Greetings to everyone!
I want to flash AOSP again on the Hikey 970, but the build process is taking too long.
Does anyone have binaries and a nice tutorial on how to install the OS without building it from sources?
I downloaded the Android 8 image from LeMaker but I didn’t found any tutorial.
Thanks in advance!
Binaries are available at Downloads for HiKey970 - 96Boards
I don’t have this board, but I assume you have to:
Configure switch for fastboot:
| Auto Power up | Switch 1 | closed / ON |
| Recovery--------| Switch 2 | open / OFF |
| Fastboot---------| Switch 3 | closed / ON |
Power on you board, device should appears as a fastboot device
Flash Android images, if you’re host is Windows, there is a bat script to run, on Linux you can run the following:
fastboot flash xloader sec_xloader.img
fastboot flash ptable prm_ptable.img
fastboot flash fastboot l-loader.bin
fastboot flash fip fip.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Power off and reconfigure switch for normal boot
| Auto Power up | Switch 1 | closed / ON |
| Recovery--------| Switch 2 | open / OFF |
| Fastboot---------| Switch 3 | open / OFF |
Power on you board
Thanks for your response sir!
I will try this approach. Downloading the source code and the build process turned out to take a lot of time and disk memory.
It was curious that there wasn’t a specific tutorial about this steps, given the fact that the binaries were given.
Hello, did the process worked for you.
I am having problem with fastboot Hikey 970
