How to edit hosts file? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How are you able to edit the hosts file in systemless route? I used SuperSU 2.66 flashed on MMB29S build. All I want to do is set up some redirects and possibly adaway.

You have to make some space. Is not systemless root that is the problem. Changes in marshmallow made the system partition full. Reboot into twrp, mount system in rw and delete some unneeded apps in system/apps
Korean and Hindu keyboards for example. But dont delete the latin one. Or some google apps that can be added back in from the store.

I deleted sheets using Titanium, so it must be the mounting. Time to go search on how to do that. Thanks!
Trying `adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system` and get `mount: can't find /system in /proc/mounts`.

They look like they are deleting in TI, but they don't delete. I just flashed the January update today and that is what happened to me. I have seen that twice now. Cant help you with the adb command, I just used twrp to mount and delete.

Totally didn't even see that option. You just reboot after checking it? Every time I go back to it, it's unchecked.

Since checking mount system does nothing, I went into Advanced > Terminal and did an `rm -rf GoogleHindiIME` and still can't edit the hosts file.

I mount in twrp. Delete hindu and korean with the file manager in twrp. Reboot, install adaway and it works. I have never manually edited it.
No, the system mount in twrp does not stick on reboot. Mounting system with systemless root is tricky as I understand it. So I just avoid it.

You can't mount system as rw in a booted Android system unless you have a permissive kernel, and you should not have a permissive kernel.

Had the same problem and didn't want to remove things from /system. You can follow the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3266107

Needed: stock "install-recovery.sh"

can someone please upload the stock "install-recovery.sh"?
It's located in /system/etc.
I forgot to backup it, while rooting the device.
I need it for the OTA updates.
thanks
@vel_tins
Do not flash the ota if you are rooted, you might get bootloop. Full unroot your device before attempting to update. Anyhow, the ota will most likely fail since you already modified your system partition. Your best option is to unroot your device and capture the ota link, modify the ota updater-script and remove the lines that are showing "unexpected contents" errors. The original "install-recovery.sh" is still there, supersu renamed it to something like "/system/etc/install-recovery_original.sh". Keep in mind, you might loose your custom recovery if you renamed it back to "install-recovery.sh".
Well, OTA was a pain in the a**.
Because I had no stock "install-recovery.sh", I've edited the updater-script and removed all the matching entries.
Executed a full un-root.
Tried to flash the modified update.zip via TWRP, but failed because TWRP couldn't mount partitions with this name scheme:
Code:
"/dev/block/platform/[B]7824900.sdhci/by-name/system[/B]", "/system",
(will investigate later, any ideas?)
Because too lazy to modify the updater-script again,
I've booted into fastboot and loaded my "modded" stock recovery, which accepts also self-signed .zips.
Flashing worked well, but on reboot, I got a nice bootloop because of the formerly installed Xposed framework.
Had to restore from a Nandroid Backup and after reboot, I removed Xposed completely.
Eventually, I was able to flash the OTA and got back a working device...
Gosh...

If you still have the original OTA zip, can you please post it for future reference?
As for TWRP mounting /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/system, what error message did you get? Try running "ls -l /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/" in both normal Android and TWRP, then compare the results.

Stock and Cyanogen recovery are working with this partition naming scheme.
But in TWRP, I get the following error message:
Code:
ls: /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name: No such file or directory
For TWRP I have to use the following syntax in recovery.fstab:
Code:
/cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p29
/system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
/data ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p31 length=-16384
.........etc.

On TWRP, try running "find /dev/block/platform" and see if anything is created there.
The directory should have been populated by init. See https://android.googlesource.com/pl...0ab94b7d5a888f0b6920b156e5c6a075fa0741a^!/#F0.
That code should also be in TWRP, but something might have prevented it from working properly on this device. You might find some clues in dmesg or TWRP's logs.
Well, eventually I've got it.
In TWRP, the naming is a little bit different from stock or Cyanogen recovery.
I had to change:
Code:
/dev/block/platform/[COLOR="Red"]7824900.sdhci[/COLOR]/by-name/cache <--- STOCK
to
/dev/block/platform/[COLOR="Blue"]soc.0[/COLOR]/by-name/cache <--- TWRP
However, the "/dev/block/mmcblk0p" naming worked also in TWRP, so this was only a minor issue.

IMO, you should fix TWRP so that it has the same naming convention. Otherwise OTA packages using the "stock" naming convention can't be flashed on TWRP.
Personally, I prefer the "by-name" mapping rather than the "/dev/block/mmcblk0p" because it is harder to make mistakes if you use a name. With numbers, if a wrong number is typed, then you might end up flashing the wrong partition and bricking the device.
EDIT: It might have something to do with the "system/core" repository you've used to build your recovery. Which Android tree did you use to build Cyanogen Recovery and which one did you use to build TWRP?

I have to correct myself, Cyanogen has exactly the same problem.
I've used the latest CM 12.1 and Omnirom source trees to build TWRP, but with the same result.
TWRP/Cyanogen only detects "soc.0" instead of "7824900.sdhci" and that will break compatibility with OTA packages (Until you patch "updater-script").
So how you made this ota update after all ?

I would strongly suggest, to open an new thread, because I guess a lot more people will or had run into these issues.
I don't know what Kingsoft (never used it) has modified/replaced, so in your case I would search for a stock "install-recovery.sh" and replace the modified.
Everything else would be too complicated. (You have read my post on the first page).

This is just a guess. Try adding "TARGET_PLATFORM_DEVICE_BASE := /devices/soc.0/" to BoardConfig.mk.
If you know C, you might want to try mucking around in system/core/init/devices.c and see why it's behaving that way.

From my experience, you can't rely too much on Google for ROM development. I've found the flag by reading the source file I've previously mentioned.

oh, BTW, reroot = flash factory image via fastboot, flash twrp via fastbpot as well. then flash SuperSU 2.65 and boot up.
i'm using elite kernel, what is factory image?? i'm kind of a newbie just unlocking and rooting watching youtube videos. please help me!!
where can i find factory image??
okay, i will try elementalX kernel, but 1 question...do i have to do anything before i flash another kernel? cause i used to flash many kernel after and after each1, then my phone keep restarting...so i restored the 1 i backed up

delete whatever system apps you don't need from /system/app/ then reboot. it will clear up enough space. google did that on purpose, made it read that its full, this will clear up the space.

The only difference between the regular supersu and the "wear" supersu is the apk is deleted. So using the latest stable, 2.65, and just deleting /data/SuperSU.apk afterwards, it should work.

Hello,
Tried your modified TWRP (thanks in advance).
It is mounting system image (but only in readonly mode).
Supersu is installing, but even if I delete the supersu.apk after the first boot, isn't working at all and the "su" command is blocked.

Well it looks like my watch is on track to arrive on Saturday, so unless someone else looks at it before then, I'll hopefully figure something out this weekend. system will always be readonly because they switched to squashfs, which is a readonly filesystem.

[solved] Uninstall Magisk module offline/without Magisk?

(other thread here)
It seems that a Magisk module that I have recent installed (no idea which one) is preventing my phone to boot correctly. I know that because reflashing the latest OTA update removes Magisk and then it works perfectly. As soon as I flash Magisk, it doesn't boot anymore.
Even after flashing SuperSU, Magisk Manager doesn't let me see/remove installed modules.
Is there a way to do that?

Use mount-magisk.zip found in collection of modules thread and delete the folder via twrp in /magisk
@duxishere Thanks so much!
I searched for "Magisk module offline uninstall" but did find anything. This was exactly what I needed! The culprit was App Systemizer. I've had it installed for some time and it didn't cause any problems. I uninstalled it, and it worked! Flashing it again restored the boot problem.

Install "Uninstaller Mod Magisk" from TWRP. Then go in the TWRP terminal and type uninmod_magisk and follow the instructions.

If you have a current version of Magisk installed, yes you do. Enable viewing hidden files and folders in your file explorer. The dot at the beginning of the folder name means it's hidden...

(other thread here)
It seems that a Magisk module that I have recent installed (no idea which one) is preventing my phone to boot correctly. I know that because reflashing the latest OTA update removes Magisk and then it works perfectly. As soon as I flash Magisk, it doesn't boot anymore.
Even after flashing SuperSU, Magisk Manager doesn't let me see/remove installed modules.
Is there a way to do that?

If you can launch TWRP then :
Check magisk.img exist
1. Go to "advanced" and then click on "File Explorer".
2. Check there is "magisk.img" file under "/data"
Backup magisk.img
1. Go to "advanced" and then click on "terminal command".
2. type following command
Code:
cp /data/magisk.img /data/magisk.img.bk
Mount magisk.img
1. Make a temp folder
Code:
mkdir /mktmp
2. Mount magisk.img to /mktmp
Code:
mount -o loop /data/magisk.img /mktmp
3. Navigate to mktmp and remove your module
Code:
cd /mktmp
rm -rf /mktmp/xxxx
Unmount magisk.img and reboot to check if it's work
1. Unmount magisk.img
Code:
umont /mktmp
2. Leave terminal and reboot the phone
3. Enjoy!

Thanks mate ! it worked like a charm !
just use "ls" command on step 3 after changing directory to mktmp , to show installed modules.:silly:
My Phone Specification : Moto X Play ------ 7.1.1 Stock Firmware -------- Squid kernel --------- rooted using Magisk ------ systemless xposed module "xposed_25" installed using magisk module(Uninstalled by this method !) .:victory:
Tanks a lot!
Crossbreeder lite made my phone unusable. Working fine again!
magisk.img not found in /data
This works like charm, if you can't find the magisk.img in `/data` check `/data/adb` ... I hope this work .

Own domain huh? Business growing? Hehehe I only came for the uninstall zip, hey quick question, I'm on a micro sd-less phone (big news), still a flashaholic, kinda, but my phone so happens to require a data format every time for gsi's, where would you recommend keeping the "things to keep on your device" (Magisk related) so i don't have to carry an otg and drive everywhere i go? Thank you sir, you almost get more thanks than posts! Talk about reputation!

Do you have to completely wipe the device? Or can you keep internal storage intact? If not, it sounds like you're out of luck.
Nice thread hijack, by the way... :laugh:

Well i do a factory reset, flash system img and reboot, let it loop because it will, and then do a data format before it will boot, so system, caches, and data go... (Huawei, see)

I kinda stayed on topic didn't i? :crying:
You linked to your help guide which i read the beginning of that by the way has nothing to do with the help you offered to the op and reminded me of my struggles with a totally different device and problem!!
It's like how I'm related to my grandma's cousin's wife's sister's doctor's neighbor's son's friend, ain't it?

Would be cool if someone could share the adb solution. In the FAQ is just written "email me for this" wtf?!? It is ****ing anoying to reflash the whole system everytime a module isnt working (yeah thats what you need to do if your device doesnt have twrp, and a lot of a/b devices dont have twrp). Also you need to delete all user datas because you flashed the system new and the new system doesnt know the encryption key for the user datas. There need to be a better solution than using twrp or email the dev for adb solution.
The easiest way would be to make it possible that magisk manager can manage (remove/deactivate) the modules while there is no patched boot.img installed. This would solve all problems related to a/b devices without twrp and magisk modules (not booting or anything else) just flash stock boot.img remove the problematic module flash patched boot.img and done. This is not possible because the module section in magisk manager is hidden when there is no patched boot.img installed.
Second thing i noticed, magisk manager doesnt reset the active modules when you wipe the app data. This should be a MUST. Would also solve the problem of not booting modules without wiping the whole system on a/b devices without twrp.
Apply .disable_magisk

Hi!. I have this user of XDA Dev. hanging out for a time... well the fact is I'm new. My problem (not the only one) maybe merge a kind of solution to this. And this could be putting the ".disable_magisk" blank file inside the cache partition as an ADB Sideload update.
Next to this. I've found that to do that it's not as simply as it seems to be cause I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S7 Nougat 7.0 Version. And all the examples with update-binary file I have, are from downgrade versions...
I'm stuck in a bootloop due to the Magisk Xposed SDK 24 module. I think this module & encription is not good (as I've read on the Xpose module thread).
So, here I'm asking how to make an script to run directly on the Stock recovery using ADB Sideload, which will put the blank ".disable_magisk" file inside the /cache partition. I need just this, and I think this could help some people who are stuck on this issue.
Now, I have this Thread. But really I need the advice of an expert telling me what to do in order to achieve this. As I think this is an easy labor, but you have to know how to do it... If someone is able to clarify please, I will appreciate so much.
Thanks!

I need to know how to locate the mount point of my /cache partition at the stock recovery ADB Sideload. Then, to mount it, transfer the blank file to it, and then unmount /cache. I think it's an easy labor. So here my incomplete updater-script:
ui_print("Trying to make an script with ADB Sideload..."); CRLF
ui_print("Creating file to disable Magisk Modules..."); CRLF
I NEED THE MOUNT POINT HERE CRLF
ifelse package_extract_file(".disable_magisk", "/cache/.disable_magisk") == "t", ui_print("OK!"), ui_print("Failed!"); CRLF
UNMOUNT COMMAND HERE. CRLF
--last blank line--
So, I need to complete that, BUT things gets difficult when I need the update-binary for my Nougat 7.0 version, and to sign the whole .zip file in order my stock recovery recognizes it. I think this last thing could be made by this Thread. But really I don't know. Please help.
Thanks!.

Problems with mounting the system

My Magisk does not mount the system in RW, when the system changes, the smartphone hangs. Smartphone BQ Aquaris X Android 7.1.1

It's systemless. Make /system changes in recovery. You can use twrp file manager to edit things in /system or /oem

Well that is kinda strange. You should be able to change things since you have root, but some devices do tend to lock up changing certain files while the system is running. Depending on the file of course.
For instance,y moto e4 locks up if I modify anything in /oem. So I have to do it in recovery.
I also have this problem on my Lenovo TAB 4.
When I remount /system to rw, android hangs/freezes and only thing that unfreeze my device is power button reboot.
Can someone help me with that?
