is it possible to simply replace the logo.rle file on the phone with a new one using an explorer like root explorer to change the splash screen??
guides for changing the splash screen include editing the boot.img file to replace the logo.rle from the ramdisk.

To change the splashscreen you need to replace the logo.rle in the ramdisk in the boot.img.
The ramdisk gets extracted on each boot, so if you just replaced the one in the root directory on your phone, it would get replaced by the one in the ramdisk anyway

I've found a way to change my splash image already however I am wondering if i could get some help with how to do it via the bootloader.
Here is what I have so far:
I need to make a file named pc36img.7z
in that file I need 2 files one named Splash1.img which is my image file and one named android-info.txt which is a text file however I don't know what information I need in the .txt file for a G2. Can anyone help me out?
I'm looking to modify my init.rc file. I've able to dump the boot.img with a straight dd from mmcblk0p7 and double checked it with the backup from CWM. I've been using the bootimg-tools (extractboot and packboot) and can successfully extract the boot.img down to modify the actual init.rc file. However when I pack the new boot.img back up and dump it onto the phone it gets into a reboot cycle. At this point I'm simply unpacking and repacking the original, no modifications to any files, and it is still unable to boot. I'm also aware that this exact method has worked for my Motorola Atrix and Nexus One. Is there something different that I need to be doing on the GS3?

OK, back again
One important thing to notice, meant for all who flash any zips:
Always take a look into META-INF click thru subfolders and find updater-script and open with an editor.
Within you will find exactly what the zip does, what changes will be made and maybe you understand how to revert back.
In your case you got to disable bootanimation in /system/bin again.

Go into /system/bin with any file explorer, find bootanimation and bootanimation.original,
delete first and rename second by deleting the extension .original.

No need for backup here. I guess that both files are there. otherwise I hit the bootanim-creator.
I found this boot animation for Nexus 5 thread, and flashed it on our Moto G and it works on Moto G Falcon. Perhaps the screen size difference is small (4.5" vs 4.95"), hence it works.

Whilte boot animation --> http://www.mediafire.com/file/86naf...tHTC-White-bootanimation-Nexus5-flashable.zip
If you want to resize the boot animation, then you need to unpack it, and change the desc.txt to the correct resolution and push it to /system/media with a root explorer.

I amended the above file and created a correct sized 720p Google boot logo and boot animation for Moto G Falcon. Both are in white color.
Boot Animation - How To :
1. Change the file name to bootanimation.zip
2. Back up your existing bootanimation file by renaming it to bootanimation.bak (in case you decide to revert back to the old boot animation)
3. Using root explorer, push it to /system/media
4. Set permission to 644
Boot Logo -How to:
1. Rename the file to logo.bin (not uncompress as the file is not a zip file but a bin file, as xda does not permit bin file to be uploaded)
2. Using fastboot, flash it using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash logo /path/to/logo.bin

For the boot logo, you need to flash is using fastboot. Change the logo.bin.zip filename to logo.bin, as xda does not permit bin file to be loaded, then fastboot flash it using the following command:
fastboot flash logo /path/to/logo.bin

White logo.bin.zip re-uploaded. Remember to rename it to logo.bin before flashing it using fastboot (not uncompress as it's not a zip file).

Not to invent the wheel, here's the boot animation on youtube.

That's weird. I tried flashing both white and black logo on my falcon yesterday and it worked.
Anyway, I loaded a zip file of both white and black logo.bin files here.
Uncompress them and you'll see these files:
logowhite.bin
logoblack.bin
Then fastboot flash either one of your choice to your phone, and see if it works.

Is said that "logo.zip" must be renamed to "logo.bin" in order to be able to use FASTBOOT and flash "logo.bin" directly on the phone.
Please, READ.

Could you please resize the Bootlogo in order to fit with the Bootanimation of the first post?
Hey, guys! I haven't really posted on here yet. Though once I got my Pixel 2 XL and root was achieved I immediately got to work on modding. I hadn't ever rooted a device before and it took so much trial and error. But I've gotten to a point where I'm relatively comfortable with my device except for one issue: restarting my phone causes that AWFUL bright, max brightness screen to be displayed. Most of my apps and such are dark if I can help it.
I've been trying to flash/move the file/alter my boot animation using substratum, system/media/ in solid explorer, etc. No dice thus far! Substratum just gives me an error.
I'm not able to modify/rename things in system/media/ and have only managed thus far to copy/paste a .zip renamed to "bootanimation.zip" into the folder and overwrite the original. It definitely overwrote it. But now I just get a black screen with Android across it for an animation. I assume that's the OS fallback.
Is it just not possible yet in Oreo? I can deal with it. But it's bugging me and I don't know if I'm just missing something.
No need to flash a new boot animation, just take whatever boot animation zip file you want to change it to and replace the original one. The location is in system/media, the name you need to use for the zip is bootanimation, and once your new boot animation is in the system/media folder, change the permissions of the file so that it reads rw-r-r-
The boot animations in substratum themes often do not work, but any properly assembled bootanimation of the appropriate size will work when replaced in the above described method.
Definitely sounds like a permissions issue. Make sure you change the permissions for the zip file when it is in the system/media folder other wise any file you paste into that folder will just revert back to -rw-rw---- which of course will not play during the boot and you will experience the black screen.

This might help also. But what he said too.

I just checked and it appears I do have the right permissions. Could it be the permissive thing, as mentioned below?

I have it set for rw-r-r- and it is still just the black "Android" animation.
Finally got it fixed! Ultimately I found that setting permissions in solid explorer wasn't enough. I downloaded Root toolkit by cpu82 on here, mounted system r/w, then I moved things around.
Renamed original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak, moved the new "bootanimation.zip" to the /system/media folder, set the permissions (as suggested on this post), then rebooted to test.
Other than the REALLY white Google splash screen with the unlocked lock icon, the boot animation is dark! I'm very pleased with it, as it now matches my system. Thanks for the help, guys! I just needed another way to make the system folder writable.

Thank you both for confirming. I had been waiting for someone to confirm, as I hadn't seen any information whether or not it would trip SafetyNet.
