the bottom)
3. Use a .zip editor (winzip, 7zip, etc) to open it.
*ehem* DO NOT EXTRACT, JUST OPEN
4. Replace the splash1.img in the zip with the one you have/just made. Save it.
5. Plug your phone in, connect to PC via disk drive.
6. Put the PC36IMG onto the root of your SD card (for newbies, that's the very first page of the SD card).
7. Reboot phone into bootloader (turn off, volume down + power)
8. The phone should recognize the zip and ask if you want to update. Select yes (I believe it's volume up for yes).
The zip will install and you're new splash screen should be there next time the phone reboots.
I hope this helps a lot and thanks to everyone who's read it and been patient. It took me a month to thread jumping before I found a process that worked with hboot 2.02 and 2.10 (I have 2.10). This is also the easiest way for people who are uncomfortable with adb and the command prompt.
Give me a thanks if it helped, I do this for free so I don't accept donations
**PRO TIP**
If you want it to fit the whole screen (or to make your own from scratch), use a photo or paint like program (Photoshop, etc). Make a new file that is 480 pixels wide and 800 pixels for height. Then re-size the picture you want to use in it (another tip: use a picture that is bigger than 480x800. If it's smaller, it'll get fuzzy and become lower quality) to fit the borders of the new file. Alternatively, you can make your own. Save as JPEG when you're done, then follow the instructions above.
Followed the process, it's not working for me. I don't get a prompt to update in hboot. PC36IMG.zip is on the root of my SD card. =/
EDIT: When I boot back into CM6 and look at the root of my SD card the .zip is gone...
EDIT2: Diagnosed and fixed, had to make the PC36IMG.zip rwx-rwx-rwx. Flashed just fine!
what about users with hboot 0.93.0000?

Okay here we go. This process is to install custom splash screens without having to use the command prompt or fastboot. Users who have hboot 2.02 and 2.10 CANNOT use the command prompt anyway so this is the workaround for those people.
1. Download the PC36IMG.zip from the attachments.
2. Find the splash screen you want and rename it splash1.img (don't worry about any warnings about it not being usable, Android is smarter than Windows).
3. Open the .zip and delete the splash1.img that's already there and replace it with the one you downloaded.
4. Plug your phone in, select "disk drive".
5. Move the .zip file into the first page (or root page) of your sd card.
6. Remount sd card (not necessarily important, but recommended).
7. Power Down
8. Load into Hboot (volume down + power)
9. Hboot will recognize the .zip as an update and will ask if you want to install it, hit volume up to install.
10. Reboot and enjoy your new splash screen.
If this gets a sticky, so be it, if not, I am going to PM the OP of the sticky'd thread with all the splash screens and ask him if he'd put this guide in there.
I hope this helps some people, it sure helped me.

you forgot to mention that the image used for the splash needs to be in .rgb565 format before renaming it to splash1.img, and has to be saved as a 24bit rgb bmp or png file before converting to .rgb565.... use this to convert the images to .rgb565 View attachment EVOSplash.zip there is also a "how to" in the zip.

Thanks, all the splash files i've downloaded so far have been in .rgb565 so far but this is definitely useful information, especially if people want to make their own.

This is compatible with all hboots. It's just that people with the two newest ones can't use any other method (to my knowledge) except this one so I thought it was guide worthy. Most of the threads that have splash screens have alternate instructions.

people still need this, I wish I could get it sticky'd
problem installing splash screen
I am having the same problem as above, I have read alot on this fourm and still cannot get a different splash screen up. Im looking to install the stock flash for the evo. I'm getting an error no image found please help.
Thanks...
I found
a flashable zip of the stock splash screen, and it worked, but I would still like to know how to do this. I wanted to put on the red evo skelton giving the finger.

When you add the image to the Evo, make sure it's in it's native resolution (my instructions only cover splash screens from this forum, which is 800x480).
For further info, read Stoney 666's post, that's how you do it if your image doesn't start in the right file type.
Thanks.
Got it to work, not sure how, i think i used a different PC36IMG file, or I took zip off the ending.

Even if you take off the .zip it's still a zip so one way or the other it works I just uploaded the PC36IMG file I found on the Unrevoked website.
Glad you got it to work!
Ok, I'm not doing something right. I downloaded the PC36IMG.zip, opened it, replaced the file with the splash screen I wanted, and re-zipped the file. Put it on the root of my sd card, and started it in bootloader. First, it didn't prompt me to update, although when it checked the sd card for updates, I did note that it said "parsing PC36IMG.zip", but then returned to the menu. I tried flashing it from recovery as well and it didn't work.
From all the stuff I've read this seems to be the method that makes the most sense and is easiest. I've tried flashing it via ABD and a whole bunch of other stuff to no avail; my computer must not like my phone.
What am I doing wrong, I followed your steps...
EDIT: I rooted phone with unrevoked...don't know if that is why. I know that has been a roadblock with some of the other methods of changing the splash screen.
Any possible way to get this turned into a flashable zip file? Im not good with adb!

For 1 you don't have to unzip and re-zip. Just replace the image that's already in the zip. I think a couple of people have had this problem before. I'd try again without re-zipping the package.
Also, if you didn't get the splash screen from this section of the forums (i.e. you're using your own or from a different phone in xda), go to post #4 (on the first page) and read stoney 666's post about converting the file to .rgb565 and then renaming it (not convert, rename) it to splash1.img (yes, with the file extension).
Basically, from where you are, here's what I'd do:
attempt to just replace the splash1.img file in the zip without unzipping and try again. Or, try downloading the original, untainted one here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
and follow the steps over again.
if that doesn't work:
follow stoney 666's instructions and convert the image to .rgb565 format and then rename it to splash1.img.
That should do it.
I will also post that link in the OP and tell people to get the original instead of using mine as people have been having trouble with it.

I revised the instructions on the original post, it should work for you. It's not flashable in recovery, but it's flashable in bootloader which is just as good (don't need clockwork or ra recovery to do it).
I tried it again adding the file to the zip instead of unzipping, rezipping, and no dice. I'll download the PC36IMG file from unrevoke's website and see if that works.
EDIT: I just downloaded the one from unrevoked's website, and I noticed the image file it has in there by default is "splash1.img". The name of the file I am inserting is "evosplash1.rgb565". That is the correct file name, right?
Also, I just tried it with the file from unrevoked's website, still no luck. It just says "parsing PC36IMG" but doesn't do anything and returns to the bootloader options...
Ok, so I finally got it figured out, thanks to moseso. Apparently, it was because the name of the file was wrong. As I understood it, the file was to be named evosplash1.rgb565 . But I had to rename it to splash1.img . I guess it was a misunderstanding on my part, idk. But I got it now. Here is the link to the thread if anyone wants or needs it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11113102#post11113102

maybe a really stupid question, as i can be known for those but i can be a worry wart. im using miui 1.8.5 on tiamat-evo 4.0.6 w/ sbc, and im just curious, is reflashing the stock pc36img.zip (after my file replacement, ofc) going to change ANYTHING else on my phone? been having a hell of a time keeping it running lately and i WANT to do this, but now im leery of EVERYTHING...
*DISCLAIMER: you must be rooted to try this, and second if you are rooted then you know that your warranty is now void, and lastly I am not responsible for any damage that may be incurred to your phone or yourself by following my steps*
I have tested this, and it works with HBOOT 2.10
First off, to give credit where credit is due:
- cypser @ android central (his tut is the outline for mine, but I wanted to bring it over to xda, and also for the nbimg file links.)
- pof for creating the nbimg tool
- romracer for creating a mac version of the nbimg tool
- dkdude36 for the android-info.txt file
- all the developers and great people here at xda, for inspiring me to delve into the android world, as well as helping me along they way
Now the the tut!
You will need:
nbimg (HTC splash screen conversion tool)
- Windows
- Mac
- Linux
android-info.txt
- dkdude36's attachment
and a program to create a .zip file (7zip or whatever)
Step 1.
Find an image. It can be any image, but you must crop it to be 480x800 (use pretty much any photo editing program to do so). You must then save your image as a 24-bit RGB .bmp file and name it splash1.bmp.
*EDIT* This is from dased14 and outerdepth who was having problems getting the splash screen to flash. Thought maybe this would help someone else:
dased14: the option for 24 bit rgb comes up go to advance mode and make sure it says that its (checked) 24 bit r8 g8 b8
outerdepth: That line in your help was the key, mi amigo. So for anyone using photoshop, (I don't know why it's not default, but whatever) make sure you look at advance mode and do the above.
Thank you tons, brother. I got my newest creation going as my splash. It's a small victory, but greatly appreciated. You rock, and thanks to the OP for the initial instructions.
Step 2.
Download and extract the appropriate nbimg version. You can extract it to where ever you like, but for the purposes of this tut I will use c:/sdk/tools (just because that is where I put all of my evo stuff)
Step 3.
Download the android-info.txt file into the same directory as nbimg.
Step 4.
Put the splash1.bmp into the same directory as nbimg.
Step 5.
Open a command prompt and type the following (use whatever directory that you used in place of sdk/tools):
Code:
cd\
cd sdk/tools
nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800
You should get this output:
Code:
=== nbimg v1.1
=== Convert NB <--> BMP splash screens
=== (c)2008 Pau Oliva - pof @ xda-developers
[] File: splash1.bmp
[] No padding added. Check file size.
[] Encoding: splash1.bmp.nb
[] Image dimensions: 480x800
[] Adding 0 bytes padding using pattern [0xff]
[] Adding HTC splash screen signature
[] Done!
This will create a file called splash1.bmp.nb in the same folder as nbimg.
Step 6.
Rename splash1.bmp.nb to splash1.img (a message may pop up saying something about the new extension being unusable, just click OK).
Step 7.
Take splash1.img and android-info.txt and create a zip file named PC36IMG.zip
Step 8.
Place PC36IMG.zip on the root of the sdcard in your phone. After that, power of your phone, then while holding the vol-down button, turn on your phone (this will make your phone boot into the bootloader, unless you have a rom with fast boot enable. If so then you can either disable it, download an app like quick boot and reboot to bootloader through the app, or use adb if you have that enabled.)
If you decide to use adb (I'm assuming that you already have adb set up if you've opted to use it), here is what you'll enter into the cmd prompt:
Code:
cd\
cd sdk/tools
adb shell
reboot bootloader
Once you have the white screen with skateboarding androids at the bottom, it will either 1)start scanning for an update file, or 2)it will have the following 4 options: BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER, POWER DOWN.
If option 1 happens, press vol-up to update. After it updates, press it again to reboot, and you should see your new splash screen.
If option 2 happens, then press the power button to select BOOTLOADER. Once you do that it should start scanning for an update, and follow the steps above to flash your new splash screen.
I am also attaching a splash1.img version of the original HTC splash screen, in case you need to go back to it.
I hope that this tut has helped someone out as much as it helped me! I missed being able to use fastboot commands to flash my own splash screens (with the new HBOOT's being locked down), but this is actually an easier process than what it used to be.
If I have helped you out hit my thanks button!
cool so easy
Having a little trouble
Every time I try to do this, once I load it on hboot, it installs, but the image I used is not there. It has a white picture of 3 Androids skateboarding as my splash. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

you have coverted the image to a 480x800 bmp first then rename it to splash1.bmp, then used nbimg to covert that to splash1.img, then adding that to the android-info and zipped it up(in normal) and renamed it to PC36IMG(just as you see it) then installed it on sdcard and rebooted into bootloader, after it finds it you hit volume up (2x)once for yes to the update and then again for the reboot. just checking your steps.

Yep, in order, all instructions followed to the t. I don't get it. It says install yes no and I say yes. It says it installed, which it must have somehow, because I have other splashes I have used in the past and have reflashed them tonight just to make sure it's not the phone. But it did install, just not the picture I created, it's what I described above, which is not what I made. I don't get it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dude, what did you do to get it working? I really wanna know. What am I doing wrong?
not sure what i did different from you if you followed the steps.i do pretty much the samething. i use gimp to edit and resize never bothered to check if it's 24bit rgb when i save it, i just hit save as rename and then do the nbimg thing and combine with the info file and zip in normal. i did tweak up another one using that pic(couldn't help myself) if you want i can post it up
heres a pic of it

Seriously?!
Well, that sucks. I am still trying to figure out this little gem. It's annoying me that I can't get this working. You know what they say. If at 1st you don't succeed...
what are you using to resize pics to 480x800(photoshop,gimp,etc)
maybe the problem lies in that
I am using Photoshop. When it saves to .bmp format, it asks if I want 24b and so on. That's what it's set to by default. So, I am kinda at a loss for words at the moment. This is so simple, I know it's something tiny I am overlooking. I am totally following the instructions in the OP.
Let me try to make one using PhotoShop and see what happens, I normally use Gimp. I'll let you know

K, thanks
worked flawlessly for me
this is what i did using ps4(on windows):when your save your(h480xw800) splash1.bmp and the option for 24 bit rgb comes up go to advance mode and make sure it says that its (checked) 24 bit r8 g8 b8 then do the nbimg(renaming it to splash1.img after convert)and when you zip it up (in normal) make sure that its PC36IMG.zip and not PC36IMG.zip.zip(if using 7zip just name it PC36IMG it should add the zip ext to it) try it and let me know the outcome
I wanted to add, I did flash your pc36img via bootloader and it worked fine. So, I am gonna try again and see what happens. Am I supposed to alter anything in the txt file in the zip or just leave it as is from the download?
no as long as your txt file looks like this "modelid: PC3610000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 3.26.651.6
hbootpreupdate:3
DelCache: 0
DelUserData:0
your good, just try a new image and resize to 480x800 and run through it like i did and lets see what happens
when you put the one your trying out on sdcard just rename the old one to (1)PC36IMG so you can just rename it if the newer fails(easier than redownloading it everytime )

Yes. You should keep the original image height and width, and color depth. If you see file size reduced after saving, it's okay as long as you do not change pixels and color depth.
I recall, for example, 01.bmp extracted is around 20M but after you save it it's just around 5M. Feel safe, it's correct.
The newly generated logo binary file should be 19.5M, according to my memory. I don't have that file on hand now.
And if you broke it, you'll end up with a strange bootloader UI (with volume keys to select different modes), but don't worry, just flash a correct logo.bin and you'll make it running again.

Alright , thank you again for that awesome explanation . Have a nice week !
Anyone has a "Mix" logo just like the boot animation?
Hi , i don't know why
But whenever i flash the logo.img created by your program.(even when using images you provided)
It always booted into a weird bootloader interface.
i'm on miui 9.6 china.
Wonder if anything has to do with this?
Can you help fix it?
Thanks!!!
Hello,
I will use this to remove the "unlocked" message at boot.
It's possible to simply copy 01.bmp to 03.bmp then recompile the image? (I ask due to size of 01.bmp is higher than 03.bmp)
Thanks

I've created this Mix2s image (https://mega.nz/#!51UDyQoT!3b9sL2j4dNDW8WUNck39xVfNNuClqED2rZGw7kU5ZQs) using the files from OP to remove the "unlocked" message on boot splash.
You can use it if you want...

Ready to use file? hmm
So it's just "fastboot flash logo xiaomi_mix2s_logo_image_removing_unlocked_message.img"
How safe is this? did you use the very same file?
Of course, I have used the same file that I've uploaded to my mega and is working fine. You can use it or generate using the op generator, but in any case I'm not responsible if you brick your device, blah, blah, blah...

Nice, ill put my contact information to make it harder to sell if it gets stolen or lost
Any chance this can be updated for the new format? New logo won't overwrite the bootloader splash.

Great idea, so:
Fastboot, boot image etc ...with details, orange fox(instead of twrp) with pin locked and rom locked displaying personal info
This won't be an easy sale if stolen(hopefully not)
I was always kinda annoyed by the not matching boot logo. After the loader I could change the logo to the car manufacturer but the first seconds still showed "On vehicle navigation system". After installing the Malasyk 8.0 ROM I recognized a different boot logo. So a change was possible. After some playing around with various ROM tools I was able to change the logo (sorry, I don't remember the exact steps). After switching to the HAL9k ROM, the changed logo was gone. The old method didn't work with HAL as the boot loader with the logo was part of the signed update.zip and changing the logo of course breaks the signature.
So I played round with dumping various partitions and check for the logo. There is a way to change it:
NOTE: The slightest mistake in one of the steps WILL brick your device!!!
1. Dump the bootloader partition
2. Find the logo in the dump
3. Replace the logo in the dump
4. Write the new bootloader parition
In general it is a good idea to connect to the device using adb on your PC as typing on the on-screen-keyboard is error prone. dd commands have to be executed as root.
1a. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk2p4 of=/storage/ext_sd/mmcblk2p4.bin
Note: Depending on your ROM or device the partition might be different. So if you don't find the logo there, try other partitions. Also adapt the of argument. I wrote the file to the "Music" SD card.
1b. Write down the file size. In my case it was exactly 16MB.
2a. Search the dump file for the string "BM6". I used HxD and found it atoffset F800.
2b. Dump everything starting as this offset to a new file and name it with the extension BMP.
2c. Open it with your favorite viewer (I use IrfanView) and check if it is the correct logo.
2d. Check the resolution. In case of the HAL9k 3.1 ROM it should be 800x480x24, for Malasky it was 1024x600x24
2e. Save the file there to a different name.
2f. Check the new file size. In case of the HAL9k 3.1 ROM it should be 1152054 bytes
3a. Create a logo of your choice with exact the same resolution.
3b. Check the file size. It must be identical to the one of the dumped BMP
3c. Replace the data in the compete dump. Make sure, you use the correct offset and use replace, not insert.
3d. Save the new dump and compare the file size. It must not be changed!
4a. Copy the file back on the SD card
4b. Write it back: dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk2p4 if=/storage/ext_sd/mmcblk2p4.bin
Note: if and of is now switched!
4c. Reboot
Just did mine in Hal9k rom.Thank you

Hi,
just a thought of safety..
is it not better that you change that -boot- logo for all cars so that "everybody" can choose his car logo, instead or to prevent that men would make some a mistake which wouldl brick his headunit?

Thanks for this!
In my case, it was mmcblk2p7.
At first, I had a black screen, but file size and resolution was correct.
Somehow, I managed to boot the device again and then I tried another picture and it worked.
I don't know the difference between my first and second try...but I'm lucky that my device isn't bricked.
Maybe we find a safer way for this...
