[MOD] Fix Protected Apps not Showing on FroYo
- Thread starter Geniusdog254

Hey buddy i feel u. I just went thru this myself. What i did was copied the froyo.prop file to the adb tools folder. In terminal when you run the commands for adb you must use ./ before the commands. I did not know this. I also am a noob. This worked for me and apps are now showing up for me. I hope this helps
Hi buddy, could you pls point me to where the adb tools folder is? I know i have to use ./, but where is this folder?
I have copied the file to /system in my sd card, and also the android-sdk-mac_86 folder, under tools.
I tried to ./adb reboot but it goes back to the black screen with the key lights still on...
yes, but when Google activates the Froyo market fingerprint then just switch back. What I did was copy the existing build.prop to new.build.prop and then copy the froyo.prop to /system as build.prop. So when I need to revert it's just a matter of renaming build.prop to old.build.prop and renaming new.build.prop to build.prop, rebooting, and running the check-in code in Dialer
Google hasn't activated the fingerprint for Froyo to activate paid apps yet. It's retarded I know, they should be doing it soon
Guys for everyone having issues it is this simple.
ADB METHOD
UNZIP froyo.zip and inside you have froyo.prop
Upon booting back up, open Dialer and type in the following code
Once you see a notification in the notification bar that says checkin succeeded you can now open Market and are done.
LINUX SHELL METHOD
Copy froyo.zip to /sdcard, then open a Terminal shell on your phone
Upon booting back up, open Dialer and type in the following code
Once you see a notification in the notification bar that says checkin succeeded you can now open Market and are done.
ADB METHOD
UNZIP froyo.zip and inside you have froyo.prop
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/build.prop /system/new.build.prop
adb push froyo.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell rebootUpon booting back up, open Dialer and type in the following code
Code:
*#*#2432546#*#*Once you see a notification in the notification bar that says checkin succeeded you can now open Market and are done.
LINUX SHELL METHOD
Copy froyo.zip to /sdcard, then open a Terminal shell on your phone
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system
mv build.prop new.build.prop
unzip /sdcard/froyo.zip
mv froyo.prop build.prop
rm /sdcard/froyo.zip
rebootUpon booting back up, open Dialer and type in the following code
Code:

Yes but only if you already installed it, if you haven't already installed it you shouldn't be able to. I haven't verified but seems logical since Adobe verified against your fingerprint to allow you to see the download link in the first place.
I am new to this rooting stuff. I downloaded the zip file but I am not sure what to do with the code at the top of the page. Where do I type this in and where do I put the zip file?
When froyo is more official and protected apps actually do show up
is there anything not advantageous in having the ere27 file, how do you go back eventually

Just do this (if your rooted)
- Download the file
- unzip it to your desktop
- copy the file to your sd card
- rename the file to build.prop than copy it
- delete the old build.prop
- now paste it in the same system folder
- restart your phone
- dial *#*#2432546#*#*
- You see a message on top after a little while.
- when you see the mesaage your set!
Thanks to the OP. This, combined with the paid apps tab by editing vending_preferences.xml and MarketEnabler, I'm all good.
To those are are interested, do backup your original file. Just keep a copy around by another name (build.prop.bak works). Once the Froyo is release to the mass public, you can restore the original, just to be safe.

Worked great for me, thanks! Was still able to find Flash 10.1 Beta and install (To my SD nonetheless
).
