Changed DPI in build.prop can't access phone! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I changed the DPI in the build.prop, rebooted and when it got to the lock screen I couldn't see all the numbers to unlock the phone.
I tried pulling the build.prop with adb but it said the phone was offline
I tried a factory data reset thinking that would reset the build prop. Now I'm stuck in activation section!!
what can I do here? It's a core prime on 4.4.4 straight talk if that matters

Somebody please help me

Prevent Android System from Wiping?

hey guys please help me,
I got an Xperia Z from my Friend rooted and all that. he wants to lock that someone can wipe his system, so i flashed him twrp and locked it with an Password theme, whichs is working.
Problem is although it asks for an password if you boot into the recovery directly, it still wipes if i reset the phone with my normal settings.
can someone please tellme how can i rmove or disable or hide the Backup and Reset Tab in the Settings of the Xperia??
Thanks in Advance tho
You can set up a passcode/PIN/Pattern/etc to stop access to the Settings app itself, but have never seen a way to hide 1 specific thing in the Settings. If the phone is encrypted with a password, I think it requires the code before resetting, but am not 100% sure of that.

Neo V Crashing

Hi, If this thread is in the wrong forum,please move it.
I have a rooted Xperia Neo V (2.3.4 gingerbread). I started to do some changes to build.prop. I mistakenly changed the SDK version to 16 (although the original was 10 I think) and restarted. upon restarting,Google play and SuperUser crashed. I tried to launch some other apps but they crashed too. I could install ICS apps but they crashed as well.. only some small apps work including the stock apps. Now I can't reverse the change because whenever I open build.prop editor, it asks for root but SU crashes denying it..I tried factory reset,Unrooting and rooting again but same problem..I tried adb pull/push and successfully got the file but I can't send it back because the system is read/write protected or something...to change the read/write thing I need Su permission which I already can't get..I tried installing CWM recovery but now when the phone reboots a blue light flashes for some time and if I press a button(e.g volume down) the phone is stuck there until I take the battery out.The phone only boots up successfully If I don't touch it while it is booting up.
I have a backup of build.prop that I made with Romtoolbox.
What should I do now? Need some help.
Bump?
Help is needed Guys!
Seriously nobody on Xda forums can help me?
Wow. Nobody can help me here?(Bump)

DPI Change Problems

Recently I tried to change the DPI on my Samsung Galaxy Express 3 from AT&T through ADB, i installed all of the required drivers enabled USB Debugging and followed the guide perfectly, once my phone rebooted, System UI kept crashing, I eventually factory reset it. My question is, is there anyway to do this without System UI crashing?
PS: I cant root the phone or unlock the bootloader
Any help would be appreciated

Secure boot confusion

Hey hey,
I have a problem with the encryption on my ROG Phone.
Whenever I get a new device, one of the first things I do is to enable the requirement of a password before booting.
This worked for a while but is now miraculously disabled with apparently no way of enabling it?
Before I could only see a black screen where I was prompted to enter my password. Nothing else worked, which is desired.
Now after having changed exactly nothing myself it boots completely on its own without the need of a password and then asks for one to access the phone.
I feel that this is a security risk. Any know ways of fixing this except for a factory reset?
