Yes I have been struggling with this one for a while and just had another look at the issues we face today
.... the answer is so simple you will kick yourself
The UnCoRuPtEd script needs a simple file replacing
Its the update-binary that is the issue, make sure you use the correct file for your mobile and put it into the META-INF\com\google\android
Mine now works a treat

aaaahhhh but does the above script check for any entries already there to avoid duplicate entries in the build.prop
the script from UnCoRupTeD here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19093919&postcount=20
will make a backup of the build.prop and replace any entries found with the new ones
In my opinion UnCorUpTeD's script is better for the non-experts among us
