Hello =D
I just played around a bit in /system/ folder ^^
1st you need a rooted phone and a explorer
I'm using root explorer
Open the /system/ folder on your phone(pic1)
Open the build.prop with a text editor (pic2&3)
Edit the 3 things after the "=" on your own (pic4)
Save changes and reboot.
Warning: the lock screen looks like sh*t and it's impossible to unlock it with density 145 or lower!
If some1 has got a problem with my guide please post a comment!
Some other pics r here too =D

You know I was feeling left out since June when I bought my phone I have not received any update notification ever. So this bricking was kind of in good time because I flash the first firmware and then I got the update to 26 notification. I am little bit happier till 2.1 update comes out. Thanks to one touch root, and titanium backup you have nothing to worry.
Thanks for your mods. BTW, off subject I love Vienna and lived there for 14 months, what a City and country.

Use root explorer or
Use an terminal on your phone and write:
Su
Mount -o remount,rw yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

type this into your terminal:

in your build.prop replace the current text with this: you can get things like tv.com back
Code:
ro.build.description=passion-user 2.2.1 FRG83 60505 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys
i would upload one for people to flash but as some many people are on diff roms/kernels it would just cause more issues then its worth best way to go about fixing it is pulling the file from your phone (or the zip from teh rom your on). swapping out the text and pushing it back to /system
all credit goes to Decad3nce for the fix

Then I edited the 2 lines on my PC with notepad++ and saved. Then I put it on my sdcard, remounted /system readwrite and copied it over to /system/build.prop and then rebooted.
adb push build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell

I tried downloading it and saving it to my SD card, but it's a protected app. I use AppMonster, which backs up all the apps for when I do flashing, but it doesn't do protected ones. Sorry man, I tried.
sorry i havent replied, most of the roms out there SHOULD have this baked in... i know acs and quantum do and the cm rom should but ill ask noob just to be sure.
forgot to post this before but if you ever have issues downloading files that are beyond 30 mb
here do this from adbshell
umount /cache
busybox mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs /
rmdir /cache
mkdir /data/cache
ln -s /data/cache /cache
that will remove the 40 mb limit of the market (shouldnt apply to gingerbread)
Download all files app also works.

What this mod does:
It removes the device ID string check from PortalApp, and enables the webtop option in DockService. Replacing these two apk files effectively allows the webtop to launch without proprietary hardware.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What this means to you:
Webtop mode over any HDMI without an expensive dock.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation:
Method 1: ADB install
Download the package here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=791033&d=1321938181
First Get the files to the device and remount /system as rw:
Code:
adb push DockService.apk /mnt/sdcard/
adb push PortalApp.apk /mnt/sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
Backup the original files:
Code:
mv /system/app/DockService.odex /system/app/DockService.odex.bak
mv /system/app/PortalApp.odex /system/app/PortalApp.odex.bak
cp /system/app/DockService.apk /system/app/DockService.apk.bak
cp /system/app/PortalApp.apk /system/app/PortalApp.apk.bak
Copy the modded files over fix permissions and reboot:
Code:
cp /mnt/sdcard/DockService.apk /system/app
cp /mnt/sdcard/PortalApp.apk /system/app
chmod 644 /system/app/DockService.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/PortalApp.apk
reboot

Appreciate my work? Buy Me a Beer:
awesome job!
however, will this effect how the device currently interacts with the motorola docks (webtop, lapdock, car-dock, hd-dock, etc)
The modifications to PortalApp will have no effect on that interaction whatsoever I have just removed the bit that checks to see if your dock is legit when the Webtop Launches. And the modification to DockService simply causes the mIsWebtopAllowed variable to return true.
In short everything will work the same, you'll just always have a webtop option in the Dock Picker Activity no matter what type of HDMI/Dock you have connected.
Excellent WORK!!!
Thanks i appreciate the work you did to make this happen!!! as soon as i get paid im buying you a beer!!!
Used this mod on my OG ATRIX. Works great on it with a Bluetooth keyboard. Again good work.
silly question I'm sure but I have to ask: Does this require root?

Just enable tethering/mobile hotspots. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330438.
Anyway after this turn on your mobile hotspots and and then connect your lapdock. It will run on your mobile broadband without a tethering plan. Now will you get a letter? I dunno.

If it's giving you root access in a terminal, could you not push the root files that way? Or do you have to remount to do that? I honestly don't know is why I ask. Would love to root this beast, but I'm not a lot of help with the more deep down technical stuff.

You have to remount the system as writable otherwise trying to write a file to system doesnt work, and as soon as I issue the command adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system then phone just freezes but I'm looking into an answer for that but no luck so far.

No it's supposed to remount the system as writable because I need to be able to push su into /system/xbin but when I try to it gives me the error system READ only which means I cannot write to it. And if I were you be prepared to lose everything and factory reset in the end otherwise it's not going to hold no WiFi passwords or nothing every time I reboot I need to rein put all the WiFi crap and it's getting annoying.

I'm pretty much where you are at. I don't think DM-Verify is turned off in the kernel but it is a eng one. If you get tired of it just flash the boot.img below and you will be back to normal. It says PI1 but it should work fine if you are on MM. I flashed it on PL4 no problem.

Yeah I already flashed back but apparently I'm going to have to factory reset again anyway because after flashing the original kernel it still won't keep my WiFi passwords saved and I have to keep redoing it.

I'm curious as to why the file system would deny me to mv su from my sdcard into /system/xbin when I'm ROOT... But if I so much as try to mount it as re writable it freaks out and freezes. But I can adb shell mount -o rw,remount / and adb shell mount rw,remount rootfs / with no issue but just that /system absolutely will not.

I feel like it's infuriating because root is right there but just out of reach. I've been using my m8 because I have root and my screen is peeling on my note, so if someone wants to shoot me some instructions, I can see what I get.

I really don't think you should try right now considering that both myself and @Misterxtc know what we're doing already and there really isn't much point in trying to give instructions out just to end up in the same exact situation we are.
And by the way, there is root. It's just in the console that's it!
By the way you can adb pull the /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu from the phone to your computer and change it and then push it back and then viola secret codes in the phone dialer work such as *#0*# and many others! If you do change it reboot before it'll take effect. Also it will remain this way even with doing a factory reset.

I'm pretty much where you are at. I don't think DM-Verify is turned off in the kernel but it is a eng one. If you get tired of it just flash the boot.img below and you will be back to normal. It says PI1 but it should work fine if you are on MM. I flashed it on PL4 no problem.

I'm sorry but it's a lot of steps to write it follow the video if video show to you black screen tonight i'm gonna to fix this problem
no-go
Tried many times, unable to get past the mounting of /system. Hard lock-up.
Edit: Had root on 7.0 finally. Looked like I was using the wrong sboot. I have too many...
Note: Tried to update superSU after I had everything how I wanted it. Lost root. Had to start over. Use caution...
I have gotten my phone rooted thanks for your help.
Now we need to find a way to bypass the system rw,remount freeze, which I think is being controlled by smu_protection or something like that.

I think you phone now is rooted and you can mount system as rw just start adb
write adb shell then write su it will ask to get root from your device and then retry if doesn't work with download any explorer app like root explorer and you can edit system from it

It works for the mount /system via adb? because I did it from root explorer but it freezes again, if works via adb, tell me, Im now in the 5.1.1 android rom version

Tried it on both, including
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
Freezing up
Especially with Amaze. Tried to write on the system partition and it hangs until I do a fresh reboot.
Has anyone tried if Samsung pay still works after root?
Ok, I'm in this nougat rom now, but the writable system still as a dream for us. I'll go back to the stock and enjoy of my Samsung apps instead of freezing my phone. Has someone knowledge about change the imei of this device? I want root for this. Or, if you know how to reboot the lollipop rooted rom correctly, can you explain me how?

Unsure if it "works" or not, as I never use it. However... It is bothering me to add my VISA-XXXX to Android Pay after boot. I'd say fairly good chance it does, simply because this root has thus far not touched /system for most of us. I do believe that is the red flag for SafetyNet/Pay (but I dunno. It does ask me however...)
