Today I had tried to change my boot animation by replacing the .qmg files under system\media. However, it seems that I messed up and the boot animation is just nothing now. My S3 boots up fine, but the screen will not turn off and pressing the power button doesn't do anything. I know it's not a problem with the button as I can hold it to open the shutdown menu. The menu and back button light up when the phone is booting up but do not light up when I click on them now.
What I did was replace the bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg with 2 other .qmg files. How can I make my screen turn off again and get the stock boot animation back? I rooted by towelroot and my bootloader is *locked if that has to do with the problem.
FYI, the bootloader on the i747 and i747m was never locked.
Did you try downloading a stock ROM and extracting the images from there?

Thanks for replying! What should I do after that?
When you installed the replacement files, did you file the permissions for the replacement files?
If you extract the stock ROM, are you able to located the original files?
Did you try installing the stock files and fixing permissions?
Are you running a custom recovery?

I had the permissions as rw-r-r. I am downloading the stock ROM now. And no I am not running a custom recovery.
Do you have the stock bootanimation.qmg?

Ah, I have fixed it by putting back the stock bootanimation.qmg. Thank you for your help!
Glad you posted your solution in case another member experiences the same issue.

I unlocked and rooted my GSM Galaxy Nexus using the pocketnow.com guide and flashed ClockworkMod, made a Nandroid and then tried to flash AOKP maguro build 28. As soon as I try to flash the ROM, it boots me into recovery mode and then immediately Andy pops up, laying on his back with an exclamation mark in a red triangle on his chest.
I was scared I bricked my phone, so I pressed the three buttons all at once and I got to system recovery. I had the option to either wipe the phone or to reboot.
How do I fix this? I don't want Andy on his back, I want him on his feet feeding me with messages of how he is installing the ROM.
Thanks bunches in advance.
cws
search around, if u don't remove the file inside /system named recovery-from-boot.p, everytime u reboot ur phone it reflash the stock recovery overriding ur cwm recovery...remove the file (backup it somewhere on ur sdcard/pc), and flash the recovery again..this time it should stick and u can flash roms
I found the file in the cwm backup folder, thats hardly it. But I wouldn't know where else to look for it. Where should the system folder be?

u have to brwose ur phone with root explorer (or some other file browser with root capabilities), mount the /system folder as R/W and delete/move the file recovery-from-boot.p
Done. Still the same problem.

Maybe I'm missing the fastboot file?

as far as i remember the note toolkit has an option to restore stock rom. it leads you through the whole process including downloading necessary files. might work..
or just flash the stock rom in Odin...
Hopefully, you learned a lesson to always back everything up before you make major changes to your rom..

Yes that is what it does.
Here is a signed update.zip that will install the stock build.prop for 5100XXBMF2 version.
Remove your external SD and place the update.zip on it , reinsert your externalSD and boot to recovery.
select update from externalSD.
(should work on stock recovery)
If that doesn't work install a custom recovery (with Odin, see dev section for toolkit , odin is in that toolkit if you open the folder, your tablet needs to be in download mode)) and install it with that.
Then just reinstall stock recovery if you want. Or just reboot as if you didn't remove the recovery from boot.p file your custom recovery will be automatic replaced by a stock recovery when you reboot your tablet.

Hi Guys, I've stuffed up my LG G3 with a boot animation for a phone with the same resolution. I replaced the stock boot image (hidden in data/) and rebooted, the animation plays great! over and over and over. The original bootanimation zip is still in that folder as bootanimation.zip.orig.
Is there any way of fixing this without reflashing? I'm currently using an Optus/Virgin Mobile branded LG G3.
Flash using normal flash not CSE. Should hopefully fix it. Don't replace boot image. If you want to change the boot animation you just need to replace the bootanimation.zip with the one you want.

Hi, Thanks for the speedy reply, can you elaborate on what you mean by "Normal flash"? As for the boot animation, dont worry, if I can recover my phone I wont be doing any tinkering again without fully understanding what I'm doing lol.
I'd also like to point out that I stupidly, didnt install a custom recovery before doing this. any help would be appreciated.
Using LG flash Tool, select the KDZ file you want to flash then select normal flash as in the picture.
Hope this helps.
Thank you, I will try that tonight.
Nah, didnt work. It cant even register that my phone is connected to the PC. even in download mode
Last week I rooted my Galaxy S3 using Odin and today I went as far as to unlock the boot and flash the phone to use a custom boot image. Unlocking the boot was fine and flashing it with Flashify using a TWRP IMG file until it asked to reboot. When it turned off it didn't boot back and I have tried removing the battery. the SD card and putting it back and it did nothing.
I honestly didn't check if this has happened to someone else in the forums because most of the times I come here its a hassle to find the right thread so if someone has already posted a solution please link me or if not any other kind of help will be welcomed.
What do you mean unlock the boot? And a boot image is not the image you see at boot if that's what you thought. A boot.img is part of the kernel. What were you trying to do? What file did you use?
Do you mean you unlocked the bootloader? The sprint s3 isn't locked. I can't figure what you're talking about.

sorry for the late reply...
I was trying to install a custom boot animation and the instructions I found where to install an app called Quickboot to make a TWRP recovery back up of the ROM to be modified in case an error happened and I had to go back to the previous setting. After I did that the app required the phone to restart to apply the changes, it turned off it never turned on after that up to this day.

If you want boot animation change, DO NOT install a boot image. Not the same thing. Boot image is part of the kernel (boot.img and ramdisk). For a boot animation, you need either a custom binary, or be using a rom that supports custom boot animations.
Did you make a full backup in twrp first? You can restore your backup.

The one from Sprint, SPH-L710 / Kit-Kat 4.4.2
Hello,
1st of all i am newbie in here. Yesterday I have gotten into a really strange problem, Searched the internet and this forum also, didn't find any similar kind of problem anywhere. Please help if you can.
For somedays I was using Unofficial CyanogenMod 12.1 Nightly for my zenfone 2 ze551ml. Yesterday I installed Bliss v6.0 for Zenfone 2 using twrp. Before installing bliss v6.0, I made a backup using twrp and did full wipe. but having some error with the bliss rom I tried to go back to cyanogenMod 12.1 using restore from twrp.I also did a full wipe before restore cm12.1. Somehow it didnot restore propoerly and my phone got softbricked.
After that I tried to fresh install the cm12.1 using the zip file. But I couldn't enter into the twrp. When I tried to go to the recovery, my phone just rebooted everytime and took me into the fastboot menu. Also when the phone starts, there is a4 colored box instead of Asus animated logo.
I had to install the twrp again using my computer to enter into the custom recovery mode. After that I did a clean install of CyanogenMod 12.1 and it worked. Right now my phone is working well but whenever I tried to start the phone or reboot it, at the boot menu before showing cyanogenMod logo, the 4 colored box was there, where before the Asus animated logo was showing. I took some picture of it for your better understanding but as this my first post here,neither I found the picture upload option, nor xda let my post image hosting link. If you know how to fix the problem, please help me. I am kind of worried of this problem.
Regards.
It's not a problem, a rom has overwritten the boot screen.
Not sure how you'll fix it unless you try the way you fix the white bootscreen after unlocking your bootloader but not sure if there was another screen before this...

Thanks. I installed the black splashscreen and it worked. but I didn't have the animated one now. Is there any way to find the stock animated splashscreen?

Aside to go back to stock I don't know where you will find it.
If you do go back to stock it will put everything back as it was then you could reflash another custom rom, just be aware though you might have to start from scratch with a factory reset...

Here's the bootanimation just place it in
/system/media folder and you will have the factory animation again.
Note: (root required) make sure the file name stays the same. You can rename your old boot animation to bootanimation1.zip if you want to keep it and make sure you got the permissions set to rw- r-- r-- on the new bootanination.zip
