Hi everybody,
i've tried to flash HTC spalsh screen but i got an error during da process and now whenever i turn on da device it only goes to da bootloader screen (tri-color). i tried soft/hard rest so far no success. i tried to reflash da entire rom( schaps 3.54b) however it says ur device it is not connected !!! ( i guess bc i can't sync da device). i also read da thread about how to unbrick hermes but no result
i desperately need some adivce
IPL 1.04
HERM100
SPL 2.10 olipro
I've done the same. Only I have now the original splash screen. My device starts normally.
I don't have a solution for you........ But I wanted you to know that it will work if it goes oke!
Good Luck finding a solution

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?
I think my touchscreen is broken..
i tried to allign screen but the program comes in a loop, only way to stop was to pull out battery.
Then i flashed a other rom.. comes with the wizzard and loops on screen allign.
Is there a way to disable the allign funkction at startup after a fresh rom ??
I want to use my phone for a couple of weeks now its not possible.

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...

Good luck,

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.

OK, send me your splash screen.
I'll prepare it for you.

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.

ok, here it is.
Connect the device in activesync and run splash.exe
cheers
Nope, doesn't work. I have the same wonderful fully black splash screen...
Tomal, there's no problem, it's good as it is, don't go crazy for it!
And thank you again for your great support!

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!!!!!!
Hi all,
Wonder if anyone could give me a hand. My messaging function went into white screen, cant type or send message out.
I did a reboot a while ago because the phone froze on the wm screen. It chucked my spl back to 1.37. Wonder if anyone could give me a hand to let me know how to deal with this problem?
Do i need to hardflash my spl first?
Thanks.

.
could you be a bit more specific? have you tried soft-resetting the device since it had this problem? if so you may need to hard-reset the device
not sure why, i tried hitting down vol + reset for a soft reset.
Went into the bootloader, but froze. Only said serial.
I am wondering do i need to hard flash the device first -.-"
Would be great if i get some help from someone.
Thanks!
Hi guys, strange problem here. I have flashed many rom's and no problem till now. I have allways used mtty before flashing. Now my device has freezed, soft reset - freeze again, hard reset - freeze on align screen. Mtty again, flashed stock rom, hard reset - freeze on align screen. Tried everything and nothing worked. It would'nt go any further from align screen. It's driving me crazy! Please help me, some advices would be thruly apreciated. thanks
I had an old iPaq which had some sort of rom hardware error and would give errors because of that. Have a look at the errors when you use mtty (assuming you format with the 'task 29' command), there's usually some, but if there's something that looks a bit out of place it might be a physical issue. Also, make sure you're taping the align screen firmly, and if all else fails, just leave it for a few hours on that screen, it may just be taking ages to start up
EDIT: maybe there's a limit to how many times a rom can be flashed? can anyone help us out here?
