Telstra NextG A8183 Reporting as A8181

[Guest Muskie]

(Making this cause Paul told me to on twitter, lol)

The A8183 reports as an A8181 after rooting to MCR r3. Due to Telstra using Device ID checks to restrict access to various Bigpond services, This locks us out of things like the telstra app store, the Mobile Foxtel app, and most importantly, The Telstra Mobile Data Usage checker.

Could we please get a fix for this issue, Paul?

You just need to re-push the stock build.prop.

If someone has a stock device, could you 'adb pull /system/build.prop .' and attach it here?

Thanks to wuttlebrush, we have the file: http://build.biboop.com/a8183_build_prop.tar.bz2

Any chance of telling us how to toss it in, or if it needs editing, or whatever? Thanks, Paul. :rolleyes:

Hmm. I've pushed the build.prop to the phone via ADB whilst in recovery, and it's still showing as an A8181

Grepping the /system directory I've found A8181 references in a lot of the customize/*/*.xml files.

May just be a matter of changing these to A8183. I'm trying myself by pushing the stock CID/default.xml and stock MNS/default.xml into a r3 build.

I don't have Telstra so I can't test, but I'll flash the image, make sure it "works" as far as a normal phone goes, if so I'll up the kitchen patch I made and you can give it a go.

Haven't tested so this might break things, but the zip I fed into the kitchen is here.

Hm ok, didn't seem to pick it up putting it into the kitchen file upload jigger. So I'll just adb push it after I've installed the image.
