I have a Motorola Atrix.
My country used to block Facebook, so I decided to add its ip to the /etc/hosts
file about 3 months ago and it worked in the browser, but the Facebook app did not.
Now my country has unblocked Facebook so I would like to clear my hosts file and use Facebook as normal. However, my phone cannot connect to Facebook normally even after I performed a factory reset. Other devices still work without the modified hosts file.
Also, if I add some test lines to the hosts file such as:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 test
then try to ping test
in a terminal emulator it returns unknown host
.
Is my hosts file being ignored? Did I miss something? I have OTA Root Keeper and it seemed to keep root after I did a factory reset. Did it keep something related to networks, too?
