Ok i need some suggestions.
i have an unlock-able boot loader but have rooted.
out of boredom i figured i would change my fonts and copied them with file explorer, made sure permissions were set to rw-r-r.
now im stuck in a boot loop, i'm guesing it's because i'm on a stock ics rom.
my hardware is xperia s, rogers is my carrier, i'm rooted running ics.
is my fear of having to reinstall true? or is there another way to fix this?
thanks

is ADB on if so you could adb shell and dd them back in during the bootup i have recovered like this before
Pvy.
Adb = fastboot=anytime..but Fastboot method? U cld try but I prefer reinstalling a fresh ftf..in dis way u won't have even da slightest possibility of error occlusion as ur SEUS didn't work either so I prefer, reflash. U can try by goin to fastboot mode and push ur system.sin file through adb..see If it works

If you re-flash then you will loose your root access but you can always gain it back. You just need to download the kernel (ICS/GB have different kernel) then flash it through fastboot. Though, if you want to keep ur stock kernel a.k.a ICS/GB kernel then u can do it too. Just let us know which one you want to do and we can guide u through :highfive:

this so sucks, i flashed gb instead of ics (i was on ics), so alot of force closes.:silly:
so i immediately flashed ics wiping the phone. now i have no root and the 3 step root is not working.
i guess i need to start all over right, go back to gb and then to ics?
i think i will now try another rom like XcreaM or maybe muiu..

U dont need to go over GB to get ICS!! u can just flash ICS and root it . Am using 6.1.A.2.45 Generic NL stock firmware with custom KA v6 kernel and both of them are working pretty nicely without any hitch so far. Anywayz, heres what you do if you have an unlocked bootloader. Dial *#*#7378423#*#* to check your Bootloader status
Flash Firmware:
#Download stock ICS Firmware from here as an ftf.zip file. (I recommend 6.1.A.2.45 Generic NL)
#Downlaod and install latest Flashtool, unzip the ftf file and save the ftf file over at the 'firmware' folder in Flashtool.
#Connect your phone via usb to pc and let flashtool recongnize it
#Click the Thunder button in flashtool and choose Flashmode.
#Choose the ftf file. Dont click or touch anything else. Hit OK
#The flashtool will ask you to disconnect your phone.
#Disconnect your phone from usb. Turn it off.
#Hold down Power+Volume Down and connect the phone via usb to the pc. Green led (flashmode) will light up.
#Flashtool will automatically start flashing the new firmware.
#After finished flashing the firmware. Take it off from the usb and Reboot.
#Let our phone boot then go to Settings>Developer Options>tick right USB debugging (MUST)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
U'll need the below fastboot binaries and ANY ONE kernel to root your ICS (Any one)
#Fastboot Binaries (MUST)
#Xperia SSpeed v6 1.89GHz (KERNEL) (Highly Recommended if u want overclocked CPU, am using it and its clear and totally bug free)
or
#Advanced Kernel Build 14 (KERNEL)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HOW TO ROOT:
1st Step:
#Download 7zip
#Right click on the ftf file which you have just flashed.
#Choose 7zip > Open archive
#Select just the kernel.sin file
#Click extract and save the file anywhere in desktop.
#Unzip the kernel folder (xsspeed or advanced kernel) that you have downloaded. Copy the kernel.elf file.
#Unzip and open the FASTBOOT BINARY folder. Go to 'fastboot' folder and paste the kernel.elf file
#Turn of your phone.
#Press Power Button+Volume UP Key and connect your phone via usb to your pc. BLUE led will light up (fastboot mode)
#The fastboot folder opened. Click 'SHIFT+RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON'
#Choose 'OPEN COMMAND WINDOW HERE' and you will get windows command prompt.
#Type the following command to check if device is connected.
Code:
fastboot devices
#Now flash the kernel
Code:
fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
#Now reboot from fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After the reboot, your phone will be rooted and will use custom kernel :highfive:
GETTING BACK TO STOCK KERNEL WITH ROOT ACCESS:
#Open Flashtool
#Turn off your phone and get into fastboot mode (Power+Volume UP then connect the phone via usb to pc. Blue led will turn on)
#Click the Thunder button and choose FASTBOOT
#Click 'Select Kernel To Flash'
#Choose the kernel.sin file that you have extracted earlier from the ftf file and saved earlier in your desktop.
#Reboot.

thanks for the guide.
now i'm back to ics and running Xcream (cool), with cwm & root. But without an unlocked boot-loader no extra tweaks for me. damn you rogers for locking my boot-loader.
so maybe you can help with a question. i have made a few themes for my older phones xperia x10, xperia play, htc raider, htc evo 3d. and really want to do the same for my xperia s.
now i have been reading and have the latest apk tool with the updates of apk tool jar and the aapt.exe.
i still can't recompile systemui.apk. and from what i'm reading you can't touch the framework res. now i'm use to using adb to push all my files to my phone.
so as the thread title said i was trying to change the font. and this caused a bootloop.
do you know of a guide or list of things we can tweak?
thanks

First thing coming on my mind is - do you have flashtool so you can flash official ICS for your phone?
If so flash official ICS via Flashtool, that will wipe everything.

Buddy, if your bootloader is unlocked, you dont need to do it again, it will be unlocked again.
Flash global ICS stock, fastboot mujeni's recovery in Sola section and thats it.

Edit: Whoops, it's Xperia U. Go check their development. There's one there somewhere
First get your phone in order, then think about flashing custom roms.
Anyways:
Power + Volume up till you feel 3 vibrations
Then quickly press vol down, shove USB into port.
You should be in flashboot. Flash ftf file via Flashtools.

No. You need to flash boot.img inside zip, kernel is there. Flash via fastboot.
