[Q] AdFree error on CM 6.1 RC2

I've just installed a fresh new copy of RC2 with all the wipes.
1. When running AdFree i get the "Update Found" message.
2. when trying to "Download & Install Hosts" i get the the error:
"Error: Failed to replace your hosts file. Error message:"
3. When trying to "Revert" first i get "Failed to revert your hosts file, the 'echo' command seems to be missing"
Any ideas?
Thanks,
G

I had the same issue running CM. S-OFF seemed to resolve it, just flashed and tested it now.

Your question should be in the thread you linked to. You got the Android zImage from there, so that's where your question should be.

howto setup Desire USB Host Mode

Hey guys,
I am trying to get USB Host Mode working on a "HTC Desire A8183" (Telstra branded from Australia). This will be used as a mobile data logger connected to an Arduino. This works out of the box on Galaxy S3 (without powered usb hub too!) but I think it requires an older patched kernel on the HTC Desire.
Spent a few hours on this yesterday, couldn't get it working while trying to compile my own kernel. Got it working using a precompiled kernel from Tim (See below)
-----------------------------------------------
Update:
(new user, cant post links sorry, copy & paste )
Follow the "Gaining S-OFF" instructions from here: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_bravo
Download the Cyanogenmod ZIP file: get.cm/get/jenkins/3075/cm-7.2.0.1-bravo.zip (or another version from get.cm/?device=bravo
Download the USB Host Mode enabled kernel from here: tim.mactory.com/HTC_Desire/2.6.37_host_mod.zip ( more details about kernel here: tim.mactory.com/htc-desire/
Download Google Apps ZIP file from here: goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip ( or another version from goo.im/gapps
Format the SD card (fat32) from your Desire (mine was a 2GB one) and copy the 3 zip files to the SD card.
(full instructions here wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_bravo
Hold volume down + power, select recovery, wait a few moments, run both "wipe" options
then choose the "install zip" option and "select zip" option and install all 3 zip files: *cm-7.2.0.1-bravo.zip *then *2.6.37_host_mod.zip then *gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
press back and choose the restart option
the phone will now boot into the new "cyanogenmod" with usb host mode support
Follow the instructions from here: tim.mactory.com/htc-desire/</a>
Connect the USB device, then over a shell/terminal enter these commands:
insmod /system/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/core/usbcore.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko
Install one of these apps through Google Play store to check any problems and see if it's working: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.usbhostdiagnostics&hl=en

Can not get it to update kernel
I have the latest nightly Cyanogenmod 7. My kernel now: [email protected] #1 (cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-bravo.zip)

try disabling signature verification in your recovery

Thanks!!! It worked! I thought that setting could only help with signature related problems, but apparently it just skips any checking at all. Now Im off to a few reboots and repairing my installations with Link2sd, have to keep my Desire alive some more months

The method needs to be better documented or something ...
Stuck on next problem:
When I navigate to the module folder (the uname -r gives longer result than actual foldernames) and as root issue command: insmod usbcore.ko
the result is: insmod: init_module 'usbcore.ko' failed (Exec format error)

[Q] Lost access to internal storage

Hello,
In the process of rooting and trying to install CWM Recovery in preparation to flash Cyanogenmod, I seem to have denied myself access to the phone's internal storage. In the "File Manager" app, I get the following screen:
Local: /storage
No files
No search results
In addition, any app that requires access to internal memory will not work, instead showing messages such as "Try again after scanning media files" or "Not enough storage". If I plug in the USB cable and set it to "Media sync (MTP)" mode, Windows Explorer will show the device but list the internal storage as having "0 bytes" and no files.
I already tried the following:
- Factory reset
- Flashing the official ROM through the Windows Enabler / UpTestEX tools
In both tries the phone was "reset", as in it returned to the initial Android welcome screen where you set up your Google account, but in each case I still didn't have access to internal storage.
This is what I have in the "About phone -> Software information" option:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: APQ8064T/MDM9x15M
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: JZO54K
Software version: E98810b
The phone does not have Wi-Fi access either, which is why I was tinkering around with custom ROMs in the first place, so I won't be able to download anything to it as part of the solution.
Is there anything else I can try?

I'm guessing you used FreeGee to install CWM? Perhaps try restoring?
If that didn't work... Id move the EFS backups to my computer. I'd make a NAND backup in CWM. Then I'd get CM and gapps on a micro SD. I'd do a format of system, data, and cache. Then I'd install CM and gapps. Then I'd cross my fingers.

ackliph,
Since I didn't have Wi-Fi access on the phone, and at the time I didn't know how to reverse tether it to the computer, I was looking for a procedure to install CWM Recovery that didn't involve downloading files directly within the phone (only transfering via USB). Right now I can't find the exact instructions I used, but it was similar to what is described by hkfriends in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2361941, the only difference being that the image I downloaded was not that one.
I rooted the phone with Universal Root, then followed those instructions to install CWM Recovery. It seemed to have worked, but when I rebooted... nothing happened! The phone booted normally, and if I tried entering recovery mode all I got was the stock LG recovery.
I continued looking for another way to install a custom recovery, but instead came upon instructions to flash KDZ files with UpTestEx. Since the immediate problem I was trying to solve was the lack of Wi-Fi access (and not really the custom ROM), I thought it couldn't hurt to try updating the stock ROM. The procedure did update my ROM, but I ended up in my current predicament: no access to internal storage, and still no Wi-Fi access! It even managed to unroot the phone.
So your suggestion would be to try installing CM via a microSD card. OK, I can get a microSD and try that. However, I do believe I will need root access to do anything of the sort. I tried Universal Root again, and got the following messages:

Press Enter after making the change.

You are now properly Rooted.

Evidently, that didn't work.
I guess I will need some other method of rooting it.

i can't figure out how i bricked my phone lg f460s,

i've deleted some photos from my camera album ,i regreted and i want my photos back.
so i try to take a data recover on my lg g3 cat6 (f460s)
most of the data recover tools requires the storage of my phone mounted as a massive storage device instead of MTP
i google it and found the SDCARD mount tool
i rooted my phone and installed the busybox which the sdcard mount tool required.
i suceeded on mounting my phone as a massive storage device but it's a ext4 partition and can't open on windows
so i try to open it in a Ubuntu System running in VMware.
the unbutu system detected my phone sdcard but can't open tht partition either while my phone suddenly reboot and never get into the system.
i comes to a black screen after the lg logo
stiil the adb works and i managed to dump the logcat

plus i don't want to regenerate my phone as some important data in it
