I get this when trying to use the "c" option to install a splash screen, also when I try the "s" option to restore a backup splash screen, and when I use the "splash_bmp_to_wizard.exe" (i think it just uses awizard anyway, so no surprise there). Does anyone know the solution or have the same problem?
It worked just fine on my stock 8125, this is only since the ROM 2.17 upgrade.
Please check it out, Later; Lew
Lew:
Same thing happend to me. It is, as of now, locked. The lokiwiz and aWizard do not work with the new rom like the old ones.
I was able to change my screen using
ruu_forcedalias_splash_245
Run this and you will have new WM5 GSM splash. I have not tested to set if I can change to my splsh now.
The ruu_forcedalias_splash_245 had a.nbf file for the splash. I wonder if it is possible to change a .bmp file to a .nbf file. If so, one could make whatever splash loader they wanted.
Thanx for the reply and the program. So it changes the splash screen to something generic? It does not allow you to choose what the new image will be? You say that it uses ".nbf", I have a converter that will change a ".bmp" to ".nb" can you see if it works with that? I would but I am at work, plus I wouldent like a generic Splash screen, I suppose I would stick with the QTEK if those were my choces.
Do you have a picture of the generic splash screen?
Heres the converter, of course you have to be logged in =)
Thanks, that saved the day! As things were, I was too embarrassed to reboot in public. I mean, who'd like to be seen holding a sign saying "I MATE FOR BUSINESS, FOR PLEASURE, FOR LIFE"? Besides, mating "for business" is illegal where I live.

LOL
Funniest post I have ever read on this forum, and the award goes to...
mpd
Take a bow!
still chuckling; Lew
p.s. I am working on changing the generic image, as we speak. I havent even tested this ".exe" but I assume by mpds enthusiasm it works. So now I am just trying to change the picture it uses. Any help is always welcome.
Alright I have come to know that the "ruu_forcedalias_splash_245_425.exe" is packaged so I was able to extract the files inside;
EnterBootLoader.exe
RUUGetInfo.exe
RUUResource.dll
ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe
nk.nbf
This looks vary familar to me (anyone who changed the ROM or Radio on a Blue Angel would recognize this )
So the splash image (generic) would be in the nk.nbf.
I need to know how to extract the .nbf to see what is in there, and what can come out so I can find out what type of image I need to make and what to convert it to... so long story short (to late)...
I need to know how to extract an .NBF file.
Thanx; Lew
Lew, please tell me your working on replacing all the splash screens including the very first one when you start up your wizard. I am in a desperate need of replacing the initial image of HTC on my Cingular 8125. How do I replace this ?
Can anyone post a screenshot of the generic bootscreen? I would like to get rid of my ugly T-Mobile ( what designer thought it was so cool for pink, white, light & dark grey ) Splash Screen.
Best regards.
Is there anyone here that could crack this would be "encryption" on the .nbf in question? I tried encoding my splash backup from aWizard using the project file from the "decoded" nk.nbf from "ruu_forcedalias_splash_245_425.exe" and it was a no go. It said that my storage was the wrong size for this ROM update (or something to the effect of NO). So it looks as if this nk.nbf from "ruu_forcedalias_splash_245_425.exe" is the key to unlocking the ability to change splash screens to custom images.
DrBig74 where did you get "ruu_forcedalias_splash_245_425.exe" from? Maybe someone that made it will have the answer we need eh?
Later; Lew
Below is the Windows Mobile Splash screen. Those of us not using QTEK, it is a nice change.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/HTC_Wizard/Splash_Screens/WMGSMSplash.bmp
I believe that I found "ruu_forcedalias_splash_245_425.exe" on the WIKI ftp server. I cannot remember. I did post a message to find this person. My attempts to make a .nbf file out of a splash screen have failed. With previous roms, one was able to run wizsplash and/or aWizard and change the 2nd splash screen with no problem. Oh, well.
Also, good luck changing the 1st HTC splash screen. At this point it cannot be done. Maybe some genius will figure this out soon.
Best,
DrBig74
Ok, good news, thanx to BrightMoonHeart I have been able to extract the BMP from the NBF using "typhoonnbftool_04.exe". The bad news is so far I can't seem to add an image (bmp) to the nbf or remove the current image. So this was a great step forward, just need a little help to get r done. I tried "typho2.exe" but I couldn't get it to do anything except give me the same info "typhoonnbftool_04.exe", It says it can extract the ".NBF" to an ".SPL" and that may allow us to edit it but I was not able to get it to convert. Any ideas guys? Always appreciated
Thanx; Lew
I have mixed feelings over the default Windows Mobile splash now that it is installed over the Qtek logo. However I have run across this... any ideas? have you seen this?
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/xdaii-update-format.html
Hello ,
Have an idea?
look , good or bad track ? Partial ROM flashing
http://arisme.free.fr/TyphoonNBFTools/index.php
The remote client is necessary if you want to downgrade a ROM update having a bootloader version greater than 2.00
thanks
Bad track... NBF Tools use the same technique as aWizard, which was disabled by HTC in the AKU2 models.

I am going to unlock a MDA compact 3 with the imei-check unlocker and I was wondering if I could help to make a free unlock tool....
So which tools do I need...
Start here, and read the whole thread accurately:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280819
SIMLock
So is this nice little Programm you developed in so many hard steps also capable of unlocking the new HTC Artemis (MDA Compact III)?? I would need to know that before bying such a nice device.
On the Homepage of the IMEI-Check the Artemis is cracked with the exact same programm you can download there, but i don't feel like paying for the Unlock key ^^ I read the whole Thread in the Hermes Forum but the Artemis isn't mentioned there, so i wonder if this C3v1Unlocker will work with this Key Unlock key you posted because this Key is surely computed for a Hermes based device... Answers appreciated And thanks for your Great work!

no, it patches the Hermes radio will not be valid for Artemis... although should be a very similar patch, because both devices are quite the same.

The "unlock key" is only valid after patching the radio.
Ah, okay, i see. Is anybody already working on a Radio Patch for the Artemis? I imagine, if the Radio is patched, it should be possible to create a similar Program for the Artemis, once someone gets a key for his Artemis IMEI, or am i wrong with that?
I've been investigating about this, it is not correct what I said previously: the patched radio method used in Hermes or Universal will not work on Artemis.
On Artemis (and other OMAP based devices) the SIM & CID lock area is stored encrypted on Disk-on-Chip (DOC), on the first block of binary partition 1 which can be accessed with pdocread.
I guess imei-check reads this area and patches it (probably they have to load a "fake" bootloader in RAM first to get SecLevel=0, as they did with the activesync part of the Hermes unlocker).
I don't have Artemis and can't do much more, but if someone is interested in researching I will be watching this thread and try to help, so feel free to post tech questions here if you are serious about writing a free unlocker for the Artemis.

have you read this tread ? -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=274860
I have "reconstruct" what actually that utility do. Actually utility uses ITSME utilities to access phone, but on exactly adresses. First it reads some area form RADIO of the phone to the file. That area is 16K large and contains IMEI.
pdocread.exe -n 1 0x040000 0x4000 -b 0x4000 "pdocread.dat"
After that in temp file pdocread.dat at addresss 0x300C - 0x3013 is stored IMEI. One digit is for some CRC check, I think CRC8 but didn't check at all. So that "IMEI Wizard" changes IMEI in file pdocread.dat, calculates and changes CRC digit, and writes file back to the RADIO of the phone with command:
pdocwrite.exe -n 1 "pdocread.dat" 0x040000 0x4000 -b 0x4000
So simple and working.
When it doesn't work ? It doesn't work on new G4 phones, even WIZARD and PROPHET. It works on the same phones, but with old G3 chipset. And phone MUST be CID unlocked and RAPI enabled. The reason ultility fail to work on new G4 phones is that pdocwrite is not ready yet to work with that phones. I am looking for utility to change IMEI on P3300 (Artemis i think) or S200 (PROPHET) too.
IMEI Change?!
The "older" HTC Devices can all be unlocked without changing the IMEI i think, there has to be a way to unlock this phone without changing the IMEI of the unit. Apart from the unlocking process being illegal already, changing the IMEI of a Celluar Phone is even worse Maybe i got your post wrong and you do not intend to really change the IMEI, i dunno...

Yes, we ALL know consequences from changing IMEI. And we ALL read well-written topic about it >> IMEI changing is going to get you sore!. << Did you ?
And did you know that is some countries you just MUST to change IMEI to use your phone ? I will save your time for searching and point one of hundreds topics about this >> To all TURKISH fellows and others a must read story !!! <<. And because of this I can't upgrade to better phone ... for now.
So .. if you don't offer anything constructive but just criticism - please, go to flame on some other topic. Or better - just shut up.

Kircho cool down and tell me something
I may be coming to Turkey early next year (January, maybe). Please confirm that roaming with my current provider for a week is no problem? Or do I have to carry my receipt?
kircho,
Probably you've been confused because the company that sells SIM-Unlocker for the Artemis is called "imei-check", but we were discussing about SIM-Unlock here, not imei-changing.
Haha!
Lol, Kircho... how old are you??
I don't care what you do with you IMEI, believe me, i really don't! All i said is that i would love to have a method to disable SIM Lock without messing around with my units IMEI, thats all.
It was NO CRITICISM of your work, my knowledge with PDAs and Windows Mobile does not suffice to render any code to unlock a device and i am not flaming here. If this thing you figured out works for your device, thats cool and i am glad for you, i just wouldn't do it with my device, thats it...

There is no problem with roaming. If your SIM card is issued by some forign operator like UK Vodafone or Dutch KPN - you can use any phone in Turkey with such card.

Do you know of a way to unlock extended rom on Artemis? I tried the wizard unlock. It appeared to work for a while but ultimately it has done strange things. The extended rom seems to be visible but not the files within...after a while even the visibility of extended rom is lost.
Thanks, a.
I again have a Artemis (dutch mda compact 3) and I can test with for 2 days...
Im gonna unlock it with the paid imei check software....
I have tried to enter bootloader but it won't enter...
How can I be helpfull to do make an unlock tool...
@apap: sorry I don't have an Artemis, and I don't know.
@thagangsta:
Have a look at this thread in order to understand how this was done in the Hermes:
Reverse engineering the HERMES imei-check unlocker
The bootloader commands for the Hermes are explained in these wiki pages, someone should start researching Artemis bootloader and put the commands on the wiki, it is very similar to Hermes.
Hermes Bootloader Information
Hermes Radio Bootloader and AT command interpreter
Some hints that may help you:
1. You can run the unlocker as many times as you want, it doesn't matter if you've already unlocked your device, the imei-check unlocker will behave the same.
2. In order for the USB monitor capture to be useful, you need to click on the "COMPLETE" tab and when you have captured it, export it as ANSI TEXT.
3. If the app fails (communication error) you need to create 2 admin users, 1 for running usb monitor and the other for running the unlocker. Use right click, "run as..." and then select the other admin user. You need to repeat this process several times until you can successfully get the log.
4. be careful on what you post here, as imei-check has intelectual property rights on their work. Do not "copy" their solution, but reimplement it in another way.

Just read the thread for the hermes unlocking. I'm not a complete noob but i'm still stunned by the technical data.
Removed a unformiliar program a week ago called "- -" after canceling a imeicheck upgrade (had no valid .unl file)
Reading "First the imei-check unlocker transfers a CAB file to the device via ActiveSync which installs an application named "- -", which contains at least MIGsoft LTD security certificate (used to sign the NBH file with the bootloader upgrade) and runs some other stuff like this (not completed):"
This must mean the unlockers of the hermes and the artemis work in the same way.
Main Questions are:
Is an unlock for the Artemis using imei-check able to use SuperCID?
Which bootloader can we use that is able to flash all roms?
Which code can we use for unlocking.
Edit
I've found an crack for themida secured files. POF You've stated that the .unl files are themida protected could some people post their unl files.
Could be an easy solution......

You can usb-sniff what is transfered over activesync without the need to pay for it, it is done before it requests .unl file. For sniff the rest of the process (which is done in bootloader mode without activesync) you need to pay for the unlocker.

Yes, but it's not sticky (will loose it after 1st rom flash after applying unlocker). I have solution for this to make supercid sticky if you reverse the process.

Most probably the earliest shipped bootloader version. See to which version of bootloader imei-check unlocker downgrades your device when run with the proper key.

You will see it when usb-sniffing the unlocker.

Available cracks for themida are for older versions... this is not the way to go for sure, I also investigated and got nowhere.
About .unl files I don't know... I said exe unlocker file is packed with themida, never looked at .unl myself, I think its pointless because usb-sniffing is easier.
Good luck!
Just used the monitor with the unlocker but i'm not able to understand what it does and don't have a .unl file.
Here is the logfile ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]/Artemis/Mdacompac3_unlock_no_unl_file.ms2

ms2 is not useful... export capture in ANSI text format please.
Edit -> Export and Save as type "ANSI Text files".
Attached is the HTC utility used to set an arbitrary simlock code on an unlocked Hermes. Follow the included directions, copy config.dat, IMEI_MAPPING_TBL.txt, and hermimg.nbh to a formatted storage card and reset to bootloader mode. The utility will begin automatically. It will not overwrite your ROM.
Notes: I've patched the utility to bypass the security checks.
Analysis of hermimg.nbh reveals that there is significant functionality available besides just simlocking, including IMEI changing and CID locking/unlocking as well as numerous diagnostic routines. It seems that the config.dat file contains the data that determines which function to run. I've been working on reverse engineering the format, but progress has been slow. This is why I am releasing this utility. I invite the more technical members of the forums to take a stab at this and see if we cant unlock this functionality.
EDIT: Attached is now a patched version of the Athena simlock utility. I have no Athena to test this on, so would someone please confirm or deny that this works?

kaiser?
So all i have to do is use this program to lock sim? then send back to ATT?
I wouldn't be so sure if any of this works WITHOUT first patching the radio ROM to a seclevel 0 one
Also the SPL should be patched to skip signature checking in NBH files.
I just got a brand new Hermes with stock everything. I'll verify this all again to see what happens.
@olipro: this works with normal stock radios. below is a photo of the result with radio 1.51.
@pof: I believe the first time i used this was on a stock SPL and i had no problem. i'd like someone else to confirm this since i used spl 1.01 during my last test.

Hi,
I have a HTC 8525. upgraded to WM6
I did exactly as you posted.
during the boot load it showed 'loading' and that was it.. I didn't get the screen as you showed.
I tried the SIM lock code that came up on the file on the 'IMEI_MAPPING_TBL.txt' but it didn't work,
since my try count is on 7, I'm starting to get afraid of locking it forever.
any suggestion?
i'm using windows vista (does it make any diference?)
thanks.

You WANT the wing startup?
I have the HTC startup on my Wing. lol
Or are you just wanting to have an animated startup animation?
take this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360327
From my understanding, we couldn't change this without recooking the rom. I was experimenting with this once, and nothing worked. If I'm wrong, please please please someone let me know how to do this.
WHICH splash screen? Technically, there's three. I can show you how to change all three.
EDIT: The first one requires you to flash your device with a custom splash screen. The second and third I've only done while cooking but I don't see why they wouldn't work as cab files or done manually...
ok, well, I just made a cab to change the first bootscreen.
3? I know of 2...
Do you know what the registry entry and the file name is for the second bootscreen? In the original Tmo rom, it was green Windows with a circle.
There's also the PrimarySplash.nb bootscreen.... I'm not home right now and I don't know if that information survived my PC "issue"... we'll see.
I think I was not clear enough.
I have tried installing Animated startup on my P4350 but it just not smooth, there is kind of a jump when the animation start.
I replaced the the animation dll's with the one's from a elf rom and it works very smooth but then you loose the vibration.
Has any one experience this before.
The rom I am using is based on the original herald rom not the wing rom.
I also tried the Wing rom and replaced the TMO_Startup animation with another Gif file and it also jumps at the begining with a screen flicker.
The Startup animation I want to use is the elf animation.
Please advice
Best Regards
It would be nice if someone figured this out. I think we've all been under the impression this wouldn't work at all, but maybe it will work.

It works very nice and smooth with the elf DLL's but somehow the vibration does not work

I've always wanted to just get rid of the first T-Mobile Splash Screen but I don't think its possible. Stock Rom.

It is possible
-To stop the Startup Animation Delete the following registry key and it will not work anymore.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
- The Attachment is HTC Splash Screen which I made from Elf Startup Animation in NBH format and RUU Flasher included

Post the files you are refering to so I can take a look at them, please. Thank you.
Its not the Startup Animation that I want to eliminate. Its the first splash screen -- the T-Mobile screen I want to get rid of. Its not possible.

Here you are, The RvBCrS HTC Startup Animation.cab I found somewhere here in the forum.
It works without Sound but have to delete the Flags Key in HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\HtcInit.
Also there is a Jump at the begining of the startup animation.
When I replace the StartupAnimationEngine.dll with the Elf Dll, The Animation is very smooth but you loose the vibration.
Same issue if I replace all the DLL's with Elf Dll's, Also loose vibration but animation is very smooth and still no sound also.
Best Regards

Ever since I got my TMO Wing 2 weeks ago I've been trying to replace the 1st boot splash with a custom graphic. I've managed to get it working with other people's ROMs (ie. Open Touch & Touch-IT) so I know it is somehow possible.
The Spash Only rom for HTC above has also worked successfully. However, I still cannot get a custom graphic converted to nbh and flashed to the device no matter what I try.
Can you provide the steps on how you made the ROM for the HTC Spash from the ELF Startup? or let me know what I need to do to my BMP to get it into a valid NBH?
Everything I do gives a ERROR [328] : INVALID COMMAND at the end of the flash.
I have a TMO Wing
IPL - 4.10.0002
SPL - 4.10.0000
I use HERALD-USPL-beta3 and it works for all ROMs but my own.
I've tried Splash Screen Changer and nb_image_converter.exe with HTC_ROM_Tool to no avail.
Custom BMP Properties:
width 240
height 320
resolution 71 dpi
Bit Depth 24
