So, I just rooted and installed CM11 on my galaxy nexus (verizon) and I was changing the boot animation to a more stock animation, so I flashed the animation from CWM and rebooted. The animation is slow and I wanted to change it back. I got a new animation from my computer and then tried to flash that .zip. It appeared it did not work because the animation is still there. I had made a backup of my ROM on the phone itself thru ROM manager. How do I remove the crappy animation and back to a more stable one and, if necessary, how do I go about flashing that backup thru CWM?
Thanks in advance,
Someone who screwed up.

Hey guys,
I seriously screwed up my Note (T889). I installed the latest nightly of cm10.1, but it got stuck in a boot loop. I pulled the battery and tried to boot into cwm, but it would only boot into download mode or the loop. I tried to use odin to flash cwm back onto the phone, which seemed to work (I could boot into cwm once). While in cwm I did a factory reset and then rebooted the phone. Now when I turn it on it sits on the screen that says Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for a while then goes black, nothing else. I can boot into download mode, but I can't boot into cwm or the stock recovery any more. I tried using odin to flash cwm again from download mode, but I still can't boot into anything else.
I really just want my phone to be usable again right now, so if anyone can help me out at all I would really really grateful, thanks!
I've read this thread which seemed similar, but unless I'm doing something wrong my problem seems to be slightly different: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034323
Flash TWRP then flash a aosp kernel.
this is XXXDDDAAA
Thank you so much, it's back to stock now!
So I had an I747 with ATT running on SuperNexus (d2att Build 4), and I tried to flash to the latest ATT Lean Kernel. Cleared cache/dalvik, flashed, and rebooted. Phone would boot to the Samsung logo and shut down, whereas it used to load a Nexus boot animation afterwards (at least I think it shut down, the screen would be black and not do anything). I couldn't enter recovery at that point, and without a backup I just went ahead and flashed stock image with Odin without being able to reset to factory or clear the caches. Needless to say, I'm now unrooted with no custom recovery, and now the Samsung logo hangs after going through the animation, just glowing. I still can't get into recovery (it shows the initial Samsung screen saying it's going into recovery, but then reboots), but I can get into download mode. Not really sure what to do. I've got a job on the line, and I need to just get it in working order. I'd appreciate any help!
EDIT: Flashed TWRP with Odin successfully, can enter Recovery. Wiped cache/Dalvik and factory reset. Reboot. Phone goes through Samsung animation and ATT animation, and then hangs at glowing Samsung logo. Still don't know what to do.

Can you load a rom and kernel on a SD card and flash it ? Are you still unable to get into download mode ?
If you cant load a rom on an sd card then try download mode and just flash this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
in odin. It will reroot you and you can go from there.
if you're able to use the above attached link to get your device up and going again (with root), you'll have to install a custom recovery again. not a big deal, just didnt want you to boot into recovery to flash something and find yourself in stock vs custom recovery. cheers!
Hey guys,
I've got an LG G3 (D855), I've decided to flash it after wanting to go back to CM. I rooted with purpledrake, then installed TWRP.
Once there I downloaded Liquidsmooth, I backed up and did a wipe then tried to install the rom. It installs fine but the boot animation just loops over and over - I've left it for a while but it doesn't seem to want to boot.
I thought it was a corrupt download so I re-downloaded LS, and also downloaded CM12, after booting into recovery, wiping and flashing both it still doesn't want to get past the boot animation. I even rebooted into recovery and wiped the dalvik cache and no change.
I can reboot into recovery and restore from my backup, so the phone is fine but I just want to know why it doesn't want to boot when I install a custom rom.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi all. I've got a Sprint Note 2 that's not active with any plan and I just want to use it as an extra mini tablet.
I want to use it for music and videos as well as for making music with Caustic. For this to work with low latency I need lollipop.
Previously the phone was rooted and was running twrp and various kitkat ROMs.
I found a version of cyanide ROM that's a tablet style rom with no mobile data or calling enable. Wifi only.
plus therebwas this Shift package that would enablenetflix to work. Great.
So i downloaded cyanide tablet version, shift and gapps. Using twrp i did a full wipe and flashed the rom and shift but gapps wouldnt flash.
So for the time being I gave up on gapps (though I will definitely need the play store to load my purchased apps.
When I tried to boot the phone it just hung at the bootup animation.
Someone suggested I use philz recvery. I flashed philz with odin and booted into recovery. Sure enough philz was working. So then i wiped again and tried to flash the cyanide rom again. This time not even worrying about gapps until i could verify that the rom would flash boot up.
Again it got stuck in the boot animation screen. I tried flashing it with odin instead of from the microsd card. Again stuck in the boot animation.
I reinstalled twrp and tried flashing with that again. Same issue.
So then I tried cw12.1. Even though netflix doesn't work on it last I checked. I wiped and flashed and again stuck in boot animation. Though this time its the cm animation. So i know the rom was at least flashed.
This i thought perhaps somehow i lost root so none of these kernels would load. So i downloaded cf autoroot and flashed with odin which said it was successful. Phone rebooted...again stuck at bootup animation.
So basically the phone is bricked. What should I do? Install stock rom with stock recovery, then root and wipe and install cyanide? Or should NOT wippe and install it? How shoud I root it, with what methos and when during the flashing sequence. Ive tried every combination I could think of
Hello,

I reboot and its the same boot animation as it was before. If anyone could help me or give me any suggestions I would be extremely greatful
Below I have listed some info

Rooted with magisk

most common issues with custom boot anim's is the format. If the one youre flashing is set to a DPI outside of what the bootloader knows the panel is capable of, then itll just revert to the old one or none at all. I ran into this all the time when i was making my own for my old Evo. I flashed a rick astley anim on a buddies phone just to be a prick like 10 years ago it was pretty epic
