What you need;
Rooted phone
A way to edit your build.prop - build.prop editor, root explorer, etc.

First open your build.prop using yor prefered method and edit these two lines to look like this (MAKE A BACKUP FIRST);

Once it has been opened in text editor, search for the line “ro.product.manufacturer=HTC” (If it is an HTC phone), once you find this line put your cursor there, delete HTC and add “ro.product.manufacturer=LGE” as shown in the picture below
Once that is done search for the line “ro.product.model=Nexus One” (If the device is Nexus One) and change it to “ro.product.model=VS910 4G”

Save, reboot.

Open the box app and register for a new account and you should receive a 50GB account.

This offer ends on the 31st of March 2012 so make the most of it.

Dont forget to restore your original build.prop after u completed the above process.


Once these changes have been made press the menu button and select the option “Save and Exit”, this will save the changes and also create a backup
Once this has been done ,change R/W to R/O from top
Press Home and reboot the device
Once the device reboots open the Box application and register as soon as you register you will get a 50GB account
