I rooted my micromax p275 and wanted to change its font by replacing /system/fonts/Roboto-Regular.ttf with my desired font but i accidentally replaced it with Robot.Regular.ttf. Now it doesn't starts. I want to push another font file in /system/fonts with the correct name (Roboto-Regular.ttf) but it doesn't works saying permission denied. I have tried su command but it just reprints the same commands i type and press enter and thus doing nothing. Any way out friends. I would be greatly helped by you. Every single hint is wanted.

  • When you say you want to push another font file, are you referring through adb push? That too from recovery?? – Bharat G Oct 28 '15 at 21:13
  • Yes, but is there any other way. See I just want a Roboto-Regular.ttf in /system/fonts, whatever might be the way – Saqib Oct 30 '15 at 16:30
  • You can just a recovery flashable zip modified to include your neccessary file. And then flash it through recovery. Your post doesn't mention anything about your device having a custom recovery, Do you have custom recovery installed? – Bharat G Oct 30 '15 at 18:04
  • No, i don't have it installed. – Saqib Nov 02 '15 at 12:47
  • Please describe a little about custom recoveries. – Saqib Nov 02 '15 at 12:56

If you have a backup font file and adb is working, then you can just do adb remount and try pushing the backup font again. This command is just a shortcut for adb shell mount -o remount.rw /system, which remounts /system as writable.

If adb remount doesn't work, then run adb root and try again. (i.e., run adb root, adb remount, and adb push /path/to/backup/Roboto-Regular.ttf /system/fonts/, in that order). I'm not sure how picky adb is about telling it to use root.
