Hi everyone, I changed my boot animation using the app Boot Animation Changer. However now I need to return my phone to the store so I kind of need to get it back to the original boot animation. With the app I did "Stock animation" however it's not the right animation lol.
Is there anywhere I can get the stock boot animation to put on my phone, and how to do so with/without the app?
Thanks everyone

<ps, search first>
Great topic, but it doesn't provide the stock boot animation like I'm looking for, only the means to change the boot animation. I tried to search for it actually, but couldn't find anything in regards to finding the original EVO boot animation.
Anyone? Can't seem to find the stock animation.
^^; Doesn't anyone have a backup they could provide?
here is the stock bootanimation: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VMX4Z1ZG
you could also find it on any rom that uses stock bootanimation like DC (extract the zip file, go to resources>customize> and the bootanimation.zip should be there)

Oh I had no idea about it being on the ROMs, that would've been a lot easier. Thanks. :lol:
Though now with the new OTA I'm somewhat afraid to replace my phone, might just stick with my phone and the light leak as long as it doesn't get any worse.
I've been trying to change my Samsung Galaxy S Boot Animation but it seems to be quite the challenge!
I currently use Darky's custom rom (latest 9.1 version based on Android 2.2.1) with Voodoo kernel (the one suggested by Darky himself..thought i don't know why).
I've been googling A LOT and all i could find was bootanimation.zip files and various methods to install them (mainly manual copy with root explorer or cwm) but none of them work and i always get the standard boot animation.
Tried to copy bootanimation.zip both in system\media and in data\local but i still get the same result.
Even these don't work!

The only thing i can do that has some sort of effect is to rename bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg.
By doing this a get a black screen instead of the boot animation, so i can assume my phone/kernel/whateverthereasonis only looks for boot animation within these files.
Am i missing something?Has someone had the same issue?
Thanks!
i faced the same problem i used the darky rom configurator and flashed back to 8.1 for the cool animation but since 9.2 runs heaps better with the fixed root and stuff i had to stick with it despite the now old and lame nexus boot screen
most of the other posts deal with HTC and other phones
i look forrward to the day i can change my boot animation to the droid pissing on an apple
Droid pissing on an apple THATs fer me. Where can i get it???

This is so sad!I can't move on from the stock galaxy s anim..which is not that bad if you ask me, but i want one of my own!
Even using Darky's and changing the boot animation in the Rom Configurator i still get the same stock SGS anim!
Well..al least i can get rid of that annoying startup sound with something else!
lol check out the droid peeing boot screen

Try another kernel

Didn't darky say that changing the boot animation will break the startup script?

Thanks for the advice!
But why do you say "dump that rom" like Doc's rom is much much better than Darky's?
I'm a new Android user so when i decided to go for a custom rom i did some googling and i found Darky's to be one of the most appreciated.
HOW TO install custom boot animation
Use Root Explorer to place the bootanimation.zip in the /system/media folder. Change permissions to match the other files in the folder.

I have used both and am sticking with docs + speedmod. Have had less issues with docs rom especially when flashing themes, boot animations etc.

I know this is old, but is the closest thing to my problem...
I have CM10 in my device (one of the latest nightlys), my boot scree used to show i9000T, the T used disappear after some milliseconds, now it shows me pure gibberish instead of the bootscreen...
Is there a way to get the old Samsung bootscreen?
From Boot animation onwards, everything runs pretty well.
Just like this

Do you have same screen if you try to go into recovery mode (volume up +home+power)?
It looks like if you upgraded your device to gingerbread without flashing ginger bootloaders although they should be in any ginger stock rom.. or maybe you flashed directly cm10 on top of a froyo rom?

Same screen in recovery.
I think it was from ecclair ... so it is better if I downgrade to eclair/froyo, update to gingerbread, and flash cm10 backup again? or the backup would restore the old bootloader?
Or should a gingerbread odin flash would suffice? Now that I remember, I tried to flash a Gingerbread direclty, but didn't find a reliable source for the rom, flashed one european rom, no phone network at all, flashed CF-Root-XW_XEE_JS7-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.
Tried this ROM but failed to finish every single time GT_I9000_XWJS7_XXJPY_XEEJS1
Flash a ginger firmware will do it but..your device is i9000T then?
You know if it's safe to flash i9000 firmware on i9000T (except for 3 maybe)?
You could flash bootloaders alone too,there's Odin package but I don't want to lead you to something bad..from what I read it seems ok but I would prefer YOU to be sure or someone else confirming
The rom you already tried (XWJS7) was froyo actually so won't help here anyway.

Didn't noticed the rom was froyo...
The device showed a i9000T, but in a matter of milliseconds, used to change to i9000 alone.
Behind the back cover and battery, it says i9000T, from what I know, is the same, and never found another source of roms different for i9000T. but I don't really know where to find another rom, every single rom I've tried had it's link broken or some other problem...

And it gets stuck in the SBL.bin
Stuck while sbl.bin?
Ouch,it's the worse that could happen..boot.bin and sbl.bin are precisely the bootloaders and the only flashing step that can brick a device ..how does it went since then?

Still got Download mode...
Flashed the previuous froyo (which I though was a GB), flashed CFroot, flashed CWM, launched CM10 installer zip (so it would load CWM6), restored my image...
Actually, it happened before, that's why I installed CM10 directly last time...
So I gave up, restoring froyo gives me the Boot screen just fine, but that specific Rom gets stuck at modem.bin, and I receive no signal...
I was able to change it just by replacing the file it already had.
Who knows how i can add my own boot animation to cm9. I already split it up into jpegs and put the pics in the original bootanimation.zip inside of /system/media/ Ive even tried flashing it. It doesnt want to take it but my phone still boots up. Is their certain things I have to do besides replacing the pictures?

"Go Locker" works great and it also has the ICS and 3D themes,unless you just want a custom one.
Does Go Locker work well with the Underworld kernel?
Exist other flashable apps. try this

For other way, its very dificult, but the original lockscreen of 3.0 or 3.5 sense only works on Full interface 3.0 or 3.5 sense, it doesnt work (lockscreen) on 2.x Sense
The MikG Rooms had the lockscreen 3.x; RCMix3D room and Energy Room already this lockscreen, and sense 3.X full menus
And other way its try the lockscreen "copy" from golauncher
And finnaly, Agile Lock
its a "more than-more less" alternative to lockscreen 3.0, for all the phones (android Market)
problem sorry kind of a noob

You flashed the version of the rom that changes your splash screen. You need to flash the default stock splash screen thru hboot which is in the OP of this rom. Make sure it's named PC36IMG. When ask to update say yes. You well be back to stock.

I also posted a non splash version,if you dont want it to change.
I want to do a custom boot animation using Rom Toolbox. I was told befor I pick a boot animation I need to hit the menu button and then do a back up. When I try and do the back up I get this. (See picture) I dont wanna pick a boot animation until I know 100% how I can go back to the stock boot.
Thanks for the help!

What kernel are you on? If your kernel does not support etc/init.d (ie stock) then you will not be able to put a custom bootanimation in there. That is probably why the toolbox is not seeing your BA to back up.
There is another way (maybe). You can always download a custom BA and drop it in /data/local, set permissions and reboot. It should run that one over the stock BA. It may not though, as I have never tried this one a stock kernel. Make a full nandroid before trying this just in case it doesn't work.
Sometimes I use this method to mess with my wife's phone and drop a new BA in her /data/local and then when she reboots the next time she's like WTF. She is pretty saavy, so it only takes her a minute or so to figure it out and shoot me a text.
