Phone stuck in bootloop due to HiFont My phone has stuck in a bootloop when it rebooted after installing a font using HiFont. I have tried HiFont many times, it works well. It is for the first time it happened. The phone boots up and shows the whole animation but gets stuck on the last frame. Please suggest me a good solution.


Android version: 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
Mobile manufacturer: Micromax
Rooted
Model: Bolt A61


Hard reset and wipe cache partition are not working. Typing ls in adb shell inside the /system/font gives the following output
Since you have access to ADB with root, you can easily remove the font you installed using this command:

rm /system/fonts/xxxxx.TTF


If you don't have the slightest clue which fonts were yours, you can actually sort ls output by date modified, as so:

ls -tr


...which will show the most recent fonts at top, given the modified dates are correct.

If your most recent font is of the Roboto family, that means your customizer app replaced the default font! You'll have to write down the exact filename, remove it, and cp another font (eg. Arial) and rename it to the same filename. Of course, none of this will be needed if you have a device backup. Just copy the originals.

Hope this solves your problem!
