I'm sorry, what are we talking about, here? Recovery-flashable zips don't include android-info.txt files. I think I need more information.
Hello,
I'm on the same page as you. The OP said that when the splash zips are flashed through recovery it asked for an android-info.txt file. I was under the impression it used the updater-script and the dd method to flash the splash. Thought you might have some insight to this, know the M9 is different, but thought recovery is the same. Not sure what else I can give you. Here is the updater-script for the zips I have, maybe his are different.
From my M8, obviously the partition is different, think it is 15.
ui_print("Update boot splash");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
ui_print("Mounting /cache");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/cache");
show_progress(0.300000, 0);
ui_print("Extracting boot splash");
package_extract_dir("cache", "/cache");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
ui_print("Replacing boot splash");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/cache/splash.565", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12");
show_progress(0.700000, 0);
ui_print("Deleting temporary file");
delete("/cache/splash.565");
show_progress(0.900000, 0);
ui_print("Unmounting /cache");
unmount("/cache");
ui_print("Done");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
Thanks,
