"Leaked" 2.1 Market Fix

[miharkula]

I was researching fingerprints of build.prop files in an attempt to see my missing market apps (thanks Skrilax_CZ for mentioning the fingerprint). I've tried the following 2 fingerprints and was able to see all the apps I wasn't able to see before. My guess is the reason the leaked 2.1 prop file fingerprint doesn't work is that it's not official yet and therefore not registered as a fingerprint with google.

ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_legend/legend/legend:2.1/ERD79/139791:user/release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/inc/inc/inc:2.1-update1/ERE27/161494:user/release-keys

I got the 2 fingerprints above from here.

After updating the prop file you will need to delete the market cache. I don't recall if I rebooted or not after updating and clearing the market cache. I used CacheMate to clear the cache as I wasn't sure if the recovery's clear cache would do it without resetting everything.

can you post the prop file or more description

so does that eris market fix app not work?

so does that eris market fix app not work?

The eris market app just updates the prop file also but it's signature update didn't work for me.

This works!

Here's how I did it.

1) Download Cachemate from market
2) Download Terminal Emulator from market
3) Start Terminal Emulator
4) Type "su" (don't type any of the quotes(") and press enter after each line)
5) Type "cd /system"
6) Type "mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"
7) Type "vi build.prop"
8) Use your dpad to scroll down to the line starting "ro.build.fingerprint..."
9) Press "i" on your keyboard
10) Type the # symbol at the start of the line
11) This one is tricky - press the alt key then press and hold the centre of your dpad then press 1 (the letter q).
12) Press "o"
13) Type "ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/inc/inc/inc:2.1-update1/ERE27/161494:user/release-keys"
14) Alt then Dpad centre + 1 (see step 11)
15) Type ":wq"
16) Reboot your phone
17) Run Cachemate
18) Market should now work!

There's probably an easier way, but this is how I did it as I couldn't save the file any other way!

You can also use Root Explorer or Es File Explorer w/ root, open the file in the text editor comment out the default build then add either of the 2 keys posted below:

ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_legend/legend/legend:2.1/ERD79/139791:user/release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/inc/inc/inc:2.1-update1/ERE27/161494:user/release-keys

In my case I used the N1 key posted on another thread and it seems to have fixed it.

adb remount, then:

Use adb shell & copy paste the lines:

# sed -ie "s/ro.build.fingerprint/#ro.build.fingerprint/" build.prop
# echo "ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_legend/legend/legend:2.1/ERD79/139791:user/release-keys" >> build.prop

[cliqcliqpow]

adb remount, then:

Use adb shell & copy paste the lines:

# sed -ie "s/ro.build.fingerprint/#ro.build.fingerprint/" build.prop
# echo "ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_legend/legend/legend:2.1/ERD79/139791:user/release-keys" >> build.prop

leave build prop out in the second line?

[azarcliq]

nvm.

15) Type ":wq"

said q is not implemented?

[rabbit80]

q is quit. ":wq" should write the file then quit - if not just do ":w" then ":q" - or reboot your phone after the ":w"

Are you sure you are typing the colon? (Alt then v)

Confired worked for me, i just used the verizone one, copied the build.prop to my SD, edited it with my laptop, and saved and copied back to system.

[theallseingeye]

I'm really not sure, but I found when I rebooted my phone. Installed a new application (any application), searched up an application already installed and not in the list, uninstalled it. Checked my list and saw them all there now

Hope that makes any sense.

[rabbit80]

Not really, but sounds like it is working (which is good!)
