I changed font name and got bootloop.
Is there way to just access system/fonts and rename bad font or copy my backu font folder to system?
I read what to do during bootloop but there is no info how to access files and fix it without flashing new rom again.
Can you adb?

I am trying but SDK manager can't run - I get black splash and nothing more. I am trying to figure it out.
Nevermind, adb is waste of time. Are there GUI tools for such case?

Just google stuff and you will find your answer. If you can adb to your device, then it is easy to delete the files you want.
Goto CWM recovery mod
connect phone to pc
Unmount the sd card
now u can read or write in sd card from pc
if u are wondering how to get accces of internal memory sorry im a noob
Thanks for help - however I was unable to run abd.
In CWM I couldn't hmm copy fonts from external SD to the system/fonts so I decided to re-flash whole ROM.
This time using CWM I made backup of whole phone (there is nice option for this) just in case.
I am only wondering why changing font's name made phone bootlooped :|

NEW METHOD USING SIGNED ZIP THANKS TO nebenezer
Download signed zip to sd and flash with recovery
Signed zip is in download section below.
NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE GALAXY TAB AS WELL, THANKS TO nobleskill
Link to Galaxy Tab thread here
OLD METHOD:
To install...
extract the zip file
reboot into recovery using rom manager
In the partitions menu select mount /system (or if using other recovery then manually mount /system through adb)
Code:
adb push [path to extracted bootanimation.zip] /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
adb push [path to extracted SPC_animation_final.mp3] /system/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3
adb reboot
I use this on my own phone and love it.... I am happy to answer questions about installation if they come up, but feel the need to post the usual disclaimer of.... while there is no reason this should do anything negative to your phone as long as you follow the directions, should you brick your phone or cause your phone to act goofy, or drop your phone in the toilet, neither the lcars custom boot animation or myself are in any way shape or form responcible for it. If you don't like that then don't download it.
EDIT: Screen Shots as requested
Had to attach because i'm apperently not verified to post images
Can we get some screenshots?
works amazing and i can rub it in all my star wars fans faces
Oh I love it thank you.
These are probably noob questions.
Does this need root? Do I unzip to the root of the memory card? I'm going to guess a rom manager does need root. Is the code only for adb and not if you have rom manager?

Yes you need root because you have to write to the /system partition.
It is easiest to do with ROM Manager's recovery which is why i gave instructions for that.
You extract the zip to your computer and use adb to push to the phone in the correct location.

Nothing.
Dariuas,
Sounds like the system partition is not mounted...

this is covered in the ROM Manager Menu which it sounds like you're not using so if you add
Code:
adb shell mount /system
once in recovery but before the file pushes you should be fine
Outstanding, it works. Now if I want to undo it? :O

I don't use a mac, nor do i have any access to a mac... however since the android SDK is what gives you access to ADB and there is an Android SDK for mac... i'm assuming that you can do this by following the same steps using the android sdk for mac which you can get:

Great job man, just pushed it to my Evo and its workin great. Thanks.
Pushed bootanimation.zip to Nexus One and it also works fine there.
This is SOOOOOOO awesome! Any chance of this becoming a theme?

With some help I figured out how to do this last night pm me and I think i could get things working for you.
Flashed it and it's way awesome - I'd prefer it with no audio though. Can I just push a different mp3 or an empty file of the same name as the mp3?
I was able to use the 'adb' from the SDK tools folder on my previous DInc, but Verizon sent me a new one because of a camera problem with the old. Now when I try to open the 'adb' application the black screen flashes up with a ton of stuff on there & then quickly flashes off the computer screen. I have my phone in Disk Drive mode & the USB Debugging option is selected. I'm able to take screen shots, but I can't get 'adb' to open in order to push through boot animations or whatever else I might use it for.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I deleted the SDK folder, then re-downloaded & installed it again on my computer. Still no luck.
I think you're referring to adb.exe in the tools folder, which is not what is used. You need to open Window's Command Prompt.
also take it off disk drive mode so you can push to the sd card.
cool. I will try that instead. thanks.

lol glad to hear you got it. I also use Root Explorer in the market to manage files in /system and /data. So say if you wanted to change your boot animation, you would just copy the file from your sd card to /data/local.
Is it possible to make an update.zip file that replaces the build.prop file, or any way to replace the build.prop file without doing a full restore?
I did it using adb commands.
Well I tried using adb shell to swap the file, but when I ran su I got "[1] + Stopped (signal) su"
So I guess I'm going to be forced to do a nadroid restore of my system
Just use root explorer to copy the file to /sd, then use astro to edit it, and root explorer it back to the original spot and reboot. You don't need to change file permissions or any thing. No computer needed.

Hi Clienterror,
What if the system is not booting?
I had installed an application which changes resolution and now ended up with a boot loop.
I have searched for ways how to extract the build.prop and correct the error, but none appears to exist.
I was asking if it is possible to extract the current build.prop via the update.zip method so that the build.prop can be repaired...
I read that from the update.zip you can execute code, would it be possible to use a similar method for extracting files from the system folder?
Thanks

You could just reflash your current ROM and it should replace it.

Hi korockinout13,
I have tried to refresh from a rom i got, but I am prompted an error with Nand version.
The android in question is not common (Subor, a chinese Android Tablet) and have not found any firmware for my particular model except for the one supplied by the supplier, which still does not install.
At this stage reflashing is not an option, so I am looking for something else...
Thanks for your time

Actually there is a potential option... can you get into recovery? And does your recovery have a file manager? If so go into mounts and mount /system. Then use the file manager in recovery and you should be able to access build.prop. copy it to your SD and then you should be able to mount your SD to your computer through recovery.
Edit: when you mount /system make sure you mount the SD as well or you won't be able to copy to it while you're in the recovery file manager.

Hi m1batt1,
The recovery does not have any file mount option
I have lost all hope of being able to get the system to boot.
Thanks the same.

You might have to flash stock KK4 at this point and go from there.
What kernel do you have for it not to have a file mount? I believe even stock kernel has it Since you can get in download mode, I would flash a newer kernel if I were you (with Odin) to be able to mount in recovery.

From what I'm reading he doesn't even have a captivate. He's using some Chinese tablet.

hey i have rooted my captivate and gone tthrough all the steps to flash new rom but when i go to install rom it says installing but nothing happens how long does it take and is there something im missin using mac
More detailed steps please of what u did.
rooted phone then flash clockwork then back up and tryed to install just like its say the only thing i did different the pc user is recompressed files to zip because mac uncompresses them automaticly when u download them this is my first attemp at flashing rom its says installing but there is no progress on the stats bar
Do not re-compress them. find a way to get it onto the sd card without it.
have you gotten to the point where you select the file when you are in recovery?

That is your problem. If you recompress it, it will not work. I myself am on a mac, and although it decompresses it automatically, it should still have the original ZIP file in your downloads folder. You need to use that.

The novadroid it won't work with your phone, you will brick it, because i already did that.
I cant find the original rom too but I created a custom rom for this model phone, maybe works with yours too, http://www.putlocker.com/file/77AA68DDE353127C
I got a backup from mine before I briked, but the system.img part it was corrupted, so i extracted from other rom with same hardware but just the system.img, I edited the hardware part and its works, i deleted some apks that it wasnt necesaries, and changed the lanuncher for holo launcher because the launcher of the other rom it was very bad
IMPORTANT!!
before you do anything, go to system folder, copy all the folders and the build.prop file to SDCARD, except "bin" and "etc folders, because it dont let you copy some files from "etc" and "bin" folders, but the others folders it will let you, if you do that I will be able to create a rom factory because i have all the factory files except some files from the system folder because mine was corrupted. Please upload that folders in a zip file and I will create a factory rom.
Hello,
I am stuck with one of these samsung i9500 sc6820 phones...
I was stupid enough to click on delete app using titanium backup and I am stuck now on reboot... I know I should have clicked on freeze however I made a mistake...
Now phone is in reboot loop and it shows
Unknown volume for path system; app/xxxxxxx (name of application I deleted)
and in the second line:
reboot into recovery...
How can I recover this phone... I can not connect it to anything in order to flash it since it just keeps rebooting... I found couple of pac and image files but I do not know hot to proceed... phone just turns off and there is not enough time to connect via adb or any other app....
I spent so many days until I rooted this phone and with one click I messed it up...
I have apk file I deleted but how to transfer it to the phone?
this phone does not have fastboot or recovery... and even the menu with some factory testing with vol - and power button is not accessible now...
Any suggestions how to proceed? Maybe some flash from sd card if possible... ?
update:
i found the way to flash pac files however i do not have appropriate one to use...
this is as far as i know sc6820 sc8110 phone with 256mb rom and 256mb ram...
on the sticker is says i9500 samsung and it was loaded with 4.2.2 android...
if anyone has any links or pac files for me to try please let me know since I already tried with 4-5 images and always end up with white screen...
Also if I find the same phone how can I make an image to copy it to this phone?
What is the easiest way to do it?
