Help s-off for adfree?

[rx93]

Hi all,

I tried below method to make the adfree host file to be downloaded.

From your computer with adb in DOS mode (adb-windows.exe for me) do this :
> adb-windows.exe shell
you should have now a # prompt
# mount /system
# mount /data
# cd /system/etc/
# mv hosts /data/data/
# ln -s /data/data/hosts hosts
# cd /
# umount /data
# umount /system

Now you can reboot your system from Clockworkmod recovery menu
Install ADFree from the market, and it should work.

However, Adfree still doesn't work on my Desire. Just wondering if S-Off is needed? Thanks.

its not needed
you can use symlink
adfree in leedroid worked fine for me before i had s-off

Thank you all.

Just an update: I S-Off my Desire last night and flash a new version of ROM. Now Adfree is fully working. It worked partially before S-Off (ad still showed in Astro File Manager but not in Angry Bird)

No symlink check box in the latest version of adfree.
