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]

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!

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.

Upgrading to 6.5

Hi,
I guess this is one of the top5 most answered questions arround, but i seemed unable to find any useful answer by searching myself and so i guess i should ask before i damage my phone in any way ;0)
Well, what do i have in mind? Ah yes, i wanted to upgrade my ROM to Windows6.5 using Billabongs rom in the rom section (ok, i say ROM one more time just because the previous sentence had so many ROMs in it.. hmpf).
Yet i would like to retain a copy of my original rom just in case that i have to send the phone to the company when it breaks (still have warranty). From what i figured out i need 'only' to dump the 4 Raw files using the 'Dump my phone' package. Currently i am doing this, but i am on Part2 for now about 15 minutes.. filesize not changing.. then as the next step i understood i had to use kaiserkitchen - which seems at first look to be something you have to have a diplom to use it.. wow, what an exciting challange ;0)
Now when that is done i should be able to upload the new rom, right? or did i miss something? Is there maybe a 12-step program i missed somewhere for upgrading roms? Years ago on the prophet it all seemed so easy.....
*edit* in the meantime my files were created. I have two RAW files at hand which i can 'decompress' with viewimgfs - so dumoing seemed to work.. now the question is how to make these RAW things become flashable roms again?
Thanks in advance

Currently I am trying to backup the original ROM too using dumpmyphone. The HardSPL unlocker worked but before I continue to install billabongstaffs ROM. I want to backup the original ROM.
Currently I start up dumpmyphone (downloaded from billabongstaffs post). A dos window opens with the message 'CopyTFFSToFile(0x0, 0x3c0000, Part01.RAW)', then the next one CopyTFFSToFile(0x0, 0x7800000, Part02.raw). I get 2 RAW files (after a long time) one small one (about 4 mb) and one big one (about 128 mb). Then DOS says: push a button to continue. Dos window closes. Is it done now?
*edit*: same question, when needed: how do I install the original rom again?

hey, does anyone know this? Before I update my phone I would like to know how to backup the original may anything go wrong. I tried searching the forums but I cant find a clear explanation.

sorry that I bump this topic but does anyone know this???

What is the rom you have? There are already flashable stock roms here in Rom Development forum. If you have a european or an asian rom for sure you can find them here.
If you have another language rom, then you can use the raw file that you have already dump(the larger is the rom). You can reconstruct it to an nbh flashable file with Ervius Visual kitchen, which have an option to create nbh file from a raw.

HTC Album keeps crashing

Hi guys, I tried searching and did not find any answers so I am hoping someone will be able to help.
A few weeks ago my HD2 (TMo US) was running great with CHT 1.7 and all other sorts of apps from XDA installed. When CHT 1.8 was released I took the leap as I loved v1.7 and thought v1.8 has got to be even better. I was right and all was perfect with the world UNTIL one dreadful day my phone froze when I was flipping through my pics with the Photo tab. No big deal I thought. Did a reset and tried it again to see if it was a fluke. To my dismay it was not and it happened whether I started the HTCAlbum app directly or used the Photo Tab. I thought it could be CHT 1.8 so decided I would wait for CHT 1.8.5 which was going to have all the bugs fixed. I did the ROM update to 2.13 and installed CHT 1.8.5 figuring a clean install would solve the issue. Sadfully that did not help. I did a hard reset again, DID NOT install CHT and Albums kept freezing after a few seconds. Sometimes I was able to get back into Sense but other times I had to reset the phone.
I figured it could not be CHT at this point but may be a SD card access issue. After another hard reset I formatted my SD card as that was where the pictures were stored. After loading the pictures back onto the card, I got the same results. I then moved the pictures from the SD card into main memory and same results. So some searching on the internet led me to a few post on HTCAlbums crashing but no luck in locating a fix. I also tried searching for a HTCAlbum cab file with no success. Just to be clear, nothing happens when accessing the SD card in any other way. I can read/write/browse in any other program as much as I want as fast as I want with the SD card or Device memory. Other pic viewers work flawlessly as well. Only when accessing pics with Albums causes the problem whether on the SD card or Device Memory so I am lead to believe something is corrupt with the HTCAlbums progam/files.
So after this novel I have two questions:
1. Do all the files on the phone get recreated with a hard reset?
2. Does anyone have an Albums cab file they can share? (Chefs please help!)
Suggestions are welcomed

If you hard reset the phone mate it will send it back to when you first got it or flashed a new rom, so will be fresh it will delete all data,contacts, pictures etc on the phone so back up, I think HTC album will be cooked in and not available separately unless you ask in a ROM thread

That is what I thought but even after 4 different hard resets and a TMo ROM upgrade I still have this stupid issue.
I guess it's worth asking in the ROM forum or learn how to load a custom ROM.
Thnx...

I made a post about this very thing last week...
For 3 months my phone worked great Not a single problem, other than my stupid mistakes.
Then out of the blue the HTC photo album just started locking up. After countless hard resets, and reading some of the replies on my post, I thought it might be a bad pic file. I removed all the pics and it still locks up when scrolling through the pics, and sometimes when starting the camera. I'm at a total loss on this one. I hope someone can come up with something.
For now I am just living with it, because I really dont want to take the phone back and take the chance of getting a piece of crap referb that someone ells had even more problems with.

me too.
+1 funny thing is i didn't even know that we had an album viewer until i hit it twice on accident and it came up then proceeded to crash. i found anotheranother place that offered a cab but it wouldn't install so it was no help and now i can't find it again.

I flashed the 2.13 ROM again last night and now the freezing happens ONLY when the Albumsearcher.exe is scanning for images. If use the file explorer to open an image the Albums program will read from the image files no problem and flips through them quite fast from both the Device and the SD card. The moment I start the Albums program or the Photo tab and tries to pull up the thumbnails, I get an error message for either Albumsearcher.exe or HTCAlbum.exe and my SD card is not visible until after a soft reset.
I can't say it is a SD card access issue as it happens only with Albums or more specifically Albumsearcher.exe? What I do not understand is why after the crash the SD is no longer visible on the device?

you my friend
are leading me down a very dark path....lol
I started to read through the HD2 T29 thread and it seems it will solve my problem. This is what a hard reset should do in the first place. I still have some more reading before I take the plunge as I am not clear if I can use the tool without HSPL as my HD2 is all stock and would like to flash the stock 2.13 ROM. I also thought I read somewhere that if you flash a custom ROM you can't go back to stock. Does not seem right but I am heading over to the ROM FAQ threads so I don't screw anything up.
Thanks again bud for showing me the light

no worries mate , but according to my understanding if you install hspl it will avoid you r warranty
also have a custom rom downloded and the suitable radio allready insatalled
let me know if you want any more help il do my best to help you out

I will have to install HSPL and with 9 months left in my warranty period I think I can like without the Albums program. If I have more issues then I may change my mind.
That being said, I will take you up on the RESCO PHOTO offer. When you have the chance can you either post or email me the files? I will PM you my email.

The problem is with the sd card take off all your pics and save them to your computer. The problem is with the pictures sytored on the sd card, it causes crashes of the albums program. I went through 2 new phones,before that i discovers the common problem the same sdcard was used. I got rid of the pics and that fixed the problem.

hi i have attached the manila file with will tell the devise to open up resco insted of htc album, you will have to get resco your self as i cant give it to you according to forum rules sorry
copy the manila to windows directory and overrite exsiting file then soft reset
do this at your own risk , this has been confirmed working by me and other users where i got the file from
always back up the phone before modyfing anything
ps
and also put this the windows folder
you wil have to extract the file out of the zip

Thanks for the files. I found the RESCO app so no sweat. Rules are rules
