[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. :/

[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.

Bootlogo issue

I'm locked and rooted. I used SS to install Rage Rom. Doing this changed the boot logo to the something else. I need to send my phone back to Verizon but need to get my boot logo changed back before I do.
How would I go about doing this? I can't seem to find a stock boot logo anywhere. Does anyone have one?
Thanks

Rude behaviour one the dev's part!
Edit this will fail you must Rsd to stock AFAICT but
RikRong may chime in with a fix.
Go my stickys & flash the stock boot logo zip from SS bootstrap.

There is a stock logo in this thread. DL it, place it in your SD, and flash in recovery.

I thought logo.bin was locked along with boot & recovery?

I flashed the stock boot image. It changed... but not to the correct one. The logo it was before flash was the word Rage with the Moto logo behind it. Now it's changed to the words "Rage HD". I double and triple checked that it was the stock one but it's not changing it to stock.

Since the ROM changed his boot image, he should be able to reflash the stock one. I think I remember flashing boot logos back in my SS days, but that was long time ago.

"Rage HD" is the boot logo that comes with the Rage ROM for the Razr HD. Are you sure you grabbed the correct one off the thread? If you can't get it to flash, you'll probably need to RSD back to stock.

This is the 1st big m.
If it is the 2nd one a restore should fix.

It was definitely the right one. I chose the Moto red M one and the name of the zip is StockBootLogo. It didn't change it from the Rage HD. Someone else had suggested using fastboot to send the logo.bin over. I can try that and see if it works.

Thanks for the help guys. I was able to do the fastboot flash and it worked perfectly. I had no idea how to do that before too so there was a little learning too. :laugh:

Oh wow, that didn't even run through my head. I guess I've just always flashed in recovery since my BL is unlocked. It is good to hear you got it taken care of, though.

Actually, the bootlogo is the only thing you can (cross-)flash with a locked bootloader. For example you could take the SoftBank logo out of a 201M *.xml.zip and flash it onto an XT907. It works.
But ok, it's not that useful in most cases...

If you use this it must work. Just copy your stock boot animation to pc take backup and back up everything in your recovery. Here is the fixed stuff for that animation

Can't find bootanimation.zip, black screen in booting after editing bootanimation

I recently tried to change the boot animation but could not find any bootanimation.zip. The only thing close to it was a file called bootanimation in system/bin. When I changed my custom bootanimation.zip to bootanimation and changed bootanimation to bootanimation.bak the new custom boot did not work. When I tried getting back the original boot animation it by changing it from bootanimation.bak to bootanimation it did not work and still was showing a black screen. I've checked permissions and anything I could find online but couldn't find a solution. Any help would be appreciated. Much thanks!

Stock Samsung don't work with boot animation.zip, but if you are with AOSP/Lineage based ROMs you find it in system/media folder.
