[Q] Restore Systems Fonts from Fastboot - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Everyone,
I have a Nexus 4 with Android 4.3, had unlocked and rooted my phone.
I tried to install a new Font with Font Installer and now my phone is stuck on boot screen after restarting.
I don't want to flash it and lose all my data, so is there any way to update all my fonts to the Default fonts without flashing it and going through all the process again??
Please help..

Flashed my device
Well, couldn't wait much longer. Flashed my device..
Stock ROM,
Root access,
twrp recovery
Will keep backups from now on to avoid such hassles.

Problems after 4.3

Hi,
after rooting and before installing my first ROM I installed CWM
as my custom recovery and made a whole backup. Now using Cyanogenmod
for some time I decided to restore the Backup I made before, to install JB 4.3
Restoring worked fine but now, when trying to go into recovery mode
there is this red little bang with the green android guy. Also when I try using
apps that need root access they won't work even if fastboot mode says
my phone is unlocked. The root seems to be gone.
I tried installing CWM again using the N-Cry toolkit, but nothing changed.
Please, please help !

[Q] Boot animation stopping kitkat update

Hi all!!
On my Nexus 7 2012 (rooted) I'm running android 4.3 rom and I'm trying to manually update it to the new 4.4. It's not letting me flash the update because I changed the boot animation, and (of course) I forgot to backup the stock animation before adding the new one. I downloaded the stock "X" animation from someone and replaced the old one with the stock animation, but it still comes up with an error. Is there any way I can get it back to it's unaltered state so the update won't flag it as a problem? Also, if that's the only thing I altered and I can get it back to normal, can I just wait for the OTA update?
Other info:
Running M-Kernel
Using TWRP
Thanks!!
Same here
Download the factory image for 4.4 and flash it over adb, can't go wrong with that. Only thing is you'll have to re-root and reflash TWRP after that.

+1 on flashing the factory image via ADB - easy enough to re-install Custom Recovery & then Root by pushing SU v1.69
Otherwise, if running TWRP - look here, download the zip file and flash it from Recovery (first, full wipe - cache, dalvik & factory reset) - it will bring you to KitKat 4.4 (KRT16O)
There is a minor update (1.4MB in size) to KRT16S - flash it next once it's downloaded, and, then, reinstall TWRP and then root it.
Setup tablet, restore google account & customize home screen - enjoy.
Backup important files & data first, as always.

I have discovered that I need it too because my phone is loked and, to enter my carrier unlock code, i need to restore my backup made with CWM.
Looking for the same.
Yesterday i have installed 2ndInit to get back CWM recovery and restore my original stock ROM image.
Android can not complete the full boot, showing the intro of my carrier during a hour while loading Android.
Reinstalled TWRP and recovered my CM11 backup.
I will try again and, if not suceded, i will flash my carrier SBF to unlock my phone.
I will inform any news about CWM restore stock ROM.

I think this happens because the roms use different file systems
Try the Aroma Wiper to change the file system:

I'll try this, but now i'm without time, then i report if it work.
I got my phone working.

STUCK!!

My Samsung note 3 Sm-N9006 was already rooted when I bought it, though it doesnt have CWM/TWRP and SuperSu. However, all rooted apps are working. So I really want to change the phone's font so I downloaded Font installer *root*, because no font style is available in the settings. However, after I installed a font from the app, it prompted me to reboot my system, I clicked it and when it boots, its already stuck on the samsung logo.
pllzz help
Try installing some custom recovery, do backup and then try full wipe. If it doesn't help try with installing ROM via Odin

[Q] N910G won't boot after TWRP restore?

Hi All,
Just wondering what's going on with my phone - it's a Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910G with Optus Australia.
Here's the situation:
I rooted my phone using Chainfire method from 5.1.1 Optus firmware.
Then, I installed TWRP, backed up all partitions (INCLUDING EFS).
After that, installed Cyanogenmod. Holy damn, I need to go back to stock...
so...
I booted back into TWRP
I reset phone as usually would to restore/install ROM.
I restored firmware backup in TWRP.
Reboot to system
-- BOOTLOOP --
happens every time i try to restore, and the only way I can use my phone right now is to reflash Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightlies onto it - which have problems (such as I cannot reboot with CM12.1 because if I do after installing it, the phone app breaks and I cannot get past anything because of toast message "com.android.phone" has stopped..., so then only way to get it to work again is to reflash CM12.1 again - this happens about twice daily...)
-- -- PLEASE HELP!
What happens to TWRP backups that mean i cannot restore my stock backup without it bootlooping? and why can devs not post a clean stock flashable ZIP copy of stock firmwares? Its great having all these mods, but how about something that doesn't require umpteen thousand bloody applications to reflash your phone with? Whatever happened to a simple ZIP? when I see ZIPs, devs see thanks buttons being pushed!
-- THANKS

This http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/n910c-to-stock-rom-cm13-t3321132 :good:
One possible solution is to flash the appropriate stock rom via odin. After booting, install twrp and root your phone. After this you can restore your previously saved stock rom via twrp.

Sorry no help from me but I have a similar problem. At some point mine quit booting to TWRP and I got a huge OTA update a few days ago and every time I try to boot into recovery it ends up in Stock Recovery only after going to little android saying installing updates(it fails & eventually goes to stock recovery.) I did a reset and still have 5.1.1 installed and still have the same behavior.
I have the professional version of the unified toolkit and it says if it is still booting into stock recovery select options 7, 3 which I did but it didn't fix the problem. I think what's getting me is it thinks there are still system updates to install.
