UPDATE: Thanks to @squid2's insight, there's a better method that should work for everyone. Just download the attached script, remove the .txt extension, and drop into your su.d folder with proper permissions. For more information, see here and here.
------------------------------
This is all thanks to @nkk71, btw. Right now the fix is very hacky but I'm sure ROM devs will find a more appropriate fix soon.
I'm not sure if I want to reveal the fix publicly in case HTC's spies are monitoring the thread, lol....probably better safe than sorry. But go visit nkk71's profile and buy him many beers for figuring this out. And also find some posts by him and click "Thanks."
WARNING: Dragons ahead! Anything you flash to your device is done at your own risk!
EDIT: Alright, I'll publish a flashable zip here based on the 1.53.617.5 US Unlocked Edition. I've been testing the mod/hack for a few days now and have seen no ill effects. It should work fine on ROMs using that base.
I have NO IDEA if it'll work on ROMs using an International/Europe base or on CDMA. If you really want to try it, make sure you make a backup first! You will need to "Format Data" in TWRP and flash the standard SuperSU zip to remove forced encryption (or do it manually, if you know how).
Let the bricking begin!
P.S. Thanks of course also go to @Chainfire for SuperSU and su.d!
Just let the ROM cooks know =)

I don't really find it hacky, just another workaround
Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, I have personally decided not to share this.
(I know you above all others will understand)
It is not a secret, I have a certainly made it public (or so I thought) enough.
Unfortunately the controversy, I'm not willing to deal with... An innocent "share", turned ugly
I fully endorse this method, though I only had 7 mins of testing, before things got very ugly, a very very very very very very very very very very unfortunate incident.
So be it.
The method is still sound, and anybody who wishes to use it, I have neither any objections, just please test it.
Thanks

Looking at the logic in the HTC RIL library, in Pythonic pseudocode, it goes something like this:
Code:
if property_get("ro.crypto.state") != "encrypted":
if property_get("persist.radio.current.cnv", default="-1") == "-1":
if htcril_db_property_get("current.cnv") != "-1":
htcril_db_property_set("current.cnv", "-1")
Other libraries then query the htcril DB via the library, and behave differently if the current.cnv property is set in the DB. Based off this, I would guess that doing the following would have a similar effect without needing to hack the library:
Code:
setprop persist.radio.current.cnv 0
I haven't tried this, but I'm curious if restoring the stock libhtcril_db.so and setting this property would work.

Permissions for su.d scripts are 0700. If you want to put the script there while in recovery and you're using systemless root, you can use @osm0sis SUmount zip to mount the su.img and then the TWRP File Manager to copy the script over and change perms. Flash the SUmount zip again to unmount su.img, and then reboot.

Don't use the zip. That's the old hack. Use the script. You have to manually place it.

Because AdFree is not working on Desire:
I've made hosts file which is compilation of two lists and some manual additions (for correct blocking of admob). So I decided to share with my list. Use it if You want to. Please tell me if this forum is wrong for that list.

Nice one mate. You've just reminded me I needed to redo my hosts file after installing Modaco Froyo, and I might as well use yours as it'll be more up to date than mine.

ditto this, instructions for us noobies?
unzip the host file
than enter recovery
adb-windows shell mount /system
adb-windows shell mv /system/etc/hosts /sdcard/backuphost
adb push c:\hosts /system/etc
that should wrok if you unziped hosts.zip to c:\ and if something goes wrong you have your original hosts file backed up in /sdcard/backuphost
hope this helps
p.s. i didn't try this
did everything, and adfree is still not working in froyo...
Thanks anyway!

Great work, it worked a charm until I changed to a new rom, went to use it again and it was gone from the downloads in Rom Manager.
Big thanks.

You don't need to rename the zip file if you're using ROM Manager, but yes you should be able to install this through the manager.

Just a confused question;
If we have a rooted device, what's the reason for having to use the recovery menu? Can you not simply overwrite the file?
Thanks
Yea you can, provided you reboot into recovery and mount the system, then pull or push the device back into the system.
Either way you need to boot into recovery as there's no root method that fully allows read/write access for the Desire at the moment.

It should work like this. Unfortunatelly you can't mount system partition as read/write. That is because system is blocking this in some way.

Another quick one:
I used the zip file which people are using in the rom manager. I rebooted into clockwork and selected apply update from zip and selected the file. Appears I broke the system though lol .
Is this not the right way of doing it?
Also how do you type commands in the recovery? :S

Link dead ??!! "File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name."
If your /system partition is write protected like on the HTC One (M7) and you try to use an advertisement blocker like AdAway, you will encounter that changes to /system/etc/hosts are lost after reboot and ad blocking doesn't work. You have basically 3 methods to get around this:
A) Link /system/etc/hosts to a partition AdAway can write to
Install symlink_hosts_to_data.zip via your custom recovery (like CWM) to create a symbolic link from /system/etc/hosts to /data/data/hosts. Afterwards you can configure AdAway to use /data/data/hosts (as shown in attached screenshot) and it will work perfectly with updates and everything.
B) Flash the hosts file directly
Install adaway_hosts_2014-04-14.zip via recovery. Now you have the hosts file as AdAway created on April 14th 2014. Disadvantage: you would need to flash again for updates. Advantage: you don't need the AdAway app at all. Note: many custom ROMs include such a hosts file already in their distribution.
C) Make /system partition writable
Use this kernel extension or a custom ROM including it to have the /system partition writable all the time. AdAway will work out-of-the-box then.
If you like to restore original state after having flashed one of the recovery zips above, use the attached restore_original_hosts.zip
Mantelinho said:
The attached recovery flashable update.zip modifies your /system/etc/hosts file just like AdAway or Adblock Plus would. Useful if your /system partition is write protected like on the HTC One (and changes are lost after reboot).
You need
a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod on your device
the understanding that you will use this script at your own risk
You could also
make the /system partition writable via kernel patch and use the app
use a custom ROM which comes with an ad-blocking hosts file already
This uses the hosts list from AdAway as of June 17th 2013. All credits for this to AdAway and its contributors

Can you create a script which creates the symbolic link i.e. the approach recommended in AdAway help (S-ON/S-OFF)? That would allow the file to be updated by the app over time...

This makes sense if you want to keep using the app, thanks for the hint. I uploaded symlink_hosts_to_data.zip and updated the opening post. This will work also after having the other zip already applied.

Either the one dated (and you're fine) OR the symlink one if wanting to use AdAway configured to write to /data/data/hosts. The third file is only for restoring original state.

This should block all ads so far (at least it absolutely does for me). However the list of ad servers is actively maintained by hosts-file.net. If you should find an ad host not blocked you can post it there and it will find its way back to AdAway. To be always up-to-date I recommend using AdAway with the symlink method from OP.
Dunno why but it doesn't block ads on the goal.com app but for some reason no adblock app ever really did, strange!

Hey, just inquiring...
I've done the "flash host files directly" step, and playing Subway Surfers.
It would seem that ads are only blocked on that game when I have system set to RW...(I think...?...not 100% sure, but it would seem this way)
I was under the impression that it shouldn't matter because I'm flashing the host file directly?
Can anyone offer their thoughts please.

Yes, after flashing the hosts files directly no further steps should be necessary and ads be gone. Can you verify that ads also exist in other applications (or websites)? Maybe this is an issue with the app you are using, for example if it loads its apps from its own (unblocked) server.
Yeah, I think you're right about it perhaps being app related. I think maybe I need to monitor it a bit more closely and take random notes...
like sometimes I'm bombarded with advertisments any time I touch to advance or go back through menus...but just in that app...then I'll reboot...and sometimes it'll go a full day without ads...?
I also use a local news app which would normally advertise dating links, but those don't seem to appear...so it's definitely working.
All good though...thanks for answering that for me!
Much appreciated!!!

Thanks so much for this info Mantelinho, I had been looking for a solution. When using this 1st method, do I need to flash symlink_hosts_to_data.zip in recovery after every ROM flash? I.e., I'm dirty-flashing CyanogenMod nightlies every other day or so and I'm not sure if need to re-create the symlink after every flash.
edit: I have discovered I DO need to flash symlink_hosts_to_data.zip after every ROM flash.

I have a couple apps that need selinux permissive but attempting any past methods seems to throw an error during boot that the "android system has experienced an error and must be reset/wiped" (or something like that).
My last HTC One, M7 and M8 (m8 on marshmallow), I could just use init.d to enforce permissive. When I do it on my rooted, s-off htc 10, I get that error during bootup if I use init.d. If I run the script post boot up, the apps work fine however I need it to be permissive by default.
Is this due to the new security and encryption issues?
I see lee's ROM has permissive but his scripts would not work for me either.
Does anyone know how to get permissive working or provide a script to flash for those of us who need it?
Does system need to be RW for it to work? If so, is there a script for the 10 to do that as well?
Thank you!

I ended up using an app called init.d scripts support. Its available in the app store.
After installing it you create a folder with all of your scripts in it. You can then set in the app when you want the scripts to run...automatically, delayed, specific conditions, etc.
I just threw a permissive script in the folder and boom, working perfectly! Let me know if you need the script if you end up taking this route.

Here is a really straight foward sd-card incremental backup tool for all the crack flashers. This has been tested on the Pixel 2 XL in TWRP and Android extensively. It should works on most data media devices in TWRP with no issues. If the device also has a /storage/emulated/0 it should work in Android. Root is not required as far as I know, but recommended as it was tested with root. Also please make sure no file names have a * in them as it will fail the backup.
This has also been tested via Wireless ADB with ADB Wireless By Henry app on the Play Store. I have created and option to connect to it via wireless. All you need to is start the app and type the ip address given from the app. This function of the app will kill the adb server and start a new one on your giving ip address. If you want to continue working from the wired portion you will need to open a cmd prompt with adb access and type
Code:
adb kill-server
Or you can use the built in ADB menu.
All credits go to @Renate NST for the exe here. Also based on "ADBsync sdcard Backup" by @osm0sis, found here.

Adding W32 long path registry addition to copy long file name in Android instead of twrp. It will be a separate add-on that its to be imported into the registry once. Rename it from .txt to .reg and double click to import!

Thanks brother, it's working flawlessly over here.
So, to be clear here, you've added some menus to my existing one-click adbsync sdcard backup script?

One of your one-click scripts have been added. Thats why I tagged you. But if you would like I can remove it and I can just keep the Android side of it?

Right on man. I forgot how brilliant that OP full of scripts linked above really is. I highly recommend folks check it out if for no other reason but to see what prolific devs on XDA are churning out...
I guess everything works and no complaints lol

Working great for me thanks dude.
I am liking it.
If only there was a shell script version of this. :good:
I am NOT good at scripting in any language. I was too old when I started this computer stuff, and am competent in most things android. linux and dos/win, but scripting eludes me. I need a time machine to go back to my pre-teens when learning this is natural.
I am getting close to unlocking and rooting my P2XL and I can manually backup the sdcard before wiping, but boy this script would be wonderful.

I don't think it would work in a linux shell. The adb sync binary is a windows exe.

Ah, good point, thanks. I guess I could think more about wine or similar. I just feel no need to boot into my Win 7 partition except for some GIS programs, that is rare these days.
Pleased that there are linux choices for adb, andromeda, and Deuce flash / recovery script.

Ya, I'll bet wine would work. Report back if you try it.

Haven't dared to try restoring data yet!
Have you had any feedback on restoring?

I have used it but thats about as far as i know. Technically you could just hit copy and paste it there due to the incremental only works on the pull.

I actually have used copy and paste from the backup for specific files I needed.

All it uses is this to push it
adb push sdcard\0\ /storage/emulated/

One of the telegram users restored going back from 8.1 to 8.0 and was successful as downgrading requires a full wipe.
