A reversible Magisk module that replaces the US Cellular startup animation on the rooted TCL 4058L / TCL Flip 2 with the stock, unbranded TCL animation captured from a TCL 4058G.
The module overlays:
/product/media/bootanimation.zip
with the unbranded animation at:
system/product/media/bootanimation.zip
It does not modify the physical /product partition, the MediaTek logo partition, shutdown animation, charging graphics, launcher, or telephony configuration.

| Animation source | TCL 4058G | Gflip6_NA_OM |

Both devices use a 240×320 display. The source animation is 240×320 at 30 fps and contains only TCL branding.
- Rooted TCL 4058L / TCL Flip 2
- Magisk 30.7 or compatible
- A complete backup before changing boot-time assets
- Download
tcl-unbranded-bootanimation-magisk-v1.0.0.zipfrom the v1.0.0 release. - Open Magisk → Modules → Install from storage.
- Select the ZIP and reboot.
- Watch the first reboot physically; ADB is unavailable during the early animation.
adb push tcl-unbranded-bootanimation-magisk-v1.0.0.zip /data/local/tmp/
adb shell su -c 'magisk --install-module /data/local/tmp/tcl-unbranded-bootanimation-magisk-v1.0.0.zip'
adb rebootAfter Android finishes booting:
adb shell su -c 'sha256sum /product/media/bootanimation.zip'Expected active animation digest:
dc95c9372c15785ea7bf4884a638de21b4eb62bc22457f5c7d50a5209767c025
Then verify ADB, root, launcher, and normal telephony/SIM state.
In the Magisk app, disable or remove TCL Unbranded Boot Animation, then reboot. The untouched US Cellular firmware animation becomes active again.
Emergency command-line disable:
adb shell su -c 'touch /data/adb/modules/tcl_unbranded_bootanimation/disable'
adb rebootOn the tested 4058L firmware, /product is an ext4 device-mapper partition mounted read-only with dm-verity enforcing. Its boot-animation library searches /product, /oem, /system, and APEX locations; it does not include the traditional writable /data/local/bootanimation.zip override.
A direct replacement would therefore require rebuilding or remounting/flashing verified firmware partitions. That can survive without Magisk, but it is substantially more invasive and harder to roll back. Magisk overlays one file during boot while leaving the original partition bytes untouched.

The ZIP entries in the Android animation are stored without compression, as required by this firmware's boot-animation implementation.
The source animation was captured read-only from the 4058G, visually inspected frame-by-frame, and structurally verified. The module installed successfully on the target 4058L and staged the exact verified payload. Post-reboot ADB verification was pending because the phone requested USB-debugging authorization again; visually confirm the animation and re-authorize ADB before relying on command-line health checks.
