Hello,
I was wondering is someone could walk me through how to change the boot loader on the SGH T-989 please?
Thank you,
Bella.
Why would you want to change it? The bootloader is already unlocked and only displays for about 1 second at most, not to mention the risks of flashing the bootloader.

Or you could install ROM Toolbox. Its super easy that way

Depends ROM toolbox didn't change the animation it just created it for me I made my own and sound use root explore w/r but make sure you download a file converter on the market it will convert it to the same file type change it to the same that is in the rename it to boot animation

So I want to flash a CM9 ROM to just have fun with, but I also want to keep my Darkside as an emergency backup cause it's completely stable and I have it exactly how I want it. So what I'm asking is if I made a backup up my Darkside, could I rename it Darkside with a file explorer or does that break the back up? Our is there any certain kinda things I have to have with the name when I rename it?

Nope. You can actually use from manager to rename them if your not confident.

All you have to do is to change your mount from r/o to r/w. R/W = ReWrite.
Just like CD-Rs and CD-RWs.

Some actually like the more subtle and simple bootanimation. Clean and Simple the "Google Way"... None of that flashy bootani stuff.

use root explorer, place in system/media. Rename original one to old-bootanimation.zip, then paste new one in system/media and make sure its all lower case and looks just like this ---> bootanimation.zip and the permissions are the same as the old one. Then reebot.

You have to have a custom kernel installed that supports boot animations. The stock .qmg files are propriety. And you cant replace those ones. Believe me I've tried. Lol.

I am on a GB. I am running rogue kernel. Its safe in GB, hopefully ICS soon. And yes you can just get rid of them. But when your phone boots up it will be a blank screen. (while booting, you'll see Samsung screen, then nothing until lockscreen comes up.)

If in not mistaking, you should have a folder called xda downloads or something similar. That's where that type of link will download to.

Why does it matter where it downloads to?
You can move it to where ever you want afterwards.

First option won't work for multiple reasons- 1: I cannot pen the required for creating the logo. 2: I'm a total noob and don't know how even if I could.
Second is not an option because o like clean rom and don't want to change to a lesser quality rom when I know someone with developing experience could probably do this in their sleep.
I don't even necessarily need an att logo. At this point I would just like to have a logo period.
