Are you doing this on Froyo or GB? This only works on Froyo. Maybe try re-downloading the recovery & zip file to insure you didn't get bad downloads.

I'm on froyo and I downloaded from my phones browser if that makes a difference, and thanks for the help boss

It shouldn't make a difference how you downloaded the zip as long as you followed the instructions on the thread. Make sure you don't try to extract the zip file. try re-downloading them & try again.

are you changing the permissions of the directory from read only (R/O) to read/write (R/W) in root explorer before you try pasting the files?

Yup I used root explorer to push the files and it prompted me to switch to r/w when I tried to push the recovery. I'll try the process from the beginning and report back

[Q] How could I get system app from firmware?

Is there any way for me to extract system apps from firmware, like file manager, and install it or use it as usual apk?

Try titanium back up. Back up your fw, install any desired system app on another compatible fw using restore...
Did it a couple of times for music app & calculator..

Just extract the ROM's tar file using 7-zip etc. then use MagicISO to extract the System.rfs file. You'll find all the system apps in app folder.

I tried that, but when I installing application on device I see: "App is not installed"

You'll have to make it a system app. Do it via Titanium Backup or using any File Explorer with root functionality (Set permission as rw-r--r--).

Set permissions and lib files may be necessary. Place lib files in /system/lib or something like that

Still can't see it...

Jelly Bean Boot animation & wallpapers..

For Boot animation copy sanim.zip with Root explorer place it in /system/media and give permisions as RW-R--R-- restart the mobile for the Boot animation :laugh:.
if you don't have Root explore then just copy cwm_boot.zip to SD card and flash it via CWM....
For wallpapers just extract and copy them to your phone....
This is only for Custom ROM's and will not work with Stock ROM's.

Thanks!

can you post some pics of the boot anim ???

It's quite boring actually.. It's like win7 but replace the windows logo with a glowing x..

Backup sanim.zip file in /system/media before flashing if you want to revert back just replace the new one with old one..

No you can not flash all, best way is to replace the file in the /system/media

[Q] Rooted but deleted su file by mistake

I am using SE live with walkman on stock 4.0.4 I rooted it with eroot and by mistake I deleted the su file from sbin now it shows the phone is not rooted I tried flashing it with stock Rom but it shows error msg and couldn't root again also .please help me,thank you.

Nothing to worry pal.. Just get a 'update.zip' cwm flashable root file. You can search and download this file which can be used to root your device manually. Open the .zip file using an archiving app and extract superuser.apk from /system/app/ and install it. It should solve your SU problem then later convert it to a system app using link2sd or root installer. Let me know if it helped.

I did everything u said but as I don't have cwm installed I I couldn't flash the .zip file and as the SU file is deleted my phone is in non rooted status so I can't use apps requiring root access like link2sd as u mentioned above so it didn't work but thank u for responding do post with better solution

Dude... M not asking you to flash anything. Just download the .zip file, open it and extract SU from system/app/ folder in it then just install it like you would normally install other apps.

No big deal pal.. You got the .zip file right..? open the .zip file, extract 'SU' file from /system/xbin/ Cut the SU file from the directory you extracted and paste it where you deleted it. This should work. Let me know if it did.

Dude..SU binary file provides superuser access but deleted so no superuser access without superuser access it cannot be pasted in system folder...

Well..using es browser make me forget that.. Well.. then you gotta flash the update.zip try with both stock recovery and cwm(try fix permissions if there is an error) or you will need to flash stock firmwate via odin.

You need to change the sys partition from R/O to R/W so you can edit file permissions
