   Do you have to have jailbroken your device with WinPwn, or can it be done after using a different meathod.

   Hi guys, I downloaded Winpwn 1.0 and it works great. Once you select the apps you want, then just continue to build the firmware. I downloaded Gimp 2 and Save to Web to make my own Boot and Restore logos….Its Great!!!

   I have a Mac, and I am guessing the WinPwn is for Windows? Can you do this with Pwnage Tool to do the same thing? I have tried, but there is no button for “Update Logos”, just an OK button, but that makes me save the .ipsw file on my computer.

   I have iphone jailbroken thru ziphone but this worked for me and both the boot logo and recovery logo changed without the need for restoring so i think this might work on ipod as well.

   This is a great post. I had personalized everything including the taskbar and system sounds but couldnt change the boot logo. But now everyhting on my phone is personalized and it looks great.

    I tried to change the boot and restore logo, but i’m not able see and select any of icons on ONLINE IMAGE GALLERY, it’s all blank… So i tried to select an image i created, and error message shows up saying ‘FAILED TO CONVERT LOGO TO DEVICE FORMAT! A GENERIC ERROR OCCURRED IN GDI+.’, i’m not sure what does it mean though… Can you guys help me to solve this problem?

    I’ve tried, now i’m able to change the boot and restore logos only by using the built-in online library, but if i choose from any other of my cutomized logos, the same error “failed to convert logo to device format! a generic eror occurred in GDI+” still there… Wondering is there a bug in this program or something’s wrong with my logo.. But i tried download the logo provided by Doug above, and tried to use it in WinPwn also the same thing…

    Is this somehow possible with Pwnage on a Mac? Or only with WinPwn? I think matt asked this too, but didn’t get an answer….

    doesn’t work with WinPwn 2.0.0.3 does it?

    Does anyone know how to change the boot logo after pwnage in an iPhone 3G?

    Hi devesh,
    After reading other posts I think this is not possible at the moment(pawnagetool-2.1).

    For the others: Here is the retro apple logo for bootscreen (like above but without the applescool). Also as GIMP files if you would like to add custom text to it

    I cant see update boot logo in the new winpwn

    Note:
    4.Select the Left side Custom Logos option in WinPwn. The left side one is first priority then the right side one is second priority. I prefer select your same file both side and give the file name bootlogo.png.

    I successfully changed the logo.
    Thank you all.
