Install RootExplorer and simple replace the bootanimation.zip, located in /Data/Local/
Make sure you allows superuser access and mount r/w.

(Install RootExplorer and simple replace the bootanimation.zip, located in /Data/Local/

what means R/W. i dont understand. and if it allows me to replace it to another bootscreen zip if it will does that mean that i have success! does it_


i dont have rooted phone or anything, i just bought it from store my DHD. and its 1.32 version something with froyo.

R/W means Read / Write Access - Which is basically the ability to make changes.

You will need to root your phone to change the boot animation though.

Check the Desire HD Development section for some great guides on how it's done. Luckily you have 1.32 so you won't need to downgrade 1st. Just be sure to read everything 2 or 3 times so it's clear in your mind

I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076

Ask any questions about it in that thread to keep everything together.

if i use root explorer, do i have to root my phone? to change bootscreen?

heres the program to try it with! rootexplorer 2.10.apk

i do not have rooted phone, but is it possible via this program to change da bootscreen by simply replacing da file

Warez ? RootExplorer is a paid app, and u are sharing it!

You can install pretty much any app on your phone, but if it requires root access then the task you want it to perform will fail when the app requests root permissions. So Root Explorer might install and open ok, but you wont be able to do anything with.

Just go ahead root it, then you're free to do whatever you want. I just rooted a friends DHD today and it only took around 15-20 minutes, and most of that was waiting for it to back-up or reboot.

Also, you might want to remove the RootExplorer attachment, might get you into trouble from the mods
