Did you get it fixed ? If not what device do you have and what animation are you trying to use ?

gave the bootanimation zip a whirl ( why not ) and got the same thing
The original boot happens as usual on reboot

Not sure what the problem is maybe a bad download. Try grabbing it again and flash like normal. If it doesnt work extract the zip and copy the two files in the system folder to system/bin. Then fix perms.

much thanks for promptness
re-dnld / re-flash / same result
manual extract / copy / re-perm , now I have a change
samsung 'swirl' is gone , and have simple blank/black screen instead
continues on as normal to lock screen
Assuming there simply are not any animations to show ...
So I tried the Boot Animations Root app , but that didn't insert any boot splash

Noticed that the app did not put a file 'bootanimation.zip' into '/system/media/ ' as directed
It updated a 'bootanimation' in it's app cache tho
You need a bootanimation.zip in /system/media then it will show it. I see you have one in /data/media just move it.

The directions state to manually change the Boot Animations Root install directory to /system/media/ before downloading any bootanimations. Watch the youtube vid
A couple of original and/or recently adapted animations here :

I added a link to your thread on my bootanimation thread as well..
I hope it's a good idea, since I suspect there will be users that will mix methods, if you get what I mean ....

Works great on my Galaxy S III running Serenity (based of a GNote JB ROM I think). I use ROM Toolbox Pro to get my boot animations.
For those who are getting Status 0 errors in CWM, just replace the update-binary in Bootanimation4U.zip with another from a zip that works with your phone...

220This will add the ability to use a custom bootanimation on any rom with any kernel and probably any samsung device.
It has been tested on the Note II but should work with any samsung device that uses samsungani to load boot animations. If it doesn't work for you please post here.
Uses the typical settings bootanimation is at /system/media/bootanimation.zip, this is for those using a stock rom or a rom the dev didn't add it in.
I included the Google Gears bootanimation too. Flash the file in recovery. The attachment is a flashable zip not bootanimation.zip.
The updater-script uses busybox to mount the partitions, so if it doesn't flash correctly install busybox from an app on the play store then try again.
Edited the attachment, now includes the bootanimation binary just in case in bootanimation4u.zip, there is also another one named Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only that only edits samsungani.
If /system/bin/bootanimation exists flash the Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only.zip
How to use:
Add bootanimation.zip to /system/media
Flash Bootanimation4U.zip in recovery
If you want sound add an ogg file named PowerOn.ogg to /system/media/audio/ui, if sound doesn't work be sure /system/bin/samsungpowersoundplay exists if its there it will play sound if not its not included in your rom download it HERE then put it where it belongs and fix the perms which should be rwxr-xr-x
Reboot...Enjoy
Here is a method to get some bootanimations thanks to ReelFiles:
This mod is CleanROM 4.0 compatible !!
If you use/like it don't forget to hit thanks and rate the thread !!5hi OP,
why didnt you just use my flashzips?

check post #4 especially..
ive checked out your flash file, and you made it extracting the files, which isnt that good..
and here is why:
the files youve packed down that is extracted can work on many devices, but you can come to point where it wont..
because of the fileversion.. the first flashzip ive made was with the same method, but then there was some base update for my android, and then it didnt work.. also, if google does some improvements to the file, then the users wont be getting those, as they will be stock with the ones youre providing.. just saying..
well, ive made 2 flash files, one for enable and one for disable.. the enable zip uses commands to copy a backup (just in case sh*t goes wrong), copy bootanimation file to samsungani.. and the disable zip copies back the backup file to samsungani.. and the only thing required for this to work is busybox..
that way you, and the users, will have the most current fileversion, and is guaranteed to work for their particular device..
and my flash zips are reported to be working on the note2 as well, and other devices too..5Awesome!
1. Make a backup just in case.
2. Flash bootanimation4u.zip from recovery (I use TWRP).
3. Reboot and install Boot Animations Root from the Play Store.
4. Go into the app's preferences and change install location to /system/media/ and leave the default filename (bootanimation.zip) and go back to the main screen.
5. Select any bootanimation from the Server tab and hit Install. (Tablet ones at the bottom of the list look best.)
6. Select the installed bootanimation again and hit Resize. Set it to 720x1280 30FPS.
7. Tap the options key and select Preview current. Make sure you like it and reboot.
I use the Tablet - Shatter one, it looks like the one from the Jedi Roms, but higher quality.
If you preview a few different ones and then decide to use one you downloaded earlier, delete it first then install and resize it again, or the preview will just be a black screen and might not work at all.
I believe you can preview before installing the animation if you buy the Pro version.3
Yes flash the bootanimation4u then flash gears bootanim right after.
