How to flash original logo? Where logo is located? It must be different place as in Android 4.4.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
its in an original stock ROM .no matter what stock rom because its the same .. you need to flash it via sp flashtool. ..uncheck all and only leave the logo.bin checked.

[Elephone P8000] rbt07:
Thank you. I found it in custom/bootani
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Mate that is the boot animation . not the logo at start of the phone. Didn't you say logo? XD

[Elephone P8000] rbt07:
I want change Eragorn dragon animation to standard Elephone animation.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:

From a purist point of view flashtool would be better but for ease of use flashable zip better. A lot of people(myself included) have driver problems. I have 2 more or less identical win 8 PC's and can only get it working on one of them.
[Elephone P8000] afpereira:
For me a flash zip, i haver a mac and don't haver flashtool
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
Yes but on the other side its a must have . the drivers works on win 7 , 8 and 10. On bbs.elephone.hk is a guide for the flashtools and its drivers. Also there is a guide on how to make it work even when the signature verification fails.. I don't know why it don't work for some users.. But anyway I have not made a desicion of what I will use.

The problem for me is that I want a better experience and a working custom image for all users. Because that image is wrong when you are coming from 10/14 or 05/11 . so there is a bug with the lockscreen wallpaper too. I can fix it when I would use the flashtool..

At the moment I try to get it to work in a flashable zip. If that will work I can use the flashable zip method.. Or I will provide eragons custom image on first page too..

But as said above. I have not made a desicion yet. :)

Edit: also people will get a problem when flashtool isn't working. Because in march android 6 will be out. And it is necessary to use the flashtool to upgrade to android 6.

Edit2:

I don't know , but it might work. Its worth a try.

Use a windows 7.iso file and mount it with a virtual emulator.. (Install the drivers and try flashtools)

Gesendet von meinem Elephone P8000 mit Tapatalk
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
Yeah, I don't mind going down the flashtool route and your idea of using a virtual machine is a good one. You can even run a windows VM in macs too...
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
please try it out for me. and report if it works :)
[Elephone P8000] charliepie:
I don't have a mac myself(hate them, lol) but I'm sure someone can test it if they have parallel desktop or virtualbox for mac. As I said one of my win 8 machines can run flashtool but I can't get the drivers working on the other one - perhaps a hardware issue as one is an intel and the other amd with different graphics cards too(NVidia & ati radeon)
[Elephone P8000] spatje:
Hi my mobile is now stuck on eragon logo will not go further. I can not access recovery. flash tool doesn't work anyone got any ideas?

1. Don't use twrp

2. Press Vol+ and power similar a few minutes

3.choose recovery.

4. Restore backup?

5. Or flash visionary kernel.

6. Its not ROM. The issues are fixed. Are you coming from stock 05/11?

[Elephone P8000] kivulallo:
the only negative for flashtool is it needs a computer. i have win10 and working drivers (i was fighting for hours to get it work) thats not a problem. but i can't access my computer always, so i update my phone by downloading the zip to the phone and flash it with philz. that's why i prefer the zip.

if you choose flashtool that's not a problem for me either

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

what have you done before? what recovery do you have? i've never seen that flashtool wouldn't work. what could happen with the preloader?

[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
you mean the blue logo? look attached

and if you mean the bootanimation look into custom/bootani there is a startup.zip with all pngs in it

[Elephone P8000] ruonim:
Flash logo in tool.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
I think here is a misunderstood .

1. The shutdown animation is an animation.zip in custom/bootani

2. The logo (with the blue dragon)

Is only at start. Before the eragon bootanimation starts. The boot animation is also in custom/bootani

open the rom.zip . you will see the logo.image.

you can make your own with that

i have not tried that guide. but i am sure it works too.

p.s a logo.img and a logo.bin will work too ( you can take it from the stock rom)

after you made it. you can flash the logo.bin via sp flashtool. just copy the scatter.txt from a stock rom into the same folder where your logo.bin is and flash it.
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
Please excuse my rather long absence.

So, to catch up:

- the sudden black call screen has nothing to do with the sensor, but rather with messy software, pretty much like the fingerprint snafu. :)

- SP Flashtools are a must, but for all intents and purposes flashable zips are the way to go - more convenient, portable and much more simple to use.

- for some reason, I cannot flash philZ recovery no matter how I try (Flashtool, flashify, cwm) - I always end up with ”installation aborted”.

- is there a way to make Open Camera to save on external sd?

Cheers to all! :)
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
1. why do think it has to do with Software. I mean i didn't touched the files for it anyway. They are stock.

When you slide over The proximity sensor the issue is gone a few times . could be that the sensor lose the value from time to time.

Do you have a solution for it?

2. I agree with flashtools

3. You tried philz v2? Thats the most stable release. Or go back to stock recovery and try it again. (To start from the begin)

4. Yes. Look into settings of Open camera/settings/more camera controls/save location . tap on the parent folder.. There you can browse to your prefer location. Or create a new folder...
[Elephone P8000] vladoots:
Hey, man! :)

I think it's a software issue because it behaves exactly the same irrespective of the sensor input, like when I dial with the phone on the table (on speaker) or via Bluetooth. I'm nowhere near the proximity sensor - yet it suddenly goes black. And it doesn't always do that, hinting on a software issue that makes it behave that way., erratically This specific problem wasn't there up until 6.5.1. And I can't afford to tinker with the phone atm, as I was and still am travelling extensively, relying on the device. It doesn't bother me much, but it's bothersome every now and again.

For philz, I've tried to flash exactly 2.0, but it won't work, even with an open bootloader. I'm not sure why, it doesn't say anything else than ”installation aborted”... I'll investigate more when I get home (hopefully within a week).

Thanks for the OC tip, I must have confused ”save location” with ”embed location” (geo-tagging), which I abhor. :)

All the best!

V.
[Elephone P8000] skeleton1911:
