Yeah doesn't work on desire.Try searching for the update hosts file on hee. It's posted in many of the ROM threads - does the same thing - you flash the zip from recovery and Robert is your Mum's brother
Can you give me a link?
I have searched a lot but without any result
Thanks

I'm not on my home pc to upload the file. Its called "ad blocking host file" which you flash in recovery. I posting the file in the official sense froyo rom thread, but can't remember what post it is. Do a search for it.

However I tried to flash this via clockworkmod recovery and I get "can't mount system" - disappointed as I thought I had rooted yesterday using unrevoked.

Try it manually.
Extract the host file, type "mount /system" in the recovery adb shell and if that works, push it to /system/etc/hosts.
Any way to push files directly from phone and without using adb?

Sorry, resolved this now. Please re-download
Thanks!!!
Now works very well.
A question now: is now possible or necessary to update the file via adfree o will I attend for a new version from you?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Up to you. AFAIK Adfree just uses the MVPS hosts file, I personally use that and Peter Lowe's list that blocks more adtracking sites etc.
Sorry, I don't understand :-(
I have android from 3months and don't know all
Thanks again for your help

okay so I have been rooted for some time now and decided i wanted to unroot (for reasons im still trying to figure out) so now i am on 2.1 update 1 and cannot update to froyo. when i go to settings>about phone>system update it says my phone is up to date and when download the official 2.2 update and rename it to update.zip and try to install it it says a bunch of stuff then e: error in sdcard update.zip (status 7) update aborted. my radio (baseband) version 1.00.03.04.06 . i have done the PB1IMG thing then tried to update and i get the same thing! I am pissed!
any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt
I haven't unrooted in a long time, but maybe it's related to the fact that you're still on the old radio? You might need to be on the official froyo radio which is 2.15.00.07.28
Thank you how do I get the new radio?

Be sure to take extra care when flashing radios. Don't pull the battery while it's updating and even if it looks like it's not doing anything, LEAVE THE PHONE ALONE. Read up in that topic for more information on how to flash radios.
I appreciate your help, I will study up and perform the update tonight. When I post back tonight with the results hopefully I will be updating to froyo

If you are going to go through the trouble of updating the radio and then hope the OTA will push, why not install the update? Its the same process and you'll be assured you have the 3.26 build.
Because I can not install the update right now if you read my first post I explain. It says update aborted

Your doing it wrong. My idea is you would be using hboot to flash the update. It will work and not fail.
You issue using the update.zip idea is phone is checking for files that aren't there and then aborting. Hboot will not look for these files and will upgrade you.
An even easier idea would be just to run the ruu if you have a windows PC.
I'm just trying to save you time and headache. You don't have take my advice.

alright, I flashed the new radio(2.15.00.07.28) and i am still having the same problem, not being able to update, either way(manual or by ota) and i am still frustrated. the one weird thing is that after i flashed the new radio when i went to recovery to try ro manual update it was clockworkmod!? I have no idea what the heck is up with my phone! does anyone have any ideas?
thanks,
matt

You will have to either reroot or flash clockwork through hboot when you are done if you want root again.

Don't open or unzip the file. Simply rename and move to SD card. Check the md5 to make sure the zip didn't go tits up during download.
The ruu is a .exe. I'm in class and don't have time to explain. Just Google it.

I perm rooted my G2 last night and I have been trying to install the nexdroid ROM for several hours. I followed all the directions and I booted to recovery, wiped all my memory, and when I clicked on the zip file to install, it said something along the lines of:
Cannot find update
Installation aborted.
So later I tried to install the cyanogenmod ROM and the same exac thing happened. I checked with terminal emulator to see that I am still rooted and I still have S-OFF. Any help would be appreciated because the nexdroid ROM looks amazing.

Are the files on the root of your SD card? If you can find and select the file and it aborts the install it could be a bad file download. I'm not really sure as I've never had that happen.
Either way, If you post this in the Q & A forum you are 100% more likely to get some useful help.

okay, first off im gonna start out saying i am a samsung user and know nothing about htc. my buddy got an evo 4g for free and he wants me to root and install a rom, so i figured out i need s-on but have no idea how to do it. i tried the revolutionary thing but i entered the beta code and it always says invalid. please help! how do i do this?
Check your Hboot version first, if you haven't already done so. You can check the version by going into the bootloader (volume down+power). If it's 2.18 you'll have to use the Htcdev method to unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and root the phone. Revolutionary won't work with the newest Hboot. Incidentally, you don't have to have S-OFF to install a ROM or flash kernels, for that matter. So long as the bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted with a custom recovery, you're good to go.

For that h boot u can use revolutionary. First u need to install drivers ,make sure u check on usb debugging and unknown sources When u enter beta key make sure its entered correctly it is case sensitive from my PC36100 using xda premium
I found it worked much better just to copy the beta key and then paste it once prompted to enter it. It seems like a lot of people were getting errors trying to manually type the key in, but hey, if it works, it works

Okay, dumb question. When you entered the serial number of the phone to get the key, did you make sure you didn't use O for 0 (zero)? Not sure that could be part of the issue but worth looking at. I honestly can't think of anything else at this point. I remember when Revolutionary first came out last year, people were having a lot of issues with getting the beta key accepted. I for one didn't have this issue so I'm at a loss at this point.

ok so i check for the boot loader version then what? i then install a custom made one from my computer? then i make a backup onto my sd card or comp? i have titanium but it says i need to be rooted...also...when do i instal the kernal? and where the heck do i find this stuff?:banghead:

If I recall correctly, there is a su binary file that you have to flash from recovery once you've run Revolutionary. It's a zip file that's in the Revolutionary guide. Running the su binary is what actually gives you root. You'll need to make sure that you have the app Superuser or SuperSU installed, as it will actually give permission for root apps (such as Titanium Backup) to operate. As far as kernels and such, look under the development section there, as there is a ton of great info there
Also, once you get rooted, I'd suggest going into Recovery and making a full Nandroid backup, especially if you plan on flashing a ROM or kernel. It'll come in handy if you get in a tight spot down the road.

I'm not sure what the problem was but I ended up updating to gb with 2.18 hboot then downgraded to android 2.2 then ran the unrevoked program then flashed a rom. Worked perfectly.

Have your phone on with USB debugging and unknown sources enabled. Plug in the USB and open the rooting .bat file. Choose option 2 then hit enter. Open backup & restore and restore the rootme backup. Don't touch it from there (unless a box pops up on the phone which you can hit okay) phone will reboot and it should do its thing. The .bat file screen will tell you everything so read what it says. Shouldn't be any hitting of any other option except 2 for the Sony phones.

Pretty ridiculous for ATT to leave that app out to begin with.
This method has worked for me on all the ics fws, so I don't know. Maybe it was a bad flash, try wiping and flashing ics again.
