Hi to All!
Is there some way to transfer Hebrew fonts from sd card to system of device?
I can see sd cards folders,also i see WildFire system folder-like fonts e.t.c.
i use dual file manager app to manage files on sd card,i success to copy the file from sd card,but i can't to paste the fonts on system folders.There isn't option to paste the copied files.
Some advance on this issue?
Thank in advance!!!
I found my problem.
I thought that i done softRoot,but unfortunately it isn't,i can't to paste the files because the folders of system still closed.
maybe try with a rooted explorer.
Push the file to your sdcard and then copy it with the root explorer to the font dir.
(didn't tried it, it's just an idea)
No - it doesn't matter,i tried with two different application to push the fonts,all systems folders is closed,i think it's related to root of device.
Anyway, thanks for advise.

If you want to push files to /system using soft root, you'll need to mount bind and then symlink a new directory containing all of system's content.
Otherwise, I'd just wait for full root which will be with you soon.

Better- i'll wait.
Hi Martin,
I prefer to wait for unrEVOked root.
By the way,do you have any idea: when the root should be published?
Thanks,
Well, technically, the root is ready.
I've been hassling unrEVOked devs as much as I can to give me a final test build so that it can go live, but these guys have other lives and, to be honest, the Wildfire is small fry to them.
Regardless, I am continuing to ask them -- I'd really really hope that it will be released within the next week, but, obviously, it's out of my hands.
Best,
Martin
Ok
Ok,We'll wait patiently.
Thanks for your sacred work
First of all thanks to unrEVOked team for the ROOT!!!
Second i still have some problem with transferring fonts from sdcard to system/fonts even after implement success root my wildfire,somebody know what the problem???
Thank in advance.
i guess you need Hebrew fonts
try this

You need to boot into *recovery mode*, go to "Partitions" in clockworkmod and select "mount /system". When this is done, you can put the fonts in.
The unrEVOked root will still not allow you to write to the /system partition during normal bootup.

What's the error? You need to use adb as root in recovery...

when i try to paste the fonts,i get waring "Warning!!!Do you want to overiwrite (folder will be merged)"? i press ok then i get app notice "paste is failed".
As I said, go into adb in recovery mode -- don't connect it up as a folder you can access with PC as you will not be running with root privileges.

sorry,but i think i didn't got you.do not connect the device to the pc?or to connect the device and to try to done this process through the \tools\adb?
may i mistake?
You need to connect the device to the PC, then restart the device *in recovery mode*.
You need to stay in recovery mode throughout.
Then mount /system and use adb on your PC to push the files.
Ok.thanks man

I'm trying to push the fonts file as you said through adb cmd:
(adb push /sdcard/fonts /system/)
,but I get next error "cannot stat: /sdcard/fonts/ not such file or directory".
the adb not recognize/see the sdcard.
Just flash the following zip from recovery: http: // hero.host-il.co.il/HebVillain/Hebrew_Fonts_Dalet11.zip

I am in need of read/write access to my system folder. I am simply trying to copy some ringtones and add a boot animation.
I have SGS tools and ran the r/w script, which allowed me to VIEW the folder with Droid Explorer, however I am unable to actually copy TO the system folder or its subfolders.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT - I've also tried to push the files to the phone via ADB, but I get an error telling me "Failed: Operation Not Permitted".
EDIT x2 - I've also got Root Explorer installed on the phone and it showed R/W access, but again, I can't get any files pushed to the phone.
Did you allow sgs tools to get a root permission?

Did you try fixing permissions through cwm recovery?
try root explorer. and double check superuser permissions

I've still got no access to R/W in any of the system folders/subs. Any ideas?
I am having the same problem with root explorer..
I have fixed permissions in CWM
It had worked once but now it wont mount r/rw in system folder. Press the icon and it does nothing.
Superuser permission in SGS tools, Root exploer all show active
Any ideas?
Anyone else have any ideas? I'm totally puzzled at this point.
I have sort of fixed the problem..
I go into SGS tools and run the batch file to give r/rw permissions, then I can mount r/rw in system folder, but I loose this each time I reboot and I think when I connect USB..
but it works for the purpose I needed!
I think I've found a work around (or maybe the way it was SUPPOSED to work)...
I rebooted the phone in recovery. Then, selected "mount /system". Then I went to Advanced and "Fix Permissions" (don't know if I had do, just did).
THEN - I was able to FINALLY push the files to the correct folders! I tried it using ADB commands and also with Droid Explorer - Both worked great.
I don't know if the phone was always supposed to be in recovery to do it, but it worked!
I have a Marquee and have successfully rooted using http://androidnerds.net/2011/10/08/lg-esteem-oneclickroot-now-ready/. Apparently the LG Esteem is close enough for this to work. After install, you will need to manually update superuser via the market.
Thanks to Hoovhartid over at androidcentral forums for suggesting this.

install Rom Manager from the market
ROM manager doesn't give an option for my phone for CWM and you can't back up your ROM without it.
Sorry but not risking bricking this thing if I make the wrong choice.

+1.and you can use adb to pull all files and boot.img ,and we can test it in a safer way
Okay guys, I thought what the hell, I'll try the LGE Black option in ROM manager and see what happens.
IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use the volume keys to move and the search button to select.
I have backed up the ROM from the Marquee and loaded on Mediafire.
The back up wasn't good, so i pulled the link. Sorry!
Hope this helps.
Sorry folks, I don't think the backup is any good. I tried another and it looks the same. It is too small and doesn't have musch data.
Can someone point me to, or step me through, how to pull all the files with adb. I'll be glad to pull and post.

am kinda noob too..so hope this will help!xD
first of all,you need a adb.exe
you can get it from super-one-click,or android sdk,google it
for example,we pull files at d:\system
copy adb files in d:\system
and then,open cmd(win+R,enter cmd)
connect your phone before we start.
type
Code:
d:
adb pull /system .\system
ok then it will pull all the system files into d:\system
does it back up to a directory on the SD card? if it does, you need all the files in the directory. there should be a few .img files along with the nandroid.md5 file. put them all in a zip and upload it.
look in sdcard: \clockworkmod\backup\
the directory the files are in should be named with a date+time stamp
Any chance?

I've already tried the CWM backup and it is no good, only about 18 meg in size and missing almost everything important.
That is why I was trying to get directions on how to use ADB to pull system files and image from the phone.

1. Download Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Install it on C: (not on Program Files for Easy Access)
3. Connect your phone through USB with debugging on
4. Open Command propt from your PC. (windows button + r / type "cmd" without quotes)
5. On command prompt type "cd c:\Android\ASDK\platform-tools" (without quotes then press Enter)
6. Then type "adb pull /system" (without quotes then press Enter)
7. wait till it's finished pulling the files
Now go to C:Android\ASDK\platform-tools. Copy all files now, zip it. Upload, they'll just exclude/disect the adb ones.
this is interesting. I'm going to try to use this method for rooting our P970.
Advices are welcome
Okay, I used ADB and was able to pull the system, boot.img and recovery.img.
Not sure if any of these are correct. The system file is HUGE (434mb zipped) but looks like every thing is there. Both boot and recovery are 5.00mb each.
If this looks right and is what you are after I will upload it to mediafire.
Let me know.
go go up it!, i wanna see if we can get a nice gingerbread with lg drivers from this.

nicely done
now let our chef master to cook it
hello i have tried to use one click and when i do it said that cannot stat recovery.img no such file or directory if you could help let me
thanks to colbur87
Its in the zip, but make sure you launch 1click_cwr in the same folder as recovery.img
Dont copy it out or anything like that. The program looks for recovery.img to be in the same folder as 1click_cwr.
ok thanks but i am still having a few problem when adb push recovery.img /data it said failed to copy recovery,img to /data/recovery.img permission denied
i have tried keeping it in a zip and extracting it all to the same folder only when i extract it is when i can run as admin and my phone is rooted so that not the problem
You can't run an executable in a zip file. It must be extracted first. Even if you just click it from within the zip file, it is still extracted to a temporary location......
All you need to do is:
Extract the entire folder somewhere on your computer (right click extract(depending on your os/installed zip program, the menu may be different. Just extract it!))
Run 1click_cwr as admin (right click on the icon and click run as administrator)
That it your done......
Make sure USB Debugging mode is ON.
i did extract it all to the same folder and right click as
admin and it said in the cmd
adb push recovery.img /data it said failed to copy recovery,img to /data/recovery.img permission denied
any help would be greatly appreciated
anything i can do in my super user to allow access
any chance i could run this program in Linux
by the way my debugging is on
Well, there are two error I see there....first: can't push file to phone because premission denied.
2nd: Can't change premissions on the file because its not found (because of 1st error).
I would suggest googling 'permission denied adb push' I found a lot of people with your same problem...I can only speak to my application which worked for me and a lot of other people.
Have you tried setting permissions for the /data folder? Use root explorer and long press /data folder and check all nine boxes.

thanks that did it
after using one click and i do a factory reset would that brick my thrill
hello.... I just recently bought a Thrill from a person off craigslist. It came rooted and I hadnt known. Is there anything I should be worried about? like if he installed anything that could be tracking the phone or anything? Also, how can I tell what method he used to root it. Basically, how do i figure out how to unroot it and erase everything so i can have the expirence of actually doing everything myself so i understand it.
just use super one click root to unroot the device but you have down load the right one click
So, I've rooted my captivate and have installed build 32 of aokp.
I'm trying to install a custom boot animation. However i cannot access /system/media from my computer and when i try to copy and paste the .zip from the sdcard, file manager won't let me. /data/local does not exist.
I should mention i'm running blue infinium.
Any help? I'm pretty sure i'm being stupid but i've tried everything i can think of and read a bunch of threads.
Thanks in advance,

Unless I'm mistaken, you actually want to put your boot animation in /system/media.
And if you have ADB installed, you can just reboot to recovery, hook up the USB cable, put your bootanimation.zip into the /platform-tools folder where ADB resides, and issue this command:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
If you don't have ADB, you'll need to get a root-level file manager (ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, etc) to move the file.

I'm assuming ADB is an app, and the code i'm supposed to enter is entered on the phone through a terminal program?
Otherwise thanks, makes sense. Anyway to access /system files through windows explorer?
Thanks again
*EDIT* Also, thats what i've been trying to do with the file manager. But when the file is selected/cut/copied, i cannot access the root files. I have tried several different root file systems.

Alright, thank you. Also, does terminal=cmd? I understand terminal can be on the phone, but i always thought, on windows anyway, that terminal is synonymous with command prompt.

ADB is Android Debug Bridge - it's part of the Android SDK that you have to download and install from Google. It's a pretty handy tool to have.
As korockinout13 pointed out, no dice with the Windows Explorer seeing the root files, and terminal does equal cmd/command prompt.
With the explorer app on your phone, you'll have to look around and find a setting that will tell Android to mount your /system folder as read-write. I believe in Root Explorer there's a button near the top that switches read-only and read-write.
Looked around on explorer and couldn't find the setting. Root explorer costs 4$ and I've tried a couple others. All giving me the read only memory error. I'll just have to wait till I get home to do it over adb. Thanks for all the help.
root access wont let you "see" your root folders when you mount your phone as SD card.
adb is one of many options.
copy to sdcard, then use a root level manager to move
wait!! there was this on the portal today.... Quick ADB Pusher.. adb file pusher GUI
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/push-files-to-your-device-with-quick-adb-pusher/
Got it to work with Ghost Commander. There's an option to remount files as ro/rw.
Works great. Thanks for your help!
That bootanimation is screwed up - it's not zip, files are stored. It took me a while to figure it out.
Dear Friends

Go the recovery (TWRP) and then try again to copy the data.
TWRP does mount the storage and you can then use the Windows Explorer to copy the data safely.
Should work.

I did what you told , but my storage space insufficient to copy the backup.
But i have succeded copy the TWRP Back up by accident actually.
What i did , set the twrp folder to chmod 755 and enter then restart phone to recovery again.
TWRP came up and ask wether to keep system as read only or allow system modification.
I set allow , then connect to pc. And it works! Copy drag drop etc work as usual.
However I cannot manually see the TWRP setting for the read/write system... hmm
