Hi
Can anybody help me in changing my milestone 2.1 boot logo?
I already rooted it and can do some changes like bootanimation using terminal emulator but can't find a way to change this boot logo.
Thanks a lot for reply.
I have also rooted my phone with GOT's Open Recovery, and done a backup with Nandroid, but was wondering how can I change that opening sequence.
I've downloaded some boot animations in .zip with the following structure:
\
\desc.txt
\part0
\part0\01.png
\part0\02.png
...
Where should I place the .zip or the folder with that content??
Thanks in advance.
May I know your phone model?
If it's Motorola Milestone, I can help.
Indeed, it is a Motorola Milestone.

When you have all the desc.txt and the part files you zip them Using store Then this .zip is placed in system > media there should already be one there.

Sorry, I'm afraid I didn't understand you.
How can I gain access to that folder if it's in the internal memory of the phone? Once that's done, should I overwrite the .zip stored in system\media?
Install Android Terminal Emulator from market and give permission to Superuser access.
Put bootanimation.zip folder in your sd card root.
Run Terminal Emulator and type the followings as exactly.
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
dd if=/sdcard/bootanimation.zip of=/system/media/bootanimation.zip
reboot
You should see some processing as you typed in the third line.
If you see the error, there might be a typo and retype the third line.
After reboot, you will see the custom bootanimation of your choice.
PS- There are many custom bootanimation.zip files out there and you can download them for free.
Hope this can help.

I had to put bootanimation.zip to /data/local and then it worked flawlessly.

Have you ever tried to change the Milestone boot logo? Is there a bit easy way to do it than the way like backing up with Nandroid, flashing the ROM and update again?
I'm not sure its possible to change the motorola logo, with the locked bootloader and kernel
correct me if i'm wrong

DroidX bootanimation, renamed to bootanimation.zip in /system/media ?
bootanimation and bootlogo are different.
bootlogo is the one u see first after reboot and bootanimation is the one with the animated features (actually .png files).
For my case, my bootlogo is our local teleco's one and probably Motorola put it as a default when they shipped for Singapore.
So they might use locked bootloader and kernel to prevent changing it.
For bootanimation, that zip file is in /system/media and you can swap it with another bootanimation at anytime.
But the case is you can't simply copy and paste it using Market Apps like "Root Explorer" or "AndExplorer" or smth like those as the /system/media folder is readonly.
So I used terminal emulator to change the bootanimation.
I could change it successfully but I still can't find my way to change the bootlogo so if anyone ever tried and changed it successfully, pls share your ways.
Thanks.

Yes. For getting it to work it has to be put into /data/local (at least for me)

I can tell you where you'll find the files for changing the boot loader, but it won't be of any use:
Unpack the boot.img of the stone and there you'll find it somewhere, but since you have to repack the modified boot image again and flash it, you'll notice that it won't boot anymore because the signature has changed...so until they don't unlock their boot.img nothing can be done IMHO.

Great, thanks a lot!
I was trying to change my bootanimation and accidentally deleted the system stock bootanimation file on root explorer.
I think I deleted the one from system/bin and the one in system/media.
Now i have no bootup screen...it's just black.
I tried replacing both of them with the bootanimation.zip file i wanted to use and nothing has worked.
Sorry I'm new at this and have googled and read as much as i can. I successfully changed the bootanimation screen the first time but i wanted to change it again and accidentally deleted the original bootanimation folder, which i guess you needed.
I'm afraid to do a system recovery because I have a rooted phone and I'm using Boost with it. I don't know if that will effect it in a bad way.
Please help!
Use bootanimation zip file intented for your device resolution...just search in this forum...

If your phone doesnt boot, how did you replaced these files without booting your phone? I have the same problem, but I have got an animation backup. But I dont know how to put it in my phone.
flash a new rom on it
I've been trying to load a custom boot animation from Rom toolbox. Not having any luck. It has an install option that doesn't seem to work. I've gone into system media file and there are no signs of any bootanimation.zip. I've copied the custom ba into the system bin and replaced the existing file with it and all I managed to do was get a black screen rather than the stock ba. As far as I can tell I have full r/w permissions. Am I going about it wrong or is Rom toolboxes boot animation not compatible with inspire?
Thanks

After replacing bootanimation.zip are you changing permissions to R/W, R, R? Don't know if it's necessary, but I always do it that way and have never had a problem.
If you don't see bootanimation.zip in /system/media/, do you see it in /system/customize/resource? If so, put it here
Youre the man. I didn't even think to look in there. Thank you

I'm using rooted samsung galaxy s advance with DDLD4 gingerbread. The custom font instaler from ROM toolbox works but the booranim. doesn't. And where can I get a custom ROM for my phone. Please help.

I have rooted Sony Xperia C and added some fonts to /system/fonts. I have changed /etc/fallback_fonts.xml file and forgot to change the file permissions. Now my phone is not booting. Is there a way to change the file permissions without booting the phone?

Same thing happened to me. Tried to get a console through ADB, didn't work. Had to install the ROM again. The next time I didn't modify fallback_fonts.xml but renamed my font into an existing one and replaced the existing font. It worked.

Make a bootanimation in 1080x1920 resolution (be very careful about this, if it is in any other resolution your device will not boot.) and place it in:
Device>Cust>Preinstalled>public>media
Before copying your new bootanimation.zip to this foler rename the existing bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak (or whichever name you like) and leave it there.
Change permissions of your new bootanimation to rwrr with ES Explorer.
If want your bootanimation sound changed as well, you can save a file in the .ogg format, max 10-15 secs and place it here:
Device>System>media>audio>animationsounds>
* Remember you will have to change all files back to original if you want to install Huawei's OTA updates in future, so be sure to keep backups of the original files.
Thank you verta much!
regular bootanimation
anyone got the regular Huawei bootantimation? (L04? L12?)
I'm on L02, and the China Unicom bootanimation is annoying.
Thanks!

If you have root, you can debrand (change boot animation) using this tool. Wokked for me.
I've tried with My Honor 6 Plus (PINE PE-TL10) stuck at the new bootloader, cust folder missing from TWRP file manager (I made a backup before swap , but no way to restore)
Emergency flash (SD method) end with error message ("Cust folder missing" or "customization failled") but works (it wipe your data).
then a upgrade to Marshmallow (Emirates B510 Version) and the folder is not present on Android 6 !
