Is there something I need to do once rooted to be able to copy this over?
How are you doing it? If you're using say Root explorer you need to Mount Read/Write.
You can ADB push the file or you can simply put the bootanimation.zip in data/local
I just realized the file program I used wasnt asking for root access...I downloaded root explorer and it did ask for permission.
So I was able to get it done.

I ran the bat file which I downloaded from here. When it runs it says can not find file nv_data.bin. Anyone have an idea what's going on here?
It is in the /efs folder. I am not familiar with the captivate, but do you have rw permission for that folder? Do you need root permission also? Do you have adb setup correctly? Have you tried to manually back it up with root explorer or any file explorer, then do whatever from the computer?

Attached Google Talk files that worked for me (from TouchWiz 1.0.2 ROM). Put the lib file into /system/lib and the apk into /system/app. Change perms to 744.

I am trying to follow these instructions however I can not find the /system/lib and /system/app folders. The Google Talk stock app vanished when I flashed TCP's rom on the phone, so I am trying to reinstall it this way, since it is not on the market.
Where are these files usually located? Do I need to format my files differently or something?
/system/app
/system/lib
ANYTHING that is not /mnt/sdcard (/sdcard) or /ext-sd requires ROOT access and an app that will look at ROOT
ES File explorer or root explorer
you WILL NOT see these folders by just plugging into your computer, nor will you see it with basic file managers

Thanks for the help,
Ok i downloaded ASTRO file manager, but when i try to paste into the app folder it gives me an error message that I have a read only file system...
Make sure you have r/o where it says r/o or r/w. this way you can paste it.

I know I'm VERY! late with this answer, but I have to correct you. With zArchiver (file-explorer and zip/7-zip app) you can access androids system folders. On a S III mini I can copy the ringtones/notification-sounds or the start sound( on the micro-SD-card for example). It is possible to copy other files too, but that didn't make any sense for me. btw: phone is not rooted.
P.S. Also worked on a non-rooted Huawei Y 625 @ Android 4.4.2 . Of course I can not copy files INTO the system folder(s) but read-acces is definitely possible without root permissions.

Access to /data is forbidden in Android unless you have root access.
/system is read only, and limited.
My quote from above did say you wouldn't see any of these from a computer. And the OP was trying to place files in /system, which is read only.
Is there some reason you felt the need to bring up a 3 year old thread to say I'm wrong, when in this thread, regarding the original post, I am 100% correct?
I Want To Add New Boot Animation. I Download One With Zip File I Want To Paste It In System/media Folder. With Root Explorer I Am Not Able To Delete Old File Or Paste New File Or Change Permission. Please Help.
There should be a setting to mount R/W in Root Explorer if I remember correctly...then you should be able to change permissions.
I Checked Everything. Nothing Happens.
Solved : I Download An App Called Mount /System From Playstore And It Worked. Thanks A Lot

I had the same issue, i used this >> https://app.box.com/s/z0a12rt18gm3dtfqqndl
I got it from stock odexed 4.4.2 rom here on xda and please check the sha1sum of the file, it should be 1A008709F0945E8EACA2166D143622EB8D94C3D0
Otherwise the updater script wont install the update, also use es file explorer or any root explorer to replace the file and set permissions to chmod 755 and shell access, more info here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48333174#post48333174

Just use es file Explorer, cut the file in ur system/bin/debuggerd and take its backup on sdcard, then paste the given file, change the permissions to the one's like given in the second post here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48353992#post48353992
You should be having root access in es file Explorer with partition mounted as r/w

this was the fault i had to delet the efs in supersu and to reactivate the root for efs.
after this i get showed up the second image, before only the switch was moved from right to left and back
I have rooted my phone and granted root access to root explorer, but i still can't paste anything into system/media folder and I can't rename the bootanimation.zip file. It says rename failed and then "root explorer was granted superuser rights" pops up on my screen. Am I doing something wrong?
You must to make changes inside twrp
Our phones are a bit different there.
system, or rather system_root, is read only. Think of it like a CD-ROM. You can only read from it, not write to it.
You have to use a kitchen of some sort, extract system.img from the ROM you are running, and edit the ROM from there. Once you have, you have to create the system.img from your files again. Then flash that system.img on your phone.
And then you are good to go!
It's that simple!
