How to change the boot animation through Device Provisioning

Changing the boot animation is possible through Device Provisioning.

Changing the boot animation through Device Provisioning in your Device Hub

How to

  1. Log in to your Device Hub and navigate to Provisioning.

  2. Choose existing provisioning settings or create a new one.
  3. Scroll down to Product Branding.
    product_branding
  4. Here you can add a boot animation and/or Default wallpaper.
  5. Add your URL
    Note: The URL must lead to where you have saved your .zip file and to which you have granted access. Additionally, the .zip file extension should be visible in the link, so encrypted URLs or redirecting URLs will not work.
