[HOW TO] Replace initial splash screen (logo) on Huawei P7

If somebody want to replace provider/operator/or any other splash screen on Huawei device just do as follow:
Root required
First way:
Install Adb and Fastboot
Download this utility to ADB folder on PC
By Windows CMD go to ADB folder and use this commands:
(observe phone and make appropriate permissions if needed)
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo of=/sdcard/oeminfo"
adb pull /sdcard/oeminfo oeminfo
Make copy original oeminfo file
Download stock HW splash (logo) or make your own picture *.bmp. Bitmap resolution should match your device resolution (1080x1920 pixels). Put it to ADB folder.
In ADB folder use commands:
oem_logo.exe oeminfo logo.bmp
adb push oeminfo /sdcard/oeminfo
adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/oeminfo of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo"
adb rm -f /sdcard/oeminfo
Reboot
More options described here.
Second way:
Download this (translated bye me) utility
Unzip and use it
Additionally:
If you want to use Huawei stock splash screen you can install this file by custom recovery. It replace any splash screen you have installed by original HW.
Off course you can use this script to installing your own logo. Just replace file \dev\block\platform\hi_mci.0\by-name\oeminfo in downloaded zip by your own file created accordingly to above first method (by oem_logo.exe).

Are you sure? I'dont think so. At least, I was unable to find IMEI there. And it would be too easy to change IMEI if it could be in oeminfo partition...

hi Kostyan_nsk and z!log80 !
I have recently flashed oeminfo.img without isssues (thanks again Kostyan_nsk)
I wanted to give it a try and ask please Kostyan_nsk or z!log80 for a brief explanation about how oem_logo.exe performs the bitmap replacement. Is it possible to mount oeminfo.img browse its file system and replace a particular file, or is it by searching bitmap signature, …?
Thanks Ziolek67 for starting this thread :laugh:

do you have same imei as before ? oeminfo doesnt contain filesystem - no mount

yes, same as before
if no file system or mount then I guest search for a pattern or dedicated tool to package... I have been trying to find further more precise information about oeminfo.img but had not found much so far. I would appreciate if you can contribute to make this a bit clearer for me
thanks
[Edited]
After a bit of research I have found other mods for factory device location, etc. writing to particular offsets, tools to modify, backup and restore oeminfo.img. It is a data store. No embedded code. Thnx!

Eazy. I tried it many times... It works perfectly. I never publish potentially dangerous untested features.

Do not worry, I also used HW-OEM_LOGO.ZIP to change the booting logo for the original one, and my IMEI is the same as I bought it in the store, so do not be alarmed !!!!:laugh:

Also worked on P8 B321, IMEI stayed the same.

At the moment you decide to continue with this Tutorial, you become absolutely responsible for what happens with your Mobile and your actions. Please proceed with caution and do not play chingon.
HERE THE ODYSEA BEGINS!
<<< UNLOCK BOOTLOADER >>>
IMPORTANT:
To know the Model Number & IMEI:
Enter Settings> About Phone.
To Know the Serial Number:
Enter Settings> About Phone> Status
To Know Product ID:
Enter this code: "* # * # 1357946 # * # *" ​​on the telephone dial (without quotes), the number that appears, is the PRODUCT ID.
You can Obtain the Code to unlock the Bootloader in the following ways:
Following in the footsteps of EloyGomez Video Tutorial:
Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVmAEQjOnNQ
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following the Steps of the Screenshots having already a previous orientation with the Video of EloyGomez:
Https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/+JohnMillerDev7/albums/6305181114976401569
Using "Huawei Product ID Generator", and following the instructions (I recommend copying the data obtained in a notebook and saving them, you never know when you may need them again):
Download "Huawei Product ID Generator", extract it wherever you like and run it. (It's a very simple program).
Product Model: HUAWEI Y300-0000 (select that model).
Product IMEI / MEID: "Here they place their IMEI / MEID".
Product ID: "Here you generate the Product ID automatically according to the Product model & product IMEI / MEID that they placed above, and it is the one they should use on the page"
Go to the Huawei page to unlock Bootloader, either the English version or the Chinese version, the only thing that changes is the language. You can try with all 2 pages.
They create an account so they can log in, they can also log in with Facebook, it's very simple.
Once you have created your account and logged in, we will see the page to obtain the unlock code.
Fill in the fields with the data that we are requested and we will put the following:
Product type: Smartphone
Product model: HUAWEI Y300-0000 (If it does not work for them, try all the models that are in the generator) (Also try with CAPITAL & lowercase).
Product Serial number: You get it in Settings> About Phone> Status> Serial Number.
Product IMEI: You get it in Settings> About Phone> Status> IMEI.
Product ID: They get it with the "Huawei Product ID Generator" (the one that generated the program a while ago).
They place the Captcha that asks them for the page and they press Submit or Submit, they must give them the Code of Unlock for the Bootloader, they copy it in the scrapbook (that I suppose they must take).
Now go to Settings> About Phone and click on "Compilation" several times until the message "now you are a developer" is muted, you return to Settings and you will see the "Developer Options" tab, enter there, if the options are not active Of developer because they activate them, now they move a little down and activate "Depuracion USB".
Download the program "UNLOCK BOOTLOADER HUAWEI", Extract where you like, then connect your phone to the PC and run "UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER.bat".
Already the rest is eaten, just follow the instructions that will indicate the program, the ADB & HiSuite Drivers will be installed (At most, they will only have to accept the terms, press next and finish), the Telephone will restart a few Sometimes do not worry or despair do not panic, it will be normal to restart.
When they have unlocked the Bootloader they can disconnect the Phone from the PC and turn it off.
Now let's check that everything went well, we kept pressing "Vol-" and at the same time we connected it to the PC, they will see a white screen with some letters (that is the Fastboot mode), and if they see the text "PHONE UNLOCKED" Congratulations, you have unlocked the bootloader correctly.
Make a beer, a soda, a Pau-Pau or Commit a Bread to celebrate, but do not get so excited because this is only the beginning, we still have a way to go, but certainly This is the most important step of all, Since without having the Bootloader unlocked it is not at all advisable to make Root to the phone, to install a recovery or to install a custom Rom, Those that use KingRoot for that after that they appear rare errors to them and even it damages them the telephone.

<<< CONVERT L23 IN L21 >>>
(If they already reached this step means that they are already Pros .... hahahaha not true, they believed it!, Keep reading!)
At this point what we will do first is to install the Recovery TWRP and make the Wipes Complete with the purpose of Erase the system and leave the Phone blank to make a Installation much Cleaner and without possible errors. To do this we follow the following instructions:
PS: They can install the Twrp that like V2 or V3, the procedures are the same, only slightly changes the interface.
Instructions for both versions:
Download INSTALAR RECOVERY TWRP (V2 or V3) HUAWEI P8 LITE.rar
Download adb-setup-1.4.3.rar
Unzip adb-setup-1.4.3.rar and run the program. (This is to install adb drivers and the pc can detect the terminal.)
You will see a blue console screen, type "and" or "accept" at all and close the window. If you ask them to restart the pc, do it and that's it.
Start your Phone in Fastboot mode; Switch off the phone and press the "vol-" key and without releasing it connect it to the PC until the Fastboot screen appears.
Unzip "INSTALL RECOVERY TWRP (V2 or V3) HUAWEI P8 LITE.rar" and execute the file "INSTALL RECOVERY TWRP (V2 or V3) HUAWEI P8 LITE.bat" and follow the steps.
It will not take more than 5 minutes just to press ENTER.
Turn off Cell Phone and Start in Recovery Mode TWRP (Vol + & Power), Press WIPE, Advanced Wipe and make the complete wipes:
You must dial:
Dalvik
Cache
Data
Internal storage
System
IMPORTANT !: Do not check "micro sdcard".
Go back to Menu, press Reboot, and then Bootloader.

Once the above is done correctly, we continue to move our P8 Lite L23 to L21, I recommend you remove your SD Card and SIM Card as a precaution. Follow the instructions:
Download "FlashRom C432B052 (Lollipop 5.0, EMUI 3.1) Dual Sim Transition", extract it wherever you like, start your phone in Fastboot mode, connect it to the PC, execute the file "FLASH-ALL.bat" (do not execute it with permissions Administrator), and follow the instructions given to you by the program.
When the process ends, the phone will start with the new system, if you go to "About the phone" it will say "Balong". To remove that you must install Step2.
Download "Step2", extract it, look for the file "UPDATE.APP" and copy it to the "DLOAD" folder of your SD Card, if you do not have it then create it. (It is clear that you must first insert the SD into the phone).
Then go to Settings> Updater> Menu> Local Update and select the UPDATE.APP (Step2). The phone will restart, the installation will begin and wait for it to finish. When you start the system and check in "About the phone" you will no longer say Balong, but L21.
After this it is recommended to do a factory reset, first remove your SD card, then go to "Settings> Security> Backup and Restore" or type in the search bar of "Backup and Restore" settings, press "Reset factory data "Check" Clear internal memory ", click on" Reset "and wait for the process to finish. If for some reason "Failed" does not worry, it only restarts, the cell will have been reset anyway, do not worry if you do not have a signal or it does not detect the SIM, that is fixed by installing the next update.
Congratulations, you've already passed your cel to L21!

<<< UPDATE ANDROID 6 OFFICIAL >>>
The update order is as follows: "B052> B560> B564> B574> B584> B594> B596> B598> or" B552> B570> B560> B560> B564> B574> B584> B594> B596> B598 ".
Being already in the B052 we only have to download the following Compilations and go updating via local:
"B552> B570> B560> B564> B594> B594> B594> B596> B598 'or' B552> B570> B560> I recommend that for every update they make, make a factory reset to avoid possible errors, this is optional after all, I only make the recommendation from their own experience.
Download the B170, extract the files, Copy the UPDATE.APP to the DLOAD folder of your SD, go to Settings> Updater> Menu> Local Update and select the UPDATE.APP, the phone will restart, the installation will begin and wait for To finish.
Now on the B170, Repeat the previous step to install the B550 or B560 Compilation. (Depending on the order of updating mentioned above, that works best for them or decide to take)
Now when they are in the B560 we go to the B564 but the option of "Local Update" will no longer appear, so we have 2 options to carry out the update: (they should already have the UPDATE: APP previously copied in the DLOAD, The update.app is always due to copying to Dload there is no other):
Option 1:
Write the following code in the calls app "* # * # 2846579 # * # *" ​​(without quotes obviously).
The famous hidden menu will appear, click on "Software Upgrade"> "SDCard Upgrade"> you will receive an "Are you Sure" message, press OK, start the update and wait for it to finish.
Option 2:
While the Cel is off or on, press the keys (Vol-, Vol +, Power) until you see the update screen and wait for the process to finish.
And that would be Todo, Felicidades ya habras updated Your phone to Android 6!
If you've already come up here means you're half Pro.

Im trying to use huawei product id generator but I always get this message in unlock page
I tried with c8812 and Y300-000 and all have the same results.
ALE-L21
Please make sure the verification code and model number are correct. If your device has multiple IMEIs or MEIDs, please try another IMEI or MEID.

Bricked p10, need help.

So I have a p10, and decided to see what i could do with it. Having little experience, I managed to get somewhere. Unlocked the bootloader, got twrp, installed it with the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and got:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (32034 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.012s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.200s]
finished. total time: 1.222s
WOOT! Awesome! No problems! Then I issued: fastboot boot recovery.img
And got
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.020s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.030s
WTF?!
So after a bit, I misread and flashed boot.img with: fastboot flash boot boot.img
I guess I flashed the wrong image. I dunno. But now it boots into the screen that tells me "Your device is unlocked and can'r be trusted" tells me its booting, reboots, goes to the same screen again, says its rebooting again, then brings me to Huawei eRecovery. I connect to my wifi network, telling it to download the latest version and recover, and it says "getting package info failed" So I ma stuck with a device that won't boot.
Oh yes, and down volume and power don't bring me to fastboot anymore.
Begging for help here please.

Do the whole rebranding to unbrick, not sure if you flashed wrong image on boot.
Advice: When flashing recovery boot it by powering off and using key combo. Or adb command. Not from fastboot as IMG.

I did a google search on rebranding to unbrick, and found a guide on the 9. So I assume its similar. It first tests me to boot into twrp. I can't. Twrp never got installed. The next step is to get the offical firmware and put it on the SD card. I can't find it. I am in Canada, and can't find any firmware for canada, nevermind anything north american. It is however possible I have found the wrong guide, as I don't really know what I am doing. As a complete noob, links to guides would be nice when possible and available when making recommendations.

The guide is the same for Mate 9/pro and P10/plus
Original: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Explained as easy as posible:
Unlock bootloader (check again that boot loader is unlocked)
Download Update ZIP. I suggest rebrand to VTR-L29 C432 !
A. Get ROM update link through hwmt.ru. Click "filelist.xml". ---> http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=VTR-L29&firmware_page=0
B. Observe "update.zip" size, choose more than 1GB file size FULL OTA . Example VTR-L29C432B164 filelist Link, all three update files and path are in the filelist.xml content.
update.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "update.zip" download file.
update_data_public.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "public/update_data_full_public.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_data_public.zip"
update_all_hw.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "hw/spcseas/update_full_hw_spcseas.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_all_hw.zip" Where spcseas is the model of the file you are downoloading.
Update Package (Download these at original post)
Base: HWOTA_2017050101_Base.zip
OS: Windows -> HWOTA_2017050101_Windows.zip
Model: P10 -> HWOTA_2017050201_VTR.zip [Thanks to @crucky verify]
Put HWOTA on pc desktop and on your external SD card (if you have one, otherwise update process will took a couple of minutes more)
Those 3 downloaded files goes on UPDATE dir, inside HWOTA
Run batch file "update.bat" for same model update or rebrand with/without sdcard.
Select rebrand chose what model is desired (Must be the same as the update package)
Always check the process continues (Sometimes it stucks on twrp or need reconnect to PC)
Once finished Factory default reset will start
Do the process twice! select "Same model update" on the second time.
After update successfully, device might be locked again.

okay, i know you are trying to be helpful, but I just can't follow it...
You said "Download Update ZIP. I suggest rebrand to VTR-L29 C432 !" Which one of them? Is the B just a build number, and I should get the latest? please remember, you are talking to a noob.
You talk about 3 files, update.zip, update_data_public.zip and update_all_hw.zip Do I need them all? If so the last one, where I change filelist.xml to all /cn/update_full_all_cn.zip doesn't work. See the following link http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/.../v92067/f2/full/all/cn/update_full_all_cn.zip
Also, rename the file, "Where spcseas is the model of the file you are downoloading" Huh? I know I have to replace the word spcseas with something, but with that?
Now it says to run update.bat Whats the point? I have not been directed to plug the phone into the computer, and even if I did, the computer won't recognize it because I can't get it into any mode... Where do I put these files? They all go in the same directory? I just can't follow this guide as much as I try..
THERE IS GOOD NEWS HOWEVER!
I have been able to get it into TWRP! This means I can get into fastboot, which means I can re-flash the correct boot.img, IF I can get my hands on it (and assuming that's the actual issue It likely is. It was working until I flashed this other boot.img file.). So if I can get direction on how to get it, I should be okay. Double triple and quadruple bonus points for just providing me a direct link to the boot.img file to use without having to play around trying to follow guides I can't seem to understand.
UPDATE!!
Now although I can get into TWRP, its hit and miss, but I can get there eventually, it will no longer boot into fastboot/recovery. When I click reboot, and choose bootloader in TWRP, it just freezes..
This is getting frustrating. Apparently getting into the bootloader is hit and miss, but i can do it.

Search for Huawei update extractor in order to get BOOT.IMG from update.app (inside update zip) I could upload one myself, but I'm not at home right now.
TWRP doesn't support reboot atm. You must power off completly. To boot to recovery press power on and vol + until huawei logo appears, then relase power. It should boot to recovery TWRP in this case.
For boot bootloader you press vol - when you are connecting usb cable to PC.

The guide is the same for Mate 9/pro and P10/plus
Original: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
Explained as easy as posible:
Unlock bootloader (check again that boot loader is unlocked)
Download Update ZIP. I suggest rebrand to VTR-L29 C432 !
A. Get ROM update link through hwmt.ru. Click "filelist.xml". ---> http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=VTR-L29&firmware_page=0
B. Observe "update.zip" size, choose more than 1GB file size FULL OTA . Example VTR-L29C432B164 filelist Link, all three update files and path are in the filelist.xml content.
update.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "update.zip" download file.
update_data_public.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "public/update_data_full_public.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_data_public.zip"
update_all_hw.zip: Change URL last "filelist.xml" to "hw/spcseas/update_full_hw_spcseas.zip" download file, and rename it to "update_all_hw.zip" Where spcseas is the model of the file you are downoloading.
Update Package (Download these at original post)
Base: HWOTA_2017050101_Base.zip
OS: Windows -> HWOTA_2017050101_Windows.zip
Model: P10 -> HWOTA_2017050201_VTR.zip [Thanks to @crucky verify]
Put HWOTA on pc desktop and on your external SD card (if you have one, otherwise update process will took a couple of minutes more)
Those 3 downloaded files goes on UPDATE dir, inside HWOTA
Run batch file "update.bat" for same model update or rebrand with/without sdcard.
Select rebrand chose what model is desired (Must be the same as the update package)
Always check the process continues (Sometimes it stucks on twrp or need reconnect to PC)
Once finished Factory default reset will start
Do the process twice! select "Same model update" on the second time.
After update successfully, device might be locked again.

Thats good to know. I was getting TWRP more often when I did it from off. What was happening was I would holds power and volume up, release power when the logo appeared, and MOST of the time I would boot into TWRP. Sometimes it would just reboot, I would continue to hold up, and it would either reboot, or boot into TWRP. Occasionally I would get the recovery that came with the phone ?!?!
In any event, I managed to get into TWRP, boot into recovery, extract the boot.img, flash it... AND IT WORKED! Phone booted!
So after all this, I backed up EVERYTHING I could using TWRP. The Boot partition, System partition, EVERYTHING! It kept failing on the Data partition, but from my research that wasn't that important anyway. I then installed SuperRoot_noverity_nocrypt.zip, rebooted, installed phh's SuperUser, installed Root Checker, and finally, I have root!!
Thank you so much for the help. About to go "thank clicking" for all the help you provided.

Unlock Bootloader, Even without code!

--- Please don't quote this entire post ---
I have, with the help of two people who's XDA I don't know, just unlocked an Honor 9 Lite without an unlock code!:angel: The method follows:
Initial revision
0. Prepare adb and fastboot. On windows, change all
Code:
fastboot
commands to
Code:
.\fastboot
and similarly for
Code:
adb
(skip to step 2 if you have the June 2018 patch or earlier)
1a. Downgrade firmware to 8.0.0.xxx (June patch) via androidhost.ru - search for your device, get a C432 version.
1b. Downgrade, instructions are in the 'ReleaseDoc' folder. Use the forced install method
(do not reboot the phone until step 3a is complete)
2a. Enter
Code:
fastboot
2b. Enter powershell or terminal and type:
Code:
fastboot oem hwdog certify begin;fastboot oem get-product-model
2c. Send the result to @huaweihax telegram group or in this thread (telegram will have faster response times)
2d. We will send you your slock when we gets a chance. Please be patient, we have real lives. Download it on the same pc as you have fastboot on.
2e. Copy the slock to your working directory
2f. Type in your shell:
Code:
fastboot flash slock <slock_filename>
(Download twrp on the pc that has fastboot, copy to working directory)
3a.
Code:
fastboot flash erecovery_ramdisk <twrp filename>
3b. Read step 3c and 3d
3c.
Code:
fastboot reboot
3d. Hold volume up AFTER the phone vibrates
3e. Twrp should boot up. If not, reboot it and try 3d again
(Each reboot until step 4 is complete, you will restart step 4)
4a. Connect usb
4b.
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/nvme of=/tmp/nvme
4c.
Code:
adb pull /tmp/nvme
You may now reboot the device, if you want.
5a. Open the nvme file in a hex editor. Find 'FBLOCK' in the file. There should be '8' shortly before the fblock. Move down exactly one line from '8' and you will see 01. Change that to 00 and repeat for all instances of fblock in the file. Save the file.
5c.
Code:
adb push nvme /tmp/nvme
5d.
Code:
adb shell dd if=/tmp/nvme of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/nvme
6. Reboot!
CONGRATS! YOUR DEVICE IS NOW UNLOCKED!
Latest revision:
0. Prepare adb and fastboot. On windows, change all fastboot commands to ./fastboot and similarly for adb
Skip to step 2 if you have the June 2018 patch or earlier
1a. Downgrade firmware to June patch via androidhost.ru - search for your device, any C number should work.
1b. Downgrade, instructions are in the 'ReleaseDoc' folder. Use the forced install method
2a. Enter fastboot
2b. DO NOT REBOOT THE PHONE UNTIL STEP 3a is complete!!! Failing to follow this will result in anger!
2c. Enter powershell or terminal and type:
Code:
fastboot oem hwdog certify begin;fastboot oem get-product-model;fastboot oem get-build-number
2c. Send the result in the telegram group @huaweiHax (link to the public group is at the start of the channel), or, if that's entirely impossible, PM @OldDroid on XDA.
2d. A nice guy will send you your slock. Please be patient, they have real lives. Download it on the same pc as you have fastboot on.
2e. Copy the slock to your working directory
2f.
Code:
fastboot flash slock <slock_filename>
(Download twrp on the pc that has fastboot, copy to working directory)
3a.
Code:
fastboot flash erecovery_ramdisk <twrp filename>
3b. Read step 3c and 3d
3c.
Code:
fastboot reboot
3d. Hold volume up AFTER the phone vibrates
3e. Twrp should boot up. If not, reboot it and try 3d again
4a. Connect usb
4b.
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/nvme of=/tmp/nvme
4c.
Code:
adb pull /tmp/nvme
WARNING: FOLLOW THESE STEPS VERY CAREFULLY AND DOUBLE-CHECK EVERYTHING!
5a. Open the nvme file with a hex editor. Repeat step 5b until you have done all the instances of FBLOCK.
5b. Search the file for FBLOCK. For each instance, you should see the character 8 shortly before. Go down exactly one line from the 8. Select the .. You should see 01 become highlighted in the hex area. Change the 01 to 00 and repeat 6 more times (7 in total). Save the file as nvmepatched
5c.
Code:
adb push nvmepatched /tmp/nvme
5d.
Code:
adb shell dd if=/tmp/nvme of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/nvme
6. Reboot!
CONGRATS! YOUR DEVICE IS NOW UNLOCKED!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Files you might find useful:
nvme.zip: a twrp flashable zip that automates step 5 of the instructions. I have tested it and it works fine for me. If TWRP crashes and restarts, that's fine, but idk why it happens. If it happens to you, please send /tmp/recovery.log to me in pm or here, or in telegram
autoroot.zip: a zip file containing a python script and related files to automatically unlock Huawei's. To use it, put a twrp file called 'twrp-kirin.img' in the 'files' subfolder. I cannot upload that file due to XDA file size restrictions.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=285583: thanks to @mrmazak, this is a windows batch tool version of autoroot.zip

In the attached photos you will see correct and incorrect converted "slock files"
When you follow the guide from above. Between 2-C and 2-D.
If the you get just a long string of letters and numbers (512 characters to be exact). That string of numbers it that state is "text" it needs to be "HEX". , to do this there are command line tools to do it. But it can be done in a user friendly way in a hex editor program. But this needs to done as hex and not text. The photos show both examples.
In the correct edited photo the long string is written to the left side (the hex area)
In the incorrect edited photo the long string is written to the right side (the text area).
SLOCK CONVERSION
FOR command line use
Copy the long string of text as regular txt file NO EXTRA SPACES -- for this example name it slock.txt
Command line code for linux: Needs "XDD" It should already be installed on most systems.(inside VIM)
Code:
cat slock.txt | xxd -r -p > binary-slock.bin
Command line code for Windows: Needs "XDD.exe" It canbe found inside VIM http://www.vim.org/
Code:
type slock.txt | xxd.exe -r -p > binary-slock.bin
NVME EDITS
Linux terminal
Code:
sed 's/\x46 \x42 \x4C \x4F \x43 \x4B \x00 \x00 \x01 \x00 \x00 \x00 \x01/\x46 \x42 \x4C \x4F \x43 \x4B \x00 \x00 \x01 \x00 \x00 \x00 \x00/g' nvme > temp
Windows cmd version needs GNU-SED
OR
reg-expression-tool LIKE "jrepl.bat" (one of my favorite little tools)
Code:
files\JREPL.BAT "\x46\x42\x4C\x4F\x43\x4B\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x01" "\x46\x42\x4C\x4F\x43\x4B\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00" /m /x /f modified-nvme /o -
Scripted method
Windows batch file tool
Use newest version in the folder. And allow tool to update, when first ran.

There's no c185 dloadfirmware, so try c432. It may fail the install, it might not. I just don't know.

Again, try another firmware like c432 or c00, but it all depends on whether the dload works or not. If it doesn't install, you'll have to find one that does. If it installs you'll be ok. Just flash the correct model firmware after completing the exploit

Slock and rescue_recovery can be flashed without unlocking. Don't ask me why, ask Wavei.
