Changing Boot Animation over adb on Android Things

Posted on by

You’ll need to install and setup adb and then run the following commands. Change ipaddress to the ip address of the device running Android Things

adb connect ipaddress
adb root
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/
adb reboot

bootanimation.zip will either need to be in the same directory as adb, or you can specify the path. For example if it is located on your Desktop you can use

For Windows

adb push \Users\username\Desktop\bootanimation.zip /system/media/

on Linux or MacOS

adb push ~/Desktop/bootanimation.zip /system/media/

and under IPADDR set it to the new IP. Update netmask and gateway if needed.

Save file and restart network

systemctl restart network

Update License

You may need to run the following to update the license on the server.

/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt

Change Server IP in WebHost Manager

Change IP for server in Basic WebHost Manager Setup

Other things to do

You may need to migrate IP’s to the new address.
If you are keeping the old address on the server, then you may need to readd it through the IP Functions.

WHM/cPanel – Works from some networks and not others.

Had a problem with a WHM/cPanel server where it was working fine from a couple different networks, but then would not work on others. The server itself seemed fine and fully operational.

Checked firewall rules on routers, server, checked IP routes, tried disabling cPHulk. Ended up being there were a couple addresses added with the incorrect subnet mask which was keeping it from working. Removed the IP’s with the wrong subnet and it started working on all networks.

[root@host ~]# ifconfig
eth0: flags=4163 mtu 1500
  inet 192.168.1.70 netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast 192.168.1.95
  inet6 7f80::4588:523f:a697:c311 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20
  ether 4b:02:de:0d:cf:1a txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
  RX packets 171071 bytes 83556877 (79.6 MiB)
  RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
  TX packets 163710 bytes 76482245 (72.9 MiB)
  TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

eth0:cp1: flags=4163 mtu 1500
  inet 192.168.1.74 netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast 192.168.1.95
  ether 4b:02:de:0d:cf:1a txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)

eth0:cp6: flags=4163 mtu 1500
  inet 192.168.1.75 netmask 255.255.224.0 broadcast 23.145.159.255
  ether 4b:02:de:0d:cf:1a txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
…

[root@host ~]#

Under eth0:cp6 the IP has a 255.255.224.0 subnet which is incorrect. Should have been a 255.255.255.224 (/27) subnet.

Removed the IP out of WHM and then readded with the correct subnet mask and it now works.

Make sure you add and IP with the correct subnet
