help changing boot screen

Hey all, ive been trying to change my boot screen to the haters gonna hate one for a few days now but cant seem to get it to work at all, i have full root and tried to the fastboot method and recovery/adb method. no matter what it stays the same as the one i had originally, i never get errors when trying to push the files if someone can give me instructions for dummies haha or another method id really appreciate it sorry for being a noob at all this.

I had the same problem
First of all, what rom are you using? Different rooms pull from different places. I might be able to help you out. If you are running cyan6, try this:
Adb reboot recovery
Adb remount (make sure it remounts. Maybe also do adb root to make sure.)
Adb push blahblah.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Adb push blahblah.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Adb push blahblah.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
If you want sound, push that to the same locations. Make sure there is only one of each file in each folder. Then, to check,
Adb reboot
Hope this helps

oh yeah sorry i should have included that i am on evios 1.2 beta 2 rom

I'm not familiar on where to place boot on this rom. Try all three locations I suggested. System customize resource. System media. Data local. Tell me if it works out.

I had this animation on EViO. I just pushed it from my desktop to system/media. Worked fine for me.

how do you push it from the desktop? i tried all 3 methods posted above and none worked. i had the file in the android sdk tools folder though...also whenever i try to do adb remount i get "remount failed:invalid argument" and adb root gives me "error:closed" i tried killing adb and restarting but no luck

This might be an obvious question, but do you have USB debugging enabled on your phone? Under Setting>Applications>Development
You arent going to be able to push anything if you can't get ADB running first.

yeah debugging has been enabled the whole time

ok have you been in recovery mode?
try typing
adb shell
su (make sure #comes up.)
exit (retype until you get back to the tools directory)
then do the push commands to system media, system customize resource, and data local.

Just use this program. Its as easy as it gets.

Putting sound in boot animation doesn't work with cm6. Just to clarify. No one has been able to get it to work unless you found something out to make it work please share as I have hates going to hate also and want to use haters everywhere mp3 and is perfect for it.

yeah i have also been in recovery mode every time i tried to run a command prompt for adb...i tried that when i hit adb shell i get # but when i type su after the # it says "/sbin/sh: su: not found"

thats what i get when in command prompt when i try to use the program you just posted above

Want a easier way? Use root explorer and copy and paste. Works for my every time. It's in the market. And root explore you can manually turn writeable on and off to move it into system. It's on the top right of screen in root explorer when you go into system folder.
Edit: the command you are tying to put in enables you to push and pull in the system folder. Root explore you can just click a button.

Good idea
Root explorer works most of the time. If you have the cash, go ahead. You should make site out posted though.

[Q] ADB help!!

So I have no idea why my G2 isn't being found with the htc sync but its not. I followed this thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685) I made sure i had the platform-tools installed before changing the path. I think this is the problem I am having. There are 2 paths that appear; One in user variables and then one in system variables. I have tried altering both but I am having no luck. Does anyone have any clue to what is going on?

HTC Sync will install the correct USB drivers for your G2. Although you cannot actually *run* HTC Sync with your G2 unless it is running a Sense (Desire Z) ROM. So just install it but don't try to actually run it or sync with it.
It's the System Variables path that you want to change, to add the appropriate directories. This just lets you run adb from any directory on your PC. Even if you haven't got it added, it should still work if you "cd" to the directory where adb resides (in which case you will need to put any files into there that you wish to "push" to your phone).
What is the problem you're having, is it saying "no internal command" or similar ?

The PATH issue, relates to ADB, if you are running into errors like:
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When executing ADB commands that is your issue, it can be resolved by adding the path where ADB lives to either your user or system PATH in Windows. The PATH is irrelevant if you are running ADB from the folder where the ADB files live.
The other (common) issue is drivers, where ADB is working but won't see your device. Do you see an "ADB Device" or similar with a yellow icon in your device manager when your phone is connected to your PC? If so you don't have the correct driver loaded. The only reason you install HTC Sync is to load this driver but the driver can also be loaded separately.

Sorry to hi-jack this thread, and since I'm new to adb I might as well use this.
I have adb running, did the file paths and everything. I'm just trying to test it out, since I'm already rooted using visionaryr13 as well as s-off. Went back and gfree over that, and I've also verified through terminal emulator on my phone, but I'm just testing my skills with adb and failing miserably. I Have d/l the verify file, and unzipped in a folder inside my downloads folder I might add.
When it says:
"
VERIFY (using "gfree_verify")
Now you can try using a new SIM card to verify that it worked.
In addition you can use gfree_verify to verify the state of your locks.
Download gfree_verify.zip from gfree_verify_v01.zip
ON YOUR PC:
Unzip gfree_verify_v01.zip to a place on your computer. Navigate to where the file is on your computer, and type:
$ adb push gfree_verify /data/local
"
I'm having a problem with the navigate to where the file is on your computer and type. I have cmd open, and have tried everyway but the right way to push this through. This is the error I'm getting.
cannont stat 'gfree_verify': no file or directory
EDIT: I got it and I'm sure everyone is laughing at this idiot. So in the cmd prompt you have to navigate to where you put the folder, then push the file to your phone, DUH!

OK, stupid question number two, since I answered number 1.
When you are in a adb shell in your cmd, how do you get out of it besides exiting cmd?

Type "exit".

ty ty.
Ok so I updated something in adb and it's not working. LOL, well restarted, and now the sdk manager is updating some more stuff so hopefully that is the reason I was not getting in.
EDIT: everything is working now.
Ty stevie, really appreciate all your hard work helping us noobies man!

Ya my problem is that when I finally get to do the commands it tells me that "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command.
@raitchison- I checked my device manager and it says that i have the most current driver for the phone. Unfortunately it doesn't say anything about 'adb' it shows my 'portable devices' then into my 'E:/' drive and in the details there it stats 'Android phone'

You just need to add the correct directories onto the end of the path in System Variables. Go right to the end of the path, and then separated by semi-colons (do not put spaces in) add the two pathnames of the tools and platform-tools folder of the Android SDK. If you have done that and it is still not working, copy and paste the path variable up here and we can try checking it.
As I said, you could "cd" to the folder with adb in it, and then run "adb devices" from there, and it should work. But setting up the path will make it more convenient.

Ok well here is the path that i have set up.
- C:\AndroidSDK\tools;C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
I saved the file right to my "C" drive so thats why i didn't go to the program files. I also changed the name of the folder so it was easier to type.
Edit: I got it to finally recognize my device. I went back to my path and found that i had spaced in between my ';' and 'C:/' so thank you very much Stevie on making me double check it!!!

[Q] PC wont register my Evo4g as ADB

I've searched to the best of my ability in these forums and cant seem to find an answer to my problem...
Ive been looking at a particular thread's information on how to replace my MMS file and default.xml in order to get my MMS functionality working on my Evo 4G flashed to Cricket. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793588
Ive installed the SDK, installed the USB driver package within, installed the repository for 2.3.3 (what my phone is running).
I uninstalled all drivers from my phone using USBDeview.
And STILL, after plugging my phone in while in recovery mode (Clockwork mod 2.3.3) my PC will not recognize it as ADB, only as an Android Phone.
I have everything i need setup to push the files to my phone and get back the functionality of my MMS, but I cant seem to figure otu how the heck to get my PC to see my hone as an ADB. Any suggestions?

Did you install the modified unrevoked usb drivers?

Use the original USB cable... had similar problem and that solved it...

"Did you install the modified unrevoked usb drivers?"
I don't know what that is... All tutorials I found instructed to just use the USB drivers provided byt he Google Repository built-in to the SDK. Would this solve my problem? If so, where can I find it?
And yes, I'm using the original USB cable.
Is there a way to push files to the /system directory without using ADB? I just want to put 2 files in my /system directory...

And nope, because you'll need 'permission' to have r/w on the system directory.

If you can still mount your phone as a usb flash, or disk drive or even take the sd out use an adaptor and transfer the files to the sdcard, now you have 2 of many options but these I prefer
1) You can use Root explorer which I prefer this will give you the option to mount system read write rather easily, then you can just copy or move your files and drop them in where you need them
or
2) You can install terminal on your phone and manually transfer files using the commands
this one I am not positive which one is needed but they will work as long as you have root and busybox
# su
# busybox mount -o remount,rw /system -this will put your system directory into read/write
you may try leaving the busybox off if it doesnt work at first.at the prompt you can use either cp or mv for copy or move I would do copy
should look something like this.
#cp (source directory)/(file you wish to copy) /system/(destination of file add additional directories if needed)
Make note though this is all dependant on you having root and busybox installed. Otherwise this will not work but I would work on getting the usb drivers working.

Sounds funny but did you enable usb debugging in settings/applications?

Sure did. I ended up replacing the default.XML, apn.XML and mms.apk files, but still no luck... I tried using apn backup and restore to install the new apn but no luck there either. Aaaaand when I tried to restore deathsled's jiminy mod, it looks like it just defaults back to cm7 instead. Any idea how I can try running jiminy without deleting my cm7 incase it doesn't work out as planned?

Turns out I can't do a full flash (which is apparently what I need to get my MMS and GPS on my Cricket Flashed Evo4G) using ES Explorer or Root explorer. I need to use ADB to do so, but I still can't get the drivers working...
Any ideas?

[Q] ADB

I created the pathways needed to open files in command prompt and set the pathways to C:\Android-sdk\tools and C:\Android-sdk\platform-tools. I have unzipped and installed everything and placed the files in the platform-tools folder, but i cannot access the files through prompt. it tells me C:\android-sdk\platform-tools is not recognized as and internal or external command. Please someone help... i havent worked with DOS since i was in high school 14+yrs ago.

So you changed your PATH environment variable to include 'C:\Android-sdk\tools' and platform-tools?
That just lets cmd run exe's from those folders regardless of where it is pointed, it will not let you access other files from those folders.
You still need to either change where cmd is pointed (using the 'cd' command) or you can move the files to where cmd is currently pointed (probably C:\Users\Username>')

I faced the same problem. My Windows PC didn't recognize the attached Android-device (Check Windows Device Manager).
After following the instructions as described in the following thread it suddenly worked and I could successfully root my device:
[Tutorial] Adb Driver Android 1.0 Install
Cheers
pemphix

Please help
Well i got the USB driver installed and ran adb Devices.... it picked up my phone but now when im running adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp i get the message "cannot stat "fre3vo" no such file or directory". Am i suppose to be in C:\users\name\Android-sdk\platform-tools\ to run the adb push?
If so, need some help with command prompt. Im running windows 7,

need to either edit the path in environmental variables or make sure all the files needed and adb.exe are in the same folder and change directories to there, i have a guide to setup fastboot (and adb is the same setup for the most part) HERE

Ok, Well i got Command prompt to start working. i remembered how to path in dos but my first go round with commands didnt work so i have to try another line to exploit.. wish me luck:fingers-crossed:

I will keep that in mind.. right now im trying to get the exploit to work.. i have gone through 1 thru 3 and got nothing yet...

so you successfully downgraded to 2.2 and are now trying to temp root? maybe like the guide you are using so we know what steps 1 through 3 are and explain what isnt working if you have issues
xda wiki, cyanogen wiki and strawmetals pdf guide are simple easy and trust worthy. i hope one of these is the guide you are using

In process of downgrading

I have gotten as far as "# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 bs=1 skip=160 count=10 1.00.000.010+0 records in 10+0 records out 10 bytes transferred in 0.001 secs (10000 bytes/sec)". Now the next step is to downgrade. the command line is:
> adb push su /data/local/tmp/
> adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
> adb push fixsu.sh /data/local/tmp/
> adb install SuperUser.apk
> adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh
> adb shell /data/local/tmp/fixsu.sh
but my command prompt is still # what do i do to

skip that, thats just for temp root which is pretty unnecessary. just downgrade and move on

I know i sound really stupid, but where is the Root of my SD card??? Please dont tell me its just the card itself...

yup, dont put files in a folder is what that means

Ok, now im in Hboot, but i dont understand what im suppose to do next. How do i work bootloader to downgrade. Once in bootloader i see; fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock and image crc

if the PC10IMG.zip is on the root of sd card and is named properly it will do it for you, just boot into hboot and let it do its thing.
if you want to do it the fastboot way (my preference but both work fine) then follow setherios guide to do it that way
---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------
oh and always check md5sums when flashing firmware, its a good habit to have

Now here is an important question. If i had to turn off my phone before the Hboot took, do i have to go thru the entire process again? or can i just do the reboot bootloader?

well i just tried to fastboot flash zip StockRom.zip and it said cannot load StockRom.zip any ideas how to get it to work??

are you using window? if so know that it may be hiding the file extentions, so pc10img.zip should be named pc10img
etc, this may be your issue other than that you will have to copy and paste your issues so I can see what you are doing and why its failing

RR Won't Flash

Hi everyone. I am experiencing problems trying to flash RR Nougat to my Oneplus 3, currently on CM13 6.0.1. It just won't flash at all. I've wiped cache etc but it doesn't want to execute. I've also tried Lineage OS but failed, I have even tried pushing the file via Unified Android Toolkit and even that didn't work. Phone has an unlocked boot-loader (I'm pretty sure) USB debugging, root access etc. Unsure what the issue is so any help would be appreciated. This is what happened whilst using UAT.

I don't really have an answer for you but recently I tried to go back to stock, after I locked my bootloader I was unable to sideload anything with adb, have you tried flashing it with TWRP? Just a suggestion, are you able to use recovery at all, if uat can't find the directory, it could be a PC issue? I'm just throwing out ideas to try to help.

Update your adb drivers, now command prompt can push files larger then several mb's, don't know precisely how much.
Same problem I had couple of weeks back, don't know why but mine adb driver changed, set it back to the Google adb driver from sdk and the file was sideloaded.

Make sure you are on the latest firmware that is required.

I would just transfer through mtp or download on your op3, then just flash trough TWRP. That's what I do.

Yup follow his method. This issue is somekind of adb sideload bug for huge files, name too long or not run as admin. Restarting PC, reinstall driver OP3 driver is another option if problem still persists.
