I have a rooted ace with cwm installed.
I wanted to change fonts - I copied the original clocktopia.tff to my sdcard, and replaced the original in the phone.
Now my phone boots up, homescreen appears and it keeps resetting.
I want a flashable zip with the original fonts. Is it possible to unbrick it?
I'm sorry if my sentences don't make sense, I'm scared.
Sorry for double posting, but I really need help fast.
****, I shouldn't have done that.
Would flashing a new ROM fix this? Can I get CM 7.2?
Oh god help me, I can't get the phone replaced or repaired.
Yes. Flash a new rom and that will fix it. Also wipe all data in the recovery mode before installing the new rom.

Isn't there a way to fix this without installing a new rom? Can I flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19493099&postcount=3 ?
I don't want to lose all my stuff.
Oh, and also I have the font backed up in my SD card, can I transfer it to the font folder?

so im new to the android world please be gentle. i just got my nexus one today trying to get it rooted so that i can get the modacos desire rom up and running. so far using these instructions
http://theunlockr.com/2010/01/08/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-nexus-one/
ive gotten the phone to reboot with a padlock at the bottom, it will let me run torch so i assumed it was rooted. i put both nandroid folder and the sense ui rom zip files but when i try to put the phone into recovery mode it gives me the android dude and an exlamation mark. sorry if this is a common problem or i missed some simple instructions. thanks for any help.
Sounds like you did step I on that page, but might have missed step II completely and didn't flash the custom recovery rom.
Try here instead for a full tutorial on the exact steps needed to get to the Desire rom:

But you can skip the unlocking of the bootloader, as it seems you got that done.
amazing! thank you
hey ive tried a couple different methods but cant seem to get rid of this com.google.process.gapps message after i enter my google info. ive removed everything from my memory card. wiped a hundred times, flashed several diffent roms. it popped up first on the newest cyogen rom after installing a couple of programs, not sure which one did it. is there a way to manually clear the google info on the phone because it seems to be stored in there. thanks
So I'm assuming you already got recovery... Did you wipe data / cache / dalvik before flashing the ROM? Did you also flash Gapps? Give that a try. That should help.
yeah i wipe all the devlik/ cache along with regular wipe each time before a install. what is gapps?
GoogleApps.

cool that did it, back to cyogen, wish the desire rom was as fast as the cyogen. thanks for the help man!
if theres a desire status bar i want to install can i just flash the zip or do i have to back everything up do a wipe and install everything all over again?
Yes, you can flash themes over the ROM without wiping, as long as the theme is compatible with the ROM.

ok so i have rooted my device today, now im trying to install darky's official port rom on my captivate, how do i install it from the recovery mode without hurting and bricking my phone in anyway. I saw a bunch of youtube videos which said to make a backup then wipe data and then installl the zip from sd.
Is this way correct or do i have to do something with odin3 with this rom?

If your phone is rooted and you have CWM on your phone just get to recovery and select install zip from sd card. Select where you put the ROM zip and select it. Simple as that. You can make a backup prior to installing the ROM from ROM manager if you want to do so. I personally do not do it anymore because I change so much and there are issues for restoring if you are not on the same kernel from the backup.
that failed
i tried that twice, installation aborted both times
It shouldn't have. You didn't rename the file to update.zip did you? Are you only rooted with no previous rom?
This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
problemmmmm
ok by mistake i touched some touch buttons and it rebooted my phone and is stuck on recovery, everytime i restart/reboot in recovery.
should i pull the battery?
i can get
i can get into download mode
I would use odin one click to flash to 2.1. Then get into recovery mode and flash the rom.
This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
can you
can you please guide me through it,like tell me what i have to do since i know nothing about this,

As much as i absolutely hate making my first post a Oh no, Help me i'm a noob distress call, i have to ask it.
Tried to flash in a rom, went to wipe factory data. Factory wipe never started or succeeded just sat their idely, removed battery and immediately booted back into CWM wiped it again worked perfectly. Heres the bad part, i went to and flash in one of the 5 roms on my sd card and not one of the seems to be responding... i get an error message like so
E:Failure at line (9 or 10 depending on rom)
Copy-Dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
Installation aborted.
Tried to just reboot and it takes me back to CWM
i'm thinkin this is bricked? Any help would be appreciated (you can add in the noob insults as well if you wish lol)
your phone is not bricked.
make sure you have update.zip in your internal sdcard root dir. boot into recovery and install packages twice, you should then be in the right CWM mode.
then install the rom zip file from there.

Make sure everything is on the internal SD card, in fact its best to remove any external just in case of bad things
Also try using ODIN for the whipe and put all of your CWM and Roms on afterward
Thanks for the help guys, fortunately everything is there i can see the update.zip, three of my rooms and a bunch of other junk that was saved to the internal sd i have everything out of the phone and i am getting the same results when i try to reinstall the update.zip, and the same errors when i go to install the roms. Any ideas?
which rom are you on right now ? which rom are you going to install ?
i was running Cognition216 Atinm. Trying to install andromeda v2.1 themed.

you can use odin to flash back to stock, do a master clear. copy back your update.zip & andromeda rom file to your sd. then follow the above post to give another try.
Ok, i'll give that a shot and see if i dont really brick it now haha. Have any links or video tutorials?

Thanks guys i appreciate the help thankfully odin v3 is a one click set up and my phone is up and running. Aside from a really angrey girlfriend, pissed off father and a few annoyed friends no harm done lol. Cheers!
okay, first of all i will say that im sorry if what im writing is full on faulty language. enlgish isnt my best. aaaanuslut i got my brothers old gt n7000 with a broken touchpad and screen for free. i repaired that with 160€ and my brother said that the phone was rooted. i found out he had allso overclocked the device. But after a few restarts to the phone it just said something what i think was in spanish or something "bla bla bla dos sistema". After that came not your old samsung logo, but purple blueish circles just circling. Ant thats it, it would not start. So i read about bricked devices, and as much as i understood i had a soft brick. so i was looking aroun the forum for some easy fixes becasue im totally stranger to this kind of hacking. i finaly found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F97qo1moAR4 and i downloaded custom jb N7000XXLSZ_N7000OPSLS6_N7000XXLSO_HOME.tar. it did work but again after i tried to restart the phone it was stuck.
So since i dont want any custom stuff i think to my self why not stock rom. so i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997. But since i dont like JB as much as ICS i will try ICS. Her is the question: i allready did the factory reset and cache wipe but this instruction says not to FROM ICS.
Warning :
Don't wipe anything from stock ICS recovery
Don't factory reset/Hard reset on stock ICS.
Don't flash any Wipe version of ICS ROM
Does that mean that i have allready gone wrong or does that mean that you have to have ICS on youre phone and then you cant do any of those things? its really confusing and i dont want to fk up my phone.
Did you make a wipe on stock ICS recovery?

Yes i can
flash via recovery phils kernel, (a newer one) reboot in recovery and perform the wipe for new rom option.
That should clean your device good.
Then flash what you want. After that download an emmc check app and check. Shouldnt be needed, but its nice to check.

Allright, thankyou, since i am new to all this stuff i will try to locate a tutorial. i dont have any idea for instance, what is recovery phils kernel.
at own risk, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191. Download zip, keep zipped and put on external sd. Reboot recovery and flash via install from sd option.
Since we are going to wipe latest version will do fine. However if you plan to reflash the original Samsung rom one that is same or likewise version is best to quickly root after flashing rom, so you can flash speedmod kernel (better battery life) after. Find in original dev thread of this forum.
Remember, via factory format on phills kernel recovery(reboot in recovery) you have the option to do a wipe for new rom.
Otherwise on Phills kernel recovery do factory, cache wipe. In advanced dalvik cache, in mounts all(warning take out external sd before so you dont wipe that)
Then your phone is clean, you shouldnt have to wipe efs anyway, so dont tick that option ever in pc odin when flashing rom with odin.
This is the cleanest way to get rid of All leftovers and generally the way to go before flashing any new rom. However risk of loosing photos and whatever you have not backed up. In general backing up is bad as old files/db/etc are put back (risk of unforeseen stuff happening) Check one of my 5 threads for what backups there are. Via my profile you find them
Enjoy!

Okay, im thankful for all this information, useful stuff, got the PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT6-XSA-5.06.1-signed.zip.
let us know how it went, ok?
OOOKAY! so i finaly did what baz77 described. and rooted with another phils kernel witch i chose after my downloaded rom. Did root it, and after powering down and waiting about 3-5 sec. i started it, and it worked, no more getting stuck on gt n7000 screen and so on. and i also downloaded emmc check app, but unfortunatley it said. Brick bug: YES. Insane Chip.
sorry for double post, how do i delete? all i can do is use edit/delete button but it only edits the post, how can i delte it?
You cant but thats ok.
all n7000 have the brickbug to my knowledge, the test should state if the bug has been triggered, if not then super, if it has, best to secure the broken emmc sectors. Tricky.
I think having it clean now should eliminate earlier issues Enjoy your n7000
Thank you, i will, lately my n7000 has been rebooting randomly, any fix or know issue why this occures?

not sure how that is happening. Maybe a logcat (logfiles) shows whats happening when it happens. Could be app. Maybe rom issue. Method of elimination counts here.
On safe kernel, try dalvik cache, cache wipes and fix permissions in recovery, reboot and check if reoccurs.
Otherwise, updated versions, clean install I would recommend.
You can check also before with that emmc app if there are bad sectors. I dont expect it but you never know
Okay, its been a long time since i did that stuff. And it worked allirght. i got my phone working and rooted. Great stuff here
Sorry for updating old topic. Since people who have helped me with my phone allready are familiar with my case. I was wisiting a friend of mine in england and after i returned home my phone is f**ked. Everything works okay, but when i turn on mobile data or wifi it instantly freezes. Takes about 15-20 sec. and then phone does an automatic restart which restarting gets into boot loop. I have to hold down bower button to reboot again. When it asks me for sim unlock code, i have to be quick when im inserting it because i need to turn off mobiledata/wifi as soon as ia get my phone running again, otherwise it will freeze and crash again. Can it be somekind of virus or something? Is it most likely that i have to again format and install philz kernel and all that stuff? Thanks in advance.
that would be the best way to start..IMO
I really dont have the time or opportunity to format and reflash, but i guess its really difficult, near imbossible to tell whats wrong with my samsung. Bust still, any other suggestions?
Hello,
I am on latest stock firmware, and want to completely erase my phone and install a fresh copy of latest OS.
Now, I am not at all feeling comfortable in flashing myself as I am having limited knowledge and I fear I will end up screwing phone.
If I visit Samsung service center, they just reset the phone... when told to install fresh copy of OS.
So, what to tell them so they understand that I want all old OS related things to be deleted and install a fresh copy of OS. Also what I have to see to make sure they are indeed doing what I am saying... what will screen display ?
Sum pointers plz.

Pointers:
1. Install a philz kernel.
2. Wipe all the partitions after that.
3. Download the stock firmware from sammobile.com or Dr Ketans thread from XDA (this thread also has instructions/how-to for how to flash using odin)
4. Use odin to flash stock rom in download mode.
Before you proceed and make any mistake read about all the above and understand the risk associated.
LOL. ok ill try not to laugh
goto settings about phone. check your version ... there may not be a update.
restart your phone "hold volume up and the menu button" when u get to factory recovery. use the "wipe/factory reset" that is as close as your going to get, (without using a custom rom). once done. u can goto the same "settings / about phone" and check "software update". if there is an update, you can download and apply it from there.
also check you have enough battery life before doing this.

Cant I just go to settings and under backuo & reset --> factory data reset.
Is the this the same as the method u suggested above ?
First of all make sure wat u want to do, if updated stock firmware is wat u want then reset your phone and then update it if there is any.. this is the safe mode.
Now the other option u got is root it, install cmw, install kernel, n lastly custom ROM it will allow you to change CPU frequency and much more.. choose any custom ROM its olwAys better in the most criterias. But if you wanna stick to the stock ROM. . Just reset it.

yes, almost the same, except. none of the files will be in use. if you use the restart method.
actually i think if you do the FACTORY reset from the phone while its booted. it will just restart and do the same "recovery" method? right?
sorry been a while since i did booted WIPE.
@ sushantp606
judging from the responses and stuff here. I am thinking this user is not at the stage to consider the stuff you posted, they are only after a basic wipe and update of the rom.
The problem is everybody always speak abt wipe... I don't wana wipe, I wana install fresh clean copy of latest official OS.
