Alright, so I am in DIRE need of the stock rom for this phone, so I can use Odin to restore my phone. This is how it started, I changed my build.prop to the one posted in the All things root for the Admire (Speed Tweaks + more). I backed up all my things with Titanium Backup, and made a copy of my original build.prop which is on my SD card. Once I rebooted however, my phone goes past the MetroPCS screen then doesn't show the second Samsung boot animation (Glowing Samsung), and boot to my phone. It just stays there, SO, thinking I could resolve the problem, I removed my SD card, went into my recovery (Volume down, Back button, and Power) to wipe user data, and cache partition. Still did the same thing. So I install Samsung Kies ( I have all the drivers installed) and it wasn't being recognized. So I tried getting ADB working, so that I could pull the file (system/build.prop), but I realized after wiping user data my phone wouldn't be in USB Debugging. Help?

is that all u did to your Admire... for i to, used the build prop.zip an my phone is fine... did you mess with sounds... boot animation...have you erased any apks..log files...i think theres more to your problem then just that build prop (did you unzip it before replacing)cause it should have been unziped i dont think there there is a stock Rom as of yet , take to metro corporate store an play dumb
 
Thanks for the suggestion. However, I had just replaced my build.prop not in a zip file. I backed up my original prop file on my SD card. I haven't deleted any boo animations, or sounds. I did remove the bloatware.

EDIT: I'm going to do that tomorrow, Corporate is going to close soon. :D That's just what i'm going to do.
 
could you post the stock and/or rooted rom? i am working on something awesome for us. having trouble getting this phone backed up. it isn't an activated phone. brand new out of the box. i'm wondering if that's my issue...

if i can get a stock or better yet, a rooted rom with bloat removed i can do some awesome stuff for us. thanks in advance!
 
did you remove your Launcher that came stock then rebooted without downloading a 3rd party launcher like adw or launcherpro?
 
I saved the wrong build.prop file and ended with a boot loop. Didn't delete anything. Didn't mess with ANYTHING but the build.prop

I had to return that phone, and now my new one doesn't have Super User Access, and I don't have any Read Write eXecute access to my system. All because I updated my SU binary.
