## HTC-enheder

AdAway virker ikke når du bruger en enheder med S-ON. Denne 'feature' findes på mange HTC-enheder og gør at AdAway ikke kan skrive til hosts-filen.

## S-ON/S-OFF?

S-OFF betyder at NAND-delen af din enhed er ulåst og kan skrives til. Standard-indstillingen for HTC-enheder er S-ON, hvilket betyder at du hverken kan tilgå bestemte områder af filsystemet eller sikre dig en permanent root-adgang. Ydermere, signatur-tjek for dine firmware-images er også påvirket af S-ON.

## Har jeg S-ON eller S-OFF?

Boot into the Boot Menu on your device by holding down volume down button while pressing power and the text on top will show the flag status as either S-OFF or S-ON. A full root generally means S-OFF.

2. Use volume down to select recovery then power to boot it.
3. In clockwork recovery go to "partitions menu".
4. Select mount /system, mount /sdcard and mount /data.
5. Plug in your USB cord and open a command line on your pc.
6. Enter adb shell and type `ln -s /data/hosts /system/etc/hosts` (This creates a symbolic link, which allows AdAway to edit the hosts file stored in `/data` while allowing the OS to use the file as if it were stored in `/system`.)
7. Reboot your device and set Target hosts file to /data/hosts in AdAway's preferences.
8. AdAway skulle virke nu.
