[problem] Phone stuck in a bootloop after editing build.prop (rooted with custom rec) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear fellas,
I replaced my build.prop file to an another one and my phone is not booting up anymore.
I have a rooted Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus, with custom recovery.
Can anyone advise what to do without wiping the phone completely and flashing a new ROM?
What I've tried doing:
- I had the original build.prop that the phone had before it got stuck.
- I used the file explorer in custom recovery, copied that file to the system folder in root.
- Rebooted the device, still no luck!
- After rebooting, when I reopen the recovery, and navigate to the system folder again, I don't find the file I copied to the system folder!
Any thoughts on the matter please? Thanks in advance!

Have you tried writing original Rom to the phone. Don't have much experience with that kind best I can suggest

If you can find one from a your rom on this site you could push through adb.. but if you can't then no.. With no custom recovery or back up of that file there is no way..
Do you have a way of refreshing your stock rom? If so do that

Yep, your choices are custom recovery (which also requires you to unlock your bootloader), and you can make a flashable zip with the services.jar file you need or reflash the entire stock rom. Lesson learned: don't make changes to the system without having a custom recovery and a backup.

[Q] I broke it

Hi guys!
I was hoping one of you could help me.
Yesterday i modified a build.prop file on my NextBook EBM8000ND (Next800T) tablet, causing it to get stuck in a bootloop every time it's turned on. I've been searching the Internet all day long but it's hard to find support when you have a device which no one in the world uses . It was rooted but I did a factory reset hoping that it would fix it. It didn't and now it's also unrooted. I tried to make a custom update.zip with the backup of the original build.prop file but the stock recovery simply refuses to load any update file. It always stops at verification. I used 7zip with store option. I tried signing the zip, I even edited the updater script to only print some text on the screen but the recovery still wouldn't load it. I tried to find a way to install CWM using sdcard but with no luck. When i tried to use ADB in recovery the device says: "failed to open driver control: No such file or directory". It might be worth mentioning that I found my device's ROM online with boot.img and recovery.img files and a .tar file which contains the original system folder.
Is there any way to make the stock recovery (since installing CWM or TWRP seems impossible) read my update file? Or is there another way to fix this? I only need to replace that single file.
Hoping to get help soon.
Cheers!

Flashing Issues | Will not pass Android Logo on XtreStolite ROM

Flashing Issues | Will not pass Android Logo
I have have the T-Mobile version of the S5 and it is currently running XtreStolite rom on lollipop. I have been messing around with the SystemUI and framework apks. (getting them to work every now and again)
However, I was searching around and tried to push the apk files through adb at first, instead of a complete reflash with the modified apks inside, with no luck. Adb says that the files were successfully sent but are not there and no changes are made. I then stumbled across a method using a flashable zip that is supposed to just replace the files I need.
I n doing so, after reboot the phone just sits at the Android Logo on powerup, them I have to reflash or restore my recovery. My question is this: Is there a method that allows me to setup a flashable zip with the system/priv-app/systemui/systemui.apk so that it will only replace those files and not the whole system folder itself?
There may be some more information that I am leaving out, sorry I have not slept all night and I am about to go to class.
Thanks in advance, if I have posted incorrectly, please advise.

Here download this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347782219
Extract and Add whatever directories/folders you want inside the system folder and flash. The script just extracts the system folder as a whole so as long as you make the correct folders, file names, directories etc it'll flash everything to the right spot.
Delete the jar file out of system/framework/ tho since it's a 5.1.1 jar file I did
Much obliged sir, worked perfectly. I'm sure it was the coding. [emoji2]

Wiped the already installed OS in Huawei Honor 7(PLK-UL00) and cannot reboot

I rooted my phone, and then i was trying to flash a Marshmallow Rom. For this, i wiped my system, boot, dalvik cache, internal memory. I forgot to take a nandroid backup. For some reasons, there was some error in flashing that zip file, so i tried to reboot my phone normally and it failed. When i reboot my phone, the company logo appears and it remain sticked there. For now, i could only access the recovery and fastboot. Please HELP me..... Thank you.....
You got exactly same problem with me but i have model: Honor7 Premium (PLK-L01)
Hi,
what did you expect? If you wipe de system partition then obviously the operating system is gone.
What you need to do is to download the full stock rom of your phone somewhere on the internet (needrom.com for instance if available).
You need to take the closest version of your old system and also the same technical name (PLK-UL00).
For instant if you were already on Android 6.0, you can no longer use a stock rom of Android 5.x.
When you have that full stock rom on your computer, you need to use multi-tools and use the unbrick option. Meaning you will be asked to extract the most important img files from the stock rom and to put them into a specified folder. The tool will then restore that rom on the partition file.
Kind reg,
I had android lollipop 5.0.2. Is it possible that i install the backup file of any other person's honor 7 PLK-UL00 running same android?
Hi,
please have a look there and use the stock rom that fits with your model and version.

Kr,
how do i flash an UPDATE. APP file?
Create folder called dload on your SDCard and copy Update.app file to your SDCard inside that "dload" folder.
Then shutdown your device and use 3-Button method(Vol- & Vol+ & Power button) to boot that to recovery, that should start installing "recovery" file what is that Update.app inside dload folder.
Sent from my PLK-L01 using XDA-Developers mobile app
i don't know but the 3-button method is not working. When i do so, it boots to the recovery and nothing happens. Anyways, i have copied the dload folder with update.app file to the sdcard.
Use Multi-Tools available in the forum. There is a little app where you will be able to extract all required files from the file update.app.
Then in multi-tools use unbrick option and it will install the stock rom correctly. ++

Thank you!!!!! Sebastien_be and everyone to help me... It worked very well.. Thank u guys so much for the help...

[CLOSED]Confused - two systems?

Hi,
I have recently been pulling build.prop from my phone using a booted twrp and mounting the system folder using twrp.
I am on linux, and the file appears in my home folder.
---fine--
I am no expert when it comes to the android system so can anyone explain this?
If I flash stock to my sony experia z2, I can pull build . prop from /system/build.prop.
However, after flashing lineage over stock, I seem to have two systems, and I pull build.prop from /system/system/build.prop?
Even if prior to flashing the stock rom with TWRP, I erase the stock rom ''system'' folder, after flashing I still have to navigate past two systems in order to get to build.prop?
I am guessing that is normal? - or am I doing something wrong?.
