Naprave HTC

AdAway ne deluje na napravah s tako imenovano "funkcijo" S-ON, ki je prisotna na večini HTC naprav in preprečuje zapisovanje hosts datotek.

S-ON/S-OFF?

S-OFF pomeni, da je sistemski del telefona odklenjen in se nanj lahko piše. Privzeta nastavitev za HTC naprave je S-ON, ki onemogoči pisanje po sistemskem delu telefona (tu se nahajajo vse aplikacije, ki jih niste namestili sami; npr. aplikacija za SMS in telefon, nastavitve, itd.), kjer se nahaja tudi hosts datoteka. S-ON prav tako ne more zagotoviti trajnega root dostopa in vsili preverjanje slik pred "flashanjem".

Ali imam S-ON ali S-OFF?

Boot into the Boot Menu on your device by holding down volume down button while pressing power and the text on top will show the flag status as either S-OFF or S-ON. A full root generally means S-OFF.

Rešitev

Prerequisite: You have to install a working Android SDK with ADB shell on your PC.

  1. Boot into the Boot Menu on your device by holding down volume down button while pressing power.
  2. Use volume down to select recovery.
  3. In clockwork recovery volume down to "partitions menu" and hit the track pad to select
  4. Select mount /system, mount /sdcard and mount /data.
  5. Plug in your usb cord and open a command line on your pc.
  6. Enter adb shell and type
    ln -s /data/data/hosts /system/etc/hosts
    (This creates a symbolic link, which allows AdAway to edit the hosts file stored in /data while allowing the OS to use the file as if it were stored in /system.)
  7. Reboot your device and set Target hosts file to /data/data/hosts in AdAway's preferences.
  8. AdAway should work now.
