Got bored of searching and googleing... but using MoDaCo's WIP R4 FroYo ROM and Clockwork Recovery... when I flashed the ROM I lost the boot time animation (the PC BIOS one) so tried to put it back in recovery using adb push *file* /data/local (file copied ok) but still only have the htc boot screen also tried pushing the file with the phone booted, but again no dice
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance
------ Resolution ------
Ok, firstly massive thanks to those who helped - you are what xda is all about ... I finally managed to resolve this problem by
adb mount /system
adb shell
looking around and removing all bootanimation.zip's I could...
then exit the shell session and adb push the bootanimation.zip to /system/media
adb reboot and
I found this info here: http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-droid/97562-froyo-boot-animation.html
Not sure why this keeps changing? Maybe it is something specific to the Modaco R5 ROM?
Try pushing it to /system/customize/resource
yes the directory for froyo is the
/system/customize/resource
thanks for the assist guys, I tried this in recovery
"adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource" which went ok, the adb reboot and no show with the new boot screen any ideas??
Many thanks
first of all
mount the /system
then the path should be /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
still cant get it to work I'm afriad
Here is what I did...
reboot to recovery (clockwork mod)
adb shell mount /system/
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb reboot
and no new boot animation
any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Ok, found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7239986 - booted to clockworkmod recovery and tried:
adb shell
mount /system
and got "mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system failed: Device or resource busy

Is that a typo? the path for the first adb command entry should be 'adb shell mount /system', not 'adb shell mount /system/'
Also, where are you placing the bootanimation.zip file? try placing it directly to the C: (C:\bootanimation.zip) and try executing the commands again.

Thanks for the reply -
The bootanimation.zip is in the same folder as adb... it says xxx bytes copied which is the same as the file size... I've tried with /system with and without the trailling / still no joy..
If I do adb shell mount /system in recovery I dont see anything... but if I do adb shell [enter] then the commands I see the error about the device being busy...
Is there anyway to do this from a terminal app in the phone directly?? I seem to recall there is but cant find it...
Thanks for the help guys

i want to create an update.zip i can install via the recovery console.
i have the apk which is
com.lookout.apk
i have created folders system/app
zipped it and signed it but when i try to flash it needs an update .script how do i create an update script to tell the recover console to install the app to system/app
If you have the apk, why not just install it via a file manager (Astro), adb install (adb install <path:\package.apk>), or adb push (adb shell -> mount /system -> exit -> adb push <path:\package.apk> /system/app) in recovery?
Plenty of ways to install without needing a flashable zip if it's just for you.
If you really need a zip, I'd find somebody else's who is doing the same thing and just replace the APKs and resign it.
Just thoughts.
Hi,
I´m kind of in the same situation. I want to install Sim Checker Pro as a system App.
It is currently installed.
The author told me to copy the simchecker15.apk from /data/app/ to the sd card. Then delete the original. Then copy it over to /system/app/ and finally delete the apk on the sdcard.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell cp /data/app/org.ajeje.locservice15.apk /sdcard
adb shell rm /data/app/org.ajeje.locservice15.apk
adb shell cp /sdcard/org.ajeje.locservice15.apk /system/app
adb shell rm /sdcard/org.ajeje.locservice15.apk
Since I´m not able to write to /system unless I mount it in (pauls) recovery mode can anyone tell me how to do this on the Desire exactly.
I get adb working in recovery and can also mount /system but how do I push the files from /data/app/ to sd and from there to /system/app?
Edit: I got it sorted out
it was
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell cp /data/app/org.ajeje.simchecker15.apk /sdcard
adb shell rm /data/app/org.ajeje.simchecker15.apk
adb shell cp /sdcard/org.ajeje.simchecker15.apk /system/app
adb shell rm /sdcard/org.ajeje.lsimchecker15.apk
After updating to the leaked 2.2 update, I have been unable to change any boot animations.
I have tried using adb push commands to push the bootanimation.zip AND using recovery flashes that should install boot animations, but neither have worked.
Anyone else encountered this problem/found a fix for it?
Thanks in advance.
NOTE: The animations I have tried to use are:
Froyo Drawing and Android Bios Boot Animation
(I would post links, but as a new poster I am not permitted)
I had the same problem then I found out verizon is being sneaky. The files are located in:
/system/resource/customize
Rename your files to replace:
VZW_Droid.mp3
VZW_bootanimation.zip
And it will work!
Have fun
Just tried and I still had no luck..
Do I push VZW_bootanimation.zip to /data/local or /system/resource/customize?

Cant you just flash it though rom manager or recovery or does it have to be pushed.
Aslo does anyone have a link to where I can find boot animations?
No its system/customize

Ok ive never really gotten into doing anything beyond flashing items through recovery or rom manager. Is there a good fourm started somewhere to teach someone about doing this on a mac?
Just adn push bootanimation.zip /system/customize and if you want sound adb push android_audio.mp3 /system/ customize
Make sure to put a space between bootanimation.zip and /system/customize

Thats what Im not familiar with I have only used adb to remove bloatware and i was copying all instructions from someone else. I need to find a fourm to teach me that.
Certain boot animations can be flashed through recovery, but as far as I know those no longer work with the Incredible since Big Red changed the location of the boot animation.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I have attempted pushing both bootanimation.zip and VZW_bootanimation.zip to /data/local, /system/customize, and /system/resource/customize, all to no avail.
Can somebody post a bootanimation that they have successfully changed on their Incredible since 2.2? I would like to be sure it's not just the animations I have tried using.
I've got the same problem and have a thread going about it also. I've tried the animation from the Droid X and today I've been trying the new Droid 2 animation, neither is working for me.
BEFORE I upgraded to Froyo I had the Droid X animation working where I pushed it to data local, so it's got something to do with 2.2 and changing the location AND adding the "VZW_" doesn't seem to work for me.
Following these instructions from another thread worked for me!

Plug in phone
reboot to recovery
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Once booted in to recovery do
Code:
adb shell
mount -a
It will give you this error. Thats fine (It's just saying it couldnt mount the sdcard which we dont need right now.)
Code:
~ # mount -a
mount -a
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1 on /sdcard failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 on /sd-ext failed: No such file or directory
now type exit to get back to your computer prompt.
Now push your bootanimation.zip you want to /system/customize/resource
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
now now get back in to adb shell and type
Code:
cd /system/customize/resource
then ls *.zip and it should look like this. l = lowercase L
Code:
/system/customize/resource # ls *.zip
ls *.zip
bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.zip
Now we want to rename the vzw boot animation to .back to save it
Code:
mv VZW_bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.back
Then we want to rename the new bootanimation to the vzw bootanimation
Code:
mv bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.zip
OPTIONAL STEP: IF YOU DONT WANT THE DROID SOUND ON BOOT
Code:
mv Droid.mp3 Droid.back
type exit and adb reboot . It should now boot with your new boot animation.

Did you have to mount system?
what about switching to the sdk>tools folder?
EDIT: THANKS! I got it. For those wondering, yes mount the system and switch to the tools folder.
I also went from this...
cd /system/customize/resource
to this...
mv bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.zip
and didn't need the steps in between.
Basically it looked like this...

Tried these steps
Connect to your Fire TV using ADB
(If you don’t know how, follow up to Step 4 Part 2 in our Windows or Mac guide)
Run the command: adb shell
Run the command: su
(If this is the first time you’ve ever run su, a pop-up will appear on the Fire TV, select Grant)
Run the command: chmod 777 /cache
Run the command: chmod 777 /cache/recovery
Run the command: cd /cache/recovery
Run the command: echo “--update_package=/cache/update.zip” > command
Run the command: exit
Run the command (yes, again): exit
Run the command: adb push update.zip /cache
(This assumes the update.zip file you renamed in step 2 is in the same directory as adb, otherwise enter the full path to the file like adb push C:\full\path\to\update.zip /cache)
Once the update.zip file has finished transferring to the Fire TV, run the command: adb reboot recovery
The update.zip file is on the same folder where the adb platform-tools is located, but when I enter the full path it says no such file or directory.
Mine looks like this C:\Users\XXX\platform-tools>adb push update.zip /cache
What am I doing wrong, please help
CD to the directory first . then enter adb push update.zip /cache

when you push a file with adb, the file must be in the same folder/path you're running the adb command from. From your example, you need update.zip on your PC at C:\users\Stevie G\platform-tools\
The error is saying the file isn't at that path.

might have issues with the space in Stevie G, try a folder without spaces.
I was following this thread http://en.miui.com/thread-183258-1-1.html for resizing system partition. ADB worked fine when phone was switched on and "adb shell" command worked fine. But when I rebooted into recovery mode and typed the same command I got this "/sbin/sh: su: not found" error. I tried to mount /system in recovery mode but in vain.
Please guide!
Thanks!
make sure u have rooted
boot into twrp
umount data cache and system and also disable mtp
use twrp filemanager go to system/bin chmod to 755 and copy parted to system/bin
now u can try adb shell
Hi there,
here comes my collection of bootanimations for Suzuran. Maybe they are useful for other devices?
Klick
bootanimation_Berni.zip: My used one
bootanimation_google.zip: From Google inspired, minimal and playful one
bootanimation_lineage.zip: The one from LineageOS team
bootanimation_stock.zip: The original one from Stock ROM 7.x
How to change the current bootanimation?
Enter these commands line by line:
Code:
adb root
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /
exit
adb push <name_of_bootanimation_file> /system/media/bootanimation.zip
exit
Reboot.
If you want to save your current bootanimation file, you should perform this command FIRST:
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip

That's the file size of the bootanimation file from LineageOS team (see attached picture). I've tested every one of those four files and everytime after reboot I've gotten the wanted result.
You're doing something wrong!

Is every command executed successfully?
Code:

win10 ,but i know there was something else am doing wrong, had same situation a while ago but cant remember how i fixed it , tried to use different apps to change bootanimation and nothing worked , at the end it was something simple just cant remember what it was
No. Not the OS of your computer, the OS of your z5c.
I'm using los18. Maybe with other OS's this is not working?
hhe android is also 10, so los 17
I've flashed los17.1 yesterday and the changing of the bootanimation works flawlessly; as expected.
ook soo am just stupid as hell ,copied bootanimation.zip to just bootanimation.
