do you see it on?

Any idea anyone ?

right now

protected too !

i'm trying a password on it too, i don't know if it will work

somebody have to have uploaded them there

This looks like someone's cruel joke. :evil:

i don't know, the size of the file for the rom is 27megs and the file version of the file is the right one for the smartphone that has been confirmed by other users. my program to crack the password for the zip file can take up to two days. i wish there was a quicker way around this.

now just have to figure out how to load it

i got as far as loading the mtty program but i get an error when i try to load the rom
Cmd>l c:\myalias.bin
clean up the image temp buffer at 0x8C080000 Length 0x01B00000

i get it with a audiovox 5600,i wonder if it's cause i don't have the c500

would make sence when no 2 HTC pocketpc can share rom then that no 2 htc smartphone can share rom would make sence

figured it out, your bootloader needs to be upgraded to say Typhoon IU. mine didn't follow the second post from here to learn how to do it.

does anyone know how to downgrade? help!!!!!

haven't figured out yet how to downgrade.
the 0109 bootloader does not work with the normal upgrade utility.
I am working on extending my typhoonnbfdecode.pl script to also generate sd card images.

can anyone cofirm this specific download works on a uk c500? And has anyone tried tomtom on it? Still a bit nervous of trashing my phone!
Thanks

if you read the 3 posts before your mainly the first i cant blame you for being spooked

it works on the typhoon type devices ( with the long horizontal navigator button ), not on the feeler ( with the small round joystick), or sonata ( with music player buttons )
on the non-typhoon devices, the joystick button behaves strangely, you cannot move left/right.

Change the bootscreen?

Anyone found a way to do this?
Would love to change the HTC picture before Windows Mobile comes up.
Cheers
S.K.

Changing "welcomehead.96.png" fixed up the windows mobile screen
(located in /windows)
however, the screens im after are the ones that come up before the windows mobile screen... The cingular 3g screens...
Anyone know how to change those? I remember on the sx66 having to do with .nb files and running an applications and what not. But im looking for confirmation on the hermes 8525.
Any info is greatly appreciated.

On hermes bootloader you can only flash code using 'lnbs' or 'wdatah' commands, these require the code to be signed with private HTC keys, so it's not possible to change boot splash screen until we find a way to flash unsigned code on hermes.

Ok..... sniff
Guess the code is tougher to crack since the Blue Angel days
Thanks Pof, im sure you and the others will crack it soon.

As searching didn't help me in this case...
What do I need to do to get rid of the bootscreen that I got when I installed the WM6 vanilla OS?! The "Bring back the ROM archive" bootscreen..
Is it the bootloader that needs to be replaced (Let's say I want the original bootloader)??

Check this thread..if you're an AT&T subscriber like myself, then try out my custom logo. Just run "RomUpgradeUt" from your hermes and you're ready to rock and roll.

SplashTool - convert old splash screen NB file to new format

I've created a small tool which will take a splash screen NB file created using madkat's NB image converter and convert it to the new splash screen format used in HTC Devices such as Kaiser or Titan. It just adds padding with zeros and the string "This is HTC splash signature" at the end.
Enjoy

Nice one pof! Many thanks for all your contributions.

@generalriden: sorry, Atom boot screen uses a different format.

Image Converter not working.
Hello all.
It's been a while since I've been back here at XDA Dev. Was around when I had my Universal and hacked it to kingdom come. Now I have a HTC TyTN II. Had it for awhile. I've tried Dutty's ROMs and they are amazing. My problem is that I tried to create my splash images that I used to use on my Universal. However, the image convertor in the first post keeps giving me an error when I try to run it? I've attached the error. Was wondering if anyone could help. Also, is it possible to create the splash image from the Universal? However that one used to have a a 640x480 dimension. Let me know. Thanks.

same question ,pof will dis work in blue Angel with WM6

Wizard
can we use this in our Wizard with WM6?

I use to mess with alot of .ocx files when making misc yahoo tools long long ago. My thought would be to download a new copy of comdlg32.ocx and re-register it. I'm sure if you do a search on google you'll find them all over yahoo booter sites and such. All their prog's are dependent on various ocx files.

For future reference:
Place the file in %SYSTEMROOT%\system32
e.g.: C:\Windows\system32

Hi just tried the converter but it's corrupted. I get the error message:
Component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered. A file is missing or invalid.
I tried downloading it again but keep getting the same result.
*EDIT: Found the solution in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334907&page=4 Post#37
This cabinet file contains the missing files which need to be put in the same folder as the nb converter.exe http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/comdlg32.cab

Polaris Splash

Hi All,
first: I know there was just few posts ago same thread.
BUT!
What i really want to see here(We r in Polaris section not Kaiser)
is proper tools and proper explan. how to build and flash Splashes for Polaris.
I tried to do that with info given in Kaiser branch but no luck(mostly coz i was affraid to brick my cruise)
I have to deal with noobs every day at work (i put myself in noob cat. when it concerns phones-flashing-and etc.) and the only way to help them when screeming at u saying that u r as..ole and dont want to help--- is to draw them a "PICTURE" with what they have to do.
So.
Im nOOb here and i'd love to see that PICTURE.
It'd be nice if someone who knows this stuff and does it every day, would make some PrintScreen of the whole proccess of creating and flashing splashes for Polaris.
Thanx alot to all of u who makes our(nOOb's(but willing to learn)) lives more interesting
Cheers lads

Don't know about changing the first HTC splash screen but the Windows one that loads after it really got on my nerves...so if you want to change just that one this app worked for me.
It basically unlocks the file welcomehead.96 in the Windows folder. You can then overwrite it with a picture of your choice (renamed "welcomehead.96"), saved as a .png image and resized to 240x320 (I used Paint for this).
Hope this helps a little.

cheers dude.

SubSplash Flash
Hi, here is a group of very useful tools that load any image you like into the boot loader creating your own splash
There is an interesting thing: another Splash after the first one called Subsplash (when showing radio and rom versions) that is tricky to replace. It has place at the address 0x601. So, you have to edit htcrt_devices.ini file by changing the address wherever you read 0x600 put 0x601, look for your device (or change them all in the list just in case). Only then you can produce the RUU_signed.nbh. After that, replace into ROMUpdateUtility folder and flash. Try it. Almost one day to find out how to get rid of that awfull image from Claro Argentina! Hope this helps.

[help]flashing hd2 with custom boot and splash images

Hello everyone.
I was going to learn how to flash my hd2 to personalize boot and splash image.
I can't deny that i'm a bit confused.
I readed some guide here, like 'how to flash everything' and 'flashing your first leo 512mb' but there is not explained how to proceed to change boot and splash images.
Let's go then to know more about it.
First at all i got that i need to install HSPL2 on the device.
Doing this, we will able us to flash everything on the hd2.
But there are also other progs that i do not undestand if i can use instead the HSPL2, like leo_CustomRUU, or SSPL_RUU.
Maybe can be helpful if someone tell me/us ( noobs ) what is better and easy to use.
After this, there are two 'images' that we can personalize:
-the first is when we turn on the device, with the htc logo and the hand writing word;
-the second, the Windows word on the red desktop color.
The first is the boot image, the second the splash screen.
Is it right?
Okay, if it's correct, i suppose that we need to 'operate' on two different kind of 'image file'.
I downloaded a .zip file that contains various kind of images ( static ) with .nbh extension.
That are splash images, so it will change only the splash image.
I don't know if i can use it directly without rename it, if i must put that file in a specific position on the device or only in the sd root ( formatted ), and then launch the progs ( what kind? ).
Yes...need help for this.
Thanks
p.s sorry for my poor english

hspl2 unlocks the phone for flashing.
sspl is a one shot alternative to hspl, you don't need it.
customruu is a slightly altered version of the rom loader that comes with official roms. it is altered to allow flashing cooked roms.
you flash boot image just like roms, and it is actuallya small rom.(no hard reset needed, doesn't affect your rom at all.)
there are three parts to the boot screens, as you correctly noted, only the first part is flashed, the second and third are changed within your setup by cabs or replacing image files.

i see.
well i downloaded HD2 splash screen V1.zip ( inside the link that you posted here ) and inside it there is already Custom_RUU.
I think then that i must use it to flash the custom splash on the device.
Right?
and...i must put the .nbh file not inside the sd card, but in the device root.

i successfully installed HSPL ( not hspl2 ) on my device.
Now i'm trying to flash the device with an .nbh image, for the splash screen.
My doubt is:
1- where to put the .nbh file
2- if i need to copy custom_ruu.exe also inside the device where is located the .nbh file and then launch another copy of it from my pc.
I did it but the custom_ruu.exe tell me to upgrade the rom from 1.66 to 1.0...
a bit strange i think....or not?
thanks

to flash roms and splashscreens - put the nbh into a folder with customruu (customruu usually comes with the rom, if not use one from another download, all customruu.exe's are the same)
just those two files in folder, run customruu as administrator, done.

i was a little afraid when the app told me to 'update' the rom to 1.0 hehe.
ok then, it's flashed
well, it's also possible to modify the Windows on red background image in some way?
i just installed an .nbh image that allow me to modify the standard htc logo, then a .cab with a post simulation ( like a pc post; unfortunately if i do an hard reset i must reinstall it.... ), but i didn't found nothing for the Windows on the red background colour.
Thanks a lot again for your support

hehe, ignore what it says in the update version bit, its usually blank or wrong.
about the other two images, and re: ' have to reinstal it when hard reset', , , well yea, cos theyre adjustments to the loaded rom, the first part is unconnected, youd get that even if there were no rom, after task29 for instance.

do you know if it's possible to change also the Windows word on the red background?
it's the last image that appear before the sense interface start to load.
i didn't find thread that talk about the possibility to change it or not.
thanks

sorry no idea, i've never tweaked that. i flash too often for it to be an issue.

ok then.
i'll bump this thread with the hope that someone can help us.
The last question is:
it's possible to change with a flashing ( maybe permanent modify then ) the Windows word on red background?
Thanks to you sam for your help, and to those that will answer to this last question

The windows splash screen is a file called welcomehead.png in the windows directory. Just replace this with an image of your choice and it'll be changed.

im pretty sure i can answer that question as no, you cant modify it so that it survives a hard reset without cooking, and then flashing the cooked results, you cant modify the rom. you would need to get the rom in a kitchen, repolace the images, cook the rom and flash it.
In reality, of course, all you need do is keep your replacement images on your sd card, then copy them back after the hard reset.,

in fact i tryed to delete the welcomhead.png, but nothing to do, even if i change the permission with total commander...
i think that there is no easy way to replace it ( aside to cook a ROM with a different image and then install the modified ROM ).
i think ill give up about this...ill keep the standard ( and not really good looking ) Windows word....
thanks to you all

rather than delete the original which you can't cos it's in the rom, just copy replacement over it, that should work.

O2 splash screen
bump... related questions:
1. It's been a while, when I had the TP1, I used Schaps Advanced Config v3.3 to change the 2nd and 3rd items, does v3.3 still work for the HD2 ?
2. Does anyone have the O2 Splash screen GIF with animated rising bubbles? I had it in a samsung flip phone, searched but could not find a WVGA one. Searched Youtube came up blank. something like this on the O2 XDA
3. These are the 2 threads I used on the TP1, I don't think the HD2 has an equivalent thread:
