Root Keep having to edit the hosts file

Robfozz · Dec 4, 2014

Hi there, I've been having this problem where I keep having to edit my hosts file on my tablet becuase all Google services will stop working. Basically, I have to add a # infront of this "127.88.148.190 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com"and thats the only way for any Google applications to work, like the playstore and Youtube.
I dont know the technical reasons behind it, but it works. Anyway, my problem is that I have to do this ALL THE TIME and it gets incredibly annoying. Like after I fix it, maybe an hour or so later, I will have to go do it again because a copy will show up underneath the old one like this:
#127.88.148.190 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com
127.88.148.190 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com

Its really getting on my nerves and I dont know why its happening so frequently.
So what I would like to know is, how can I permanently solve this problem? If there is no permanent solution, is there anything I can do to make sure it doesnt happen often?
Im on a rooted Galaxy Tab 8.0 if that matters.

Also Im very sorry if this is a really dumb problem, I just couldn't find anything about it

Can I ask do you have a solid backup. Just extract good one and only edit what you need put in system and SET CORTECT PERMISSION . DO A REBOOT

Now if your rooted you should have a working backup. Look at the backup and see what it say without edit

How about power off tablet. Just hold down power button for 10-15 second or til screen go black then power tab into recovery mode . just wipe in this order cache and data . then reboot back into system

I moved your thread to its proper location to get better assistant and the best answer to help you repair your problem.

Yes I said to do this to power off the tablet. Once tablet is off now you need to power tablet into recovery mode . then proceed to wiping cache and data and power back into system

I don't know what your firmware is but this will wipe your root and put it back to factory without root without twrp

But put the firmware in the box on the right side mid-point of the page :cool:
