[Q] Build.prop change via Stock Recovery - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I am new to forum
My problem is that I changed the screen LCD density in Rom Toolbox
from 160 to 230, and since then after a reboot I see the message that the TouchWiz stoped.
In addition, I did root so unfortunately I can not upload anything Odin because pressing Volume Down plus Power does nothing and tablet reboot normally.
The only thing I can do is Power plus Volume Up and then I have Stock Recovery (3e).
My request is this:
Does anyone of You can give me to prepare update.zip file to be able to change the file build.prop ( \system\build.prop) value of 160 (instead of 230), which will start in the Stock Recovery?
Is it at all possible ?
I tried to connect via ADB, but unfortunately did not see the Tablet
I will be very grateful for your help
Sorry for my poor English

You can still use ODIN if you 've rooted your device, fastest way to fix a soft brick...
If you can't get into ODIN mode you are doing something wrong or have a stuffed bootloader.
You can still install a stock rom by putting the rom file on your sd card, changing it to update.zip and flashing through recovery... make sure it's the stock rom you shipped wih or updated for your area.
This will wipe your tab though I believe...

Dead phone after downgrade

Hi
I've tried a few custom ROM on my nexus. But today I was thinking to downgrade my phone to a Stock ROM, Stock-GRH55-Unsigned. So I downloaded the zip-file and upload it to the sdcard and then I run Clockworkmod -> install zip from sdcard and choose Stock-GRH55-Unsigned.zip.
The install of the Stock ROM looked fine so I rebooted my phone and after that is the phone dead .
When I press the on/off-button the phone vibrates and the home and search button lights up and after a while they go out and the two other buttons start to slowly blink.
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve my problem or is my phone dead?

If you can get into the bootloader (volume up + power) then you can try and get into CWM (doubt it will still be intact). From CWM you can wipe and try flashing something else. If you can't get into CWM, you can reflash the recovery image from the bootloader using fastboot.
If you can't do any of the above, then start looking into Odin. I have no experience in Odin though, so can't help you there. Good luck!

[Q] [HELP] How to back up stock rom (& upgrade) for UNKNOWN brand tablet

Hi guys.
I've recently bought a android tablet,
the brand was MBI and the model was i7
(which is a not known brand ... can't find much info about it).
In my quest of rooting it, I've lost the bundled disc (with Win32 driver). after reading up tons of articles. I've decided to download google's USB driver and edit the .inf, the the tablet's VID & PID info. Somehow I managed to get adb working.
And for rooting, I've tried .apk and none of them work, then I proceed to SuperOneClick and it hung. Lastly I've tried the Easy Rooting Kit by ZoomLord and ta-da, my device is rooted!
Then I attempt to back up the stock rom in case of anything. But Rom Manager kept restarting the device whenever I run 'Back up current ROM'. And when I try to flash the ClockWork Recovery Rom .. the only option was 'Nook Color' & version 3.2.0.1, even Rom Manager reported recovery rom flash successfully, but whenever I try to boot to recovery mode, CWR is not running... and default recovery image doesn't allow me to back up my rom either.
So, in short, I hopes any of you could help me out on following:
1) How do I backup stock rom? or get any recovery rom working?
2) After that, can I just flash to any custom rom? e.g., CM7 Gingerbread ROM? although my device isn't in their supported list?
any help will be appreciated, thanks.
Now I'm trying this fastboot,
somehow when I entered fastboot mode (hold Vol+ & power the device on).
"FastBoot" was showed on center of the screen,
but whenever I issue # fastboot devices
the device will reboot itself ....
any idea? I was trying to flash recovery image via fastboot here
hello
did you manage to root your phone as I too got this tablets thanks
I have a same problem too.. can't use cwm after rooting. Now my mbi i7 tablet can't be used anymore. It just show blank screen after boot up. I can't revert it back to factory setting because the rom is corrupted & the update.zip file is missing. Can anybody upload the update.zip for mbi i7 tablet please.. - sorry 4 my bad english..

[Q] Nexus S stock recovery problem

Recently, i upgraded my nexus s I9023 from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 . But i did that with the fault of upgrading it with a different OTA version as suggested for my phone. The problem is that i cannot load into the boot recovery mode , can i install any recovery modes nor can i downgrade my phone to 2.3.6 without the boot loader .
Any answer would be helpful ...
Btw thanks for ur help.
if possible suggest me how to boot into the correct version or just help me downgrade to gingerbread.
How is the file called, you installed?
Overall I think you have the right version, if everything except the recovery mode is working.
All i9023 have this problem with the official OTA update (look in those threads).
If you really need it for wiping or so on, you could use a bright (LED) flashlight and illuminate the screen from the top then you can hardly see the menu points.
If you have an open bootloader you can flash a custom recovery as well.
I have the exact same problem. Even if flashing CWM recovery and superuser, once the OTA 4.0.3 boots it cripples the custom recovery. Very annoying!
It is like in Gingerbread...
you have to rename "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" to "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh.old" for example

Does the phone boot, so you can use it?
Can you boot in the bootloader mode (power on the phone while holding the vol+ button)? When yes what says it about its version?
i can boot into the boot loader but cant boot into the stock recovery mode
It's already been answered in this thread. New recovery turns off the backlight for the SCLCD on the i9023. Strong flashlight at the right angle will show you whats on the screen. To install a new recovery you need an unlocked bootloader and you need to rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something else (which requires root).
i tried with the strong flash light but it cant be seen . I ve the unlocked and rooted nexus phone . I tried renaming the file with the file ("/system/etc/install-recovery.sh) via the root explorer but it seems it cannot be renamed bcoz it is read only and i cannt change it to read\write option in the root explorer app.
can u suggest any other way of doin so where i can get back to the android 2.3.6 version
Reboot into bootloader and use fastboot to flash cwm, then install your rom of choice without rebooting.
It's much more convenient to remove the recovery from stockrom's zip before flashing it. It's in its own folder, just delete that. And if you really want it perfect, remove the corresponding lines from update-script (optional). No new recovery, no script.
But I guess you need bootloader unlocked for this (to flash a then wrongfully signed rom in this case).

[Q] uh___ bootloader option?

It seems I'm stuck in bootloop after font installation.
I have an HOV on primou.
If I understand it correctly, I should be able to boot into recovery from the phone and just install the backup I made from CWM- correct?
Problem is, I can't access the recovery menu on the phone...
Did this option change when I flashed a new ROM?
Stock hov gave access to this using the power and volume keys...
Of course hoping to do this from the phone w/out the pc.
Anyway, I advice is greatly appreciated thanks.

I terrible bricked my Honor. Fastboot not working. Need help.

Hi I install one application (host name changer) and restart the phone and it stop working. Stops at HONOR screen. I enter to bootloader, open multi-tool and change recovery. Unfortunately bootloader not eorking ok, because when I wanted to upload IMG files to unbrick the phone, I get the error in Multi-tool. I decided to format/clean all data (I use CWM recovery and later also TWRP recovery). Again uploaded stock recovery and try use 3 buttons. Unfortunately installation start and after one second failed.
I also try to use QTADB to upload updata.apk but it not working - there is problem with bootloader. Also Minimal ADB not working - doesn't see Honor.
How can I upload / install rom now?
Is it possible instal ROM from external SD card? I try but on external card (using CWM) I see no files?
You can't use other recovery than the stock one to use 3 buttons. If the phone is not recognized by adb I'm not sure if you can restore it.
I used 3 buttons with stock recovery, and installation failed.
Did you replaced build.prop and local.prop with the original ones before 3 buttons?
Las night installed B310 without any problems.
I did not replace build.prop and local.prop because I install some other app which - I guess - modify build.prop and this is why I have that problems. Afert I reboot phone it brick on HONOR loco and Minimal ADB do not response. When I connect USB cable and enter to bootloader the PC see the phone, Hisuite start but can not connect. So I have problem with bootloader - it does not response using Minimal ADB. Onlu Multitool lets me change recovery. All I can do now is enter to recovery, bootloader, change recovery (only with Multitool), start install ROM (using 3 buttons) but it failed immediately.
Try to install stock dev rom 4.x.x
4.x.x roms have not prop checker so you can install them via 3btns
But how to upload this rom to HH? All I can do is using Minimal adb (not all function, but sometime I can use pull and push functions);

Put it on a SD Card?
If you can enter fastboot and your bootloader is unlocked you can try to flash the system.img via fastboot. But since you have CWM it shoul be unlocked
Finally the Multi-tool stoped responding (I couldn't upload img files to unbrick - there was an error).
But suddenly the Minimal ADB started responding, and I uploaded build.prop and after that I flash recovery.img, system.img, boot.img and cust.img.
Thanks for help.
The following is irrelevant. Just to share.
I messed up honor 6 plus once. It booted then it permanently hanged. Black screen, home launcher does not respond, no navigation bar. Power button worked with the options to reboot and power down.
Before I messed it up, I have unlocked the boot loader and flashed cwm and rooted by install zip.
I tried to fix it by cwm wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik but that did not help.
Later I found that I was able to boot into fastboot mode and managed flashing back stock recovery. Then I downloaded a full stock ROM, decompressed the dload and copied it to root of a sdcard. Then I applied three finger update. It worked and fixed the problem.

Well to set permissions you must use either root explorer or ES filexplorer, personally I use the last one with root privileges on.
after you move the files to correspondent folder you need to click on it for a few seconds and then go to properties/permissions and check only left column all 3 and middle column the first from above.
As for stock recovery go to the thread of Honor multi-tool, there you have how to and were to download stock recovery.
