Thanks. I actually realised though that Magisk has an option to generate a systemless hosts file so I've turned that on and it has done what I need. I run a pihole at home that has a script which generates a standard hosts file from the blocklist. I can just on occasion save it to /sdcard/ and...

Hi, Forgive me as I've been off the android scene for a while, at least to the point I have had to keep up with developments. I want to replace /etc/hosts on my device to save using a vpn, etc. to block ads. On my Nexus 6P this was easy, remount rw, replace, or adfreezip. On my S10 this is not...

Ok. I am confused here. I bought a Mi 8 Explorer from eBay, it looked to me like the Mi 8 Explorer does - with the transparent back. I have been looking at ways to root this thing and have not found many guides for the ursa model, I guess as it is quite rare right now. I just ran DevCheck on my...

I'm planning to run this on my S7 Edge SM-G935F. Is there a specific kernel I should use? I've had no luck so far and I saw a comment somewhere that a custom kernel is needed

Here's my situation. I have a stock rooted S7 Edge but I need to use Good for Enterprise and my employer does not allow root on their Good policy. I have toyed with trying to hide it but it doesn't seem that there is a reliable way. My only option appears to be to load another stock rom via dual...

I am trying to unlock the bootloader on this thing. I've gone in to Settings > Developer Options and checked 'OEM unlocking'. I've enabled USB debugging. I plugged the phone in and issued 'adb reboot-bootloader'. ...Then the phone powers off, comes on and just gives me the Huawei logo as if...

Hi there, I have a network unlocked Z1C which came from o2. The bootloader unlock allowed status is No but the phone is rooted. Is there anything I can do to this to unlock it? I feel like trying CM on it :) Thanks! I have searched for answers to this but no joy...

1279-4558_R5C UK o2 .757 Not rooted. Phone is about 5 minutes old.

I tried method 2 first. The temproot exploit doors not work on 4.4.2

Are you S-ON or S-OFF and have you tried booting a recovery img rather than flashing it from fastboot?

Given that he is S-ON I wouldn't have thought he would be able to flash anything lower than his current 4.4.2 I have the same problem here. Got a replacement One from o2 and it is on 1.57 with 4.4.2. I hear this update has now been pulled so we may be rare cases. I'm wondering if I should...

So I can't seem to find anything that answers this anywhere. I have some remembered WiFi networks which are open but require me to hit OK on the login page once I connect in order to use the internet. If my phone is in my pocket it will connect to these networks but not be able to access the...

So would I be able to S-OFF my current 1.57 using existing tools and then flash this? I basically want to be able to return it to stock if needs be and if I unlock the bootloader it will show tampered unless I have the ability to S-OFF it.

I only seem to find information about 1.57 for the HTC One V. Does anyone have knowledge of this for the HTC One? I had a HTC One on 1.55 which was faulty, UNLOCKED and S-OFF, I used the guide here to return it to stock LOCKED S-ON. I sent it back to O2 for a warranty replacement and received...

I didn't even know about that one. Thanks very much. It did the job!
