Hi all,
I've rooted my Galaxy S4 i9515 and then I tried to replace bootanimation.zip with Root Browser and I've committed a huge mistake: I have setted "system" folder write permission from this app and then my device has shutted down. I've tried to reboot it but it goes always to recovery. What should I do?
(Sorry for my bad english).

I assume that you did not take the standard, sensible, step of making a nandroid backup before trying any changes to your phone's operating system. Therefore, you will need to download and flash the stock Samsung firmware to your phone, using Odin as per #1.5 of 29 Galaxy S4 models - know yours? This will unroot you and return you to stock Samsung firmware.
 
I've solved installing with adb sideload the twrp recovery, which I did a full wipe with. Then I've installed Lineage OS 14.1 (with relative gapps) from sd card.
 
Witch OS did u installed from 14.1 is it on the kinage os website?
