Hey,
since 14.3.A.0.757 I can't get AdAway to work. It hangs everytime on "activating...".
Does someone have this problem too?
Or does someone know how to fix it?

it does on mine.are you properly rooted?
rooted and unlocked bootloader.
I copied the hosts file manually now but it's really annoying.
I have this same issue. Rooted 757 NO unbranded version and CWM from the lord of doom!!!
I stop using adaway once I found THIS. I flash the ZIP in CWM and no need adaway, however you could also replace the host file and use adaway/ adblock if you prefer.
Working for me on rooted 757 NO??
Is superSu working correctly and granting permissions?

Same issue
Moved to Adblock Plus
i had the same issue. i wasnt even able to connect to wifi because i didnt have any read and write permission on my partition. however, after i flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51820189&postcount=237 it worked fine.
The same in .681 - AdAway doesn't work, even after installing that R/W-fix.
Any ideas?
Installing the fix didn't work for me either, 757 NO. I think that it only is for 4.3 as it says...
Edit: Now it works, took about 5mins to install.

Hi all, what version of super user is everyone using.
I'm having an issue with root explorer and titanium back, when I remove a file with root explorer And it's asks for root the phone reboots.
When titanium back removes an app it reboots.
Seems to me that I'm having super user app issue's.
I'm using the latest version of super su in my Rom.
Thanks

I'm using superuser 3.1.3 (46).
But your problem soubds as if root doesnt work right. Try to re-root your phone using Bin4rys method, works good for me!

Thanks for the reply, all other root features seem to work.
Maybe I'll try superuser instead of supersu.

So I managed to root my phone and disable knox through supersu. After that I froze it using titanium backup but I was wondering if it is safe to fully uninstall it ?

Hi
Can you tell us how you gained root access? My device was rooted in 4.1.2 version and after installing 4.3, I started getting error "Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked. Tap to learn more." If I use SuperU (which was installed during 4.1.2), it asks me to manually re-root.
I tried going through steps mentioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991 but didnt work.
Can you give link to the software and mention the steps to remove Knox or regain root access?
Help would be appreciated.

Yeah he's right. I used this method too. Just remember to update supersu after doing it.

I used method one from that thread. The CF auto root method. Just remember to update supersu afterwards. It'll ask you if you want to disable knox when you open it up after updating.

Perfect!! it worked for me in less than 13sec!!
At first, device took some time to recognise the network, so I was a bit afraid but after 2-3 mins, i could make calls.
I had to install SuperSU separately, and Just as Florad77 mentioned, it disabled KNOX.
Thanks a lot to both of you...
Hey all,
I believe there is a problem with the root in my brother's phone.
It is rooted, CWM 6 touch, and Cm 11 kitkat.
So the problem is now that any app that requires root does not work! The superuser is installed and it gives me the notification whether to grant the app root access or not. So I allow the app to access the root but it does not function correctly.
For example the GameCIH, I give it root access and try to change a value in any game but it does not work.
Also the MacSpoof.
It used to work perfectly before (Tried to flash cwm6 and I soft bricked it but then fixed it all. Thanks to the help of some users in xda)
So what seems to be the problem and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Sorry I should have posted this in trouble shooting and help section.

I actually did a couple of times but it didn't work. I tried wiping everything and flashing other cwm and rom but still same results.
Thanks for replying.
try re-flash using ODIN
Try supersu 1.93. It has option to root/unroot and is the leading root app
install from playstore or get flashable ZIP here.

reflash your root, problem solved.. the problem is only the root access.. try to update app and binary. want simple, reflash root, or even reflash root. greets
I root for two reasons: Tethering and ad blocking. I currently can't tether on my AT&T M8. Now I can't get ad blocking working. I have tried adaway and it can't apply the hosts file.
This is the same issue as with the M7. The system is writable, so it can't modify the hosts file. I tried flashing the hosts zip file manually, but that isn't working either. Anyone know of a workaround? If I can't block ads, this thing is going back. I'm starting to wonder why I even bothered unlocking my bootloader.
Update: neither Adaway or Adfree work. They randomly stop blocking ads and cause the phone to restart when you try to apply the hosts file. Adblock Plus does seem to be working well, however. I'd still prefer a hosts file method of blocking, but this seems to be the only solution without s-off.
If your rooted what about xposed framework, there is a really good ad blocking module you can download that works better than ad away etc not sure if you have to be s-off or not I was using it on my One M7, waiting to get the M8

I'm having same problem with adaway so I'm using adblock pro seems to be working ok search for it on xda
Neither will work right now because the system is protected. Kernel module is being worked on which will disable write protect, and then adblockers will work.

I think this might be the answer
As an update: I was having issues with Adblock Plus as well (it stopped working a few times and had to be force closed after completely blocking my internet connection). I finally went here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327934
And flashed the Adaway hosts through TWRP. It flashed successfully and now all is well. Tested and working all ads are blocked. Does anyone know where I could find a more updated flashable hosts file? That one was from June of last year.
Thanks.

Thanks! That looks a tad risky at this point. I will wait until it's a little more tested. I managed to flash the hosts file manually, so I'm good for now.

That one doesn't work. It was the first one I tried to flash. It fails to flash in TWRP, at least the version installed on my M8.
I am using xposed module xad and it works great. The one in the xposed app wouldnt install for some reason so downloaded the apk and installed it that way. No more ads.

Details? First, Xposed is working on the M8? Second, where did you get the manual apk for ad blocking?

Yes xposed works great. As has been posted on a few threads you have to install xposed as a zip from recovery. I googled xad apk and it was one of the first few results that came up.

Take the hosts file and replace the one in the ZIP file that you already have

Adfree seems to work fine at first, but it will cause your phone to reboot when you update it. Unless you have S-off, it will have issues sim linking the host file and writing it.

I was unaware of that. I've always been s-off while using it.
I tried the systemless root method several times.. None of it works.
If my superSU app says I'm rooted, Android pay doesn't work. Only way to get it working again is if I UNROOT using the superSU tool.

Root with the systemless root method, and delete "/su/xbin_bind". Android Pay will work. However, you might break root compatibility with older apps that haven't been updated.

Can confirm this allowed me to add my CC again, have not yet tried paying yet. I have 2.66 beta, and using AdAway, TiBu, and Greenify. So far no issues.
am I deleting the whole SU folder? or just the XBIN_BIND?

yes, mine definitely works.
FYI, greenify breaks it, just having it installed for me (even if disabled)
adaway does not have to though, long as you flash the systemless hosts zip file before installing and applying it
