Root Stuck on boot after changing Services.jar Help

after looking at this:

http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...change-your-clocks-color-using-metamorph.html

and trying it out it didnt work.
so for some reason i just to took the Services.jar from the lime_green folder and replaced the og Services.jar and upon rebooting my phone gets stuck on the Verizon wireless logo. i know it takes a while to reboot after changing it but ive now let it sit for about 2 hours and its still stuck. does anybody know how i could go about getting out of this delima or how i can put the og Services.jar back since i did actually back it up but cant boot far enough to shell into the phone?

Thanks in advance! :D

Boot into recovery and restore your backup.

You still have the original jar file?

If so
Reboot into recovery
in mounts enable usb and mount /system/
copy the jar to sd via usb
adb shell into your phone
unmount sdcard (disable usb)
mv /sdcard/YOURJARFILE.jar /system/WHERE IT GOES/
reboot


You will need the SDK to use adb there are instructions on getting adb and the drivers working in the rooting thread: You will need to install pdanet for the drivers and install the sdk

well actually i didnt use mm cause it didnt work. i used root explorer and just moved the services from the downloaded file into the the framework folder. ill try savoxis method and if it doesnt work then i will just restore.

Using MM is the method I tried, and resulted in a brick. I can imagine copying the service.jar would result in the same thing.

Only way I know of that definitely works is editing the services.jar yourself. Remember your rom needs to be deodexed.

alright well i still cant get it. it wont let me move the file from the sdcard to the framework folder and the clockwork recovery wont read my nan backup. idk if it has to do with the fact that i made the backup in a different recovery or not but its still not letting me recover. i tried factory resetting from the recovery menu and it says successful but when i reboot its still doing it!!!!

EDIT: Fixed it!!!! thanks for yalls help
