HTC Merge/Custom Boot - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Ok i havent seen anything about custom boot animations for the HTC Merge, but i found the stock animation and sound files for UsCellulars HTC Merge and was wondering if by using the ADB push method if i could overwrite the original boot animation.
I have already tried putting a custom boot animation into the data/local directory but that did not take.
The directory of the stock animation is:
/system/customize/resources/usc_bootanimation.zip
Can anyone help me figure this out i am temp rooted?

It doesn't matter if you are temp-rooted or not. Without S-OFF you can't write to the NAND which is what you would need to do to change your boot animation. I'm have a Merge as well. I can't wait until root is achieved. Hopefully there will be a solution soon!

Well this just sucks

I now have s-off, seems any app that is able to change boot animations doesn't work.

[Q] Change Boot Logo? (without Logo Me)

Hey, I've done some reading up around here, and I'm looking to change my boot logo (Boot logo. Not the animation). So far, it doesn't look like anyone other than the developer of Logo Me has any method to do so.
From what I understand, "fastboot flash logo.bin logo.bin" doesn't work as it does on most other devices.
Now, I'm no professional, but I've got some of what many don't have: time and dedication.
It boils down to this: To change the boot logo, I'd need (1) a way to get the boot.img off of the phone, (2) a way to reliably edit the boot.img without corrupting it or messing with the format, (3) a way to figure out which file is the boot logo, and (4) a way to get the modified boot.img back onto the phone (again without messing it up in the process).
I'm fairly sure (4) is solved with "fastboot flash boot.img boot.img", but the others, not so easily dismissed.
When I make a nandroid backup in TWRP, the boot backup is an 8MB "boot.emmc.win". I'm fairly sure that this might be of some use, even if it's only for opening and exploring the contents of the partition.
I'm not sure if anybody has any remarkable leads that they've kept to themselves, but I'd figure this would be a good place to start.
Boot.img = ramdisk+kernel
Nothing to do with boot splash
sent from my i9250
the image that youre looking for is somehow connected to the bootloader. so far only ezekeel has figured out a way to do it safely. key word is safely. it appears as its very easy to brick the device if a mistake is made. now, that said, ezekeel isnt your ordinary app developer. hes also one of the smartest, most creative kernel developers that the android has(that doesnt work for google). youve probably even used one of his many kernel mods in one or more custom roms/kernels that youve tried, across varying devices.

[Q] [URGENT] Galaxy nexus stuck in infinite boot loop

ok here goes. theres this big mess of a phone. it was laggy becuase of too many mods.
so i downloaded swapper 2 to create a swap file and allowed it to activate on boot.
then when i rebooted my phone it was stuck in bootloop.
i wiped cache still wouldnt come out did data aswell.
then i went to nexus toolkit and did flash stock + unroot in hope that without root it wont boot up the app.
still never worked
then i did oem lock and unlock
still never worked
flashed on shinyrom 4.4.3
the boot animation changed to 4.3 but still in bootloop
so i need serious help
all of you out there any suggestions
[UPDATE] i just found out my system partition is blank and only contains /system/bin
after flashing numerous roms and flash stock there still doesnt seem to be any system files
[NEW UPDATE] In twrp I enavled mount system and I saw that my whole system files were there after I flashed stock. But the problem is every single permission is messed up. Does someone have a quick way to fix all the permissions
Twrp wont let me do it because it says I need to boot up the phone first.

[Q] How to change boot animation?

I'm running Cyanogenmod on my LG G3 D855. I know I can copy my custom bootanimation.zip to /system/media to change the boot animation, but that gets overwritten each time I upgrade with Cyandelta. I tried putting the zip into /data/local, but it doesn't change the boot animation. How can I change it so that it will survive OS upgrades?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only way that I know for a fact stays under these situations is to use a boot animation that is fully supported in Cyanogenmod's Themes. Download the Theme Showcase to view ones that are confirmed to work with it. After you download it you set it with the Themes app in your tray. These will stay even after updating. Some are free and some are paid.

create totally customized boot-up animation

hi there,
i have found many videos and guides to change boot-up animation for htc one m8, but i couldnt find any guide to teach how to upload my own animation for boot up of my phone. is there any easy tutorial without need to have deep knowledge on android and programming? thnx
To start you need root access, then find your boot animation of the rom you are using and just replace the files.
Cheers.
