So today i tried to install a new boot animation. Using TWRP I flashed the zip, but when I rebooted, the default animation was still there. So i decided to use adb and push the boot animation to /system/media. Now, all of a sudden, the phone will not boot. I even tried restoring the backup i made and push the original bootanimation.zip. Still, it didn't boot.

I had CM11 M6 installed. I wanted to flash this kernel called Furnace. I used the AOSP version, not sure if I should've used stock. Before I flashed it, I tried to wipe the cache. It was taking about 5 minutes so I force rebooted it. After I did that, my phone would be on the LG boot screen for about 3 minutes (before it was about 5 seconds) then I would see the CM boot screen. Overnight I tried wiping the cache again. When I woke up, I was on the lock screen. I flashed Furnace and then I was stuck on the LG boot screen. I went back into recovery and tried resetting to factory or whatever it's called and it took awhile to format /cache but it eventually did. Still, I was stuck on the LG boot screen. For some reason I thought installing a new recovery would help (I had CWM before). I pushed a TWRP recovery file for my device to my phone. I then put this command in the adb shell: dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery (recoveryfilename.img was replaced with what it was named). I rebooted into recovery from the old recovery, and on the top left it said secure booting error. I tried restarting and booting into recovery, no luck. Now I'm not really sure how to flash a new recovery because I can't get into recovery. I'm pretty sure to fix my booting problems I need to reflash CM, which will flash CM's kernel...?
Also, when I try to use fastboot commands on my computer, I get ERROR: could not get pipe properties
Can I use adb while it's in this boot state? Please help!
By the way, I'm using a mac
Edit: Looked around on the Furnace Kernel thread, I guess I used a too new version of the kernel for CM11...

Hi There,
I am trying to change the boot animation on my Nexus 4 running Android 5.1 Stock. The device is rooted. I have tried with various apps to change the boot animation on my device (Boot Animator, Boot Box).
None of my efforts have worked. The only thing that has happened is that the coloured balls on start up no longer show. My boot Animation at the moment consist only of the Android logo. If I try to copy a bootanimation.zip file to System/Media, I always get the error message "Operation failed".
Has anybody any ideas?
Check out this bootanimation - https://www.dropbox.com/s/k63gn2cvyif47a7/BootAnimation_Marvel_Flashable.zip?dl=0
Its a flashable zip. It works. Open it up and see what you are doing wrong.

Make sure you have full root , make sure you're root file manager is mounted to write files in system.
Check bootanimation zips permissions are set correctly rw-r-r.
Easy, download a flashable bootanimation (.zip), open recovery and flash it.
Bottom half of the screen is cracked which makes it very difficult to " swipe to" do anything in TWRP. I locked my device and was unable to unlock with backup pin because the keyboard does not function properly. So I rebooted into recovery and accidentally wiped Calvin Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache. Rebooted phone and it's stuck in a boot loop. I tried using adb but I could not get it to swipe into adb sideload. I found that connecting the phone to my PC does open up /SDCARD/TWRP but there are no other folders in /SDCARD. I moved a ROM from my PC to the TWRP folder and was able to flash it but got stuck in boot loop. Tried flashing a different ROM and it shows a new loading screen but still stuck in boot loop. No other folders are being created to SDCARD.. Haven't had this pphone for more than a week.... Was thinking I could maybe flash a non touch TWRP or CWM to avoid having to swipe to get things done and use the hardware keys.. but why is it being stuck in boot loop after it says it successfully flashed the ROM.
I did flash the 30b file it says to flash prior to flashing the 2 custom lollipop ROMs in the tmo dev forum. Any help, links, advise would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I have installed Unofficial CM 13 successfully, but I forgot to root the device, so I go back and flash supersu file and reboot - I think I flashed wrong version for marshmallow. now phone stuck at cm boot animation, I have no recovery, only has access to download mode. I also have no access to phone through adb or fastboot.
I was in the similar situation before, where I was stuck at lg logo, and fix it by flashing stock rom (now I cannot find that thread), but now it tries to boot the rom, seems like a different situation.
What should I do?
lg g2 stuck on lg logo

My Lenovo P1ma40 Vibe stuck in a boot loop
I have no Custom Recovery installed, everything is original. I have changed my Boot Animation and rebooted my phone, but unfortunately, it stuck in a Boot Loop(never-ending). And, I haven't made any Backups.
I have many important data stored on my phone, so can't go with Factory Reset. I also tried to replace the "bootanimation.zip" with ADB, but it shows :
List of devices attached
But, then shows nothing, I then reinstalled the driver from Device Management Window(on reading a few answers). But, all my efforts were useless.
Since I have no Custom Recovery installed, I couldn't clear my Dalvik Cache as well. Can I do something to save my Phone and Data as well? I guess if I could replace the custom boot animation with the original, my phone will be saved.
Thanks in advance!!!
PLEASE HELP ME OUT
