[Q] build.prop file in Verizon HTC One M8 keeps on being overwritten/can't save topic


First off, I've been reading all around here, and this doesn't seem like an uncommon problem.
I'm trying to edit my build.prop file to be able to unlock APN access on my Verizon phone as I need to use it for T-Mobile.
My problem is that nothing in system files that I edit, including build.prop, will stick. I have used Root Explorer Pro, buildprop editor, adb cmd promps. My phone is rooted through weaksauce 2.

Once I edit file, I save it, set chmod to 644 and restart. The build.prop isn't being editted back to the default, it's just being replaced completely-- it will be right back to the default build.prop file that was originally there, with the same original create date and everything.
I've tried everything I know, and I absolutely cannot get anything to stay editted because no matter what I do, the phone will just replace my phones as soon as I boot.

My phone does not have a different ROM installed, and it is still S-ON, but I've tried to stay away from getting that far into it for something that I thought should be pretty simple to fix. Any advice?
