Atm there is no Option for this. You can only press the PowerButton one time then he loads faster.
But i dont know a Option to remove this. Sorry

maybe future custom roms will include the removal of that screen, it is indeed somewhat annoying

That screen cant be removed its in the bootloader. The nexus 5x and 6p also have it.

I'll make that decrypted boot.img into a flashable TWRP zip file tonight so you can just flash it in TWRP instead of having to use Fastboot.

Yeah, thats right you have to download with mobilephone (chrome works for me).
If someone can upload it anywhere?! That would be nice. I can send the boot.img for upload - googledrive for example - i dont have this ****

i dont understand why it only works via a mobile browser, hm.... especially since im using the share links provided on my laptop

Update B181 to android 6.0

Hello
I have the p8 lite ALE-21FRAC530B181 with android version 5.0.1, and the EMUI is 3.1.1
I want to upgrade it to android 6.0 but when I start the installation, I have an error message right away. I used the file provided here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/guide-huawei-p8-lite-downgrade-to-5-0-t3381013
and here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994
So I tried to update to B188 first, but I had the same problem.
I unlocked the bootloader, so maybe the issue come from there. Also it is not simlock
any help will be welcome
Thanks

So according to this tuto https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994.
I have to unbricked the phone before convert into dual sim.
But when I launch minimal ADB and fastboot and enter this lines of code :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
I have the message "waiting for devices" but I have already installed hisuite so I should have all the driver installed. I unlock the bootloader too. When I go in fastboot mod, there is "phone unlock" written.
What can I do ?

Your pc is not identifying your device as connected and hisuite doesn't come with fastboot drivers... Check device manager (of Windows Pc if you have)
And find FastBoot.2.0 driver and update it from Windows update

ok so I have now all the drivers but there is still the message "waiting for device". Do I need to extract the image from a specific update.app ? Or is it just the procedure very long ?
thank you a lot for your help :good:

You need to extract UpDate.App...four images CUST,SYSTEM,BOOT,RECOVERY and have your device in fastboot mode connected to your pc

Yes I know that, and I have already tried.
My questions were: which UPDATE.app I must use for the extracion ? Does it matter ?
And, how long is the unbricking ? 10min, 30min, or several hours ?

but an error occures as: S-SECURITY_SLA_FAIL (6004), MSP ERROR CODE: 0x00

and while flashing through the cracked miracle box, the phone automatically disconnects at 7% of

If your device still boots on fastboot then why not flash the correct boot or recovery image?
Is your device rooted?

[Q] USB doesn't connect to Windows (Oreo)

Hi, guys. I have a ZenFone 3 (ZE520KL) and I upgraded it to Oreo (WW-15.0410.1801.40). When I updated it, it connected to my PC using USB only once. I have tried many cables, PCs, and I can conclude that it doesn't work. Any solutions?

Have you turned on 'USB debugging' mode?

Definitely. I have tried USB debugging but "adb devices" shows nothing. Also wiped the device multiple times.

Don't use ASUS Flash Tool for that.
1. Extract the raw zip ( latest raw zip available for ze520kl is here )
2. Reboot your phone in fastboot mode then open the command window inside the extracted folder.
3. Apply this command: flashall_AFT WW_ZE520KL_15.0410.1712.31_M3.10.47.16_Phone-user.raw
Wait for flashing to complete then will reboot your phone, now you are on full stock 15.0410.1712.31.
4. Flash the ota 15.0410.1801.40.
5. Flash twrp 3.2.1-0 and magisk 15.4
6. Done.
Hit the thanks button if i helped.

Just tried flashing. It didn't work, so I searched and it told me to "fastboot erase cache". Now when I flash, nothing works. How to solve this?
EDIT: solved using "fastboot format cache".
But still, after countless flashing, my PC (and other PC, using other cables) still can't recognize my phone
