[MOD] Fix Protected Apps not Showing on FroYo

---

This is just a simple build.prop mod to fix the fingerprint back to the working ERE27 one used in CM. Everything in Settings still shows FroYo, but the Market sees you as ERE27 & thus gives you your protected apps back

To install run this from the directory you unzip the file to:

ADB Method:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/build.prop
adb push froyo.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell reboot

Then, once it reboots, go into the dialer, and type

*#*#CHECKIN#*#*

which is

*#*#2432546#*#*

for those of you who are too lazy to read the letters

A message should pop up into the status bar after a few seconds depending on your connection speed saying checkin succeeded.

Now you're good to go, open Market and download away

EDIT: Since I know some of you will wonder what this does, it just changes the ro.build.fingerprint & ro.build.description settings back to ERE27. This alone would normally be enough, but you're depending on luck to when you next check in. Dialing that code in the Dialer will force a checkin.

EDIT 2: Thanks to Shafty023 here is a method for the shell:

LINUX SHELL METHOD

Copy froyo.zip to /sdcard, then open a Terminal shell on your phone

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
reboot

Upon booting back up, open Dialer and type in the following code

*#*#2432546#*#*

Once you see a notification in the notification bar that says checkin succeeded you can now open Market and are done.

Nice! Trying it now.

EDIT: Working great so far. Thanks!

Nice job Geniusdog254! really nice

thanks!

Grrr... adb has been broken for me for months. Any way to fix this without adb?

Use one of the root file explorers to unzip the file, delete the old build.prop, put the new one in, and then type the command in the dialer

Works like a charm, thanks!

Worked great, THANK YOU!!!!!

I'm getting checkin failed. should I have renamed froyo.prop to build.prop?

edit: I'm able to see protected apps though.
