I have no idea what Android version you have on your device, so I'm in the blind here. Sadly, you must have missed my Sticky called Before You Root Read This! in which I carefully discuss the importance of making a nandroid backup BEFORE doing anything to the system files. You didn't do that, and you have permanently altered the system files and rendered your device unusable. This is bad, because you are in a state that you can't even get back into the build.prop file to write it back to normal.

Your only real option here is to find the original factory image for the device, either online somewhere or through a forum like Android Forums or XDA. Then you need to find a way to push that image to the device using ADB (Android Debugging Bridge). If that isn't possible, you have little option other than to send the device back to the manufacturer for a re-flash to stock. IF they will even do that, they will likely charge you.

I wish I had better news, but knowing as little as I know about your situation, that's all I have. Good luck.

Gazkits EDS Up, a couple of question for you:

- have you tried connecting to your device via adb while it is bootlooping? it's unlikely that it will respond, but you didn't say that you tried this; if it does respond, then you should be able to fix your build.prop file that way.

- does your device have an unlocked bootloader? if so, you can simply fastboot boot (or flash) your custom recovery, connect to your device via adb, remount /system in read-write mode, fix the build.prop file (i.e., undo your change), and reboot

Otherwise, you will need to find a stock factory image and way to flash it to your device (i.e., adb's only good when you have USB debugging enabled and adb components on both sides of the conversation), so you'd need fastboot (which requires an unlocked bootloader or whatever Alcatel uses for re-flashing stock ROMs.

Best of luck.
