I've tried to change the boot animation on my android phone running sc7731g chipset, android 5.1 and it is rooted and usb debugging is not enabled before this accident.I can't open or access the android recovery menu,it's just spreadrum factory test and it's in chinese language
I copy and pasted the boot animation file using ES file explorer to system>media folder and there's already an bootanimation.zip there and i renamed it to bootanimation.zip.bak, then i pasted the bootanimation.zip file that i copied there and changed its permissions to:
read write execute
owner check check check
group check
other check
then i rebooted it.., after that i doesn't boot completely anymore it just freezes during boot
Is there any way i can fix this without flashing anything?
even adb and fastboot doesn't work it just says device unauthorized
and please confirm dialog box on your device
i really need help.,I've been researching for a week now...

ok so today i tried to use a new boot animation zip and at first i tried to do it through an explorer but that didnt work as astro didnt let me paste the zip file so instead i went the adb route thought i didnt know how to use it.
i installed the files from here: http://sites.google.com/site/androidsamurai/Home/adb-for-dummies-1 and opened cmd, i used cd to get to the directory of my adb then i used adb devices to see if my phone was recognized which it was. then i used adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local and it said it copied since it gave me the speed stats, the file size and the time it took. i used astro to look inside the folder but it was empty. i then proceeded to do a few random things like remount and such and repush and the zip would just not appear in the /data/local folder. i then tried adb shell bootanimation just for kicks and it seemed to work, though i didnt know how to stop the animation besides closing my cmd. after that i tried to reboot and it got stuck at the bootanimation so then i used the 1.8.1 update and reinstalled it and i got past boot loop and for some reason the boot animation is the one i tried to install (the stock dell one that is in the themes forum) but the folder still doesnt exist in /data/local.
like i said im an adb noob, so please guide me through the entire proper way to push a bootanimation to my phone and to figure out where i pushed the previous to since it seems to be somewhere but i tried using astro search but cant find it. any help would be appreciated, thanks!
I'm not super talented at ADB either, but i believe that you should copy the boot animation zip into the same folder as ADB on your computer and then run this:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Also, there is a file manager called Root Explorer, you should use that instead of Astro because astro doesn't allow you to go into some of the system level directories (exactly what your dealing with in this case) but Root Explorer does. That's probably why you can't find what you flashed before.
Hope this helps

yeah apparently it seems that astro cant view some root files/folders
copy and paste with root explorer is easiest - like you though I am teaching myself how to use adb - get adb wireless btw - its cool if you dont have your cable to hand
Hi Guyz....Recently I flashed A Kernal By Mb-14 on my Galaxy Ace Plus.....It Changed my Boot Logo.....i Want my Original Bootlogo back.....plzzz Help Me Soon...
I believe a lot of Samsung devices store the bootlogo in paramfs, but I don't own your device so I can't say for sure which partition its in. You'd be best to ask in your device forum

Hi, you can change it back to the original boot animation by following the instructions given. But 1st, you have to make sure your phone is rooted and you should download an application called Root Explorer from the play store and download the Boot Animation by clicking here.
1.Connect your phone to your computer via USB.
2.Copy the "Sammsung Generic Boot Animation.zip" file that you want to install, to your SD card.
3.Please be sure it's rename to "bootanimation.zip"
4.Unmount USB storage and launch the root explorer on your phone.
5.Browse to /system/media using a file manager using Root Explorer
6.Browse to the location on the SD card where you copied the new "bootanimation.zip" and copy paste it to /system/media.
7.You should now have the new boot animation successfully installed on your device. Simply restart it and you should see it running upon boot!
Tell me if it worked And have a nice day!!
it didn't worked brother.....n i dont mean boot animation i mean boot splash image before the boot animation....
Hi,
I new on XDA, I heard that this is the biggest android developers community.
first of all, sorry if my english is bad.
I have a problem with my device.
I was stupid and i've set my /system folder permissions (with ES File Explorer) to un-read and un-write able.
I dont know how to explain it, but the result of my doing is that the device had reboot himself a second after, and wont boot up anymore...
The device cant read the system folder because i've changed the permissions!
how can I restore the permissions through ADB on my PC?
or through recovery mode with the "apply update from ADB", by open it and somehow send an permission-command through ADB...
NOTE: I have a chinese phone "AKAI DRAGON" AND I DONT HAVE THE UPDATE.ZIP! I cant reinstall the android.
any help?
Hi.I was trying to change bootanimation on my android without root.So I had searched Google and tried one method which was "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local" .By running that command through adb I got Permission denied Error.I tried another one.I first flashed twrp and through that I changed permission to read write execute.When I was in twrp mode I connected to my computer and changed bootanimation by removing the old bootanimation and add new bootanimation by running above adb command.When I restarted new bootanimation was not loaded even though I changed permission to rw-r-r but it was loading stock bootanimation.I had a doubt whether new bootanimation is applied or not.So when my phone was in normal mode I connected to my computer and through adb I run this command "adb pull bootanimation.zip C:".This command created a backup of my bootanimation to my computer.When I viewed the backed up bootanimation file it was new bootanimation file.But why is not getting applied or loaded on booting of phone?

bootanimation.zip is available in /data/media. Replace the bootanimation.zip over there with yours.
HIT THANKS IF FOUND USEFUL
I made a custom boot animation for my oppo a5s
I mounted /system and copied my custom boot animation using terminal ( note that I gave it su permissions to do this)
But
This way didn't work
It said : etc/fstab no such a file or a directory
I tried to copy it manually, it worked and after my dad took my phone and return it again after work , I found that the boot animation got to its stock state again ( the original one)
So I decided to do this again , but this time , there is a BIG ULTRA FRICKING PROBLEM
while copying, it tooooook a looong time and this is unusual
I stopped it and found that the original boot animation is 0kb ?!
I tried to remount the /system directory and it said it is read only
AND NOW THE BOOT ANIMATION FILE IS CORRUPTED
WHAT SHOULD I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
