# S-ON related help

## HTC-enheter

AdAway virker ikke når du bruker en enhet som har en såkalt S-ON. Denne "funksjonen" finnes på mange HTC-enheter og hindrer AdAway fra å skrive til vertsfilen.

## S-ON/S-OFF?

S-OFF betyr at NAND-området i enheten din er låst opp og at den kan bli skrevet til. Standardinnstillingen for HTC-enheter er S-ON, som betyr at du hverken kan få tilgang til bestemte områder i systemet eller å garantere for en permanent rooting. I tillegg er signatursjekker for systemoppdateringer også avhengige av S-ON-flagget.

## 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.

## Nødløsning

Prerequisite: You have to install a working Android SDK with ADB shell on your PC.

1. Boot into the Boot Menu on your device by holding down volume down button while pressing power.
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 burde virke nå.
