Place the .zip on your sdcard

Rename the file bootanimation.zip

Open terminal emulator app on your droid and type in these commands

First line is just two letters

su

Then hit enter... that gives you superuser permission on terminal emulator... you can see the command prompt turn red

Second line enter this string

cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/

There are two spaces in that command... like this
cp(space)/sdcard/bootanimation.zip(space)/data/local/

Hit enter.... third command is this

reboot

Hit enter and watch it work

Make sure the bootanimation file is not in any folder on the sdcard... it should be it's own standing sdcard file... and don't unzip it

I noticed you just used capital letters... terminal emulator is all lower case... maybe that's it??

Are we all talking about the same terminal emulator??

It's called

Android Terminal Emulator.... in the marketplace
Jack Palevich

There's one that's just called "terminal emulator"
I heard it sucks and doesn't follow the same rules

typed everything EXACTLY as proscribed; keep getting the response "cp: cannot stat 'sdcard/bootanimation.zip': no such file or directory

everything is spelled exactly as it is supposed to be; what am I doing wrong?
