Hello,
The reason why anyone would do this is for example - I installed the Rogers WM6 but preferred the HTC BOOTSCREEN Image - hence why i personally did it. I did not like Rogers BootScreen Images as they take too long to boot as well as the bootscreen image in the Rogers WM6 used to load after the Green Windows Mobile Screen and on power-up, it used to have a black screen instead of the bootscreen image which to me did not seem practical as I rather see that the phones turned on right away than wait till the Windows Mobile screen loads. I've successfully flashed HTC Bootscreen image using the following steps. I had a member ask me how to flash .nbh files to phone. I'm talking specifically about the bootscreen .nbh images. In order to flash .nbh boot screen images - you have to flash through USPL. Here's how to do it -
1) Firstly, Download all required files that is
a) USPL CID -BYPASS
b) RUU
c) SDA APPLICATION UNLOCK
d) BOOTSCREEN IMAGES(IT CONTAINS HTC, ROGERS AND TMO BOOTSCREEN IMAGES)
2) Copy/Paste RUU File that is ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh to the desktop.
3) Copy/Paste ANY of the preferred BOOTSCREEN IMAGE (i.e. for example HTC.nbh) to RUU directory
4) Right Click ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh and Select Rename - Press Ctrl + C to copy file name
5) Head over to RUU and Right-Click HTC.nbh, Select Rename - Press Ctrl + V to copy over existing file name.
6) Once you're done this, REMOVE SD CARD AND REBOOT PHONE
7) Once done, APPLICATION UNLOCK YOUR PHONE IF IT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN APPLICATION UNLOCKED - YOU HAVE TO RUN SDA APPLICATION UNLOCK.
8) Now, Run USPL, Make sure you follow proper instructions as this is the main thing - if everything done right, you'll see screen goes into dim black with penguin and green messages, wait until you see the screen turns white then go to active sync and disable usb connections.
9) After this, run RUU and it'll use the re-named file which is the boot screen image to update the boot screen image. It will take max. a minute or two.
10) Once done, I think you see the tri-color screen but there won't be a cold boot - It'll reboot i think and go directly to the main screen.
11) Reboot and see if you see the preferred boot screen image.
For now, I'll post HTC, TMO and Rogers Boot Screen Images. We should still try as a group to create Custom Boot Screen .nbh files. If someone who know's how to make it, please share in this discussion.
Also, Does anyone know how to bring back the "Vibrate" mode during startup and shutdown?
Good Luck ! Post any concerns or any questions
NOTE: Please follow proper instructions, otherwise it won't work. If i'm missing anything, please let me know as I did this flash yesterday and I'm writing the guide today. Also, YOU HAVE TO FLASH THROUGH USPL - IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR PHONES CID UNLOCKED OR NOT.
Credits go to da_mayhem for uploading the images.
sweet, thanks... I'll try this later tonight after i get home from work... or tomorrow
woohoo, sweet... thanks for the guide lukybandit.
On step #2, you'll want to "Cut/Paste" if you copy, it leaves the original file in the folder, so renaming the HTC.nbh isn't possible unless you delete the original file.
also, step #8... DEFINATELY make sure you disable USB connections, i tried without and it didn't work...
However you're supposed to do that for WM6 rom updates also, but i never have, and haven't had a problem... until now that is.
Change HTC Splash Screen
Hello,
How to change the HTC splach screen which appears just after powering on the device?
I tried a lot of tools but I did'nt found one which works. Is it because the Excalibur screen is 320x240 instead of 240x320?
Does someone knows how to do?

This is not this splash screen I mean.
I am talking about the first one, which is in the NBH file as a NB file. I don't manage to make a good NB file in the right format to flash it using RUU.

you need total commander to overwrite
No one knows how to make a NB file that contains the splash screen? The default HTC NB file begins with "this is smartphone signature".
i changed my shutdown screed with resci explorer but to change the start up screen the htc screen and the freen windows mobile screen i want to get rid of those ugly screens
any1? a little help lol just want to change the start up splash screen any1 know how
You can use nbimg, to convert from NB to BMP.
For excalibur you'll need to use the following syntax:
Code:
nbimg.exe -F MainSplash.[nb|.bmp] -w 320 -h 240 -n
Also you'll need to add the "this is smartphone signature" manually to the generated NB file (using an hex editor). Maybe I'll add support for doing this automatically if there's a need. PM me as I'm not following the thread.
just saw on another thread how to create a .nb file from a .bmp .... i placed this here because apparently luky got the tmo and rogers .nbh files which have the mainsplash.nb files in them. need to know how to take the .nbh files he included and replace the mainslpash.nb and mainsplash.bmp files with the ones i created
heck i'll even upload the images here if someone wants to show me what to do
i was able to get the .nbh file created but when i flashed the phone with that file the first screen now looks like a green gradient image and not the image i put in the .nbh file
thanks for this man much appreciated.

Ah, on most HTC devices I've used the welcome screen is not the same as the splash screen and I think that might be the problem here. The welcomhead file is your welcome screen and easily replaced in your kitchen, but the splash screens (2 of, although sometimes seems like 1 as they might be identical) are installed as part of your ROM.
When you use get to the point in a kitchen of having an OS.nb or Windows.nb or however it's phrased, and you're ready to turn this into a full ROM file, you can add in other things like the IPL, SPL, 1st and 2nd splash screens, radio and extended ROM, each of which has its own .nb file.
Welcomehead is easy to change. The splash screens aren't hard to change and you should find instructions somewhere in any kitchen manual probably. Haven't time to look for you now though, you'll have to scan about in any kitchen-related docs or web pages you have or know of.

When i changed for wm6 the rom changed the 1st and the second splash. I changed again into the 6.1 and only the 2nd was changed, so i think that the 1st aren't directly connected to the ROM.

It just depends on whether the ROM you install happens to come with 1 or 2 or no splashscreens. There's a splash1.nb and splash2.nb (might be slightly different names to that but will be similar) in a full, original ROM - and a radio, IPL, SPL and Ext-ROM too. Each has its own .nb file. (The names of them vary a bit between devices but they're pretty much always easily-recognised.)
Cooked ROMs usually are OS-only, and only made from an OS.nb (or Windows.nb sometimes - you could actually call it anything and still use it). Sometimes however, someone bundles a splash1 or a splash2 with it or both. You could install a ROM and find no splashscreens change afterward - which is usually the case. Whenever I download a ROM and it comes with a splashscreen, I almost always break the ROM down into it's .nb files and then put it back without the splash1 or splash 2 in it.
If you have a go with any ROM using HyperCore you'll find ROMs with 1 splashscreen have 1 .nb file relating to splashscreen and ROMs with 2 splashscreens (or a splashscreen which apears to last ages, which is just identical splashscreens) have 2 .nb files relating to splashscreens.
I don't think not having splashscreens saves any space though as I'm fairly sure that the space is essentially allocated to the relevant .nb files (for splashscreens they're 256k each, the nb files, even if the picture you used was 1 0.5k black mono pic).
Learning to use HyperCore obliquely taught me and many others a fair bit about how these things tick. Not a techie, mind - just done a lot of phone flashing. It's brilliant.
By way of example, here's the .nb file-list from an official (OrangeUK) Hermes ROM. (The basic format is generally the same between devices, even if the names alter - it just happens to be the most recent ROM I broke up in this way and still have the files to list for you.)
RUU_Signed.nbh is the file one would flash. This is made up from:
Windows.nb
Herm_ExtendedRom.nb
IPL.nb
Radio.nb
PrimarySplash.nb
SecondarySplash.nb
SPL.nb
The format doesn't change much between most devices, even if the names change.
I used to have a tool (can't remember who made it) for creating the .nb files for splashscreens. If I find it I'll attach it.

Good news is you're okay with this already if you've got hypercore. Duttythroy's made a genius tool for it, appropriately entitled Dutty's Good NBH Tool. It splits .nbh files into the .nb files that comprise it, and that tool is in your hypercore.
It's also in just about every kitchen. Definitley on your hard drive somehere. Just use the page that disassembles (not in the programmer's sense) an .nbh file, not the page that puts one back together form the parts we've been talking about.
Good spot on Oli's tool, but it was another one. Had a very simple interface 1-click interface. Wish I could remember whose it was now 'cause I definitely don't have it any more. (Unfortunately, my external HDD went down recently and took ... well, everything with it from the last, ooh, 12 or 13 years. And yes I did have a backup: that was it; the proper HDD went down a few months earlier and, like a complete tool, I left it till the backup died before replacing it.)
EDIT: here it is, to save you searching mate.
Thanks
Uhm... Yea, I've been on the "right path" for so long, I have HypeCor, L26.v7, Helmi kitch r0... and I still haven't figured out how to make anything from the nk.nbf-file.
Reading a bit I thought typho5 would -x it into an nbh-file. No such luck. Just died on me telling me the .nbf-file has an "unknown header format".
I've even tried dumping from the phone with some "grab-it"-program.

It works, it spits out something. But what it is, what format etc I am unsure of.

Ooh, I wouldn't go messing with that just now. If all you want is to take an .nbh file and break it up into the various .nb files, just run dutty's tool, browse to your nbh file and go. it'll dump all he .nb files in no time at all, maybe less.
If that's not what you're trying to do then I'm barking up the wrong tree and therefore not helping, but if that's the case just re-explain your needs and I'll have another go.

Okay, exact mess I want to get my self in to:
swat4 was as kind as to drop a WM5-image with sdhc-drivers. I want to take out those .dll-files and add them to another image. Namely Helmi_UNI_AKU3.5_v1.3.1.
But so far all I have is this nk.nbf-image. That, and I found this grab-it-tool, which copys the roms image straight over to SD-card in raw format.
Hmmm... Any hints to point me in some general direction as to what to do next?

Righto.
If I was trying to add SDHC drivers to a ROM that didn't have them already, I think I'd be using HyperCore to turn the nbh of that ROM into .nb files and then into the series structured files and folders that kitchens usually use, OEM, SYS, ROM, etc., and then just adding an SDHC OEM. After which HyperCore becomes very similar to most kitchens.
OR I'd be just popping a line into the preconfig file if there is one, such as "CAB: /Windows/SDHC_drivers_that_I_wish_were_already_included_in_this_ROM.CAB" for example and letting it install as a cab at the preconfig stage instead of an OEM. (I'm a big preconfig fan.)
Might be quicker to use a kitchen from scratch than HyperCore to edit a pre-existing ROM though.
Hey, wow, thanks for all your help!
I still don't understand how to make an .nbh-file out of an .nbf-file though.
However I've tried copying sdbus.dll, SDHC.dll and SDMemory.dll to /Windows on the device, like I was recommended by someone else.
All that did was make my sdhc dissapear. No luck there.
I'm so frustrated, just looks like getting a proper WM5-image to work with >4G sdhc isn't feasible. Or at least, not for now.
Which is so frustrating, since there is one that does work. Gnh!
However, thanks for your time. I appriciate it.
I use this one

are you by any chance extracting the file when you get it? if so, dont...the setup file you are talking about is an xml file...just leave everything in the cab file
take this file as it is (do not extract/unrar), and transfer the whole thing over to the phone and then run it.
still
I put it in as the rar/zipped file and clicked then it opened it and had a file that said start menu and windows I clicked on start menu and it said my tools clicked again and it said extras and then it had another one of those files with random words.So I went back to the windows file and it had the files etp excalibur 1-6 and then a file that said changer.I clicked on changer and it asked what language.After that it said for everything to take effect I need to reboot so I did that and nothing happend.Is there any way to but back on mobile 6.0 its already been like 5 hours of not being able to use the keyboard??

if you cant install a cab file then maybe you should switch back. its really this simple. copy the file (unmolested) to the phones \windows directory via activesync. then using resco explorer, browse to \windows on your phone and just click on the file..dont open, dont extract, dont pass go and dont collect 200$. it will install. then reboot and THATS IT. we have all done this 100000 times here so im not buying the fact that you are the one off case where it doesnt work.
look in the sticky's at the top of this forum for the wm6 rom

I've seen a lot of people asking how folks have changed the Windows logo to the HTC one and so on. I am one of those people!
There's a thread over in the Diamond Forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307, that discusses altering the taskbar icons.
I've had a read of that but it doesn't appear to discuss the start button. I've currently got a cab installed that gave me coloured icons on the taskbar but also the 3d MS Office style start button. I like the icons but not that start button.
Is there anyway someone could provide an idiot/noob style guide for altering that icon. I'd love to have the Vista start button on my HD (attached image) but have no idea how to go about it aside from I think it has something to with .dll files.
Can anyone explain this? Anyone? I know there would be a lot of people grateful for it! I've Googled and used the search but just cannot seem to find anything!
I've attached a mock-up of my ideal; I've got the coloured icons, just the start button to go!
I think....
the explanation is to edit the shellres.192.dll file here:

This is the thread I used to alter the Windows logo to a HTC logo among other things in this thread. It's dead easy,
1) Unsign the file using Unsigner linked to in the thread further up (on page 2 of the Unsigner thread there's a .bat file that I found gave a better idea of whether it had worked or not).
2) Open the file in Reshacker and go to Icon on the left hand side and click it to expand it. Go to number 292, click it and it will expand to show 1033. Click 1033 and it should be the start menu icon. Right click on 1033 and select Replace Resource. Select Open File With New Icon and find your new (resized) icon. Double click it and it will show a preview of new and old. Click Replace in the bottom right corner.
3) Save the newly modified file.
4) Sign the modified file using Ssigner linked to in the thread above. CHECK THE TEXT FILE IT CREATES TO MAKE SURE IT SIGNED OK. Don't forget this bit as it will mean a hard reset if you do (as I learnt).
5) If you've not installed SDKCert.cab some time in the past. download it from here, copy it to the phone and install it.
6) Copy the file to the Windows directory on the phone using Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
7) Reboot the phone.
how did you copy shellres.192.dll? it says "Acces denied" even with resco. No chance to renaming also
To get the file in the first place you need a program called ROM Extractor on the phone to get the file from ROM. There are also different varients of the ROM for different locales. There's a description in the link above.
thanks for your efforts but seems a little complicated TotalCommander did the trick, resco seems to have some security check problems
anyway, unsigner doesn't work so i'm stuck

Try the .bat file in the second page of the Unsigner thread. Copy Unsigner, the .bat file and the file you want to unlock to the same directory and double click the .bat file. Also, because the file is from ROM make sure it's not marked as Read Only when you get it to your PC before unsigning it. If it's from ROM they're usually Read Only for a start.

Do you have the cab to change the other icons? I had a quick look on the diamond thread but couldn't find the exact ones you have! Thanks.

True, but when I tried Unsigner on it's own it didn't give any feedback as to what it was doing (or if it did I missed it) so I changed 150+ icons only to find it hadn't been unsigned and therefore couldn't be resigned. At least with the batch file I can check it's been properly unsigned before making changes.
Does it give you any error messages when you try Unsigner?

that's the point: no errors from unsigner, but resourcehacker can't open my file (not valid bla bla bla)
In which case I'd say the file hasn't copied across properly from the phone. Reshacker should be able to open the file and allow editing even if it's still signed. I'd try ROM Extractor to copy the file from ROM to elsewhere on the phone and then copy that across to the PC.

uhm seems reasonable
but I don't want to extract all my whole rom for a stupid dll... I extracted with total commander, isn't supposed to work this way?
Nope, certain ROM files can't be copied using normal file copy programs. I've found that they try and copy, then say the "File already exists, do you wish to replace?" and then whatever you select you're left with a 0k file with nothing in it. The ROM extractor doesn't copy the whole ROM. When you launch it you get a list of all the ROM files. Double click the one you want to extract, give it a location (\ usually for the root directory of the phone) and a name and click Extract.
Ok, I will try. But how to replace when modified? If I can't even read it, how will I replace it?
oxygen has second boot screen until "update-oxygen-1.0.1-signed",so i want to push bootanimation.zip into oxygen rom,i did like this..i built a file under data\local ,then i put the "bootanimation.zip" into the file ,then signed it,but i have always failed,i need somebody's help.......
i am a rookie and i does not know many english words,please forgive me,
What I always do is to open up the .rar (not unzipping it, but really just double click it), and poke around until I find the folder where the bootanimation.zip is.
Then I delete that .zip, and then using WinRar, click "Add" on the top left, and selected your desired bootanimation.zip, all of this WHILE still in the same folder where the original bootanimation was in.
When done, just sign it, then flash it as you would a normal Rom.

thank you for replying my post~
i have another question ,that is , i did not find "bootanimation.zip " in the oxygen rom ,maybe i did not find it in the right place,but oxygen rom did not have a folder called data/local...
Right, Oxygen seems to be a new breed of ROMs (hence, the no data/local), which I honestly haven't have the luxury of time to try yet (damn, lol).
Anyway, if you searched the oxygen thread, this post would have come up.
Try it and see
It's in /system/media
If you are S-OFF you can just adb push C:\asd\asd\asd.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip while the phone is running.
Otherwise you need to do it in recovery.
But wm's method is really the easiest way if you want to change your bootanimation before you have flashed an update.
While I'm at it: could you guide me to a thread/site where I can find infos regarding signing zip files? I only found really old threads :S
Thank you.

I cannot remember the creator of the program, but I used this thing called autosign.bat, which I got off the xda forum.
I'm sure you can find it around somewhere in the forum.

actually,i did it in this way,first,you need have the program called java, after you download it ,you have to set a java's environment which you can search it by yourself,attention: if you do not know much java languages ,advice you to install it in the default location. second,you need a Auto-sign tool which you can also find it by searching in xda. Then you should unzip the Auto-sign.rar under anywhere you can find it .
After you have done all of these,you can make your own rom !(all of the work below is in the unzipped folder called Auto-sign)
put the rom you have reformed into the folder called "Auto-sign",then ,you need to rename the rom to "update",after that ,double click it the Sign.bat in the folder,wait for awhile,you will get another rom called "update_signed",it is the rom you can flash into your Desire. English is not my mother tongue, if you can not understand what i have said, please reply me with simple and exact words, then, we can communicate with eachother.
