Deleted Build.prop, now it copies to system root but wont show up !

Dear All,
First thankyou so much for the great forum we have here, I am using Huawei Ideos u8150, the fone is network locked so I played around, being a total noob I started with installing sdk, and rooted my fone using z4root, rooting was successful
No when I try to copy a modified build.prop to the systems folder in root explorer, the file is copies but is not visible, also I have deleted the original build.prop & I am afraid to reboot the fone,
can restoring the fone to factory settings solve this ? also how come I copy the file to system folder, it gets copied and I still cant see it ?
I have tried pushing the file using ADB command line but the device refuses to mount (persmission denied)
I would really be thankful to anyone who can guide a noob like me, if you dont this forum has enough reasons to love it already,
cheers !

Moderators if by any chance I have placed this query in the wrong part of forum, please let me know in which part I should raise it, thanks !

In the top right hand corner or left it should be a r/o button. If you push that to r/w which is read/write you will be able to copy the bp correctly. Don't forget to mount as r/o which is read only before you exit RE. Then reboot. If you made a backup which you should have done before modding the bp you will be ok to reboot. If anything goes wrong just do a restore. Also you can Redownload the current rom your on to your cpu. Then extract it to a folder on your desktop. Then browse threw all the folders untill you see the stock build prop. Copy&paste it to your sd and that's your stock build prop. Hope this helps. Good luck

thanks for the kind help, I have tried doing that, I have rooted it, the I click on the r/o button and then I did copy the new built.prop to systems folder, the copying process completes, doesnt report any error but still there is no file visible by the name of built.prop, I just cant find it, is it hidden ? or is it not being copied in the first place ? & thanks I would try to extract the stock built.prop, and copy it to the folder but I will do it as a last option till I dont find something else,
thanks a million for the help, would apprciate if you can point it what I am doing wrong

Hi,
maybe its possible to boot into recovery mode and restore your phone back.
I think following will help you to boot into recovery mode :
Swith off the device.
Then hold trackpad+vol down and power on but dont release the keys
I think the folders are switched to original after recover, hope so.
Regards
NetJay

i tried everything.....factory reset in recovery resets only the settings and not the renamed file....any mathod or pc software to access the system files and renaming it back??? please..help required

Though flashtool + ftf should do the job.
Flashtool doesn't need unlock bootloader, unless youre flashing custom kernel (boot.img)

Then use the normal restore to restore everything to your phone. Sometimes just restoring /system under advanced doesn't work.
This will be easier than flashtool, which will completely wipe your phone.

Just use cwm to restore a back up to your phone. Use the bog standard restore, not the advanced one. If you use flashtool to flash an ftf, it is almost the same as factory resetting your phone and you will have to start from scratch. The only issue you might have with cwm is if the back up you are trying to restore was made with a kernel from a different version of Android or was made with a different version of CWM. In this case, just flash the correct kernel using fastboot and then restore.
If you have a flashable zip of the ROM you were MODding you can either reflash the whole ROM (just wipe cache and dalvik cache). Or if you are feeling adventurous, you can also pull out the framework files you need from the zip and then push it onto your device. Use 7zip (or equivalent) to copy the file you need (framework-res.apk for example) from the zip to someplace on your PC. Since it sounds like your recovery is working, you will probably need to boot into recovery and mount /system, then use something like android commander or adb to push that file onto your device. Make sure it ends up in the right place (probably /system/framework) and then set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Android Commander makes this super easy. You can do this on the whole /framework folder but you need to set the permissions to the folder to rwxr-xr-x and then the permissions to every file inside the folder to rw-r--r--.

Sorry, but I was under the impression that you had a working version of CWM. AFAIK there is no way to convert your nandroid back ups to something you can write with fastboot or flashmode. If your backups end with .tar then you should be able to use something like 7zip, winrar, iceows, etc to pull out the files that you need from the back up. I would open the archive with your archive viewer and then copy what you need to your computer. Then use adb to push the files into /system/framework or where ever they need to go. If you already have flashtool, you can use the adb that lives in ../flashtool/x10flasher_lib. Look around for the shell commands to mount /system, set permissions, etc that you will need.

I have to use what fasboot or flash to use with adw(please tell full form) and i dont have flash tool
can i download adw with my x2(no intrnet connection only cellular data) what is size of it?

Can you tell me if your bootloader is unlocked, what ROM and kernel you were using, exactly which file in /framework you were messing with, and what happened to your CWM recovery, for example, it would be good to know if you can still boot into recovery and exactly what error you get when trying to restore your nandroid back up. Also, is the back up for the same ROM or a different ROM?

Ok in telling U full history
I was copying framework res mobile fell from my hand it didn't suceed (I have brocken cover) becaus battery came out when I rebooted my phone the boot animation plays for some time and phone hangs at bootanimation I restored using cwm and it it successfully restored boot image when it comes to system it says failed restoring /system after that when I restart my phone it sticks at Sony logo and I can't get into cwm also
So is the story
Bootloader not unlocked and everything was of stock nothing custom I was installing different lockscreen by replacing system res

I know that. I moved the backup on the computer and when I put it on my sd so I could restore it. It didn't work it says no file found do you know where I can download the Original Stock Rom and when i try starting it up it go's to a black screen with a green arrow pointing towards the found then it goes to the phone with a red triangle with a red exclamation point. What is that?

If your backup is not recognised you have put it in the wrong folder i think. So tell us, where the files are on your sd card.

+1 on that, if you have one it'll be recognized as long as it is in the right folder, and made with the same recovery.

Can I go to some website to download the original stock Rom and kernel I need to fix my phone asap so can you please tell me exactly what I need to do. Plus what are those symbols i describe in my last reply. Thanks so much for assisting me I appreciate it.

The files must be in folder: clockworkmod/backup/2013-04-01.18.46.58
The last folder is the date it was created.
The symbols mean, your flash has failed.

What if that doesn't work

If your backup don't work, i know there is a Stock cricket jb back here in One SV Forum. Others flashed this successfully.
Otherwise i'm running out of ideas.

Okay so what do I do. Do i just move the Nanadroid file and where on my Sd. I leave it in zip form right ?
Then using fastboot I go ahead and open up CWM? Will it work on any version of CWD? Thanks so much for getting that file for me and what do I do after its flashed? Like as from being to end what are the steps sorry for all the questions but thanks for everything.

Unzip it. Go into Clean JB Crkt 2.04.1050.3 folder and copy the clockworkmod to your external sd.
Then boot into cwm and choose restore and choose the backup.

Hey man I download that file but its not in zip its in Rar. so I just move the file on to my external sd out in the open not in a folder and I opened up my CWM from the install zip from sd card and that didn't work then I went to restore and it could find the file both times so how do I install it? Do I have to put it in a certain folder or something? It keeps saying no file found. Thanks

Don't copy the zip directly.
What you could do is make a backup, see where it is on your sd, replace it with the one from the zip and then restore that one.

So Noob17_Me, flash this rom from here.

Yea but what im trying to say is that the file I downloaded isn't in zip form. So how am I supposed to install it on CWM?

Sorry but what is so difficult to understand? The rar is not for flashing, its a cwm backup and if you unrar it you have a folder Clean JB Crkt 2.04.1050.3, inside you find a folder clockworkmod.
This clockworkmod folder you have to copy to SD, like it is and and boot into recovery and choose "restore".
And my zip is made from this backup, so it are the same files!

Alcatel Fierce 2 Stock Rom Backup

This is a backup of my Alcatel One Touch Fierce 2 after rooting and getting switched to SuperSU.
Supersu is a system app in this backup so if you manage to find a way to build a flashable update zip this is a rooted rom.
For now I have found these files to be a good resource for anyone trying to build a rom from source or to try to figure out how to get a flashable update zip,
You may also be able to copy files you need if you deleted something that you need to put back. I would be careful how you copy files to your phone as this is how i got my screwed up.
I copied files to my /system when my phone was running and it crashed me. Now i can boot into recovery but the phone wont boot up completely and it will not restore itself to factory defaults. I built a update zip out of these files but it will not flash from the recovery.
On update from SD card it does not find the update.zip, I have used adb sideload to the phone to send the update.zip and it sends ok but errors out and will not recover.
I get E: Footer is wrong
and E: Invalid signature.
Rejection from the recovery. It wants a Factory update.zip and no one has that yet. We could get one if somebody has a phone that is not updated yet and they download the update but capture the download before it runs the update. I think there are some post on how to capture a OTA update and copy it.
Anyway for what its worth the files are here and complete.
This backup was originally made by using Online Nandroid Backup.
I also have a copy of most of my system that i made with ADB.
I noticed that the nandroid backup did not get some files, I built a complete backup by copying the missing files from my ADB backup into the Nandroid backup.
Then i rezipped the files.
There a 2 different backups of the boot.img and recovery.img. one i made using flashify and the other by dumping the images in ADB.
These were the commands i used to dump the images.
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmcblk0p29 of=/storage/sdcard0/recovery.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmcblk0p7 of=/storage/sdcard0/boot.img
If someone with a rooted phone can dump the whole phone image that would be helpful.
I saw a thread before how to do it with one command but im not sure where its at now.
After you unzip any of these files be careful if you want to copy them anywhere. There are a lot of link files that will not get copied. So zip it fist to keep the links.
Right now all i need to do is figure out a way to flash the /system folder of this backup back to my phone to replace the current /system on the phone and i will be back in working condition.
If anyone has any ideas how to do this id appreciate some help.
Like i said I have created the Updater Script and Binary META-INF to make a update script but it wont flash.
The only backdoor i can find so far is the following.
If you power off phone completely
and then hold in the volume down key only
and then plug the phone in the computer
You will get a new device. Hold the vol down key until you get it.
If you have loaded the drivers from Alcatel for the one touch Fierce.
http://alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/support/faq/usbdriver.html
our drivers are the qualcom drivers.
You will get HS-USB Qloader 9008
it is in QDL mode or Download Mode.
From what i have read you can flash each partition or the whole emmc this way.
Im just not sure how. I dont know what Flash tool to use to interface with it.
I have all the mountpoint data for the partitions and the backups here.
Any ideas on how i can flash the /system partition only and restore my /system from this backup.
There is also a Titanium Backup of all the apps including SYSTEM apps
Here are the links to my backup files.
