[Q] Please help, I was trying to change the fonts and screwed my phone.

I need some help please, my phone wont boot and is stuck at the M logo. I am using dexters ROM with its patch. I wanted to change the android font from the standard droidsans to the Ubuntu font. I downloaded the ttf's from the ubuntu website and started looking on how to go about it.
So after searching the internet, I saw most people were doing it using adb push to replace the fonts in the /system folder. First problem that I encountered was adb not working, but after updating my $PATH to add platform tools it started working. After that when I tried the push command it said the /system was read only. I followed these instructons to make the /system folder read/write.
adb shell
$ su
# mount
# # mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock7 /system
After this I did:
mv /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans_org.ttf
# exit
$ exit
I tried to adb push the fonts but they permission was denied. I them removed the original fonts and thats when the screen went black. I did adb reboot and now the phone wont go past the M logo. Went into normal recovery using the camera, media and power keys. Did a factory reset. Still stuck. I have no idea wtf I did, I just usually follow instructions and everything is fine dunno what happened this time. I dont know how to go back into open recovery and flash the rom again. Any help would be appretiated. Thanks!

You should be able to get into openrecovery by pressing and holding the volume up key while powering on.

Thank you! It worked now to get around to fixing this Thanks again

[Q] Nexus S (rooted) does not save clockworkmod recovery after reboot

Hi,
I have followed all of these steps theunlockr.com/2010/12/17/how-to-root-the-samsung-nexus-s/[/url] up to VI. Stop the Phone from Uninstalling the Custom Recovery Image. After I shutdown the phone I hold the volume up and press the power to go into fastboot however when I press recovery, the clockworkmod does not save and just boots the stock recovery. Once I type in adb shell
cd etc
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery-no.sh I get mount: Operation not permitted.
I hope someone can help me. Thanks to whoever is reading this.

I have the same issue and my work around was to install Jrummy's ROM Manager and Flash recovery and reboot from within the APP itself.
Hope this helps.

adding the line, prior to the mount command:
su
for superuser access did the trick for me when I was getting this problem

[Q] ADB SHELL CHMOD 644 ,nothing is working anymore...

Hello everybody
I needed to push a file to /system/app but since I was on stock rom & kernel, that didnt support adb root.
I needed to be able to push the backup file after restart but ADBD Insecure couldn't patch after restart.
my phone is optimus G E975 , fully stock 4.1.2
I found this command which could do the thing BUT :
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /system
since it didnt restore to default after restarted I tried to restore it myself(didn't work) with:
adb shell
su
chmod 644 /system
but after that every thing force stopped & after restart, phone can't boot anymore,just when want t start boot animation, it just cant & goes to recovery every time!
even Hard reset didnt work, but as stock recovery supports adb, I wish you guys can help me. but It seems adb shell gives permission denied(13) in recovery. please someone help...
Anyway am I able to flash in download mode????? (for the last solution)
any help to change that CHMOD to 777 in recovery or something else?
any help appreciated so much!

After using this command, it seems the /system directory became unreadable,
FIX: after flashing e975tot rom through LGNPST in DW mode, the phone booted up normally & problem fixed.

[Completed] [Q] Lenovo Tab Bricked (Due to deodexing)

So I was trying to deodex my stock rom (my tab is rooted: ICS 4.0.4), I followed this commands using adb to deodex my stock rom (this commands are from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374008):
adb
shellsu
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
I assume that my stock rom is deodexed. After I did all these commands using adb, I rebooted my tab and it got stuck in the boot logo (the lenovo logo after the boot animation), It doesnt turn off when it comes to the boot logo (I discharge it to turn it off). I can enter recovery mode (stock recovery 3e). Ive tried wiping data and factory reset, wipe cache partition, sideload a custom rom(i cant find stock rom for my model)(installation aborted bec i have stock recovery).
Ive tried doing this to odex my system: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390162 , but I dont know how to do it since I cant connect to adb due to being stuck in boot logo.
My Tablet Specs:
Model: Lenovo A7-50 A3500-HV 7inch Tablet
OS: Android ICS 4.0.4 Rooted (Stock Rom from Manufacturer)
Recovery: Stock Recovery 3e
CPU: MTK 8382 QC 1.3GHz
I just want to be able to use my tablet again. How will I fix it? Unbrick it? I cant find any other solutions, the last solution I thought of is to ask here in xda. Please help mee! Thanks in advance

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It sounds like to me that you need to find the stock firmware and flash it. I've found this which may be the best place to ask if anyone with your device knows where to find it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/lenovo-a3500hv-root-cwm-flashtool-t2899844
Good luck!
