Can you not use another root method like unrevoked?

No, the HTC Gratia shipped with Froyo 2.2 and HTC Sense and the HBOOT loader has been modified so that Unrevoked will no longer work. There is currently no permanent rooting solution for the unbranded Aria/Gratia that are running HTC Froyo 2.2.
That's unfortunate, I would think htc would know that some people buy android phones to avoid these kind of problems.

There has been no progress on finding a rooting solution for the Aria/Gratia 2.2 ROMs. Without root it appears that there is no way to flash the required fonts on your phone.

Copying fonts needs to be done with the /system partition mounted Read/Write. On a rooted phone, this is done by booting into ClockworkMod recovery mode and mounting the system partition and then you can use "adb push" command to copy fonts to your phone. Although you can gain temporary root, I don't think you can mount the /system partition in R/W mode.

Hi bro
Finally I succeed to root my Gratia. I copied some Arabic fonts to system/fonts directory in R/W Mounted Mode. But there are no changes and like before Arabic words shows separated!!!
Is there any spacial fonts or method to copy fonts into fonts directory?
I use cyanogen mod 7. Works great with Arabic support. Correctly formats and connects letters and the keyboard works nice.

Yep! But unfortunately this Rom doesn't have htc sense!!

Yes. Every Aria ROM works on Gratia.
I may have edited something wrong in build.prop and now my phone won't load after the SONY logo. I would push a stock build.prop if I had CWM but apparently I lost that after following steps to root JB with locked bootloader. All I have now is fastboot and flash mode.
Is there any way to push a file and set permissions using one of these modes? I can reflash ICS and do everything all over again but if I could just push a stock build.prop I think I can avoid the long way.
PS. Can I also get help putting CWM on this phone? I wanna keep bootlock 'coz I'm a purist like that. Lol! :silly:
do any of these modes support mounting \system and \data ??

No, but fastboot can flash an update.zip according to a wiki. I don't think that's the same as a regular flashable zip is it?
Bump 'coz it's really getting tiring to reflash from zero when just one file needs editing.

Have you managed to solve this?

I ended up with reflashing only SYSTEM partition via Flashtool (don't forget to uncheck "Wipe DATA"). You are going to loose any modification of "/system" (e.g. root) but at least you won't loose your settings, apps and data.
How do i access /system of my rom on my computer ??

Es works. You need to go to settings-tools-root explorer-mount R/W and mount system as writeable

Crash could happen because you don't have enough memory. I did it for some system files on my phone and it always worked fine. But I always deleted the files I wanted to replace first

I would imagine adb would be your best option

Oh GOD seriously?
Man you cannot replace the WHOLE system in any way except from recovery or bootloader...........NO ADB NO ES NOTHING will work.
ADB is feature that relies in the system of android. And when replacing the WHOLE system, the files needed for adb to work cannot change as they are in use, or if they change your phone will crash.
You can in no way change necessary system files while android is booted up beacause they are in use. Your whole operating system is in /system. Only recovery or bootloader will do.

Im pretty sure you can't. ADB commands does not work in fastboot and vice-versa. ADB only works in Android environment AFAIK. Though you can use fastboot flash commands and not adb push....
Gotcha, thanks for clearing that up.:thumbup:

Yes, as long as they are not needed for the system to function properly. You can replace them with ES or Push them via ADB with root access.

I mounted as rw when I did an even tried this method: drag files to any folder on your internal memory. boot into recovery, mount data n system, go to file manager n look for your files, click on the files n move it to system/font. wipe cache, reboot

Get Rom toolbox and go to the interface section and click on fonts. Now click Local fonts. Now you want to find the font you want on your SD card and install them in a click. So Simple. Much Easy. Fast. Such amazement. Wow. (Doge meme hahaha)

It is generally not possible to perform file changes through fastboot/bootloader. To do so, you need to have a runtime environment such as TWRP. Bootloader/fastboot generally only handles partition images.

It mentions using ADB, which can only be used either through system or recovery.

Not through bootloader or fastboot. You can dump an image, edit it, and reflash it, but this would all be much more complicated than using TWRP, which would allow you to mount the partition as r+w so you can effect the edit you want.

Details like this are beneficial when asking questions.
The short answer to your original question is no, what you want to do is not possible.
is your bootloader even unlockable?
