While attempt to install http://slimics.haxer.org/Slim_ICS/Addons_Mods/AdditionalFonts.zip over the existing installed Slim ICS 4.0.4, I found CWM Recovery unable to replace/overwrite anything inside the /system/fonts folder. What am doing wrong?

Hi all,
Can anyone please help me share my internet connection from my laptop to my Samsung Galaxy3 running Android 2.2?
I tried Connectify, Virtual Router and mHotspot but none of them work.
In case of mHotspot, I watched video on You Tube and done the same but I am not able to connect to that wi-fi network although I am able to find it by turning on my android mobile's wi-fi..
In case of Connectify and Virtual Router, I am not able to find Wireless Network on my android device. Can anyone please help?
Please let me know if any other information is required.

Thanks Bane, can you please let me know, how to Flash the mod via CWM?
Also, do you know if CWM supports SG3 as I am also trying to flash my phone to install custom ROM but not able to do so via CWM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858583
please use search
In the thread that you have provided, please let me know where to look for "how to Flash the mod via CWM"
when I downloaded mod file, it asks me which application to open the file in. I selected ROM Manager, then it reboots in recovery mode...there I have four options
Reboot system now
Install sdcard: update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
which one I need to select?
I strongly advice to spend some time here in the forum and read all the FAQs and tutorials, as they will explain everything you need to know.
as the file is called wpa_adhoc-signed.zip you need to select an option that allows you to install a .zip or you need to rename the file to update.zip and select the option to install update.zip
Bane, I searched first and then asked but I am too noob to understand all this. I renamed the file to update.zip and then reboot to recovery mode. It still says the same:
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk() (or NULL)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation Aborted
You need cwm, flash a kernel that already has it(cf-root/g3mod/simplicity) or pm mumbozver for the installer
Or you can also manually copy the files although the first method will be easier

Thanks cdesai for the reply. I am using cwm and using this only, I am rebooting my phone in recovery mode. Does "flashing a kernel that already has this solution" means that I should flash my phone with a custom ROM that already has this solution implemented?
Ok
keep the adhoc file on your sd card
reboot into cwm
(use volume buttons to navigate, home to select)
choose apply zip from sd card
select the adhoc zip file
click on yes
it should work, if not then yes you can flash place the file by root explorer or flash a custom rom that already has it implemented
to manually apply the file
open the adhoc zip
open system folder
open bin folder
extract the file wpa_supplicant and keep just the file on ur sd
open root explorer and copy the file to /system/bin (replace the old one, take a backup of it - or rename it)
Are you referring to wpa_supplicant by adhoc file?
I cannot copy the extracted file to /system/bin folder as going to that folder is graying out paste option
If I try to apply it by rebooting into recovery mode, it is giving error message:
It is getting failed with the following message:
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk() (or NULL)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation Aborted
Note: I have renamed the file to update.zip and placed it in root of sdcard before rebooting it into recovery mode. Even then, I am getting this error message.
Please help me in proceeding further.
I have a GTab2 10.1, rooted with Odin.
After rooted, I opened Rom Manager, and see the Icon ClockworkMod: tapped, and oh, Rom Manager Installed versione 6.0.1.1
Then I see CyanogenMod icon, 9 and 10. I checked both, started download, Gtab rebooted but installation was aborted with an error
E:Can't open /sdcard/ clockworkmod /download/get.cm/get/jenkins/7108/cm-9.1.0-p5110.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Continued manually, and the file WAS there, in the propher path.
Tryed to flash it, but another error
E:Error in /emmc/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/get.cm/get/jenkins/7108/cm-9.1.0-p5110.zip

I downloaded the propher file cm-10-2012-08-29-NIGHTLY-p5110.zip, but same error.

1.
Have you tried to install the CM file from CWM Recovery.
I think it could be a compatibility-issue between Galaxy Tab 2 and ROM Manager.
Had the same problem as you,but it worked through CWM Recovery.
2.
You could try moving the CM file to the external memory and try flashing it from there to see if the problem persists.
Maybe it's because CWM Recovery is unable to flash the file from internal memory.
INSTRUCTIONS
First time installing CyanogenMod 9/10 to your Galaxy Tab 2, or coming from another ROM:
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM9/10 ZIPs to your internal SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9/10 zip from internal SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from internal SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET
- Reboot
- Don't restore Apps using Titanium Backup!
Upgrading from earlier version of CyanogenMod 9/10:
- Copy CM9/10 ZIP to your internal SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9/10 zip from internal SDCard
- Reboot

Flashed a rooted stock Android 4.2 ROM, root appeared to be broken so i figured rather than be late for work i'd flash my nandroid backup i did beforehand. Now recovery can't find the backup location, and under any file explorer it appears as '0' which i have to select first to view the files. Because of this CWM can't see the backup folder. HELP
That's because of the 4.2 multi-user feature, it needs to separate files of multiple users somehow, so it just moves all your files to "0" subdirectory. If you add another users, they will have their own folders.
It should be okay to just move /data/media/0/TWRP to /data/media/TWRP, either via TWRP's file manager or via adb shell while in recovery:
Code:
mv /data/media/0/TWRP /data/media/

Haha, I thought I was the only one! I thought I had partitioned my card somehow. I basically did the same thing as you. I also am running CWM. Its making Rom flashing almost impossible for me, I can only select & flash files from the SD "O". All my nandroids are on the regular SD selection. Did you ever find you answer Matt.?

I've problems installing CM11 and a user recommended me this but i dont know how to intall it :/ help?
Download the recovery
Save it to wherever you want.
Make sure the image name is recovery.img, rename if needed.
Download any root file manager, which can mount and show hidden folders.
Mount /.cust_backup as rw.
Copy and replace recovery.img from SD card to /.cust_backup/image/recovery.img
there's no /.cust_backup on my phone :/ do you know any other way to install google apps without flashing it?

Do you have a /cust folder? If yes that's the same as /.cust_backup.
So Hello everyone, i got interesting problem...
I bricked my phone
Phone: SM-9005
OS: Android 4.4.2
Firmware: N9005XXUGNG1
Recovery: TWRP 3.0 installed.
Root software installed which may be interesting "Xposed Additions, Lucky Patcher, SuperSu, Greenify"
Step by step.
// maybe helpful - cache / dalvik cache wiped and after reboot i started playing stuff
I used Root Browser (com.jrummy.root.browserfree) to copy 2 directories from my /downloads to /system.
There were /lib & /bin which contained unique libs and one executable so this would not affect system if everything went ok, but i didn't
After i started coping, root explorer asked me that "File already exist, overwrite or make a copy"? i pressed overwrite, in same second all apps in android started to generate "unexpected error", i tried to reboot and got boot into recovery
after i watched /system i found that what i tried to copy actually copied not to /system/lib & /system/app but to /system/system/lib & /system/system/app.
So i think there was some folder or file called system in /system directory which was overwritten. Or any kind of problem with dir / file permissions.
Any ideas of how to fix this / what was in /system/system / where to get bootlog to find after what "kernel panic" takes place or any other help?
Thanks.
// maybe somebody with same model version, same os version can upload zip file of own /system folder without /apps, /priv-apps and build.prop so i can compare whats lost compared to my data?
Fixed myself, root browser set wrong permissions to /system while was coping files... set back to 755 and it works
