Change DPI in Build.Prop, not booting...balls

arr0ww · Mar 14, 2014

So I changed the DPI to 400 in build.prop via Root Explorer. Now I get the google screen but when it's supposed go to the "decrypt" phone screen it's just black.

I can get into Recovery, can I use ADB to pull/push a new build.prop?

Yes. Well needs to match what you had before

Is there a guide somewhere for ADB? I haven't had to used it in a few years.

Boot into recovery.

Code:

adb shell mount /system
adb pull /system/build.prop

Edit the file with a Unix compatible editor like notepad++ (not notepad)
Change the DPI back to normal and save

Code:

adb push build.prop /system/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop

Reboot and all should be well

How can I get ABD to see it? keeps saying device not found, on both a mac and windows 8.1 machine.

EDIT: I got impatient and just reflashed the stock 4.4.2, all good now.
