[Q] build.prop help - Acer Iconia A500

I messed around with my build.prop and now can't get past Acer splash screen. I tried pushing the build.prop file from my computer but adb cant find the device. I must mention that this is an A100 not an A500 (currently no A100 section in xda so I'm doing what I must). I can boot to the Acer recovery but I haven't anything to flash.
Suggestions are welcomed and help is much appreciated.

You did not install clockwork recovery?
I would do a factory reset inside the acer recovery and start over. You will be spending alot of time trying to fix it instead of just starting over.
then root it and install acer clockwork recovery from the market and you will be back up and running in 10 minutes or less.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did a factory reset and it still can't boot past Acer logo. In a factory reset I don't believe the build.prop is effected (though I could be wrong). I'm loading he most recent Acer drivers and he sync software to see if the sync software can some how restore the a100.
Please keep the suggestions coming!

Have u found a solution for this problem? I was also playing around in the build.prop and cant get past the boot screen....

If you conect de tablet to the pc and it can read de device, use adb to push the build.prop into system.

the problem that i get is that it needs r/w permissions and then if i go into adb and do su i get :
su
[1] + Stopped (signal) su
$ su
su
[2] + Stopped (signal) su
[1] Segmentation fault su
I doesnt want to work...

[Q] Webtop without dock

Hi I am new to this forum and I'm not an expert, I really would like to use the webtop without a dock,i tried following the instructions posted here but nothing happens, I don't know what am I missing. Am I supposed to run the install file on my computer or on my phone? When I run it on my computer a black screen appears and some command and then I says to press any key and that my phone will reboot, but nothing happens. Am I supposed to do something to my phone?
I'm on att gingerbread, not rooted, I enabled debugging mode.
Thank you
You need to root and probably deodex

You are probably right, but why then on Fenny's post it says no root or deodex needed??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980193
oh well look at that,
you run the script from your computer but your phone has to be connected and have all the right drivers on your computer

Can you please be a little more specific, I have the drivers for motorola media link and the phone portal, also for usb connection.
do you know what ADB is and how to use it?
No. I don't know... I just enabled the debugging mode on my phone

ok connect your phone to hyhour computer and make sure the computer knows it is connected
then run the script
good advice
If I were you I'd be VERY CAREFUL and investigate and learn all you can BEFORE doing any mods on your phone. Too many phones have been bricked (rendered useless) by running things you know little about.
I did that but the doesn't do anything, it doesn't reboot like it says on the script. I know it's connected because when I enable debugging I see the pop up screen for the internal memory and the sd card
Thanks for your concern I really appreciate it.what I like about this is that doesn't require root
Root
Hi
I also had exactly the same problem.
I wanted webtop, without really rooting my device.
It didnt work out. Also ran the script no reboot etc.
I then rooted my device, Fenny assisted me to create 2 files for the stock 2.2.2 atrix 4g (The older version of the os)
I copied them manually using root explorer, rebooted, and walla, i had the webtop working.
I still have those files.....
If you need them, PM me, its worth a try...

Stuck at bootscreen

Okay, I am new to the rooting and modifying android devices.. I rooted my Nexus 7 using supersu and was making modifications with ROM toolbox pro. I changed the boot screen, the font, and the wireless icon(starting out small) well when I restarted my tablet it wouldn't get past the lboot screen that I set to.
When I went into recovery mode, I tried to recovery my old system but it giving me md5 missing.. so I'm kinda of stuck
is there a direct approach to the solution?
Nice tip. Only use stuff like mods tha are on xda. Use metamorph to impalement theming stuff or flashable zips. Regaurds your situation ty flashing the rom again. Wipe data factory reset. If all else fails flash the google factory image and learn from your mistakes you made. Most problems you get in the future are pretty easily fixed with a bit of patience

Move your android folder to the C: Drives root folder and try directing the command prompt from there.
Type :-
cd c:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
adb

[Q] Unable to reboot to Recovery

I'm unable to boot into recovery after flashing the [JB 4.2] - CleanROM 2.5 rom. The ROM has horrible performance issue and I'm unable to flash a different ROM now. I have try going to reocvery by press & hold volume up+down and power button to go into bootloader (which works) and when I go to recovery mode I get the following screen. I get the same screen when doing it with ADB (adb reboot recovery).
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
UPDATE: I also noticed that this ROM has changed my folder structure. All the folders used to be stored in /sdcard/ directory. Now it keeps moving ALL my folders into a /sdcard/0/ and android auto populates new folders. it did it twice and now my folder and files are located in /sdcard/0/0/. Any fix to this?

What are you talking about?
That IS the recovery screen.

LMAO!
The stock recovery, yes. You need to use goomanager or rom manager to reinstall the custom recovery. At which time you should be able to put things back together.

The ROM did not change your file structure. It is the 4.2 update that does that. Doesn't matter stock or custom ROM you are gong to get the new file structure.
Clean ROM may have killed performance for you, but you have something else going on because Clean ROM is working great for many many users.
As for your growing 0 folders you need to update your recovery to stop that from happening.

[Q] ADB connection problem - Device Offline

This is weird. I never had this problem with my Galaxy S3.
I've enabled USB Debugging on the phone.
Even toggled it off, rebooted and turned it on again.
I've also rebooted my computer and even updated SDK Toolkit.
No change in problem though.
Every time I try to connect to my phone from ADB, it just tells me the device is offline (see attached pic).
Any ideas?

Try this
http://www.wugfresh.com/faqs/how-to-fix-adb-device-is-listed-as-offline-on-android-4-2-2/
And if you do a Google search for
how to fix adb device offline
It comes up with other things to try
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk HD
Thanks, I tried the info in that link but never got the pop-up asking for ADB permissions.
I did google prior to posting also. I listed in my OP what I tried (which is what my googling suggested).
I'm about to ODIN back to factory stock anyways. So I'll try again after that. Maybe I messed something up during all the bloatware removal I did yesterday.
Nope, a fresh ODIN install of stock ROM didn't help at all.
Guess I'll have to uninstall & reinstall Android Toolkit maybe.
EDIT:
Using Motochopper root tool, I finally got the popup. And made sure to select "always allow from this computer". I think that should fixit.
EDIT #2:
Nope, that didn't help at all. Still "offline".
EDIT #3:
Actually, using the ADB from Motochopper does work. It's just the ADB from my Android Toolkit that doesn't work.
Sounds like one in android tool kit is out of date
Try updating the android sdk

[Q] ADB: Device Unauthorized Error

Hello,
I just recently purchased a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N900T) and I am having problems with adb. Whenever I launch adb shell .... It says "Error: Device Unauthorized. Please Check the confirmation dialog on your device." However, this is no confirmation dialog. There has never been one. I do have USB Debugging Enabled, and I have tried disabling it and re-enabling it and it still does not ask me to authorize the device on my phone. I have also restarted the phone, and the computer. Nothing seems to work, and I can not use adb due to this issue.
There is also no "adb_key" file located in /data/misc/adb/ or in the .android folder on my pc.
Can anyone tell me how to authorize my device so I can use adb?
Hi.
Don't know if you found an answer on your problem but I have an Note 3 SM-N9005 an what i have done was to delete the adb folder in /data/misc and then the authorise popup poped up assoon as i plugged my phone into the pc. But just extra info on adb If you want to use adb debugging shell on pc, get the latest version from goolge.
Hope this helped. This worked for me.
how if phone on bootloop, so we can't see pop up confirmation.
any idea?
Clear Auth first, then retry.

This has nothing to do with adb. i wasn't even replying to you, i was replying to OP, so lose the attitude.

Instruction with Windows PC:
1. Make a copy from C:\Users\User\.android\adbkey.pub
2. Rename it to adb_keys
3. Paste it in your smartphone under /data/misc/adb/adb_keys
4. Restart the smartphone and adb with "adb kill-server" and "adb start-server"
