After changing Wallpaper, Sounds, Boot-/Shutdownanimation needs them a new signing?
Please help me

My Desire is rooted and S-Off. All I need to do is replace the boot and off animation files under \\data\local. Then flash the ROM, and there they are.
PS. I am using CWM recovery 4.0.1.4

If your s_off you can change them while the roms running. Infact if they are in data/local, you can change them even if you aren't s_off. Then just turn the phone off and back on.

So i got helped in other board:
- the bootanimation.zip dont be compressed, the downanimation can be compressed
if i change this the bootanimation is showing

[Q] [q] help desire z bricked

hey i was reading through the guide and wanted to root my phone and i did put all the root_psn psneuter gfree etc files in the platform-tools folder and used the commands on the phone. after all i did reboot on command prompt and on guide it was written that phone will root and u need to reboot. after that my phone is stuck on htc white screen with htc logo and doing nothing. tried rebooting but no luck. PLEASE HELP ME. and on my microsd card there is no rom right now
thanks in advance...
ok try this:
connect your phone to pc and start adb... type adb devices while stucked on screen and look if your phone shows up, if it does type adb reboot bootloader
or pull battery and press power & volume down to enter bootloader
then tell us whats written in your bootloader... means is it s-off and what hboot number?
thanks a lot for your reply.
it says ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.76.2000 (PC1011000)
MICROP-0425
EMMC-BOOT
AVG 20 2010 16:51:01

ok, doesn´t look to bad.
try to enter recovery, if it works mount usb storage put a rom you like on your sd unmount and flash it through recovery
if you can´t enter recovery you have to flash recovery using fastboot: download the image and put it in your platform tools folder; go to platform tools and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then enter recovery and do what i posted above...
i mounted my card and put in the runnydroid rom on it. then i used install zip from sdcard and it installed rom successfully but it is still not booting
don´t use a sense rom, take cm7... you need a different hboot for sense roms to boot (the desire z one)
EDIT: first try to boot into a aosp rom, if it works and you still want a sense 3.5 rom use this guide to change hboot: http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
hey i dont understand. which rom should i use? i have stock froyo rom which i used to downgrade my phone. which rom are u talking about? is it sense 3.0? will it work>?

it´s not sense, don´t use the one you have from downgrade. take cm7.1 from the link above
thanks a lot sir i am downloading and will tell if it works. i would like to know if i will be able to get back htc sense rom? i want runnydroid can u tell me how to get it after installing this rom? and if there is no way to get custom rom then at least is there way to get the froyo stock rom which i used to downgrade?
if you are able to boot in cm7 (which is a custom rom) you can install any custom rom you want... a good sense 2.0 rom for example is this one: http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/sense.html
for sense 3+ roms you have to change hboot (i already posted a link for a really easy guide)
...follow this guide and then put a sense rom of your choice on sdcard and flash it through recovery
but first hope that you can boot into cm7....
sir you are very nice my phone is now running well on this firmware. sir the link that you provided to me doesnt have anything about how to install sense roms or channge the hboot. please can you give any link to help me install a custom sense rom?thanks alot
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
and then flash a sense 3.5 rom (pls don´t call me sir)
thanks a lot so after
After the second reboot, the device will be sitting on the “HTC” screen doing nothing. This is normal, do not panic. It is because you have no ROM installed anymore.
after getting into recovery after all above steps, i can select custom sense zip file from sdcard and install>

[Q] HTC Desire HD Stuck on White screen - S-On with Root access

I have a problem with my HTC Desire HD after attempting to flash a custom rom.
Bootloader unlocked using HTCDev
Clockwork Mod Recovery (Touch version) installed
Root access
Phone will not boot into Android, stuck on white 'HTC' screen.
I have adb access when phone is in Clockwork Mod Recovery
adb shell is showing # so assume I have root
When attempting to flash RUU or PD98IMG get Main Version Older error.
So please can someone guide me in the right direction to recover this phone?
Many thanks

When you unluck using HTC dev flashing roms is different. You have to flash the boot.img separately. So what you do is flash rom,then boot into hboot and make sure fast boot is selected. Then flash the boot.img using the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then reboot. You'll have to do this every time you change roms. I recommend getting 4ext as it has a new feature that will do both steps for you and make it more like the regular soff method of flashing

Hi

I copied the boot.img from the Rom I had flashed (in Kernal/saga directory)
flashed boot.img using fastboot

What have I misssed?
Not sure what you mean by kernal/saga directory. What from are you trying to flash? Saga is a different phone

Hi
I have tried again flashing boot.img that is in a PD98IMG.zip file.
Same result - stuck on HTC White screen.
Thanks for your help with this - is there anything else I need to check / do?
Your trying to flash the boot image of the pd98 onto a custom rom? Let's start from the beginning. Download a custom from from the dhd dev section. Let's say arhd. Place it on SD card and a copy of it boot image(from inside the from zip) in sdk where fast boot is located.
Boot into car do a full wipe(data/cache/system) and flash rom. Reboot into boot then flash the boot img

Many thanks - I realised my error from your previous comment on the sage Kernal.
repeated with the boot.img from the Ace directory in the ROM and I now have success.
I borked this on Sunday and have spend hours googling and reading trying to get it back - so many thanks for your help (and patience).
Muchly appreciated!!
it worked for me i flashed a pac-man 4.2.2 and a jelly time rom both successful after i flashed the boot img thanks a million bro :good:

Bootanimation.zip caused bootloop

Hi Guys, I've stuffed up my LG G3 with a boot animation for a phone with the same resolution. I replaced the stock boot image (hidden in data/) and rebooted, the animation plays great! over and over and over. The original bootanimation zip is still in that folder as bootanimation.zip.orig.
Is there any way of fixing this without reflashing? I'm currently using an Optus/Virgin Mobile branded LG G3.
Flash using normal flash not CSE. Should hopefully fix it. Don't replace boot image. If you want to change the boot animation you just need to replace the bootanimation.zip with the one you want.

Hi, Thanks for the speedy reply, can you elaborate on what you mean by "Normal flash"? As for the boot animation, dont worry, if I can recover my phone I wont be doing any tinkering again without fully understanding what I'm doing lol.
I'd also like to point out that I stupidly, didnt install a custom recovery before doing this. any help would be appreciated.
Using LG flash Tool, select the KDZ file you want to flash then select normal flash as in the picture.
Hope this helps.
Thank you, I will try that tonight.
Nah, didnt work. It cant even register that my phone is connected to the PC. even in download mode

[Q] Screen Not Turning Off

Today I had tried to change my boot animation by replacing the .qmg files under system\media. However, it seems that I messed up and the boot animation is just nothing now. My S3 boots up fine, but the screen will not turn off and pressing the power button doesn't do anything. I know it's not a problem with the button as I can hold it to open the shutdown menu. The menu and back button light up when the phone is booting up but do not light up when I click on them now.
What I did was replace the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg with 2 other .qmg files. How can I make my screen turn off again and get the stock boot animation back? I rooted by towelroot and my bootloader is *locked if that has to do with the problem.
FYI, the bootloader on the i747 and i747m was never locked.
Did you try downloading a stock ROM and extracting the images from there?

Thanks for replying! What should I do after that?
When you installed the replacement files, did you file the permissions for the replacement files?
If you extract the stock ROM, are you able to located the original files?
Did you try installing the stock files and fixing permissions?
Are you running a custom recovery?

I had the permissions as rw-r-r. I am downloading the stock ROM now. And no I am not running a custom recovery.
Do you have the stock bootanimation.qmg?

Ah, I have fixed it by putting back the stock bootanimation.qmg. Thank you for your help!

Zenfone 2 Boot Animation issues

So I love everything about the zenfone 2 4GB version now my question is there a fix for the boot animation or? don't get me wrong I like the default one but if I use a custom one you still see the Asus start up animation is this a 5.0 memory leak issue? or?
I see , you are not getting custom boot animation applied...right?
Are you flashing it right? It should go to /system/media with proper updater script.

No I am flashing it right and it does work the question I am wondering is this a bug? because it plays default asus logo before the custom Animation Because I know most phones I have owned has never had 2 different animations at startup
Yes.. never seen like this. I have had tried myself a lot of bootanimations... after the splash...it goes straight to custom boot animation.

do you know if there is a way to remove or edit the splash? I am just wondering.
I didn't unpack the splash.img yet.... just fastboot flashed a original one after unlocking boot loader.
I know there is a way to edit it cause I did flash custom splash to my tab earlier. I will get back to you on that.
