I was trying to change the notification bar by replacing framework-res.apk in system\framework folder. As soon as I copied the new one, my phone keeps rebooting. I keep the original copy of framwork-res.apk under \sdcard folder and I think just copying the original file back to system\framework folder will solve this. However, because of automatic rebooting, I can't connect the phone from pc to use adb from the PC or root exploer on the phone.
When I boot my phone with recover mode (volume key + power button), it only gives me 4 options.
Reboot system now
reinstall package
delete all user data
delete cash data
When I select reinstall package, it looked for update.zip that I don't have in my phone now. I'm really stuck.
Anyone knows how to copy the file into system folder in this case or reset to the factory rom?
I really appreciate for your help.
ADB should work in recovery mode.
If adb don't work try odin flash back to original

I am about to replace some system files that I created. I have no ide if they are created properly, so just in case everything goes wrong I need to figure out a way to get the original system files in place.
Can this be done if the phone wont boot properly? If it get into a boot loop or something, can I still access system files and replace the broken files and make it work again?
You can use adb if you have usb debugging enabled
Wrong section.
If you are unfamiliar with ADB, you can also just boot into download mode and flash your original ROM again using ODIN.
I have never testet ADB. But if it will let me replace the files without having to wipe my phone I will take a look at it.
So if my phone is in debugging mode before I replace the system files I can connect using odin and flash the original stock rom again and everything will be back to normal? Not sure, but I think I read somewhere that by flashing with stock rom it wont affect the files in the system folder. I guess thats wrong since there are many files in the system folder that are changed during an update.
If I choose to re-flash, will my phone be wiped then, or will my programs and settings till be in place?
So i edited the android info.txt file in PH198. Now when I try to boot my phone into bootloader, it comes up with a screen saying volume up for update, volume down for no update, and then I just have to power off. Any suggestions?
Edit: Sorry if I was unclear, but when I update, my phone gets stuck on the white HTC screen.
Edit: I got it working thanks for the advice guys

Umm it's supposed to do that to load the kernel. Then you boot up to your rom and first thing delete that file off the SD card
Just boot up Rom like normal then delete using a file explorer like es file or root explorer. If it won't reboot to your rom, then pull battery remove sd card and boot . Once your booted up then reinstall SD card and delete the ph file.

What are you flashing? There's a lot of renaming things to the PHzip file name.
Actually, in any case, if you are being asked for update you should press volume up to select update, then if it says to press the power button that should be your "yes" answer to allow it to proceed. I think it says that.
Then once it is done reboot the phone if it didn't do it already and, as mjh68 mentioned above, use a file explorer like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer to delete that PHzip file. Then you should be good to go. Or you can then connect to your pc and delete the file that way, or power down and take the card out and put it in the pc and delete the file. If you don't delete that file then every time you boot up your phone it will go to flash it again.

I am flashing CleanRom 2.3 except with the nonstandard kernel. I will try removing the microsd and putting back the standard kernel then updating again. Thanks
EDIT: When I boot my phone it goes straight to the update screen not to the bootloader. Is there any way to boot the phone into recovery with my computer?
If you have a backup, and have adb just type adb reboot recovery to restore or wipe and flash a new Rom. Make sure the Rom matches the kernel

Hi guys,
So I stupidly deleted a system app from the device, and now it's stuck in a reboot loop.
It will switch on, become recognized by the PC, so I can view internal storage, but then it reboots before I can do anything else.
Is there anything at all I can do?
Thanks for any input guys.
Find the apk file that you deleted on Amazon's website, and then adb push it back to /system/app. Hard power off, then boot into recovery and factory reset.

Good answer.
You may also want to try using an app called qtADB from linux. It is a GUI for ADB & a few other tools that will allow you to compare an extracted rom (the .bin) on your desktop with the contents of your device partitions. It is kinda an ADB for idiots, so I use it frequently when quickly trying to recreate & recover bricks.
Hello,
Does anyone know how create a very simple "updater.zip" file that does nothing except run the "set_perm_recursive" function and set the "/storage/sdcard0/DCIM" folder and all files/folders under it to 777?
I recently screwed up my wife's phone trying to install an app, and didn't have a backup. Now it is stuck on the bootup image screen and won't finish booting up. I am trying to download her photos.
I connected using ADB pull, but since I don't have root on the phone... I don't have permissions to access the /storage/sdcard0/DCIM folder.
So I thought it might be possible to create a simple "updater.zip" script that I can run from the recovery screen, which would give world read/write permissions to the /storage/sdcard0/DCIM folder. Then I can use ADB pull to get a copy of all her pictures to my computer.
Thanks for any help!
Hello all. this all started when i was editing build.prop to download an app in the store that was incompatible with my device.
I was editing my build.prop file on my note 2 (tmobile) and i was smart enough to make a copy before doing that, i just copied it to a random place the "downloads" folder, seemed like an easy place to remember.
After failing at editing the build.prop and getting the app i wanted, i decided to put the original build.prop back in the system folder and just give up.
Well im not sure what happened here, i think i deleted the edited one and tried to paste the original one, when i rebooted my phone, it wont boot up, screen wont come on when it boots up, etc.
now i know there is a good copy of build.prop in the downloads folder so for the past hour ive been trying to get that and place it in the system folder, im a complete noob to adb, which is what im using to try and poke around in there, but im horrible with the commands, and cant LOCATE the "downloads" folder, where i was planning on pulling the build.prop file, and then pushing it to the system folder.
I cant find online what the folder structure is like, and i cant view it because my phone wont start.
Can someone PLEASE help me getting to the downloads folder in adb, the command to pull the build.prop file, and then getting to the system folder (i have root access and everything) and pushing the build.prop file into there.
I think that should solve my problem, id even give 5 bucks on paypal or something if someone can give me an easy list of commands i need to do in adb.
THanks in advance everyone. I hope this is in the right subforum.

i dont know if its in /data/downloads or /sdcard/downlads or what, its so hard without being able to see what folders are where. none of them seem to work.
If i cant get to that file and copy it into its home, i suppose i can always reflash.

I have CWM recovery, and i have odin installed on my computer, I dont have an external sd card, only the "internal" one if that makes sense.
I just need to get to the downloads folder in adb. my phone isnt showing up in mycomputer when i am in recovery mode or odin mode it seems.
Bro u will have to flash a advanced touch recobery like philz.falsh it using odin.
Heres the detailed procedure.
Download these files
1) Unzip Odin3-v1.85.zip
2) Open the 'Odin3 v1.85.exe' file
3) Install samsung drivers
4) Put phone in download mode by powering off and holding volume up + volume down while plugging the phone into the computer
5) You should now see the first square in Odin turn yellow and say "Ready"
6) Click on the pda tab in Odin and select the recovery.tar.md5 you downloaded
7) Click start and wait for your phone to reboot
8) Done!

If you're using a custom ROM, the easiest thing to do would be to do a "dirty" flash of your ROM (no system wipe via recovery, only your cache). You won't lose any user data but things like the build.prop would be restored.
It also helps to have a backup so that you can simply restore it via recovery when trouble arises.
