Since AdAway always did a great job for me, I made a script that grabs all the same sources and builds a single hosts file to push to the phone. You'll need Linux or another UNIX to run it though.

[MENTION=1558579]beavis9k[/MENTION]: I followed your tutorial and I was able to push the hosts file to my phone but ads still do not get blocked.

Should there be some kind of a response after applying the "adb shell chmod 644 /system/etc/hosts" command?

If I open the hosts file the only entry is "127.0.0.1 localhost::1 localhost". I guess that isn't correct and the script is not able to grab the sources when I run it.

UPDATE: Solved it. There was a problem with cygwin running the script.
[Nexus 5X General] beavis9k:
Ahhh... thanks for letting me know. I never did try it under cygwin. I figured it would just work. If the generated hosts file only has localhost in it, I would guess that wget isn't installed with cygwin.
[Nexus 5X General] Norlam:
Yeah that was the problem. I forgot the check the "wget" package during the installation of cygwin :p

After installing the package the hosts file was working as it should :good:

Does this break android pay?

Its probably a dumb question, I should probably know the answer since I've used this method before to have ad blocking and not root, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried.
[Nexus 5X General] berndblb:
Second paragraph from the bottom of the op says it changes system. That would mean it breaks AP
[Nexus 5X General] rockambole:
I followed the steps to run the script and apply the hosts file, but something weird is happening.

After applying the new hosts and booting the device, if I list the hosts files again it shows the default one. If I boot recovery again and list the file, it's the new one!

Is there something else I should do? I tried wiping cache but it didn't work.
[Nexus 5X General] beavis9k:
That is really odd. Definitely not something I'd expect to happen. I'll see if I can figure it out. Which ROM and version are you running?

EDIT: Also let me know which recovery version.

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 AM ----------

I've been able to use Android Pay after modifying the hosts file like this, but the last time I tried probably about a month ago. I always wonder if the latest stock ROM or AP update with finally break it but so far, so good.
[Nexus 5X General] rockambole:
Sorry, I think I should have mentioned it. I'm using the last Android N Beta (Developer Preview 3 if I'm not mistaken) and I'm using the stock recovery but I tried booting the last TWRP (3.0.2) when following your steps.
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Install Adguard?

No rooting, no flashing, no fuzzing around , just download and install the APK and you are good to go. :p
[Nexus 5X General] beavis9k:
Sorry, I didn't get time until now to come back to this. I won't be able to help since I don't have N installed and I won't install it until it's out of beta - my 5X is my main phone and has to work 24/7. When I update (or if I get enough time to futz around with N and restore if something breaks), I'll figure out what's going on. My guess is N has changed something significant with the filesystem and TWRP doesn't know what to do about it.
[Nexus 5X General] rockambole:
No problem.

Thanks :good:

iPhone Lookie Likee

For whatever my opinion is worth to those thinking about trying this, it is a launcher, little more...but it doesn't actaully pretend to be anything more.

It looks a lot like the iPhone interface - someone has done a VERY good job in that respect - but there isn't any kind of TouchFlo or iPhone functionality underpinning it and the apps it launches are still the native WM5/6 versions, unless you change out those too.

The big advantage as someone here pointed out is that it can be used by those of us with sausage fingers.

If you want the iPhone look and feel you won't be disappointed, but just don't expect it to behave like an iPhone, that's not the deal...yet??
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] RAMBO29:
WHY?

AS HE POINTED OUT ,THE Touch Flo wasn't meant for artemis.Its for Elf.I was basically asking for a theme,so the phone can be used with fingers and the stylus needn't be used.

Whats the problem?

I use original adhesive tape to connect the screen and backside. But everytime I fix a phone it does not stick good enough. I use clamps for 12 hours to get good pressure and also use a heatgun to heat it up before I put the clamps on. Still I have many customers complaining about the sceeen or backside coming off. So I end up using glue. Any suggestions on how to get the adhesive tape to stick good?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hafidel36:
From what I've heard, the aftermarket China LCD's are a bit thicker than the original LCD. Many people solved this by using double stickers to make sure the edges are securely touching the tape. You might try that! And of course degreasing-degreasing and more degreasing! Cleaning is very very very important and underrated by many people.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] me myself and i:
I bought a friend of mine a LG G2 and within a couple weeks she managed to have it take a drink. The horror on my face was, well, horrifying when i was told. Anyways about the phone.........

She knew to immediately put the phone in rice which she did.a few days later i get the phone into my hands, moment of truth right? First thing i did was to take it apart and see if there's any corrosion on the board or any leftover residue which i found none. reassembled the device and plugged it in for........well i dont know why, i just did. I read online if the phone shuts off immediately after contact with water your chances are good. Anyways the phone showed signs of life. It began booting up past the LG logo to the boot animation of "Desolation ROM" where it freezes and than loops freezing at different times of the boot logo.

Download mode works so i decided to flash the KDZ 20C. The phone boots up entirely into the OS and works with few *issues. Two things i have problems with, the internal storage doesnt appear** on the computer regularly, and i must "adb reboot recovery" a few times before it successfully will boot into recovery. but i can manage with that. I rooted it through sideload, installed autoRec and got TWRP flashed and working. I did flash the new TWRP so that it mounts the storage to computer. anyways so i went to flash the rom, Desolation, Resurrection Remix, and Bliss pop with the same issues. ive dont everything multiple times already to no avail.

Ideas? anyone?

*issues: it thinks the headphone are plugged it and rapidly cycles the animation.

** it varies from one flash of the KDZ to the other :confused::confused: i can "adb Push file /sdcard/"

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] me myself and i:
what i dont get it why can i still get the OS working if i flash the KDZ??? or is this the type of weirdness that comes with a water damaged device?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
From my experience over the years water damage is a 50/50 shot.

On one hand you get a 100% recovered device with minor repair...i.e replace battery and or LCD and you're good to go.

On another hand you have weird malfunctions i.e headphone jack saying its plugged in when its not....dead wifi, dead vibrate, no data connection...the list can go on and on...

When this happens, unless you're skilled to replace the ICs on the logic board with some skillful soldering, I'd pass and either sell or use the phone for parts.

Start fresh with another used G2....maybe one with a broken screen you can get cheap and swap parts over to your phone.

Oh yeah...have your friend buy herself an S6 Active...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
Have seen a few logic boards in ebay sell cheap the last 2 weeks. You may get lucky and replace the board with a newer/better condition one and fix your problem entirely.

I'd recommend buying a new battery too
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] me myself and i:
ive been noticing that the battery was giving issues or seems to be inadequate to say the least
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
How does the screen look?

I'd inspect the LCD and light box underneath to be safe as well.

If both look like new you're safe there.

Basically:

New logic board

New battery

New screen (if necessary )and youre good to go :)

Hi there,

After a step 4 on the Multi Tool 4.1, it updated to 5 OTA and failed to reboot. Since then its a black screen and green light of death, can't even access recovery menu or fastboot, have tried all the steps from Moto chat service such as the 2mns pwr+vol down and have to send the phone for repair!!! I have been flashing smartphones for quiet some years now and never had to go there ever.... Always been able to recover from brick.

Anyway now, I have no idea what the repair service will do about this, so if anyone has a clue of what I can do please go ahead.

I'm having second thoughts about the new Motorola devices now.

Okay lots of issues hopefully one easy fix,

I have had a HOM2 given to me to fix for my friend so just want it back to stock , it has no radios it mentions invalid_ver_* , same for another option, the bootloader is LOCKED here is my getvar info

all: Done!

, its bootlooping into bootloader, so my first thought was unlock bootloader flash recovery and side load a rom, play with radios and such after, but trying to unlock the bootloader doesn't work I've tried HTC dev twice to check the unlock code but it pushes it to the device and claims it was successful I get this;

**UNLOCK CODE***

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.109s]

writing 'unlocktoken'...

(bootloader) unlock token check successfully

OKAY [ 0.016s]

finished. total time: 0.125ss

tried different USB cables and ports but every time I try I don't get the unlock splash screen asking me to unlock, so I went through the forums and tried a few things found that clearing cache or and data gives me

**CLEAR CACHE***

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot erase cache

******** Did you mean to fastboot format this partition?

erasing 'cache'...

FAILED (remote: erasing error!)

finished. total time: 5.038ss

I tried flashing recovery (just for kicks) I get

***SEND RECOVERY***

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp-2.8.5.0.img

sending 'recovery' (11796 KB)...

OKAY [ 10.472s]

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) signature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 11.316sss

Which I guess is to be expected,

I then found an RUU for the device and was thankful the unlocking didn't work so I was still locked, but every one I try to download is corrupt? Anybody have a working link for a UK ee (orange) radios and firmware? And do I have the right idea with this, download, rename, chuck it on an sdcard and bootloader should find it automatically?

Thanks for any advice

If You want to try ROMs with various pagepools, You can:

1. Download and unpack the attached file into any location on Your PC.

2. Start the PagePool Changer.

3. Select the ROM file (Your RUU_signed.nbh; but - works with OS.nb too).

4. If selected file is valid ROM (pagepool size found), You can change the pagepool size. After that press "Change to" button.

Done. Pagepool size is changed. Flash the ROM and enjoy.

And never download ROMs with different pagepools anymore - don't abuse Internet with unnecessary traffic... :)
