Unable to flash custom bootscreen

---

Hi I downloaded this android peeing on Apple logo bootscreen, it installed well so I got too excited and wanted to put tux hammering the Windows logo before android pee on the Apple, I made all 70 png's but did not touch anything either than creating the images. I then zipped them according to the original names but when I flash it I get ..... E: wrong digest, system/media/bootanimation.zip

I have tried several times but no luck, yet the original one would easy install. Help guys

Sent from my HTC Hero VillainRom 12, flykernel11 using XDA App

any idea someone

You probably need to sign the update zip, possibly change the install/flash location. Upload what you have in a zip and I'll make one for ya

Edit: and explain what I did

Too bad everyone doesn't do that.

I have decided to change the part1 folder images with custom ones, I will upload the whole zip later so when you help me I won't have to re edit it again, thanx for your replies

Apologies as this is long overdue. Finally had some free time this weekend


Attached are both the working bootscreen AND the original for those who want to see what was changed between the two.
Edit: added the non-signed bootscreen.zip for reference as well. Never know who may want to look at it.

Setup

1. Extracted the zip (original_doesntflash.zip) into its own directory
2. Created the META-INF folder
3. Deleted the CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, and MANIFEST.MF files
4. Created the "com" folder inside META-INF
5. Inside the "com" folder I created another folder named "google"
6. Inside "google" create a folder named "android" <- forgot about this step
7. Inside there I placed the "update-script" (if you want to know how to make one of these by hand refer to my post HERE)
8. Added both folders (META-INF and system) to a zip - in this case named it "bootscreen.zip"

Signing The Zip
I'm running linux currently so I do it slightly different, but I'm assuming the majority of you guys and gals are windows users. If that's the case follow these directions:

1. Go HERE and download AvaboxV2
2. Extract the AvaboxV2.zip where you want it. Personally I'd made a separate AvaboxV2 folder in my AndroidSDK dir. But the desktop still will work
3. Copy the newly created zip (bootscreen.zip) into the "Auto-Sign" folder found in AvaboxV2
4. As per the README.txt:
   • Start a cmd prompt AS ADMINISTRATOR (not really needed if running Win7)
   • cd <to the directory of the Auto-Sign folder> [Example: cd C:\AndroidSDK\AvaboxV2\Auto-sign]
   • java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 bootscreen.zip bootscreen_signed.zip <- same command as used in linux, at least for me
   • Press enter...wait...wait...done

Congratulations you now have a working/flashable bootscreen zip

thanks mate I will download it today, thanks for the tutorial man its highly appreciative, thanks a lot
