Actual (2010-06-27) hosts file

Because AdFree is not working on Desire:
I've made hosts file which is compilation of two lists and some manual additions (for correct blocking of admob). So I decided to share with my list. Use it if You want to. Please tell me if this forum is wrong for that list.

Sorry for the n00b question but how do you install this?

Nice one mate. You've just reminded me I needed to redo my hosts file after installing Modaco Froyo, and I might as well use yours as it'll be more up to date than mine.

ditto this, instructions for us noobies?

unzip the host file
than enter recovery
adb-windows shell mount /system
adb-windows shell mv /system/etc/hosts /sdcard/backuphost
adb push c:\hosts /system/etc
that should wrok if you unziped hosts.zip to c:\ and if something goes wrong you have your original hosts file backed up in /sdcard/backuphost
hope this helps
p.s. i didn't try this

did everything, and adfree is still not working in froyo...
Thanks anyway!
Edit: Now, Adfree FCs!
Edit 2: I did it again and it worked!

Could someone please create a zip file, that can be falshed through clockworkmod recovery? This would be fantastic.

Try this, mate. [Click!]

Thanks dnlgee I put it in my repo on ROM Manager

This is great, thanks for sharing - it seems to work great. I might go back to a stock hosts though - I like to block ads when browsing, but I feel bad about doing it for ad-supported applications. That's just me though

Yes, trying to do thinks more easy for all people

Thank you. I have been looking for this for a long time

Great work, it worked a charm until I changed to a new rom, went to use it again and it was gone from the downloads in Rom Manager.
Big thanks.
Panic over, It was saved as a download on my SD card, Rom Manager flashed it again from the saved location no problem.
Love it.

danbst said:
Your stuff is gone from Rom Manager it seems mate.
Would I be right in assuming I can put this on my card renamed as update.zip (if I need to?)
Use rom manager to boot into recovery and flash it manually?
Great work BTW, it worked a charm until I changed to a new rom, went to use it again and as I say it was gone.
Big thanks.

You don't need to rename the zip file if you're using ROM Manager, but yes you should be able to install this through the manager.
If you can't download it through the ROM Manager report, my link is always online and will be updated when possible.

Just a confused question;
If we have a rooted device, what's the reason for having to use the recovery menu? Can you not simply overwrite the file?
Thanks

Yea you can, provided you reboot into recovery and mount the system, then pull or push the device back into the system.
Either way you need to boot into recovery as there's no root method that fully allows read/write access for the Desire at the moment.

It should work like this. Unfortunatelly you can't mount system partition as read/write. That is because system is blocking this in some way.

Another quick one:
I used the zip file which people are using in the rom manager. I rebooted into clockwork and selected apply update from zip and selected the file. Appears I broke the system though lol .
Is this not the right way of doing it?
Also how do you type commands in the recovery? :S

[Q] Flash 10.1.106.16 Library Mod?

Has anyone found the Modded Adobe Flash Library file for the newest Market Version (10.1.106.16) yet?

I heard it was floating around unrevoked's IRC channel, but I have yet to see it pop up.
Patiently waiting in the mean time.

Here you go. All packaged up with Hulu. Make sure you update Adobe in the market first.

You don't need a modified flash file. The zip file attached above contains everything you need. Pay attention to the last sentence in the post. You NEED to download the latest version of Flash Player from the marketplace. After you do that install the file you downloaded above from recovery.

Doesn't work. I updated Adobe in the market, then downloaded this .zip and installed it via recovery and now I get "Hulu is not supported on your platform".

Check your path for the libflashplayer.so file.
Is it data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib?
You could always try ripping the .so file out of the zip and just pushing it with root explorer or adb.

I tried doesn't work for me either... I tried doing it both ways.

Root explorer method I mentioned above worked for me. I'll try and see if I can get the update script working.

I tried the root explorer way it didn't work for me still get the error.
Ok it works it just doesn't survive a reboot.

Working for me even after a reboot. Wonder if it's ROM related? Are you running an AOSP? Anyway, I'll tinker with it a bit more and see if I have any luck.

Yep I'm on aosp 2.3.2. Either way thanks I can deal with doing it manually.

Need the one from the stock ROM. I have no clue what I'm doing at this point, so extracting it myself isn't an option. Anyone have it, or can point me in the right direction? I want to put it on OMGB.

Well, you would just take it from RMK ROM, and try using root explorer and copying it to ur system.app folder, then click it and push install and see it it takes..or I can make a .zip for you which I will..
Flash in recovery..

[Q] What da heck am i doing wrong(sighned zip)NEED DEV HELP (free thanks)

thanks but force md5 is not checked, unless you are talking about doing this in code?
And in the log it says
verify md5 for /sdcard...........
No md5 file found, ignoring.
If it is an md5 problem then where and what do i put the md5 file.

josepho1997 said:
Well you could try rebooting your device. If that doesn't work, boot your device into recovery mode(5001). If that doesn't work boot back into normal(4000). Make sure TWRP is updated.(or CWM). Or you could try to flash it manually with your computer.

well i think i didnt make the update script right or something. I need someone to check out the zip.

josepho1997 said:
I would test it out but i don't have my Kindle Fire. The USB Port was loose and I'm waiting on my new one. They shouldn't find out I rooted because I unrooted, deleted any app that hinted towards me rooting it, and my battery is completely dead and it can't charge, so I think I'm safe
Click to expand...

Well its not really a matter of testing it because I'm pretty sure it won't work on any fire because I think I formatted the zip the wrong way. All I need is someone who has made a flash able zip to check the zip out and see what I did wrong. This is my first flash able zip I've ever made. It is a very simple one too.

You are correct that the zip file was formatted wrong. I redid the META-INF you was missing update-binary file and your updater-script was incorrect.
I attached it again with the fixes.

Thank you so much.I ran out or thanks. I will be sure to thank you tomorrow.Do you ever have to change the binary? Like if I make a different flashable zip can i just keep the update-binary the same? And can you reccomend something for linux to sighn zips. I had to use windows to sighn the one I attached?
Edit: when I flashed a zip it deleted all app data or something? Do you know why?

[Q] Can't root after updating to Jellybean

I've been working all day to try and root my AT&T SGH-I747, but I keep running into roadblocks with Odin. It gets stuck at <ID:0/004>aboot.mbn, and I can't get any further. Am I doing something wrong?

Just redownloaded it from a different mirror, still having the same problem.

Im really running out of ideas for you... i have ran into same kinda problems but easy got around it.
You do have odin 307+ and updated S3 drivers?
If you have another data, could try that.
You could try different usb port.
I always reboot computer befor i flash.
i really hope that helps you

Just follow the root guide for our phones in the stickies.... Why a Roger rom?

I would suggest to try the method in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Also, make sure you are using the usb cable that came with the phone, as it has an 11 pin connector instead of the 5 pin. Hope this helps.
