[Q] Stuck with previous ROM's boot animation - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

I installed the XenonHD ROM but when I flashed a different ROM, I found that I still had the XenonHD boot animation. Is there anyway I can fix this?

It's not a unique boot animation. It may be used in the ROM you just flashed. If all is well in the ROM that's probably what it is. If it gets stuck there & won't proceed, you most likely just need to flash the boot.img thru ADB.

Thanks for the Reply.
I've been using SilverL's AOKP ROM that has the AOKP boot animation. I only switched to the XenonHD to test it out then switched back. But now on startup, it only displays the Xenon's boot animation.
The phone still starts up normally, it's just the boot animation doesn't change no matter what ROM I flash.

Perhaps the ROM your flashing lacks a boot animation. Try another version of AOKP

If you did a full wipe there is no way the bootanimation from your previous ROM stuck around as its in the system partition, even if you didn't fully wipe flashing another ROM on top would overwrite your system partition and thus overwrite old bootanimation.
Both ROMs must be using the same one which as others previously said, happens all the time

Of course, you could just change the animation for one of your own selection. Overhauling made a few available and explained how to do it so simply even I did it. Look in themes and apps under boot animation.

what did you flash???
thats not a normal booting screen. have you tried to redownload and flash what you were flashing before? did you make a nandroid backup in recovery before you flashed? give us a bit more info please.
Did you make a backup of stock rom??
If yes
Reboot your phone and go to clockworkmod recovery and restore your previous rom
If dont have it ... you need to download the stock rom from anywhere else and copy into your phone
For copying the downloaded rom to your phone ,you can use also the clockworkmod recovery for mounting the sd.!!!

Boot animation

Hello... I'm trying to change the boot animation on my SGS2 (ski-rocket)' with the app called "boot animation ",? But it doesn't change it? And yes I'm rooted. Am I missing something? ...anyone??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Boot animation on our device has been tweaked by Samsung. They're not using the same standard method most Android phones use. It's being worked on by a few of the devs right now and hopefully we've have something soon.

If you are rooted navigate to root/system/media/
in that folder should be bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg
these are the bootanimations and some international ones have been posted for the t989 as far as I know. For bootanimation.zip to work it would have to be enabled on the kernel level. Good luck and enjoy your devices !
***The AT&T logo is most likely a logo.rle type of image that is embedded in the kernel itself, that is the case on the t989 and is more than likely mirrored on the i727
Hmmm.. rle files. There are actually two of those in the root directory.
initlogo.rle and lpminitlogo.rle
I googled a little on how to convert these around but can't do much from work (several paid apps, didn't verify if they work). Who can convert these and how can we convert other boot animations to this format?

I would love for someone to figure this out. I would like the Galaxy Nexus Boot animation on this phone.
Who ever is working on this I would be more then happy to donate to your cause.

Neither of these worked for me on my SR. CWM showed ICS installed fine, but when I rebooted it was still the Samsung and AT&T animations. So then I went back to CWM and installed the SGS2 boot, but I got the same result.
Any suggestions?

Some kernels and mods include their own bootanimation.zip in the flashable package. If you want to keep your existing boot animation, remove the /system/media folder from the zip package before flashing it.
Also, ROM Toolbox has a tons of cool boot animations you can play with, or restore in case you lose your fav boot animation again (granted your fav boot ani is in ROM Toolbox).

kexec recovery questions?

Ok i am running beans rom and am new so bear with me. i understand kinda what kexec does. I have it working i think? It is however booting into recovery after its been shutdown and when i reboot it seems to loop 2 or three times before starting up?
What i did.
Root
installed CWR 6.0.1 (which i believe supports kexec)
Wiped and flashed Beans Rom
is this right? i see that there are recovery images on the kexec forum. should i use one of these instead? Also where is the custom boot.img ? on the sd card? will a nandroid backup from a stock root take me all the way back?
I really appreciate it
Paul
Kexec makes the phone reboot several times. It's just working it's magic. Small price to pay for a custom ROM.

I love having it overclocked to 1.9GhZ .. WOW FAST! what about on a cold boot? do you boot into recovery? i can deal with the reboot but the whole turning the phone on thing sucks
You boot into recovery, hit reboot, and it does the same thing.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Ok so it is normal for it to bootloop on a restart, and on a cold boot to go staright into recovery. So once your in recover from a cold boot just hit restart now and it will boot up.
Where is the custom kernel stored at? uis it booting it from the internel sd card? if so where would it be? What if i want to try a different kernel? All i did was flash bean Rom?
what does it do when you repack a recovery image with the custom kernel. kindof explained here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773514
Also i was doing some research and heard that it is possible ( or maybe being worked on) if you take some sort of image and put it in the /cache that it will not boot loop? by the way i may be wrong. Just interested?

[Q] CM Stuck on logo animation while booting

Hi – I have a stubborn issue with my Blaze 4G not working on CM roms, I would appreciate any help you guys can provide. Below are the details:
I recently bought a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, and did the following:
- Rooted it using the following guide (it now has ICS)
- SIM Unlocked it using the following guide (now it works on other networks)
- Updated to CWM 6.0.3.8, since JB roms needs it
- Flashed the T769-UVLH5 modem, since CM support it
And now when I flash CM 10 stable or 10.2 nightly it gets stuck in booting and displaying the CM logo animation screen, after few minutes it reboots and does it all over again.
I remember when I upgraded to CM JB on my SGS3 I needed to flash a JB stock rom on it to get the new boot loaders for JB, but I saw no mention of this on this forum. What else am I missing?
Thanks.

Thanks Somcom. I have to admit that I forgot to do the wipes. but even after doing the wipes (data/system/ factory rest/ cach/devalk) and reinstalling the CM nightly, I still have the same issue.
as for recovery, I updated to the latest version using the rom manager, and according to the official site clockworkmod[dot]com[slash]rommanager (can't post links) I have the latest version for Blaze. how do you get the 6.0.4.4 on blaze?
I still feel it's a ICS vs JB bootloaders issue, but not sure how to proceed next.
Thanks!

After 2011 samsung began installing software and counters to try and prevent people from rooting and installing custom firmwares.
knox is an example of this.
These devices don't have any of that complicated security.
You handy with odin? Your recovery is not right. Just to be clear, what is your model number?
If it is T 7 6 9, your good to go to odin. I'd recommend going back to stock, and then install a recovery and you should be good to go.

Thanks again, I use the guide here to convert the image into a tar.md5 to flash using odin, but after flashing successfully I still have the same issue when installing the CM zip file in recovery, and yes it is the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G T769.
any other possible causes?
BTW - when I was flashing via Odin my upload phone screen was showing that I have a custom rom and the counter was 1.... do I need to fix that?

SOLUTION:
The reason your stock recovery system keeps getting overwritten at Android startup is because of a script that is being run.* All you need to do is either rename this script or simply delete it.
Please keep in mind that if you restore your stock ROM, this script will be restored with it so you will have to rename or delete it again.* Do the following:*
1.
Make sure your device is powered on and running normally,
2.
Make sure you have rooted your device and that you have all of the necessary permissions in order to manipulate system files.*
3.
In the root file system go to \system\etc
4.
Find the file named install-recovery.sh and either rename it or, as I did, delete it.*
That’s all there is to it.*
Please keep in mind that you will need to flash your custom system recovery one more time after modifying the script file.* After that, reboot away and you will always be able to get back into your new system recovery.
Good Luck and Happy Tweaking.

Thanks Somcom3X - but I'm not sure this is needed for my case. I read the original blog post and my recovery does not get overwritten. I actually rebooted multiple times into CWM recovery and each time it is the same 6.0.4.4.
I also went into the /system/etc folder and there is no install_recovery.sh file.
to clarify, here is where I'm stuck now:
- when I use CWM 6.0.3.8 CM install completes successfully, but then CM will not boot, and will keep on cycling on the boot logo screen.
- when I use CWM 6.0.4.4 I can't start to install CM as it complained that my phone is not t769.
in all cases I'm using CM 10.2 nightly for T769.
Thanks for the help.
You should delete assert lines at the top of the zip's updater-script and it will let you flash it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using Tapatalk
I removed the assert lines from the updater script, and it was able to complete the install process afterwards, however when I booted the new CM 10.0 system it got stuck on the cyanogenmod boot logo. I made sure I do a system/data rest, cleared cash, and cleared devalk.
I do not think it's an issue with my recovery as I'm getting the same result as I did with the official 6.0.3.8.
Something else is going on.
Any ideas?

Ok, my rooted ICS stock is acting up (random shutdowns and such), so I need to give this another try and get this phone to CM.
I tared back to stock GB, skipped the upgrade to ICS (was not able to upgrade via the ROM software update option), flashed CWMR (5.0.4.x) via Odin, upgraded to CWMR 6.0.4.5, installed CM 11 nightly, and then wiped data/factory rest and Dalvik .... and ....
it is still stuck on the boot screen....
I seriously would appreciate a silver bullet right now!

Thanks Somcom3X - I looked all over this forum and the internet, and could not find a link for a 6.0.2.7 CWM for Blaze - I found it for other phones but not Blaze. can you please point me to a link if you happen to know of one. the official site does not have an archived list of previous versions.
as for the provided link, I did follow it through, and downloaded the recovery Tar (it was CWM 5.5.04) but that yielded the same results after installing CM 10 and 10.2 - stuck at boot screen logo. I'm reasonably confident now that it is not a recovery issue, as I flashed half a dozen different versions and none worked with CM 10, 10.2, or 11.... it has to be something else!
