How to change the string value of HW Rev ? (MP X.YYYY) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All ,
So when you type *#12580*369# you get into an android configuration view screen:
"Main version
AP: I9300XXXXXX
CP: I9300XXXXXX
CSC: I9300YYYYYY
RF cal: [Date]
HW Rev: MP X.X00 (i.e. 1.400)"
I would like to change the HW Rev value to something else, but i can't find it's property in /system/build.prop
Does anyone know where that string is being saved and loaded while entering the screen above ?
Thanks
Idan

It's a piece of software that shows that number so why can't i trace it and manipulate it ?
even if it's a hardware call, it must be done via some kind of cli application.

[Q] Theme Installation Problem: "mount: Operation not permitted" (Fixed)

I apologise is a similiar issue has been posted on several occasions. I did try the search and couldn't get a solution for my trouble.
As the title saids I am trying to install the Dark10 Series theme but in the CMD box on my laptop I get the error
"mount: Operation not permitted"
Also:
"cannot open for write: Read-only file system"
I am guessing the above error has somthing to do with root. Although I am clueless to be brutally honest.
If someone can give me a simple helping hand I would appreciate it.
Not very knowledgable on the whole adb thing and commands etc.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit:
Model number: X10i
Firmware version: 1.6 (Duh! )
Baseband version: 1.1.31
Kernal Version: 2.6.29-rel
[email protected] #2
Build number: R2BA026
Fixed the problem, was somthing to do with the shell being locked or somthing. Got it working though!
Steps I took:
1. Add the java thing to Enviroment Variables (Computer>System properties>advanced settings>enviroment variables)
Path: )\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\android\tools\;
Then got a file that unlocks adb script (search forum)
And that was it sorry cant be of more help I zone out when i have a problem and concentrate on fixing it without really knowing what i am doing
U should post the solution and put fixed in the title to help others.

post detailed steps of solution
i always face the same problem
thx in advance
I had the same problem. What you need to do is open darker 10 launcher and go to option 7 from the list. Read the instructions carefully and at the prompts on the screen type in the code supplied.
From what I understand it adds Additional script to your phone that allows you to mount the image.
Make sure phone is in developer mode.

thx a lot it workd
Thanks for posting this topic,
I would've spent the whole night on this and probably still wouldn't be able to figure out anything!
I have similar problem with one of the themes.
UNSECURING THE SHELL
Type each of these at the given prompt and press enter after each line.
Dont type the prompt <$ or #> itself!
$ su <NOW CHECK HANDSET FOR A SU REQUEST>
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh
# exit
$ exit
What should i type in $ su ? also if smb can, type all the lines correct,im not a programmer :/

[Q]setprop from script to change ro. properties

Just say i want to change properties of something in the build.prop... now this would normally be done by setprop...
But what if i want to disable the phone function ... i cannot call setprop on a read only property (ro.) like follows:
Code:
setprop ro.phone.function 0
Is there a way around this ... or some way that i can change the like starting with "ro.phone.function=" in a sh file?
Thanks

How to modify ro.(read only) property
Hi
I've released setpropex program, which can modify value of ro. property.
http://t.co/mMtzylU7
It uses ptrace, so you need root permission to use it.
thanks.

In KitKat algorithm has changed (androidcodesearch.com/source/bionic/libc/bionic/system_properties.c). But with some modification in your code it still works. General idea and generic code are correct. Thanks!

Have you published the changes somewhere? Having a working setpropex for KitKat would be great.
Does this still work on Nougat?

Request: Please send eMMC CID data

Hello fellow XDAers!
I'm looking into something and need to kindly request some data from Note owners for comparison. We found a potential attempt to fix this and want to check Note eMMC cid data to see if it matches.
Can you please run the following from adb shell?
(Thanks to sfhub for original steps, two additions to it.)
[email protected]:/ $ su

Please copy and paste the results (examples in italics) and either PM or add here when possible. I need to expand the sample set as much as possible so those who can do it it is much appreciated!

Thank you - when you have time can you check the entire cid string ("cat cid" from the same directory as before) and post here? I'm looking at this to find your serial (without the '0x' as that is a hex identifier) and then see the 2 characters immediately to the left of that. According to the bugfix this is the eMMC firmware revision - but as you can see above it's not reporting in the separated field.

You can't change it unless you're building the kernel. The version is hardcoded into your zImage.
When building, in .config change the
Code:
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=""
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y
Setting it via menuconfig is easier.
Menuconfig>general setup>local version

my device kernel sources dont support menu config,

Retrieve complete soc name on Android

Hello,
I try to retrieve complete soc name programmatically on an Android device like it made on CPU-Z app for example that displays for my device :
Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 @ 1.89Ghz / Architecture : Krait 300 / Model : APQ8064T
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By reading /proc/cpuinfo file and /sytem/build.prop I could have the following data :
Board : MSM8960 / Manufacturer : qcom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can also find CPU max clock.
But, it's impossible to me to get the same information that CPU-Z displays programmatically. Do you know how the app makes that ?
For example, where it finds Soc Architecture and Model ?
And then, to get complete name as Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, how they make that ? It's written somehow ? Or, they have a sort of database with board id and manufacturer with complete informations associated ?
Thanks for your answers.
Sylvain
Any ideas ?
