Use lsattr and chattr in order to remove immutable flag.

Try reroot do all things over again maybe it will work... Or use an other manager when placing files like that... And make sure you set correct permissions

Hmm weird... In what way doesnt it let you change permissions? Like it fails or cant get root acces? And how about other files, if it doesnt allow you to change any permissions.

Sounds like you need to mount the system partition. Unfortunately I have no idea what the command is (you need to use Terminal Emulator), because I only use ADB and my computer.

I'm not sure about Regaw mod, but I thought that it had SU Permissions app installed...if your file manager isn't getting root access, that could be the problem (sounds like it to me anyway). You can either follow the ADB instructions, or install Estrong...
yeah, SUFBS doesn't let me delete anything from the phone... weird.... all the icons show with a "lock" symbol on it.

Right. I did that in evil Eris 2.0 and it has a background picture rather than being transparent. I'm trying to locate the .png it is loading so I cam change it to a transparent one.

no one has figured out how to make it transparent again, i read it was being looked into. i prefer the background as it doesnt conflict with my htc clock on the home screen.

Using rootexporer, just open the folder you want to remove the apk, at the very top, you will see it says mounted as r/o and then a button that says mount R/W. Hit that button. Now you can remove/edit files in that dir.
Piece of advice. If you are truly interested in learning your phone, look into adb commands. There are a few programs listed on this forum that do it for you or you can learn the commands yourself and just enter them via cmd line.
This will only work if your phone is rooted correct? Won't work on nonrooted or leak v3?

Yeah, after doing some research it does turn out you have to be rooted. I'm trying to adb my phone now and keep getting blocked out.
You have to root first.
does anybody know why if i try installing some apk, it says "application not installed?
maybe you have install other version of the apps and what you are installing is a downgrade version of the apps

This happens if it is not signed properly. Use apk manager to extract apk then delete the folder META-INF . Then zip it and sign it.. then try to install this file.. installing via adb is better..

You used file explorer to check out your /system/media folder right? which one? But if you delete something there it not supposed to be there if you have correct rw permission there. I first think that it could be problem with bootanimation you try to install but if you can't delete something there for good I guess first look at your permission to write that folder.

I tried many and different bootanimations not just one and with different ways. I'm rooted and I use the root browser and the permissions are right.

Root again. Use "Easy Root Tool". If it stuck cleaning part just run it again and you should be good.
I was trying to change Xperia S bootanimation last year. Ending up to find that problem is much deeper then basic root and root explorer.
Didn't find the way how to apply custom one.
As I remember is somehow connected with bootloader or kernel

Don't know about Xperia S but with Z1 I can change bootanimation. I use X-plore by Lonely Cat Games with r/w rights and have zero problems.
I would suggest you do not have root.
Check if you have killed the ric.
Goto sys/kernel/security/Sony_ric and see if the file called enable says 0 or 1. Also check it just after a reboot.
If it's a 1 you will lose write permissions to the system partition after a reboot, which explains the symptoms you are talking about.
Changing the boot animation had nothing to do with kernel or bootloader, you just have to change the bootamimation.zip in system /media
