I tried flashing my own splash a while back and kept getting a blank white image as a splash. I created an image in photoshop, and saved it as a 24 bit bitmap. So far so good. Then I opened the bmp in nb_image_converter and converted it to a .nb file. I then opened up htcrt, and chose kaiser from the device drop-down. Leaving all fields (model ID, Country ID, version etc.) at their default values, I load the .nb file into the splash box and build the Ruu_Signed.nbh, choosing to pad the file with 0's. Everything seems to go well, but when I boot the phone, blank whiteness. Anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions? Thanks, Cheers.

6. Pack the resulting splash.nb into a NBH file using htc rom tool.

7. Flash your cusotm NBH using CustomRUU.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] :
I've been trying to figure out if this process will flash the whole ROM or just change the splash screen.

I've probably spent 3 days setting up my device after getting a new ROM and I don't want to go through that all over again (although I *really* want a custom splash screen!)

Edit: I have found in the CustomRUU thread (step 7 of this process) that this will not affect the whole ROM, just the splash screen - might be a good calming tip to add to the first post since it's so fundamental and fewer people would be scared to do it. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Alemaker:
I've been trying all day to do the same thing. I copied the Vista start-up sound directly from my pc, and that works, but the gif I have been using, a Vista orb, just goes to quick and then the screen is just white until my welcomehead.96 file comes up. Frustrating as heck,

Any help?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] :
You can find instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1722152&postcount=27

The WAVFile key should be added as a string so you can specify the path to your startup sound.

The Volumn key can have any value - start with 50 to see if that is loud enough for you, then you can increase or decrease.

Cannot use htcrt.exe

Everytime i run htcrt.exe i'm getting an error stating "there was a problem getting updated devices file (may be with your internet connection). Do you want to recheck update automatically within next start of program "Yes" or shedule it after 5 days "No"

I don't know what I'm doing wrong..I'm stuck at this final step of coverting my .nb file to .hnb so I can flash it.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

P.S. I tried with 2 different computer it's the same thing. Another thing I noticed I could only access the internet with my tilt with only one computer and not the other using MS activesyn. Very strange.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
You don't need to update. DarkSimpson was kinda p'od when he didn't get any responses to device compatibility in January, so it may be that he took down the Internet updates portion. The tool works fine w/o Internet updates.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vastelectron:
My problem persist

Thanks for the quick respond Alex. But my main problem is that I can't use it to build an .nbh file

When I click on ROM builder I get "there is no devices to build ROM for exists in configuration file"

Apparently there's no config file in the folder, only "htcrt.exe" by itself. Then in the same tab I cannot pick anything from the "device drop down list" like it's grayed out and all other fields are blank..

Anyone has a working version that you've used that works with the at&t tilt?

I'm using dutty 6.1 ROM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Use the one included in the kaiserkitchen, it's found in the tools\ directory.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vastelectron:
Thanks Alex

It worked now. I was able to use that one instead.

Thanks.

Only thing I still don't know how to do is to make the animated splash work. This post is good but I'll do some more reading. So far I'm able to change the first splash and the 3rd screen? "welcomehead.96.png" screen. The animated one suppose to go in between but I'm not sure how to make it work.

I already checked "animated.gif" in /windows and "Startup_sounds.wav" in /windows and settings in registry are correct. Well it's not a problem I'll try some more.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
It all depends on if the rom has the drivers for the animation. If not, its a waste of time. From what I have learned and seen, it seems as though the animation drivers have to be cooked in.

I'm asking pof or alltheway or someone who can solve my problem to help me in changing the splashscreen.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the 1st splash.

What I've done is what exactly pof has said in his guide.

I've created an image (BMP 24 bit) in 240x320 format (which is this the file lamp.zip in attachment).

I've converted it with nb_image_converter and obtained a .nb file (lamb.nb.zip), which I have converted into a .nbh file with HTC ROM Tool (lamp.nbh.zip).

At the end, I've flashed this nbh file with CustomRUU without any problem.

What I've obtained is the image I put in attachment, but with a black band at the bottom (in correspodance with the 3 red lines of radio and protocol version).

It's something like this:

What happened? Where was I wrong?

So I decided to flash an image from allthe way, the AT&T splash screen posted at page 5.

What I obtain now is correct!!!!! Whyyy???

So I tried again to flash mine, but now I have another problem. The AT&T logo seems to stay on the background.

I have something like this:

where the blue backgroung is the AT&T splashscreen.

Can u guys tell me where I'm wrong?

I'm pretty sure I'm close to the solution, but I can't see it.

Thank u very much!

See ya
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
Ok, here's what I did. I d/l all of your files and tried to use yours and ended w/ the same result as you. I also noticed that when I tried to create an nbh file using your nb file I got an error stating the nb was undersized. So, what I did was took your bmp file and started over. I also used the splash tool program to make it up to date w/ the latest HTCRT. I alos attached the file I created using your bmp and it flashed flawless for me. PM me if you have any questions. I also included the splash tool in the zip file in case you didn't have it already.

Guys,

Getting same problem as xmoo when trying to flash. I have used the KaiserCustomRUU from the Kitchen/Tools

Have followed everything to the letter.

Thanks in advance

Thanks p1tater

Ok, thanks for that p1tater. Now a little unsure about next step as I only want to change the splash. I have created splash.nbh in the same folder as the RUU. When I come to update it tells me I have Schaps and it will be updated to 1.00.000.0 which was the version number of the htcrt program. Do I click next ??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
ok, first in the htcrt.

1. go to rom builder tab

2. under device, choose kaiser

3. at the right, under the splash option, click ... and locate the nb file u created.

4. click build.

then this will create the nbh file you need. once u locate the nbh file it creates, place it in the same folder as the KaiserCustomRUU.exe file and place the new nbh file in the same folder as the KaiserCustomRUU.exe. then flash away.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] j1ngles:

Rename any animated gif to "animated.gif"(no quotes). sized to 240wx320h or 320x320(if you ever boot landscape) and drop it into the windows folder with total comander or resco. Allow overwrite.

soft reset

mine is orange TYTN II,how can i remove the FIRST orange splash screen,when turn on,it will show the orange splash screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Edvard_Greig:
Is there anyway to just delete the first splash screen, or can it only be replaced? I flashed the TNT ROM, and then Dutty's (with Hard Resets after each), and now have the following:

1st Splash: TNT

2nd Animated: HTC

3rd Splash: Dutty

I'd be happy just deleting the 1st splash if possible, but it looks like most of what's been mentioned is only for replacing it....if it could be deleted would that improve boot time?

I'm guessing the 'workaround' would be to use the instructions in here and just create a solid black 320x240 image?

Thanks!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jasthom69:
Instructions for flashing custom splash screens on HTC Kaiser:

1. Install HardSPL.

2. Create a BMP file in paint, size must be 240x320, save it as BMP 24bit.

3. Download SplashTool

4. Load your BMP on nb_image_converter (included in SplashTool's zip) and save it as splash.nb

5. Open SplashTool.exe and convert splash.nb to new format.

6. Pack the resulting splash.nb into a NBH file using htc rom tool.

7. Flash your cusotm NBH using CustomRUU - NB this will not affect the whole ROM, just the splash screen.

Enjoy your new splash screen!

I agree with ninodelsol if Pof could change his user guide to read something like the above to calm nerves for all the inexperienced noobs who are flashing their Splash screens for the first time.

I backed out of doing step 7 twice before giving it a go for the first time.

Anyway thanks for Pof posting a great thread

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jasthom69:
I think the only way around this is to use the same BMP image to create the 1st NBH Bootup splash and the second "welcomehead.96.png"

I've done this on my Kaiser which transistions pretty much seemlessly from one to other giving the affect of just one image.

I don't have an animated gif which seems quicker on boot up but not much

Hope this helps

HI, I have my splash.nb file and am trying to run the htc rom tool. When I clcick the L buuton it wants me to select a project file which I do not have?

Is it a case that I have to use the htc rom tool to slice my splash.nb file into an existing .nbh file and then flash my device with it?

So I cannot just change the splash? I have to wipe the entire device?

I have copied the file renamed to .png into my widows folder on the device as mention in this thread and checked it is there which it is and have reset the device but all I get is a black screen then the radio numbers etc, then the htc animated log, then windows 6.1 green screen and lastly my today screen.

Will getting rid of olipof screen over-write new Boot Screen?

I successfully made and installed a new boot screen! Had to run the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS to get the HardSPL installed.

After rebooting with my new boot screen - I did the boot loader just to check and I still have the olipof screen. I understand that I need to reinstall the original ROM to get rid of that but here is my question:

welcomehead.96.png (non-animated htc logo same as above, with Windows Mobile 6.1 on top and green TyTN II at the bottom)

boot sequence:

rom splash (mine is the "BIOS") --->

---> static splash end (welcomehead.96.png)

IMHO it looks great with any black/dark themes ;)

video preview here:

or just the welcomehead file (my contribution):

(all set with Schaps' advanced config, there is no need for KaiserCustomRUU)

(note: on my Kaiser sound volume cannot be kept at default 0 (zero, which is max), because any startup sound is so distorted it sounds more like a loud noise. Changing value to 1 does the trick.)
