I have rooted my G2 using the Visionary app, and I have spent all morning looking for the adblock app and have had no luck. Does anyone have or know where to get it please? Thanks.

Adfree is the only reason i'm using the temp root . If not, I would be waiting for the permanent root.
Doesn't seem to work for me. I get still get all the adds, even after rebooting the phone.
Yeah, I also installed and I am still getting lots of adds as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like a reinstall fixed the problem. Try it.
Oh, that seems to have worked. Thanks ddgarcia05!

Ad free hasn't worked on me G2 since day 1 of having root. Will try agin in a few but everytime I've tried it, it downloads the host files and then says ads have been blocked but a device reboot will help clear out the DNS.
That's all fine and good but 1, I still have ads. 2, when I reboot the device, I lose root thus losing everything ad free did...

have the same issue.
i cant try it now because i dont have reception at my work office, but maybe try adb shell and use the stop and start commands to do a soft reboot. it'll retain root from what i understand.

Use adfree to download the new hosts file then do
cp /system/etc/hosts /data/local/tmp

into your visionary.sh file to have it run on startup.
Run step1 again whenever Adfree updates the host file

I've been playing with getting it to work with visionary.sh but it wont override the original hosts file in /system/etc... this is working for you?
I've added the appropriate lines to my visionary.sh file and it won't overwrite the /system/etc/hosts file either.. any ideas?

I don't know how, that's why I am asking...
I would say no as I think it uses the same exploit as Gingerbreak and it got patched in 2.3.3. So I would say it works on 2.3.2 and down. Even more someone is reporting it not to work on 2.3.5.
But go ahead and try

did you do chmod??
Android is based off linux, and chmod is what's used to set permissions for files you don't own
chmod 755 (or chmod 777) should fix this

You can use a Windows VM inside Ubuntu, with USB capabilities. It needs Oracle's VirtualBox software.

adb shell (in laymen's terms is) linux terminal (command prompt) after you push the file, cd to /data/local, them run "chmod 755 zergRush" it'll work.

So in other words, if I was running Linux, I could root my phone?
No, Android is linux based, what hes saying is in adb you use linux commands, in this case changing the permissions on the file to run it in the first place, but from what Ive read even if it does run its not working for us ATM
Thanks for the clarification. So are they fixing/updating it to work with our phones?
I recently restored my data and now I'm seeing that anyway to fix this ?

What action gave you permission denied?
Having Superuser in the app drawer doesn't mean you are rooted. It maintains a database of who is allowed root permissions. The real root is implemented by the su binary in /system/xbin or /system/bin. Maybe that got reset or removed when you restored.
If you are running EG30, EG31, EK02, then re-run Option A in the Auto Root package.
How does one run this auto root package? Or do u mean just re root using a pc again?

Rooted but no permissions
Hi, all,
I have a similar problem. I've got an original Droid rooted with SuperOneClick 2.3.3 (at least when I run SOC, it says I'm rooted). I have installed Wireless Tethering and AdFree and when I try to start either of them, they are denied superuser permissions. I reran SuperOneClick and tried the Allow Non Market Apps button, but shell is denied permissions when I try that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
I had that problem over the weekend trying a experimental kernel but once I flash a different kernel the problem went away. I'm using rogue kernel right now it's pretty sweet too. What kernel are you running?
From the official iPhone killer.
I haven't flashed any rom. I just wanted the ability to use non-market apps.
Kernel is listed as 2.6.32.9-g68eeef5 [email protected] #1
You may have to uninstall and start over. Did you use the Odin method?
From the official iPhone killer.
Thanks for the response. I'm afraid I have done that. I don't know the odin method, so pretty sure I didn't do that. I used superoneclick, following instructions here. (And the thing is, all was well until a few weeks ago; phone was rooted and I was able to tether wirelessly. This is a VZW phone, and I remember reading something about them limiting tethering ability. But I don't know why that would make superuser refuse all permissions.) One thing I notice is that there is reference to gingerbreak exploit in superoneclick description, but I don't see that exploit when I use superoneclick. The file doesn't show up in the exploits folder, either. (I have turned off antivirus for this.) Might that be it?
Fwiw, I found a fix for this: Install SuperOneClick v 1.7 with rageagainstthecage option checked. Did that, then ran the non-market apps box, reinstalled wireless tether, then restarted. Phone is rooted again and wireless tether works!
adb shell su mount : permission denied
to enter into su,
install superuser on your mobile, keep your screen unlock.
adb shell,
then type su
$ wil chenge to #
now do the superuser commands on command prompt

If you have a custom recovery, you can flash supersu.zip then reboot and have root.
I'll find the zip and link you to it.

I am trying to remove the SPG.apk (I believe that's Verizon's tether block application) from a stock rom that is already installed on my phone. I tried using root explorer however it won't let me. I believe there is a way to use adb to do this? If so, what would the command lines be?
use
Code:
adb uninstall <package name>

To delete anything off the /system partition in root explorer, you need to mount the it r/w first. There is a button on the top that should say "Mount R/W". You need to press that before deleting anything.
Root Explorer will let you remove anything you want.
Provided you click the Mount R/W button in the top right first.....

I wasn't sure if root explorer would function as a normal file manager without root. Especially considering he said he is running s stock rom.

Nope. It won't run without root. The developer has another file explorer called "Explorer" as opposed to "Root Explorer", and that one runs without root.

It works for me. You'll get an error and pop-up window if the intended directory is mounted as read only, just remount r/w and make sure root explorer has root permissions, and it works fine. I use only root explorer, and can absolutely guarantee it works to do this operation, as I started doing the same thing when titanium was unable to convert to system app on 5.1.1.
A click on thanks is always appreciated.

If you're running encrypted, that's the issue. Otherwise, try cutting and pasting. You said before you copied, copy won't work, you can't have the same file in two different app groups at the same time.

I doubt it's the boot .img, depends which ROM you're using I guess, I think it's a permissions issue with root explorer. As I said, I've never seen that operation fail on my device outside of r/o, it works fine for me on flo and four other devices on 5.1.1 ROMs.

if you don't have something like cf. lumen (although with root it shouldn't have this issue.) you can adb it. adb install -r apknamehere.apk
you just need the apk and adb in the same folder.
Did you clear the proxy in the Access point settings (Settings => Wireless networks => More => Mobile networks => Access point names) ?
Use the adblocker in ROM Toolbox. It adds localhost redirects to your hosts file so it's much more low-level.

Download the app, go to the adblocker, click block, reboot.
sorry if i'm stating the obvious, but when you installed adaway on the nexus or lg, i assume you went in to the app and clicked 'download files and apply ad blocking' or words to that effect, then reboot?
