I am curious as to how to change the boot animation. I loaded in the DroidX boot animation with the red droid eye, but now instead I want the blue DroidX eye.
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
That was the original code I had to enter into the terminal to copy the files into the directory. Now when I download the blue one, and use the same coding, the eye still stays red. What am I doing wrong, Thanks.

I recently got liberty 1.5 and so I've been trying out some themes and what not. I tried the Red X theme which came with a red coin with the android on it, spinning as the boot animation. Well now I have switched to a blue theme and wanted to change my animation, but with no luck. Every zip I flash that worked before, now does nothing. It says install complete and successful on clockwork, but still boots up with the red coin.
Go into your file manager and the liberty/downloads and clear and downloads pertaining to the boot logo then try again.
thiers nothing in there for any boot animation or theme.

Worst case scenario, find the bootanimation you want, download it and rename it to bootanimation.zip.
If you have the sdk installed and adb functioning, you can push a boot anim to your phone.
In a command prompt:
1)Cd to the directory your .zip is saved
2) adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
Reboot your phone and you should.now have your boot animation

Unless any other theme that you flash includes a different boot animation or logo, any previous logo/boot anim will stick because it is not being overwritten by a new theme.

Do this except that the boot animation is in /system/media not data/local.
My stock 2.2.2 streak is rooted. i downloaded honeycomb boot animation, renamed the stock b.a. and named honeycomb b.a. Bootanimation.zip. and rebooted, and it worked. a couple days later i came across something new and cool, i wanted to put the Transformers boot animation on it. i then went back to system/media and deleted honeycomb b.a. and then renamed stock bootanimation.zip, and then i downloaded the zip and put it into data/local like it says. i then tried to boot it up, it showed the dell logo, then screen goes blank with backlight on and button LED's are also on. it also vibrates every 10 seconds...what the heck is going on, hopefully i didnt brick my phone :\
...by the way, i can put it into fastboot, and i can hold vol up vol down and power, to the recovery screen?
Any help or suggestions are highly appreciated, thanks in advance everybody.
Well, personally, I would boot into StreakMod recovery (fastboot flash it on if needed), mount the data partition, run adb shell from a connected pc, and rename the original bootanimation.zip back into place.
I've had to do the above on my wildfire, where it worked perfectly, so I do know that just a misconfigured bootanimation can indeed cause issues like you are seeing.
Good luck.
ill get on that
That'll be enough to get me started, thanks
whats the command, to flash recovery.img? the whole line, i know it may differ. but an example?
and how do i run adb shell?
You can get StreakMod from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326 and there are some instructions in the first post, as well as a download link.
The flash command is
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
To run adb you will need to have installed the Android SDK (actually, I believe that it is possible to just install the adb tool itself, but I've never tried that). You can get full instructions for that, and download links at http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
It is useful to have adb installed anyway if you're going to play around with flashing stuff - it can be used to transfer files on and off your streak, log into it via the shell, watch the debugging log (it is very reassuring to watch it be busy doing something when you're booting a new rom and the screen is telling you nothing)
If you know how to use adb and fastboot but dont want the entire sdk
http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Tools/Fastboot+ADB.zip
includes fastboot + adb + streak drivers
i know this is probably a stupid question, but how do i boot into TWRP? does it have to be through a computer or is there a way to do it straight from the device?

Have you actually installed twrp? If not, google it.
If you did, then reboot your device and when you see the yellow triangle on boot, hold the power button for 2 seconds until your power button turns from green to orange, then release it and wait a bit until the twrp screen appears.
Quick question....can I have TWRP 2.0 & FireFireFire bootloader installed with the stock Kindle splash screen?
I have both the bootloader (mmcblk0p2) and recovery (mmcblk0p5) backed up on my computer. I can boot from the TWRP backup without installing it (fastboot -i 0x1949 boot mmcblk0p5.img), but can I just dd the bootloader and recovery backups to their respective partitions (/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p5) and keep the Kindle splash screen?
The triangle is FFF.... if you don't want that, you would have to replace the graphic it uses. It is doable, but you would have to recompile FFF with the new graphic in it.
So basic answer... no.
Thanks for your input.
Well as it turns out, the "splash" partition isn't the splash screen partition I thought it was. It actually contains some log files which are probably used for troubleshooting.
alright so farthest i can get with my phone to boot is either download mode, recovery, or just a black screen, this happened after modding the build prop but i have it backed up! how can i adb into the phone and replace the build prop file with the original / is this even possible?
well the adb recognizes the phone only as sideloaded or offline so i cant get into it
Does someone know how to change the boot logo/splash screen on Zenfone 3 Z017D?
Thanks
Sorry for my bad English
Are you talking about the splash screen or the boot animation? The boot animation is the file "bootanimation.zip" located in /system/media.
The splash partition for the ze552kl is mmcblk0p48, but using fastboot you can flash it with just the "splash" designation, "fastboot flash splash splash.img".
I would be very careful with what you flash, I soft-bricked my phone using an incorrect file, lol.

Thanks, I'll give it a try
BTW, for ZE520KL, where is the splash screen located?
Chances are it'll be flashable with the same command "fastboot flash splash image.bin".
If you want to double check, install parted and run "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0", then type "p" and enter. Verify your partition is named "splash".
Once you run that command, you can figure out exactly which partition it is (eg. mmcblk0p48) and then can back it up with "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p48 of=/sdcard/splash-backup.bin" to flash in the event of a soft brick via the fastboot flash command.
Might as well post the entire output of the parted command for other people to reference.
