I assume you mean the initial splash screen that pops up when you startup the phone. I did this on my G1, which was used on AT&T until I just got a Rogers Magic yesterday.
w00t.

I've verified that it works, I now have a pretty bootsplash on my new Magic.

It should. Tough luck if you can't figure it out from there.

I've been struggling with this for a few days and may give up due to the risk involved.
Basically, it all depends on what version of the device you have.
1. You need to root your phone.
2. Check this website: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
It has detailed information on how to edit your boot screen.
Issues arise if you have a perfect SPL, like I do. (which is most likely what you bought) With a perfect SPL you will need to follow Ra's 30 - 40 steps to creating a Gold card (which might brick your phone and super complex) and then install an engineering SPL. After you've installed the busted SPL you can then use fastboot to push a new boot screen you've created using tools found is several other threads in this forum.
To do just about anything with the boot screen you'll need an extra non-scan disk SD card, RA's engineers SPL, the boot screen image converter created by JesusFreak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467064) and some other stuff. I'd recommend doing some homework. MT3G is a super pain in the ass in comparison to the G1.
You might want to keep an eye on the thread I started yesterday... which is basically what you are asking... except I've done a lot of reading. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568434)

Yeah, that wont work for his American MT3G.

it should do its only flashing the splash screen, not the android screen
"fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.xxx"

its very simple, u can change the bootsplash on the mt3g, but first you have to change the spl, the one that comes on it already ends in 0006, you have to change it to 2005 the same one from the g1, after that u can change it the same way with the g1 thru fastboot flashing....thats how i did mine and a few of my frineds mt3g...good luck

Follow my walkthrough here to get root access and the correct SPL on a bone stock MyTouch 3G from t-mobile so you can fastboot: http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=76
Then follow this thread on how to create and flash your new boot screen through fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555114

If you only just got 5 posts I really recommend you to help other people first and search this forum.

[Q] Installed LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5 but still have O2 Splash screen

Hi, im new here.
I've got a s-off HTC Desire with the awesome LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5 ROM installed, But for some reason I still have the static O2 splash screen when I turn my phone on.
Im not a total noob, i cant for the life of me work why its still there or how I can remove the damn thing.
Any help would be great.

Grab the android flasher somewhere on the forum and then find an image to replace it using the flasher
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Here is all you need.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638

I gave the flasher a go, i flashed a black version of the defult HTC splash. But the O2 splash is still there. The O2 one comes on first followed by the now black one.
Does anybody now where the O2 splash is located? Then I can just delete it. The only thing located in the Root/Data/Local is the black HTC bootanimation.zip

It is called SPLASH, not BOOT ANIMATION. You have to replace the splash image.

okay, im confused.
I have a splash1.img but when Im in android flasher its asking me for a .bmp instead of a .img file.
I then made a 24bit 480x800 splash1.bmp, which it accepted and flashed but it didnt work. Im still getting the O2 splash.
Does anybody know where the splash file is located on the phone? So i can replace it manually?

heres a screenshot

Hmm. Strange. Do you have S-OFF? Maybe that's the cause, because the file is on internal NAND hidden somewhere.
The process is simple BTW, it needs a 480x*800 image (BMP, not other) you select Splash and flash it via the tool. It worked for me (I'm S-OFF).
Edit: Changing Splash does require your phone with S-OFF. (stated in other threads).

Is your phone pvt 4. I have the exact same problem but with default white HTC. I'm s-offed and alpharev has never changed my boot image. I've also tried Android flasher. It says its worked but it doesn't. I'm wondering if its stored some place different on pvt 4. Is their anyway to manually check??

What it actually does:
This app flashes the specific parts of the device (Bootloader, Recovery, Splash screen, and Radio). It's just a time saver.
The splash screen is the image before the boot animation, if you don't like the white HTC, then change it!

[Tutorial] Make your own Splash Screen for Wildfire S

Hi Wildfire S users,
Today I'm going to teach you how to create Splash screen or the image that comes
before bootanimation.
1. Download the tool in the attached and extract it using any zip manager
2. Download PG76IMG.zip as base file for creating splash flashable
3. Make an image or resize and crop any image, it should be 320 width, 480 height. Save it as 24bit BMP. I'm not sure JPG will work but I always choose BMP to be sure.
4. In the tool folder you just extracted open CreateG1Splash.exe then click open choose your edited image then click convert.
5. a file mysplash.rgb565 is created just rename it to splash1.nb0 then open my attached PG76IMG.zip with any zip manager like winrar,winzip or 7zip. then drag the splash1.nb0, thats it.
6. Now put the file in the root of your memory card then flash through Hboot. by fully turning off phone then holding volume down then power.
7. It will ask you to update just follow instructions after that reboot. You'll see your new splash.
Here is a sample:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Wonderfull tool.
Thanks !

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks very much.

let me guess.......only for people with s-off????

A handy guide
It seems quite different on WFS compared to other Android phones. For example, on my DHD you convert your .bmp to .img and then flash via ADB as follows:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
fastboot reboot
You can also use Android Flasher if you don't feel comfortable using ADB.
I wonder if this will work with WFS?

Found another tool
Your input image shoud be 320 * 480 pixels!!!

New Splash with matching bootanimation

Great tool. I've made a splash screen also.
I've the original rgb565 contained also so if it doesn't work, maybe another one can create a working zip.

zip file
Hit thanks when you like! And download!!!
If someone wants to make a boot animation, i've added a bunch of jpg files in the same style.
Can't make it myself sorry. If you've made it, post it here or give it to me so i can include it.

what is splash mean???

Thanks for this

Thanks so much! I love it!

Does this method work with HTC unlocked phones? I'm running CM7.2 by alquez and have CWM installed and rooted.
Edit: I don't think it works with HTC unlocked phoned. Damn, I was excited about it.

anyway to revert back to original splash screen and bootanimation

To get original splash screen, you could Google the image, and then create it using the instructions in the first post.
Also original animations could be sourced via search, however changing the splash screen does not affect the boot animation, but I'd advise that you back things up before deleting them in the future.

[Q] How to install New Boot Splash

Hi, i was wondering is there any way to change the new boot splash for LG G3. Nothing major really, i just like the new font of the 'powered by android' logo in the bottom for the latest lollipop stock bootsplash. The old kitkat powered android font is kinda ugly.

Splash screens are almost always a part of theboot.img itself. Bootanimations are easy to make and use but the splash screen requires an edited boot.img HOWEVER, I am still looking into it because it seems lg has done something fishy with it. I've built a kernel and modified the .rle file but the splash remained.

The splash also takes out the first half of any boot animation, which can be kinda annoying...

There was a way back when i had nexus 5 to change the splash screen...but you need to edit the bootloader....G3 has a locked bootloader so i don't think you can do it!!

well, recently a new root method allow users to root lollipop.
ive tried flashing stock v20h and hooray i manage to get the splash screen above on the latest firmware and manage to root it with the new method. Lollipop root method
the only downside is there is not custom recovery compatible yet. (show up error when flash) hence could not flash custom rom with the rooted stock lollipop
if any different information otherwise, do share =)
