No it is not flashable. You have to move it with a file explorer app. Place the file in /Data/Local, then reboot.

Your moving the whole .zip file to /data/local, correct? If you extract (like I did the first attempt) it won't work.

Yes... ermm I think lol. Will try again to make sure.
So cm's splash screen shouldn't override?
And thanks for the quick reply

Nope... the file must have been extracted automatically. Its the .exe that I moved.
Hmmm so what do I do?

The downloaded file should be bootanimation.zip, once that file is downloaded. Move it to /data/local. Do not extract it. Hope this helps.

Yea so I have two data folders. One on phone (which doesn't have a local folder) and one on my SD that also does not have a local folder.
Got the bootanimation.zip... just don't know precisely where to put it this seems extremely easy and I can't make it work lol

When you open what ever file explorer you use. If it doesn't already start at the root folder on your SD card. Go to it, it should look like this
Then click on Data, then Local folder. Place the bootanimation.zip there. Hope this helps.

very nice! Thanks! will make a few of my friends jealous hehe

You can flash it through clockworkmod as well. Looks pretty.

I used astro and when to root and i went to data and there is no local folder
Running CM7

How do I make a flashable zip?

Can someone show me how to make a flashable zip please? All I wanna do is take some apks I themed and flash them through twrp. I Googled how to do it and the guides give you a template where you just drop your apk in there and flash it but every time I try to flash it it fails.
Can someone maybe show me how to create it from scratch with the update scripts? People post flashable zips all the time on here so I'm sure someone knows how to do it.

If you have the apks all you gotta do is use an app like root explorer and.push the apks manually into the system changing the permissions accordingly. Would be much easier that way

I know how to do that and it works that way but I have a bunch of apks I themed and I wanna make a flashable zip so people can install them all at once.

I asked similar question in android themes and here is the reply, hope it helps you
Here you have a empty Update Script.

I think I know why I can't make a flashable zip right or why it fails. I think it's because of the permission being wrong. Does anyone know how to set the permissions of an apk file before it's on the phone? Do I just have to sign it with apk manager or something?

App2zip
Available at the store, and free

Attached is a empty flash zip that will work on our phone the proper folders are in place to add apks to the system apps.
When adding apk to a zip you must create a folder path like system/app then place the apk inside the app folder so you would have a folder in the zip named system then inside that a folder named app inside that the apk or apks if they are system apps. You do not need to set permissions. When zipping the file when done just highlight the folders inside the extracted zip not the whole zip. ie. META-INF and system folder then right click select send to then compressed zip name the zip what ever you want then flash it.

Tester for Flash GUI app

Now that we have root for the 2.20 firmware of the One X one of the downfalls is having to flash a boot.img everytime we flash a rom. I know we can flashboot the boot.img but most of us are not always near a computer.
I emailed the developer for the app Flash GUI and asked if our ONE X will be added. He replied almost immediately and will add the ONE X but he needs testers familiar with adb.
I am not very good with adb so I am asking if someone with better skills then I to contact him and help get this going please. His name is Joey and he will be following this thread.

we did some testing and i think we got all the angles working. we can flash boot.img alone, boot.img in a kernel zip and boot.img in a rom zip.
also everyone should thank joeykrim for making Flash Image GUI and dorkboy69 for making this thread and getting support started.

So we will be able to get a full rom.zip and flash it like prior to the new hboot?
I have been using the script with an terminal emulator but still had to have to boot.img separate.
This would be handy!

No this app will allow you to flash a kernel or boot.img from the phone before flashing a new rom. No need for a computer.

Does htc allow flashing system.img on BL unlocked devices from fastboot? If so, seems it would make sense to just do it all from there. GUI flasher could parse CWM standard zips and do it all from fastboot with no need to 2-step.

App has been updated in play store and I used it to flash rohan kernel #4 on cm 10. For those new to this don't forget to extract the boot.img and put on the root of the sdcard.

This app works awesome, just flashed viper 2.1 and everything is good. Although it didn't reboot into recovery like it said it would so I had to do it manually

Mine rebooted to recovery, did you select reboot to recovery or just reboot?
Sent from my One X using xda premium

with this app you don't have to extract boot.img from the zip

That disclaimer when you start it up is just warning us to make sure that we have unlocked our bootloader, right?

[Q] Unrooting n8013

Hi,
So I'm new interms of Andriod and rooting, but have had an account for sometime. I just recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (n8013). I rooted it with the second method seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152
On the website that the OP listed to go to, it has a unrooting file that is named n8000_stockrecovery. My problem is that he said use the PDA part of Odin with that to unroot it. However, since I have a n8013 do I use that file or a different one to unroot it?
Thanks,
renn

Yea, just save the file somewhere youll be able to find it easily. I just move it from the browser and drag and drop it to my desktop andfrom there move it to a folder i have on my desktop i named rootnote10.1 then just open odin and go to the pda spot and browse for the file in that folder and you should see the tar file. Make sure only auto reboot is checked in odin, make your tablet go into download mode and plug it into your pc and hit start after it recognizes it. It'll take a while to boot up initially so be patient. But if it takes more than 10 minutes id just boot into recovery mode and do a full wipe. I had to do that and it was fine after that.

Updates from SD card?
Phone is an Alcatel One Touch Pop Icon (A564C) though.

Like official updates, or if anyone ever figures it out you could get root by flashing a zip using the stock recovery. But that would have to be specifically made to work with the stock recovery.

Idk what he's linking. Pretty sure it's a supersu.zip or something...
Will what he's suggesting have a high chance of bricking my device?

It might but I don't understand why it's flagged or why he's making mirror links to what is the easiest to find rooting file on the Internet. Will it brick? Probably not, it most likely won't even flash successfully.

Renamed zip to update.zip but it wouldn't show up in stock recovery...is it supposed to be in a specific location? Tried with it in internal memory as well as onsd card...

While in recovery ended up on a screen with android laying down on back with a triangle with exclamation point...what exactly does that mean?
