Using root explorer I cannot find bootanimation zip, as I want to change it.
I've looked in the usual place:
/system/media
no file exsist, I do have a bootsamsung.qmg file and bootsamsungloop.qmg file,.but no bootanimation.zip.
also I used the search function in root explorer and found:
/system/bin/bootanimation (but its a file type) not a .zip type.
in /sbin I found bootanimation.sch and bootanimation (both look like copies of what I found in /system/bin/
I played about and renamed the files in /system/media by adding .bak to the files this gave me a black screen during boot and the hutchison '3' was gone, I could still hear the boot.
Can anyone advise me? All I want to be able to do is disable (properly) the boot or change it.
I've read a lot about doing such (so I'm not asking ad-hoc) but all use bootanimation.zip, by changing the original. My dilemma is I seem to either have deleted it in the past (even though I still have the '3' logo [have never been without it]) or it's something to do with the bootsamsung.qmg file.
I figure if I can get the original bootanimation.zip place it where I need to and start to change things from there?
Please advise )

you can find it in data/local/
if you want new boot animation install rom toolbox pro and u will find a lot of cool boot animations
I do not have a /data/local directory
I flashed a new kernel from Philz and used Mobile Odin, I completed a nandroid backup before messing with the phone.
I have Rom toolbox pro installed, though messed about with that app before a nandroid backup. Maybe this is how I lost bootanimation.zip, however the /data/local directory should still be there, right?
Any suggestions on fixing it or best to just continue as I am?
I found the bootanimation.zip online that I wanted to instal and placed it in the /system/media directory, rebooted and I have what I wanted, though is it best to start again and do all formally (the right way) or just stick to what I have given I have been lucky that eventually I changed the bootanimation, though can't find the original bootanimation.zip nor do I have /data/local directory.
My thoughts are if I mess about more flashing etc and there's a need for the directory /data/local or even the original bootanimation.zip
Any advice or suggetions?

wiping data/cache/dalvik will not erase ur internal sdcard ma8
So doing a full wipe, and installing a proper rom, my internal SD will be safe
By full wipe I assume wiping data/cache/devlik..

I've been googling the hell out of this and can't find a solution. I have the bootanimation.zip that I want, but I can't find a way to move it into system/media. I tried root explorer and that didn't work.
are you using a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip?
try rom manager,download rom and sonfskywalker3

I'm not sure. I'm kind of a noob at all of this. I flashed Axura 2.0.6 to my Vibrant today. The systems/media folder does have a bootanimation.zip in it though.
You can change them with axura just get root explorer and place your bootanimation.zip in system/media
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
rename your original bootabimation to like something else and then use root explorer to move the bootanimation to the system/media/
Besure its a zip and spelled correctly or it wont work.
Axura supports bootanimation.
After u move REBOOT so your system knows it's changed then watch if it worked.
Just tried it and got this:
Paste Failure
There was not enough free disk space to complete the paste operation.
Edit: Nevermind, got it to work using Super Manager instead of Root Explorer.
This post was made by prathyush.creed on the samsung fit page of xda
It is working well on stock roms..I tried it on ddkk1 and it worked well..But when i tried on my Blazing Hatred Rom it dint work..SO Use on STOCK ROMS:
I dunno if many of u already know this,but Im justing posting here:
Attach two files Namely :
1.Samsungani
2.Bootanimation
Download
http://www.mediafire.com/?aa52s74oaju1n9s
Copy both the files to /system/bin and Set the Appropriate Permissions .
Then Copy Your Bootanimation.zip to /system/media.
To get appropriate permission do this:
Use rootexplorer,before copying these to files navigate to /syste/bin and note down the Permissions Of both files .then copy the two files and give them the appropriate permission.
I tried this bootanime:

well - to me the question is, how to disable boot animation.
answer :
in build.prop debug.sf.nobootanimation = 1 or sth.
wow thanks. i was so tired of seeing the boring Samsung boot up screen.
If u want simple way use uot kitchen and pick ur boot animation and resolution too
Ignore another tab
Go to summary visit the pick up page and most important remmember ur pick up number
If succed u will have to download the package
And then estract it pick the boot animation on system/media and renam the zip file as bootanimation.zip
Send to ur sd card
And then open root explorer search the bootanimation.zip on your sdcard and move it to system/media just overwrite the old one,and dont firget to mount and remount ur system hehe
Reboot ur phone and enjoy ur new boot animation screen
But use at ur own risk ok

then get the sanim.zip on system/media on uot------.zip
rename it to bootanimation.zip..put the file on root of sd card.
next go to root explorer press the upper right to become read/write..
go to sd card and copy bootanimation.zip
copy it on data/local/"here"..
(im not responsible if u brick ur phone so do a nandroid backup first and it works smoothly with me)
Just copy it to system/media

i did that on my phone and it works.. i discovered it on root tool...when u download bootanimation in root tool and apply it the directory is in data/local ..then i tried to put the bootanimation from uot kitchen there and it works...
and i have the same problem with Sharmaskss when i tried to put bootanimation in system/media and fix it when i tried my method
Here's how I did it:
1. I pushed a bootanimation.zip into /system/media, and changed permissions to this file into rw-.r--.r--. Rebooted the phone and it didn't work.
2. I then pushed the bootanimation and samsungani binaries provided by the OP to the /system/bin folder and changed their permissions to rwx.r-x.r-x. Rebooted the phone and it worked! However, there is no sound. Oh, well, at least it worked.

Are you rooted? There are a couple of ways. If you have RootExplorer (or any other file explorer app) go into /system/media and replace the bootanimation.zip. The new file MUST have the same exact name as the one you are replacing. Best bet is to rename the old one (i.e. bootanimation.zip.old) and place the new one. Change the permissions to match the other files in there (rw_r__r__). Reboot and enjoy.
Second method would require you to have the root and CWM installed. You can find and download flashable bootanimations and use CWM recovery to flash.
I prefer the first method though..
Mine doesn't seem to have a bootanimation.zip. There's a bootsamsung.qmg and a bootsamsungloop.qmg but those are the only things that seem to be related to boot animation.
Try replacing sanim.zip using the same instructions as above.

I think stock Samsung Froyo and GB roms have these files.
I have two Players and one of them is still on stock Samsung GB (rooted). And as you mentioned, files are not in zip format. So... I am not sure what to tell you here. I had my other one with a custom GB Rom which had the .zip format boot animation and it was piece of cake to replace. So... you can try a custom rom or just leave the booranimation as it is, I guess...
Maybe someone else has a better suggestion for you.
Flash with CWM Recovery
I'm not too sure whether you can change the boot animation on a stock rom, but on the custom rom i'm using, there isn't a bootanimation.zip file. I simply flashed the bootanimation.zip file through CWM recovery.
Hope this helps!

Boot animations must be placed in /system/media and the file must be named bootanimation.zip
Just copy/paste the bootanimation.zip to /system/media using ES File Explorer (make sure Root Explorer is enabled).

I rename the original to OGbootanimation.zip then I copy the new on into the folder. That way I can delete the experimental file and name the original back if the experimental file won't work. It saves a few steps.
Make sure you're moving the zip file and don't extract it or use CWM on it.
Hm, is it boot animation.zip or sanim.zip?
Have you tried searching the Seraphim thread?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using xda premium
Like others have said, you just need to rename the zip to bootanimation.zip and place it in your system/media folder using ES File Explorer (what I use) or Root Explorer. Then reboot and wallah.
It's never not worked for me. I'm currently running Unofficial CM9, and I replaced the Cyanogen boot with the Galaxy Nexus ICS boot animation, to keep Android tasting Vanilla...
Make sure the permissions are rw-r--r--

Make sure your file system is mounted as writable. I used ES File Explorer and did all the steps, and it didn't work. So I checked the ES settings and it wasn't "Mounted as writable". Once I fixed that, and did the exact same steps, it worked. The animation looks great.

What rom are you on? Custom boot animation may not be supported.
Is your current boot animation the android logo? There was no other bootanimation.zip in the folder for me, until I placed the renamed JB one.
here's my complete list of steps, that produced the desired results for me on Black*STAR IV ics rom:
*dl file to PC, renamed to bootanimation.zip placed in dropbox
*extracted to external sd card from dropbox app on phone
*moved to /system/media/ folder with ES file explorer (with mounted as writable, and all root options enabled)
*set permissions using Rom Toolbox's root browser
*rebooted phone and enjoyed animation
Mine does samsung logo samsung logo, android logo, then booted up.
Permissions set in ROM toolbox. Bootanimation.zip.
Must be my ROM's animation, (the android letters) needs removed?
Permisions is RW-R--R--
