Re: Free Cloud Storage for online backup (so far 48.75 Gb's free)
 

Basically Box.net is offering 50GB online storage (normally 5GB) to anyone with an LG or Xperia phone. If you dont have any of these phones you can still benifit from this offer by quickly editing your build.prop.

HOW TO GET FREE 50GB (BOX.net) STORAGE (your phone need to be rooted):

1. Download Box(v1.4.2.2) and install it on your Android device.
2. Use Root Explorer to edit the file build.prop in system folder (root/system):

edit these two lines to look like this (MAKE A BACKUP FIRST);
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
ro.product.model=VS910 4G

3. Reboot the device

4. Open the box app, either register for a new account or login using your 5 Gb account, and you should receive a 50GB account or account upgrade.

This offer had been extended til 3/30/12!!!
This offer ends on the 31st of December so make the most of it.
Don't forget to restore your original build.prop after.

If this works for ya, don't forget to hit the thanks button!! And if anyone needs(non root users), pm me your email addy with a temp password(for the box account) and I'll sign you up for one!!

Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing. I've tried everything in editing that build.prop file and it keeps saying I cannot edit because it is read only. Can you pm me the build.prop already edited or add it here?

I would post it for ya but i'm not sure if it'll work because our devices aren't exactly the same..ex: I'm running a 2.3.4 custom rom(synergy) and am afraid it might mess something else up on your device if all other info doesn't match up.

Which file explorer app are you using? If your using root explorer, once in the system folder you'll see across the top of the screen "mounted as r/o" with a "mount r/w" button right next to it. Click the mount r/w button to make it read/writable and try again. If that doesn't work I'll set up an account for ya.

Edit: just signed ya up for an account..check pm for more info!!

Thats what it was. Read Only Vs Re Writable. U R Da Man.

One other question. Just to make sure I understand.

Now that I edited the file to an LG device, even tho I have an HTC Evo 3D. I'm rooted but running stock rom. I should re edit the file back to original? Or I can delete the edited file, and replace with original or back up that I made of it. Is this correct?

didn't see youe edit til after I posted

Re: Free Cloud Storage for online backup (so far 48.75 Gb's free)
 

Cool glad it's working for ya now. Yeah either way will work for ya.. just copy/paste the original back into /system overwriting the (lg)edited or you could just re-edit the file back to manufacturer=HTC , model=PG86100.(not sure if its case-sensitive but I'd treat is as it was just in case). Rebooting afterwards should get you back to the defaulted build.prop. (can always double-check to be sure)

Thanks lnando this worked perfectly. I wanted to add that if you log off the box app and register with a different email address it will give you another 50GB on that email address. I guess to infinity (so far I've done it on 4 email addresses).:)
