I found a mod what changed my boot animation to a custom one. Anyway, I done loads and they all worked great. However one of them made my phone soft bricked. It had no animation and I had a blank screen for hours. I flashed stock and it got stuck on the blue glow Samsung logo. I got it working after a while but I want to know what actually happened because I thought that if the boot didn't work, it would just boot without a animation.

A LLOOONNNGG time ago I used a more primitive method and ADBed a boot animation, it never worked, just a black screen. Since the I could never get a boot animation working with SlideMeRoot5r.
When I flash other ROMs the animations work fine. I just flashed the simple droid boot and nothing. Any help?
boot animations do not run w/ slidemeroot5

Hello I just rooted my Epic for the first time and everything went very smoothly! However I'm noticing when I reboot the phone there is a banner logo that shows up vertically on my screen during boot, it appears over top of the Galaxy S logo animation and the Sprint animation... is this normal? Why is it showing up?
Thanks
The kernel your using its set up got custom boot animations. The rom your using don't have a custom boot animation

Well i rooted my g2 today, and i was trying to add a new splash screen, i was using Splash-Screen-Creator-v0.02-Beta. I ran everything and after I restarted my phone it starts with a black screen with a multi colored bar ontop, then proceeds to go to the boot animation. I have tried factory formats, formating it in general and even reinstalling ROMs but still it is there, and i am not sure how to get rid of it.
With abd remove the splashscreen creator. Then flash your rom again.

were would i have to look to find it? because i never had to put in a specific location for the splash screen creator.
Ok well i am pretty stuck, i have no idea where to go. I have deleted anything that i found that i may have put in there but it is still there. any ideas on how to fix it?
Maybe you accidentally replaced the splash screen with a black picture with coloured bar?
You should maybe try flash a new splash screen, using a different method (maybe fastboot if you have eng hboot, or a PC10IMG)

Thanks, that worked, it was my way of making it a .img file that was messing it up. I just dl'd one and it worked fine. Dont know why i kept trying my own haha
Please forgive my noobishness. I've been reading and learning and reading and learning and just when I think I learn how to do something it doesn't work at all. I guess that just goes with the territory.
Anyway, I was running the Blazer ICS rom but I recently flashed the Blazer 4.0 to check it out (it is AMAZING). I wanted to see if I could change to boot animation. The rom came with the generic Galaxy S2 animation. I have the jellybean animation and a transformer animation on my sd.
I flashed the jellybean animation in recovery and when I rebooted it showed a split second of it and then was just a black screen until the phone booted. Unhappy with that, I flashed the transformer animation and then when I rebooted it showed the same split second of the jellybean animation and then was a black screen until the phone booted.
At this point I decided to just screw it and attempted to go back to the generic animation that came with the rom. I went into system/media/ and in there was a zip of the JB animation and a zip of the Transformer animation. I deleted them both and rebooted my device.
This time the phone booted with an animation I'd never seen before. It was just a basic android logo that shimmered left to right. Where in the heck did that come from? Can someone please enlighten me on how to get an animation file working properly?
I thought I read somewhere that you can place an animation file in media/ and rename it, or something along those lines. Should it be a zip file? Should I delete one of the two "samsung boot" files? Which one?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Update: I figured it out. There was an extra boot animation zip in media/ that I didn't see. I deleted that and dropped the Transformer one in there and renamed it "sanim.zip". Works perfectly now. Thanks.

For replacing bootanimations yes you are correct, just rename the animation.zip to sanima.zip and delete the other boot animations that are there. And Blazer does have custom boot animation support so, you should be fine. That android logo you saw is a default boot animation when you don't have a custom one installed.
awesome glad you got it working.
So my friend has a GNexus, custom 4.4.2 rooted, I was using it and trying out Photo Sphere, I finished taking the pics and it started rendering, then near the end it just froze and rebooted, tried using Photo Shpere again, it froze so i had to pull out the battery and got into a constant bootloop "shows boot animation then restarts to google logo again and again".
so I just booted into TWRP and flashed franco.kernel, flashed it and now it works , though it does a couple of reboots on the Google logo then gets into the boot animation.
I'm just wondering what could be the cause of this issue? oh and this has happened before on 4.2.2 and i had to factory reset it and flash stock 4.3 img, then flash 4.4.2 to get it working.
Why would it do this?
and is there possibly any fix? because i'm pretty sure it's still unstable :\
Thanks for any help!
Just re flash the rom
