Root Well, I deleted my HTC M8's Build.prop

I cant do anything with the phone right now. I have twrp installed and ist rooted but i cant boot into recovery mode because the phone is in some strange state or smth. if i plug it into my pc, it recognizes that i have plugged smth in but it wont do anything else..

Nothing you do to the ROM should stop it booting into recovery. Can you describe this "strange state"?

If in doubt, force a reboot (press and hold the power button for 10-20 seconds) then press and hold volume down the moment it restarts. You should then be able to select recovery from the bootloader menu. If that procedure doesn't work you've done something more profound than deleting the build.prop

Well it was strange idk. i opened my phone and unplugged and replugged the power. than i was able to get to recovery mode and i got everything ok with the build.prob now my only problem is to change the resolution because i f* up so bad with that and i am currently searching for that

My usual advice is never to change anything in /system without taking a nandroid first. That way if it goes wrong you can just restore.

(The one and only time I changed resolution on my phone I was very glad I'd taken my own advice! I never tried that again...)

Same thing happened to me and I thought I had bricked the phone. I could only turn it on by holding power+up and so couldn't get into recovery. Connected it to the laptop and typed 'adb reboot recovery' in to a command prompt which got me into recovery . Then I mounted the system partition and moved a copy of an unedited build.prop file there and all was good again!
