Worked for me.

Instructions for one xxx rls 3:
Download the above file and rename to vzw_qhd_bootanimation.zip. using root explorer find the current bootanimation file named "vzw_qhd_bootanimation.zip" and rename it to "vzw_qhd_bootanimation.bak" and than copy paste the file you downloaded and renamed to system/customize/resource. Reboot and enjoy your quietly rooted HTC device.

Cool Animation!

But...I must be blind because I cannot find the boot animation file to replace. Tried doing a search and I don't find vzw_qhd_bootanimation.zip. Also running one xxx rls3. But running Zones Blue theme, does that make a difference?

Thanks...

He may have moved and/or changed the name. Search for Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip.

Also look in /system/media.

Hey thanks for the tips. I searched for Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip on both internal storage and sd card and nothing comes up. I also don't have a /system folder.

Another note, I also have Show hidden files, folders or drives ticked in folder options on my PC.

Is there anywhere else I can look?

Its not located on the internal or external storage. It's on the phone itself which you can't see from the PC without using adb. You need to use a root file explorer on your phone itself. ES File Explorer is free and can be granted root access. Then you'll see your system folder.

Ohhh OK thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I found the /system folder however I still cannot find the boot animation zip:confused:

I searched for Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip and even just bootanimation.zip and still came up with nothing. I must be doing something wrong here.

Thanks for the help

EDIT: so i found a VZW_qhd_bootanimation.zip
This must be it!

    This will work on any rom. Just have to make sure you know where your boot animation is and rename the file to match.

    It won't let me download. Is the link still valid? Thanks

    Every single file I have on mediafire is doing that. I have no idea what's going. I have submitted a support ticket so hopefully I hear something back soon.
