anyone know how to get this to work on a Cingular 8125 flashed to the latest rom ( i believe 2.25)? i have tried all of the accessible ways already, using aWizard, using button's script, this mda changer, none of them work for me. i always get an IT disk error or just plain nothing followed by a soft reset and that's it. i'm really going crazy here!!! i want to be able to figure this out, why? because i own a cingular phone but i'm a tmobile customer. my idea? just replace the splash screen with my own business card image or something, neither tmobile nor cingular:cool:

Works on HP hw6500 series!!

First off, I wanna say thanks MadKat for the great tools! After finding some information in a thread on the Mobility Today forums indicating that this process works for the HP hw6500 series (HTC Beetles) devices, I tried it on my hw6515c, and it worked! The device has a square screen but the process still worked without a hitch!! :D

Only thing that bugs me now is that a progress bar shows up about 10 seconds into the boot process. Before, with my HP splash screen, this progress bar actually worked (showed the boot progress). Now, it just shows up and sits blank until the Today screen shows up. Does anyone have any idea how I could either fix this progress bar or remove it altogether?

Has anyone had any issues with this tool? When I tried to use this tool to make my .nb files, it would make them, and all would seem well, but then I would apply the files to the device, and the splash screen would just be solid white (no matter which files I used). I did not see any problems like this when using the .exe image converter.

Thanks!

Progress Bar disable :)

I found a way to disable the progress bar on my hw6515 from showing up. If you are interested, see here:

http://mobilitytoday.com/forum/showthread.php?p=73075#post73075

I still have not found a way to make the progress bar work after changing the splash screen.

I am not sure if any of the other devices that can use this splash screen change method have progress bars, but I figured I would add the info here since I asked about it here.

It's possible that on one else will replay, as the answer is on the first page of the thread, post #7 to be specific.

Take this as a gentle hint to read and search the thread before posting any questions from here on.

Yes, it will work with a XDA IIs, but only if you are running the original WM2003, this will not work on the unofficial WM5, 6, or 6.1

Were do I find the Original Splash screens

Would like to know were to extract the original splash screens before performoing a rom update. (german to English)

have the feeling that they are on extended rom, in a cabfile called ossplash1 ossplash2.

So can one extract those form rom before an update then reset them with the tools in this tread?

If so how?

To the author... Thanks for the tip. Now I have Elisha Cuthbert, I just can't stop reseting it now... :)

BTW, it works for the I-mate Jam but one thing I did notice was the the size of the file (.nb) is large from the original image (.jpeg) I took. How will this effect the system. Is there a possibility of having a slow reset session?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] :
I don't get it. You have Elisha Cuthbert as your splash screen and want the reset to be quick, geeeez??? :wink:

You have actually found the solution for slow soft resets.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Mvmajorem:
Sorry for the confusion. I mean basically, the image I have is only 20 or so kilobytes. However, when I converted it to Splash1 and Splash2 NB files, they accumulated to 300KB. Now is this normal?

Will the size affect how the system will boot up in a soft reset? Since the file is that large or is this standard?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] andresp:
I was joking. :D

OTOH, I don't think it makes any difference in boot time. Check the original splashx.nb files for different versions of the Blueangel here:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/Exteneded_ROM_Kitchen_1_22/Splash

The sizes varyfrom 150kb per file to 256kb. I have tried them with no noticeable difference.

Akira or madkat might know why the splash files differ in size. AFAIK a 240x320 24bit image takes about 225kb while a jpg size will vary depending the image itself. Maybe there is some compression going on.

The pictures need to be extracted from the exteneded rom cab files.

This is done in the Rom Kitchen and posted to

The problem with the 02 is the one that was looked at had over 20 carriers in it all asian.

The next problem is that the Extenededroms have all gone on the ftp server.

What we need is a UK Exteneded rom than we can look for them.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
You have a problem with splash1.

First you see splash1 then splash2, so in your case you never changed splash1 as it defaults to qtec.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Rick GM:
Still can't get it to work with first boot screen.

This is what I did.

1 Downloaded comdlg32.exe to my PC and ran it (not that I know what it did !)

2 Downloaded nb_image_converter_859.exe to my PC, loaded the picture that I wanted for splash1, saved it on my PC as bmp renamed to splash1.nb

3 Did the same with another image and saved it as splash2.nb

4 Copied both and pasted to windows on my Qtek through explore while synced

5 Downloaded MDA3_bootimage_changer2.CAB to my PC, copied it to My Device on Qtek and ran it.

6 Soft reset and initial boot screen is still Qtek, followed by my splash1 image! (not splash2)

7 Then deleted splash1 and 2 which had copied to 'My Device'. splash1 and splash2 remain in Windows.

I have followed this procedure twice but no joy.

Incidentally, my Today screen bodges up until I reset the today wallpaper image and reboot again.

Any ideas MDAUSER ?
