Guest lovetide Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 When I symbolic linked /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf and /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf to /HWUserData/fonts/simsun.ttc, the phone can reboot successfully, and I can see the default fonts are changed as expected: ############################## # This one is still working ############################## sh-4.2# ls -l ls -l total 5536 -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 6880 Dec 3 10:11 Clockopia.ttf lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 28 Dec 22 01:48 DroidSans-Bold.ttf -> /HWUserData/fonts/simsun.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 194488 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSans-Bold.ttf.bak lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 28 Dec 22 01:43 DroidSans.ttf -> /HWUserData/fonts/simsun.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 190776 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSans.ttf.bak -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 622280 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSansArabic.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 3725920 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSansFallback.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 23076 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSansHebrew.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 119380 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSansMono.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 36028 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSansThai.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 185228 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSerif-Bold.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 190304 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 177560 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSerif-Italic.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 172916 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSerif-Regular.ttf lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 26 Dec 21 10:31 msyh.ttc -> /HWUserData/fonts/msyh.ttc lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 28 Dec 21 10:31 msyhbd.ttc -> /HWUserData/fonts/msyhbd.ttc lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 28 Dec 21 10:31 simhei.ttf -> /HWUserData/fonts/simhei.ttf lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 28 Dec 21 10:31 simsun.ttc -> /HWUserData/fonts/simsun.ttc Then, I symbolic linked all fonts to /HWUserData/fonts/***, reboot, then phone is stucked at Huawei logo screen. sh-4.2# ls -l ############################## # This one make the phone can't boot (this 'ls' result is saved before reboot) ############################## ls -l total 5536 -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 6880 Dec 3 10:11 Clockopia.ttf lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 10 Dec 22 02:16 DroidSans-Bold.ttf -> simsun.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 194488 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSans-Bold.ttf.bak lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 10 Dec 22 02:16 DroidSans.ttf -> simsun.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 190776 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSans.ttf.bak lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 8 Dec 22 02:17 DroidSansArabic.ttf -> msyh.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 622280 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSansArabic.ttf.bak lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 8 Dec 22 02:19 DroidSansFallback.ttf -> msyh.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 3725920 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSansFallback.ttf.bak lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 8 Dec 22 02:19 DroidSansHebrew.ttf -> msyh.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 23076 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSansHebrew.ttf.bak lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 8 Dec 22 02:19 DroidSansMono.ttf -> msyh.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 119380 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSansMono.ttf.bak lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 8 Dec 22 02:19 DroidSansThai.ttf -> msyh.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 36028 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSansThai.ttf.bak lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 10 Dec 22 02:14 DroidSerif-Bold.ttf -> simsun.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 185228 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSerif-Bold.ttf.bak lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 10 Dec 22 02:14 DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf -> simsun.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 190304 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf.bak lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 10 Dec 22 02:15 DroidSerif-Italic.ttf -> simsun.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 177560 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSerif-Italic.ttf.bak lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 10 Dec 22 02:13 DroidSerif-Regular.ttf -> simsun.ttc -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 172916 Dec 3 10:11 DroidSerif-Regular.ttf.bak lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 26 Dec 21 10:31 msyh.ttc -> /HWUserData/fonts/msyh.ttc lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 28 Dec 21 10:31 msyhbd.ttc -> /HWUserData/fonts/msyhbd.ttc lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 28 Dec 21 10:31 simhei.ttf -> /HWUserData/fonts/simhei.ttf lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 28 Dec 21 10:31 simsun.ttc -> /HWUserData/fonts/simsun.ttc I can use 'adb' to get shell, but 'su' command failed with "Segmentation fault", so I can't undo these symbolic links. :( 'adb logcat' show a lot of logs which I don't understand it: http://pastebin.com/a3Ar1XvK Any chance to revive this phone?

Thanks Jetba, I've re-upgrade 2.3.5 again to revive this phone, some data are lost (I use third-party backup tool which not covered all data). Just be curious why make some symbolic fonts links will cause this happend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be curious why make some symbolic fonts links will cause this happend I don't know, because i don't know much about linux. maybe you should copy all files from font, paste them to hwuserdata and then link font folder to it? i don't know, but i would quess so.

I don't know for sure, but I think there are some folders/files that may be referenced by partition or possibly uuid as they are important system files. Possibly linking breaks that reference. You cant link fonts on the u8150 either, I have tried! The names are also important. You need to rename the font you are changing to to the same as the font you are wanting to change. EG: if you have an ubuntu font you want to substitute for droid sans, you need to rename your font to Droidsans.ttf. You must pay attention to upper/lower case too, rename needs to be exact. I have changed the default fonts on my phone by renaming my chosen fonts to the android names and replacing them in the fonts directory.
