I've read around on trying to find the answer to this question but cant seem to find it....
I would like to know how you change the kernel boot up image you get when you turn on your phone,
is this even possible? and if it is what format would i have to make the image
-Thanks
Update:
Seriously does nobody know how to change the Kernel boot image???
(the image you get when you startup your phone)
I realy like to know to, because since i start to use hell's kernel never see again the rafael baugis kernel... now i have RB kernel but the boot image never apear again...

You need to edit the kernel source and recompile using the image, aka not worth it
Also the image in present in .lfs partition inside /mnt folder
And please instead of creating new threads for questions, Post them here

That is incorrect.
As long as the phone is rooted and you have a file explorer (ES File Exp) installed, you need to copy the dowloaded .zip file to the following location:
/system/media/
and rename to bootanimation.zip. Reboot and shazaam

You can't understand a bit of what he said

Not the bootanimation

Whe I change the boot animation in the rom's .zip do I then reflash the rom?
And if so do I do a wipe or just reflash without any wipe.
Thanks
you can just make a zip with the bootanimation and then flash that only.. no need to reflash the rom
Any time I have tried to just flash the zip with the boot animation it didn't take and the animation for the rom I am running (CleanRom) is still present.

Did you make sure that the bootanimation.zip in located in the in the same directory in the flashable zip as it is in the rom. For example, alot of roms the boot animation is located in system/media, therefore it would need to be in the same directory in the flashable zip. you can also just use a file manager like root explorer or es file explorer and just swap out the animations.
It seems like swapping them out is a tad easier

This is development. Not general section.
Anyway, download your stock Rom from the link in my signature. Then look in the development section for the tool to decrypt your own Rom then use ext2explore to extract system.img
Or give us more detail off model etc
Further more back up files before modding them

it takes too much time ..
Use this: http://caftp.3owl.com/File_Upload_Admin/Files/build.prop
It will be in there temporarily so tell me when you have got the file or I will delete it at some point.
You may want to modify it since my device was in the UK and it is using release5a.
Next time try creating a backup, it uses your time for a reason.
If you want to backup in /system/ then you can copy the file in the directory renamed so you can just remove a character or something from the backup file to get it in use also you do need to delete the failed one or if you don't have one then find a way to get in and do it but you can't use ADB in recovery unless you have the release1a recovery.
If I did backup, my device is soft bricked, rooted and have such recovery then what I would do is:
cd /system/
su
rm build.prop
mv build.prop.bak build.prop
EDIT: You have till the 25th before the file gets removed from my website.

Hello, I have some questions and even though I looked I could not find a solution.
1) I have unlocked the boot loader and I do root, I custom hboot 1.25.0002 rom and I can put the 1.24.0000?
2) I tried to install a rom and I get error message in recovery that I can not put .. it is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113587
what's wrong and what I can do?
You need to change mountpoints in updater-script, there is a guide somewhere in Android Development, just search for it there.

I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213663 but there was no change at least not to accept the rom I have problemI.
Replace updater-script in Half-Sense.zip using 7-zip on Windows (important!) with the one I attached to this post, should work then. Remove the extension first from the file prior to packing it into the zip.

Hi.. Can somebody tell me if there is a way to convert flashable zip files to Odin tar.md5 files !!!!
I hav searched and read some related threads but none of them gave a conclusive answer for the question. Some explained how to convert .img files to tar files & some explained creating tar files by using 7zip (actually 7zip only create a file with .tar extension) but my question is how to convert zip files which don't have image files like for example if i wanted to flash some apps ported from other devices (camera, gallery, keyboard etc...) and i don't want to flash them through Recovery (I don't hav one) then HOW???
Technically speaking, you'd need to create an image of the partition containing content from your .zip folder (with proper permissions and stuff created by updater-script) and then you should pack it as system.img into .tar.md5 file.
The questions is WHY you want to do this, it's NOT common and there's absolutely no point in doing that.
Question is why no recovery

Well, consider installing a corresponding CWM :good:

I don't want to install a Recovery as it increases Binary count every time v boot the device. I personally don't like to increase my count. Every time i enter into Recovery to flash a zip file it will trigger the count. I know Triangle away can make the count zero but then i have to use it every time after using Recovery & I don't want to go through all that hassle.
Why i don't like an increase in count.... It's more like OCD
So, is there any easy n simple method to convert files !!! Am not much of a Android student. It's like am at Kindergarten level at Android University

There's no easy way of doing what you want. There IS a way, but definitely not easy one.

"Well this is one of the most rarest error that a person can get...but with my experience I came to know that this occurs because you don't have correct permissions set. Use correct perms in updater-script and done "
Grab another rom that is the same base you are using and look at the META-INF/com/google/android folder which contains the updater script and binary to use as your reference points. Compare and contrast yours with that one.

Should be able to. Wouldn't hurt to look at the differences though so then you can understand what things affect the install to help build knowledge.

Sorry, that was my main idea. Are you getting the same error code? Did you unzip and re-zip the rom? If so, you should use an archive manager like 7zip to move the update script into the zip without needing to unzip the whole thing, otherwise you'll break the signature on the rom and have to re-sign it.

Not all phones have adb access while in a bootloop. But to do so you would need adb set up on your computer, change directories to the adb folder (or if it's enabled globally, then where ever), and type:
adb logcat
You'll want to save it somewhere like:
http://pastebin.com/
and upload the link.
I am not skilled at reading logcats, so not sure if I can be of any more help after that.
If you don't have adb set up already, then just use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
