I'm following the
hxxp://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack%2C_Edit%2C_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
guide to build a recovery.img.
It works fine to edit the ramdisk and rebuild with mkbootfs and mkbootimg. Until I flash it and boot up in recovery it stays on the green android splash and it is not fastboot mode. So I was wondering if there's some more to it. If I need a "--base [address]" or something else.
pls answer

You could use it for custom kernel testing if you were a kernel developer (but this can be done even without flashing the kernel at all with fastboot boot command).
The main reason for dualboot in Skrillax_CZ's bootloaders, at least for now, is to allow to boot into Linux distro instead of Android without sacrificing the recovery, as earlier method for dualbooting Linux was to replace recovery image with second OS kernel. With dualboot bootloader you still have recovery and you can select the OS you want to boot.

gotchya i actually yeah see the point test a kernal without making the device unusable unless you nvflash...... im a big duuuh sometimes
@chismay: with modified bootloader you actually can do anything to boot partition without worying that you won't be able to restore it later without nvflash. Modified bootloader gives you fully usable fastboot where you can do some cool operations (all based on latest v8):
To flash any kernel to boot partition (primary kernel - usually for android):
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
where boot.img is a file with kernel image with initrd.
To flash secondary kernel you can do
Code:
fastboot flash secboot kernel.img
You can of course flash new recovery with:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
But most of all, for testing new kernels and recoveries, you can boot any image without flashing into tab:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
where boot.img is any bootable image in Android format (Android kernel image, Linux kernel image or recovery image). This works by downloading the image into tablet's RAM and the booting it from there.
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 4A/4 Only..
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.
Requirements:
1. Rooted Redmi 4A/4 (any ROM)
2. Terminal Emulator app
STEPS to create & flash splash.img:
Same procedure as in here:

Unable to flash it through twrp
i tried to flash it but my logo comes only for a second and then it gets replaced by the stock logo (note i have a custom ROM and have different boot video ) fastboot logo is fine it works
I tried too and had the same result, only fastboot works.
I also tried to flash a custom logo, but I didn't use the .bat file because I'm using a linux OS. I searched to find a linux version of the script but I found only a request in another device' s thread with no answer from the creator of the tool. So I tried to use the commands from .bat file. I used "cat" command to join the files which I found that is equivalent to "copy /b" and the "720x1280_header.img" which provided, but it didn't work. I get only af small penguin icon for both fastboot and splash which I suppose is the linux kernel' s default splash. For fastboot I used the "fastboot.img" which also provided, so doesn't seems that is the image I made problem.
Doesn't Work! Atleast must update the thread.

If boot logo gets instantly replaced by the stock one, use this modified version by PG:

I reflashed the Hi8-air using the Intel Phone flashing tool: I flashed the vendor provided Android system with a modified partition file, so that the Android occupies the whole emmc. The Android was working nicely.
I then followed your description and flashed your recovery image. Since then, I was unable to boot into the Android. I was quite scared that I bricked the device, but finally I managed to flash the Android again, losing your recovery image.
Am I doing something wrong? Do you have an idea why my device does not boot into Android after flashing your recovery image? Is there any other way to root the Hi8-Air without your recovery image? I did not find any other option. I suppose I was not quite lucky when I bought this device, as Chuwi did not sell as many of these as of the others, so there is not much support for this particular model.

After flashing the recovery it is necessary to flash Magisk so it batches the boot.img to be able to boot (it disable secure booting)
another way to root is to batch the boot.img using another android device (copy hi8 boot.img to the other device and batch it with magisk then flash from fastboot)
would pls link me to that android system file?

what system file exactly ?
if you need the stock firmware files here it is
https://forum.chuwi.com/t/topic/924
but if you want the modified partition table its in this file attached (i made it myself) , you need to replace the gpt.bin file when using flash tool
sorry i dont have a detailed guide but i think you can find it on google
Use the file at your own risk , and only on Chuwi Hi8 Air, and again at your own risk
