hi i was wondering do i need to replace both droidsans.tff AND droidsans-bold.ttf
if so do i replace them with the same tff file ( the font i;m using only has one .tff file) or can't i use it
i'm running hboot1.01 using CWM
Yes, u can use the same ttf file to substitute both DroidSans and DroidSans-Bold but then ur phone shall display both regular and bold text in the same way.

Swyped from my legend using xda app.
Thanks a lot I was just wondering
I'm guessing to flash it I use adb push. Etc.... XD
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA Premium App
ok i flashed them using adb push etc to /system/fonts/droid etc....
i overwrote droidsans and droidsans-bold but nothing it hasn't changed What am i doing wrong?
Have you done a reboot?
I clicked to reboot the phone since I'm on hboot 1.01 its the only way I can flash them without command prompt saying its a read only file
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA Premium App
Are you sure you did overwrite those ttf files? Did you mount /system before adb push?
Ok I didn't do that :/ guess hats where I went wrong right? Do you need to do that ? XD if so what did I do :/ XD
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA Premium App
Mount /system via clockwork recovery and than push the fonts via adb

Cool ok thanks one other question
Why do you have to mount it first?
Also how would I go about flashing other stuff e.g the lockscreen and widgets and what not

Obviously because in CWM it is not mounted by default.

You pushed stuff into /system directory which actually resided in initramfs. That's similar to ramdisk.

Is there any way of removing them? From there XD thanks BTW

Well, ask yourself how you remove things from RAM.

Do I just clear cache from cwm? Errmmm

Has there been anything on rooting directly from the phone?
And has anyone made an update.zip with unlockd boot?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
Yes, you can root directly from your phone by using terminal emulator but you have to put photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp first. I rooted my photon on the phone itself.

Ok can you please tell me how you got terminal to process your commands. I get permission denied every time I use terminal to try and do anything with /data. I obviously need root to complete the commands using terminal to write to anything besides the sd. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Did you install superuser from market? You also need to install Superuser and push photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp
then type the following in terminal emulator:
cd /data/tmp
/bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar
/data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh
/data/tmp/install-su.sh
Just say "THANKS" to Edgan for great work and job well done.

Not sure if you were responding to me or the other guy but my MacBook and my Linux laptop both recognize my phone but they both say its offline when I try and use a adb. Some people say they have done this root without the computer and just using the terminal on the phone but I get permission denied messages since it needs root. I have super user installed but that does me no good without root. I want to know how they got past the permission denied using the terminal on the phone?

Make sure you have USB debugging checked. Menu > settings > applications > development. This was my problem when I first tried to adb the file to the /data/tmp folder on the phone.
Also, I was getting an error at "Run /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh," but I just ignored it and kept going. It worked. You can use root checker from the market to verify that you have root.

Lol, I guess they all vanished! Funny thing is that I am not new to Linux and those are busybox commands which
1: busybox does not come installed on the factory ROM and
2: even if you install it from the market it still needs root access.

I might get flamed, but it's okay. What are the command lines for doing a system dump on the Note. I've tried performing one, but not having much luck doing it. It could be wrong commands lines. IDK.

Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
there are other ways to get a dump, like simply getting the content:
Code:
tar czvf /sdcard/system.tgz /system
both commands need root, and they are quite possibly not on the device by default, so you probably need busybox
i don't really recommend the second command, because some other blocks are mounted into the system (like the modem),
so you would get unnecessary data
Thank you very much. :thumbup:

there should be a few ext4 drivers or mount tools out there,
google, download one that looks good, and mount the image,
then you should have the drive mounted, and you should be able to access/modify the data

I know goo manager uses root permission to flash a recovery while the phone is on. So I was wondering if terminal emulator could do the same. I know this question is probably very noob-ish, but I'm curious.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
You should be able to with root permission
You think you could enlighten me on the "how to"?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Yea its the same as when u do it via command prompt just do su at the start
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Place the recovery on the root of your sd card. Make sure its not in any folders. Rename the recovery img "recovery.img" without the quotes. Then open up terminal. Type "su" without the quotes. Then when you receive the # sign, then type this
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
(and press enter)
you will now get this
#
now type
reboot recovery
and you should boot into your recovery you just flashed.

Ok, so what I'm trying to do is flash a stock recovery so I can take the ota. Does that sound feasible or am I just dreaming?

Its cool man we all been there. But as om4 posted you should always give exact details on what it is your trying to do or wanting to do. That way you get the best feedback. Also you can use the method I posted above to flash the stock recovery. However if you type the "reboot recovery" command and boot into the stock recovery you will have to hard shut down via power button to exit/reboot I believe. Not a 100% sure as I haven't seen the stock recovery since I first got this phone.

make sure that the file is in the right directory. Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding, you did extract the image file from the archive I linked?

K so I dled infection. Extracted the boot.img, and put it into a ph98img.zip. I then flashed the rom.. Said install complete and I went to hboot. It doesn't ask for an update or anything.... Then stays on the white HTC screen when I try to reboot..
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Check to make sure your ph98img.zip isn't a zip within a zip. Often times windows hides the extention so it reads ph98img.zip but it's really ph98img.zip.zip
Also you'll need an updater script so the hboot knows what the file is. You can find this by pulling it from a working ph98img.zip like one from an RUU or kernel (joelz's bamf kernel has one)

If you have an ADB folder set up (with fastboot) you should be able to just "fastboot flash boot.img" That would save you a lot of hassle if you remain s-on.
