• Find where you save the file and copy or cut it and paste it in "/data/local". (It must be named "bootanimation.zip" without the quotes.)
• Now change the permissions to "rwxr-xr-x" without the quotes. If you're Root Browser, long press the file until a menu pops up and then select "Permissions". Now check "Read", "Write", and "Execute" in the Owner row. Next check "Read" and "Execute" in the Group row. Finally check "Read" and "Execute" in the Others row.

If it doesn't work, you may put it in "/system/media" instead in step 3. It will ask you if you want to overwrite, do so. It should work now, however if you flash new rom or an update to a rom, this will be overwritten. Just repeat steps 1-4.
