Hi bogarty,

first of all thanks for your work!

BUT, flashing one of the _nougat bootanimations was the first thing I tried. They do not work on my device.

The reason is, that /cust_spec does not exist when I'm in TWRP. When my phone is booted, /cust_spec exists and is a link to /version/special_cust/FRD-L09/hw/eu, but in TWRP (at least in 3.1.0-0) it's just not there, so flashing will have no effect.

Christian
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bogarty:
As I said, it sounds like for your device(if your animation is not in either /system/media/ or /cust/spec media), you will have to determine where your boot animation is kept, extract the bootanimation.zip you want and manually replace it with the proper permissions. The part of my comment that you quoted was meant for the other guy btw. Not sure if that was clear or not.

Anyhow, I wish you good luck and hope you get it figured out. :)
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] StratOS_HTC:
Little hint :o

While creating a fuly customizible rom based on stock and fully modified I realized that Huawei really changed a lot.

After disasembly of binary bootanimation I realized that :

The boot animation is located in /product/ as ext4

Have successfuly changed bootanimation and other afterboot sequences allready.

Here is just a hint for development.

Wish you happy and prospect changing.

BTW:

/product/etc/media/ is a place to go

Feel free to update scripts for it.

Giva a little thanks If I help U or just reminder in first post would be good.

Regards !
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bogarty:
Thanks. Doesn't really help me at all though. As I said a few posts back:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71546460&postcount=43

All the different variants of the Honor 8 keep their animations in different locations, but the majority seem to keep it in either "/system/media/" or "/cust_spec/media/"(after Nougat update), as has been previously verified by testers and can be confirmed by the fact that my animations have now been downloaded 550 times in total, but very few have said anything about them not working. Though I've only had 10 "Thanks" on the OP, so who knows right? :P

Anyhow, I have not heard any reports though of the animation being in "/product/etc/media/" until you mentioned it, which means it's likely pretty uncommon, so to make an animation file for that location or any of the other random locations that some devices have would likely be pointless, as they'll probably only get downloaded like 2 or 3 times maybe at most, partially because of no real way to identify them as the file to download for people who have a compatible variant. It's been confirmed by at least a few people on here who even had the same variant and reportedly the same firmware version that their animations were even in a different place, so doing more than I already have, I don't think would very much help at all. I'd have to make fifty different zip files for each particular variant & version to cover it all, most of which would never be downloaded.

EDIT: It should be mentioned too, just as an FYI for anyone trying to determine the location of the animation on their device(that is not one of the more common two I mentioned above and have included in my zip files), that most of the Honor 8 devices have a "bootanimation.zip" stored in several locations throughout the system, but only one actually changes the animation for each. Determining which one will have to be up to you guys to figure out.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] StratOS_HTC:
Patches

This is for FRD-L09 v380 Nougat official and can confirm that.

Some big service providers can have their own patches, that is where the difference can occur.

No need to make so much zip, create script to check for primary. But guess it's version releated or service provider related in major.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] bogarty:
I see what you're saying, but until I hear more from people though that neither of the two files I provided for each animation work for them, it's hard to see much reason to rewrite the scripts and reupload all the files if it's currently working for most. I understand this excludes some, but until I get more feedback, I'd just be going on the information from one person with one version of one variant. Again too, being that there are so many different locations for the bootanimation.zip files across different variants, versions, service providers, etc., I'm not really even sure how I'd go about including a script that covers them all.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] StratOS_HTC:
There are a lot of leftovers in the original rom, there is also something wrong with bootSound.ogg location of the audio file included also :eek:
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] tofclaire:
thanks, i've L09 too, i have created the folder media in /version/special_cust/FRD-L09/hw/eu/ for copied bootanimation and it works :)
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Noorquacker:
A problem with boot animation

Special thanks to [MENTION=1857366]skyball2[/MENTION] for the helpful hint that bootanimation.zip is in /version/special_cust/<MODEL>/hw/<REGION>/

This leads me to believe that the /cust_spec symlink leads to the above directory.

For all those who screwed up their boot animation, go to the above mentioned directory in TWRP.

Location on L14

FRD-L14, USA, Build: *385 and the bootanimation.zip is located at /version/special_cust/FRD-L14/hw/USA/media/ . There is also a zip in /product/etc/media/ but changing that didn't do anything.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] venugopalu007:
Just flash the above zips using twrp Bro.
[Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pyromayniyak:
I've tried flashing the zips but that doesn't work for me. It's ok though because it's not like it's hard to do it manually. Either way, I still get to use the boot animation. At least now I know where to find it to change it.

I'm receveing this error

ERROR: remote (partition lenght get error)
[Huawei MediaPad M2] beast.in.black:
Wow, it's been a while and lot of stuff has happened since I made the OP - in fact, I haven't used my M2 in years now.

Since you didn't give me much details about what you did and at what step you get the error, I will assume that you meant that you get this error at the "fastboot flash" stage for one of the partition images. This would mean that the ".img" you are trying to flash is probably not the correct one, so there must have been some error in either the choice of ROM or the image extraction process.

Please double-check and make sure that you are using an appropriate/correct source ROM for the device which you have, and that there were no errors in extracting the relevant partition images, and that you are trying to flash the correct image to the correct partition. Mixing any of this up WILL lead to a brick if the flash succeeds, so the system is protecting you from making a mistake.

If you are sure that you did all the steps correctly but are still getting this error, I do not know how to help.
[Huawei MediaPad M2] itzmeandyos:
Sorry, the question was not so detailed, I'm tryna flash twrp to my P40 Lite E via the Android Bootloader Interface after doing tespoint procedure. Now comes the problem, I have tried the newest twrp for Kirin SoC ( downloaded from twrp official site) but it wont flash on Recovery and Ramdisk partition. There goes the Error.

Hope I was more detailed this time!
[Huawei MediaPad M2] beast.in.black:
Ah I see. This thread was about flashing partitions extracted from Offical ROMs for the Huawei M2-802L. I think there are other tutorials for TWRP flash, which AFAIK requires an unlocked bootloader and so therefore is not possible on newer Huawei phones for the past few years.

Also, I checked the TWRP devices list for Huawei, and your P40 Lite E is NOT listed there. So the fact that you are not able to flash the image is likely the right thing to do because otherwise you would brick your device :)
[Huawei MediaPad M2] itzmeandyos:
I can semi-unlock the bootloaded, that means if I can find a twrp image for my p40 lite e I can root my phone
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DicEvsTytnII:
Anybody know a handy tool to do that?

Or maybe how to configure PIMBackup custom setting to look in the right locations? I would really like to safe my wifi profiles before loading a new rom on so I don't have to go around asking and setting them up all over again :(

thanks for the info!

Hi there, I had the same issue and I managed to reflash my phone reading through this thread: https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/p9-lite-crashed-black-screen-bip-green-t3485836

You have to download and use DC-Phoenix to flash a stock firmware to the phone.

The bad part is that it is a paid service that will cost you 15€... but for me it was worth it in comparison with having a dead phone.

I wonder why no one has come up with a free equivalent to DC-Phoenix yet?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] bergsprekken:
Hi,

How is it that DC-Phoenix tool is able to flash the rom and at the same time its not possible to do from fastboot?

I have the same problem, my P9 Lite gives no signs of being alive except that it connects throught usb in fastboot on my computer. No buttons work in no combinations, I have tried everything. There is no vibration and the screen is black. When it connects to computer with usb the hui suite reacts and also fastboot shows that it is connected. It is not possible to boot into recovery, the phone gives no sign of being alive except that it appears in fastboot.

With fastboot I am able to flash boot.img, cust.img,system.img etc.. and even twrp.

The problem is that the fastboot reboot command does not reboot the phone, or atleast it does not come alive, it just reappears in fastboot mode.

I think maybe the problem is that I am not able to do certain commands because it is not rooted. I tried to boot an image directly but I get a "remote command not allowed".

I think its strange that some fastboot commands doesnt work because your not allowed to flash certain images and at the same time DC-Phoenix can do it.

If you look at DC-Phoenix manual you can see what commands they are doing behind the scenes. I think they basically flash every image file from the .app file.

I have tried to extract the app file with huawei update extractor but I am not able to flash all those files. SYSTEM, BOOT, CUST, RECOVERY can be flashed without error but CACHE, FASTLOADER and XLOADER can't be flashed because I get the remote command not allowed message.

If you look at DCS-Phoenix it seems thats what they do..they flash XLOADER etc.. Am I right? And if so how can we do it without paying for a tool?

In my way to put it, it's almost as if it doesn't flash on pre determined partition tables/device specs and more so to do with the registry and building the jump off of what is currently available in the registry.. Neat stuff! Although these are my assumptions. If anyone knows what actually goes on during the update process feel free to school me

It has to be a mistake, but Antutu shows an impressive score of 20.691 points, similar to newer platforms equiped with 4 cores CPUs and 2Gb of fast memory.

The actual configuration that gets this score is:

[ROM][AOSP][Unified] Unlegacy-Android MarshMallow build ua_tuna-ota-20170116.zip

F2FS Data partition. ext4 in System/Cache

Greenify properly configured to hibernate not used background apps.

The normal app load used in the terminal

As seen in the attached screenshot, 3D sucks with a score of 226 points (absolutelly normal), but the rest os the scores are amazing. Well, in fact, in my opinion the system is very smooth and apps runs quite well, but I think no in the way they should with a terminal in this real score in multitasking and memory performance. Is because of this I think this score is really artificially increased, or perhaps the potencial performance is degraded due the scarce 1 GB of RAM, in daily use.

I know that Antutu is not a real performance index but its relative scores places every device in an almost correct place of real performance.

What do you think?
