Bricked my Scroll

Hi all I have a 7" capacitive scroll that i changed the build.prop on , unfortunately I didnt do the clockwork mod and now it sticks trying to boot on the android screen. I have tried resetting to factory defaullts to no avail and using update.zip but it wont recognise it (Ive read its something to do with it being '3e' ) . Any way can someone please help as its only 2 weeks old and my son isnt very happy and Im sure rooting it and changing the build has blown my warranty.

Thanks in advance

can you explain detail about "it wont recognise it"?

you put this update.zip http://www.storageoptions.com/assets/do ... update.zip on SD card and try to install it from recovery mode, right?
what error message displayed?

all he really needs to do is

copy original build.prop to adb directory

# mount

rootfs / rootfs ro 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=600 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /sqlite_stmt_journals tmpfs rw,size=4096k 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 ro 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock5 /data yaffs2 rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock4 /cache yaffs2 rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0711,dmask=0700,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,utf8 0 0

(FIND SYSTEM, IN THIS CASE /dev/block/mtdblock3 is the /system partition device file

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# push build.prop /system

and all should be fine :)

"adb remount" will do it
