These are instructions on how to change your iPhone Boot Logo without reinstalling the firmware.

To follow this tutorial you must have a 2.0.1 jailbroken iPhone or higher.

Step One
Launch Cydia by pressing its icon on your Springboard.

Step Two
Press to select the Sections tab at the bottom of the screen.

Step Three
Press to select System from the list of Sections

Step Four
Press to select LogoMe from the list of Packages

Step Five
Press the Install button at the top right of the screen

Step Six
Press the Confirm button at the top right of the screen.

Step Seven
Once the installation has completed successfully click the large Return to Cydia button.

Step Eight
Press the Home button to return to your Springboard. Notice the new LogoMe icon. Press to launch the application.

Step Nine
When LogoMe first opens it will need an Internet connection to download some required files. Once the files have been downloaded press the Select Logo tab at the bottom of the screen.

Step Ten
Here we will enter a url for our bootlogo. In this case I will use https://www.iClarified.com/files/iClarified-bootlogo.png for the iClarified boot logo. If you would like to use a different logo you can enter its url here.

Step Eleven
Press the Download button to download the specified Boot Logo to LogoMe. Once it has finished you can press to select the Install Logo tab at the bottom of the screen.

Step Twelve
Use the Preview button to preview your downloaded Boot Logo and make sure it looks okay.

Step Thirteen
Press the Install button to install your specified Boot Logo onto your iPhone. The next time you boot you will see your new Boot Logo in place of the previous one!

LogoMe does NOT work with the current Firmware. And IF we ever see an updated version, it won't be anytime soon. There are some people out there trying to work on it themselves it seems like, but no success yet.

I dont use Headway, I use Thesis, which seems to have pretty good SEO capiialbty. However I have bought a plugin called scribe seo, it is a monthly subscription. Its wonderful. It allows me to do keyword research, seo analysis, tags, and shows me the box above like Headway.Thanks for sharing Jen

Hello , I have a lbig issue. I have installed logome to my iphone 3g 2.2 obviously jailbroken. And it worked perfectly the first time i used it. So i tried to use a didferent logo to see if it will work and then it didnt and it was right under the preview it was flash. Know when i turn it on i only see a white screen nothing else. I tried reseting but it didn't work. Any help out there. Thank you

greg - March 17, 2009 at 2:22am

hey Adbi what you did most likely was turn off your phone prematurely while the logo was flashing, you will need to restore your iphone.... i know because the same thing happened to me, lol.

Just woke up and there was an update for LogoMe in Cydia, updated and uploaded my boot logo. Me = happy Thanks to the developer(s) of LogoMe!

izzo - November 28, 2008 at 6:23am

Upgraded to 2.2 last night and no dice on logo replacement, I guess we will wait for a LogoMe update.

Hyushu - November 26, 2008 at 6:38pm

It seems like it doesn't work on 2.2 firmware yet. Tells me to update, and I've got 2.2.

chris voeltz - November 25, 2008 at 10:54pm

umm... i FINALLY got the jailbreak with cydia and all for 2.2 and installed LogoMe, but at the Welcome to LogoMe screen with the downloading necessary files... part, it just sits there. ive tried it about 7 times now and it still just sits there for so far the longest time period was 15mins... still trying. ANY help? chris.voeltz@gmail.com

joren - November 21, 2008 at 10:31am

I just don't get a preview, and now I accidentally pressed install, I don't get any logo anymore, which is a bit annoying :) anybod got some good logo's to try it with? thx

joao - November 12, 2008 at 1:12am

how can I get more logos? Before when I jailbroke my iPhone with the 2.0 firmware there were several logos options such as apple with showtime, batman logo, etc. Where can I get all those boot logos?

izzo - November 4, 2008 at 11:55am

nice. worked right away.

marogal - October 30, 2008 at 6:46am

thanx alot... i had changed the boot logo successfully.....

BRIKZ - October 22, 2008 at 1:35pm

Thanks iClarified for responding. This sounds like a lot of work for a logo i'm (hopefully) not going to see too much, so i guess i'll just try to find one, instead of making one. Plus, hoping winpwn 3 comes along soon with options for this.

Rahul Singh - October 22, 2008 at 12:28pm

Waht is Cydia? Why can't I have old apple logo back? Can some one help me to get the old apple logo?

iClarified - October 21, 2008 at 2:34pm

There are stringent requirements for these files. They must be 24bit PNGs, 100KB or less, have an alpha layer, RGB or Greyscale, and 320x480 or less in size.

HINT***: If you want to use a solid image as your background. Create a new transparent image in photoshop just slightly bigger then your original image. Copy your original image onto the new transparent image you just created. Make sure you can see some of the transparency layer on the sides. Then select Save for Web from the File Menu. Make sure you save it as PNG24 with transparency enabled!

BRIKZ - October 21, 2008 at 1:18pm

well, Apparently the authors here just write and forget. I still don't know how to make or change images to boot logos. Something to do with .jpg image to .png image, but after that i'm lost. Anyway for boot logos and their urls just type in logome or boot logos on search bars, and or forums when you get there. i did this on ipodtouchfans.com, (i have a 3g but concept the same) and some others, lots of people give examples of their logos and then you just have to copy the address from them. Do this by right clicking image and hit copy image location then transfer that to an image hosting site (photobucket, imageshack. both free and easy) or click properties and copy that to notepad or something then copy it into phone. Hope this helps.
