How To Change Boot Image - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development

HI guys
i m trying the following method to change boot image in wm6 but no success.
can anybody help me
"""""""""method in some other post"""""""""""
o uses the image convertor you need comdlg32.exe
start the program nb_image_converter_859.exe
edit your pics
save them as
Splash1.nb and Splash2.nb
copy those pics to /windows/
on your device
now copy MDA3_bootimage_changer2.CAB
run it
this will not overwite your copied pictures i hope.
if this one works we are done
reset your device and i hope it will work
Remove splash1 and 2 from your pocket pc root dir
""""""""'its not working on wm6"""""""

and this method does not work on WM5 also, so this is pointless

4 lines color with boot start up
Hi everybody,
After I upgraded to wm5 or wm6, I face with a problem image screen boot up.
the 4 lines color appear when boot creen startup.
Any one here help me?
I try many soft and process but not success.
many thanks.

The 4 color stripes ARE the boot screen in WM5 and WM6.

You mean the bootloader screen.
Basically you need to re-flash an OS ROM to the device. Preferably an unbranded one.

my friend...i don't think so that we have a 3rd splash image...if you disable the password you can't see the "welcome image" (3rd image) my friend but nevertheless still you can change it....
its a "welcomehead.96.png" file from windows folder...320x320 pixel image. the files is hidden, so you have to change the folder option to see the files...use the resco file explorer to copy and replaced the files or you have to include it to the splash image changer cab together with two splash1/2.nb files and must be a hardcoded path...
Big thanks...you giving me a valuable idea to upgrade my splash image installer...again thanks....
the original file
[welcomehead.96.png]
the edited example welcome image
[welcomehead.96a.png]
visit always here... http://buzzdev.net
Yes, you are tooooooooooooooooooo good, may be we can find about it.
Kenny.
I will waiting for your latest version, the orignal one really look like the one when hardware reset the XDA2, so better to change it . Haaaaaa.
:wink: welcome!

Replace Windows Logo image

Please could someone tell me how the windows logo image (that appears after the boot splash image) can be replaced?
Although there are some threads about how to replace the boot splash image (that normally is operator-related) I couldn't find anywhere how to replace the windows logo. This logo is displayed after the boot image slpash for quite a long time (I think it's even longer that the boot image). I hope that this is so simple that everybody knows how to do it, so please help.
thank you!
Yes I want to know too !!
The utility on buzzdev is only for the Universal (qtek9000)
Yes!!!
I really, really, really would like to understand how to do this too...
I already changed the boot image and i skinned the whole windows mobile 5.0 look, incl. the phone dialer tool.
The only thing that is bothering me is when i reset my qtek 9100, right after my very nice boot image (in black) the stupid blue WM5 apears for a while, only to go back to the black look of my today screen.
So any help would be nice.
Thanks all.
Be happy!
Hello,
I hope you mean this.
The file in the windows directory is: welcomehead.96.png
This file is only diplayed when password is enabled.
Make a new image in Photoshop, imagesize is 320x320.
And save it as welcomehead.96.png
Then copy it to your ppc. and from there copy it into windows.
Good luck
This is the one I use
Too easy...
Man... cau u imagine how much time i spend figuring this one out???? If i only knew it would be so easy.
But after a while one does not remember wich procedures one already tried, so i guess i just changed the file as you said and it worked.
Somehow i thought the file was in ROM and could not be overwriten.
... strange thing
stay well all and many tkx.

Yoohoo.. it worked. Moving it with File Explorer to the Windows directory didn't work. Installed the free Total Commander and tried again. And succeeded. Changed the properties tot hidden, readonly and system.

Changing the intro picture

Hi, does anyone know how to change the picture (I have the T-Mobile logo) which appears when turning on the phone? Is it possible to change also the logo of Windows Mobile? Thanks
Change Windows Mobile Startup Screen...
Yes, it is possible. But please do a search before you ask questions. You will find the info here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
and here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296511
For your second request --->
To change the "Windows Mobile" startup screen you got to copy a .png picture file (320*240) into your devices "/Windows" directory, with the name "welcomehead.96.png". I copied with Resco Explorer and got a warning for overwriting a ROM file. Still: This worked! Also with the new WM6 ROMS (in my case XDA live 0.10).
(see: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ#Q21)
Well, in my case I edited a small screen with my name, contact details and picture and used it as flash screen 1&2 and as Windows Mobile startup screen. So that if I ever loose the device everyone will know where to return it. Quite a theft prevention as well, since a hard-reset won´t erase the flash screens.

[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.

got it
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:
Touch Pro Splash Screen Repository and
Touch Pro Steps to change your 1st Splash screen
