I've just upped my IPL/SPL to 3.08, GSM to 2.69.11, and I'm about to try out Faria's WM6 ROM, but I'd like to backup my initial boot screen before I do- I'm not sure if I still have the image located anywhere else and would rather not re-author it!
I've already backed up the welcomehead.96.png file for the second splash screen, but I'm up against a wall trying to pin down how I can back up the inital splash screen! Any and all help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

If you have your original ROM backed up, just use wizard service tools and run the nbf to nb tool. When you run that it will seperate it all out in to its constituent parts. 9d000000-HTC is the first splash screen, 92000000-Splash is the second splash screen and the welcomehead.96.png is actually the third splash screen. I just can't figure out why you would need to back those up.
I wanted to back them up so I'd have them to employ in my new Faria ROM instead of the splash screens included. As I mentioned, I'm not sure that I have the initial splash screen saved anywhere, so instead of reauthoring it, it would have been convenient to have a backup.
However, since I didn't get a reply before flashing (impatience!) the splash screen is gone, anyways. I do have a "myrom" .bin backup from WizBackup, though- any chance I could pull my splash screen out of there to your knowledge?
All you have to do is download the ROM you had on there from your service provider and then use wizard service tools just like I told you how to do in my first post here and you'll be able to extract the first 2 splash screens out of it. Getting the 3rd splash screen out of it is doable, but a lot more complicated and since you said that you already have it backed up I won't go into that anyway.
Here's some AT&T splash screens that I found. I have no idea if they are the ones you had before or even what they look like but you're welcome to try them out and see if you like them or not. Just run the RUU and it will install them for you.
I'm sorry, perhaps the miscommunication here is that I totally customized/modified/created/crafted/digitally graphically enhanced 2 of the 3<?> splash screens the Wizard shows on booting... I'm not looking for the stock Cingular and WM screens. I was looking to back up my CUSTOMIZED splash screens- sorry, thought I had mentioned that... I'll try and pull apart my WizBackup .bin and see if I can dig the initial splash screen I'm looking for out of that, I guess...

oh, I understand. I didn't realize you had done them yourself. Hopefully they're in your wizbackup.bin then. Good luck.

Hi,
I use a Cingular 8125 and I do not see the splash screen with the Windows Mobile logo whenever I soft reset or swtich my phone on. I only see the splash screen with the Cingular logo and the ROM version numbers, after which the phone directly boots into the OS.
Any idea?
Don't fret. You probably have corrupted the image file, but it's not really important to operation. Technically there are three splash screens. Two of them are part of the IPL or SPL (I can't remember which is what), and the last one, the one you're talking about, is actually sitting in the Windows directory (welcomehead.96.png). You can fix this pretty easily, and I think you have at least three options:
Ignore the problem, and just let it boot without the last splash screen.
Do a hard reset. This should repair the file, but at the price of having to configure the phone to your preferences again.
You can replace all of the splash screens with something from this thread, which I think is pretty damn cool. (If you go with this option, don't forget to run HardSPL first. You can always remove the HardSPL after flashing the new splash screens.)

Yes, I know about the three splash screens that you are talking about. However, I can see only one splash screen, with the cingular logo with the IPL/SPL version numbers.
Not that it's a big deal and anyway I can live without the other two.. but I was just curious as to why it's gone missing from mine.
I hate the Win 6.1 crappy splash screen
With my Hermers I used to flash the splash screen with some other pictures
However if I ma not mistaken, as long as there is no Hard SPL for the Rhodium we cant really do that
Is there another method ?
Download Advanced Config Tool 3.3....latest version.

Once you install it...it should be under the HTC Splash screen and Windows Splash Screen.
You will see the files and then you can do what you want with it
Shame on me I have the tool and didnt even checked it !
Thanks a lot (Feeling like a lazy bastard...)
Thanks I didn't know you could do that.
Since we get no love from the touchscreen people, I have modified a few of the spash screens found on here to fit our 320x240 screens.
I have an Ozone and there are 3 different splash screens the phone goes through at boot up:
1. HTC splash
2. Animated VZW splash
3. WinMo slash
Replacing the WinMo splash is easy. Just overwite \Windows\ms_splash.png
I can't find the image for the HTC spash screen though aywhere on the device.
Can somebody shed some light on this one?
i dont have any answers to your question but i do appreciate the splash screens you posted!
I found some answers here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551651
But as usual, only led to more questions.

The green WM6.1 spash is a .nb0 file. The black HTC splashes are ROM parts 0x600 and 0x601 flashed onto the device. You already know ms_splash.png.
Check this out to make your own splashes, but beware, flashing ROM parts incorrectly could brick your phone.

nbimg: HTC splash screen tool
This may be of some use, I have a zip (Splash Screen Changer) that I found around here somewhere, I don't know where, and I haven't tested it. I will search around to see if I can get it again, I think it was by dsixda maybe, but I am not too sure.
thank you, but i cant change it with this sort of tool. i think its a part of the rom, maybe embedded....
It is the screen you will see, before you get into the bootloader, not the windows booting screen.

Then you need to re read the thread. It creates a rom update utility to flash only the splash screen. I did this to get rid of the t-mobile splash screen.

Why is it so important to change the splash screen?
You only see that screen for a few seconds, and only when you reboot the device. Going through the trouble of changing the splash screen doesn't really seem worth it.
