Doesn't work on any FroYo Sense roms, and either does flashing the zip. Adb works though I think.
Sent from my Desire using XDA App
try pushing it to system/media, without running that ROM, I can't tell where it has to be pushed, but all it means is that it must be pushed somewhere else
ok i pushed it to /system/customize/resource and it's working great
try my solution i postet @ modaco forums
just boot up your desire in recovery mode and first mount the system
mount system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
change directory to /system/customize/resource
cd /system/customize/resource
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then just setup the syslink
(if you get an error that there is already a bootanimation.zip just delete it with)
rm -r bootanimation.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ln -s /data/local/bootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
CHECK TWICE THE CORRECT PATH. THE SYMLINK MUST BE MADE IN /system/customize/resource
check it simply with
ls -l
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
scroll a bit up and you should see: bootanimation.zip -> data/local/bootanimation.zip
if thats fine, your are done.
just put any bootanimation.zip to data/local and it should be shown @ startup. I only tested it @ The MCR r5 so im not sure if it works for other roms as well.
just push your favorite boot animation to /data/local and it *should* work.
Please confirm if it works.
hey man i used the guide in modaco but by mistake you told me to do the opposite one.........i symlinked the /data/local/bootanimation.zip to follow /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
how do i delete this one ????? and if this works then i guess the opposite works too so i think we might have a solution
ok man so let's go
the command to delete the symlink is
ln -f instead of ln -s so problem fixed
then i created the correct symlink and pushed my bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 (i symlinked that too) into /data/local
and now EVERYTHING WORKS AWSOMELY even the sound
Thanks a lot my friend!!!!!
nice to hear it works
if you made some mistake just go to /data/local and /system/customize/resource
and delete bootanimation.zip
rm -r bootanimation.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can check it with ls -l should be gone then.
Its kinda weird. If i Push the Bootanimation to /data/local and /system/customize/resource it seems not to work. But if i symlink its working.
Whatever. No need Recovery anymore. Just push whatever you want to /data/local

Or.....
Download boot animation changer from the market, then goto the web site Simproduction, where you will find a handy update.zip that has the exact symlink in it, in a flashable zip.
Handy
Using Boot Animation Changer LITE, I attempted to change my boot animation. Now, I have none at all (stuck with the Google ANDROID logo), but I have the stock boot image (the logo) still at the beginning of boot. There was no directory called bootscreen in /data/media or /system/media.
You create a bootanimation.zip file and place it in /data/local I believe I'll have to get back to you.
Edit: yes it is /data/local here's a link that you can get the file from extract the zip cd to /data/local within the extracted files and cp or adb push the .zip file to /data/local on your phone. This is not the stock boot animation I'm simply showing you a quick way to fix a boot animation without actually fixing the root of the problem.

Can not use Root Explorer to copy files to system\app with Build shubCRAFT CM6/Froyo/V1.3.
I tried mount R/W, but it did not change r/o to r/w.
Anybody can help? Thanks!
Need to copy Jbed.apk to that folder.
Thanks again.
copy apk
Hi zchf,
Try Android Commander "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628138" it works for me
sparkie_1
Here you go:
- open Terminal emulator:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
- open Root Explorer \system folder and press r/w
- voila
Thx to doberman
Thank you very much!
I copied the file, while the Java doesn't work yet.
Anybody uses this and suggest?
Helo
I found a way to return to the recovery 2e
recovery 2e
Copying a file using the Root Explorer
# unzip and put archive contents in a folder called recovery2e on /sdcard/
# first mount -o remount,rw /system (important options in Root Explorer for do this)
# file recovery copy to /system/bin (and replace)
# xbi folder contents copy to /system/xbin/ (and replace)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Method by captive thanks buddy
# put archive contents in a folder called recovery2e on /sdcard/
# open a shell and get root (ADB or Terminal on Phone, type su and pres enter / accept )
# remount /system rw (busybox mount -o remount,rw /system)
# rename recovery in /system/bin to recovery3e (for backup purposes)
# copy "recovery" from /sdcard/recovery2e/ to /system/bin/ (cp /sdcard/recovery2e/recovery /system/bin/)
# copy the folder /sdcard/recovery2e/xbin/recovery to /system/xbin/ (cp -rr /sdcard/recovery2e/xbin/recovery /system/xbin/)
# enjoy!

Isn't anyone going to comment on this?
Gurus: does it really work? That simple?
Thanks
Didn't work for me - used root explorer method. Now just hangs when I try to get recovery mode. Can get download mode ok still, and phone boots ok of course. Running JPM with root and voodoo5 3. Anything else to try?
Does not work on JPM....
it no works.
Phone: Doc's JP6 + voodoo pre3 + rooted
Method: Root explorer.
1, during copy the xbin folder to system, it shows "replace files" but after i check inside the system/xbin, the files are disappared??!! I did manually copy everything one after one from xbin to system/xbin, but i can't see where they are after copy.
2, anyway, i reboot the phone with 3b combo, the recovery mode still showing 3e.
so i say it no works. anyone tried the cable methed?
this thing work but it needs a little workaround as discussed by danzel. follow here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774500&page=188
Could you please update the instruction for jp6 + voodoo pre4?
abd remount (don't know why) isn't working and /system is always ro so adb push and shell (adb shell works) cmd aren't working.
It is correct to remove su and busybox int the extracted folder since i have both already installed?
I was on JPM, followed the instructions.
Phone couldn't boot, lost ability to enter recovery. Luckily I could still enter Download mode, flashed to JPM, but being on voodoo kernel before that, didn't managed to disable lagfix before getting into this trouble - Couldn't revert back to RFS, and without ability to enter recovery to format.
Finally reverted back to Eclair firmware, could see my beloved recovery again. No way I'm going through the above again.
The above is just my own experience, for reference just in case someone is as unlucky as me.
This is the clear step on recovering the recovery2e
Recover recovery2 e
1. uncompress the downloaded file recovery 2e and copy the direcotry to sdcard and rename it to recovery2e
2. Using root explorer copy File recovery from recovery2e on sdcard to /system/bin
3. Using root explorer copy Folder recovery in xbin to /system/xbin
4. If did not work try copy xbin folder over /system/xbin folder
Ok, confirmed working for me on JPM+Voodoo.
I installed Rom Manager too, and CWM Recovery is fully working too!! TNX

Your method DO NOT work at all. I cannot enter recovery mode.
Fortunately download mode is still available.
JPM+Voodoo5 pre6
lagigia, what didn't work for you?
Here's what I did:
put archive contents in a folder called recovery2e on /sdcard/
open a shell and get root
remount /system rw (busybox mount -o remount,rw /system)
rename recovery in /system/bin to recovery3e (for backup purposes)
copy "recovery" from /sdcard/recovery2e/ to /system/bin/ (cp /sdcard/recovery2e/recovery /system/bin/)
copy the folder /sdcard/recovery2e/xbin/recovery to /system/xbin/ (cp -rr /sdcard/recovery2e/xbin/recovery /system/xbin/)
enjoy!
if using the root explorer method, copy xbin folder content, do not try to overwrite the entire dir on top.

too late is there a way to solve it or get a step back?
thx!
i think u can just flash only the old kernel back and it will be fixed (only zimage).

Thanks, works fine on JPM/JP6
Could we get a newbie friendly guide please. Get root. What does that mean and should i just type what you quoted. Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Edited the first post and put the new, easy tutorial
Could i get some background on this, please?
Is it correct that:
1) recovery2e is the default samsung recovery?
2) new versions of recovery2e can't apply all the update.zip we were able to apply with the older versions? (unsigned, signed??)
3) This is why we need the old recovery2e to replace the new one?
4) Where did the issue started? Since Froyo releases?
5) Is this why we can't root Froyo FWs with an update.zip anymore like it was the case with Eclair?
I'm really sorry if this is kinda obvious but i never really saw any clear explanation about this. Hope someone could clear it up for me
1) Yes
2) Correct on recovery 2e you can't apply all the update.zip
4) Yes, New tutorial on fist post
4) The JPM ROM brings new recovery 3e
5) You can root phone by flash kernel with root by odni
Presenting you BIOS bootanimation for Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 :laugh:
Instructions:
Via Device:
- Download the file(s)
- Put it (them) on your SD Card/Internal Storage
- Open a Root Explorer and Unrar the file(s)
- Rename your existing bootanimation.qmg to bootanimation.qmg.bak and bootsamsungloop.qmg to bootsamsungloop.qmg.bak
- Copy/move the extracted files to System/media.
- Give them a rw-r-r permission
- Reboot and see the Magic
Via Adb:
- Download file(s) onto your Computer
- Unrar file(s) with your favorite Unarchiver on Windows
- Backup existing bootanimation:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd system\media
ren bootanimation.qmg bootanimation.qmg.bak
ren bootsamsungloop.qmg bootsamsungloop.qmg.bak
Or
Code:
cd system\media
mkdir .temp
chmod 777 .tmp
cp -R bootanimation.qmg \.temp
cp -R bootsamsungloop.qmg \.tmp
cd \system\media
rm bootanimation.qmg
rm bootsamsungloop.qmg
- Exit the Shell
- Push bootanimation via adb

chmod 744 bootsamsungloop.qmg
- Now reboot
Code:
adb reboot
Downloads:
There's two files !
1st File is the bootanimation created with 30FPS Parameter,
2nd File contains lot of bootanimations with different FPS parameters.
Download 1st file Here (Mediafire)
Download 2nd file Here (Mediafire)
Q/A:
WHY is there 2 different files ?
- Well, The boot process seems to be FASTER with 30FPS version. So maybe it will be SLOWER with lower FPS
How can I restore my previous bootanimation ?
- Simple, just delete the bootanimation.qmg and rename bootanimation.qmg.bak to bootanimation.qmg or copy bootanimation.qmg from .tmp folder if you used adb method.
Boot process is still FASTER with all of the files, what can I do ?
- Report it in comment, I will fix this in a next build.
Isn't there an easy way of doing this ?
- Sure, send me your Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, I will be glad to do it for you
Zip format bootanimation isn't available yet ! Because Tab 3 10.1 uses QMG format instead. But if anyone want the Zip format, let me know, I will post it.

Here you go (see in attachments).
Thanks for this! I always find myself looking for a good bios boot ani for all of my devices. Does it mean I'm old? Maybe.
Does it mean I'm a nerd? Maybe. I just like to think that it means that I am a beast.
