[SOLVED] Problem with editing build.prop

[Swift2603]

Hey guys,

I am facing the following problem:

Whenever I alter the build.prop I get stuck with red LED and black screen. It doesn't matter whether I edit it with root explorer or whether I edit the file inside the zip befor flashing.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Which ROM?

What are you trying to edit? What are you changing? It obviously does not like that change...

Oh yeah sorry...forgot to mention that...I just thought that other people might face this too...

I am on Quarx 11/02 build. I am trying to set the ring call delay from 3000ms to 300ms. I also tried to edit the values
ro.product.model from MB526 to MB525
ro.product.name from MB526_DFP to MB525_JOREM_U3

I touched nothing else.

thx in advance

Could you attach a modified version of build.prop for our perusal? /me wonders if there are spurious characters or character encodings in your edited copy...

Here it is.

CR/LF line terminators not welcome in build.prop...

Here it is.

I assume you used Windows to edit that file as there are CR/LF line terminators. Try the attached version which follows the normal Unix convention of ending lines with a single LF (I removed the CR's from the file you sent). If you use Windows to edit Unix-based files (Android is a (somewhat out of the ordinary) Linux distribution) you need to make sure you don't mess up the line endings; use an editor which respects the file's existing line terminators, eg. Notepad++.

Actually I edited it with the file viewer of the ESFileExplorer and it was saved in Unicode UTF-8. I tried to edit it with Notepad++ before but that also failed.

I will try it with your version and give feedback asap.

Thx!

EDIT: IT WORKS! Thanks again buddy!

Using the build.prop editor from the play store also solved the problem for me ... seems to be a issue from the ES file exploder?
