Thanks!
And the format means to backup and reset device right?!

These problems usually happen because of the wrong hosts file includings so you should delete the hosts file and reboot your device but i am sorry cause you need root. To do it use es file explorer in root explorer mode or any other root explorers you know then switch to the root directory of your phone go to system/etc/ and then you can find a file named hosts.txt there then delete that file and reboot. It should do the trick.

Now I've rooted so now tell me someway through which I can delete the hosts file? Ed file Explorer... I know it... but what to do in it? Anger fist...

Thread move to Galaxy Tab S Q&A

Bro i think i gave the whole instruction i attach some pictures you can see how to find that hosts file if you enabled root explorer in es tools section in fast access bar you will be able to delete that file and then reboot. It should do it i had that problem 3 months with my sgs3 and then i find this way and fixed it. GL

My problem is solved ! I deleted host file and I can access my google account

[Q] ES File Explorer + Sandisk 32Gb

hi all DHD users,
Just got myself a Sandisk 32Gb sdcard. I notice that ES Explorer is not working if I enable the root options in Settings.
I see a folder without name. I cannot access it, nor I can do anything about it. I notice that once I disable the root options I can see my files again.
Searched the forum and didn't find what I'm looking for. Sorry if this question is ever answered, but is there a fix for this?

The best thing would be check if the problem persists with other kinds of file explorer. Then you will know if it is ES file explorer or sdcard.
Maybe defragment or formatting helps?

Forget the defragment...it wont help you anyway that was just something stupid i came up with...
But have you tried to check if you have same problem with other file explorers? Try for example, linda file manager or astrid or root explorer

Ermm, Astro File Manager worked, but I cannot enter /data/system. /data folder is empty. It's just like ES File Explorer without root options.

Well mate i don't know if there is a point in doing this, but maybe trying to fix permissions via CWM might help? I read somewhere that fixing permissions via CWM deletes pics from sms or so...

haha, yea, actually all I wanted to do is to delete batterystats.bin. I guess I'll just do it in recovery mode then.
I guess the only work around is:
if root options is enabled, disable it and then go back, you will see all the folders again.
then enable the root options, when you want to edit the system/data files, for example delete batterystats.bin fille.

[Q] How to change file permissions without using root explorer?

Im new at this, just rooted my phone yesterday . Im trying to download the sprint navigation apk because, well, i like it. Ive read other posts and they all talk about using chmod and i honestly have no idea what that is. If you could tell me how to change system/app folder permissions to read write instead of just read so i can move the .apk in that folder thatd be great

Download ES File Explorer from the market. Go into settings and root options. Check the Root Explorer box, the HIAPK will already be checked. Then check mount file system. When you are all done, before exiting go back and uncheck mount and root, or you may have trouble running it a second time reading the sd card. Not all have this problem.
You can also just install the Sprint Nav apk conventionally to data. It doesn't have to be in system/app.
Thanks Kenny...worked perfectly. Used it to remove the camera shutter file in system/media/audio/ui so the camera wouldn't make noise when taking pics. It was an r only file.

[Q] Cant edit or delete instal-recover.sh

I am trying to use clock work mod to instal custom rom.... I am running the latest ics release rooted and unlock...
you need to download root explorer
then go to "/etc"
then click "Mount R/W" on the top of the screen,
and then delete install-recovery.sh
What is the question?
If you ARE rooted you need to install a file manager (Ex. Root Explorer), set R/W and either delete or Rename the file. Suggest you simply rename by adding a .bak to the end of it.
Once this is complete flash the recovery image through fastboot.
BTW .. you could have posted this in the Clockwork thread and the instructions I gave above are already there.
Edit: LOL ... I must type too slow. In 7 minutes you got three identical answers.
Need to be 100% rooted n a root explorer

Make sure you mount the system as r/w.

[Q] Can't Install Titanium Backup (CM9 nightly user)

Like the title says I'm unable to install TB onto my Nitro running CM9 nightlies. The market keeps giving me the "insufficient memory" error but I can install other apps just fine. I don't know if it's the rom since I haven't seen other ppl posting about this issue but if anyone else has encountered it and knows the solution I'd greatly appreciate the help!
*Note*
I tried clearing cache, data, uninstalling market updates, the whole 9

Nice sarcasm...too bad I tried those methods already like I mentioned!
tried "the whole nine" isn't really giving anyone any idea what you have tried. !
nevertheless, the point of the google search i posted was to illustrate that this is a problem with the play store, not with the nitro specifically and since you asked if anyone else has encountered this problem in your OP, I concluded you are not aware that this is a known problem across devices.
there is a file like com.xxxxx.TitaniumBackup.odex some thing like that under
/data/app folder. Just delete that file and try to install again...

everybody should have /data/app folder as its default. If you are your ES file explorer check on top, next to local.. it shows path of current directory.. may be you looking at /sdcard/data ... not that one ...tap on UP button on ES file explorer till you go to root directory ( it shows just "/" on top directory path )
there you should see /data/ and then app directory ...

Went into the settings and I didn't have root access checked. Checked it and was able to get to "/". Went to data and it was empty. Tried "Show hidden files" but it didn't do anything unfortunately

Ok, the way to disable the hosts file is easy.
Use a root capable file manager like Root Explorer
and go to /System/Etc (open the etc folder).
There you will find a file called "hosts", just delete
the file and restart the phone and your done.
If you ever want to install another or aa new adblocker
it will re-create the hosts file for you automatically.
Good luck!
Perfect!!!!!!

You can always rename it to hosts.bak, and you can also edit it manually
with an appropriate ascii editor.
If you know exactly which line in the hosts file causes problems with some other
app that are installed in your phone then you can if you like remove that one line
only and leave the rest alone so it will continue to block ads from the other apps
or sites and so on.
Good luck!
Thank you sir. Renaming it to .bak is also a good trick.

It also work with 4.4.2 Kitkat. I personally use this with Lucky patcher and able to get satisfy result. See how that goes for you .
@Lorettaa Thanks for the tips, I will try that and will let you know how the results work out.
No problem dude.
