Does anyone know how to remove the boot up screen branding? I have installed custom roms, radio etc but it just will not go.
I searched the forum but cannot figure out what to search for as its not the welcome screen or start screen
Hi.
Chefs dont usually cook in a boot screen or radio when thay cook a rom so thats why it wont change. what u can do is flash an official rom from HTC and then it will change to a HTC boot screen. Or alternativley, have a look here....its awsome!!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625911
Let me know how u get on!
well i know i will have something to do tonight, it looks fairly straight forward but also tempted to wait until the chefs release a new batch as it took me over an hour loading everything back and configuring.
thanks for the link

Use SPB Backup to backup up everything. it will also backup all your settings including ringtones, alarms etc.... It wont take long. i do it all the time as i am constantly flashing(Roms) to find the best rom for me!
I ahve the same problem, the boot screens in the links happen after the boot screen that I want to replace, mine has a pink circle that I'd rather replace with something else, any ideas?
you can use HD2 Tweak to turn off that initial white HTC screen

In that link, only part A is the actual splash screen (the nbh file, you flash it like a rom) that wont be overwritten by a custom rom.
B C and D are follow on screens that you instal via a cab and will be lost after a flash/hard reset.

As above, just flash an official rom. Im saying that coz i onced flashed a Rom which i faild to notice that it was a test rom, so the boot screen had a message saying that it was only for testing not for sale!. I flashed back to custom roms but it wouldn go.i looked for help but couldnt find anything until a friend over at the Topaz forum told me that it was something that chefs dont really cook into their roms. so i thought why not try an official rom? did just that and got back the HTC bootscreen. OK, enough of the sob story!

thanks m8, will give it a try tomorrow
I will return my HD2 to Tmobile (USA). I flashed a custom splash screen rom and now need a original splash rom change it back, or anybody know how to delete it and it will work too ( I still have 1st screen and animation from tmobile when it boot, but there is a extra picture between them). I did a lot of research, but I couldn’t find it. Could anybody here help me out?

I covered this in a thread I wrote for the TP2, as these devices are the same resolution, the steps are almost the same.
Check out the "Step 6" section.

There are a few questions before you proceed.
1. Did you HSPL your phone? If so you need to take that off (for turn in) and flash the original ROM from your SD card (this will remove HSPL).
Please see this thread for how to do this> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653
The 2.10, (not 2.10.1), 2.11, 2.13 all have the required splash screens included in the ROM's for Tmo US
2. If you did not HSPL your phone then see the above post. Most of the SPL screens are generic for HTC.
Yes, I did HSPL and tried 2.10, 2.13, but it couldn't remove 2nd screen (extra one).
Thank you, Dave. I read your artical and it is helpful. It is complicate for me to do it by myself. Do you have an easy way?

Not to doubt you but the 2.13 Stock ROM overwrote all these screens... I had custom ones on my cooked ROM's and it cleared them out.
But I'll throw you a bone ;-) go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625911
down near the bottom of the first post is the originals.
I installed LEOsplash_Stock.zip, it replaced stick together screen. However, the extra splash is still there. After I flashed 2.13, 1st from Tmobile came back, other thing wouldn't change. What else I can do for it? Thank you. By the way, I couldn't install HTC HD2 BIOS Boot Splash Screen DEFAULT.cab.

The first boot screen has to be flashed... The archive should have a ruu_signed.nbh file inside. Here is what I use: - Remove the TMobile "pink" Spash screen, post #5.
In fact, I already returned my phone to tmobile and do have chance to try your method. Thank you for your input.
Hi all, i need to send my lovely hd2 for a SAV...but as many, i changed lot of things on it!
I searched every where but couldn't managed to find a stock splash image.the second one that comes up with all the writtings at the bottom.Who can help me?
thanks a lot
the stock roms generally don't have a second splash, they just show the first for twice as long and the writing appears half way through.
if you (like i did) flashed a second boot screen, or you used a cooked rom that includes a second splash, you now no doubt have found that flashing a stock rom hasn't removed it. you will need to make a duplicate of the stock first splash and flash it as a second. i had to do this with my o2 hd2.
some info on how in my sig (the watermarking link)
Okayyyy, thanks a lot! i was starting to feel lost as i reflashed so many time without making it!lol!
Now my prescious will be able to get it sensivity back....
By the way, maybe you know about this:
I used a froyo desire hd android rom and since then i'm unable to use the touch screen. Thehardware buttons works awsomly(even better than they ever did) but the ttouch screen just keep taunting me like: no no no,i won't anwser!it's kind of frustrating!
Do you know about this?
Thanks again guy, you're just incredible
sorry, i know nothing about android.
ok no prob...I'll just send it back and see how it goes.
but first, i don't understand how watermarking can help me duplacating the first splash book?can you explain please?the thing is that i don't know how to duplicate the first splash...
you need to find the splashscreen as a bitmap .bmp file (there are several threads with various stock images, or you can probably make one, i did for my o2 return) and use the method in my watermarking thread to flash that image to both the first and second splash locations. this will then look like one splash when you send it for repair, so they wont notice anything. (Theyre really only interested in the spl anyway, you can probably get away with just using a standard htc splash even on a branded phone)

Depending on what boot screen you need, I might be able to help you out. If you need the plain white HTC splash (found on WWE devices) you can download the second-level splash from my sig.

I have the stock white HTC splash screen (level 2) in my sig (just to clarify, it's just a white screen with a green "HTC" logo in the middle). It's the second attachment here.
What Android build do you have? List your Android build, your radio, and your ROM.
Yep, this is the one i was looking for. thanks
As i said i return to a stock rom(sd card flashing), so i don't have any android rom anymore.nor coustom windows phone.
i used
hc desire hd rom from meedjay 3.3a
windows rom: ozdroid 1.11
radio: 2.12.50.02.2(not quite sure)
it functionned flawlessly 'till i rebooted.Then the touchscreen became totally unresponsive.Now i can only use the hardware buttons...(sounds really bad.doesn't it?) i have to mentionned that i already changed the screen for aproximately the same issue(the screen used to become partly unresponsive for a while...)

No problem.
I'm a little confused. Does your screen respond only in WM? Or does your screen not respond in both WM and Android?
If your screen only responds in WM (but does not respond in Android), then it can't be a hardware problem -- it's something wrong with your Android build. If this is the case, try a different Android build; try one that is not from the Desire HD port because that port still has a lot of bugs. If you want, you can try the phireMOD ROM (based on the Sprint HTC EVO4G) that is working for me.
Nope,
unfrotunately the screen is totaly unresponsive in both roms....the only things i can use are the hardware buttons....So i guess it's an hardware issue,but i wanted an experienced opinion before sending it....
What confused me is the fact that the phone didn't fell.i only changed the android rom( i'm kind of flashaholic!lol) then i rebooted and since the screen became unresponsive, even after many hardreset.I can't enter my pin code anymore,neither can i enter windows mobile, or android.
Now i'll just have to reflash the stock spashscreen and send my prescious for a little lifting,right?lol

Maybe your phone just wanted to fail when you did a hard reset.
Yeah, you'll have to send it back. Just flash the stock splash screen (level 2), make sure everything (splash screen, radio, etc.) is back to stock(!!!), then flash the stock SPL.

Yeah, he wanted a brake,as i tortured him so much during the past 6 months!
Thanks a lot man, it's good to know i can count on all of you experienced guys!

Last question: can i flash the latest official rom?or will it stop me if i want to reinstall HSPL when i get the phone back?

No, I'm not an expert. I just learned a little bit of this stuff over time after reading on XDA.
You can probably flash official ROMs because they don't need HSPL. Get it from HTC's website so in the event your phone gets bricked, you could say you got the ROM from HTC, not XDA.
a similar question has probably already been posted
i have a tmobile hd2
i successfully hardspl to it
i flashed the energy reference rom
then i realized that i needed to use the task29 tool before
i flash any rom... did that, hard resetted, and then tried flashing again (energy referecne) using the sd card method
and i just get stuck on the "NRG" screen
tried the other custom ruu method getting the same results
using the radio 2.07.50.27
i put back the regular spl to flash a stock rom but still no luck
i know the phone isn't bricked i can get to boot loader, hard reset
any help would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance!
Thanks!

ok as from my knowledge you dont necessarily need to do task29 if its ur first time flashing (cuz i didnt and i got very good results) so i think u messed up in tht part.. but its ok, now you prolly want to first --> do a task29 again... second ---> get the nrg rom and flash it.... third -->get a radio of 2.10 or higher and flash tht....and just to play safe flash everything using custom ruu (i got better results using them...just saying)... also when u do each flash and its suspenseful dont boot up the phone, just take out the battery and back into bootloader.
hope this helps... report back lol
^thanks man
Okay so heres how it goes, my phone is def not bricked
custom ruu has only worked once for me
now whenever i try to use it it always gets stuck at 8%
i found that if i flash it at night and hard reset. wait til morning and turn on the phone
then it loads past the nrg screen and into the OS.
i'm currently trying to get it back to stock and i downloaded the tmobile update
but it doesnt seem to work, it also keeps stopping at 8%
i disable the anti virus stuff and i plug it in to the back of my computer
sounds like a defect
sorry to bust your bubble bro but it sounds like you got a classic case of a defective leo, i too did the same steps you did and it turns out my main board wasn't any good and the phone kept overheating, turns out when flashing custom roms they tend to put more pressure on the snapdragon then a regular stock t mobile rom. i know this sounds crazy but i believe it to be true, so with that said you got two options, one get back to t mobile customer care and get a replacement. or do what i did and find a repair shop and let them know that your leo either needs a new mainbaord or a new heatskin like mines did, it cost me 80 dollars which wasnt bad since my leo was a gift and i couldnt give it back to t mobile... hope that helps in some way
p.s. sorry for the edit but if you cant do either of those of what i suggested, try this get yourself a nice icepack nthe size of your phone and mount the leo on top of it whenever your using it, so that sucker wont overheat. once again i hope i helped
Just got a new phone, worked fine, put in my sim and sd, all was working perfect, then I went to music selection and it saw my songs on my sd card, i started playing one, the phone froze and just played the last note like its stuck on it, all buttons would not work.
I took off the battery put it back on now when i power up it just sits on the white and purple screen that says " stick together" the tmoblie logo, and wont move from there.
Removed battery a few times same thing, pressed the little hard boot button same thing.
Any advice?
thank you in advance.
The "little button" is the same as pulling the battery.....a soft reset.
You should try a hard reset, and failing that a fresh flash.

it will set the phone to factory settings.
Sounds like you're using stock. Stock never boded well with me either, so maybe you should try a custom rom. Search on the how to's, you'll learn something.

Been using the stock ROM on my old phone for a while never had any one of the many problems that ppl have listed on this forum, but I cracked the screen and got a new one, and just ran into that problem.
Took the battery off and let it sit for a few, put it back in and now it loads and works, just odd, how that happen, haven't put my card back in yet but well test again hopefully it wont do it again.
don't mean to hijack but im facing the same problem
but mine is a world wide hd2. it freezes on the HTC screen
when i try flashing a rom from the bootloader (using RUU), it always gives me a image corrupted error message.
i also can't flash a new radio. error 00018003 occurs when trying to flash a new radio.
currently i have ENERGY rom loaded into it but won't start. stuck on the NRG loading screen

Have you had your HD2 flashed with HSPL?
K so its happening more and more now, some times it gets to the Launching HTC Sense part of the boot and then shuts off and tries to reboot.
Any one seen this before or know a fix?
Or just doomed?

the original HD2 came with defected sdcards so if your using the one it came with then that's why it might freeze...
custom roms are better at using the phones resources... just cuz the old one worked fine with stock doesn't mean this one would

No using a diff 16 gig sd card, and even when i take it out it still does it,
The problem with the custom roms, I dont like how most of them look and dont want to spend all the time installing diff ones to see if I like it or not, dont have the knowledge or the time for it.
I am fine with the standard HTC sense, just want to figure out why this one keeps crashing on load, what the conflict is.

maybe u can download the TMobile HD2 rom from their website. you need to put in your IMEI to download. after that, from what i did with my tmous before, was enter bootloader then run the utility and it should work perfectly.
if it still doesn't boot up then im suspecting a hardware issue?

Bricked is when you flash the wrong radio, like I did, and your power button will not work. Phone will not power up at all.
