Help with font change

Hello,
I got my Ramos W7 two days ago and i'm frustrated...
i want to change the font to Hebrew font (i have them) but from some reason i can't...
i've flashed a rooted version which i found on some Chinese site and i have root access, and i've installed android sdk on my computer and installed the device drivers.
now i'm going into dos, and running those lines:
Code:
cd c:/AndroidSDK/tools/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
and when i'm running this line:
cat /sdcard/DroidSans-Bold.ttf > /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf
i get this error:
can't create /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf: read-only file system

No way here... It doesn't fuction... There is a problem in the batch file:
Code:
@echo off
echo µÈ´ýÉ豸
adb wait-for-device
echo »ñµÃrootȨÏÞ
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
adb shell "chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin"
adb shell "./data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin & sleep 300;kill $!"
echo ÖØÐÂÁ¬½ÓÉ豸£¬¿ÉÄÜÐèÒªÒ»¶Îʱ¼ä

echo Íê³Éroot£¬ÇëÖØÆôÊÖ»ú

(ping 127.0.0.1 -n %1 -w 1000 > NUL)> sleep.txt
del sleep.txt
You have to push su in bin directory non in app directory...
Code:
[B]adb push su /system/app/su[/B]
Please correct this bug.
I've also tried to upload any file thought adb (after r/w mount), but the phone doesn't recognize the apk's (Superuser and Recovery), they still invisible...
Any solution?

Well done, i did it this:
- Downloaded your 2.21boot.zip;
- Flashed thought RSD;
- Downloaded Android SDK with ADB;
- Download this Rootpack http://www.mediafire.com/?kjee8aj22j9m5zj;
- Extract this files in you /sdk/tools directory;
- Open cmd and point it in the directory with ADB;
- Run this commands:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
adb push su /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
adb shell mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
adb reboot

Thank you for Your Bug Report.

Is there any way now to flash back to an older SBF?

fixed recovery.exe = its not working , root exe not found windows warning

batch reply "root.exe not found" after double click the defy_recovery.exe
also, from above reply:
"mount: Operation not permitted"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I found out the way to get this rooting working.
everything stays the same until running the recovery.exe part
then please refer to the old rooting method
BUT using the rooting pack mentioned above link
then flash back to 2.51
it should work!
cheers!

sorry sir,
About the root process, Why different with "http://bbs.goapk.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=48445&extra=%26page%3D1&page=1" ??
In goapk forum, the process2-> flash the original SBF? process3->Wipe data?
no need ?

this will work on HK TW SG version 2.51

can we have any details about the rooting process ?
i want to get the Taiwan version of the Defy (Blurless)
1) is there any way to get root access, but still use the firmware that came with the phone ? (TW SG HK 2.51) i wouldn't mind doing some stuff manually...
2) As far as i know the original ROM of the Taiwan SG HK defy isn't available for download right ?
thanks for your hard work.

tenfar, thank you very much for your great work, I just rooted my HK DEFY.
Here are few steps added for those like me very new to Android and Root.
1. If you RSD Lite did not recognize your DEFY, download the USB driver here:
http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/
2. Power off DEFY. Then press 'Volume Up' and 'Power' together to boot to loader before you flash the SBF to your DEFY.
Happy rooting.

Thanks
Now I finished my HK defy rooted.
Very thanks for tenfar.

rooting wit Uk 2.51 possible..not other ROM flashable
hi Guys.....i have installed the UK JRDNEM_U3_2.51....and the root method desribed here worked too...
My question is: What happens after
- rooting the Uk U3_25.1 with our method (Sytem.boot.only 2.1 2.5 etc.)
- Restore system with SystemRecovery-App "Recovery Boot"
- i restored with a backup of t-mobile U3_2.21 (from my friend)
-worked
??
Build Number ist U3_2.21.0 now
Did I downgraded my system now?
If yes,
the Problem is then:
I cannot flash any ROM (RSD 4.9) from here http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
except the JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_BLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB02C.0R_USAJORDANRTGB_P035_A011_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
Therefore I dont believe i downgraded anything :-mad:
The flash-procedure with all other ROMs is the same:
RSD : finished --> Defy is not booting is hanging in the bootLoader-mode
Any Help?
Or anyone with a Vodafone 360 Original Backup that would be great
Thanks

INT2EXT

i want to use INT2EXT in cm9 i followed this tutorial
xpmode said:
INT2EXT+ INSTALLATION TUTORIAL
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE S2E, LINK2SD OR SIMILAR, YOU MUST REPARTITION SD CARD AND FACTORY WIPE
int2ext+ is a relatively new script that instead of making symbolic links(Link2SD) or moving certain partitions(S2E) to sd, extends your internal storage into your ext partition in sd, which means S2E's potential space saving and Link2SD's stability combined together and gives you something to brag about.
PREPARATIONS
Download the latest build of CyanogenMod 9.
Download the latest version of CronMod INT2EXT+ here.
Open CyanogenMod 9 zip.
Navigate to /system/etc/init.d
Open INT2EXT+ zip.
Navigate to /system/etc/init.d
Add the file called 40int2ext in the /system/etc/init.d directory in CM9 zip.
INSTALLATION
Go to recovery, do factory reset and advanced > partition sd card.
Select 1024M for ext(for some reason, I selected 4096 and it only read the first 1GB-ish) and 0M for swap.
Wait until it says Done and goes to menu.
Go to Mounts and Storage.
Select USB storage and connect your phone to your computer.
Copy your modified CM9 zip file to the root of your sd.
Select unmount.
Reflash ROM.
Reboot.
After reboot, go to settings > developer settings > root access and select Apps and ADB.
Go to your adb directory and do adb shell.
Type su.
Then do:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/etc/init.d
chmod 644 00banner
chmod 644 90userinit
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Reboot.
After reboot, reboot into recovery and flash gapps.zip normally.
Then go to Applications and enjoy your new, extended internal storage.

can someone help me how to do adb shell and go to adb directory

Use the directory that you used to root your device.

Err, now that's funny. To do adb shell, all you have to do is put in the command adb shell
Isn't that funny? xD
What the guide meant for adb directory is the place where the adb.exe file is kept.
So all you have to do is put in cmd:
adb shell
and while you're in shell you just put in those commands:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/etc/init.d
chmod 644 00banner
chmod 644 90userinit
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
After that to close the terminal, type in:
exit
then adb reboot
Hope that helps =)

Hmmm, you don't need adb for this. Just use terminal emulator on your phone. It comes installed by default on CM9 roms. Or you can search play store for android terminal emulator. The app is by Jack Palevich
Code:
su
mount -rwo remount /system
cd /system/etc/init.d
chmod 644 00banner
chmod 644 90userinit
mount -ro remount /system
Then again, I don't really see why it is necessary to deny execute permissions to these scripts in first place. They are just empty shells - unless they have been modified.
I'm using int2ext4 right now and never really had to...
EDIT: If you want to reverse these changes then
Code:
su
mount -rwo remount /system
chmod -R 755 /system/etc/init.d
mount -ro remount /system

As of link2sd it uses installrecovery.sh file in /system/etc to mount sd-ext partition. It then moves apps/data/dalvik-cache to sd-ext and places symlinks at the original locations.
Take a look here where i've explained why symlink based apps/scripts should not be used on HTC explorer.
Hit thanks if i helped!:good::good:
