Sorry if this should be in Questions and Answers, but...
I recently flashed a couple of ROM's to my Tilt 2 that introduced a sub or secondary splash screen when the BRGD info appears... now, I can't get rid of the secondary splash on my phone. The stock ATT rom will put back the blue and white ATT splash, but the sub splash still appears when the ROM and RADIO information appear in the lower left of the screen.
I've tried removing the secondary splash from the "offending" ROM(s) using HTC's Rom Editor and reflashing, but no luck. I've also tried flashing a custom splash, but that only replaces the first one.
I have searched for hours through the forums, and read up on creating custom splashes and the Nbh image tool, but my head is spinning and I still have no definitive answer. What I've come to loosely "understand" is that the Tilt 2 does not use a first and second splash screen like some other phones, but the ROM(s) introduced the secondary splash that I can not get rid of now.
Any help is appreciated - not a true problem, just an annoyance. And being an Engineer, it's driving me up the wall just knowing that the stock ROM does not cure the condition.

I'm sorry I'm not the one to actually walk you through a step by step process to reflash the new splash screen..I recently changed mine, but I had help....yeah, the whole nbh thing...sheesh (lol)....anyways, before I flashed the rom I have now, I was running the stock AT&T rom , and when I was using that rom, I was using an animated Windows 7 splash screen, which I happened to actually like a lot...the installation of it was very easy as you it just requires downloading the cabs (I think their were two cab files I had to install...and voila!!...The cabs edited the registries for whatever needed to be done...also, I had to install the Advanced Configurator app...I'll see if I can pull up the links for the splash screen and the configurator apps, each of those links will have better instructions than I can ever give you...and remember, I'm an idiot when it comes to doing things on these devices, and if I figured it out, you, an engineer, should be able to do it blindfolded...drunk, and asleep...

Try this. I too flashed a splash screen on my Tilt 2 that contained a "SubSplash". Once this is done, you will need to create splash screens from that point forward with a "SubSplash" or you will always get that previously flashed SubSplash screen.
I have included instructions on creating a splash ans subsplash that work for me on my Tilt 2.
Try if you wish...
I think I messed up, you are referring to what I think is called the boot screen...the first screen that pps up when you power on the device...what I posted wont change that...listen to wmg316 he knows what he's doing...lol
and please forgive my not helping
Thanks, guys - I appreciate the help. I figured I was in for creating new splash screens now, I thought about extracting the stock splash and using it for both splash and sub.
Heading out of town for the weekend, so I won't get to try anything until Sunday night - I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks, wmg316 - I found some time late tonight and it worked like a charm. I figured flashing a dual custom splash (or the same splash twice) was what I needed to do, just wasn't sure on how to use the NBH utility. Your instructions were very easy to follow and it took no time at all to wipe out the old pesky sub splash.
Thank you very, very much for your assistance!

wmg316 thank you very much, sir! this made my tp2 much more neatly!

Sorry to open a new thread, but I want to ask is there any method to fix this problem apart from using Mitty?
I tried flashing LVSW 3-26 firmware using SPL 1.06 or the 1.1x, both gave me the end results of white screen.
I am newbie to Mitty and worry of bricking my device with Mitty.
Can anyone suggest what I could do to cast the white screen away?
Desperately in need of help.
Thanks
I see by the sorry for a new thread you have read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299644
I am with you. Right now I would go to a different version. The previous LSVW or another build. I am trying the mtty thing but I am running vista and cannot get NBHextract to work.
If you do not want to risk it maybe holding off a day and checking back for an update. These guys are fast. Also like I said go to a different version. I flashed the revious LSVW os only and it worked 3 times in a row perfect
When you say white screen what do you mean?? You get a white screen and the device doesnt boot?? or the device has a white today screen?
people
for black 1.3 i will release two versions
one with SPL and OS (with RUU 3.6)
and
one with only OS using standard RUU (assuming you already have HardSPL)
this will give u an option

The White Screen for me is i can see the HTC Flash screen, but the Windows Mobile screen becomes white without me even seeing it and the Today screen is also white also.
Also, i was wondering if using Hard-SPL might help?
Thanks
nope i am using hard spl and tried it still white screen
Me too....
I also got the white screen of death. lol.
i used the version that was posed on the main page. After the update and initial boot the white screen comes on.
I was able to bypass this after several resets. Then it will start the customisation process. After which it will restart and go to a white today screen with no icons. I do have the task bars at top and bottom but no dialer.
My fix. I went and dl RUU_HER_6.20.100.0_0.00.00.00_XDA_WWE_XBOW_Custom. I installed it and works like it did before.
I will wait till there is a fix for this...
BTW I have a cingular 8525

After hours and sleepless night, and so many flashes i think the NAND in my dopod was hot enough to fry a breaky for me, i've come to the comclusion, i have 100%, no issue success with all ROMS, using 1.01MFG and MTTY flashing each part seperatly. Not one time has a white screen appeared, with ANY rom, and i've tested all the current WM6 roms.
I d/l'd and tried the latest LVSW rom (26/3) and have exactly the same issue when using the packaged RUU to install it. However, when i use MTTY, its perfect every time.
I would suggest the following steps
1. Load into the bootloader mode (HOLD POWER/OK buttons and press soft reset)
2. Flash SPL-1.01MFG onto your device (Read wiki info and file links here)
3. Once flashed, reboot and do step one again to get back into boot mode. You should now see your boot as 1.01MFG
4. Use NBHextract to extract 06_OS.nb file from RUU_signed.nbh file found in downloaded rom package.
5. Load up MTTY, follow steps in the wiki for the 1.01MFG on how to flash OS.nb (OS.nb is the 06_OS.nb file renamed to make it easier)
6. Once flash is complete, the latest rom is installed and you won't have a white screen
7. Now flash Hard SPL v4 onto your devic for safety reasons.
And this fix is EASY to do, 100% works every time.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It worked 100% for me first time.
Just for the record I used ROMbaker to get the 06_os.nb then just rename it to os.nb.
Also if you are not sure and feel nervous about bricking it, then just wait for a proper fix.
Finally I got the white screen a few times and everytime I flashed the previous LSVW os only the device worked perfect. From my reading Olipro may have found the problem haveing to do with bad blocks. Nothing major but I believe they are working on it currently.
If you follow these directions and install 1.01MFG, you can BRICK YOUR DEVICE with ANY mistake!
We're not talking about a brick that can be fixed either. You precious phone will become a paper-weight forever more! Really.
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE N00BS ON HERE SAY; FLASHING 1.01MFG IS **NOT** A RECOMMENDED WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! DO NOT INSTALL 1.01MFG UNLESS YOU ARE OK WITH THE CHANCE THAT YOUR PHONE WILL BE BROKEN FOREVER!!

Just go back to a previous version of WM6.

SPL-1.35.Olipro will be released shortly; this should address the issue of the whitescreen error, all those having problems under 1.30 should no longer encounter it if they were able to flash fine with old SPL's

Just a quick question off the cuff, what was the last(est) version (can you provide a link) that i can flash to now .. (not mucking around seperating stuff etc) that wont give me the white screen issue.
I am currently sitting on LSVW 25/3 1.38.10 radio and 1.13oli
Thanx test

mmm you mean u flashed da original splash screen instead of HTC and then it worked fine?
If you have hard spl (looks like you have) then try flashing from the SD card. (If nothing else has worked - read all the guides/threads)
Just save the nbh as HERMIMG.nbh (make sure you have not created HERMIMG.nbh.nbh) in the root directory of your SD card, and then hold the power and OK buttons on each side of the phone, whilst pushing the stylus in the reset slot.
Hold it in for a mo.
Sometimes take a few goes.
It should come up with a loading grey screen.
It will give details of the nbh it has found (ie mine only said OS), and says something like push the power button to update.
Thank God for Hard spl.
Did this for the first time yesterday after apparently badly cooking a rom. Got stuck on HTC screen not bootloader, but this sorted me out.
Big relief.
ooohh , big relief man that was hectic moments i ended up flashing shcaps 3.57a ROM because his 3.54b ROM doesn't have spalsh screen included. but there is one question remains unsolved for me and that is why i got error during flashing only splash screen??? could it be splash screen file was corrupt?
im happy my baby is alive again
I'd more like to know how to make a musicial start tone with the splash screen. example HTC's offical rom has a nice animated splash with a musical tone. I've looked at the templates and examples and there's plenty of easy to understand aspects of a still splashscreen but can't seem to find anything that shows how to craete an animated with music splash screen like HTC's
any idea's?
Hello,
I haven't been here in a long time but i recently made the switch to Rogers WM6 ROM from HTC and honestly, i have to admit - it's BLAZING FAST !!! i love the ROM. anyways, i got rid of the rogers splash screens, i was looking for the official HTC bootscreens, can someone please upload it or can someone tell me how to change my bootscreens to original HTC or to any 320 x 240 image? i have this image that i want to use as my boot screen, but i'm not exactly sure how to. Also, if someone has the HTC bootscreen image, please upload it. Thanks in advance.
When I had it loaded I grabbed all the home screens and sounds, but forgot about the boot screens. If I get a chance I will put the HTC software back on the test phone and grab them.
Try this:
HTC Splash
Rogers Splash
TMo Splash
The only one i tried before is the HTC Splash Screen at its getting a weird image once flashed..i don't know why, maybe it gets corrupted once extracted or assembled as NBH again? Well worth a try. Please make sure you load USPL first before flashing these NBH's..
I made my own screens, but how do I overwrite the files that are in the /appdata/home/ diectory?

thanks a lot, man - it works perfectly ! even though i had a hard time with USPL but otherwise, works fine.
question - is there anyway we could bring the "vibrate" mode back during startup and shutdown?
i was fumbling around with the hypercore kitchen and found a tool in a subfolder called "nb image tool". i was curious, since it suggested only a few simple clicks in order to create your own splash screen. so i flashed my creation but now i have TWO splash screens: one white HTC INNOVATION, and one OEM. the latter one can still be changed. but the first one seems to be branded into my device.
i found out that this tool was originally made for the himalaya which actually does have TWO splash screens. but i haven't found any hint how to reverse this **** again.
requesting immediate help, please!!!
This should fix it, it fixed mine

Hi everyone!
Using tools found in Buzzdev's site, I tried to change the splashscreen on my Uni, but something failed. I tried it 3-4 times with correct images (480x640 bitmap 24bit converted in rsb) but after telling me that the update is made, it makes a soft reset and the image that appears is completely messed up!
Also, before making this thing, it remained in the blank initial screen for 1-2 seconds, now it stays there for 15 seconds!!! Everytime I make a SR I fear that it's bricked!!!
Any help is very appreciated...

I read everything in those 3ds but nothing helped me.
I tried 2 more times to change the splashscreen and I obtained another messed up image, but now the blank screen has a normal behavior: it appears for 2 seconds.
Even if I haven't received error messages I tried to install rapi.cab and SdkCerts.cab, but nothing changed. Trying to install htc_certs it says that it has to unistall the previous customization tools. Have I to continue uninstalling?
Another question: I didn't entered in bootloader mode, was I supposed to?
In edit:
@orb3000: oh yeah, I voted long time ago for our great Uni!
I add another thing: when Uni boots the image is totally messed up, but when I try to flash another image the backup is correct!
I tried to install htc_certs, but nothing changed, except that now it takes more time to boot...
Ok, here are the news:
I found this post that took me to this one.
According to Tomal's instructions, I tried to remove the first 28 byte from the .rsb header, but no program could open it, due to missing header.
I tried to change the initial offset from the batch file (without editing the .rsb file) but nothing changed, same messed up image on boot.
So question is: what am I supposed to do now? Install a rom with a different splashscreen, edit qhat I want and then revert to Tomal's rom? Seems too long to do!

As far as I know you don´t have to reflash a ROM to have a new splash screen.
When I change mine just made a hard reset and voila! my new splash was there with the same ROM I was using
Good luck,
Nope.
That didn't work for me...
Any other idea?
Ok, half fixed everything.
I tried to flash my Uni with a Rom without flash disk and with a new splash screen. I used this one.
Obviously, flashing went wrong and my uni was stuck in the boot screen with a brand new splash screen! Now, I got a new splash screen with a bricked Uni...
Uff...
So I tried to enter boot loader. It did. Tried to install Tomal's 8.5, but again I obtained a bricked Uni.
I used mtty to format DOC and everything worked.
Then I installed again Tomal's 8.2 and my Uni is now working again.
But formatting DOC erased also splash screen!
So I don't have a splash screen at all.
Now, looking back I suppose that next time my ego will try to tell me that a wonderful brand new splash screen would bring my Uni to another level of power, I'll take one finger of mine and close it in the first door I find... That would solve everything.

Tomal, you're great!
My idea was to use the splashscreen attached, but I was also wondering what is necessary to do for install it into a nk.nbf file.
You said that the header (the first 28 byte) has to be removed, then the .rsb file has to be inserted on the address 0x3f00000, but this is the (absolute?) address on the Uni memory, I don't know how it is managed on the .nbf file...
So, if I convert to .bin (or something like it) the .nbf file and with an hex editor I insert on the correct address the image everything should be fine?
My next question is: how the upgrade utility decides to update or not the splashscreen? Seems that something other has to be changed...
That's one of my screens, it's ready for flashing as you can see here:

Infact I took it from yours!
But, as specified in the other posts, with Tomal's rom seems impossible to use the standard procedure...
Perhaps the only way is to insert the splash screen directly in the rom and flash everything at once.

Nope, don't be upset. I have another way. But you need to consider a HR, so do a backup before start.
Attached you'll find the splash and flashing tools. nk.nbf only contains the splash so your rom will be untouched.
Burn the splash in the regular way...
Once again, nothing good...
I used your last method, flashed the splashscreen, only soft-reset the device, the splashscreen appeared correctly, but it didn't boot.
So, I flashed your 8.5 standard (the special one has rltoday, but I don't like it so much...) and correctly finished the procedure. Once again, device didn't boot.
Used mty, format DOC, flashed again and now it works... Without splashscreen!
So, according to me the only way to restore a splashscreen on my device is to flash another rom which doesn't use flashdisk, change bootscreen and flash back to yours (for me is the best).
Too hard for me: flashing device contains a little danger every time you do it. It's time to leave my Uni with a rom for more than 3 days!!!
Tomal, once again, thank you for your support!!!!!!
