AdFree - Too Old Error

Im not sure how many of you guys use "AdFree" but it has been working fine on many of my devices for a long time.
This morning, I went to update the host list on my TF300 and I get an error that says " This copy of AdFree is too old, please update to a newer version."
You would think that would mean a new version in available in the Market...however I looked ...and no dice.
I also tried to uninstall and reinstall with no luck either.
Anyone else have this issue? Thanks.

I got the same error this morning on my GSM GNex. "Hit fatal error, this version is too old". In searching for the error, I ran across a post from last year when others started having the same problem. The work around then was to change the date to 2010. I did the same and Adfree would then update properly. When I reverted the date back to 2012, it was still broken. The phone is only a week old, but I uninstalled the app, redownloaded from Market and still have the problem. I figure if enough people have the problem, the developers will look into it again. In the meantime we have a work around. Cheers.

same problem on galaxy nexus with aokp-36 and optimus 2x with cm7-temasek-rc2-106

Yeah its not a device error as its doing it on my Samsung Galaxy S2

Multiple devices (3) with the error today. Either their update server or a programming bug. Not going to wase time checking again and again...

I found adaway to be a good alternative to adfree, not to mention it has a better user interface.

There was an update this morning and it's now working again.

Figured it out...There is a new version of Adfree with a new market link. You have to uninstall v.0.8.44 and install this one (v.0.8.45). Don't know why this was done, but it works for me.

[Q] Problem with Nexus S. PLEASE HELP.

Hi. I recieved a Nexus Phone as gift but i have some problems. I tryed to connect it to laptop but it say's the usb is not recognized. I read the other sugestions on the forum, i tryed them but nothing works. I instaled SDK Manager (no result), i tryed with One Click Stock (no result), USB driver for windows (no result). Everything i tryed acts like the phone is not there. I have windows 7 32 bits. The thing that made me even more confused it's that on the usb port in the device manager appears as Htcclay's and not as Nexus S. I will post a picture of the ''About phon'' with model number and everything maybe someone can help. Thank you and sorry for my english is not my primary language.

Odp: [Q] Problem with Nexus S. PLEASE HELP.
I'm on xda nexus s forums since april so I don't even recognize this rom you're using why don't you change your rom and see if the problem still exists. I guess it would all go away but I may be wrong

Hp Slate 7

What i know so far
Bootloader can be accessed with Rkflashkit by unplugging and powering off the device, holding volume-up and plugging it back in. Screen will remain black but you should see the device address appear in Rktool telling you it has powered up.
This method will work with Linux, idk if the tool is available for windows
I also found an alternative to the asian rooting method by using Rkflash to flash a rooted system.img(adb remains not fully rooted)
Every attemps i made at modifying the stock boot.img got me stuck in a bootloop.
We can also use Rkflash to flash recoveries but will need to disable the install-recovery.sh script first, otherwise stock recovery just gets flashed back on reboot.
My Cwm build did not work. Device did not seem to boot
I have not tried flashing kernel yet.
Python sent me a PM with a link to cwm builds for devices similar to ours and i tested some. Some of them does not seem to boot, some others get the screen to light up with no graphics. I did not make it halfway through the list yet, i will continue testing hoping to find one that works when i have more free time
He also pointed out we can use FlashGordon to flash recoveries from our device however they need to be in .zip format. I have tried and can confirm this works.
I will also try to upload my rooted system.img file somewhere later this week for those who seeks an alternative to the asian method
Rkflashkit can be found here https://github.com/linuxerwang/rkflashkit
FlashGordon clan be found on playstore

Stock rooted system.img can be found here in the img folder :
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/f3hbwjcwcog61t6/vBrb905Iy5
Also disabled the install-recovery.sh script

This if for a Hp Slate 7 2800 by the way

any news ???? i have asked on hp forums for the kernel source but no answer :/

well, not on my side i guess. i've been able to flash recoveries using rkflashtool, but i have not found one that works with the slate yet, i found some that boots without powering the screen, some that boots and lights a black screen, some others with a flickering white screen, some just doesn't boot at all. so far im trying to organize them and see what the booting builds have in common, maybe we could use them as a base or something.
Yesterday I realized I can't send or receive files by bluetooth, am I the only one with this problem?

I don't think Hp will release their sources to be honest, I already sent them an email about something similar and the only thing I got after a 3 months wait was a lot of spam from them in the junkbox asking me to buy a laptop, ink cartridges and stuff like that, so i guess we're on our own and should not expect any support from hp.

i will recive mine in 10 days so i cant do notthing yet and i dont know about BT
do you thing if we make a petition for the souce code it will make direrence ???

I don't know, depends on how many signatures we can get I guess. Still, I doubt Hp will do it.

but supposedly they have to because of GPL ... i think i will make a new thread on hp forums every day until they anwser lol

I think Gpl only applies to stock linux kernel, and since Hp modified it a bit they're not forced to publish it. It would speed up aftermarket development so much if they did though. This is my first Hp product and honestly, I regret buying it, not that the tablet isn't good, but the lack of infos and support, that makes me regret not spending 20 more bucks to get a Nexus 7

i havent recieved it yet but i got mine for 65gbp so it was cheap but im starting to regred it too because thera are no source
but i think they are violating gpl license... i read a bit on wikipedia about it so they are obligated to realease the kernel code ...
but one more time i dont have a complete sure about this

Any news?? I got mine yesterday .. I will try to make a working recovery

I read some guys on the Hp forums are running 4.2/4.3 but wifi was not working last time I checked, i did not see anything about Cwm. Did Hp release their source yet?

Your recovery didn't work for me buddy.
To disable /etc/install-recovery.sh i just commented some lines in it.
Cwm source is for some Samsung device I think, it would still need some modifications to get it working on the Slate, I guess, I might be wrong too as i'm still a noob into all this

Hello guys, here's another desperate soul that had bought this piece of hardware and can't let it do what I'm supposed it has to.
Last update (I received it yesterday) brought the tablet to version 1.05.10_user and the bug allowing the root access via cydia's impactor has been fixed. That's enough for me: this device needs to be studied and made free.

So first of I am assuming that you have already rooted the phone and actually if that's what you're concerned about I know that Sprint will allow you to reflash the firmware at their service centers rooted or not so if that's what you're concerned about I would just go ahead and do that also I did see that Kyocera has a zip of the jelly bean update you can download I'm going to try to work on an open recovery for our phone but haven't had a chance to do it yet but those are pretty much your auctions other than trying to go into the bootloader and flash the recovery update but I believe you have to do that through our phone anyway I hope this helps some good luck manwhen I first rooted my phone I uninstalled the basic launcher and the bloatware and when I did a factory reset I had to go into the place store and download a new launcher so if you can at least get into the Play Store then you may be able to rock and roll

[Q] Problem updating

Just got a Shield Tablet and already facing lots of problem. First, a lot of apps are "stopping". I can barely use it. ie. "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped". Second, I can't update through the system updates (SHIELD Tablet Software Upgrade 1.2 - Wifi) at settings. I've tried several times and I get an error. Can anyone help?

First are you change the run time to art, because some apps not work well whit art, and I think that whit a factory reset maybe it will solve yours problems.

No, I did not change runtime to ART. It's currently at Dalvik. I did reset it but no luck at all. When I try to update, I get "md5 integrity check failed." and when I install apps, I get " error 960" Also, it would sometimes reboot randomly.

Your best bet is to call nvidia tech support and contact them for a replacement.

Try to root wiht towelroot install supersu and install a custom recovery via fashify and flash the stock ROM version 1.1 maybe that work good luck

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to do this procedure so it's no good you have no problem to return the tablet to nvidia.
