Hello ladies and gents. As you may have been able to tell from the title, I made a huge mistake when playing around with my phone's build.prop file. I had tapped on the ro.build.description file and it pulled up the keyboard. I accidentally input an "r", so I deleted it, then saved and left the prop file, thinking everything was fine and proper. Unfortunately, that was not so. Upon my next reboot, I discovered several problems. The Playstore and gallery crash upon every open, and even worse, my internal memory isn't being recognized. I know the problems must be originating from the build description prop file, since that was the only prop file change that had happened since my last reboot. If anyone could give any tips on how to fix this or mount the external sd as internal, that would be wonderful. I need to be able to screnshot, install apps, and perform other functions that require internal storage. Please help me out ASAP.

extract the build.prop file from your rom.zip
make a flashable zip & flash it. will work normal again
(ifm u dont know how to make flashable zip, just get any flashable mod,
extract all files, delete all files , only leave the meta-inf folder with its data inside untouched & a folder called "system",
put build.prop into system folder, now mark both folders --> right click --> send to zip, put on sd & flash)
good luck!

Alright then. I have 2 questions though. Does the flash mod I use have to be specifically for my phone's model? And what do you mean by marking the folders?

I'm really sorry, but I don't know what you mean by my Rom. Generally, I'm pretty knowledgeable about my Android, but I've only been rooted for about a week. If by rom you mean like ClockworkMod or something, I'm just on my stock rom. If you mean something else, I don't know. And which slot in Odin would put this in? I only have experience with .tar and .md5.

sorry my llate reply, lets go
he bro u know whats the rom ) you say you are on stock rom, thats all i need.
clockwork mod is no rom, its a recovery.
sorry was a small hazzle for me as you use the AT&T version of the phone, now to the solution:
we need to just replace the damaged build prop with original one.
1. download the system image here: http://www.mrcrab.net/viewstockrom/19845-sm-g730a.html (or anywhere if u find, maybe at SAMMOBILE)
2. (try) to extract the parts of it, we need the system image. if u dont know how just google it, maybe some tools needed for diffrent kind of datas. once all extracted the build.prop is inside system (-folder). copy it to SD & replace via any ROOT explorer, set the right permissions, like in this pic LINK, reboot done.
if you CANT extract that image, make you ready for completly new install of your ROM.

i use slimkat 4.4.4 by android-andi on SGS3 Mini (i8190n).
1. using root explorer, changing perm on the first / (the root dir, i believe).
2. this one is new problem, nothing to do with our recent dialogs, hope can get some idea on this one.
yesterday, i install android tweaker app, and set the auto system/device tweak( can't remember exact) and reboot my device
to apply the setting. and got stuck on boot animation (blinking 'SAMSUNG' anim, after the 'GT I8190N' image on ori ROM). it
didn't loop (no bootloop), just stuck on blinking animation, boot image i guest?
Any idea just throw in please, really want to try and confirm on any solution we got in mind.
thanks in advance everyone.

Hey all, I'm currently in RA after flashing the recovery image , and I'm trying to install the FRESH rom on there but for some reason when I try to "Flash zip from sdcard" it's telling me "No zip files found." Why is that? I have the whole zip folder placed in the main SD card, so why is it telling me it's not found?

I responded to you on http://GeekFor.Me, but the reason is because RA looks in the root of sdcard, the zips can't be inside of any folders.
So does that mean I have to take out all the individual files and place them directly into the root of the sdcard? Because I just basically copied the download folder and dropped it into the root. Thanks for the reply

You need to leave the files in a .zip, but yea that zip needs to be on the root of the sdcard.
The only file you need to install the rom is fresh-cdma-hero-20d.zip (for fresh rom 2.0d). Any other zips are just addons or tweaks or whatever they may be.

Hmm, I'm on a Mac and maybe it's me but the link I download from gives me an actual folder rather than a zip. And when I rename the folder to a zip, it gives an error. Is there a mirror link to download an actual zip folder?
Boogie when you download it dont opening after it finishes downloading .. just use the finder to navigate to where its at and then copy that to your sd .. when you open it on a mac it will automatically create the extracted folder .. hope this helps ...
Sounds like your using Safari to download it. To make this easier in the future go to Safari > Preferences > General and make sure that "Open safe files after downloading" is NOT check-marked.
Safari is unpacking the zip file for you. The file you want is in your trash bin, drag it to the root of your SD card and that's it..
Ok I'm gonna give it another go. Since I made it all the way through to the RA stage, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to flash the rom is there?
Thanks for all the help everyone I finally got it to flash the FRESH rom, but once I rebooted it, it's still in the "HTC" branded screen. Is it loading? It's not going anywhere but this screen, although I know it's doing something because the animation shine is moving.

After flashing a new ROM, it can take up to 10 minutes or so to load.
Nice Everything is all good! Now my last question is how do I get the removed apps from the ROM back onto here? I actually prefer to have some of those programs back onto the phone.

There is a link in the release notes to download all the removed apk's from Fresh Rom. You will then need to use adb push to push them back to /system/app. Search for how to setup adb on a mac as I honestly don't know.
This is a video toturial I made for modifying ROMs. Here's the things in the video:
1. How to remove or add apps
2. How to replace the boot screen
3. How to replace other things and sign it
Please remember to read all comments and everything on YouTube about the video before asking questions. I am not going to respond if the question already has been asked

You can just delete all other files and folder so you only have fx if your bootscreen is placed like this: META-INF and system system> customize> resource>bootanimation.zip
That should be your only files and folders. Of course if you your bootscreen is placed in data/local/bootanimation.zip then that should be your only directories and files
Limit?
Really like this and it would make trying different Rom easier for me but is there a limit to the amount of apk's you can add or a maximum Rom size?
Have tried again and again over the last couple of days to add 32 (free market apk's) to VillianRom12 but can only get a successful flash at around 12 Apk's and a Rom size of 122mb.
All other tries give me an Error while flashing saying something along the lines of "Error with Line 11" and "Flash aborted".
After a successful flash and reboot 'SD & Phone storage' says I have 158mb of Internal Phone Storage is that different storage to where the Rom is Flash.
If this is not possible can I flash an Update.zip with just the apks?
Thanks. A bit of a Noob.

I copy the file in app folder, i save, i signe my new rom.
I flash my HTC Hero, all is OK, but when i want to use EsFileExplorer, Android says: "Must close ES File Explorer (process .com.estrongs.android.pop). Please try again".
Can you help me ?

My post no. 200 LMAO
That happens sometimes. Not all apps work when they are put in system/app. Try putting them in data instead. If that doesen't work you just can't do it with those apps and you'll have to install them from market...
BTW are you sure these apps are Froyo compatible?
A list of what the apps are and whether they are safe to remove would be really helpful. Although probably a lot of work to compile. Just a suggestion. Great tutorial though

it didn't corrupt your kernel. Just manually push the BCM4329.ko file through adb.

Download and run the one click root file, it will repatch with the kernel that comes in it or you can place the files from the latest kernel release into it. I think thats the best option for you if you are not comfortable using adb.

It could be an issue with the download. Find the file with astro or root explorer and delete it then redownload, or download to your computer and place it on the xoom and have the app install from the sd card instead of downloading it.
If it still doesnt work for you, just reflash the one click root and give it a day or two for the devs to update the app or something.
Hope everything works out for you

Well.... Uhhh.... Thats not something I tried myself. But I think it would be pretty easy... When you extract the root my xoom folder to your computer, open it up and find the kernel files... then replace them with the updated files from the 1.3.2 zip file. Just unzip the 1.3.2 folder and copy and paste.
Hope this helps
ive opend the rootmyxoom folder and i dont know where to put the contents from the zip

I dont have a current version of the one click root, but I would think to look inside either the wifi root folder or the tiamat folder (inside the rootmyxoom folder). Whichever one has the same files from the 1.3.2 folder, copy and paste them over to that folder inside the rootmyxoom folder and you should be golden.
ive looked thru them all , i dont see any files in any of those folders that look like the ones that come in the zip
open up the tiamit files in the root my xoom folder and replace with whatever kernel you want to use. I did this three times with tiamit 1.3.0, and .1 and .2. You can try to just replace the entire file or go in and replace the indiviual files from within the tiamit kernel folder. Be careful though if you replace the wrong files or mix them up could be bad results, usually just no wifi or bootloops.
Oh by the way i always did all this on a windows based computer that way the files look the same or similar

Wow, Kernel manager just solved my problem of flashing the new tiamat 1.4.0 kernel.
Was having issues in CWM, instead of pulling my hair out in testing it out via trial by error. Had a (status 0) error while flashing kernel in CWM.
It was resolved by using Kernel Manager!!!

PROBLEM:Hi all,
I have had a problem with my Baseband version (XXXX) for a couple of months now.
I have posted a thread before about the same problem.
I thought I found the solution by flashing the stock ROM for my S3 mini, but there's still something that's not working.
So the problem is:
I can make Calls and send text messages on stock ROM ONLY. My mobile data is not working..
It also says: Baseband: XXXX
When I install a custom ROM (doesn't matter which one), I will not be able to make calls, send text message or use mobile data anymore. When I try to make a call it says: No Signal.
To make clear what I just said:
Stock ROM:
Calls & SMS: Working
Mobile Data: Not working
Any custom ROM:
Calls & SMS: Not working
Mobile Data: Not working
I don't know why Calls and SMS are only working on Stock ROM. (Baseband: XXXX).
I'm currently having stock rom, otherwise my phone is kind of useless.
How did this happen to me:
I have had this problem since I wiped everything in 'Mounts and Storage' in Clockworkmod Recovery.
I know this was really a stupid action.
But this can't be undone, so that's why I'm asking for help here.
I would really like to have mobile data back at first.
And it would also be nice if I can install custom ROMS again. (I don't like the laggy Stock ROM...)
Thanks for help in advance!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT:
SOLUTION:
This worked for me, hopefully it will work for you as well!
1) Root your S3 Mini. (If you hadn't rooted it already)
Download a pre-rooted stock rom from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122548
2) Download from the attached files ''Root Explorer v.3.1.4.apk'' and install it.
3) Download ''modemfs.tar'' from attached files below.
4) Extract the file, then copy the extracted file to your device. (Put it on internal or external storage, it doesn't matter).
5) Open Root Explorer, go to the ''modemfs'' file you have just put on your device.
6) Copy the ''modemfs'' folder and go to your root tab. Find the old ''modemfs'' folder and click on ''paste''.
If it promps to merge, click yes.
7) Now reboot device and your baseband should work properly.

And you have flash before a rooted stock rom ... You have then also the right root permissions for the NV.DAT from the NV.rar ... Sorry for my english but I hope you understand what I mean?!
Regards leather.face
PS: But I'm not sure if it works on your device ... I mean this method! I use only pre-rooted stock roms on my S3 Minis.
Problem has been solved!

OK thanks,
I will try to find a pre-rooted stock ROM.
I found a list with pre-rooted stock ROMS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122548
I'm currently downloading I8190XXAMG4 4.1.2 (OXX multi-csc, PDA: I8190XXAMG4, CSC: I8190OXXAMH1) (thanks to tys0n) (This one had the same CSC).
I don't really know what I'm doing now exactly.
Once the download has finished I will flash the pre-rooted stock ROM.
I will install ES file explorer and hopefully I can give it root acces.
Then I will try to paste 'NV.dat' file into /modemfs/PERM/PROT
When I go into the folder modemfs, I dont see the folders 'PERM' and 'PROT', will that be a problem?
Do I have to create these folders?
Please help, I'm desperate..
By the way, I fully understood what you said, don't feel sorry for your English.
I'm glad someone is trying to help me.
If anyone else has other solutions, feel free to post!
Greetz,

Hi ... Your list with pre-rooted stock roms is okay ... I'm using the same page! I search the /modemfs/PERM/PROT folder on my nfc device with the root explorer and in this folder is the NV.DAT file ... But I have two more files in the /PERM/PROT folder and I'm not sure if you need the third files in the /PERM/PROT folder ... I still have the LABEP.CFG and the PPVALUES.DAT file in the /PERM/PROT folder!
Please make this:
1/ flash your pre-rooted stock rom via Odin and then,
2/ install a root file manager, no matter what, then
3/ search the /modemfs/PERM/PROT/ folder and you should not find this folder on your device then create manually the
4/ PERM and
5/ PROT folder with this permissions:
Code:
rwxr-xr-x
6/ the NV.DAT file in the PROT folder have this permissions:
Code:
rw-r-r
7/ You must then set the permissions manually!
8/ Is this okay for you? I wish you good luck!

Hi leather.face,
The pre-rooted stock rom has just finished downloading.
Which file manager is the best? Which one should I use? ES file explorer is OK?
I don't know how to set the permissions manually. Could you please tell me more detailed how to set permissions?
I only know how to create the folder, I dont know how to set permissions.
Thanks in advance!
I'm going to flash the pre-rooted stock rom now.

Hi ... My favourite root file manager is the root explorer ... But you can also use a different file manager ... Your question is good ... I don't know how to set the permissions manually ... With the root explorer I set the permissions as follows:
1/ I have a taskbar on the bottom bar and I type the + icon then
2/ I create a new folder and then,
3/ I press and hold on the folder ... I mean the new created folder and then,
4/ I can set manually my permissions for all folders that I like!
Greetz leather.
PS: I think the wipe in the TWRP or CWM Recovery is the ground for the folders lost on your device!
Edit: And how it looks on your device?

Well, on stock rom EVERYTHING works!
But on a custom rom (cyanogenmod 11) I can not make calls, send text messages or on mobile data.
So the problem isn't fully solved.
I would really like to have custom roms again, because I don't like touchwizz from Samsung.
I understand if you don't have a solution for this, but if you have, please tell me!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I didn´t expect you would reply after you said you would sleep, so I´m sorry for responding lately.
Yes, I also see the other files, so I´m not missing files in these folders I think.
I think I´m missing files in other folders.
It seems that stock rom has... I don´t know how to explain... It has a file for ´signal for calls and sms´ integrated.
It is something that custom roms don´t have from itself.
I´m trying to find out what files I´m missing, actually I´m not even sure if that´s the problem.
Before I wiped everything at mounts and storage I never had this problem.
So that´s why I now think it´s a file that´s missing.
If you or someone else have other ideas, please tell me!
Thanks in advance!
Greetz, Daniel.

Hey,
I created an archive of my modemfs folder, copy this onto your device and extract on root level. It will overwrite your current modemfs folder with the one from the archive. No mobile data issues for me at all - I am using CM 10.2 on I8190 S3 Mini.
Do it with the "Terminal Emulator" app:
- Grant root perms by issuing: "su"
- Go to root folder level: "cd /"
- Enter the following command: "tar -xzvf /path/to/archive/modemfs.tar.gz" Obviously, this "/path/to/archive" has to be replaced with the actual location where you have placed the archive.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

I will try now, thanks.
I'll come with an edit when tested.
Question: Where should I put modemfs.tar.gz on my device?
And.. How will terminal emulator find that file?
Wouldn't it be easier to copy and replace using root explorer?

Whatever works out best for you, mate. You can put the file on the sdcard anywhere, just make sure that you go to root level before extracting the archive as otherwise it will just create this folder within the folder you are currently in.
Edit: You could of course also extract this folder anywhere and afterwards copy it as root user over to "/" - it really does not make any big difference...

Manual how to apply patches android, for those who do not get it in the standard way. News for firmware based CM11, KitKat, 4.4.4 and others...
We will need 1 ) Root Explorer or another file manager. 2 ) Lucky Patcher.
And so, we go through the Root Explorer to system/framework and look there for a couple of files with names core.jar and services.jar, found means to copy to SD card for further action with them.
Go to Lucky Patcher and select the function to "Rebuild and install". We are looking for in the open filemanager copied our files, click on each of them and choose the function "Patch file firmware", patched both files close Lucky Patcher.
Open Root Explorer find our patched copy and rename them from the core-patched.jar in the core.jar, and so did a services-patched.jar in services.jar.
Put them in the firmware in two ways.
The first :
Through the Root Explorer to replace the first system/framework file core.jar and put it right (rw-r - r--).
Reboot and look at the first two Lucky Patcher android patch applied. Good!!!
Replace the same in system/framework file services.jar and the phone itself will go into a reboot may reboot itself again, nothing wrong with that.
Go through the Root Explorer on the road system/framework to the file services.jar and give him the right to (rw-r - r--).
Watch in Lucky Patcher all three patch applied android.
The second method:
For him, we need the establishment of recovery TWRP or CWM and Aroma Filemanager. Earnest request before to do something, then test Aroma FM on your device !!!
We go in and start recovery Aroma Filemanager. After that, everything just as in Root Explorer, substitute core.jar on patched us exhibiting rights (rw-r - r--) and reboot.
Again in recovery and launch Aroma Filemanager. And substitution of services.jar but rights can and should be put immediately (rw-r - r--).
Reboot and you're done.
One piece of advice if something goes wrong as we would like it keep copies non patching core.jar and services.jar.
You can always get them back into place and put right through Aroma Filemanager.
Addition to those who have odex firmware :
In odex firmware need to copy the core.odex and sevices.odex on sdcard.
Go to Lucky Patcher, and on the bottom panel to select "Install and rebuild".
Then, select a file core.odex and select to patch the firmware file, then select services.odex and also choose to patch the firmware file, then rename and put them back into the system/framework.

Which ROM you now use??
No need to patch this files, because you can install paid apps from google without this, playstore dont chech it for verificatio, better leave this files alone, I dont know how to say. Xd
You dont need to patch anything.
And if you dont know Lucky patcher is illegal on xda.
Your guide is good
But, that dont need to do.

Big thanx for this great tutorial,its very usefull.but one request i have about patching with lucky.maybe its possible to patch the service.jar for full tweaking like v6 supercharger etc. As we know zeppelinrox is working on it and we can do it by hand with very anoying smalipatches one by one,so maybe its possible to make it with luckypatcher too?
