Hi.I was trying to change bootanimation on my android without root.So I had searched Google and tried one method which was "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local" .By running that command through adb I got Permission denied Error.I tried another one.I first flashed twrp and through that I changed permission to read write execute.When I was in twrp mode I connected to my computer and changed bootanimation by removing the old bootanimation and add new bootanimation by running above adb command.When I restarted new bootanimation was not loaded even though I changed permission to rw-r-r but it was loading stock bootanimation.I had a doubt whether new bootanimation is applied or not.So when my phone was in normal mode I connected to my computer and through adb I run this command "adb pull bootanimation.zip C:".This command created a backup of my bootanimation to my computer.When I viewed the backed up bootanimation file it was new bootanimation file.But why is not getting applied or loaded on booting of phone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
bootanimation.zip is available in /data/media. Replace the bootanimation.zip over there with yours.

ok so today i tried to use a new boot animation zip and at first i tried to do it through an explorer but that didnt work as astro didnt let me paste the zip file so instead i went the adb route thought i didnt know how to use it.
i installed the files from here: http://sites.google.com/site/androidsamurai/Home/adb-for-dummies-1 and opened cmd, i used cd to get to the directory of my adb then i used adb devices to see if my phone was recognized which it was. then i used adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local and it said it copied since it gave me the speed stats, the file size and the time it took. i used astro to look inside the folder but it was empty. i then proceeded to do a few random things like remount and such and repush and the zip would just not appear in the /data/local folder. i then tried adb shell bootanimation just for kicks and it seemed to work, though i didnt know how to stop the animation besides closing my cmd. after that i tried to reboot and it got stuck at the bootanimation so then i used the 1.8.1 update and reinstalled it and i got past boot loop and for some reason the boot animation is the one i tried to install (the stock dell one that is in the themes forum) but the folder still doesnt exist in /data/local.
like i said im an adb noob, so please guide me through the entire proper way to push a bootanimation to my phone and to figure out where i pushed the previous to since it seems to be somewhere but i tried using astro search but cant find it. any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I'm not super talented at ADB either, but i believe that you should copy the boot animation zip into the same folder as ADB on your computer and then run this:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Also, there is a file manager called Root Explorer, you should use that instead of Astro because astro doesn't allow you to go into some of the system level directories (exactly what your dealing with in this case) but Root Explorer does. That's probably why you can't find what you flashed before.
Hope this helps

yeah apparently it seems that astro cant view some root files/folders
copy and paste with root explorer is easiest - like you though I am teaching myself how to use adb - get adb wireless btw - its cool if you dont have your cable to hand
OK ...
Samsung Fascinate SCH-i500
Rooted via SuperOneClick
Current ROM I am test driving on my phone is PWGB beta version (latest v 10/2011)
red versionCWM and verified I have busybox install.
installed Astro File Manager & Dual File Manager XT & Terminal Emulator.
MY NEED FOR ANSWERS:
I have a new bootanimation.zip stored on my SD card Id like to try out.
current ROM uses bootanimation file that is located in [/system/media/bootanimation.zip]....
the [/system] folder did not have the permissions that would allow me to move the current bootanimation zip and insert my new bootanimation zip.
Looks like the /system folder permissions were set at 0755 showing via "terminal emulator"
looks like I was successfull at changing the folder permissions to 0777 via
su[ENTER]mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system[ENTER]
chmod 0777 /system[ENTER]
but in order to get my new bootanin.. zip to transfer over to new location from my sdcard, went to move it with the [-i] option and TE displays [failled -Cross -linked Device] error message....
I am at a loss at this point to get the project done...
YES I AM A NOOB... I HAVE LEARNED ALOT FROM YOU GUYS... THANKS IN ADVANCE for your answers...,
This is what i do when i want to change my boot animation.
First of all, go to the market and install "Root Explorer".
Now put the new bootanimation.zip on your SD card. (I personally use DropBox to download it and store it on my SD card).
Go into Root Explorer, and into the /system/media/ folder and click the little "Mount R/W" button at the top of the app (this changes the permissions, allowing you to copy/move and add files to the system partition), and change the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimationold.zip (simple way of backing it up, in case anything goes wrong, or you simply wanna switch back).
Now go to your SD card (still in root explorer) and copy the new bootanimation.zip, go back into the /system/media/ folder and simply paste it.
Click on the new bootanimation.zip and change the permissions to
User: X X -
Group: X - -
Others: X - -
(Where "X" is permission granted, and "-" is no permission)
Press Ok, and click the "Mount R/O" button in the top of the app, and exit Root Explorer. All done.
Now reboot your device and see the glorious new bootanimation
PS: If there is anything wrong with the bootanimation.zip, it will simply show a black screen after the initial splash screen. So simply wait, and let your device boot like normal.
did not work...
I managed to rename the old boot animation zip and I managed to place the new bootanimation.zip into the same folder.... /system/media/bootani.....
I rebooted the phone but still the OLD boot anima remains and active. the NEW bootanimation file is indeed there but the phone does not act like it.
I went to recovery and cleared cache and dalvik and reboot....nada still no new boot animation.
I took on this small project of changing my boot animation because it looked to be so simple. I got the new boot animation file from a thread of a collection of boot animations and the instructions said to just place on SDcard and install via CWM....needless to say that did not work, so the journey went to where I am now....
Hello to you all.
Noob ):
Ok, so I speak Hebrew, and Hebrew and Arabic I think are the only two languages that are being written from right to left.
This created a mess in Gmail and text messaging.
I emailed a friend, and he emailed me a revised Framework.jar file that fixed it on his vibrant. Cool.
So, I was doing everything according to procedure (see bellow), but got a stuck display on the boot screen "Galaxy S - Cynogen". Before my MIUI Rom booted.
This made me very sad, and I had no idea what to do. I went to recovery again and went to re-flashing my MIUI ROM
It worked and the phone booted again after it re-installed the zip MIUI - and everything is back to normal.
This means that something is not right with the Framework file or something?
Really not sure, I am really not good when it comes to this. Just followed directions.
Please help ):
Here is what I was told to do:
c:
cd tmp
dir
(Make sure you see the framework.jar file after you typed the "dir" command)
this will reboot your phone into recovery:
adb reboot recovery
after you are in recovery run this:
adb pull /system/framework/framework.jar framework_org.jar
This will backup your original file..
adb push framework.jar /system/framework/
This will copy the new file over..
After this reboot your phone either using the recovery menu options or by typing the following command:
adb reboot
Here is the revised Framework.jar file that I replaced with the "Stock" file
Hello,
Does anyone know how create a very simple "updater.zip" file that does nothing except run the "set_perm_recursive" function and set the "/storage/sdcard0/DCIM" folder and all files/folders under it to 777?
I recently screwed up my wife's phone trying to install an app, and didn't have a backup. Now it is stuck on the bootup image screen and won't finish booting up. I am trying to download her photos.
I connected using ADB pull, but since I don't have root on the phone... I don't have permissions to access the /storage/sdcard0/DCIM folder.
So I thought it might be possible to create a simple "updater.zip" script that I can run from the recovery screen, which would give world read/write permissions to the /storage/sdcard0/DCIM folder. Then I can use ADB pull to get a copy of all her pictures to my computer.
Thanks for any help!
I've tried to change the boot animation on my android phone running sc7731g chipset, android 5.1 and it is rooted and usb debugging is not enabled before this accident.I can't open or access the android recovery menu,it's just spreadrum factory test and it's in chinese language
I copy and pasted the boot animation file using ES file explorer to system>media folder and there's already an bootanimation.zip there and i renamed it to bootanimation.zip.bak, then i pasted the bootanimation.zip file that i copied there and changed its permissions to:
read write execute
owner check check check
group check
other check
then i rebooted it.., after that i doesn't boot completely anymore it just freezes during boot
Is there any way i can fix this without flashing anything?
even adb and fastboot doesn't work it just says device unauthorized
and please confirm dialog box on your device
i really need help.,I've been researching for a week now...
