[HOW TO] Restore S4 Samsung BootAnimation (Root Required) - Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps

How to Restore Original Samsung bootanimation for phones that have custom startup animations by Carriers:
The procedure is simple but demands Root and a file manager also whit Root permission (personally I use Root Explorer).
1 - Download and unzip the file
S4_Original_BootAnimation_ChristhianC here: Download
2 - With Root Explorer navigate to the folder:
system/media
copy and paste replacing the original files with 2 available
bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg
(or rename your original files before replacing)
3 - Now go to the folder:
system/media/video/shutdown
and replace the file shutdown.qmg
4 - You can set permissions as rw-r--r--
to new files
5- If you want to disable bootup sound go to:
system/media/audio/ui
and search for PowerOn.ogg
Just rename it to
PowerOn.ogg.backup (or any other extension).
Well done!
Ready, restart the device and now you have the animation, startup and shutdown, without Logos from carriers.
As yet we not have the CWM recovery is still not useful to build a zip file for that. At the appropriate time I will do it!
This procedure has been tested OK!
Regards

THANK YOU! got rid of the Telstra branding on boot!
also don't forget to set permissions!!!

Cheers, all working as it should.
Incidentally, i renamed my old boot animations first to keep them in case I need them again and they don't seem to interfere at all.

Does this work for the US S4s? Specifically sprint?

[HOW TO] Restore S4 Samsung BootAnimation
Im trying to change the permissions on the file in order to copy the bootsamsung.qmg file and my phone says system file protected and wont let me paste the files needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did You try mount R/W? Your Root is OK?

make sure you rename or delete the existing files and tap the very top button that says r/w on top of root explorer, now out of the 9 boxes uncheck the middle boxes of both files

thanks
thanks

Thanks
Thank you so much- after a day of trying to figure out how to change this start up your instructions and information was perfect and easy to the T.

can someone be kind enough to make a flashable zip to go back to stock? meaning the mobile version?

Hii Thanks for the tut

[Boot Animation] Nexus Prime Official adjusted for the Note

Didn't notice anyone's uploaded this for the Note so here it is. I just adjusted the leak boot animation from this thread to fit the fullscreen of the Note (instead of 720x1280 of the Prime). Check the thread to see a low-quality preview of how the boot animation looks like
Credits go to febycv
YOUR NOTE MUST HAVE ROOT (and CWM) TO USE THIS Get both from the CF ROOT thread or any kernel with CWM.
Instructions (modified from febycv's thread):
1. Download the required file to your sdcard
2. Use root explorer or equivalent to go to /data/local and place the bootanimation.zip there (if it doesn't work, try /system/media/).
4. Reboot
Download Here
EDIT: To get rid of / replace the Power On sound, delete/rename/replace /system/etc/1_Power_On.ogg (or something similar). The Power Off sound file is also in the same folder...
Thanks.
It works like a charm.
i dont kbow why. But i placed the file in data/local . But it didnt change anything. Hmm

Thanking you very much.

Hmm, did you have a CWM kernel installed? I think it only works nicely if you do.
where I could find the Poweron sound?

Lost the boot animation after flashing KKA firmware. Tried /data/local and system/media to no avail. Any other ideas?
Worked as described! Thanks!

You need to have a kernel with CWM to use this without flashing. You would have lost that when you flashed the (stock) KKA firmware. Get the latest CFRoot KKA kernel from Chainfire's thread
Great !!!
Just changed my bootanimation - put it into: data/local -> workes fine !
THX very much !
Hi All
I downloaded the boot animation, its folder on my mac after the download and when i transfer it on my note, it says boot animation.zip
I took this and pasted it in the local folder, nothing happened... then i pasted it in media and still nothing happens !!!
I sure that the boot animation for my note is in the media folder since i can see many things in that folder and there is nothing in the local folder...
I am on the KKA firmware with the CF-rooted kernel which i downloaded from the chain fire's thread and its perfectly installed
But till now I have not been able to make this work...
Is there step i am missing??? do i need to tale some files out of the boot animation.zip and place it in the folders or just download the .zip from this thread and then move it to the folder on my note?? (this what i have been doing till now)

You're very welcome bro, thanks a lot to your awesome rom.
Do you extract the zip and then put in system media or the whole zip? All i get is a black screen and then the lock screen.

You dont have to create bootanimation folder. Just put the bootanimation.zip into /system/media/

scholastica sorry for my translation, but I've tried this. I do not work so I leave this issue here. then, I have put a bootanimation already put me at the time of placing a CWN recovery. I can remove if I go to this address: system / bin / bootanimation. okay? then .. that I did it? get this file that has no file type online. for example, take it from a rom cwm and replace to give the necessary permissions as the other files in the bin folder. not achieved and I change the bootanimation. moreover, scholastova the bootanimation.zip folder. I've tried other directions. I do not remember. I have watched many tutorials and I get nothing.
I can not do that ...

Ok, let's try again. First, go to system / bin / and open file: bootanimation with text editor. Find text: bootanimation (see attachment). As you can see, the name of bootanimation file is not bootanimation.zip but bootanimation_mtk.zip. Now do the same thing, may be you have to change the name of bootanimation.zip file to something else. CLUE: Follow the address and the name as written in system / bin / bootanimation file.
I hope it works!

Once you have replaced the bootanimation you need to go to the folder oem/media/ and erase the file bootanimation.zip.

[Service][Free]Bootanimation.zip to .qmg convert

Hello guys,
You know this too? You want a new bootanimation for your Samsung Device, but then you realize you cant use Bootanimation.zip files?
Well thats really sad and i had this Problem a long time. BUT now i know how to make .qmg files and i dont want to use it only for myself so i open
this Service for all now. You can now transform bootanimation.zip files to .qmg files. Easy, Free and Fast.
How to start?
Well i will transform it for you, please never forget this that i make this with my own hands and a Programm ^^ so it cant be instant ready.
So you need: A way to upload the File , a bootanimation.zip file with all the 3 Parts in it (part0, part1, part2) and some patience ^^.
First of all send me the File for the Bootanimation.zip file. I will open them and transform them into .qmg files. But please remember:
part0 will be bootsamsung.qmg
part1 will be bootsamsungloop.qmg
part2 will be shutdown.qmg
So please keep this in mind.
What will happen now?
Your brandnew Bootanimation will be reworked by me and then send to you.
I will answer your Post with the Link to download the qmg files they will be put together in a .rar file btw.
It only takes 1 or 2 Days most of the time. If i need more time i will message you (For example if i have to learn for a Test)
How to use this Files now?
Well there are 2 Ways the
Easy Noob way: Download this App https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...io.sboot&hl=de give the app Root permission (YES YOU NEED ROOT) and then go to where the files are. and select them in the right order ^^ easy right?.
and the
Pro Funny way: get ES File Explorer copy all the 3 .qmg files and put them to /system/media. Then select every single .qmg animation and go to Properties. Change the permissions to rw- r- r- and ready.
Now restart your Phone and you are fine with your new bootanimation ^^
BUT I WANT SOUND, TOO. HOW CAN I GET THIS?
Well you dont even have to send me the File. You need Es File Explorer for it btw
Just cut a small part from your favourite song or Sound Effect and rename it PowerOn.ogg . Now move it to /system/media/audio/ui and keep pressing on it until the little bar on the bottom appear. Go to More>Properties and change Permissions to rw- r- r- ( At read check all Ticks. And at write check the first tick)
Thats all now restart Phone and enjoy sound!
I Hope you like my service and will use it ^^
