I edited my build.prop to tweak my phone. I made a oopyof the file as backup and named it, build.prop-Copy.. When I rebooted the phone stays stuck in "Samsung Galaxy S3" logo. I entered TWRP recovery to see if I can rename the backed up copy to build.prop and then delete the bad build.prop. But when I enter one of the options for file system in recovery, I cant find the file!! I went into /system and all I saw there was bin folder. I swear to f***ing god this makes no sense!!
I also made a nandroid before using CWM recovery. But I uninstalled Rom Manager but not CWM. I dont know if its still there. And I dont know where exactly this nandroid is.
Please help me guys!! This is seriously killing me!

What exactly is this folder? It says it was modified today, but I don't recall downloading or modifying any files that had to do with clockwork. I did go to rom manager and tell it to flash recovery or whatever the first option is, but I'm still on the same version I had before.
I'm using DJ Droid Rom 1.3 which has the boot animation linked into data/local. When i installed the BrightSense mod it changed my boot animation. I now what to use the R2D2 boot animation and have written an update zip but it doesn't work. I get the message update complete but the boot animation doesn't change from the BrightSense one when i reboot. Can someone please take a look at my update.zip and see if i have missed anything. Any help would be much appreciated

As far as ik know, you just need to copy/paste the bootanimation.zip with a filemanager to data/local on youre phone
do i need a file manager on my phone such as astro or something on my pc so i can view /data

just install astro file manager (from the market) on your phone, you can do that from your device itself, you don't need your pc

You do, but not on youre pc. You do it on the phone. Astro or EStrong i.e. And check data/local. If the bootanimation is in there you might try copying/paste the one you want directly to that directory and reboot. Then see if the animation has changed.
in astro i dont see a local folder in /data. Its as if it is hidden. When i plug into the pc i can go in dat but there's no local. If i search for bootanimation through windows it finds data local but when i open the containing folder it doesn't show a local folder
I think i found it by going to astro then hit up then go to system/bin and there is where i found the bootanimation file. I hope that is the right one let me know if that works for ya so i can try it.

your method is right but i still cant see anything in data through ASTRO. Did exactly the same in root explorer and it worked. I know have the R2D2 droid startup. Only thing is i cant get the sound to work on start up
i tried to root it yesterday and now the phone is useless.
when i turn on the device it's go straight to clockwork recoverymode
i tried to copy files into it, and it seems like i was coped but when i look in with the clockwork file broswer i cant see any files.
i really need help on this one.

You'll have to re-flash the ROM you are on.
I'd try to copy and paste the /system/app folder from the zip file of the ROM (using AROMA file manager in CWM recovery) but that might not be stable and all your user apps will be gone with the data and property files still there.
So it's probably easier and safer to just do a data/cache/dalvik cache wipe and reinstall the ROM
If that doesn't work you might have to re-flash the firmware.
Ur ph bricked..try to flash it again..

Please help.. Updated my T-Mobile GS4 to 4.3 and tried to fix the root access that was ruined by update.. Seemed to root ok, but custom recovery wouldn't stick.. keeps reverting back to stock... I read that a fix was to just "re-name" the system/etc/install-recovery.sh file to resolve the issue... I remembered doing this for a different phone with similar problem without a hitch.. Renamed "system/etc/install-recovery.sh" to "system/etc/fix-annoying.bug" Not only did this renaming fail to resolve problem, but it was causing new ones Can't even install custom recovery now... So I simply tried to change name back to normal, and look for a different fix for the custom recovery problem. But "now" I'm stuck with problems in that "etc" directory.. It seems I was able to rename the "install-recovery.sh" file back to normal, but ever since making the changes I can't install the custom recovery at all.. Renaming appeared to restore the install-recovery.sh file, but it left a residual copy of that "fix-annoying.bug" file in the "etc" directory... I tried to delete it, but the system attempts to delete it, but just freezes/hangs on the "delete" operation until I perform a battery pull... So now, I can't even install a custom recovery.. before renaming that file I could at least flash the custom recovery.. Yes it would quickly revert back to stock, but at least it would install... Now I can't even perform the install.. I assume it's because the system/etc files are messed up... Is there a way to replace them with "stock" versions of those files or that directory? already tried restoring phone to factory but that process doesn't affect those files... any help would be greatly appreciated.
It would be best for you to just Odin back to stock
