I have a HTC Desire HD with stock rom,
Android version 2.2. It has been rooted and S-off, all the apps works perfectly. Though by following the instructions below but I cannot seem to change the bootanimation.
1) Enter the adb directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools)
2) open the command window
3) type in "adb devices" to confirm weather your android device is connected
4) type
"adb shell
$su
$mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
$cd /system/customize/resource
$mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.bak
$exit"
5) exit from shell
6) adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/
7) Reeboot !
I am able to successfully push the bootanimation.zip file but whenever I restart my phone I still get the default animation on my phone.

well one my friend have problem with his HTC Tattoo while he was trying to delete a font from font folder he accidentally deleted the FONT FOLDER now his phone is not working...
is there anyway to fix this problem ?
I suppose that usb connection works, so he can push them to device via adb.
Here is the fonts folder.
Or he can use Android commander: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628138 to push them in system with an easier way.
can u pls explain how i can do it via ADB ?
Sorry, I'm not a linux expert and I don't know exactly which commands you must give. For this I suggested Android commander, cause you can drag & drop the folder to device's system folder like you do in windows file explorer.
You can also push the folder along with files with the Android SDK... It's easier as it is GUI based...

1. Unpack the zip file into a folder
2. Connect Tattoo via USB, start recovery, open a terminal and type adb start-server
3. cd into the fontfolder: cd fontfolder
3. PATH\TO\adb push . /system/fonts (please note the DOT!!!! sign)
You're done.
What prob with my tattoo?
I used root1click tool
And I installed Enable Market >>>>> My phone's rooted
but when I try to push font in /system/fonts
ADB say : Permission Denied
Please Help
You need to remount the filesystem with the read-write permission.
Before typing "PATH\TO\adb push . /system/fonts" you need to execute "PATH\TO\adb remount"
I tried
adb remount
adb say:
remount failed: operation not permitted
what prob?
If you type
adb shell
Do you see a # or a $ ? (if you see a $ something has gone wrong with the root)
I believe you cannot remount via adb with stock (didn't try)...install Root Explorer and then try to remount from phone side (there is a button on the upper side saying: Mount RW)
Else do it manually and open adb shell and type:
1. su
2. insmod /data/local/bin/tattoo-hack.ko
3. mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
4. mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
These steps worked for me everytime when pushing a new boot animation
**Stay booted into your ROM, no need to boot into RECOVERY**
Make sure dev is enabled under Settings>Applications
Then run SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse
Download the Android SDK and place on your C:\
Rename folder to Android
1. Copy the NEW bootanimation.zip of your choice in SDK Folder
2. Open up CMD
3. cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools (or were ever you SDK files are, in v10 tools is called platform-tools)
4. adb remount
The filesystem is mounted read only. You need to mount it read/write.
5. adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
6. adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
7. adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
To return to read only,
8. adb shell mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
9. Reboot and there you go (adb reboot)
Steps above found @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-736412.html
I pushed the new honeycomb boot animation attached to this post, it came from the Phoenix Ultimate ROM, im lovin it!

CHANGING AT&T BOOT LOGO!!!! (INITIAL STATIC SCREEN)
This replaces the AT&T boot logo static that is displayed with a customized logo.
Download the attachment file logo_ATNT.jpg This is what your AT&T boot logo is gonna be.. You can edit this, add your own.. But make sure that the name stays the same.
Using ADB tools from PC,
1. Put your logo_ATNT.jpg in the folder where adb.exe exists.
2. In command prompt, adb devices to make sure your phone is connected.
3. adb push logo_ATNT.jpg /mnt/.lfs
4. adb reboot
AND THAT'S IT!! You'll now have your own customized AT&T logo on your phone!!!

I have searched but haven't been able to find a solution to my problem.
I am on the latest CM9 nightly and I have installed ADB on my Windows 7 64bit computer and it seems to be working but when I try and use the 'push' command, I get this "C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb push Trebuchet.apk /system/app
failed to copy 'Trebuchet.apk' to '/system/app/Trebuchet.apk' : Read-only file system"
I have tried the 'Remount' command, but that just throws back "Remount failed: Operation not permitted"
Any help is much appreciated.
You need to change permissions on the system folder
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb remount
then
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb push Trebuchet.apk /system/app
Didn't see that you had tried this !!
if you have root explorer or such navigate to system directory and change permissions to r/w...
otherwise...
adb shell
su
#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3
Thank you for the help, however it still isn't working. I used the commands;
adb shell
su
#mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3
and it didn't throw me an error, but then when I tried to push the Trebuchet.apk it says the say as before. "failed to copy 'Trebuchet.apk' to '/system/app/Trebuchet.apk' : Read-only file system" "
Try
adb root
It could also be your version of busybox...
running out of ideas but one more...
Actually try this reboot into recovery (I presume you have some type installed), if you have an option to 'mount system' select it and then push the file...
Sent using my fingers and some technology from my HD2
Thank for your help! In the end it was my bad.
I didn't realise that on CM9 nightlies you have to go to Settings > Developer Options > Root Access > Apps and ADB.

Sorry if this is posted already but ii couldnt find it anywhere.
ok so i was kinda dumb when i uninstalled the stock moto blur homescreen. is there a way to install the app back into the system folder so its back where it was? rooted droid 4 verizon. thanks for the help.
Download the homescreen.apk (attached file has link) and put the apk into the same location as adb.
Turn on your phone and plug it into your computer.
Using adb(a how-to is in the attached file as well):
Code:
> adb devices
> adb push homescreen.apk /tmp/
> adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/system /system
# cp /tmp/homescreen.apk /system/app/
Make sure your device displays after running "adb device" (long string of numbers and characters followed by device).
After the last line, wait a few moments and the homescreen should appear. =)

Is it still possible to root my original droid (running 2.2.3)? Baseband version C_.1.43.1P , kernel 2.6.32.9
I checked many threads but most of the download links of apk or other app are dead.
I really need to root this phone, if somebody has instructions and files, I would really appreciate it.
So I found this working root method from some other forum, sharing in case anyone needs it, I doubt it though
Go to settings on your phone
then applications
then development
check the box for usb debugging[/Hide]
2.) Extract rageagainstthecage.zip to c:\droidroot
3.) Connect your phone to the computer via usb cable
4.) on the computer open the command prompt. (In the start menu under accessories)
5.) cd to your adb tools directory. For most the command would look like this cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
6.) adb devices (This should list a device as a long number under list of devices. If it doesnt something is wrong.)
7.) adb push c:\droidroot\rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp
8.) adb shell
9.) cd /data/local/tmp
10.) chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
11.) ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin (This can take a minutes just let it go until you are returned to your adb tools folder)
12.) adb devices
13.) adb shell (you should now see a # instead of a $)
14.) mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
15.) exit
16.) adb push c:\droidroot\Superuser.apk /system/app
17.) adb push c:\droidroot\su /system/bin
18.) adb push c:\droidroot\busybox /system/bin
19.) adb shell
20.) chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
21.) chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
22.) mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.disabled Note if you are on a build earlier than froyo this step will fail. That is fine and expected.
23.) mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
24.) rm /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
25.) exit
