i9000m to i9000 & No boot animation.

Just a little curious...
I have a i9000m from Bell, and somewhere between applying some lag fixes, overclocking, a trying to get into recovery via buttons (fail, only adb works), my boot logo now changes from "GT-i9000m" to "GT-i9000" ("m" disappears) during boot. I assume that's from applying things that are made around a i9000? And also I have no more boot/off animation. Guessing both of these things are from doing Mimocan's lag fix? I since then undid his and changed to RyanZA's one click v1 (update.zip version), but it all remains.
Wondering if anybody out there has some wisdom to share
I'm not too too worried about these things, but Its kinda lame with no animation If anything, I would remove the startup sound, but only when I get my animation back.

My boot animation also doesnt show up anymore But you can hear the swoooosh sounds and so on...

not sure if this applies to your problem.
I had a similar issue after lag fix, noticed that playlogos1 and playlogosnow files were exactly the same. I got the original playlogos1 file from another galaxy and renamed to playlogosnow, then replaced the dodgy playlogosnow from my phone.... that fixed it for me. (files are located in \system\bin\)
The way I understand it, the lag fix renames the original startup animation from playlogos1 to playlogosnow, then copies a script called playlogos1 in its place which ensure the fix is applied after reboot, the script also calls the animation "playlogosnow".... in my case I screwed up and ran the lag fix twice, which resulted in both files being exactly the same and the original animation getting wiped.
Hope that makes sense.

The poster above me is spot on. Just flash more roms to fix it i guest

playlogos1 is the boot logo, the mount on boot script for lagfix renames the boot logo to playlogosnow.
Somewhere along the line one of the devs may have included a logo that is used instead of your stock one, specially when reverting. ( Prevents problems if you try reverting without actually doing the lag fix. )

Old thread bump
I have similar behavior to OP.
My boot screen shows GT-I9000M for a few seconds, then it turns to GT-I9000 before going to the animation (the M disappears).
I first noticed this about a week ago when i started using Doc's roms, currently I'm running Docs' JPA v7 with no lagfixes.
I'd like to get the correct boot screen back with the "M", is it just a matter of getting an original copy of a bell bootlogos1 file and dropping it into /system/bin (overwriting the current one)?

Doesnt OCLF have the option to restore boot animation\logo??

I'm not sure if OCLF had that option, ive only ever played with the lagfix options in Clockwork Manager. I don't see any options to restore boot ani/logos there.

Problem when modding
Hi, I have managed to get my Adam to start but it is stuck on "Cynogenmod7" screen and just keeps running the start up animation and doesnt do anything else. The screen goes blank after a while and the only way to recover is to reboot the device which gets stuck in the same place again. Can someone please help?
Thanks

If you haven't already be sure to clear system data+cache in the recovery menu.. That usually solves boot loop issues..

[SOLVED] Boot animation missing.

Well, usually when I boot my TMN 2.1 ROM, I see a TMN splash screen and then the regular Android boot animation with the glowing text.
However, from day before yesterday, this is not happening. The TMN splash appears and the screen goes blank. Then after some time the regular Android text animation appears and immediately loads the launcher/home.
Everything appears to be working fine. Even the time taken for boot looks normal but the screen suffers a blackout for some time during the boot.
Any idea how to fix it or why this happens?

In my lg gt540 reference thread in developers part there is a post about possible solutions when you brick your phone, check it out, hope it helps!

hi lavero, i just wanted to ask which app you use for customizing your phones visuality like launchers,widgets,etc. i couldnt able to pm you cause im at the school now and gives problem with pm'ing.
sorry for my english.

@lavero: The phone is not bricked. :/ It works fine. Only boot animation is missing.

Check if you don't get to see recovery too. If so then is bricked but not big deal just check my thread and do what is in there
Now if you manage to get in recovery try flashing boot.img again but always erase then flash. What was the last ROM you flashed?

Am in the stock ROM with fastboot. The ROM used to work fine. I installed a few apps and ubuntu(from nexus one hacks)... The recovery works fine too..
The boot animation(Android logo) is stored in boot.img? Not in system.img? Looks like I will need a bit of tinkering to extract boot.img from the kdz.
Anyway, thanks. I could just try a clean flash. Restoring apps is the only pain since I use link2sd. I should've made a NAND before that day. :/

boot animation caused bootloop?

so i used "reactor" from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11791096 and now my phone is boot looping. ive used many different boot animations and NEVER had this problem. can a boot animation cause this? is there a way i can get into the system to delete this thing or am i looking at another reformat?

Nandroid Restore to a point prior to flashing this boot animation.
are you sure those bootanimations are compatible with our phone?

shame on me for not making a backup. i never flash roms so ive never used any backup programs except for tb. how do i tell if a boot animation is compatible with our phone? ive always just copied the boot animation over to the system with root explorer and never had an issue
i forgot to mention that the animation runs perfectly fine until the point where it would normally go to my home screen, then it just freezes, then reboots. not sure if that makes a difference

Screen Res is the thing to look for as long as it's 480*800 it should work.

That's odd. I use that app well and i've never had a problem. it should of been 480*800.

I'm experiencing the exact same problem. I used Absolute System Tools and then Root Explorer, anyhow, it plays, but then reboots. I got it to load the phone system and boot up correctly ONCE, then next time I rebooted, bootloop! Thankfully I used the recovery console to manually replace that bootanimation with the default system one and got right back into my phone!! Thankfully didn't have to reformat it!!!!!!!!!!!! Just went into ClockworkMod recovery and mounted system, then adb'd into there to fix it.

[Q] How can I get rid of the Trinity boot animation?

I've reverted back to stock Kernel for the moment. But the Trinity boot animation still comes up. Trinity is definitely uninstalled, but the boot image is still there.
Thanks.

its /system/media/bootanimation.zip. delete it or replace it with the bootanimation.zip of choice

Thanks!
I now realize that I was supposed to do a backup. Stupid me. Just having fun trying out different Kernels.
