That is exactly the message I get. The little research I have done says that you need to get back to the original build.prop file. I am not sure how to restore that file. I am using Droid Overclock and know that I have changed some of the build props. In some of the Build Properties it has a revert to stock option and some it does not. Either way, no update for me until I can restore those files.
