Remove Boot Screen Branding

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!

From the thread for your rom:
INFO / CURRENT ISSUES & SOLUTIONS ***PLS READ THIS***
*This ROM require at least radio v2.07. v208 is highly recommended.

There would be a radio on your device from your original rom, it's probably just the wrong version. As stated, for that rom you require either the 2.07.50 or 2.08.50 radio. Follow the link in my signature and flash the radio exactly the same way as you flashed your rom.

OKay i got all that but i cant flash it because the phone is stuck at the white htc boot screen so the customRuu doesnt recognize it.
what do i do now? im stumped.. is there a manual hard reset key press or something?
EDIT: I figured out how to get into bootloader and im now putting the right radio on it, lets see if this works

Just pot your phone in bootloader mode by reseting while presing volume down button and after that flash the proper radio.

Putting the radio wich you suggested on it didnt work, it still hangs at the white htc screen... should i flash another rom? i really dont wanna kill my HD2 haha

any ideas? i apologize for bumping but im really not at home in the flashing world and im fearing that my phone really wont start

I sugest you to flash back your original rom by sd card and restart the whole proces once again by flashing the radio first and after that the desired rom.
By flashing the original rom trought sd card metod you will have to reinstall HSPL.

Me

okay thanks will try that !

One more advice...before flashing anything read as much as you can and ask as many questions there will be someone to answer no mather how silly( no offence) is the question.

Yeah i know, well i flashed some roms on my old topaz and stuff but i really should have looked more into this, your right. sorry
EDIT: Just flashed a Dutch rom and it works again, thanks guys!

SPL?

I'm trying to fix a co-workers' HTC HD2. It *had* WM 6.5 but she somehow installed SPL 3.03 (?) and I have been unable to make ANY progress with flashing a ROM onto her phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Note: I'm only familiar with working on my Captivate, the XDA community has been good to me in the past, hoping some of you can spare a few minutes to help me help out my co-worker.

Download HSPL4, boot into bootloader (tricolor) and flash HSPL 2.08.
BTW: Wrong forum!

@syngamer if its Android that you want to put on the phone then read the requirements in the above thread before you start. As you have SPL 3.0.3 on the phone you will want to follow *THIS* guide to install HardSPL and select HSPL 2.0.8 from the list or Magldr wont run properly. Also boot into the bootloader and make sure you have a new radio as that can cause problems too.
MArk.

Thanks guys, but no matter which guide/tutorial I try I keep running into the ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR

you should give more detail, especially things like the full filename of the file you are using that gives the error, and details of what you are doing to perform the flash, and details of what you think you mean by ''It *had* WM 6.5 but she somehow installed SPL 3.03 '' since thats a normal spl?
ALso, is it a normal hd2, or is it a tmous hd2? (tmous is t mobile US and has green send key red end key, and its very important to know which it is)

It's a T-mobile HD2. She started trying to flash Android on it and got cLK 1.14 but couldn't progress from there.

well i cant really help with the next steps, cos ive never used cLK, its a bit too advanced for me, give me teh simplicity of magldr any day.
You didnt explain the errors tho, , i mean, if you have cLK installed, you should be using fastboot to flash cwm next i think, whereas teh error you describe sounds like you are trying to flash with teh phone in bootloader(stripey screen)?

Well, I've got Magldr installed, CWM is now on there and from there I'm set. Currently flashing (trying to at least) NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.2a_NAND_(Android-2.3.7).
EDIT: holy ****, that was fast. I currently see an HTC logo...wondering if first boot takes awhile like most...and disregard. It's now loading. Success! Thanks for the links/guides everyone! This is why XDA is the best.

Congrats on your restoration f the HD2!
BTW she can dual Boot the HD2 if she likes

[Q] whats the easiest way to install android

Hi, I have the hdc hd2 with spl 3.03.0000 xe, and radio 2.15.161.3.
You maybe able to tell by that that im new to this, but want to install android as i dont like windows 6.5. I've managed to install a stock windows rom with the information i've learned here. But now i need help.
I want to install froyo or gingerbread as ive used these before on other phones.
So what is the easies way to do it and wheres the best place to get the rom from.
Please try to make it as simple as possible, Thanks.

It depends, do you want NAND Android or are you happy with running SD Android? Basically, if you want SD Android it couldn't be simpler. Just go to the SD section, download a build, place the Android folder on the root of your SD card and hit CLRCAD then HARET in the file manager. If you want NAND Android it's still pretty straightforward. Follow this guide and you should be fine. If you find even this guide too complex try using the NAND Toolkit. If you can't use that, don't bother flashing NAND Android and stick with SD Android.

Have you tried using Google? <<< I'm flaming.
Why didn't you look for the Newbies' Guides that are floating everywhere? they will guide you from the moment you pay for your phone till you are welcomed with Android's welcome screen. <<<I'm trying to be nice.

Muahahahaha, I win Also, you linked an outdated guide for the DFT Stock desire build, so I double win (if that's possible)

Thanks guys after more reading and searching i think i should go the nand root.
This means i need hspl on it it first and i can only install this if i have spl 1.42.0000. Mine says spl-3.03.0000. It also says installing a stock rom will roll this back. I've installed stock win rom yesterday and it didnt touch the spl.
Can i still install hspl with this or do i need it?
Is there a list of available roms on this site?

*sigh* did you read Marvlesz's post about Google? Download HSPL4 and use it to flash HSPL 2.08, no ROM downgrade is necessary. Basically after you've done that it's as simple as flashing MAGLDR, CWM and your ROM (and trust me, all of that won't take you more than 30 minutes at the very most).

Check your device manager did u see mobile device? and is it working?
if not try to Reinstall the WMDC driver?
I used to have this problem too after i reinstall the driver the phone will be detected again.
However if u still can't connect the phone to your PC (it's driver problem, i think).
Try task 29 Change to cLK for me it fixed everything. (using HD2 toolkit is easiest way)

Sorry for being a bit dumb here but stuck again.
I've downloaded 4 roms-
danik supersonic v1.0 lite

boxmax.s3.5v8.5.magldr
boxmax.s3.5.v8.5.haret.sd
unzipping the first 3 provide no DAF.exe or install.exe, so stuck there.
unzipped the last and copied to sd card and the phone just stalls on the htc quietly brilliant screen.
What can i try next?

Which guide did you follow? The one I posted or the one which Marvlesz posted? Use the one I posted because the one he posted is outdated. You install CWM then flash the ROM as a zip file. I really have no clue how somebody can find it so difficult to follow simple instructions: DOWNLOAD A NAND ROM, NOT AN SD ROM. You've said that you want a NAND ROM and then you try to flash an SD build? At least have some common sense, please. Unless you have a problem which cannot be solved by reading in the future I refuse to give any more help, because it appears to be hopeless

thanks again i've learned alot more tonight, got my first flash done just waiting for it to load. Last question before i leave you alone Is there a way to tell the difference between which mods are CWM and which wont work.

Basically all ROMs use CWM, other than the DFT Stock Desire ROM. For everything else, just download the MAGLDR version of the ROM if there is one (many ROMs automate MAGLDR/cLK), change your system partition to the required size and flash the ROM.

hi tried downloading 6 roms now
DFT_LEO_NAND_Android
BoxmaX.S3.5.v.8.5.Magldr
For.user.Nand.v8.x
BoxmaX.S3.5.v.8.5.Haret.SD
BoxmaX.S3.5.v.8.0.Magldr
DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF
Android_2.3.5_Danik_Supersonic_v.1.0_Lite
Put all of them on the memory card and it only recogognises the Danik one when i go to choose zip from sd card.
When i try to load that it goes through ok till i reboot then it freezes at the HTC screen.

(btw, post reported)

I've said thanks before for his help. Ive asked for the difference between mods and how to differenciate them, i cant work out out why only 1 out of 6 is recognised. And i've downloaded the magdlr versions as suggested.
Then he calls me f*cking stupid. Think i have every right to be p*ssed off.

What do you mean by "Difference between mods" ? All mods come in a .zip package that is flashed in CWM.
When you download something (any mod, rom, kernel or anything) off the NAND section (this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=928 ) it is going to be a flashable CWM. (Unless noted)
But when you download something off the SD section ( this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735) it is going to be ... well ... to be put on the sd without flashing.
Is this what you are asking for ?

Sorry, but I have every right to call you stupid too. I even posted DOWNLOAD A NAND ROM, and you go on and download ROMs from the SD section? It's frankly pathetic if you can't do that little reading, and if I were you I wouldn't bother flashing anything in the future. You're lucky you have a pretty much unbrickable device, because if you didn't I'm sure you would be sitting right there with a useless piece of hardware right now.

Thanks Marvlesz, thats got me sorted, the problem was when he said just download the "MAGLDR version", i thought anything with that in the name was the correct one. I'm not here to get into a slanging game so i'll just leave it that.
Thanks again.

You need to disable hspl and you have to flash an original distribution rom which includes the boot loader.

If you install an official ROM from SD card, not USB, the SPL will go back to the original.
The only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.

Why do u ask in HD2 help and troubleshooting? It's so hard to install WP on HTC HD2. I hate this. Hope u can find answer in WP topic:laugh:
