Thanks ill give it a go No go on it and dont want to mess around with other method. thanks for trying. still get the purple honeycomb esc type things. but it pushed something so i dont know what I did lol
My guess is it copied the bootanimation.zip file to a folder that the kernel does not look at. You should be fine. Method B really is a solid way to copy boot animations from the sdcard to the correct folder. When you are comfortable give it a go.
