Adaway problems on Nexus 6 marshmallow - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've researched and tried every method to get AdAway to work. I uninstalled some system apps which allowed me to install it but I cannot get past that because of the S-off warning screen.
I am rooted and bootloader is unlocked. Ive attatched a screenshot of my kernel etc

Do you have a folder called init.d in system/etc?

I have installed Adaway on at least 6 different Marshmellow ROM's with no issue.
Switch ROM and Kernels and see what happens.
Just FYI, this is a development area. You will have more luck posting in the Q&A section.

You seem to be using system less root, that's probably the issue. In the adaway thread there is a zip that must be flashed if you're using system less root.
Also questions belong in the Q&A section not dev section. I've reported the thread, a mod should move it but just letting you know for next time.

What is system less root if i may ask? and ill look for that zip you mentioned
*update* installed that zip. attempted to install and get the same error about s-off

@trbomp5 Adaway working flawless on systemless (2.66) rooted stock rom, @ OP do you have busybox installed?

Clear all Adaway data in /settings/apps/ and try again. It should work fine as it does for me. What rom/kernel/recovery are you running?

I don't have an init.d folder as I run the stock kernel. There must be another problem.

I was facing the same problem, for every one trying to get adaway to work on android 6.0.1, follow these steps
Boot to TWRP recovery -> Mount system
adb shell
cd system
cd etc
rm hosts
ln -s /data/data/hosts /system/etc/hosts
In AdAway -> Settings -> hosts file to use is /data/data/hosts

Look in the stickies thread in general for how to root.
Usually what i do is:
Flash or boot into TWRP
Flash superuserSU
Install BusyBox
That's it as i use the stock rom, kernel and recovery. I just need root.

I think I lost busybox? (and possibly root as well)

Ok, so my problems began after I updated to the the HTC ADP 1.6 ROM. I figured after I got it installed, I would just run fix permissions and be off to the races. That didn't work because I kept getting the error "cp: not found" when attempting to copy the script to /system/bin from the sdcard.
On a possibly related note I couldn't load Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image either (currently using JF's v1.51) because of the error "flash_image: not found."
Doing some googling I found out that the function 'cp' was enabled by busybox. So I figured that maybe during the course of upgrading to 1.6 I lost busybox. I followed the directions here to reinstall:
http://benno.id.au/blog/2007/11/14/android-busybox
So in short, I'm about 1000% sure I messed up somewhere. The question is, at this point is it possible to fix what's wrong, or should I go through the steps to root my phone again? I'd like to avoid the latter if at all possible.
And at this point I'm not even sure that I have root anymore. I ran a script to reboot the phone (which requires su privies) so I guess I do.
Any and all help is appreciated.

ADP1 builds do not have busybox or a su binary installed. You can install them yourself if you need the functionality. The "rooted base" in this thread has an already setup Superuser.apk protected su if you are lazy (you'll still have to install busybox though). Also if you use tethering you'll need to replace the kernel.

I wasn't completely clear in the first post, I updated to the HTC ADP 1.6 with rooted base. I'm not sure if I eveb need busybox. That was just part of the attempt to install Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image using the below instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3915123
I kept getting a "flash_image: not found" error. I would just install the CM's new ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567610), but that's a no go since I can't get the recovery image loaded.
At this point I don't care anymore if I have to wipe. If I can get CM's recovery image loaded, I can go from there.

Actually, ADP1 builds *do* have "su", it is just limited to root and shell users (i.e., it'll work if you already have root privileges -- switch user to a RESTRICTED user to test file access permissions, or switch from shell to *any* user from adb).
Eff it. I'm going to totally downgrade and then root again using the sticky in this section. This just isn't worth the hassle.
Thank you to everyone that tried to help.

[GUIDE][SuperSU]Android Wear system-less root [2.79]

Follow this guide to flash SuperSU on the latest version of android wear for your watch, it should have the same OS compatibility as normal SuperSU and should work all the way upto android 7.1.1
(from PC)
1.Unlock the bootloader if not already unlocked
(Make sure to set up device with phone after unlocking bootloader otherwise no boot!)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
2.flash TWRP for your device (REQUIRES read only access to system!, will post working builds in post below)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
3.Download SuperSU with busybox YDS included HERE and move it to watch with adb push to /sdcard while TWRP is booted and then install as normal zip
Code:
adb push nameofzip.zip /sdcard/
4.IGNORE SYSTEM NOT INSTALLED Boot watch to system and Now your root apps from 5.1 should work perfect. THERE WILL BE NO SUPER SU APP, IT HAS NOT BEEN PORTED TO ANDROID WEAR
REMEMBER squashfs is read only even with root so don't bother trying to modify system files like the build.prop.
If you would like to modify system use any Linux distro and unsquash the system then resquash it (will make guide if enough interest)
If you would like to change pixel density perform this command in either adb shell or a terminal emulator:
Code:
wm density <dpi>
Please leave thanks if it helped!
Feel free to submit links to twrp for squashfs watch with model name, codename and original developer's name
Will add them to this post

In regards to Busybox on Rails, I compared the link provided and Google Play (which I assume is latest), they are the same versions. Is there a trustworthy place to find the old version suggested?
Not sure if I will need it, just covering my bases. Upgrading to 6.0.1 tonight.
Thanks.
First post and Thanks to you!!!
This is my first post in the community, i thank you all for all you do! I have successfully rooted lg g watch with android 6.0.1 build mec23d using your method. busy box pro installed after uninstalling superuser.

Unless I am missing something, system access is needed for the LG G Watch.

Huh I used a modified version of the latest TWRP from a member that allowed the system to be mounted read only as squashfs is a read only file system ie. The system image has to be rebuilt to make changes. I assumed that since supersu is now system less it those not require system access but maybe it those but I really didn't see the use of mounting it read only as it cannot make any changes to system. Will edit thread thanks for info. Link to squashfs twrp above
It is strange though the other poster managed to root without system access.

The third time I flashed to get the log, I attempted to mount /system as read only, since it didn't mount properly otherwise. The onscreen messages looked the same anyway...successful flash, but could not mount /system. And upon leaving TWRP, it warned that no OS was installed. Nothing different for all intents and purposes.
Thanks, I will try your TWRP and report back.
UPDATE:
Your TWRP made all the difference:
Code:

SuperSU is now system less if you haven't been following it recently so system access is not required also bits of supersu are stored in the kernel disk and others just at /data. Busybox is stored with the SU mounted image to /su/xbin once installed via the app

make system dir writeable

Hi, long story short, I want to make some apps system apps with Link2SD.
I tried using LO14 or some other LO14 based rom and just can't. I read som ewhere that it may be because I have no permissions to write on the system folder. I tried starting TWRP wizard again and setting it to be able to write with no success.
Any help?
I am rooted with magisk working just fine.

As I've seen, Some apps don't work well with other SU except for SuperSU. Get rooted using superSU, everything should work just fine. You can always Uninstall and go back to magisk once you're done.

It's better to follow the procedure you mentioned Uninstall magisk, install supersu then install magisk again... But only flashing superSU zip will also work I guess. You can give it a try. I've done it once I guess

Do this from terminal emulator (don't use GUI apps for things like this, they hide important errors most of the time):
Code:
$ su
# lsof /system
And watch for processes that hold the mountpoint.
Code:
# kill <that process id, one by one>
if you're sure they're not doing anything important, then try:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
again.
P.S.: you might need to install BusyBox, I don't know if lsof is available out of the box.

I've installed/flashed the latest stable Magisk version: v13.2. (Since version v13.1 I believe the bundled busybox included with Magisk was removed because it caused a lot of issues)

If you want to use it as a Magisk module, maybe you should install it from the Magisk Manager instead of flashing from TWRP.
Besides, I didn't catch your meaning. You mean the busybox app notice? Now that busybox is installed, you don't have to mind that notice.
Why are you guys trying to install to /su? Unless you're still on Magisk v12, you shouldn't be using SuperSU...

What method would that be? No, I'm not gonna go hunting for some random Youtuber...
If the aim is to get a functioning busybox up and running, the easiest way is to just install @osm0sis busybox module from the downloads section in the Manager. No other apps needed...
He installed busybox in system/xbin
He made a folder called "Viper4Android" in the "system/priv-app" folder and copied a Viper4Android APK in there
He set the permissions of said APK to -rw-r--r-- (I set to -rwxrwxrwx for good measure)
He went to "system/vendor/etc" ("system/etc" if it's not there) folder, made a copy of the "audio_effects.conf" file
He renamed the "audio_effects.conf" file in the etc folder to "audio_effects.conf.bak"
He pasted the original "audio_effects.conf" file back in the "etc" folder, so now he has a "audio_effects.conf" and a "audio_effects.conf.bak" file in the "etc" folder
He changed the permissions of the "audio_effects.conf" file to "-rw-r--r--"
He rebooted, opened V4A, installed drivers, then rebooted
Hope this helped.

That busybox module works perfectly for me.
And I'm using Magisk partly because it makes system modifications like V4A systemless. Therefore I would not follow those instructions...
I do have V4A working though, with this Magisk module and by utilising this workaround until the module has been updated. Nice and systemless...
The above mentioned workaround hasn't worked for everyone, but several other ways of getting it to work have been discussed in that thread.

Oh, okay. Can you at least tell me how much the BusyBox zip work for you? I tried installing it through Magisk and TWRP, but it gave some errors.

You'll need to provide some details for that... After flashing the module in TWRP, can you save the recovery log (Advanced - Copy log) and attach it to a post here.
And I forgot to say, but for the V4A module I linked, I don't even need busybox installed. YMMV...

Funny. It seemed to work this time. The last time I tried it literally said it failed.

Doesn't look like it succeeded when looking at the log...
What's the error message when you install through the Manager?

Using Link2SD on the R1HD?

Has anyone got Link2SD to work on the R1 HD? It always seems to give the error: mount script cannot be created "mount:No such file or directory" when trying to create mount script. Any ideas what going on.?

yes. the android toybox/ toolbox used by blu has been altered and the mount function is not working properly. Same issue some have had with adaway, and other mods. The solution should be to install busybox and fully symlink it to /sbin.
I have not done it but based on your reported error it should be the correct solution.
old disscussion about "mount" linked here.

Ok so what should be symlink then I thought busybox install took care of the symlinking. What's the command too? Also I'm trying to use Link2SD instead of the lovely Android m adoptive sdcard stuff basically keep sd as portable while using Link2SD so I can have my PC see the fat32 partition if i needed.

the symlinking is done from in the bustbox installer.
so, you still have problem with busybox installed?
not so sure what to try next. Ah, check in the list of installed links for busybox and see if "mount" is shown as installed.
you can try to install the "toybox" from V12. It is untested method and you would need to know how to undo if needed.
link to the twrp install of that file is in my earlier post.

Got it to work had to tell BusyBox installer to overwrite and symlink it apparently it's unchecked by default as its "not recommended to replace the systems version" :silly: go figure maybe under normal circumstances with a correctly functioning mount its bad but it fixed it stericson BusyBox installer did others weren't tested but I assume same result. But thanks for your help greatly appreciated it.
Just a note to anyone who comes across this thread if you use Titanium Backup at all don't use "BusyBox X" it seems to break T.B.'s ability to detect root this might be just magisk... or both SuperSU and magisk. but i had this happen with other devices some on SuperSU Some magisk but un-install "BusyBox X" (install any other busybox) and problem goes away not sure what direct cause is in "BusyBox X" might be because X is 1.26.1 and others are 1.27.1 ( ATM ) seems its always one version behind.

magisk is working well in the r1?

yes but because of the way we have to initially unlock/root the r1 it doesn't pass safety net with magisk unless android is not passing safety net again with magisk. but like i mentioned some things can break root "busy box X" with certain apps. also xposed framework systemless and normal seem to work well.
