Below are the details from Nomad that should be helpful to anyone trying to make an image swap program. Nomad has already proven that this process works in an earlier post. I installed his navboot file in my V26.09 image and it worked perfectly. Although his test version has the HACKED BMW logo, with skull and crossbones.... Not sure my wife would be hip to that splash screen.

Okay I am off to bed...

I am still searching for the switches in v26 and in parallel working on the splash screens.

I need to know how the heck Nomad was able to make a working navboot with the new splash screen??? My current process, based on all that we have learned, involves

- extracting navboot from v26 beta and opening it in a hex editor

- cut and pasting the section (defined by 4D AD 00 02) which has the GIF file to a blank editor page

- deleting the GIF ("GIF89a" to ":;") from the section (verified it was the beta logo by pasting it to a blank editor page, saving it and opening it in Paint).

- open new gif in a blank editor page and selecting it, then pasting the hex into the previously mentioned section.

- save the now modified section and run CRC24 against it. Take new checksum and overwrite the 6 bytes at the end of the section... save (re-ran CRC24 to verify I entered it correctly, got the "OK")

- select the modified section and insert it back into navboot

- save image, burn, install

and it fails on install. What's Nomad's secret recipe?
