Help

Sorry guys can someone give us brief instructions on how to do this. DO i use terminal on my mac? Do I load on SD and do it via the phone. Sorry its a bit confusing for me. Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] Mutalemwa:
Works.. Thanks brah
[Nexus One Android Development] NotUrAvrg:
For those of us that don't use adb, where can I find the .prop file on the phone?
[Nexus One Android Development] ruvanist:
Ok guys i really need help here.

Im quite a noob with terminal for mac.

I followed the instuctions till adb shell reboot. The phone rebooted but was at a black screen.

I now can boot into bootloader mode using the usb cable.

What next? Can I have a noob friendly step by step guide pls? Assuming I totally do not know anything?

I think i may have screwed it up while pushing the froyo.prop.

Can I do it with the sd card or anything?

Pls help bros. THks......
[Nexus One Android Development] trinode:
I'm confused. Why does the froyo fingerprint not get access to protected apps?

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
[Nexus One Android Development] ruvanist:
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...
[Nexus One Android Development] madjpm:
NICE !! Work great !

Now I can have my apps back on my phone thx !
[Nexus One Android Development] taker888:
OK, Um.. How do you install this file. I need directions. Codes is not going to do enough.
[Nexus One Android Development] at314:
I have a small question. Does this Fingerprint will stop me from seeing Froyo specified apps?

[Nexus One Android Development] shafty023:
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
[Nexus One Android Development] shafty023:
Google hasn't activated the fingerprint for Froyo to activate paid apps yet. It's retarded I know, they should be doing it soon

What about flash player? Its made for froyo. Can u see it after this mod

Guys for everyone having issues it is this simple.

ADB METHOD

UNZIP froyo.zip and inside you have froyo.prop

adb remount
adb shell mv /system/build.prop /system/new.build.prop
adb push froyo.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell 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.

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.
[Nexus One Android Development] shafty023:
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.
[Nexus One Android Development] floridasrt:
Worked great!! Thanks for taking the time to make it simple and easy!
[Nexus One Android Development] acantril:
seems protected apps are working now anyway ? but many thanks anyway.
[Nexus One Android Development] milton007:
Wow...that was a BIG issue w me

THANKS a bunch man...that was a game saver!
[Nexus One Android Development] stavasebff:
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?
[Nexus One Android Development] SS2006:
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
[Nexus One Android Development] JasjarMan:
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!
[Nexus One Android Development] ebernie:
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.
[Nexus One Android Development] sn707:
Worked great for me, thanks! Was still able to find Flash 10.1 Beta and install (To my SD nonetheless:D ).
[Nexus One Android Development] stavasebff:
newbie to rooting and I know I need to chage the fingerprint of my phone so I can see protected apps. Although I downloaded the file I am not understanding how to run it and use the code given can anyone help me?
[Nexus One Android Development] stavasebff:
Sorry I didnt see the earlier reply...the problem I am still having is that I cant find the old build.prop file to replace should it be obvious on my sd card?
[Nexus One Android Development] sn707:
It's not on the SD card, it's under SYSTEM in the devices memory. I copied mine to the sd card before I ran the commands. Did you make a copy?
[Nexus One Android Development] RinTinTigger:
Works like a total charme! THANK YOU ALL!
[Nexus One Android Development] faizalmzain:
the paid apps already showing for me this morning without patch.
[Nexus One Android Development] DOHCtor:
Nice! Time to revert.

Edit: Are you sure? Are you able to see gameloft games or the NBA app by NBA Digital? Go check and let us know. Also, try searching for Smart Keyboard Pro, let me know if you can find it.
[Nexus One Android Development] zomgzombies:
i have official Froyo and no paid apps yet :(
[Nexus One Android Development] DOHCtor:
I have the official Froyo as well, not the rooted one from Paul. Even though I have an unlocked bootloader, I still loaded up the shipping ere27 rom and flashed the official Froyo right on top of it. Before flashing Cyanogen's quick root, I checked the market and still wasn't able to see protected apps. I thought it was because I have an unlocked bootloader, but my friend who has a locked bootloader with the official Froyo update is also unable to see protected apps. Like everyone has been saying, it's all on google's side, they're the one that's blocking. Until then, push the modified build.prop into your system and you're good to go.
[Nexus One Android Development] faizalmzain:
not sure about the games, but the market seems back to normal, there's "top paid" bar showing up this morning when i open the market, previously only "top free" and "just in" bars available.

i guess they are releasing it batch by batch. this morning when i realized the market back to normal i search for my purchased app mybackup pro, but it's still unavailable but later in the afternoon, i search again and there it is mybackup pro show up in the search result.
[Nexus One Android Development] DOHCtor:
That's not the problem. The problem is being able to see "protected" apps. The ones that are installed in app-private.
[Nexus One Android Development] NotUrAvrg:
I tried this from my phone, and it stated that it was a "read only" file. I'm on vacation and wont have access to a laptop for a few days. Any suggestions?

i can find Smart Keyboard Pro and there's a few paid apps by NBA
[Nexus One Android Development] sputnik99:
Could those of you with the stock froyo, showing the protected (and paid) apps, post their build.prop?

MAybe we can check the differences from Pauls froyo ...
[Nexus One Android Development] sputnik99:
But I don't have Top paid either. Paid apps are shown without the patch, protected apps and "top paid" not.
[Nexus One Android Development] hotweiss:
The fix partially works for me. The protected apps that I bought show up when I search for them, but they don't show up in my Download list after I install them.

Edit: a reboot fixed this issue
[Nexus One Android Development] davelis828:
i was thinking of doing this,but today another protected app showed up in my market downloads

patience people
[Nexus One Android Development] wutang01:
Omg, I finally got this working.

Thank you Geniusdog254 for this fix!

Because I needed to get install this fix, I've finally learned how to do the ADB business.

I'm hoping this line:

adb shell mv /system/build.prop /system/new.build.prop

Was renaming the old build.prop to new.build.prop? So if I wanted to restore that build.prop, do I do:

adb shell mv /system/new.build.prop /system/build.prop?

PS: Please forgive my ignorance!! =(
[Nexus One Android Development] stavasebff:
where do you go to get to the system portion of my phone. I have the file renamed and is on my sd card. But from there I dont know if I understand what to do. I am new to this and i dont know how to access the system to push the file.
[Nexus One Android Development] onna:
still have an app, that I've purchased that does not show.

I've rooted my phone and installed Froyo, it did not show certain apps in the market- like GameLoft apps, after I installed the fix- Gameloft apps showed up, but one of my paid apps did not- it is The operator from VesperaNovus, when searched I find their other 4 apps, but not the operator- it is their SMS and call managing app.

Any reason why?

I have second android phone which is on 2.1 and locked, there it shows up just fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] svet-am:
I am having multiple issues....

The adb instructions aren't working for me because "adb remount" says "operation not permitted." Do these steps require the phone to be rooted? Am I missing something simple?

I went to the market and I'm seeing paid apps all over the place but I'm not seeing any of the protected apps like MLB At Bat 2010 or the official NBA app.
[Nexus One Android Development] stavasebff:
I found the build.prop in the sytem folder but the File manager apps I have used wont let me cut and paste very well and so I am afraid to delete the original build.prop for fear that i wont be able to paste the new on back in the system folder that it needs to be in. Is there a way to do it from my computer instead of the phone? Also I dont know how to access and use adb and that is probably one of my problems, could someone help me with this I am new to this stuff.
[Nexus One Android Development] deception_:
Does anyone have the original build.prop - I forgot to back mine up before I pushed the new one over.
[Nexus One Android Development] DOHCtor:
here you go. extract it, don't rename it.
[Nexus One Android Development] stari4ek:
It doesn't work on HTC Hero with 2.1 based on sprint rom.

Don't get any notification after entering it.

Is there any other way to force system re-checkin?
[Nexus One Android Development] realmrmax:
This is for 2.2 Froyo, not for 2.1
[Nexus One Android Development] stari4ek:
which means that *#*#CHECKIN#*#* is for 2.2 only? (I don't care about build.prop, provided here, I'm interested in forcing re-checkin)

Is it true? Any other way to force it?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Actually that has worked for me all the way back since the 1.1 days, and I didn't have a phone during the 1.0 days, so it SHOULD work on any version. I don't think it works on SenseUI ROMs though
[Nexus One Android Development] stari4ek:
I see the problem =(

Thanks a lot.

Missing the market place

Any one ever had an issue where all the google addons install but the market.. I have G-tak Gmail ect... But no market place... running out of ideas I have flashed Gapps..:confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] bigballa:
my protected apps are back

i made a hybrid build prop with the video codec fix and ur market fix

now my market lags like hell but i got paid apps (e.g. pure calendar widget/flight control)

could u tell me what u added in your build.prop?

i was only able to see the difference in the part where u have

am i missing some other lines?
[Nexus One Android Development] bigballa:
if you are on 2.2 then the market should have installed

if u dont have it

and u came from CM 5.0.6/7 then do a complete wipe
[Nexus One Android Development] OrganizedFellow:
I can also confirm this works.

Perhaps my MOST used app is Pure Calendar widget (agenda) by Francois DESLANDES

I did a search for his apps, I only got 6 results.

After the fix, I get all 7.

[Nexus One Android Development] ToneSoFly:
is this reversible?? Can we put it back to normal

Well if so because it worked but when google does fix the fingerprints for froyo i would like to go back to the froyo.prop like i never touch it before i did anything if so can some one please tell me how would i type the adb coding in the teminial to redo what i did and get rid of ere27 and im really good in adb so help would be appercted thanks alot.:D
[Nexus One Android Development] jettrue:
Thanks! I got my Lock Delay and Pure Calendar widget back! Can't live without either! :p

ETA: Dang darn, Lock Delay doesn't work on Froyo, and Pure Calendar is buggy on Froyo. :(
[Nexus One Android Development] OskarStark:
adb runs,

have a non rooted nexus one with manualley installed 2.2 update

error:

remount failed: Operation not permitted

What should i do?
[Nexus One Android Development] stavasebff:
I still havent been able to make this work. I must be using the wrong file manager app or I am just not doing this right, because i cant copy and paste the files in the right folders. I can t coppy the new build.prop into the system folder. I got my pure calendar back only because Francois DESLANDES sent me the .apk file and then I installed from my sdcard. There are a number of other apps that I cant get still though. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus One Android Development] iammcse:
Not working for me. I followed the instruction step by step and made sure the file has been removed and pushed over adb, and I also got "checkin suceeded" confimation. But when I search "Gameloft" I did not retrieve any results.

I have rooted FROYO. Build number still shown FRF50, is this the problem?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Thats all I changed, you probly should try a checkin again, that usually fixes slow Market.

Make sure you remount the system to r/w otherwise you can't push it.

You must be rooted to ADB remount.

Build number should stay at FRF50, try redownloading the file & pushing it again, that may help.
[Nexus One Android Development] stavasebff:
I guess my real proble is that I though I could just copy and paste and it will would be ok. I dont know how to use ADB, and that is my problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] slayer214:
Ok I seem to be having a problem deleteing the old build file. Is there a way to change it to read/write within a file manager? Everytime I try to delete it in linda file manager, it says the file was read only. I had a problem trying to do it with adb, and I think that was the cause.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
[Nexus One Android Development] shafty023:
Follow the link in my sig
[Nexus One Android Development] iammcse:
It is so werid. One day after I searched market again with the term "Gameloft" I got one result, "Dungeon Hunter Editor".

Searched "Pure Calendar widget" got no results.
[Nexus One Android Development] Saphroxx:
This may sound just a little bit offtopic but I have likely the same issue but on 2.1

I have set the ro.build.fingerprint and ro.build.description both to ERE27 (by default on CM5.0.7.1) but still cannot see any paid apps.

Is there any other parameter to be adapted perhaps to take effect on my market?

I have searched the CM5-thread for about have an hour and haven't found any other suggestions but uninstalling updates from market etc which did not work out for me.

FYI: I come from a wipe + clean install from latest CM5.0.7.1 without any other issue but this one.

Example of invisible apps: Contact2SD Pro, Beautiful Widget
[Nexus One Android Development] oc3rulz:
You rock! So awesome!!! I was really worried about this problem! I needed Square and it wasn't showing up. I luckily have a myTouch3G as well, so i used Androzip to make an app backup and took the .apk and copied to my nexus one. But I needed other apps that weren't showing up, your fix was simple and quick! Thanks alot!
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Try just the checkin command in the Dialer, it could be that El Goog's servers just don't recognize that you've signed in again yet.
[Nexus One Android Development] fredley:
Hey, when I try and do adb remount I get operation not permitted. Is this to do with losing root?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Yes. You have to have root
[Nexus One Android Development] Saphroxx:
No success. I don't get the message that I am succesfully logged in.

Cleared cache data of the Market process & retried but again it failed.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Hmm this is really weird. I went back to CM today and I noticed the exact same thing. Checkin doesn't seem to work, paid & protected apps show, but no paid apps tab & its slow as hell.

All symptoms of being not checked in. Strange indeed.
[Nexus One Android Development] bigballa:
the market eventually sped up

thanks man!

if u want i can post my build.prop with the video codec fix plus the market fix
[Nexus One Android Development] shpitzs:
not working for some Apps from Israel

Hi

I performed all the instructions successfully

still can't see the paid app i need (even with market access)

the App is roadsync...

any suggestions?

thanks

Adi
[Nexus One Android Development] NielDK:
I had the issue with the missing paid apps tab.

Solution to that is to go to settings, applications. Find Market and delete DATA and CACHE.

Then, when you open Market (will be slow on first run) it will show paid apps tab.

Remember to use marketenabler BEFORE these steps.

The trick works. You must remember to reboot after modifying the build.prop and use the *#*#CHECKIN#*#* command after a reboot.
[Nexus One Android Development] iammcse:
NOT WORKING HERE. Tried many times with "Checkin Suceeded".

May be I need "marketenabler" that I 've never tried before because I am located in Asia area. Is this why?
[Nexus One Android Development] Saphroxx:
I cannot see the paid app AND the paid app tab.

I have already extensively tested this CLEAR DATA and CACHE without success. (different situations, after a reboot, other Google account etc)

To my knowledge "Market-Enabler" is only a workaround for country-specific filtered items. The market is divided into regions and this app just pretends you to be in another region/country and thus allows you to download the app. It pretty much works like a the country-specific filter for youtube videos.

Any progress in your research Geniusdog254?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Yeah you should run market enabler, it's probably a problem with your locale. Try the T-Mo USA setting.

Well I figured I'd wipe & try again, and since I was wiping anyway I went the the Desire R22 ROM & it works fine after a checkin. Didn't get it working on CM before I wiped though.
[Nexus One Android Development] JD914:
This method worked for me. I did it with root explorer and all my previously purchased apps now show up! Thanks to those who guided us root noobs through this.
[Nexus One Android Development] alexguitar:
thanks man!

Thank you so much for making this noob friendly. I really appreciate all the work everyone does on this site. I tried using adb but for some reason it just wouldn't work. Now it's up and running using the emulator instructions! :)
[Nexus One Android Development] terrabytez:
Hey forum! I recently installed froyo on this beautiful nexus one. I must say I am impressed. I am having a problem getting my paid apps that were protected via DRM though. Here's the life cycle.

Purchased stock N1 with 2.1> Manual install of 2.2 from official Google servers (stock manual update)> DRM apps worked just fine.> Factory reset phone> DRM apps no longer available in market even tho I purchased them and kept receipts.

Everything else works just fine though.

Is there any known fixes for non rooted Nexus? Please lemme know what ya think!
[Nexus One Android Development] followinginsanity:
Many voiced concerns of being able to see Froyo specific apps after applying this Fix.

I decided to make it a little easier on everyone.

This will allow you to switch your build.prop whenever you wish.

It is a very simple shell script that does the file moving for you.

YOU MUST HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED

you have this if you used cyanogen's method, if you used Paul's method you'll have to install it.

YOU MUST HAVE GSCRIPT INSTALLED TO USE THIS

Download the attached .zip file

Place the "buildprop" folder in the root of your sdcard

Place both "bprop_switch..." files in the gscript folder on your sdcard

Open Gscript

Press menu and select Add Script

Press Load File button

Select first "bprop_switch..." file

Press Save button at bottom

Repeat for other file

After that all you have to do is open gscript and select which one to run.

bprop_switch_2.1-2.2 will give you stock froyo build.prop and let you see froyo only apps

bprop_switch_2.2-2.1 will give you the market fix build.prop

You can also create shortcuts directly on your homescreen for each script if you wish

As of now you still have to open the dialer and dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#*

but I am looking for a way to have the script do this.

Note: I reboot my phone after swapping build.props and checking in, as sometimes the apps don't show up until I do. But you may just be able to kill the market app to achieve this.
[Nexus One Android Development] king_dani:
i tried it on my nexus one , froyo stock (modaco) but to no avail. now can you tell me what's the latest on this? if i try it again ( last time it crashed the deviec i had to restore from NAND backup ) will i still be able to trick market to show all of them?
[Nexus One Android Development] king_dani:
on a totally unrelated note : can anyone tell me why i am not able to find official ebay app on market? it is supposed to be there from months before and i have managed to find it in online version of android market , but when i pushed it to my n1 , nothing showed up . anyone?
[Nexus One Android Development] followinginsanity:
Are you asking about the scripts I posted? or just doing what it said in the first post?
[Nexus One Android Development] king_dani:
just the first post , from the looks of it , it seemed to me that after your first post , somehow the protected apps are not visible anymore even after implementing your hack.

now i am no expert but , i tried everything and couldn't make it work , can you explain the commands you put in the first line, so i might be able to figure out what's wrong?
