Same problem here!
I don't know what the problem is...
I tried to reinstall adfree, but that doesn't help.
Any ideas?
You guys could always manually download the hosts file; either by looking it up here on XDA or you might be able to get it using the adfree app (dunno about this because i personally don't use the app)
Regardless of how you get the hosts file, once you have it just replace your older one using estrongs, adb, terminal, root explorer, w/e you want.
located at /system/etc/hosts

Download the android SDK, use adb shell to remount system by hand and exchanges the files you want by hand.
If something doesn't work then you can tell us what the error read and we can provide further help.
Info on adb shell is available through forum search or google .

Sorry Im searching now for 2h and couldnt find any way to get this working.
I downloaded the sdk but Im not able to connect to the phone...
Im dont know how to find the right tutorial, I need one to setup my ADB and connect to the phone and afterwords to remount the system...
I would suggest using Root Explorer, which allows you to remount directories as R/W.

I'm familiar with the linux filesystem, but what i'm not sure is how to access or view this file system. Say I wanted to place a file in /etc/system, what program can i use to do that? When connected to my PC via USB, all I get is the SD card with download..data...titanium backup..gps...etc
Cheers

First you need to root your phone. As the term implies it gives you root access.
Then use an app like root explorer to get into root directories, mount them as rw, then do as you will.

Hello,
for me sounds like you need root access to your system to see this folders and a file explorer with root too like root explorer....but is not for free. I already didn´t found a free option.
Is only a idea...I didn´t try self
Edit: I was too slow :-D

My phone is rooted with Darky's 9.5. I would know how to do this in linux, mounting...chmod for permissions, something like that...are you saying an app like root explorer lets me access /etc, /mnt, and so on? Are there free alternatives?

Running gingervolt 1.2, great rom, ran both oneclick root methods...zerglings etc...the esteem method says the phones been rooted. MT's method runs through the root procedure...then afterwards, I manually update superuser to 3.03, because niether of those methods will do that. Still when attempting to write a boot animation zip to the /system/media folder, I get the error "sytsem is read only"....
not sure if the root isn't taking....any help is greatly appreciated
What are you using to write the boot animation? Also, If you are using Root Explorer make sure you mount /system R/W. I believe it is in the top right corner. I've never used it :/ Just heard from people with it

You have root. Make sure you mount the system folder as read/write (R/W) before you try to change anything. It defaults as read only. If you're using Root Explorer it's in the upper right corner.

Lol I saw that. Posted at the exact same time. If only I my words per minute were faster. Mavis Beacon here I come.
Just as info I'm not sure why but using
adb remount has never worked for me the best and easiest way to do it us root explorer just rename the original to bootanimation.zip.old and paste the new one in there

Hello
I recently picked up a HD Fire which is on the newest update 7.2.1 and rooted it with the "Qemu automated root" method, which it said was successful. I see the SU app, thing is "ES file explorer" wont let me turn on root explorer and another app "root explorer" wont let me change system permissions to R/W to move apps around.. I am stuck, and I am assuming that I am not rooted if I cant change permissions?
Thanks..

.... I cant change anything with Read only and I am not able to enable r/w, including moving files to root directory with the app.
Edit: Weird.. I redid the root process for the 5th time and it finally worked.

Glad you got it working....In My experience (which isnt great) Id Just sack ES Explorer and use Root Explorer....Its quite simple in there. There is a button at the top that is for read only or read write.....It says Mount R/W to get read write or when your in RW it says Mount R/O for read Only. Im a massive fan of Root Explorer ....And no I dont have anything to do with it......Its the best Stat! for less than £4 I also have their SQL database editor....Which actually lets you edit stuff...Unlike some Ive had to get refunds for!
