Forgot to rename framework-res.apk after I themed - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yeah um I was changing some things in framework-res.apk and I forgot to change it back and now my phone just stays on the boot animation.
I have a rooted Sony Xperia m5 and I would like to know is there anyway that I can somehow access the phones folders while its in this state so I can rename it or just something to get it going again without losing all of my data because I have something kind of important on it. Any help is appreciated

If you have root then just use ADB to rename the file. There are plenty of tut on how to do this.

That is just a driver issue. If it is installed them remove it and reinstall it.

Download mode is what you need to be in. Also helps alot if your in a Linux os

I put it into download mode and when I type adb devices it just stays blank but if I turn it on and it stays at the boot animation it comes up but says unauthorised and I'm on Windows 10
Would it help if I flashed twrp or no?

Your pictures should be on your SD and unaffected, but without root I'd say goodbye to your messages.

I think, without root, you can't view /data, but you can try.
If you can, the sms should be located in this .xml: er /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
Then backup it via adb, reflash your rom and replace the file with the backuped one.
If you can't access /data, maybe you can root/flash cwm to your phone too, if it's bootloped? (Phone specific, so I don't know.)
Good luck.

Connect your phone to your computer, start adb shell and type in su and then cd data
If you can view the directory by typing in ls you should be able, to copy the .xml to your computer.
Sorry for the late reply.^^

You have to open cmd.exe and navigate to the location, where the adb file is located.
Then type in ‘adb shell’.

when i type in adb shell, it says Error: device not found, while the phone was in the boot menu.
Is it maybe because im missing drivers? I googled a bit and now i have the driver i need, its .exe file , what should i do with this file? if i double click on it, i get an error message.

Yes, the drivers could be the problem or maybe (but I don't hope so) the phone isn't recognizable in this mode via adb.
If you're using Windows, go to the device manager and check, if there's a android thing with a exclamation, then refresh the driver of this, if it's possible. Simply via right click etc. (Of course, if the device is connected.)
And have you tried this here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15585507&postcount=2
btw: Your phone seems to don't boot up since a few days, do you don't need it? Another idea is, maybe you can backup all your files via fastboot/download mode or something else, but you'll have to post this question in the device specifically forum, because it's different on phones.
Okay, one more time good luck.

yes, in the device manager there is an android thing with a yellow exclamation. i clicked on refresh the driver and i get the window asking me where i want to get the driver from. since i have the driver in an Sd card, i´ll try that tomorrow.
well, i do need the phone, but now im using my old one. until i can finally fix this issue.
What did you mean with the Fastboot mode? when im in the boot menu, i can select Fastboot, but it wont help much, because it will just start the booting again (bootloop). but i dont know if this is what you meant with fastboot.
thanks

Okay, but you can also let Windows automaticly search the internet for the drivers.
About fastboot, I don't know if you can backup files with this. (Normally you can use this to flash boot.img etc.) And I don't know, how it works on your device, so ask in your device forum.

adb is not recognizing the device, so im giving up on recoverying the phone data. I tried a factory reset to fix the bootloop but it aint working either. So now i can only think of sending it to the Htc technical center, the phone is under warranty.

Are you talking about flashing stock rom, when you said factory reset?
If not, maybe this helps. (There's a link to flash stock rom in this thread.)

Ah ok, can you set up ADB, because it's needed to get access to your root folder.
Afterwards, you need to download this file, it's the firmware for your device https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4AdByfaH4T0WWJEQlNjeHg4bzg/edit
If you have setup your adb and it's running, extract the firmware on your desktop and go to the path "simcom77_twn_cu_ics2-ota-I968.I968.02.05.G.A-V1.0.1B04P85.zip\system\media" without quotes, and copy all the files (via adb) in your phone's /system/media/ and before doing that delete the previous files that are corrupted. After that your phone will be fixed!

Did you make a Nandroid Backup when you first Rooted the Device ? If so, Boot into Recovery. Then restore your Nandroid. If not then you can either Flash a Custom Rom, or the Stock Rom Rooted. Either should resolve your issues.

I make the bootloader to show "locked" and flashed the stock recovery!!!
Now the only thing i have to do is to s-on. It is still s-off. Is there as adb command for this? Or how to do that? Btw: I have got a HTC One

Please Help! Can I still access my files??

Hi guys!
I have made a serious mistake, and I feel so stupid! I was wondering if any you awesome people at XDA would be able to save me.
I have an LG G2 vs980 Lollipop 5.0.2
So, all I wanted to do was change my startup screen to get rid of that boring LG logo and replace it with something neater. I went over to Google and found a guide on how to do this, and followed the steps 1 by 1. Everything actually worked out perfectly, but it wasn't until after I was locked out of my phone that I realized that I had used a startup image that was not compatible with my LG G2! (Total face palm!). Now, whenever I power my phone, it flashes that "neat" image that I replaced the stock one with - before the screen goes completely blank. Not good at all.
So my question is this - Is there a way I can acess my system folder without having access to my phone? I know EXACTLY what file I need to remove/edit to solve this problem! In fact, that is what is frusturating me the most. It's not some random error message out of the blue that I know nothing about. I know exactly what the problem is, I just don't know if I have access to the solution. I just really hope I don't have to wipe everything back to stock all because of a lousy startup image.
If anybody can help me access my system folder so I can switch out the bad file for the default one, and get access to my phone again - I would be so forever grateful! Thank you in advance to anybody that can save me!
Much appreciative,
Terri (Psyintz)

I tried using this guide (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/) and when I try to run the "adb reboot bootloader" command, it says "error: device (null) not found."

In order to use adb you must have USB debugging enabled, had you have it enabled?
If not you can use lg flash tool 2014 to flash stock rom, there is a way to flash it with out wiping, by using normal mode.
Follow this guide:

Read my full post again, there is an alternative method
However, try downloading PDANet and try connecting again.

Android P dp3 and Substratum

Yes, it does in fact work.
Sorta.
Pre requisites: ROOT, File explorer of your choice that uses root and make sure in the settings to enable hidden folders.
You'll need to clear out substratum to make sure there isn't anything lingering and then select your overlay and build/enable them.
Once you do you'll need to open up your file explorer and go to
Data/media/0/.substratum
(If you don't see .substratum you didn't enable hidden folders)
You should have the overlay apks inside. Select all, copy and go to
System/app
And paste your apks inside of it then reboot.
Once your phone boots back up go into substratum and inside of the manager you should see your overlays. Select them and enable them! You may have to reboot for the overlays to properly work as usual
Aaaaaand Substratum already has a beta working! https://play.google.com/apps/testing/projekt.substratum/join
Happy modding!
So far themes that work:
Pi Dark: System, GPS, Settings, and System UI work flawlessly
Swift Dark/Black: All apps except for system/UI work
Sai's Oreo Theme: Android system (stock blue only) System UI and QS tiles only!! Anything else will cause your phone to bootloop. You'll need to boot into twrp, mount storage and go into your system/system/app folder and delete the APK's that caused it to loop
Gave it a shot... Long story short.... Bootloop..... Reflashed factory image.
My stupid fault. I followed directions from another source. May try again after the next update.
so i tried this yesterday and got into a bootloop. followed directions and all but now my phone doesnt connect to my laptop when i plug it in via usb. so now i'm not able to use fasboot to flash the imgs. im running out of ideas to try.

I did see the apks I removed 3 of them and rebooted. That didn't do nothing. Still boot looping and now it's just stuck at the TWRP bootup screen. And my laptop wasn't seeing my phone when plugged in. I tried numerous computers. I did a RMA yesterday. It was unlocked from VZW so I know the replacement will end my rooting and having fun with the phone.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I have the latest 997 version and I checked to make sure it was installing the apk's into the system folder. I'm using pi dark by the way

I would clear everything out, uninstall and reinstall substratum and try reapplying the overlay. Reboot, re apply the overlay and it should come up in the manager section in substratum

Do you have your stock image on your phone? You could wipe it and flash the stock image through twrp

Unfortunately it's bootlooping to TWRP and stuck on TWRP splash screen. I think she's done now. R.I.P. lol
