Adaway hosts file problem, rooted with CF-Auto-Root

Just received my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900T yesterday and it's gorgeous! I used CF-Auto-Root to get root in under 30 seconds as advertised! I installed F-Droid and then Adaway, which is my ad blocker of choice, but it has a problem writing the hosts file. I was wondering if this has something to do with not having access to a particular partition? It's not really a huge ordeal and I know the device is brand new but I thought I would throw this out there just in case anyone else had noticed the issue or has a solution. Thanks in advance.

Make sure Busybox is up to date. If you installed it, rebooted, and it still doesn't work, try enabling USB debugging, and try again. That worked for me in the past when I had issues with it not working right.

To update my own results. I couldn't get it to work normally. I had to change the host destination in settings to /data/data/hosts, and then let the app create a symlink. Now it works great.

Trekstor Surftab Xiron 10.1

Hello everybody,
I just bought this tablet and I was looking for a way to root it.
Anybody knows if there's a known way? Would the root method for Xiron 7 work?
Antutu says "Have root access = yes" so I've tried to simply install super su but it won't work and Root cheker says that the device isn't rooted :/

ok, I did it
I used Uberizer with the choice c - 16/17/18 (in that order, I was just shooting blanks and I succeed XD)

Now I have an another big problem...
This tablet have a really good 12gb of internal storage but it is definitely useless...
I can't use it to install apps and nor I can't use SD to install app! No way to move apps into one of the two mount point.
The problem is that internal is "emulated"
I've already tried app as Folder Mount, Mount2SD and Root External 2 Internal but with no success.
Someone know a way to enable my tablet to install apps to NAND Flash (preferred) or at least onto SD Card?
or even how to redistribute the NAND to the Internal Storage (all of it)? Like I did with my Cubot One.
Thanks!!

Same problem here. impossible to install any app on sd card using this tablet. Please help.

Nevermind didnt see 2# post. sorry

[Q] Unable to upgrade software to v20H

I have LG G3 32gb D855, my current Android version is 4.4.2 and when I check for updates via the LG PC Suite it says I can upgrade my software to 20H.
I proceed with the upgrade but when it says "Analyzing Upgrade Environment" it skips to the end and gives me an error:

Exactly the same problem here I'm afraid and no clue how to fix.
I've got the 32GB model and currently running 5.0.....
Any help greatly appreciated.
EDIT - sometime I get this message instead - I've only used 6GB internal memory and none of my SD card.....

Hi , go here : http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ and enter your imei number and download the latest firmware for your phone.
then, follow this tutorial :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 how to flash a KDZ using LGFlashTool2014. Good luck!!!

Thanks twisted_twice, I'll give it a go and report back!
EDIT - after several crashes of the update tool - it worked! I seem to have gone from the European software version (V20a-EUR-XX) to the Taiwan version (V20h-TWN-XX) but I don't suppose that's an issue.
Now, if only I could get the handset to show 4G (only get GSM/WCDMA auto) options.....

Maybe if you try other recovery? http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-e975.img
Or try unofficial CM: http://dl.kevinjoa.me/cm/geehrc/
Hope it helps, and if it does, please click thanks

Thanks for the reply .... i have tried it with all recoveries... twrp gives error this package is for device : e975 , this device is geeb. Cwm and philz wont let me install it too... i wonder why twrp takes device as geeb.. fancy stuff eh.. and i installed recovery from twrp installer too just to make sure i have the correct recovery.. i tried editing the names in rom to geeb , passed through device mismatch error , but still it wont install..

KingRoot >>> Stage 3 - Root User Account: Failed (Alcatel OneTouch Elevate)

I tried to achieve full root with KingRoot 5.3.7 Android app, but something strange is going on after I achieved a sort of Bizarro root
KingRoot says the phone is rooted...

...but Root Checker Pro Free says root isn't quite right.
and here's why:
Root Authorization & Auto Authorization is enabled
Phone is optimized
Two apps have root authorization, supposedly
Stage 2-Superuser Binary Files: Installed
Log First Half
Log Second Half
Also, su binary is already occupied, so SuperSU cannot update the su binary. What do you suggest I do to root the user account and be successful at stage 3? This phone doesn't support fastboot as far as I can tell from adb commands not activating it. I can't install a custom recovery on this phone, believe me, I've tried. Any ideas? Any input would be greatly appreciated no matter who it comes from.
Usually, you get a big ass orangish-reddish X when the root is NOT installed correctly. As you saw in the pic from my phone the device icon is just grayed out instead. The example below of normal unsuccessful root message:
ONLY AN EXAMPLE (NOT THE PHONE I EH, ALMOST FULL ROOTED, I GUESS)
When I reboot the Alcatel OneTouch Elevate, KingRoot states that the phone is unrooted.
Thanks in advance guys and gals
