Well, I have been looking for this file in every location I could find online, but this bootanimation.zip file is nowhere to be found!
I did find a file called bootanimation, but it's not a zip file.. it's in /system/bin
I did find the oemlogo.mbn it's in /cust/roundhound/au/logo .. but aside from that I can't find anything about the bootanimation.zip
Any ideas?
EDIT: After following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014183
I opened the bootanimation file I found in the bin folder.. and I found these 3 locations in this file:
data/cust/media
data/local
system/media
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But bootanimation.zip is in Neither of these locations!!
Mine are in /system/media. I would just try putting a bootanimation in that folder and rebooting to see if it changes. Mine works fine.
COOL.. Thanks
Uhm otherwise it will be in /cust/hw/ideos_x/media or similar.
I've found needed bootanimation.zip after i loaded phone in purple screen mode. (volume-up+down + power)

Well i have a Samsung Vibrant rooted with OCLF and running Launcher Pro. I tried to change my boot screen which i read up on here before doing. I read on this forum theres is 2 ways to actually do it, which is using the command on your pc which im not too good with codes so i tried the 2nd option which is to copy and paste using the Root Explorer. So i copied the bootanimation.zip from SD card while on mount r/w and paste it to system/media and then reboot. I still have the stock boot up not sure if i did something wrong, this is my 1st android phone which i like way better than my Icrap so any help will be appreciated.

Why dont you give this a try
USE THE GALAXY I9000 BOOTUP / SHUTDOWN ANIMATIONS & SOUND
rko did an awesome job with these flashable bootup/shutdown animations (place them on the /sdcard (internal memory) NOT sdcard/sd (external). Be sure and thank him for his work!

Thanks to s15274n
i tired it it doesnt work either comes up with error code
You have to have a rom that has a hacked kernel that allows for support of bootanimation.zip the stock vibrant rom does not have this ability (Thankyou Samsung), so simply putting the file in the correct folder will do nothing if you don't have the kernel that utilizes it. Currently there are 2 roms that will work with this:
Obsidian V2 - JK2 Official Froyo Based 2.2
or
Froyo Macnut R10
you put the .zip files in /system/media which is NOT the right way of doing it
extract the zip file anywhere on your desktop and copy the bootsamsung.qmg into your internal sdcard.
then run root explorer on your phone, copy the same .qmg file from your sdcard into /system/media folder

A bootanimation.zip is a zip with a series of images in it, there is no qmg in it. The OP was not asking about the qmg I don't think. He wants to be able to use his own bootscreens which cannot be done with qmg, only with bootanimation.zip and a hacked kernel.

obviously you didnt read what op said:

meaning hes dropping the whole zip file into /system/media through root explorer
i just told him the proper way of doing it as it was discussed here
the only mistake i did was use the "bootanimation.zip" as reference
since OP didnt even mention where he got the bootanimation.zip and i assumed things
im sorry about the confusion
ok sorry for the confusion and i thank you both for the responses.Lets see if i can explain it a little better.(It wont let me post a link but i found it here on XDA which is the THC boot up) the bootanimation.zip file i was trying to use which does not have the qmg for me to extract so i tried to put in system/media which did not work. Then i tried chichu_9 boot up screen which he recommended and did exactly as motoyola did which i extracted the qmg file and put in sd card (not external) then copy/paste into system/media which replaced the stock qmg file for the vibrant then i reboot and still stuck with the stock boot up screen. I am currently running Eugenes leaked 2.2 rom which works pretty good so far just cannot change boot screens for some reason so if i missed something or did something incorrect pls feel free to correct me and thanks in advance.....
hi there i wanted to know if someone can help me change my boot animation and sound im am on cyanogenmod-7-08162011-nightly-buzz
ok, download boot animation, extract bootanimation.zip from it / download zip and rename it to bootanimation.zip if the only thing it contains is pictures and text file and copy it to data/local using root explorer or anything else thats capable of doing it, reboot and check if it works, done
Hi I created a bootanimation and want to make it flashable. I followed tutorials from the net and xda. I got two files META-INF and system.
I put my bootanimation.zip in system/media. That's all. I didn't touch META-INF .
After flashing the zip in cwm, it says Installation aborted . Need Help please...
thats because the flashable zip wasnt for your phone
status 0 - wrong update binary
status 6 - wrong update script
here is my template for you
simply download it
open it in winrar (or if using phone just unzip everything)
open the system foler
you will notice a framework folder that is currently empty
you can leave this folder as it is
just create folders to where you want to flash the file to
for example your bootanimation.zip create the following
in the system folder create a folder called media
in the media folder place your bootanimation.zip
the same is true for any other files you want to flash
if you want to flash a file to system/framework just put a file in that folder
if you want to flash a file to system/app just create a folder called app in the system folder and put what you want to flash there
if on winrar you just have to open the zip and right click and create a folder - no need to unzip everything
if on phone and you have unzipped everything just zip everything back up when done
flashable zip template can be download from here
if you are using stock rom you need to enable custom boot animations first using the custom boot enabler zip
(if you already have a custom boot animation and bootanimation.zip working in a custom rom then you dont need to do this)

If just a bootanimanion, push using root browser only
Or using a another flashable bootanimation file and the replace the bootanimation.zip with yours
I attch it . Credits to its maker
works perfectly! thanks

Which Alliance? You could try this. Rename your bootanimation.zip by putting a .bak on the end. Then put this file (from inside zip) in your system/ bin folder. Set permissions to 755
If you are on Alliance NE9 you can now boot into safestrap and flash a custom bootanimation zip (with qmg files) and see if it works. If you are using the OA8, you will need to put your bootanimation files in manually. The permissions for those is 644.
I hosted a thread for a guy that goes by pas2001 that does great bootanimations using qmg files. It is over on the Galaxy S5 international forum and they work on our Galaxy S5s. Let me know if you'd like a link.

You might need this bootanimation bin file then. The small one called null is from stock OA8. Rename it.

Seems I already have that file in my bin folder with those permissions

Replace that file (again, renaming it first so you can restore it later if you wish) rename your bootanimation.zip file, and throw these into your system/media folder (take them out of this zip) and reboot.
Add this one too. It is your shut down animation. Set all of these to 644

Ok i got it.. but i had to set perms to 755 instead of 644. Cant thank you enough bro..
So those from the link... they are ok to flash on our phone our should i do it manually?
Researched a bit about this but almost all tutorials are saying that you can just replace the bootanimation.zip found in /system/media. So I did. But there was no media folder in /system. So I scoured my whole root folder and found that bootanimation.zip is located in /lbh/media for tn7 devices (or at least mine) . So I tried to replace that. Rebooted the device but no boot animation played. and yes I did apply the proper permission for the zip file. So I just reapplied the stock animation. I did this manually btw. Am I doin' something wrong? Need help.
nevermind. fixed it.
