I downloaded the Beanstalk KitKat ROM today and planned to install it to replace Jellybean. I copied the ROM zip and gapps to the internal storage, unplugged the phone and rebooted into recovery. I wiped the cache and data, but when I went to install the ROM zip it wouldn't work; it returns an error of "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" with a status of 7. Before I rebooted into Android to re-copy the files over, assuming something went wrong in the copy process, CWM prompted me saying that I might have lost root and whether or not it should fix it. I hit yes. Now, I cannot reboot back into Android. The phone hits the HTC loading screen, reboots, and then ends up back at CWM.

Is there any way I can get a ROM zip on my phone so that I can fix this? Or is my phone essentially bricked?

Any help is appreciated.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
If you have adb drivers installed on your computer, you can do this: adb push path/to/ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip make sure you mount data first. See this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37535001

Are you using the newest version of tour recovery? You need the latest cwm or twrp beta to flash kitkat ROMs.
[HTC Droid DNA] Klayderpus:
I'm running CWM 6.0.3.1. I assume this is outdated now as I installed it a while ago. I'll find a download for the latest one and install that too.

Thanks for your help.

Hello XDA,

after more than one year flashing recent ROMs over at „Development“ I'm searching for a real stable one for HBOOT 2.15. I don't like Sense-UI. At the moment I'm running CyanogenMod Stable 10.2, but I get a lot of reboots when using Google Maps. Don't know wether this is an problem with GMaps or GPS in general. I also encountered this problem with previous versions of CyanogenMod and some unofficial forks. Supe-CID, S-Off and various firmware-updates are out of reach as the tutorials on XDA don't work for me and I'm not capable of solving these problems myself.

The ROM doesn't have to be the latest version of Android or even in active development, as long as it might work well on my phone (S4). Just sick of constant reboots ;).

Thanks in advance

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] C-Lang:
Ok, so disclaimer: this isn't the same as Ad Block, some ads will slip through, and there will probably be IE error messages popping up.

However, if you despise adverts and are ready to give feedback, this does block many ads.

So, what we're doing is editing Windows' built-in hosts file to block these addresses at the source.

First, download the hosts file attached here.

Then, browse to "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" and rename "hosts" to "hosts.old"

Then copy and paste the file you downloaded into the folder, making sure there is no file extension (go to View>show/hide file extensions)

Next, open CMD as admin (start>cmd>right click>run as admin)

Type "net stop dnscache" and hit enter.

After a couple minutes that'll finish.

Type "sc config dnscache start= disabled"

Reboot your Surface (or other device)

You're now (mostly) ad-free! Let me know what you think, and what effects this has on page load speed. (negligible to me, but I'm on a high-speed, slow connections would most benefit.) :good:
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
HOSTS-file ad blocking is nothing new, but it is a nice trick. However, there are a few problems with the way you suggested doing this:

1) the HOSTS file on Win8 and WRT is protected by Windows Defender, and attempts to modify the mapping for a number of known domains (some of which, annoyingly, are advertising domains) will fail. You will want to add \Windows\System32\drivers\etc\HOSTS to the Excluded Files in Defender.

2) Neither disabling DNS caching nor restarting are needed. Just run the following command: "ipconfig /flushdns" (no quotes). This will wipe the current DNS cache. Disabling the caching entirely will actually degrade performance, as your browser (for example) will need to do a DNS lookup every single time it wants to open a connection to a server, which could be dozens of times per click. Windows will use the HOSTS file just fine while the DNS cache is active. I'm not even *sure* you need to flush it, but it won't hurt.

By the way, for web browsing, a somewhat "nicer" approach to ad-blocking is to use the built-in IE feature of Tracking Protection Lists. You can "get a Tracking Protection List online" and then add EasyList (who also make the most popular block list for AdBlock Plus/AdBlock Edge). Most people don't realize that IE effectively has a built-in ad blocker, and has for a few releases now... Of course, that won't help with ads outside of the browser.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] C-Lang:
Ah, very interesting. Thanks for the feedback. :)
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] nazoraios:
Good tip...

I used the same method as I do on the desktop, I go to :

http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

Scroll down to folder icon and where it says download, tap and hold or right click and save to local disk.

Then extract and right click or tap and hold the mvps.bat file and run as admin and your done.

It makes a backup of your original hosts file as HOST.MVP.

I have never noticed windows defender 'undoing' this unless it just removes a few entries within it.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] waraukaeru:
In MVPS's specific instructions for Windows 8 they tell you to make an exception in Windows Defender because it will block it.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] nazoraios:
Yes.. interesting. My ad blocking worked fine but i bet they did unblock a series of domains that they deem 'necessary' for windows8.

Thanks for the windows defender tip... i'll have to start using that as well.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] waraukaeru:
Hey, I have a couple questions for all of you awesome ad-blocking folk. I'm using the MVPS hosts file on my Surface 2 and it seems to be blocking some of the ad content for me when I have tracking protection turned off or when tracking protection is ineffective. So, I assume it is set up properly. When you find an unblocked ad, (for instance, my ad blocking efforts seem effective against the images on Facebook but not the text ads) what is your process for determining the domain/host for the ad and blocking it? Do you always go and edit your hosts file, or do you add the domain to you restricted list in Internet Explorer? Or add it to your custom Tracking Protection list?

My other question is: have any of you have determined the common hosts for the banner ads in Windows Store apps? I noticed the MVPS hosts file doesn't seem to be blocking these hosts.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] nazoraios:
Well since your talking about a web page I would say download fiddler (on an x86 box) and run it in the background while you use your web page. It acts as a proxy so all requests go through it. Then once you find the domains you can add them to HOSTS file.

If you x86 box is Windows 8/8.1 it's a little trickier, you need to use fiddler's 'Windows 8 Config' button to add exceptions to the apps your trying to monitor. I think if you are running IE11 (in protected mode only?) you need to add exceptions for win_ie_ac_??? entries. To monitor apps you can try enabling them all or find your app.

If your talking about on device (RT) you might try running netstat -f in the background but that may only work with desktop IE not running in Enhanced Protected Mode.... if its too much data to read you could redirect to a file to skim through later like netstat -f > temp.txt
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] waraukaeru:
Those are some great ideas; I'm going to try them out. They're all fairly labor intensive... I wonder... do you go to those lengths to block ads? It matters that much to me. Looking at how much work that will be though, I am missing the ease of using Adblock Plus and Ghostery plugins in Firefox.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] nazoraios:
I usually go through those measures to determine which domains to 'unblock' so that I can get a site working with my ad blocking.

I forgot the most obvious method for web stuff, hit F12 in IE, go to network tab, start capturing traffic, load page you want to minitor, and examine results.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Jon4248:
Why not just enable some tracking protection lists under Internet Explorer add-ons? It seems to block most, if not all ads for me, even on torrent sites and to me, this seems much easier than a host file.

I enabled the following lists: EasyList Standard, EasyPrivacy.

http://www.iegallery.com/en-us/trackingprotectionlists

:)
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
TPLs only block ads in IE, HOSTS files can block them in everything across the whole system.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Jon4248:
ohhhh okay I get it.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] TRSHD:
Anyone else finding themselves unable to have the ads blocked through hostfile blacklisting? Running 8.1, followed the instructions, all ads keep appearing in Metro apps...
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] TRSHD:
Really? NOBODY!?!??!
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] kitor:
On 8.1 Windows Defender does not allow changes in this file - you must remove it from protected files or disable defender (well, IMO it's nonsense on ARM).
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] TRSHD:
Could you expand on how to remote it from the protected files?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] kitor:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2764944
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] TRSHD:
Excellent, I've done that already... Dumb question: is the host filename case sensitive? Mine's named HOSTS...
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
No, Win32 is case-insensitive. It's traditional on Windows to use upper-case, but it doesn't matter.

NTFS is actually capable of behaving in a case-sensitive manner, but Win32 is explicitly case-insensitive. This leads to weirdness if you don't use the Win32 subsystem and create a file whose name differs from another only by case, then try to open them using a Win32 program like Notepad...
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] TRSHD:
Thanks for the info! Now on with trying to figure out why the ip's still aren't blocked in modern apps...
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Amer28:
Thank you! Trying this now.

One question.

How did you compile the HOSTS file? Did you make your own, or did you use the one from mvps.org?

I've been using this method to block ads for years now, in every single Windows PC I own(ed), I have a modified HOSTS file.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leomd333:
you MUST be wiping the internal storage aswell when "updating", there is no way the ROM.zip will wipe from your storage unless you accidentally wipe it. Just stick it in the root directory of your storage and when wiping...if you are using TWRP, do not select the option to wipe data as it will wipe your internal storage aswell. To wipe data before the flash, go into wipe, advanced and then tick every partition apart from "internal storage"
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cggorman:
"Internal Storage" is equivalent to "SD Card". No access to root or system partitions from Windows Explorer. Just me, but I always copy ROMs and other flashable zips to the "download" folder.

I'm agreeing with MalignantQuechnitlan. I haven't used ROM Manager or Clockwork Recovery in at least a year, but it seems you must be electing to wipe your SDCard partition at some point during the installation.
