Well I changed the one line back to stock, rebooted, and everything was back in it's place. Like I said, weird. It very well may be something I did wrong, but it's back to normal now. I might try again tomorrow. I did this before seeing your post, so I didn't try any of the suggestions you made.

i add a forward slash behind sdcard and it works, see below:

easiest way

with computer

adb push build.prop /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtdblock4 /system
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system

yep I agree I was unaware of that command previously and what it did, if you don't need to enter into adb shell the its alot easier to mount the system
 
Ok, what am I doing wrong.

2.2 rooted (even deodexed if it matters)

c:\androidsdk\tools: adb remount
Operation failed: Operation not permitted

dont get it...
 
When getting adb: not found or no command 'adb' found you can correct by adding ./ before adb so the command will appear as;

./adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

(Step 4 original directions)

The ./ tells your system that you are working within the current directory (tools).
 
I do not know what the difference in this method and the Eris Market Fix app is and this build prop fix may be better, but I am using the Eris market fix and it seems to be working for me. I did not see this app mentioned, so thought I would throw it in if this build prop method is not working for you. I tried EMF first just because downloading an app is more comfortable for me.

I'm not sure of the exact difference either, but if you know how to add the original build.prop in the OP, I suggest using that. Its made for the Droid X, and i think using it will be a lot safer and prevent future unknown problems if something arises from using EMF. Just my 2cents.

Factory reset is dumb anyways. Can't do it if you removed bloatware either.

Easy fix for this, just SBF. Or keep a stock build.prop.. you decide..

It sounds like he may be a little bitter. This must have been one of the bugs he was hunting for, so he was obviously using this mod himself.
 
I've cleaned up and updated the OP with the Stock Build.prop and instructions. Please stop panicking PM'ing me because of birds tweet. There is more than one reason why you cant do factory resets. If you've applied a theme, removed /system apps, or even renamed them, you cant do a factory reset without changing everything back.

Again, if you're in doubt, just SBF. Its your best bet.
 
No panic here, just a heads up :) The bomb is available to every one, so everything is just OK. I'm still using your fix for market, and will use until upgrade. So, thanks for the fix again.
 
Since when can we not do a Factory Reset if we change these things? Do you mean a Factory Data Reset that is in the Privacy menu?


I could've sworn I've done this before when things are already modded with no issues. Also, I've never read about it..

Yeah, I've done it too. I have no idea what birdman was talking about.
 
Quick help please... I installed Nextheme by Fab successfully. Now when I go to Appbrain to install my apps I receive "The request item could not be found". For some reason AppBrain is not seeing all the apps I purchase/downloaded? Only way I can install them is to download them individually? Any suggestions?

Should following the steps from Lexus work?
 
Ive been trying this for a little bit with terminal and ther error i get is:

failed on /sdcard/build.prop /system Cross Device link

not sure what this is, if anyone can help that would be awesome

I keep getting permission denied...I've done the OP version and this version as well:

"adb shell"
"su"
"mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtd/mtdblock4 /system"
"exit"
"exit"
"adb push build.prop /system/build.prop"

Did you get a message from superuser on your phone to allow permissions for this? If so make sure to hit yes and this could fix this issue. Might be completely irrelevant and sorry if this isn't the same issue. Just thought I would suggest it, my brother-in-law was doing this earlier and I noticed that and after that he was good.

After finishing and then restarting his phone, the market issue was fixed.
 
To the post above, You dont "exit" before you do the push. You only exit after everything is completed.

Much easier way, all of these edits and more are available On Rom Manager as Update.zips

Enjoy
