I've got an O2 Ireland-branded HTC Desire.
This means when I turn it on, the first thing you see is a big O2 logo. After a few seconds this disappears and changes to the the boot animation.
Flashing ROMs changes the boot animation, but it doesn't affect this initial logo.
Does anyone know how to change this logo?
I'm assuming it's stored on some part of the phone which is... hard to change? Is it part of HBOOT? Can it be replaced with the unbranded version?
if your phone is rooted then the easiest way would be to install root explorer and copy and paste the bootanimation zip file you want to use over the original one. or you can buy bootanimation changer app from market and do it that way............sudeki300
I know how to change the boot animation. But that's not the problem. What I'm trying to change is the logo that appears *before* the boot animation. You know, the thing you see the instant you turn your phone on.

Hi, I was in this case,the best way is to re-flash the droid with an original (you will have the HTC logo in place of your operator), after that you can use a custom rom.
Does anyone know which part exactly of the offical HTC update would replace this logo? Is it HBOOT? SPL? Something else?
Could this be extracted from the HTC update and flashed separately?
the only way i know of is to debrand the phone by rooting it and flashing a custom rom. or just get hold of a generic htc desire official rom and flash that....................sudeki300

the file in question is bootanimation.zip. It's not simple to extract it and re-compile the rom; 2 solutions:
- use a kitchen to create your own rom.
- try to replace bootanimation by another one, I try it since few days without success, I'm working on it because the HTC logo is no so sexy.
The original rom from HTC is RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
Not that i know the answer, but just to clear things up:
-he is rooted.
-he has changed bootanimation.zip.
He is talking about the logo before bootanimation. Normally 'HTC' in green, in his case 'O2' (I guess in red).
The question is: where is that 'pre-bootanimation-logo' stored and possibly how to change it?
Flashing rom or flashing bootscreenanimation.zip does not work.

You will have to flash a stock rom and put up with the htc logo, as it stands we cannot flash the splash screen seperately because we do not have an unlocked spl yet

Hello sir - are you saying that I could get rid of the ugly Telstra boot splash screen and replace it with a stock HTC splash screen if I flashed a factory ROM? (Yes, I am talking about the boot splash, and NOT the boot animation).
Anything would be preferable to the splash of a carrier I am not even using.
If so, would I need to re-root, or would I have to de-root first, then re-root?

The unrEVOked team should be coming out with an s-off HBOOT soon, which should allow you change this.

I have one T-COM version HTC desire, the original system was broken by me when I was trying to root it. And then the situation became worse because I tried to fix it but I did wrong things.
So I am looking for original T-COM HTC desire recovery.img to reflash my phone. I don't know which version I need. But if anyone can tell me where I can find some recovery images, it would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone,
I know that there is a tool available that will replace the network Splash Screen with a BMP file of your choice. I did have this tool and had downloaded it, but since then I have lost it (deleted it). I have had a really good search, but I don't seem to be able to find it on this Forum or any others. therefore I was wondering if anyone knows where it is, or how to replace the splash image manually. I want to replace the T-Mobile image which first comes up when the phone is initially turned on. Any help will be very welcome.
Many thanks
Ian
android flasher or just try downloading an .IMG file with a splash and push it via adb.
You will need root and a guide for changing boot animation, search the development section...

actually fo splash you need ENG S-OFF.
sorry uros0104 it's not the boot animation I want to change. It's the splash image that I want to change. They are seperate files. Thanks haerigrek Android Flasher was the exact one I was looking for.
Many thanks
Ian
Worked brilliantly, thank you.
Hello everyone. Especially experts, I really need your help!
I want to flash a custom splash1, though I already have a fancy splash from an Korean company.
I haven't been able to find that splash on the internet.
So I utterly wish to back it up in case I want to revert back.
I did a lot of browsing and analyzing.
Seems like the splash1 should be in some separate partition.
But I can't really find it.
I tried to DD backup and convert to png every partition I found inside dev/block. None gave me an picture of my splash1.
So I need your help, experts and super advances users and maybe former owners of HTC Desire.
Any tip and suggestion will be appreciated.
Thank you guys. Waiting for your replies! :fingers-crossed:

Not sure where the splash is located but a simple solution would be just download the exact ruu for ur phone (country/region/brand etc) then pull the rom.zip from the ruu exe file then inside the rom.zip will be the splash.img
Its up to u, might save u hours of searching.
Hello XDA-
I am hoping that someone can pull the stock alerts/notification/ring tones from this phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Aaaaaand nevermind , I was able to pull them all out of the stock Boot System zip file.
Disregard.
Thanks
