- Rename the original zip file to something else and copy the boot animation file that you downloaded to this location.
- Rename the downloaded file’s name to bootanimation.zip if it is not named like that.
- Now long press and go to the permissions of the file. There will be three properties User, Group, and Other.
- Here tick the R, W, and X on User. Then, tick the R on Group and Other boxes.
- Save the changes you have made and restart the device.
