1. Resize the picture to 240x320 (you can do that with microsoft image resizer, just type the words image resizer @ google!)
2. Open it with paint save it as SPLASH.PNG
3. Use WINRAR to compress it to to SPLASH.RAR
4. Open SPLASH.RAR, then remove the .png extension
5. copy SPLASH into tpa/preset/system/settings

I dont think you need such a procedure, just use any image file supported by the phone (jpg,gif,png etc) and rename it to splash without any extension. Copy that to the phone's tpa/preset/system/settings directory and it should work.

Ex:
windows.gif

rename to

splash

without any extension

Well it sounded like we needed a special procedure to upload gif files as splash image to the phone, and your procedure is more complex than it should be. Its a simple matter of renaming without extension.
