AdBlock

Has anyone tried to run the adblock script on their phones yet? I keep trying it on mine, and making some minor modifications to the script and to the method of running it, but I cant get it to run.
Unlike on the G1 (and others), there seems to be no hosts file in /system/etc. Was it moved to another location (I can't find it). I manually created a hosts file and moved it to /system/etc, but it did not block anything.
Every time I have tried it, I get the following:
# sh adblock.sh
sh adblock.sh
: not found
: not found
: not found
: not found
: not found
: not found
ADBLOCK: Remounting /system to read-write
mount: No such file or directory
: not found
ADBLOCK: Testing for Internet Connection...
adblock.sh: 139: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "then")
# busybox sh adblock.sh
busybox sh adblock.sh
: not found line 23:
: not found line 27:
: not found line 32:
: not found line 34:
: not found line 36:
: not found line 41:
ADBLOCK: Remounting /system to read-write
mount: No such file or directory
: not found line 44:
ADBLOCK: Testing for Internet Connection...
adblock.sh: line 139: syntax error: unexpected end of file (expecting "then")\
This is the same one I used on my G1 (without any modifications). Looks like it is bombing out right at the end, but not sure what needs to be changed to get it running.

I run adfree and it work perfectly.

Does that block ads within apps, or just for the browser?

any idea?

- Get visionary+
- Temproot your legend with it
- Use commandline with adb on your pc to flash misc1-2.img.
type the following commands from the folder where you have adb;
Code:
adb shell
su
accept the notification on your phone if one comes up
and then in the command line type this;
Code:
/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
That should be enough to make it possible to run the 1.31 RUU.

same problem here..try many way as stated!!

i should follow these downgrade steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725430 till the end when i keep receiving the reported error, then i should install visionary, temproot, and from a command prompt (starting from the "tools" directory of the android SDK? and the misc1-2.img goes there?) i should type those command.
and then?
run the RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_ 7.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed.exe?

Did you get the # symbol after the su command? If not, then you have to do temp root again.

What does ADB say? Do you have Debug Mode eneabled?

[Q] Security policy blocking native software

I am trying to make a rather complicated script work, but with all the shells I've tried so far I'm gettimg permission issues. Tried the sh of two differemt busyboxes, the default mksh and Bash 4.0
Also tried to use different interpreters but nothing changed.
Example of the errors I get:
Code:
/system/bin/threaddl: line 3: /system/bin/basename: Permission denied
/system/bin/threaddl: line 26: /data/local/bin/egrep: Permission denied
/system/bin/threaddl: line 26: /system/xbin/sed: Permission denied

/system/bin/threaddl: line 26: /data/local/bin/egrep: Permission denied
/system/bin/threaddl: line 27: /data/local/bin/egrep: Permission denied
These executables exist with 755 permission and have the root:root owner property

Work on Note 7 with FE Firmware?

Anybody has a copy of the N930W8VLU3APL1 firmware? Just the system.img would work too

looking at your logs you literally didnt follow the instuctions at all.
right after you type nmake run you have to turn on your mobile hotspot on the device and wait until it loads, then rur off mobile hot spot. right after u type nmake reverse you have to turn on your mobile hotspot on the device again and wait for it to finish loading and then turn off mobile hotspot. Then when you type nmake connect it should look like its hanging, there should not be your devices name followed by a $ or #, its just blank. at this point type in id and youll see that you are root. the type in : echo u:r:init:s0 > /proc/self/attr/current and then type in : echo u:r:init:s0 > /proc/self/attr/exec.
and lastly type in : sh /data/local/tmp/super-chris/root.sh
Now you are full SuperSu root, you csn type in adb shell and then su and youll see a # but know this, it isnt permanent yet so when you reboot, the root disappears and you have to do it over again, im still working on trying to mount the system to make it permanent.

After pushing the folder to /data/local/tmp you have to type adb shell chmod -R 0777 /data/local/tmp
Also type ls /data/local/tmp/super-chris to see what's in the folder, it might be root1.sh but I'm pretty sure it's root.sh

Thank you for the suggestions...I will give them a try and report back. :good:

Ok...I can confirm the Temp Root instructions work with changing the file/folder permissions step. Unfortunately when performing certain Root functions, such as allowing Ad Block to update the Host file, the phone reboots...I tried this about 5 times all with the same result and just gave up and installed Blokada instead.

Help downloading the new kernel

The old instructions from Nvidia (new ones aren't available yet) say to set up the git directory with "repo init -u git://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/manifest/android/binary.git -b rel-24-uda-r1.4-partner -m tlk/t210.xml". Do I use the same branch for the Oreo sources, or do I switch to the new "rel-29-r3-partner" branch? Thanks

Well, I tried compiling the current branch and it gave me a Nougat kernel, so I'm guessing Oreo is on rel29. However, it seems to be incomplete. "Repo sync" gave me the following error:
Code:
..
Fetching projects: 95% (534/562) Fetching project android/platform/external/seccomp-tests

fatal: Couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/stage-main-partner
error: Cannot fetch tegra/prebuilts-licensed-binary-tlk-t210

I found I could bypass the error by editing .repo/manifests/tlk/t210.xml and commenting out the line for the prebuilt binaries, then downloading them from https://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?p=tegra/prebuilts-licensed-binary-tlk-t210.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/rel-29-r3-partner. But I ran into another problem.

I checked that all the files are readable and owned by me. No idea what to do here. Maybe the O sources just aren't complete yet.

@Mogster2K
i have the same problem with the sources:
Code:

[...]
error: Exited sync due to fetch errors
Code:
/bin/bash: build/tools/normalize_path.py: Permission denied
Is the file executable? Does the following help?
Code:
chmod +x build/tools/normalize_path.py

It's already marked executable. I'm guessing that some stuff just hasn't been pushed to the repo yet.
