That boot logo, or boot screen is in a restricted partition. Even with root access it's hard to change. it basically takes pushing a copy of the partition without the image on to the phone then writing a script to push a new image in the hole created. It all has to be done through adb
not working on P500 T___T
Does this work in void. echo? I'm afraid to mess up

Yes, it works.
Will this work with mik's CM7 beta rom?
hey the phone needs to be rooted???
you dont need the App you can change it bye downloading the zip file for the new boot animation putting it on your SD card then using rootexplorer to back up the stock animation in /data/local/bootanimation.zip after you back up the stock animation just place the new one in the same folder /data/local/ and rename the file to bootanimation.zip then restart. Here is a few animations to start with

i downloaded a rom where the logo was changed... but since i changed to nessy, i lost it. i don't care about the boot logo anyways.
Cant find an app called boot animation installer in my market...
search "absolute system" in market
I am currently running the CM7 nightlies off the eMMC on my Nook Color.
When the device is powered on or rebooted, when loading from the eMMC it displays three things before getting to the boot animation:
1) "Touch the Future of Reading" in portrait.
2) A quick, corrupted-looking "Loading" in portrait.
3) The word "ANDROID" with a blinking cursor behind it in landscape.
After those three items display, then it shows the boot animation (in portrait).
If I boot from SD card, none of those three boot splashes show. So I'm guessing the three boot splashes are stored internally. Maybe even in the magic /boot partition we aren't supposed to touch.
Can we change the boot splashes? If anything, I'd rather have a blank/black screen displayed instead of the three ugly splashes there are now.
Having one screen would be nice also. Something maybe that just has an Android log in portrait before the CyanogenMod animation starts.
I'm booting CM7 off uSD and I'm seeing those 3 screens. I installed multiboot so now I don't see "the future....." but a boot menu, but I still see the other two.
So, at least from reading about the Gtab, I assume NC has a somewhat similar way of doing things...
The first screen is its own partition, so you would need to figure out where that is, find the image on it, then replace it.
The second is (I think?) the command to load either recovery or boot to the rom.
The third is the kernel starting up (again, I think?). Dal probably put that there so people know what is going on, but I bet it could be removed and replaced by nothing pretty easy.
It looks like with CyanogenMod 7.1, it goes from the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen straight to the boot animation.
I tested a 4/30 build of 7.1.0 and it just flashed the screen instead of showing the "Loading" and "ANDROID." text.
So, we're almost there.
Where's 7.1?

I'm not interested in changing the boot animation. I want to change the static boot splash on power on.
It use to say "Touch the Future of Reading", and with the Nook 1.2 software, it says "Read Forever" or something.
The static splash may be in /boot
I'd love to get rid of those three as well...
On a sidenote, does anyone else have a REALLY long delay on the "Touch the future" screen whenever they boot up the first time after charging? Mine sits there for at least 2-3 minutes before moving on to the Loading and Android_ screens.
So Ive found another boot animation I love and have put it to use. Issue is the boot screen doesnt match. Im hoping someone has the PS skills to match them up. Id like to see the boot screen with a black background and change the HTC to a regular blue and the Incredible to a Cyan.
The boot screen to match in reference is the Helix boot screen.

Secondly anyone know where the shutdown screens belong in the ROM? I know where the boot screens go, but not a clue on shut down screens or what to name the file.
Do you mean the boot (turn your phone) off animation? That is in the same folder as the boot animation. If you mean screen off animation (tap power button with phone already on) I'm not sure where that is, I've never known anyone to mess with it.

That is the animation Im referring to. Its not in the same folder as the boot animation in Redemption. I was browsing in there this morning. For the boot animation it goes in the System/Customize/Resource folder.
Oh, that is odd. For the few roms I've changed boot animations (Nils Business Gingersense 2.1, 3.0, Synergy, Optimized Shift, Hybrid, etc.), the down animation was always in that same folder. So whatever the boot animation is titled that is included in the rom, give the down animation the same title.
Example,
Nils 3.0 Gingersense boot animations are titled hTCbootanimation and hTCdownanimation, I rename my boot animation the same thing. I know the title is case sensitive.
Im aware of how to do it. I have no issue using Root Explorer or ADB to push the files to their location.
I just have no idea where that location is or what its supposed to be called or if it even exists.

There is nothing in that folder.
The Redemption Rom uses the OEM boot names: VZM_bootanimation. There is no shutdown animation.
Edit- never mind, I thought you were asking a different question.
So my nexus 7 is stuck in a boot loop. It's been like this for awhile and I just decided to try to get it fixed.
Before I shut it down last, I set it to reboot to recovery. However, somehow, the recovery got corrupted somehow.
So now, whenever it boots up, it boots up into the bootloader, then immediately attempts to boot into the broken recovery. It then continues this loop until the tablet runs out of battery.
Fast boot won't connect, since it exits the boot loader so quickly. Holding down the button combo to boot to the bootloader still causes it to attempt to boot to the recovery.
I can't flash anything or wipe anything because both the recovery and fastboot won't connect.
Any ideas?

why on earth would you do that? wow.
Edit: Lol so sorry completely misread the statement I quoted. Must have been high or something. Disregard the "wow" I've reserved it for myself. Anyway if you've still not found a solution you might check out what APX mode and NVflash are about. It's basically a mode even lower than bootloader. I haven't used it but you should read up on it, it might be the way out:

-----------end of edit--------------
- how "immediately" does it try to go from bootloader to recovery. maybe if you setup fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and have it ready to go you can try sending it really fast.
- try holding all three buttons down for a long time, like forever.
- try disconnecting the battery and leaving it for a while, maybe overnight.
can't see any other options. unless the device is recognized in any form by computer when it's completely off.

Hi all,
I'm sure I am still one of many that cannot use XCnathan32's solution to fix their phones. I think the biggest problem is that it is difficult to discern between hardware vs. software being the culprit. If hardware, nothing I do can help. I've wanted to use the solution but when the computer cannot even find the device/recognize it, I cannot even start the solution. Let me explain what my phone is like/ the state the boot loader is in:
Google logo is the only thing to show.
Even when trying to boot from bootloader -> recovery mode, it only goes to the google logo and boot loops from there.
Unfortunately I did not unlock developer options / USB debugging so my bootloader is LOCKED, my computer does not recognize the 6P at all unless in boot loader. It gives a strange description of the device, but does not treat it as a device in the device manager. Even if it does show I cannot update it's driver. It essentially seems like only the bootloader is a device rather than the phone.
I have tried leaving the device to boot in hopes of it miraculously starting and allowing me to go to developer options, this has failed as well.
Would anyone know/ be willing to explain how to proceed from here? I'm sure the options are limited when the device does not even show up on the computer.
Note: I don't know much about TWRP, ADB, SDK etc, its all 2 days new to me.
Thanks for any help!

I got it! Used a blowdryer though. Unfortunately it went back to boot looping even after I did a factory reset. I'm going to apply the fix now that OEM has been unlocked and USB debugging!

I'm currently writing a guide to get to the OEM unlock stage on your thread . Thanks so much for all of your work, my phone is currently booting. Its got the google logo with a unlocked pad lock on the bottom and then it switches to a section with android warnings saying "Device software cant be checked for corruption, please lock the bootloader".
Its actually bootlooping again... I've flashed all the images possible on your downloads part of the thread Not sure if there's another option to take to get rid of the bootlooping.

That's the exact guide I used. I also used his first guide before that one was published by XDA. It almost seems too simple though. I feel like I'm missing something. I flashed the 48B_A4 firmware, then the twrp3_1_1_4Cores.img and reboot. It still boot looped. I then proceeded to flash the other possible imgs to see if they would work. I cant flash the EX kernel since I can't boot into recovery since it just boot loops again.

This will throttle the big cluster of processors making it so the phone can stop boot looping by using only the small clusters.

Format all partition except for internal storage.
1. Flash N2G48B_vendor.img into vendor partition
2. Flash N2G48B_4Cores.img into boot partition
3. Flash purenexus_angler-7.1.2-20170725-OFFICIAL.zip
4. Flash BeansGapps-Full-7.1.x-20170610.zip
5. Flash EX4_1_1_4Cores.zip (Elemental Kernel), step up the core speed one notch on first screen, leave the rest on default.
Reboot.
Waited about 10min on the animation screen (4 dot jumping), eventually phone completed booting

sorry to hijack your thread, can i know the steps that you took to enable oem unlock ?
Because i am in your similar situation, all i can see is the google logo & bootloader is locked (i cannot go to the settings menu because the phone doesnt bootup, i am stuck in the google logo).
If i run the fastboot flashing unlocl it fails (since bootloader is locked)

You need to use a heat gun or hair dryer above the fingerprint sensor. Keep phone at low battery but not empty. 5%

How did you know your battery was at 5%? At the fastboot screen I see that the battery says OK, but not a specific number. Does that battery field change when it gets below "OK"?

This is my phone. Can you help me?
Hi there - I ended up having to use a blow dryer to throttle the phone using High heat. I wouldn't recommend it, it wasnt safe and my phone after fixing stopped working in an hour. If your phone isn't working despite following the fix above get a new phone, the pixel 3a seems like a nice new option, good luck!

OK, I don't have a bootloop problem per se, but I changed my battery and now it only goes to the Reboot bootloader screen. The arrow keys don't work to change the menu. Sometimes I can get it to Recovery mode, but neither the power key or arrow keys will work. Once I got it to the Start, but the power key did nothing. ADB devices returns nothing, so even though I installed the Google USB drivers in Android Studio I can't get the computer and the Nexus to talk to each other. I'm ready to try heating the device, but that goes against everything I've ever known about electronic devices. Are you sure? .
