[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yasharkhan:
I was facing the same problem, for every one trying to get adaway to work on android 6.0.1, follow these steps

Boot to TWRP recovery -> Mount system

adb shell

cd system

cd etc

rm hosts

ln -s /data/data/hosts /system/etc/hosts

In AdAway -> Settings -> hosts file to use is /data/data/hosts

ill find the guide i used to root and link it here to see if anyone see's a problem there

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trbomp5:
just to clearify, those steps are all done in recovery? And im not the best at ADB on the computer, used to odin on samsung the last 3 years

any way i can get you to step by step these with all i need to do?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Look in the stickies thread in general for how to root.

Usually what i do is:

Flash or boot into TWRP

Flash superuserSU

Install BusyBox

That's it as i use the stock rom, kernel and recovery. I just need root.

No, when the device is turned on.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trbomp5:
So the first step is in TWRP the second stuff I need to do with adb and the last one is just a setting in adaway
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
I use adfree much higher better than adaway. I've never been able to get adaway to work properly
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
No, you either use:

1. Fastboot (bootloader), fastboot format data

OR

2. TWRP, format data in wipe.

Adb is used when the device is turned on or in recovery, fastboot when in the bootloader/fastboot mode.

THIS.

I don't post a lot, but I wanted to thank you. I installed N last night with the Wug Nexus Tool kit and I couldn't get Adaway to work. I've been scanning forums and threads all over the net and this is the only thing that worked.

Thanks friend!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravitywell:
Well... I might need to take this back. AdAway updates the host file but it doesn't seem to be blocking anything.

Anyone have suggestions?

I flashed the referenced zip, but it didn't help.

Adaway appears to be downloading / updating / applying just fine, but ads arent getting blocked.

I flashed the referenced zip, then updated Adaway, and still have ads.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Check with a hosts file editor if Adaway did create 'hosts'

Also check in Adaway that AdBlock is enabled.

When not successful uninstall Adaway first.

Than flash 'systemless' and reinstall Adaway.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
After updating adaway, did you reboot?

I followed the instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=64834262#post64834262 - worked just fine on rooted N6
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravitywell:
It's activated, and the hosts file also appears to be populated.

I uninstalled, flashed the zip, and reinstalled; having the same situation.

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

I've rebooted multiple times. Full power cycles.

I uninstalled, and tried the modified apk listed there, but that gives me the original issue I was having, it couldn't create the host files.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
May I or we conclude that Adaway did what it must do. It creates the hosts file with url's to block. And Adaway is configured correctly.

Secondly the 'systemless' method does not seem to work. The 'systemless' method is needed when there is no space in the system partition for the hosts file.

My idea is that you make space in the system partition by deleting files you don't use. The hosts file of Adaway needs about 2-3mb.

Or flash a slimmed down rom like the one I am using (Lite stock rom of Danvdh).

No more other suggestions. Sorry
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
What ads are not blocked?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravitywell:
I see ads pretty much everywhere. Websites, apps.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

Should I clear out system/etc/ or data/data/?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Systemless method is needed when you are rooted in systemless mode and want to keep system unmodified. Not having room in the system partition is a different issue but can also be addressed by using a systemless setup.

If you are still having ads served after a reboot with the hosts file populated as in your earlier picture, then there is something else going on. A cache that needs to be cleared, something. AdAway has done its job by creating the hosts file. That is all Ad Away does.

Try clearing the cache of the app(s) you're getting ads in. If you are using chrome, the cache definitely need to be cleared.

Do you have some sort of bandwidth management enabled? That would stop the host file from blocking ads.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
I am using 'systemless root' and 'normal' Adaway's hosts file in system/etc.

Because the 'systemless hosts' is used, I wonder if it is possible that apps are linked to the wrong location.

EDIT:

In this case the system partition is modified.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Before installing the modified apk, did you flash the "systemless" ZIP from the OP of what I linked to?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravitywell:
When using the modified APK, I flashed the systemless zip first.

This is when it was giving me the original error again, it couldn't create the hosts.

The instructions specified not to change any of the settings, so I didn't try changing the host location to data/data/hosts.

I messed with it again last night. Uninstalled it completely and tried again. I cleared the cache on Firefox, and Tapatalk. I'm still seeing ads everywhere. I also logged the DNS requests when logging into Tapatalk, and manually added the ad requests to the black list (via app functionality) and they were still visible. Additionally, I also cleared out the extra language keyboards and a few apps from system/etc and I still get the error that the file can't be created when it's using system/etc/hosts as it's designation.

I believe I stated it before, and it may not mean anything, but I didn't do a systemless root. I used the Wugsoft Nexus Root Toolkit to root. Does this change anything?

I'm willing to do anything, including a completely format / root again if needed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Which is why what I wrote was:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
So me thinks there had been a whole lot of suggestions and now it's not clear where you're at.

1) You're on a N6, what ROM are you using or are you just rooted stock?

2) Using WugFresh you are rooted using ChainFire's SuperSu, right? If so, go to SuperSu settings and confirm that you are using system root as you think.

3) If you use a root explorer or a terminal and go to "/system/etc/hosts" does that file show the contents you expect from the AdAway host file? It should be slews of lines not a brief file. If not, it's not properly linked to the actual AdAway version. The AdAway version might not be surviving a reboot (see 5).

4) That S-off warning doesn't apply to Nexus. It's a "feature" of HTC that causes problems writing to system. Don't let that side track you. All that message means on the N6 is that AdAway couldn't write to the system partition. That is a reason for using the AdAway systemless zip (before flashing the actual AdAway). But then see 5.

5) An additional issue that might be affecting your install depending on your ROM is from the AdAway FAQ

6) If this were my device, at this point I would be starting from a clean platform. If you have a nandroid from before starting installing AdAway, go back to that. If not, then starting over is what * I * would do.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
That was clear to me. My response was to short.

(post changed)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravitywell:
1) I'm currently running Android 7.0 NPD90G.

2) I've never altered any settings in SuperSu, everything is as it was installed.

3) There (was) a file there, with hosts imported from Adaway. I'm in the middle of wiping and re-rooting my phone fresh.

4) Considered it ignored.

5) Running a Nougat Developer release, not a custom ROM.

6) In the process of starting fresh right now.

Once I have root again, I'll flash the Systemless zip, and then install the custom APK for Adaway. Once the custom APK is installed, should I change the directory to data/data/hosts? or should I leave it with system/etc/hosts?

And, thank you for your assistance. This has been a headache for me!

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

Update:

Rooting with the Toolkit finished, and I ran SuperSU followed by BusyBox Smart Install.

As soon as those were finished, I downloaded the Adaway Systemless Zip and Custom APK from the linked post.

Following this, I rebooted into TWRP Recovery and flashed the zip, then rebooted to system. Once on, I installed the customer APK and then rebooted once more.

At this point, I ran AdAway and hit the "Download Files and Apply Ad Blocking" button (Did not change the host source location or any other settings.) It downloaded, applied and was enabled. I rebooted with the prompt and tested multiple sites / apps and so far, I'm not seeing Ads.

Thank you, everyone, for the support and guidance.

This happened both on my original rooted stock rom and no-name's newest:

BT will not stay on. It constantly turns off. Therefore my connection to my Garmin Epix (for notifications, etc) is very inconsistent.

I thought that this was a function of the original stock rom; but as I say, it immediately appeared when using the modified os.

Any suggestions? I do not think it is a setting related issue, or at least I have not found such a setting...

Thanks in advance,

Hi I wanted to install CM on a friends phone. He wanted to buy a Moto G 2013 (falcon) but he did accidentally buy a Moto G LTE (peregrine). I just noticed that because I tried to flash recovery for falcon and it did not work at all. Then I opened the phone and discovered the sim card slot :P

Now I upgraded Bootloader to 411A and installed TWRP v2.7.1.0 and tried to flash CM 13. CM boots up, but it doesn't recognize sim or wifi :( Wifi-Mac is shown as 02:00:00:00:00:00 and baseband version is unknown. and model is shown as xt1039. Any suggestions?

Press and hold the bottom right button

Assuming you wore the watch on your left hand, there are two buttons on the right side - towards the fingers of your left hand.

Press and hold the button on the bottom, and it will show you a menu to power off.

Repeat to start again.
[Samsung Gear S2] darekz:
From Tmobile support :

A master reset restores the original factory settings and may delete your personal data on the internal storage, such as downloads, ringtones, images, apps, contacts, and Visual Voicemail.

If the device menus are frozen or unresponsive, you can master reset using hardware keys. To perform a master reset, follow these steps:

Make sure that the Gear is powered off.

Press and hold the Power key until you see Galaxy Gear rebooting.

Release the Power key and then repeatedly press the Power key until you see the Reboot Select Mode screen.

Press the Power key to highlight the recovery option.

Long press the Power key (5-8 sec.) to select it. The device will reset and return to the factory initialization screen.
[Samsung Gear S2] dwallersv:
You can also directly reboot by simply holding the power/home button a bit longer -- about 10 seconds.

Press and hold, and when you see the "power menu" with the Power Off option, just keep holding the button until it appears to power off / go blank. Then, let go of the button. It will shortly display, "Rebooting...", and reboot.

Now, for those compsci folk out there, I don't know if this will cause any problems with caches/etc., leaving behind corrupt file system data structures or corrupting actual data, because it's not a proper shutdown of the linux kernel on the watch.

Yet, it is much simpler than the shutdown/restart method, and easier on the button (one press vs. two).

I'm not too worried, though, for a whole bunch of reasons about how linux is implemented on small and embedded devices like this with NV storage.

Thanks for replies - that's my top issue, I can connect to a term. server with my i730, but the screen is stoo small to do anything useful.

The only other thing I will have to work out is portability.

I carry the i730 on a belt, I assume that won't work for the 7501. But carrying it on a belt means always and always having it on-hand. I'd have to do something similar with the 7501.

I'm reading that many people are treating it more as a mini-laptop then a pocketpc/phone - (ie, not always carrying it) - how do you guys handle it? I fear it will be sitting at home when I need to emergency connect to a terminal server.

BTW, I know I'd use a bluetooth headset for phone calls, and I thought about folable (and full size) bluetooth keyboards for data entry - but for some reason I never thought about a bluetooth mouse.

If I carry just the unit (without even the magnetic keyboard) by itself all the time, but have power/bluetooth keyboard & mouse available in a bag for trips... well, VERY tempting.

Oh, almost forgot - 1 handed use! I assume that's out the window - especially reading ebooks 1 handed? Any way to hold the unit with 1 hand & turn pages with the same hand (without pain) ?
