[Q] Flashing "epic_stock_boot.zip"

I just loaded SyndicateROM and wanted to flash the stock Sprint boot animation back onto my phone, so I found this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951184
And tried using the attached file ("epic_stock_boot.zip") and flashing it in CWM, and it successfully removed the ACS boot animation, but it then boots immediately to the phone without displaying the bootanimation or the sound. I am curious as to if I am doing anything wrong. Do I need to mount /system in CWM before flashing? Is there an alternative to do this other than flashing the .zip file, for example, can I adb push/Root Explorer push the .qmg files to a certain folder in /system? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Restore stock bootanimation?

I recently flashed a custom boot and shut down animation. I am wanting to try a new one. Can I just flash the new boot animation? I am worried the shutdown animation will still be there. Since the new one ia only a boot. What are the steps to return to the stock animations? Thanks

Depending on the ROM you are using there should be a bootanimation.zip in the /system/media/ simply make a copy and then move any new bootanimation.zip to that location using root explorer.
This is only for the bootanimation you will need to repeat the steps respectively for shutdown animation as well. Good luck!

Xylon Bootanimation

Hi I was trying to change the boot animation in xylon rom when I come across a bootanimation file in system/bin but noticed it wasn't a zip file. I removed it pasted my boot animation in the same directory and even tried removing the .zip from the file name but now my phone has no boot animation :/ would be very greatfil if someone could help. Thanks

I remember seeing somewhere in the Xylon thread that the shiny Xylon boot animation is not really a boot animation. You have to stick the boot animation into some other folder. Try going a few pages back in the Xylon thread.

Tried doing that, it says place bootanimation.zip in system/media the problem is, I have deleted the boot animation file from system bin and I'm now stuck with no boot animation. Never known a boot animation to be so awkward they should just make it over writable in system/media

Rename what you pasted . to what it is factory.
Might work lol

You might wanna pop over to the Xylon thread, higher chances of your question getting answered.

[Q] Boot animation issues

Hi guys,
I tried to install a custom boot animation onto my i9505 running CM12 and stupidly downloaded and installed the wrong resolution boot animation. Now when I reboot the Samsung logo shows up fine then the phone goes black for a while and boots up normally so there's no huge issue but I was wondering how I could recover the original CM boot animation/any animation at all. Have tried to flash a correct boot animation and tried to install it through system/media and changing permissions but still nothing seems to recover it. Any help on this is greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Rohan

Here you go. This is the default Cyanogenmod boot animation that I extracted from my copy of AntaresOne's optimized CM12.1. Copy it over to system/media and let it overwrite the bugged one, then reboot.
If that boot animation is too plain for you, I have one in my signature that works.

Strephon, thank you very much for taking the time out to extract the boot animation from CM! Much appreciated. By overwrite I assume you just mean flash the zip through custom recovery or is there something else I should do?

Use a file explorer and physically copy it from your download location to /system/media.

Didn't work. Not quite sure what I've done ??? but I do appreciate your time and effort with this Strephon.

No problem. It didn't work because I forgot to tell you one important step. You have to set the permissions for the file to rw-r--r-- for Android to see it. The CM12 file manager should be able to do that.

boot animation help?!!

So I used ROM toolbox to change the binary to enable custom boot animation on my note 4 n910f.
It didn't work so I reset it back to stock boot animation.
However it won't change back... when the phone boots it stays on "powered by android" screen until the phone fully boots up. Tried changing the .qmg to stock in system/media but no luck.
Any ideas? Thanks guys

Did you set permissions to ( rwrr ) in system/media ?

Yes, rom toolbox flashed the animations through twrp and automatically set permissions. I checked after and they was correct.

Probably boot animation file is currupted.
Download any note 4 in rom and open with root explorer and extract 3 files.from rom/system/media
Bootanimation.qmg
Bootanimation loop.qmg
Shutdown.qmg
Replece them then set permissions reboot
