I need help with restoring the stock Galaxy S2 boot animation.
This was what happened. I installed jrummy's Root Tools.
In my eagerness, I replaced the original boot animation without backing up!
Now when I want to undo the changes that has been done, many an online search suggested going to system/media and removing bootanimation.zip so that bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop can work their magic...
And here is where the problem is, bootanimation.zip is nowhere to be found!
I wonder if Root Tools had totally overwritten bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop.
All I want is to get back the original bootanimation sequence.
Can anyone help with this? TIA!!!
Here is the original bootanimation
Just unzip the attached zip file and copy and paste the attached bootsamsung.qmp and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/media and you are done..
BTW is your poweron sound intact??
Thanks bro! The poweron sound is still present.
I have resolved the problem. Apparently, I have been going at it wrongly.
I had been using Astro as file manager but it didn't allow me to access data/local where bootanimations.zip was.
After I switched to RootExplorer and removed the offending file, voila!

does some one succeded to change boot animation ?
Yes, i found a nice guide somewhere in a thread in this forums. Sry, but can't remember where, maybe you can find it by using the search ;-) .
the problem is that zip file dont work for sga
The tutorial i folled, worked by moving and copying some files in the filesystem (root needed)...
I'll search it tomorrow if you/no one else finds a link to the guide.

hello guys i want to share how to change your bootanimation zip to custom animation,
im currently still using froyo, so if you use custom rom the steps might be different,
but should work for GBKPE too,
i download the bootanimation files from this thread
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905538
here's the steps :
things u need :
-ROOTED ACE
-ROOT Explorer installed or similiar app
-rename the animation you download to "bootanimation.zip"
-paste the bootanimation.zip you downloaded into your sdcard,anywhere is fine
-use root explorer open the system/bin
-look for the "samsungloop" file, move it to your sdcard first, just in case, you can either move it or copy it again to another place, (in my case, i copy it into system/ and another to my sdcard)
-go to system/bin ,look for "bootanimation", and rename it to "samsungloop", if you use ROOT explorer, don't forget to change the previlege first, change R/W permission first to R/O,,,(the bootanimation is not the file where you rename your animation you downloaded to be bootanimation.zip)
-put the "bootanimation.zip" (the file you downloaded and rename it's names) to
system/media
-in system/media, there are 2 files if i'm not mistaken, bot of the files are with the extension .qmq, just rename it with root explorer to .qm extension file
-reboot your galaxy ACE
-done
if you follow my steps well, you should see your animation after reboot, if it's just a blank screen, then you do some mistakes in the steps,
feel free to ask if you still don't understand , sory for my bad english though

Hi All,
I had flashed the bootanimation from the Nexus Prime on my X10i and it was working fine. But now I am not able to change the bootanimation by any means and am stuck with the Nexus boot animation.
I have tried flashing the stock bootanimation.zip through xrecovery, as well as tried replacing the file manually, but once i reboot, the phone reverts to the old boot animation.
How can i chnage by boot animation now???

Wrong section, Post your questions in Q & A section
Anyways go to /data/local & delete bootanimation.zip if there's any, then go to /system/media & delete bootanimation.zip if there's any, Then flash the new boot animation that you want
Did I mention wrong section?
Use root explorer or any file manager which can access root files, manually delete the bootanimation from systems/media and replace it with your file.

Ok, so there this copy of the old bootanimation.zip in /data/local - deleting that copy did the trick for me. Thanks!
..with the bootanimation, yes again...
So, I installed a costum ROM, whit was making big problems for me, changed it, but that sucker bootanimation still there. Deleted from the system/media folder the bootanimation.zip file, replaced the BOOTSAMSUNG and BOOTSAMSUNGLOOP.QMG files....now, i get an animation, but on the startup screen that ugly image still appears...
is there any flashable apk file whic will change back the fon to its stock animation or i can explode this phone?

find the bootanimation.zip (often located in System/media or in Data/local) and erase it. I usually do this, or, better, go back to samsung stock rom, I advice you XXKI3, is a full rom and it has a pit file. You shouldn t have problem. bye
Are you talking about the bootscreen BEFORE the bootanimation, by any chance?
If so, that's my cue
Grab this: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.sgs2bootlogo
and go wild on changing it back to w/e you want.
If you grab the file "param.lfs" from a stock ROM update .tar, you can also revert to the original Sammy screen.
If this WASN'T your issue - just silently ignore me
I have read many post on changing the boot audio along with the boot animation, but was unable to get it to work with my bionic so i did some foot work with my budy and we figured out how to change the boot audio on the droid Bionic.
1. Download and extract the bootanimation file.
2. Backup/Move your stock bootanimation file out of system/bin
3. Move the new bootanimation file to system/bin
4. Move selected audio (Must be mp3 format and named "android_audio") to system/media
Reboot phone and enjoy =)
Thank you!
Hmm have to try it..
I'm having trouble with using your file. When I try it out i get nothing but a black screen when i try to replace the system/bin bootanimation file with yours. Is there anything that i'm missing?
Thank You
I recently got MIUI for the Nook Tablet and I cannot find the file for the boot animation, I checked under system/media and could not find the boot animation zip file or a .png file. Is there another place where the file is located?
Try /data/local

at data/local/ theres just a empty download folder and tmp folder

Use root explorer from / =root. It has a great search feature among other things. I'm not running MIUI but you should be able to search for bootanimation.zip.
Good Luck!
Lars for tobdaryl
downloaded MIUI from xda and bootanimation.zip is located /system/media when installed
MIUI Themes

MIUI is a different than CM7 or CM9. If you wanna upload a boot animation, save it on your SD Card and upload it through your theme manager. The Theme Manager will add your boot animation to the section.
