I a newbie and I am trying to change my bootanimation.
I have
HTC Desire
OS: Android 2.2 (froyo) I updated it though OTA
HBoot: 0.93.0001
Radio: 5.09.05.30_2
Actually my device was unlocked but branded with UK O2 and loaded with Android 2.1 (Eclair). I used GOLDCARD procedure to make the device unbranded and then updated the OS. I also rooted the device using unrevoked 3.21 and it was successful.
Now the last thing I want to do is to change the bootanimation and I cant make it work. I am using rootexplorer to copy the bootanimation.zip file to
/system/customize/resources
/data/local
But no luck .. the bootanimation screen remains the same “HTC quietly brilliant”
I am also trying to copy bootanimation.zip file in
/system/media
But after copying the file use to disappear. I cant see you though root explorer. I never checked by using "ls" command. Can you please help me guys
Moved to Q&A as not development

here is the thing i am doing using "abd"

Ok,
Super user permission issue is solved
just have to keep the screen active to see the authentication messages from "Super user permissions" and then it works like a charm.

you cant write to /system/ when the device is booted even if your rooted, because we dont have an unlocked spl yet the nand protection prevents it, you need to put your device into recovery, and use adb to push the bootanimation.zip to /system/customise/resource/ and if that dosent work try pushing it to /system/media/

ive never come across this error before i found a thread in the hero section about it tho, maybe you should take a look
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582378
this seems to be the remedy to your problem acording to that thread
simplyphp said:
The ADB server binds and listen to port 5037. If that port is taken and/or if the daemon is already running, you'll see that error message.
Start task manager and kill adb.exe (all the instances of it).
If that don't work, try rebooting your computer and your phone, and trying again.
If it still don't work, try this:

have you tried updating your android sdk files? have you tried restarting both computer and phone? restarting the specific adb server (adb kill-server)?
i've never seen this error message before from adb. it seems very distinct though, have you tried googling this error message?
I have noticed sometimes when switching roms, even if USB debugging is checked I need to uncheck and check again to get it to work. Other than that, everything should work fine if your on OSX. hmm...
ok so.... im running ubuntu and have had system wide adb for ever now. all of a sudden it wont let me push to system.
pushing to the sdcard is fine but other than that its a no go
i have tried adb devices and i show up
adb remount says operation not permitted.
and can reboot go to recovery all from my terminal.i tried flashed a new kernel but its just not going.I just switched over from Xplod to stock OTA just to theme it a bit .
any help would be appreciated guys
these are the results i get after i do a computer restart and phone restart.
[email protected]:~$ adb remount

Hey, first here's some information on my phone:
Arc S
Model Number: LT18i
Android Version: 4.0.3
Build Number: 4.1.A.0.562
Bootloader Unocked: Yes
So, I unlocked the bootloader and I'm now trying to root the device; in order to install Cyanogenmod. I've tried both methods at (I can't post links =__=):
techdraginfo.blogspot.com/2012/06/root-sony-xperia-arc-arc-s-official.html
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
neither have worked for me.
Here's what I've done and what isn't working.
For method 1:
I've installed the ADB drivers, get up to step 8, put the phone in fastboot mode, enter the command fastboot boot ARC-DooMKernel-ICS-BETA-v04-lower-boot.img and I'm prompted with:
Device Waiting
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It never gets past this point.
For the One-Click method;
I've installed the ADB drivers, extracted DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.zip to C:\, run the .bat script and I get a whole bunch of issues related to ADB, such as:
--- STARTING ----
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE
* daemon not running. starting it now *
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
--- creating temporary directory
* daemon not running. starting it now *
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It continues like this for the rest of the script. I don't understand why it will not connected to the ADB server. I've killed any ADB processes previously running prior to running this script and turned off my anti-virus changes.
Any idea why this is?
Cheers

Use the methods from xda, you can find them in the stickys or browsing general, or what you should have done first, searching - root arc s
If you want to install CyanogenMod and you have unlocked your bootloader, then just install kernel and install ROM from it. No root necessary.

Hey guys.
I've been installing roms on my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus One before that... but today I was talking with my gf while installing a rom and after formatting the system I accidentally formatted the sd card. Now I don't have a ROM on the phone and am unable to access the phone from my mac or a PC to install a ROM... did I just brick this? I have CWM touch recover v6.0.3.1 and going into mount sd doesn't work.
Thanks for any assistance.

I've worked through those How-Tos. I've attempted to push in adb and despite the fact that a fastboot devices shows my phone, a push produces the error: device not found
any further input?
Code:
./adb-mac push /Users/Aaron/Desktop/fastboot/ROMS /sdcard/
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
fastboot != adb.

somehow I doubt 'adb devices' outputs your device id. At least in Linux there's a adb parameter that is 'adb start-server'.. which is that "daemon not running, starting it now", and another one that is 'adb devices'..which in your case, comes up "error: device not found".
Check your ADB drivers. CWM had adbd enabled by default, from what I remember.

Ok, clearly I was mistaken. With that said, adb is NOT finding my phone, so is there a way I can push a ROM to my phone using fastboot (which is finding my phone), Or some other feature which I am clearly missing?
I do appreciate the help, despite whatever it might seem I have gone through the help and How-Tos but have been unsuccessful... I'm sure there is something I'm missing... which is why I'm asking.
Thank you again for any assistance.

you can flash the stock rom in fastboot very easily.
I've used the tablet for 6 years now and suddenly ... The battery drained to 0 so after charging and powering up .. it got stuck at boot loop, as it gets to the word android after the 5 dots animation. then the android is starting - optimizing app x of 37...
I've tried disconnecting the battery cable and reconnecting them again.
Wiping cash several times.
Usb debuging is enabled.
No root or custom recovery.
The question is .. if I can solve this problem without factory reset as I would resort to that if there's nothing else ... I have some important data That I'd like to backup if I can. even IF I can backup the data then factory reset it .. that would be fine.

If your hardware/eMMC is not faulty, then...
If it is unlocked, flash/boot TWRP and get your data.
If it is locked, get RESTOCK and try SAFE UNLOCK...

* daemon started successfully

But that when it's stuck on the animation optimization loop.
If I'm in bootloader ore recovery mod ... it returns

And it's empty. So what do you suggest.

Then tried ..

it returns the same message.

Do I need root or what. ??
and if so can I flash twerp and do backup ..if you have any links,
