I've overwritten the bootanimation.zip from /data/local/ and need someone to upload theirs. Right now all I get is a blank screen when I boot it up (because I renamed the .qmg files as well, but they're still there so I can restore them, I just want to restore the bootanimation.zip first). I'm not sure why the custom one I installed results in a black screen.

When installing a custom boot animation can i just use Root Explorer to move the .zip to /System/Media folder ... And will that work? do i need to remove anything?
Root Explorer FTW! That's what I always use to move my animations. I found it a good practice to delete or move the previous bootanimation.zip because I had a suspicion that overwriting it with the new one didn't always work properly. I didn't do a lot of research on this however, but, I figure, better safe than sorry. Why not eliminate potential problems before they arise? Just make sure the original bootanimation.zip isn't in the /data/local file as that is another place the animation can be stored and work from. I actually think it looks in that folder first before browsing the /system/media folder. Hope this helps.
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!

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

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!
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..
Ok, thanks for the insight ))
