Format of bootloader-*.img files found in factory images of certain Android devices from Huawei:
All image versions can be found in factory images at https://developers.google.com/android/images for the specific device. To avoid having to download an entire ZIP archive when you only need one file from it, install remotezip and use its command line tool to list members in the archive and then to download only the file you want.
This page hosts a formal specification of Huawei Bootloader packed image format using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for JavaScript generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the JavaScript runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The JavaScript runtime library is available at npm:
npm install kaitai-structSee the usage examples in the JavaScript notes.
Parse structure from an ArrayBuffer:
var arrayBuffer = ...;
var data = new AndroidBootldrHuawei(new KaitaiStream(arrayBuffer));
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by accessing fields or properties like:
data.metaHeader // => get meta header
// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
(function (root, factory) {
if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
define(['kaitai-struct/KaitaiStream'], factory);
} else if (typeof module === 'object' && module.exports) {
module.exports = factory(require('kaitai-struct/KaitaiStream'));
} else {
root.AndroidBootldrHuawei = factory(root.KaitaiStream);
