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.

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

Hey Guys,
I have been able to get CyanogenMod File Explorer working on stock but it will not allow for root access... I've put the file in system/app and set permissions RW-R--R-- and still no luck. Anyone succeed with this?

This may not be the answer you're looking for, but why do you need to get the CM File Explorer working? There are many excellent alternatives.

Ok, well good look in getting it to work, but do consider that a file explorer is just a tool and not one that you want to spend a lot of time in, anyway. For me, moving files around on my Android through the Windows file explorer or ADB is what I focus on. At most, I will use the ES File Explorer to launch a file or delete it.
Pretty sure you can download it on fdroid.
Yup here it is.

Figured out why it does not work on most devices... Mist devices who have busybox installed do not have all the symlinks and applets needed to run the file manager.
I'm currently running rbox's updated 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 ROM. I can still grant superuser access to apps that request it, and apps that require su function properly, but I can't open the SuperSu app itself, it just crashes. When I try to open it from the KFTV launcher, the screen blinks and it returns to the applications menu. If I try to open SuperSu from XBMC, it causes XBMC to crash as well.

I think it has to do with the way I'm installing it. In theory if you were to delete the SuperSu.apk from /system/app and sideload the apk yourself, it might work better. And if you horribly break things, you can always just reinstall the prerooted rom to get it back.

I deleted it and sideloaded it back. Same behavior. Just want to get into its settings. I used the latest PlayStore version APK.
Yeah, same here. I ended up installing Clockworkmod's Superuser and uninstalling SuperSU. All I needed was the ability to disable notifications on a per app basis.

Direct download from CWM website
You'll have to re-approve superuser requests since it's a different app. I believe this is the same superuser app that comes with Cyanogenmod

From what I read the supersu is always the best one to choose. Certainly with phones.
I just dont know why we cant launch the app as normal to adjust settings.

I don't know about "always the best". It's all the same crap really. CM ships with Superuser and it seems to work fine for everyone using that.

I also had the same issues. However, I was able to fix it by deleting "/system/app/SuperSu.apk" and then side-loading an older version of SuperSu (2.01). So, it looks as if the issue may be with compatibility with more recent versions.

If so.. Is there a correct order to get rid of the SuperSU & Sideload the new one ??
OK, so, I messed up a bit.
My phone works nearly perfectly. In fact, I would say perfectly aside from being able to download OTA updates.
A while back I used Stump root to root my LS990.
Everything worked and it was rooted.
I modified my build.prop to make it seem as if it were a samsung phone in order to use the Milk music app.
Once I had finished fooling around, I used SuperSU to unroot, only to remember a day later that i forgot to restore my build.prop.
I cannot re-root due to the version incompatibility I created by modifying build.prop.
Is there any way to gain temporary root access so I can restore the original build.prop?
Thanks for your help

Thank you for the suggestions.
UPDATE: Thanks to @squid2's insight, there's a better method that should work for everyone. Just download the attached script, remove the .txt extension, and drop into your su.d folder with proper permissions. For more information, see here and here.
------------------------------
This is all thanks to @nkk71, btw. Right now the fix is very hacky but I'm sure ROM devs will find a more appropriate fix soon.
I'm not sure if I want to reveal the fix publicly in case HTC's spies are monitoring the thread, lol....probably better safe than sorry. But go visit nkk71's profile and buy him many beers for figuring this out. And also find some posts by him and click "Thanks."
WARNING: Dragons ahead! Anything you flash to your device is done at your own risk!
EDIT: Alright, I'll publish a flashable zip here based on the 1.53.617.5 US Unlocked Edition. I've been testing the mod/hack for a few days now and have seen no ill effects. It should work fine on ROMs using that base.
I have NO IDEA if it'll work on ROMs using an International/Europe base or on CDMA. If you really want to try it, make sure you make a backup first! You will need to "Format Data" in TWRP and flash the standard SuperSU zip to remove forced encryption (or do it manually, if you know how).
Let the bricking begin!
P.S. Thanks of course also go to @Chainfire for SuperSU and su.d!

It is not a secret, I have a certainly made it public (or so I thought) enough.
Unfortunately the controversy, I'm not willing to deal with... An innocent "share", turned ugly
I fully endorse this method, though I only had 7 mins of testing, before things got very ugly, a very very very very very very very very very very unfortunate incident.
So be it.
The method is still sound, and anybody who wishes to use it, I have neither any objections, just please test it.

Looking at the logic in the HTC RIL library, in Pythonic pseudocode, it goes something like this:
Code:
if property_get("ro.crypto.state") != "encrypted":
if property_get("persist.radio.current.cnv", default="-1") == "-1":
if htcril_db_property_get("current.cnv") != "-1":
htcril_db_property_set("current.cnv", "-1")
Other libraries then query the htcril DB via the library, and behave differently if the current.cnv property is set in the DB. Based off this, I would guess that doing the following would have a similar effect without needing to hack the library:
Code:
setprop persist.radio.current.cnv 0
I haven't tried this, but I'm curious if restoring the stock libhtcril_db.so and setting this property would work.

Permissions for su.d scripts are 0700. If you want to put the script there while in recovery and you're using systemless root, you can use @osm0sis SUmount zip to mount the su.img and then the TWRP File Manager to copy the script over and change perms. Flash the SUmount zip again to unmount su.img, and then reboot.

Don't use the zip. That's the old hack. Use the script. You have to manually place it.
