Boot animations must be placed in /system/media and the file must be named bootanimation.zip
Just copy/paste the bootanimation.zip to /system/media using ES File Explorer (make sure Root Explorer is enabled).

What boot animation are you getting on startup? Make sure you delete the existing one(if there is one).

I rename the original to OGbootanimation.zip then I copy the new on into the folder. That way I can delete the experimental file and name the original back if the experimental file won't work. It saves a few steps.
Make sure you're moving the zip file and don't extract it or use CWM on it.
Hm, is it boot animation.zip or sanim.zip?
Have you tried searching the Seraphim thread?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using xda premium
Like others have said, you just need to rename the zip to bootanimation.zip and place it in your system/media folder using ES File Explorer (what I use) or Root Explorer. Then reboot and wallah.
It's never not worked for me. I'm currently running Unofficial CM9, and I replaced the Cyanogen boot with the Galaxy Nexus ICS boot animation, to keep Android tasting Vanilla...
Make sure the permissions are rw-r--r--
it whont worck by anyway man i deleted the samsung boot animation from the seraphim rom and tryed all the methods you guys sayd and still nothing now im only geting the original samsung boot sound

make sure u have the correct kernal that allows bootanimation, another is to unzip it and rezip as store, there should not be any compression with a bootanimation.zip., if u want to upload it, i will test it.
i have an 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 kernel and how can i upload the bootanimation.zip so you can test it??

I've been googling the hell out of this and can't find a solution. I have the bootanimation.zip that I want, but I can't find a way to move it into system/media. I tried root explorer and that didn't work.
are you using a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip?
try rom manager,download rom and sonfskywalker3

I'm not sure. I'm kind of a noob at all of this. I flashed Axura 2.0.6 to my Vibrant today. The systems/media folder does have a bootanimation.zip in it though.
You can change them with axura just get root explorer and place your bootanimation.zip in system/media
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
rename your original bootabimation to like something else and then use root explorer to move the bootanimation to the system/media/
Besure its a zip and spelled correctly or it wont work.
Axura supports bootanimation.
After u move REBOOT so your system knows it's changed then watch if it worked.
Just tried it and got this:
Paste Failure
There was not enough free disk space to complete the paste operation.
Edit: Nevermind, got it to work using Super Manager instead of Root Explorer.
How do u change the boot and the shutdown animation is there any tutorial on this??????
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I'm pretty much a noob myself, but RootTools app has an option to choose a few diff boot anims. Not sure about shutdowns.
Read read and read. That's how I learned. You need to be rooted, use root explorer (an app) and just push it. Meaning of push, its cut/copy and paste.

Most all of them you flash in clockworkmod.
There is a lot of them in the bible
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991267
tru dat! you got 2 options:
- Flash in CwMRecovery
or
- Push bootanimation.zip into /system/media
Like a kernel or modem, bootanimations do not really require a flash at 100% battery or clearing of settings in CwMRecovery if you choose to flash it. Some bootanimations are not flashable and require you to push them into /system/media. Always read the OP will generally explain if it is flashable or not.
***I highly recommend you push it yourself. Its not hard at all and will allow you to be more familiar with your file system***
- just find the "bootanimation.zip" that you want
- move it to ur phone
tip* i've found i like to archive all bootanimations on my PC for future reference do so or skip this next step
- browse to /system/media/bootanimation.zip(this is your original) copy it to archive
- browse to where you put the bootanimation.zip you want and select "move"
- browse to /system/media/ and select paste
- select replace
- reboot phone and voila! now you have ur new bootanimation and you feel more comfortable moving system files around. Aren't you smart ur mom would be proud. Good luck!

check my post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019858
its on shutdown animations.
for boot animations.
its the same method
but the bootanimation is just in the "system/media" folder...called "bootanimation.zip"
It can be taken from any ROM from the "system/media" folder and placed in your "system/media" folder on your phone and your done.
This will make more sense after you read my forementioned post.

did you remember to set permissions to rw-r--r-- before backing out? i usually have to do that when i change boot anims.

Not sure which one you are trying to get on your phone.. Some animations need to be flashed through recovery.
This post was made by prathyush.creed on the samsung fit page of xda
It is working well on stock roms..I tried it on ddkk1 and it worked well..But when i tried on my Blazing Hatred Rom it dint work..SO Use on STOCK ROMS:
I dunno if many of u already know this,but Im justing posting here:
Attach two files Namely :
1.Samsungani
2.Bootanimation
Download
http://www.mediafire.com/?aa52s74oaju1n9s
Copy both the files to /system/bin and Set the Appropriate Permissions .
Then Copy Your Bootanimation.zip to /system/media.
To get appropriate permission do this:
Use rootexplorer,before copying these to files navigate to /syste/bin and note down the Permissions Of both files .then copy the two files and give them the appropriate permission.
I tried this bootanime:
http://www.mediafire.com/?8ccnbde6v2utm6u
Rename that 240X320.zip to bootanimation.zip and paste to system/media using root explorer

well - to me the question is, how to disable boot animation.
answer :
in build.prop debug.sf.nobootanimation = 1 or sth.
wow thanks. i was so tired of seeing the boring Samsung boot up screen.
If u want simple way use uot kitchen and pick ur boot animation and resolution too
Ignore another tab
Go to summary visit the pick up page and most important remmember ur pick up number
If succed u will have to download the package
And then estract it pick the boot animation on system/media and renam the zip file as bootanimation.zip
Send to ur sd card
And then open root explorer search the bootanimation.zip on your sdcard and move it to system/media just overwrite the old one,and dont firget to mount and remount ur system hehe
Reboot ur phone and enjoy ur new boot animation screen
But use at ur own risk ok
:rolleyes
But ive been try to place and replace the bootanimation and guess what.... I love my new custom boot animation

i found a easy way to put custom bootanimation.zip on phone..
first download or get custom bootanimation u want in uotkitchen..
then get the sanim.zip on system/media on uot------.zip
rename it to bootanimation.zip..put the file on root of sd card.
next go to root explorer press the upper right to become read/write..
go to sd card and copy bootanimation.zip
copy it on data/local/"here"..
(im not responsible if u brick ur phone so do a nandroid backup first and it works smoothly with me)
Just copy it to system/media
Not data/local

i did that on my phone and it works.. i discovered it on root tool...when u download bootanimation in root tool and apply it the directory is in data/local ..then i tried to put the bootanimation from uot kitchen there and it works...
and i have the same problem with Sharmaskss when i tried to put bootanimation in system/media and fix it when i tried my method
Here's how I did it:
1. I pushed a bootanimation.zip into /system/media, and changed permissions to this file into rw-.r--.r--. Rebooted the phone and it didn't work.
2. I then pushed the bootanimation and samsungani binaries provided by the OP to the /system/bin folder and changed their permissions to rwx.r-x.r-x. Rebooted the phone and it worked! However, there is no sound. Oh, well, at least it worked.

Im trying to load my bootanimation.zip
Im currently on the VK rom v5.1 with siyah kernel (so bootanimations are supported)
Ive tried pasting the zip into system\media with root explorer. There is no current bootanimation.zip present but bootsamsung.qmg
Also i've tried to pasting the bootanimation.zip into data/local.
On both attempts i get a black screen.
No idea what to try now?!

Make sure your file system is mounted as writable. I used ES File Explorer and did all the steps, and it didn't work. So I checked the ES settings and it wasn't "Mounted as writable". Once I fixed that, and did the exact same steps, it worked. The animation looks great.

Hi. I just tried that and it didn't work either. Just moving the bootanimation.zip to the \system\media is all I need to do (besides setting the permissions)? There is no other bootanimation.zip file in the media folder. How does the phone know to use the bootanimation.zip file when booting? Thanks.
Guess this will not work on stock OCS.

What rom are you on? Custom boot animation may not be supported.
Is your current boot animation the android logo? There was no other bootanimation.zip in the folder for me, until I placed the renamed JB one.
here's my complete list of steps, that produced the desired results for me on Black*STAR IV ics rom:
*dl file to PC, renamed to bootanimation.zip placed in dropbox
*extracted to external sd card from dropbox app on phone
*moved to /system/media/ folder with ES file explorer (with mounted as writable, and all root options enabled)
*set permissions using Rom Toolbox's root browser
*rebooted phone and enjoyed animation
Mine does samsung logo samsung logo, android logo, then booted up.
Permissions set in ROM toolbox. Bootanimation.zip.
Must be my ROM's animation, (the android letters) needs removed?
Permisions is RW-R--R--
