When you are going to push it follow my instructions
Copy it to the memory/or your memory card
in adb type this
Code:
adb shell
su
cp sdcard/framework-res.apk system/framework/framework-res.apk
if its not on the main memory and its on your memory card type this
Code:
adb shell
su
cp sdcard/_ExternalSD/framework-res.apk system/framework/framework-res.apk
after you do that the phone will recognize the original framework and you will be fine.
PS: Although the root exploring app sees the framework-res.apk it may not be registered with the phone and it gets fixed by pushing it using adb shell
now remember do not do adb shell cp sdcard/whatever.apk because the phone will not allow it for some reason...... FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS
OMG thank you i am going crazy with this drive i am in linux now, so i'll just push this from adb in recovery...

Err no... that won't work.
Code:
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system
stop
cp /sdcard/_ExternalSD/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
reboot
Will deliver a much better (working) result...
Since we're not sure how to do this, this is what i did:
Well the system was boot-looping on the kernel level so neither instructions were accurate.
I first installed the test version CWM recovery, from there I mounted system from inside recovery and then i used these commands
Code:
adb push ./framework-res.apk /sdcard/framwork-res.apk
adb shell
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
then i rebooted and crossed my fingers till it finally booted
I thought he was doing it through recovery and he knew to mount the system already...

You need root permission to delete anything in /system/
try adb root
adb remount
then delete.

[Build.Prop] Xperia L

Hi there
I was messing with my build.prop to tweak and test it on my ROM and I got bootloop. I had to flash system again via ftf as I didnot make a backup on my PC. However, there are many ways to edit/flash build.prop again and thus if anyone of you have a problem while editing build.prop you can write it back to your device using ADB Shell commands.
Run Command Prompt where you have adb. You must have drivers installed properly. For drivers check into my forum :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2493042
adb pull /system/build.prop C:\Users\user\Desktop
User is your user name on PC. You may copy it anywhere else by changing the location of the file.
"build.prop" on your desktop should appear. Open it with using a wordpad. Change what ever you want to.
adb push C:\Users\user\Desktop\build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
This will copy the build.prop on your sd card
ADB remount
ADB push c:\build.prop /system/ depending where your file is. In this case, I am trying to mount directly from C:/ to phone. If this doesnot work, you should use the above command to copy it in sdcard and then try to push it from sd card.
If suppose that doesnot work either, use adb shell
adb shell
A shell is used to run commands.
su mount -o remount,rw none /system
busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
mount -o remount,ro none /system
You are done ! Good Luck
UPDATE
I am unable to reach device using adb commands. Anyone who knows how can i push build.prop when my adb is not working and my phone is bootlooped

[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.

Replaced wrong build.prop and local.prop

I've been stupid enough and replaced my modified build and local.prop files on B310 ROM with the ones I've backed up from my B121SP06 ROM and after I've rebooted the phone it just stays on "Honor, powered by android" logo. Is there some way I can't replace those files with the originals before the intervention ( I have them on my SD card)? I can boot into recovery or in bootloader, also I can flash CWM recovery.

I had also problems with these two files.
Install cwm on your phone and start your phone in cwm-mode to use adb
in cwm you have to mount system, data and cust
open a command line and use adb as following:
"adb remount"
"adb pull /system/build.prop" --> this will download the build.prop-file to your local folder, where your adb-file is located. At this point you can also download another file like your mentioned backup of the build.prop. for the local.prop-file you have to use: "adb pull /data/cust/prop/local.prop"
When you are ready with changes on the two files or you just want to upload the right ones to your phone back use this command:
"adb push build.prop /system/build.prop" and/or "adb push local.prop /data/cust/prop/local.prop" --> it will copy the file build.prop or local.prop from the local folder, where your adb-file is located to the phone.
After uploading the files to your phone you have to fix permissions:
"adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop" and/or "adb shell chmod 644 /data/cust/prop/local.prop"
reboot your phone via cwm.
This is how it worked for me. I hope it will help you too. :fingers-crossed:
By the way, I'm actually looking for a stock local.prop-file for the L04 (from the firmware B109SP1 or B114) or the L12 (from the firmware B118 or B607). Do you have one of these?
Thanks for the reply but I've already succeeded flashing B313. I've been trying with "adb pull" command but it was saying "no device found " or something similar.
My phone is H60-L02 so i don't have the files you're looking for.
