Rooted phone, host file getting modified, blocks play store


Recommended Posts

I've been experiencing an issue with the Google play, store and the hosts file. This issue also affects gmail as well. Besides the localhost in the hosts file,there's another line that redirects google. The strange thing is that I am able to browse the web just fine, but when attempting to access the store and email I'm meeting with no connection. Is there any way to prevent the hosts file from being modified? I've already tried setting it to read only, apparently it's not helping.

What ad blocking app did you use? All I can suggest is using something like AdFree (which I've never had problems with), or contacting the developers of this app and warning them that it's falsely blocking things so they can update their definitions.

Adguard is what I use. I just ran a scan with kaspersky and it nothing.
