AdAway not working with P8Lite ?

hi all
So, i rooted my device using KingRoot, i did not unlock the bootloader since i won't be flashing any custom roms or recoveries.
I installed AdAway, the latest stable release, when i try to enable ad blocking with it, i always get this error msg:
Copy failed
Copying of hosts file failed!
Please read Help for more information.
Is there any way to fix this ? and if not, is there any other way to block Ads without the use of AdAway ?
Thanks!

I rooted using SuperSU and AdAway works great . Don't know why isn't it working with you.. Make sure you granted root permission from KingRoot apk

I did, it has root permission
If i have to use SuperSU, that means i need to unlock my BL and flash TWRP correct ?

Some root "programs" are not strong enough.. Like SuperSU x Superuser.. It is possible that your choice is weak i have SuperSU (instaled via TWRP) and adaway works great.

Need help with unrooting

So basically whenever I flash a stock rom on my s6 edge plus my phone bootloops and I get the drk check error, but when I root it with su or cf auto root it seems to fix the drk check error, I want to flash stock rom on my device without having to root it. I think in twrp it says something about me having systemless root or something, I assume that means my phone is rooted when it doesnt have any roms or something, I need help trying to flash stock rom without getting a bootloop or having to root so Im assuming I need to unroot system, I have even trying flashing this unsu zip which is supposed you unroot, also when I open super su I have tried unrooting through settings and it seems to work but there is a remaining root somewhere as I am unable to use parralel space or snapchat or barclays.

You'd be good to go with Magisk (get the v12 and flash the zip in TWRP)
Now days ROMs don't come pre-rooted as often as concern for system modification and apps that block use on rooted phones.
Magisk has the ability to do root without modifying the system partition (so called systemless root) also has option to quickly hide root
If you don't care about that you can follow the guidelines suggested above by the other answer and you'll find SuperSU systemless root, and you're good to go.
Quick note, if superSU fails (bootloops) read the TWRP log while you installed SuperSU and try to find in which mode did it got installed. This is because older versions of SuperSU failed to detect Moto Clark as systemless and went for system root , which caused bootloop. There are instructions on SuperSU thread on how to force systemless root method

SM-G5520 Nougat Not Flashing GApps with Flashfire after rooting with magisk, Help me

I Have SM-G5520 Nougat, I rooted it successfully here
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...g5520-g5520zcu1brb1-nougat-root-twrp-t3772104
But, as mentioned there, I run Flashfire, Grant root access, Browse for GApps.zip and flash it, but after click on flash screen goes black and didn't show any proccess of flashing GApps.
After waiting 2 - 4 Hours, There was still a black screen like my phone is off and I restart my phone. Now there is not a single GApp installed there. Please help me to flash GApps.
I continue my research on rooting and flashing and i got some points that are below,
1. Magisk is system-less root that's why when ever i tried any app to modify system folder or root directory my phone got restart.
2. I tried SuperSU system-less but the device isn't going to root.
3. I tried King Root, Kingoapp, OneClickRoot, Dr. Phone root, iRoot and much more with and without PC but my device was not going to root but only Magisk root my device.
4. I tried CFAuto Root with all modifications but due to my phone didn't have "OEM Unlock" option, flashing CF Root cause failure.
5. I tried to push GApps into Original Firmware, but that way takes a lot time and i failed there because of security reasons (And that was my first attempt to modify "Firmware" I must failed ).
All the conclusion of my work let me know that i have to root my SM-G5520 Nougat as system root that will going to work 100% to flash GApps.
Now Please help me to root system wise and flashing GApps.
Thanks Advance

Remove SuperSU from Custom ROM

So, I've been playing around with my On5, mainly trying out different ROMs. I found a ROM I like and I've installed my own launcher on it. But now I have a slight problem. The ROM is rooted with SuperSU, but I would rather use Magisk. When I try to flash Magisk via TWRP it gives me an error along the lines of "boot image has been patched with unsupported files" or something to that effect. I've tried using the Unsu.zip to remove the root but it apparently doesn't remove some files that Magisk is complaining about. Is there any way to remove the root from this ROM so that I can install Magisk?
P.S. I prefer Magisks systemless root because I have an app that checks for root
P.P.S. I can reflash the ROM if necessary
Any help is appreciated!
