I've been looking for a way to change my A2's splash screen for a while. Tried using tools available for other Mi devices such as GokulNC's Redmi Note 5 toolkit (https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...guide-how-to-change-boot-logo-splash-t3787820) and they worked for replacing the splash screen, but the fastboot image (Xiaomi bunny) was broken in the process, leaving fastboot mode only with a black screen. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and voilà, managed to change both splash images. In this guide I'll explain how.
Edit: since posting this I've made a simple cmd script for automatically generating the splash.img. For the old tutorial check out this post's edit history.
Prerequisites:
Mi A2 with unlocked bootloader
Windows machine with working fastboot executable
Tutorial:
Download a2 splash generator.zip from this post and extract it to its own folder
Replace the .bmp files with the desired images
1.bmp is the default splash logo that shows up when you boot your device
2.bmp is the image for fastboot mode
3.bmp can be left alone as its probably unused (the unlocked warning is now baked into the bootloader itself)
4.bmp is the splash logo with unlocked padlock. You probably should make it a duplicate of 1.bmp
Run generate_splash.cmd. It will make newsplash.img in the same folder
Put your phone in fastboot mode and run the command
Code:
fastboot flash splash newsplash.img
You may now reboot the phone and check the your all new splash and fastboot screens!
If it doesn't work, make sure the resolution of your BMPs is 1080x2160 and save them in Paint as 24 bit bitmap files. Then run generate_splash.cmd and flash the image again.
with this guide you can remove the message that the bootloader is unlocked?

Na u can not. Unlocked bootloader message is shown from boot loader itself.
To anyone is using a UNIX or UNIX like OS, to generate the image just run
Code:
cat header.img 1.bmp empty.img 2.bmp 3.bmp 4.bmp empty.img > splash.img
Awesome! I was just looking for that. After swaping roms from MIUI to AO I lost my fastboot logo and it was only showing a black screen, Thanks!
In case someone wants to grab the original image files:
Code:
dd skip=16384 count=6998454 ibs=1 if=splash.img of=1.bmp
dd skip=7014840 count=6220854 ibs=1 if=splash.img of=2.bmp
dd skip=13235694 count=6998454 ibs=1 if=splash.img of=3.bmp
dd skip=20234148 count=6998454 ibs=1 if=splash.img of=4.bmp
The generated image matches with 10.0.2.0 stock's splash.img (MD5: EE57036E7626DA5DEFC276F428D7FBE9).
Files are attached.
EDIT: The unlocked bootloader warning is not stored in splash.img (run fastboot erase splash and see yourself), modifying this will not change that
I was waiting for this to create my own bootanimation. I want to share that with you guys if possible.
should i post a reply here or create an other thread(m not familiar with rules). Before this all i have done is explore xda
The bootanimation is of goku (complete UI) though!

Delete 3.bmp and 4.bmp, run the tool, and it works. Even the stock splash, the one I backup from my device, break xiaomi bunny.
EDIT: lmao i know why mine wont work, because i do the steps incorrectly. you don't have to delete 3 and 4 bmp. but if this post helps you anyway then okay

Do you know since when it changed this way? Is it possible to use an older bootloader to avoid the unlocked warning?

Sooo after few hours playing with hex editor (and actually figuring how to read those hex), I figured out how to do it for 6x! Turns out the composition of the 6x splash is header+logo+fastboot+corrupt+logo-unlocked, rather different than a2 which has 2 bytes of empty file in between logos. Oh, AND for 6x it uses 1080x1920 24bit bmp instead of 1080x2160, idk why
I edited the generator script from op, you can download it below, and how to do it is exactly the same except it has to be 1080x1920 24bit bmp
If OP would take the file to the first page so it's easier to find, it'd be delightful

I tried in mi6x(converted mia2) but even if I change 4 files with different images only 1.bmp shows in booting and fastboot is black

Huh, weird, you guys on relocked bootloader? I'm sure when it boots it shows 4.bmp, not 1.bmp. Or is your device native 6x (not a2 converted)? It works on my converted a2, but I'll look to it. Maybe it does need empty file.

I would like to request users to post all there boot images in a single thread for all other users. and i would also request a boot image that is the Gucci and FBI boot image modded for mytouch that is available in the dream forum, i can post them if you can't find coz with those images i can make a perfect boot ROM(special Hero) highly modded and highly cool if anybody can mod the images for my touch or just use the name magic. with that if done i can make a secure and cool hero ROM that will run as fast as cyanogen's and Good boot and graphics
This is updated with the latest tool. (Windows)
I included a zip with all files you may need at the bottom of the post.
1. Turn off your phone
2. Turn on the phone into bootloader (camera+power).
Make sure it say fastboot in the middle if not hit back and it should appear-
3. Make sure your device is found in device manger
If you don't see adb device up top in device manger find the yellow mark devices
Right Click, update driver, and point to the location of the USB Driver
(http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip)
4. Open and extract the below zip to your desktop
You should now have a custom and fastboot folder on your desktop
5. Open up a dos window (start>run>CMD)
6. Type cd desktop then cd fastboot
7. If you would not like to flash the sample images skip to step 9
8. copy and paste the command line by line
fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565
fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565
fastboot reboot
Part 2 Making your own images
9. Open up the "create" folder
10. Run CreateG1Splash.exe
11. Open up your image in the program and click convert
12. Go to the folder of your images and their you will find mysplash.rgb565
13. Place the mysplash.rgb565 into the fastboot folder
14. copy and paste the command line by line
fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565
fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565 (maybe the mytouch or magic spl does not have splash2 partition. dont panic if it gives any error. it cannot brick the phone)
fastboot reboot
i just copied it from the dream forum so credits to them
Here are the boot images to be edited
I finally found the images on my hard drive, so here they are. Can anybody replace G1 with mytouch
Right, so here's what I boot to =)
Andy and Astroboy my 2 favorite androids!
Nice! How do you change the boot screen?
Using fastboot
We can change the using fastboot and boot images tool, ican upload it if requested
Here's mine. I included the .jpg and the .rgb565 file for easy use, if anyone would want it.
if u can upload that it would be nice. i wanna try to mamke a nice boot screen. if u have some tutorial on how to make the glow also would be nice, sorry im still new to this as mytouch is my first android phone.
Here's one for ya
myBoot.zip has both a jpg and the raw565 file. Enjoy
edit: Also decided to add the original boot image that spawned this - myOriginalBoot.zip
edit: I finally got that peeing Andy working on this thing! framework-res.apk attached. You need to do the following:
Update your 32b phone to Cyanogen 4.1.2.1
Unzip framework-res.apk from the framework-apk.zip attachment
From a shell, run:
adb remount
adb push /path/to/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework.apk
Now reboot your phone and enjoy your custom boot splash followed by the animation of Andy peeing on an apple that looks suspiciously familiar.
Note - I take no credit for the images you see here. I simply compiled them into boot screens for your enjoyment.
Here is mine... my first try at Adobe CS4 Fireworks... haha
Here is mine (for now)
Can anybody please change the names in these images
Charnsingh - Try these
I put these together in like 5 minutes, so if you want me to change something or if it's not quite perfect, let me know and I'm happy to correct.
Enjoy!
BTW - nice work on the Debian installer, got it running on my myTouch right now and I can't get over having LXDE on my phone
edit - I just noticed the FBI screen had Dream written on it, so you'll notice I made some adjustments to that graphic as well.
For the lxde just install vnc viewer from the market then start debian. After that go to vnc after sometime and input the values given and you Will be running lxde. Have any problem pm me. Thanks for the edit I will throw on a Gucci FBI Rom tomorrow. Just gimme your name and I will make a special one for you (with login and pass)
maybe i may just give the files coz i cant keep on updating each and every hero ROM, and people it will be universal, can be used on any hero ROM. I will create a one click file for windows and mac(you must have adb set up) and one for the phone. Files will be build.conf, the edited system files, the sound files, some image files and sim tracker app from market if you would like that. The editing will not affect the speed, i can also make a speedu script for hero as i have done for my phone which needs to be run every time you flash a hero ROM, just message me
flash troubles...
how long does it take to flash the new splash screen??? my cmd is sitting at sending 'splash1' <300kb>...
and not moving--- anyways i have another question..
there is HBOOT and FASTBOOT...
when im in FASTBOOT it says sending 'splash1' <300kb>... FAILED <remote: not allow>
when im in HBOOT it just sits at sending 'splash1' <300kb>...until i close or do something else to stop it... i let it sit for 20 min--- no way in hell should it take that long
It never takes more than a second for me...
ok so im not sure why i keep getting remote: not allow any help out there?
What SPL are you using? Search the forum for how to root your myTouch.
I have tried over and over to install the USB driver and it will not install. Im running Win7. Is this my issue and how can I get the driver to work so I can run FastBoot?

Did you successfully flash this via TWRP?
Sent from my Motorola XT1563 using XDA Labs
Quick question, can our phones have boot sounds??
Note:
This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the 'Mi' boot logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)
This is for Redmi 2/2S Prime or Redmi 3/3S/3X/Pro Only..
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.
Requirements:
1. Rooted Redmi 2/2S Prime or Redmi 3/3S/3X/Pro (any ROM)
2. Optional: Terminal Emulator app or Custom Recovery or atleast working fastboot in computer
3. You're proceeding at your own risk.
STEPS to create splash.img:
Before proceeding, make sure fastboot is setup properly in your computer (just incase something goes wrong)..
1. Download & Extract this in computer: Redmi_2,3_Splash_Maker.zip
2. Make sure you have a 720x1280 resolution picture.
3. Now rename your picture as logo.png or logo.jpg (according to its format) & replace it inside "pics" folder of the extracted folder.
(Similarly you can also change fastboot.png if you wish to change the picture of fastboot)
4. Finally, run the 'Create_Logo.bat' to create splash.img , which you can find inside the "output" folder.
STEPS to flash splash.img:
Optional: To backup your original splash.img:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash of=/sdcard/splash.img
(Not necessary though.. You may get it from the stock firmware itself.)
Now, Choose any one easy method:
a. To flash from recovery:
Transfer the flashable_splash.zip to your device and flash from TWRP or CWM or Philz or any other custom recovery.
b. To flash from Terminal Emulator:
Transfer the splash.img to your device's Internal Storage, Open Terminal Emulator & enter the following to flash it:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/splash.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash
c. To flash from Fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
Note:
Incase something goes wrong or device doesn't bootup, flash the stock splash.img from custom recovery or fastboot.

You're welcome to post the splash images that you created..
very nice you came up with some output. i tried lots of things but zero success.
BTW I made something here for myself in ms paint
Get those images from attachments below. Believe me, it looks awesome.
Also, it will be good if you add adb shell guide too for flashing with dd
Wow, I was really looking forward to this thing!!!
Guys, I have a request if this has been tested by you to be working, can you please port the awesome batman bootlogo here, over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/bootlogo-awesome-batman-bootlogo-t3264750
.
Maybe you can also edit the image to contain a small MI logo (only for people who want it, not me xD) .

Hope this can be achieved - I'd be dammed

This is my antitheft image :v
I hope it is useful to avoid stock firmware reset in case of a theft (Yeah, this happens a lot here, thieves are getting smart)
So it is basically a super joke
The first picture tells who owns it, address, email and phone (in case of a simple loss), it indicates that the GPS is on and working (fake :v) and displays a warning that the device is monitored.
Second one is the best

Note:
This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the 'Huawei' boot logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)
This is for Huawei P8 Lite 2017 Only.. (Resolution 1080x1920)
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.
Requirements:
1. Rooted Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (any ROM)
2. Optional: Terminal Emulator app or Custom Recovery or atleast working fastboot in computer
3. You're proceeding at your own risk.
Use this tool and instructions:
Huawei OEM_logo Changer
Note: Use a 1080x1920 pic, as .bmp file (in rgb565 format as specified in that post)
Old method:
STEPS to create boot logo:
1. Download & Extract this in computer: Huawei_P8_Lite_2017_Logo_Maker.zip
2. Make sure you have a picture in BMP format with resolution exactly 1080x1920px. (Can be of any format)
3. Now rename your picture as logo.bmp & replace it inside "pics" folder of the extracted folder. (Or directly edit the 'logo.bmp' file)
4. Finally, run the 'CREATE_LOGO.bat' to create oeminfo.img and flashable zip file, which you can find inside the "output" folder after completion.
STEPS to flash boot logo:
Steps to backup your oeminfo.img:
Open Terminal Emulator, type the following command to save your stock oeminfo.img to your Internal Storage:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo of=/sdcard/oeminfo_stock.img
Now, choose any one easy method to install:
a. To flash from recovery:
Transfer the flashable_logo.zip to your device and flash from TWRP or CWM or Philz or any other custom recovery.
b. To flash from Terminal Emulator:
Transfer the oeminfo.img to your device's Internal Storage, Open Terminal Emulator & enter the following to flash it:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/oeminfo.img of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo
c. To flash from Fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot flash oeminfo oeminfo.img
Finally, Reboot and check if the bootlogo has changed!!
Note:
Incase something goes wrong or device doesn't bootup, just flash the stock oemlogo.img from custom recovery or fastboot.

TESTING:
@CrimsonBloodfang
1. Can you please check if this tool is working??
2. Please check if flashing the zip from custom recovery works.
3. Please attach your 'oeminfo' partition backup. I guess it might have the logo inside it (if the above procedure doesn't work)
4. Are there different variants of P8 Lite like P8lite 2017 , etc. ?

1. I am able to create a new "oemlogo.mbn" and a "flashable_logo.zip" through your tool but unfortunately the stock boot logo of Huawei still shows up in every reboot, after using the two files.
2. The zip file works in TWRP Recovery and was flashed without errors but the stock boot logo still shows upon reboot then after rebooting, I checked /product/etc/logo/ and the stock oemlogo.mbn was not replaced with the new one.
3. Here is the oeminfo.img backup, by using this command in a terminal emulator
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo of=/sdcard/oeminfo.img
and this one is the raw file itself. I only used two out of three methods of backing up the oeminfo partition based from this thread because I was unsure as to where in TWRP Recovery should I find the backup for oeminfo partition since it only has the options Boot, Cache, Data, System and Vendor for backup. Maybe in the "Vendor" partition, but the backup size is 394 MB.
4. I'm not sure for the variants of Huawei P8 Lite, maybe only Huawei P8 Lite (2017) and the ones on the "download section" in this link? If you meant the Huawei P8 Lite (2017) variants, the ones I know are Huawei P8 Lite (2017) PRA-LX1, PRA-LX2, PRA-LX3, PRA-LA1 and PRA-TL00. I'm using the Huawei P8 Lite (2017) PRA-LX2.
I've also tried copy pasting the new oemlogo.mbn then changed it to the correct permissions (-rw-r--r--). I even tried renaming it to "oemlogo.mbn.bak" to see if there's any change but it seems that this file is not in control of the boot logo. We also have the boot warning logo too by the way, the one that is caused by unlocking the bootloader.
Here is my own logo.bmp boot logo, 1080x1920 resolution, edited through Gimp 2 and exported as .bmp file format.
Edit: Does anyone know where is the exact location for our boot logo files? I've also found the same oemlogo.mbn file on some folders in /product/hw_oem
@CrimsonBloodfang
The oeminfo.img file had the pictures as I guessed.
I have updated the OP with the new tool. Please check if it's working
Also, I think the files in the '/product/hw_oem/whatever' directory are created from the oemlogo partition while booting (not sure though).
So maybe using the old tool, setting the permissions for oemlogo.bin as -r--r--r-- might have worked (since write access is denied).
Edit:
As specified in GSMArena website, is it true that P8 Lite (2017) is also called Huawei P9 Lite (2017), Huawei Honor 8 Lite, Huawei Nova Lite, Huawei GR3 (2017) ???
If yes, this tool MIGHT work for those devices too.
Thanks! I will be testing it now.

Yes, it is called with different names from different countries and they are more or less, just the same devices.
In the Philippines, this phone is called the Huawei GR3 (2017).
Edit:
Maybe the users need to backup their own "oeminfo.img" first before using the tool and can you add it on OP? They might use my device's oeminfo.img if they forgot to backup and it might change their device's region settings then their stock updates would be based from my country.
I haven't rebranded my phone, just went straight to LineageOS 14.1 so I'm not sure about the consequences of flashing other oeminfo.
still not working for me. Now it's just booting into eRecovery and the logo was changed to the original one
@GokulNC
It also didn't work for me. I've tested it six or more times with both the Terminal Emulator and the TWRP Recovery flash method.
Edit:
The logo file in "pics" folder of the tool has a logo.png and not anymore a logo.bmp, so I tried both file formats just in case. I've tried replacing it with logo.bmp, I've tried replacing it with logo.png and I've tried placing both logo.bmp and logo.png together on the "pics" folder. Then flashed the six different files of oeminfo.img and flashable_logo.zip with Terminal Emulator and TWRP Recovery, but on every reboot, the boot logo is still at stock.
The only locations left I can guess as to where the boot logo files for Huawei P8 Lite (2017) are maybe in the Boot partition or it's embedded in the Kernel.
@CrimsonBloodfang
Actually there were many .bmp pics inside the oeminfo.img
I didn't look at that properly.
When I extracted them, I saw 2 bootlogo images.
So I've modified the tool to change them both.
Try the new tool that I've uploaded now and see if it's working
It should contain 2 files named logo1.png and logo2.png

I'm not sure if the oeminfo partition is same across all the different firmwares.
I guess they all must be the same. If you can attach your stock 'oemlogo.img', I'll take a look at it.

My tool automatically converts everything to .bmp format, so it doesn't matter

Ok, I've flashed the flashable_logo.zip using the new tool and it seems to work. Boot logo is not anymore the stock one but instead, it's replaced by a "glitched image" with a color green background and two rectangles with colors pink and blue, not the boot logo I made. Boot warning sign is still there afterwards though.
It may be a wrong procedure on my part because I just placed my logo.bmp together with the logo1.png and logo2.png but I will continue tinkering and testing it or have a lower file sized image to see if I can finally get the desired boot logo.
---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------
Also flashed my backup oeminfo.img through Terminal Emulator or TWRP Recovery and everything went back to normal.
@GokulNC
Tested it many times, boot logo always end up with the "glitched image" as attached below.
This is not the original image. Just an edited image through Gimp 2, for reference.

Does this arise after changing the logo2.png (or logo2.bmp)??
Is that the same output no matter what the logo2 is?
I mean, even for the default one that I've placed in pics folder or what you replaced with, is the output the same weird image??
FYI, ensure there are only 2 images in the pics folder while creating the oemlogo.img, ie, logo1.<whatever_format> and logo2.<whatever_format>

Yes, I've already tried different ways like replacing only the logo2.png or replace both images and also ensured there are two images in the pics folder.
I also tried using only the "default images" and did not replace anything in the pics folder, then flashed the newly created files and the resulting boot logo is still the glitched image.
Edit:
The image in this post is what the glitched image of the boot logo, actually looks like.

Note:
This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the 'Lenovo' boot logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)
This is for Huawei P8 Lite 2017 Only.. (Resolution 1080x1920)
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.
Requirements:
1. Rooted Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (any ROM)
2. Optional:Terminal Emulator app or Custom Recovery or atleast working fastboot in computer
3. You're proceeding at your own risk.
STEPS to create boot logo:
1. Download & Extract this in computer: Huawei_P8_Lite_2017_Logo_Maker.zip
2. Make sure you have a picture in BMP format with resolution exactly1080x1920px. (Can be of any format)
3. Now rename your picture as logo.bmp & replace it inside "pics" folder of the extracted folder. (Or directly edit the 'logo.bmp' file)
4. Finally, run the 'CREATE_LOGO.bat' to create oeminfo.img and flashable zip file, which you can find inside the "output" folder after completion.
STEPS to flash boot logo:
Choose any one easy method:
a. To flash from recovery:
Transfer the flashable_logo.zip to your device and flash from TWRP or CWM or Philz or any other custom recovery.
b. To flash from Terminal Emulator:
Transfer the oeminfo.img to your device's Internal Storage, Open Terminal Emulator & enter the following to flash it:
c. To flash from Fastboot mode:
Finally, Reboot and check if the bootlogo has changed!!
Note:
Incase something goes wrong or device doesn't bootup, just flash the stock oemlogo.img from custom recovery or fastboot.

Hi, sorry for my late reply. Got stuck up with something lately.
I have attached a new tool, with little changes.
Please check if it's working.
If it doesn't, I'm not sure what else to do.

Hi, did this work for you?
Thanks, I will be testing it later. I've also found out from another user that changing the boot logo using the tool, has stopped working in Nougat and Oreo.
Here is what he said, and this thread is also changing their Huawei device using the oeminfo partition.
Maybe you already know these?
@GokulNC
Tested it twice, it's still showing the glitched image.
My first attempt was replacing the logo2.png with another image as logo2.bmp. Flashed the files through TWRP Recovery, rebooted and the result is still the glitched image.
Second attempt was to not replace anything in the "pics" folder. Created the files, flashed them in TWRP Recovery, rebooted and the result is still the same.
I've been searching around xda forums for information about editing Huawei's oeminfo for its boot logo image and I noticed that their tutorials needs to follow a "specific RGB format" when editing the images to be used as a boot logo. (Bitmap file with color depth not less than 16 bit, supported color schemes: RGB555, RGB565, RGB888, RGB8888)
Although, I'm uncertain that this might be the cause of the problems and I haven't tried it yet.
- Follow any of the RGB formats to fix the problem.
I've only tried "RGB565" and "RGB888 with color depth of 24 bits".
On the other hand, seeing the "glitched image" as a boot logo, might just only be an indication of a corrupted oeminfo, when it's not properly recompiled or reconstructed?
Just to be sure, I'll place the links of the threads and posts, that I think might be useful for reference.
You might have already read these threads before.

Maybe you still get into fastboot mode, but screen is black due to corrupted splash partition? You can check that subj is in bootloader mode using "fastboot devices -l" from PC. If yes, you can reflash splash.img from 10.0.2.0 fastboot image.

Same as all other flashing via fastboot.
The only official fastboot image for Mi A2 AO Pie available yet is v10.0.2.0 PDIMIFJ and can be found at http://en.miui.com/download-353.html or https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824849.. Here in forum you can find hand-made variants of images for 10.0.3.0-10.0.7.0, but all these contain same image of splash partition as in official ROM (if any).
.TGZ and .TAR archives can be unpacked by 7z and many other programs.
Inside archive is directory called smth like "jasmine_global_images_V10.0.2.0.PDIMIFJ_9.0" containing the ready ROM image for fastboot flash.
Inside this directory there are several batch files, containing the same line for flashing splash partition:
Code:
fastboot flash splash %~dp0images\splash.img
Note that "splash.img" is foind in " \Images" subdirectory.
So, you will need:
1. Mi A2 with unlocked bootloader and critical partitions (search this forum on how to unlock) in bootloader mode, connected to USB 2.0 port in PC;
2. Working drivers and / ADB / fastboot installation.
3. "splash.img" copied into directory of working ADB / fastboot installation.
To check that requirement (1) and (2) are fulfilled, run CMD shell in directory of working ADB / fastboot installation and type
Code:
fastboot devices
If output list contains the only 1 string with ID of device (same as shown by "ADB devices -l" command in normal MTP file transfer mode), you are ready to type in commands:
Code:
fastboot flash splash .\splash.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
You are supposed to see the 'bunny' after phone reboots to bootloader mode once again. To reboot back to system just use "fastboot reboot"
If above is not helpful, bring phone to service

thanks for you information. my device is locked. when i try to peform fastboot devices , it shows me a error saying application was unable to start correctly.
1. Search for guides how to install ADB drivers and use fastboot, and study these
2. Search here for guides how to unlock bootloader and critical of Mi A2
Nobody will move your fingers except you.

thanks for your information.
My devices is locked(bootloader). and fastboot isn't showing up. now tell me how do i flash spalsh file?
1. Is phone working and the only problem is black screen in fastboot mode?
If phone is bricked, just bring it to service or somebody who knows what to do.
Following is what you could have already found in guides I was suggesting to find and study
2. Prepare everything for unlocking in phone:
2.1. Get "developer rights"
2.2 Allow "USB debugging" and "OEM unlocking" in developer options
3. Have you get acquainted with ADB drivers installation and ADB commands and fastboot commands?
Can you see result of "adb devices -l" command in CMD shell when phone is attached to USB-2.0 port with MTP file transfer enabled?
If no, just bring it to service or somebody who knows what to do.
4. Can you see result of "fastboot devices -l" command in CMD shell when phone is attached to USB-2.0 port in what is supposed to be bootloader mode with black screen?
If no, just bring it to service or somebody who knows what to do.
5.. If yes, and device ID is the same as in result of "adb devices -l" command
6. Unlock bootloader and critical (see guides here in Mi A2 threads), it takes 2 commands and 2 reboots
7. Reflash splash.img as stated above in my 1st message
Nobody here can repair your phone, - only you or service. So I won't write more here.
