Root how do i get start up animation back to stock

Thread moved to "all things root"
Thanks for understanding :)
To answer your question you will need the original boot animation(zip file)
Use a root file broswer(root explorer)
Place it in system/media
If i am incorrect please feel free to correct me as i dont own this device
Hope this helps :)

alarms
notifications
ringtones
ui

it depends on weather or not he is stock or not. If stock, it's under /hidden/boot animation or whatever. If he's not stock, it should be under/system/media/bootanimation.zip. And under gingerbread you can also use /date/local/bootanimation.zip
Post back if you still need help.

For some reason the stock ROM won't boot without the boot sound. What you can do is replace the boot sound with an mp3 that is silent, it just needs to be named the same. What I did was renamed the old one so it will there of I wanted to revert back to it and took a song i like and copied it while changing the name.
