Updated March 24th, 2013. Process much simpler!
Difficulty: EASY!
Time: Approximately 5 minutes
Tools Req: PC & HP Touchpad
How to make it:
Using Keepvid.com:
1) Rip the mp4 video from any supported video site and save it as "1.mp4". The video must be at least 30 seconds long.

Using my custom Touchpad Bootanimation Builder Script:
2) Extract the script files, and paste your video in the folder with the batch script
Warning! Your antivirus might think the zip is dangerous because of the bat file, I can assure you with my kitten's life that is not!
3) Run the run.bat file.
4) Copy the bootanimation.zip file to your device.
How to Install it:
Install method A:
5A) Download and install ROM Toolbox Lite from the Play Store.
6A) Navigate to Interface>Boot Animations>Local> and choose your bootanimation.zip
If your Rom is AOKP (with Rom Control in settings)... you can select it from Rom Control>General UI>Custom Boot Animation
Install method B:
5B) Copy your new bootanimation.zip from to your SDCard into data/local using your File Manager (Root access required, check your File Manager settings)
Install method C: Thanks to MindSplit and TedSamaha.
5C) Store your new bootanimation.zip inside bootanimation_install.zip (Download Here) at "data/local/bootanimation.zip".
The file must be 'stored' using WinRar or 7zip, as it cannot work if its compressed!
6C) Flash bootanimation_install.zip in your recovery.
Easy as pie!
If you want to use the script to make a custom boot animation for different android device, you simply have to edit the .bat file in notepad and change 512x384 to your device's resolution (or half resolution to save space), and as well in desc.txt

Yes, I understand you can push the bootanimation.zip through ADB but that requires the SDK. This method is simple, and works.
As for creating the png files, I wouldn't know how it can be done easier.
Thanks for sharing this. Nice & easy just the way I need it.

Hi, quick question, how about adding sound to the boot animation? I tried already the steps on another thread but it isn't working for me, thanks for the guide as well!

I have yet to try out the sound capabilities of the boot animation. But from my method, you can simply convert your 30 second mp4 into a separate mp3 file in FreeMake Video Converter, and then follow TedSamaha's guide:
Now if you want Sound in the bootanimation:
1) Download "soundatboot.zip" and Flash it via Recovery
2) Download "bootsnd.sh" and place it in /sdcard
3) Then open terminal emulator and type
Code:
su
cd /sdcard (space after cd)
sh bootsnd.sh
4) Reboot
5) Finally rename "bootsound.mp3" to "android_audio.mp3" and copy it to /system/media

Thanks for the reply..but this is the guide that I followed and it didn't work, unfortunately TedSamaha doesn't follow his thread I guess cause a few other people also have posted about not being able to get the sound in the bootanimation and he has not replied to their questions. Well I may have just to forget all about it...thanks again.

A possible solution could be to push the .mp3 file to /data/local
using adb u can:
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

Thanks TedSamaha, I will try to do that but before I need to go to a hp store to see if they can fix my usb port cause my computer doesn't recognized my touchpad any longer..it is not the computer..it is the port cause it is the same with any computer..and that's why I hadn't done it that way before..but thanks for the tip anyways...:good:
I created a 30 second file. When i split into pngs i geet 721 pngs and then the bootanimation does not at all appear. ?
Just a note to everyone. It is normal if your bootanimation_install file is very big!
I just wrote a super simple script that does all the work for you!
The OP has been updated! Let me know how it works! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Nice work man. Thanks again for sharing.
Error copying
Sir when i tried to copy bootanimation file in sys/media it shows copy failed.
it only copies 40.6 MB.

03.30.2011 -=*[ working on automation of backup/install of the Boot Animation... ]*=-
!!COMPLETED!! see bottom of OP
i made a few Boot Animations to go with my GingerBlur'd phone if anyone is interested in them. they're nothing fancy, just something different to look at.

}
GingerBlur-bootanimation-1.zip
GingerBlur-bootanimation-2.zip
GingerBlur-bootanimation-3.zip
you will need to rename the respective GingerBlur-bootanimation-x.zip to bootanimation.zip.
original design was by ZeliardM for the Eris. i made some changes for GingerBlur.
Installation Instructions:
The script that's run on your phone WILL back up your existing /system/media/bootanimation.zip file ONE time and that's it. As long as the backup (/system/media/bootanimation.zipORG) exists from then on, it will simply overwrite the /system/media/bootanimation.zip file each time you run the install. this script should work for any of the Boot Animations that you get your hands on as long as there is a bootanimation.zip file in the same directory as the batch and script file (explanation(s) below). you can always revert back to your original bootanimation.zip, but you'll need to do so manually using adb to copy the /system/media/bootanimation.zipORG -> /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Download your Boot Animation of choice from the above links
Download the zip file (GB-BootAni.zip) below containing the install .bat and .sh file.
unzip the GB-BootAni.zip file you downloaded (should create you a GB-BootAni directory)
place your downloaded Boot Animation zip file in the above directory and either rename it bootanimation.zip or copy the file to bootanimation.zip
run the GB-BootAni.bat and the rest should take care of itself.
Download GB-BootAni.zip (installation helper for the GingerBlur Boot Animations)
md5sum: f20838c2d293f181f1f2d5650f6e8f83
i welcome any and all feedback...good, bad or indifferent.
Looks good! I'm loving all the boot screen's that have come out so far, great work!
Looks nice, and how would you go about installing this to your phone? Asking b/c I've never done this before.

i'll try to post a script to facilitate things, but basically:
copy/rename the .zip file to bootanimation.zip
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp
adb shell
<the above is done from your windows/linux machine>
<here down is done on your phone>
$ su
# cp /data/local/tmp/bootanimation.zip /system/media
# rm /data/local/tmp/bootanimation.zip (optional)
# reboot
...sit back and watch the magic happen.

you have to have "root" access in order to write to /system/media/
itsonlym3, I'm trying to do this manually via adb. First, does it matter where we put the bootanimation.zip because when I insert adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp in the command terminal, I get a "cannot start bootanimation.zip: No such file or directory"
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here...

you need to issue the push (adb push) from your Winxx or Linux machine. if you've got adb in your path (which you probably do), then go into the directory where you downloaded the new bootanimation.zip and issue:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp/
that better?
i'm kind of assuming there's a /data/local/tmp. hopefully i'm correct in my assumption....?
sorry, i'm working on a script to automate this, just been busy. :/
also, you should probably back up your existing bootanimation.zip file before overwriting it if you'd like to keep it. PM me and i'll walk you through it if you need help. i'll add manual instructions to the OP once i finish up the automated script.

Even while using the script, the installer failed because of the data/local/temp not being found. Not sure how to find the path in order to see if bootanimation.zip is located in there.
Edit: when I type in %temp% in the start - search, it pops up my local temp files, but there is nothing in that folder?? I'm using Chrome as a browser if that makes a difference.

/data/local/tmp is a path on your phone.
you should take whichever Boot Animation file you would like to use, copy it to the directory where you unzipped the installer and name it: bootanimation.zip
then while in that directory, you should run GB-BootAni.bat file and it should do the rest for you.
first off, when you get to a command line on your PC and type:
adb devices
does it return return/display something like this:
List of devices attached
TB30607H83 device
Stupid me!! I named the zip as bootanimation.zip so it read "bootanimation.zip.zip" so that is why it never worked. The new bootanimation works perfectly after I figured out my error

you should be able to put it anywhere on your machine, as long as you have adb.exe in your path somewhere. i didn't add it to the zip file, but i suppose i could.
is that what you were asking?
Yep didn't do the adb part, I got creative and made my own animation by combining the peking droid and honeycomb takeover then figured out how to install it manually

Since tinkering with things is a hobby of mine coupled with an ongoing infatuation with Blender3d I decided I'd spend some time working on a few new boot animations.
Admittedly I only have a basic understanding of the boot animation format but I'm going to render some frames out and see what I can do. Neat stuff is neat.
Here's a few frames from my first test animation..

I've started with a new CM7 boot animation since I use CM7+DalOC+SDcard boot on my own Nook Color.
If anyone has any other ideas or a wishlist drop it in here and I'll see what I can come up with. We are limited by only our imagination.
looks good!
Good job and good luck.
Mmm looks like a green lantern android. Moar plz!
Looks like it's gonna be an awesome boot animation, I've always loved trying out new one, and it looks like this ones gonna be amazing! Awesome work so far, and good luck finishing it off.
I like! Nice start

Hey guys,
First bootanimation is ready to go. This is the full screen .png version. Runs fine on my nook. I tested a smaller res version on my nook and it didn't make much of a difference so I ended up just leaving it full screen.
Quality on the nook is much nicer of course...

part2
Download bootanimation.zip :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SPBBE750
Instructions for installation:
1) Download and install the free E S File explorer on your nook
2) In the settings menu enable all the root options
3) Connect your nook to your computer USB and transfer the bootanimation to a spot you know where to look from E S File explorer
4) On your Nook use E S File explorer to copy the bootanimation.zip from that drop folder to the /data/local directory. You can delete the other bootanimation.zip that is there if you are replacing something.
5) Done. Reboot. Rejoice.
There may be other ways to accomplish the same thing but this is the method I used for my SDcard install.
Hmm, my bootanimation.zip stays in the /system/media folder... Not sure if mines different for some reason, but I've never heard of putting it in the /data/local directory...
Must be different on an SD card install, I'm running off of eMMC.
Oh, and holy crap, that animation is huge! Can't wait to try it out, but my Nook is out of commission at the moment, got it taken by my parents
I'm going to render out a red and cyan version of this same animation since I already have the models, lighting and effects in place. After that I'll probably switch it up with something different.

Edit: hmm, when I go to the download link it tells me the file is temporarily unavailable... Anyone else have it? Could you attach it or post another mirror of it?

My pleasure, it's fun making things like this because it keeps my skills sharp and serves a purpose.
The cyan version is incoming in a day or 2 I just got busy with some other stuff.
I am downloading the red one. My sister and I will love this! Thank you!
OK, now where do I copy this file?
I am running CM7 N107 from SD & don't find any of the folders mentioned. Do I need to be looking at the "Boot" partition? If so, that is only available to me if I put the SD card in my PC. Am I replacing a zip file, or installing this zip via booting into recovery? Please expand on the installation steps.
Thanks,
kev
installation
I didn't install this particular boot animation yet (but Dling ).
The way I accomplished this was to rename original bootanimation.zip to st else (old.bootanimation.zip).
Then copy new animation to the same folder as older one was. Reboot .
I found mine in root-system-media
/system/media
Hope this helps .
P.S. connect NC to PC via cable (or wifi), copy zip file to SD card. Disconnect, open file browser, copy or move zip file to the folder above to replace bootanimation.zip.
Oh one important thing - you need to have rooted NC and have root access - your file browser must have root privileges. I used ES explorer if I rememeber correctly.
Do not unzip or alter the .zip file.

Hi bug,
1) open E S File Explorer
2) set all the root options to enabled and press the home button upper left
it will show a little house when you are in the correct mode
3) scroll till you find the data folder and click on it
4) inside this first data folder will be a Local folder .. click on that to open (not the data folder within the data folder if you have one)
5) insert or copy the new bootanimation.zip over the old one
It's only a few clicks to get this done on a SDcard CM7 install. I'm not sure of the installation of custom boots on the other installs since I haven't used any of those yet.
How bout a cwm flashable zip? Would make the process of installing your boot animations a breeze. Ill try and prep one tomorrow mornning. Unless someone beats me to it. I hope someone does.

Thanks for your response. On my system, the bootanimation.zip is located in system/media.
Problem is when I try to rename the file or paste the new file in the folder I get " Sorry, operation failed."
I get a "failed to mount" when I select "mount File System" under settings.
At launch I saw a message that ES File Explorer had been granted SU Permissions. I am at a loss for what to do now.

Firstly this tutorial is by despotovski01
Introducion
Hi guys!
Today, I'm going to teach you how to make your own boot animations. Please read this thread carefully to the end, in order to succeed in making your boot animation.
Requirements:
-A photo-editing program (GIMP and Photoshop are the best), which can save pictures in .png format
-A text editor (everyone has that)
-An archive-managing program (Power Archiver, WinZip), that is capable of making .zip archives
Tutorial:
1. Create part0 and part1 folders (in this folders, the frames of the boot animation are stored. Usually, there are only 2 parts in a boot animation, but you can add as many as you want. The frames in the part0 folder are usually repeated once, and the frames in part1 folder are usually looped several times, or infinite.)
2. Draw every frame of your boot animation manually (save every frame as you do it. Save the first one as 10001.png, the second one as 10002.png, and so on. Save them in the part0 and part1 folders - the frames in part0 folder will be showed only once, and the frames in part1 folder will be looped. But, you can change that if you want. Changing the looping property will be discussed in the following steps. WARNING: ALWAYS SAVE THE FRAMES IN .PNG OR .JPG FORMAT!)
3. Make a desc.txt file in the directory where the part0 and part1 folders are and edit it as following:
320 480 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(The numbers 320 and 480 is the resolution of your boot animation. Change them as you want. The number 30 means the speed of the animation. Speed set to 30 is good for me. Then, the "p 1 0 part0" property means that the frames in part0 folder will be repeated once - you point that with the first number in the "p 1 0 part0" property, which in this case is 1. The second number is the delay between loops, and it's expressed in milliseconds (1000ms = 1s). I've set it to 0 because I don't want to be any delay between my loops (p 1 0 part0). And last, but not least, you set the folder with the folder name - in this case is part0. Then, you type the property for the part1 folder - that's "p 0 0 part1". The first "0" means that the folder will be looping infinite times, the second "0" means there's no delay between loops, and then we set the folder to part1. Note: if you have more folders, you'll have to write properties for them too! WARNING: DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE AN EMPTY LINE AT THE END OF THE DESC.TXT FILE!)
4. Compress the folders and the desc.txt file in a zip file (WARNING: MAKE SURE YOUR COMPRESSION METHOD IS STORE! OTHERWISE, THE BOOT ANIMATION WON'T WORK!)
5. Open your new boot animation and check the folders, if there are Thumbs.db files. If there are Thumbs.db files in your boot animation, delete them from the archive.
6. Install your boot animation on your device with one of the following methods:
Root Explorer method:
1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation
4. Reboot your phone
ADB method:
1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk
2. Put android sdk in C:\
3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.
4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
5. Open cmd
6. Type in order:
-adb remount
-adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
-adb reboot
7. Enjoy your new boot animation!
Note: It's far easier to create and install boot animations with my program Boot Animation Factory. Oh, and you can preview them on your computer too!

3. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following commands using the stock keyboard. Press enter after each line:
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh
reboot
4. As the device boots up you will be greeted by the "Dolby THX" test sound heard before movies. You are now free to replace the android_audio.mp3 file in /system/media with any .mp3 file you like as long as you rename it to "android_audio.mp3"
5. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OUTSMART THESE DIRECTIONS OR YOU WILL BE RESTORING YOUR NANDROID BACKUP!

Common mistakes that people make:
-Wrong compression method: you MUST set the compression method to Store!
-Missing empty line at the end of the desc.txt file: an empty line is needed! Otherwise, the boot animation won't work!
-Frames drawn in wrong color mode: you MUST draw your frames in RGB 8bit or RGB 16bit COLOR MODE!
there is a error in this see post#2 for maintain
YOU CAN CLICK THANKS
lemme point out errors here
SGY has a resolution of 240x320 LDPI
so its not 320x480 thats for MDPI/HDPI
p 1 0 part1
p- means string for images
1- means repeat and loop images
0- means dont repeat
30- not nessessarily 30, it is the FPS (Frames-per-second) rate
part[?]- not nessessarily need to be part1 you can also make it "donuts1" just make the folder "donuts1" too, it is where the images are stored

reduce all images to 320x240 so that it will work otherwise all you see is a black screen
your method is too complicated,
you can do it via adb,
adb remount
adb push [file location in PC]/bootanimation.zip /system/media
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
set permissions to rw-r-r via root explorer
the file for soundboot is "poweron.ogg"
found in /system/etc
adb remount
adb push [file location in PC]/poweron.ogg /system/etc

THNX BRO
I just successfully created a boot animation from scratch. I used a free video to jpg software to create image files from a video file. I then used Samsung theme designer to create qmg files. I however am still unsure of how to figure the correct duration/fps to get the desire animation play out length I'd like. I have the images resized to 1024*768. Id appreciate any direction to find how to figure setting the proper duration/fps settings
Disclaimer: Now in this thread I shall be sharing some full screen Boot Animations for our 720p screens that I´ve modified. My contribution to these animations was to increase the resolution of the graphics to 720p so that they would cover our full screens, optimizing the base jpgs so that the file sizes were as reduced as possible without compromising the image quality and restructuring the corresponding zip packages, but that was all. This means that these animations are not my original work, only modified by me, and since I only found the original contributor to just one of these three animations I would love if you guys could tell me if you know who the original author of the base files was so I can credit him or her accordingly.
Hey all!!!
Now here´s the first boot animation of this thread, the same Razr M HD 720p Boot animation I posted before on my other thread but now in Vibrant Blue for all of you who have either ROMS or just themes that go better with blue than with red (Like me, for instance):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now to install, and please remember that YOUR PHONE NEEDS TO BE ROOTED for this to work:
1.- Download both of the files that are attached to this post to your computer.
2.- Once both these downloaded files are in your computer, unzip the droidsm.ogg.zip file and extract the droidsm.ogg file inside it and put it together in the same place or folder with the bootanimation.zip file. At this point you can delete the zip that contained the ogg file you extracted and just keep the bootanimation zip and the ogg file in the same folder in your computer
3.- Copy both the downloaded bootanimation.zip and the extracted droidsm.ogg files to a folder inside your phone.
4.- Using your preferred android File Manager (Root Browser, ES File Explorer, etc.) go to the folder System/Media of your phone. Within that folder, there should already be a file named bootanimation.zip that holds your current boot animation graphics. Rename that existing bootanimation.zip file to bootanimation.zip.bak, so you can easily go back to it later on if need be.
5.- Now still using the File Manager, go back to the folder inside your phone into which you copied the downloaded bootanimation.zip file and the extracted droidsm.ogg file from your computer, and either copy or move them both to the System/Media folder of your phone.
6.- Once the new bootanimation.zip file is in your phone´s System/Media folder, you NEED to change the file permissions for the bootanimation.zip to rw-r--r-- under the file´s properties (or 0644 if your file manager asks for the attributes code instead).
7.- Do the same permissions change for the droidsm.ogg file and set its permissions to rw-r--r-- too.
8.- Now with those changes made, you can exit your file manager, reboot your phone and just enjoy your new amazing Droid HD boot animation!!! :victory:
P.S.: If anything goes like it shouldn´t, just go back to the System/Media folder of your phone using your android File Manager of choice, and then delete both the bootanimation.zip file and the droidsm.ogg file that you previously copied in there. Then just rename the bootanimation.zip.bak that should still be there back to its original name before you changed it (by removing the .bak from the last part of the file´s name). Reboot and all should be as it was before .
MachineAzul 720p HD
Now to the second Boot Animation of this thread, this one is in my opinion one of the most beautiful Boot Animations ever made for Android, and it looks even more astonishing at 720p resolution. This one has no sound, but it´s so pretty in my opinion that it doesn´t suffer any for it. Here you go:
Now to install, and please remember that YOUR PHONE NEEDS TO BE ROOTED for this to work:
1.- Download the file that is attached to this post to a folder in your computer.
2.- Copy the downloaded bootanimation.zip file to a folder inside your phone.
3.- Using your preferred android File Manager (Root Browser, ES File Explorer, etc.) go to the folder System/Media of your phone.

RAZR M HD ICS Blue
Now this third one I can finally!!! credit to the original poster, he posted a 960x540 version of this file in a Galaxy S3 thread and it was easy to resize and adjust for our needs. Full credit goes to user Kryten2k35 for this contribution!
Now this is yet another version of the RAZR M full screen 720p HD Boot Animation, only this time in the Light Blue ICS theme color. I understand this much lighter color is the preferred option for the ICS based roms and for some versions of Cyanogenmod, either way here it is for your enjoyment:
Now to install this one, just follow EXACTLY THE SAME INSTRUCTIONS as they appear on the first post of this thread, and you should be golden. Enjoy!!!
AWESOME!!!
I just tried every single one of them and you guys rock!!!!!!

No sound??
Hi, I just tried installing the first boot animation you posted but although I set the permissions for both the bootanimation.zip and droidsm.ogg correctly, I'm not getting the sound when I reboot my phone (LG Optimus G E973, not sure if it matters). Can somebody give me any explanations for why this might be?
This animation as excellent!! Works great and looks outstanding on my Razr HD. Thanks!

I've only had that happen to me when the system volume setting is all the way down, so far. Weird issue, haven't really heard anyone else with that problem either, sorry
this guide shows how to change the boot logo, not the boot animation
boot logo is the logo that is shown before the animation
Tools required:
1. LogoBuilder --- http://d-h.st/k96
2. Stock logo.bin --- Get the file from your device (/dev/logo)
3. Required boot logo files, in png format
4. Common sense duh!!!
once you have the required files, extract LogoBuilder
Rename the file from your device (logo) to logo.bin and proceed to the next post
1. Open LogoBuilder.exe
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Click Create New Project
3. Select the logo.bin file you extracted from the device
4. Make a new folder for the project, any name will do
5. Select the folder and click on OK
You will see a progress bar running down. After finishing, you will get a whole bunch of images in the above selected folder
1. Open the folder containing all the images
2. Make a note of the sizes of img1.png and img39.png
The desired boot logo file must be a png file having resolution same as that of img1.png
3. Delete only img1.png and img39.png
4. Rename the desired boot logo file to img1.png and paste it in the folder
5. Make a copy of img1.png and rename it to img39.png
6. Click on Make button
In the selected folder, you'll get a file named update.zip
Flash that file using cwm and enjoy the new boot logo

Nice one! I was thinking to set canvas 4 boot logo it looks awesome thanks for the guide.

When making guide, everyone should be careful, at least to post SOURCE of information of software you are suggesting. You mentioned it as "different site", the link to that site was also missing. Wherever credit is due, is due. I hope you will take care next time.
PS: Be kind to main developer @ankadnikov and post your credit on 1st post, not fourth post.
what is the size of logo.bin? in my Alcatel SPOP 4030A is like 300mb o.o
Thanks man
Messed something up
Hello, I know this thread is about a year old, but I hope I can get some help here. I was trying to change the logo on my MTK device and I did not pay attention to the part where you were supposed to flash the finalized file with CWM, I instead just extracted the logo.bin file from the Update.zip and then just pushed it to /dev/ but before doing that I rename the original file to logo.nn Now my device won't go pass the original boot logo. I can get to adb but only to sideload. I've tried the update.zip generated from the LogoBuilder_v1.4 and still cannot boot up. I do not have the image for this device to just flash it and restore everything to factory. I have tried to clear cache and factory defaults thru stock recovery but it still doesn't boot up.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

I hope somebody can solved this issue
