Since host file is a system file
You need to root your phone and then use root explorer > mount R/W > open with text editor
May i know what actually you want to do ?

  • How to access host files?

    how to access host files?

    Easy and not depends on your software version:
    press Shift+cmd+G while your finder window is open and active, you will get a new window with the field where you can write /etc/hosts
    Anyway to edit hosts file you should open it with the sudo command, this can be done in terminal window, not in Finder. Also easy and can be done next way:
    press Shift+Cmd+U while Finder window is open and active, then choose Terminal.app, and after it opens enter sudo nano /etc/hosts. You will be asked for password - this is the password you enter then you installing new application. You should know few commands to edit your hosts file:
    Previoius page/Next Page of the file - Ctrl+Y/Ctrl+V
    Add record - Input the text you need on the last free line of the file and then press Ctrl+O
    Delete record - put cursor on the line you want to delete and press Ctrl+K
    Undo - Ctrl+U
    Exit - Ctrl+X
    After edit your hosts file you should update DNS records - in terminal window enter the command dscacheutil -flushcache
    But if you really don't know what are you doing, my advice is do not touch your hosts file, ask for professional to do his job. Just like I'm doing usually. )))

  • How to edit a file

    Ok I probably realise that I've missed something in the literature on installing arch somewhere along the way, but I've spent the last 3 hours trying to find how get past this stage to no avail.
    I've managed to realise I have a dhcp connection.
    For DHCP IP
    For this option, you need the dhcpcd package (already available on most installations). To make use of it, edit /etc/rc.conf like this:
    eth0="dhcp"
    INTERFACES=(eth0)
    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    but when i type "edit /etc/rc.conf" I get a colon
    I presume I'm in some kind of editor, but I can't see what I'm supposed to change and what commands to use inside the editor.
    Any help gratefully received

    bzzzz Arch is for competent Linux users - not knowing how to edit a file suggests that you do not fall into this category. If you wish to persevere and use Arch as a learning tool, then you need to be aware that you will be required to do most of the work yourself.

    how to edit xml file particular value. and how to send xml file over ip address 192.168.2.10 device using ftp through Ethernet

    Hello
    For using FTP function in LabVIEW, I recommend you to check this document: FTP Basics
    Also, take a look at FTP Browser.vi, which is available at the Example Finder.
    To edit a XML file, try to use VIs in XML palette. Maybe Write to XML.vi helps you.
    Post your current VI if possible.

  • How to edit *.folio files in Folio builder

    Hi,
    I have list of .folio files and I want to edit those files and copy the text from the .folio fiile.
    Can any tell me how to edit .folio files. 
    Is it possible to edit the .folio files in Folio panel. Or if any other application can able to open the .folio files, please guide me on this.
    Thanks,
    Krish

    You could, but you won't get what you want.
    The .folio file simply contains flattened images/pdfs of the page. So thus, you can't copy the text as though it's XML or part of some sort of word document. I suppose you might be able to try to copy and paste the text off of the PDF, if it's a PDF folio. But.. yick.
    From folio builder, preview the folio on your machine using the desktop Content Ciewer. (Or Export it via Folio Producer after publishing it privately.)
    On your mac, then navigate to \Users\{username}\Library\Application Support\com.adobe.dmp.contentviewer\Local Store\FolioCache\{Folio Name}\{Article Name}\StackResources.
    This should get you to the PDF files for each article.

  • Unable to edit Hosts file in Win7 Home Prem 64bit.

    Clean install.  Administrator account.  Unable to edit the permissions of the hosts file. There is one in the drivers\etc file, which I cannot edit. There is supposed to be one in %systemroot% \SysWOW64\drivers\etc   but there is no etc folder in the drivers folder.
     Turned off DNS Server. gpedit.msc not found when calling it in "run".  This is the first time I've used 64bit anything, so a bit of a newb in that respect. 
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    As you would know, some of the Windows 7 users can’t save the host file how they like it. The host file itself will simply vanish what the user had done with it.
    In my scenario, I was unable to fix this even after all the instructions provided in above posts. Hence, I have come up with my own idea and luckily it
    worked.<o:p></o:p>
    For those users who experience this problem, here are the instructions to fix it.
    First of all, you should have the administrative privileges to edit the host file. In normal case, if an admin user directly go to the host file in system 32 and add his preferences
    and then save it, it should keep the changes. However, in some wicked scenarios, it will not. I had done a detailed research on this through all the available online forums and even contacted Microsoft several times with no luck.
    So, here you go with a correct solution for this problem.
    Note: If you are not comfortable with Windows OS and don’t know what you are doing, this process can mess up things.
    Hence, do not attempt if you are not 100% sure you can make it.
    Login to an administrator account.
    In the run command (Windows key + R) type, “control folders” and hit enter.
    Click on the tab called view.
    Select the radio button for Show hidden files, folders and drivers –ON.
    Uncheck the ‘Hide extension for known file types-ON
    Click on Apply and then OK.
    Type “drivers” in run command and hit enter. It will take you to where the folder “drivers” located in System 32.
    From the “drivers” folder, double click the folder named “etc.”
    Now you can see the “host” file along with others.
    Now, in the search area in start menu, type “notepad.exe” and open the notepad.exe as administrator. (In order to do this, you can right click on the notepad.exe shown and select
    “Run as Administrator.” If UAC prompted, click YES/OK)
    Now, you will have a notepad open with administrative privileges.
    At the top left side of the notepad click on “file” and then select “Open.”
    A box will appear which will allow you select the file to open. Carefully, navigate to the location where the “host” file is located. To do that, select the drive where you
    installed Windows. If you have the Windows installed in C: select ‘Local Disk (C :)’ > Windows > System 32 > drivers > etc. At this point, you might not have another option to proceed or select from. The window would be empty. To proceed further,
    select the option “All files” from the drop down menu which is located above the “Open” and “Cancel” button. You can now see all the files located in etc folder.
    Select “hosts” from the menu and click on “Open.” Note: You can either click on open or double click on the file.
    Now, you will have the host file information open in the notepad which you had already initiated before with administrative privileges.
    Make whatever changes you as you wish. (Example: If you need to block a web site called
    www.block123.com you can type 127.0.0.1
    www.block123.com right under the local hosts.
    Make sure you do not change any other letters or characters which are already saved in host file.
    This will completely mess up your computer. For more information on the information about host file, refer the Microsoft web site:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034 . If you
    have accidently delete/edit anything from host file, please delete the complete information stored in host file and copy and paste the host file information from Microsoft which is appropriate for your Operating System.)
    Click on “file” again and select “Save as” and save it in etc. If the path is showing correct to etc folder, save it to etc. If it is navigated to somewhere else, follow the
    instructions provided above and select etc folder and then save it.
    Now, go back to the actual host file location which is in System32 > Drivers > etc (You would have it already open if you had followed the instructions just like the way
    I have provided)
    There you can see 2 host files. One which has already been there and the other one you just saved.
    Among the two, one is called “hosts” and the ‘type’ would be ‘file.’ This is the original host file. The other which you have just saved will be named as “hosts.txt” with the
    file type as ‘Text Document.’
    Right click on the original host file and select rename. You can even click on that file and press F2. This will enable the option to rename the file. Rename the original host
    file as “hostold” and hit enter.
    Now, select the second host file which we have saved as a text document and rename it as “hosts.” Make sure that you DELETE the .txt file extension in order to change the type
    “Text Document” to “File” and hit enter.
    Now, you have successfully saved the host file with your preferences.
    You can now delete the file which we renamed as “hostold.”
    We are done. You would need to do this process all over if you need to edit the host file again. I know it is difficult, however, it is our own requirement and we have to invest
    few minutes on this.
    Enjoy your computer with a great feeling that you have finally edited the host file as per your wish and take it from here. Wish you luck.
    Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Lightroom won't ask how to edit a file when I select "edit in Photoshop CS6"

    Yesterday Lightroom suddenly stopped asking how I want the file edited when I select "edit in Photoshop".  I opens the file directly in Photoshop without asking do I want to "edit with Lightroom changes", "edit a copy", or "edit original".
    I've tried finding a setting to turn this on or off and found nothing.  I've tried shutting down.  I've even tried removing and reloading both Photoshop and Lightroom.  As far as I can tell it has defaulted to always opening with LR edits.
    I'm using Lightroom 5.3 and Photoshop CS6 extended version 13.0. I ran updates on both after reloading yesterday.  I'm using the Mac versions of the software.
    Please help!

    Is it possible that you've switched to using Raw (or DNG) files? There is a different process when using a Raw file versus using a rendered file such as Jpeg, Tiff, PSD....and it's only the latter file-types which will prompt the "Edit a copy, Edit original, etc" question. If the ACR levels are compatible (which they will be if your ACR plug-in for PS CS6 is up-to-date) then there will be NO question when using "Edit In...." on a Raw/DNG file, the file is rendered automatically in the background by Photoshop's ACR plug-in, when you then "Save" in PS the now-rendered file (Tiff or PSD, depending on your external editing preference setting) will appear back in Lightroom.

  • How to Edit PSD Files In Flash Template

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to flash and I am trying to create my first flash site using a template that I have downloaded. I can edit the first page fine, but when I click the "about us" or any other section, the standard template text, Which isn't even in english, appears. I believe that these are psd files, and I have tried to edit them, saved and replaced file on my computer, but still I get the same unchanged text on this site when I preview. Could someone please tell me how to edit and replace these files within the flash movie?

    Instance names are the reference names that you give to the individual items on the stage. Only movieClip and button symbols can have instance names.
    When you import a photoshop file to Flash you will get individual bitmap objects on the stage and in a folder in the movie's Library. You will need to select each item, one at a time, on the stage and convert each one to a symbol. When you make that conversion the name that you give to that new movieClip or button is the name that you will see in the Library.
    When you select that new symbol on the stage, look at the Properties window. You will now see a space at the top where you can give that item an instance name. The instance name is what you will use in Actionscript to control that object on the stage.
    When you look in the movie's Library, you will see the original bitmap and the symbol that you created that contains that bitmap.
    Does that help?

  • How to edit PSD files on Photoshop Creative Cloud

    Hi there,
    I am new to Creative Cloud and just downloaded the Photoshop App to my desktop. However, I can't seem to find the options where I can edit my psd files. Can someone please help me? I would like to know how I can start editing PSD files on the Photoshop Creative Cloud App.
    Thank you so much!

    HI Resumeboston16,
    Which version of Photoshop are you using? Photoshop CC?
    You'll probably still want to save you PSD files locally to the computers hard drive. You can upload them to the Creative Cloud files page here https://creative.adobe.com/files through the browser.
    Then you could download it on another computer to work on it there.

  • Need help on How to edit RDF file to  see fields

    Hi all ,
    Thank you all for being helping
    could please someone explain where and how to edit the RDF file to view the code and fields, sometimes we need extra fields to add in the RTF templates.
    And if I get XML file from EBS, on top of the page of xml file tags says <RAXINV>
    how can i able to see this RAXINV short name in EBS on particular application to view fields and other info reg report,that way I can see columns and tablenames by using Help- ->record history, and Diagonise that particular report.
    any help please
    vasu

    Hi Srinuk, I'm not sure what you mean?
    An EBS report (RDF) "root" tag will always start with the "module" name in the property pallete of the report itself. Your XML tags and nestings are a direct result of your data model groupings combined with whatever your layout is defined as?
    Looking at a record history within EBS only tells you what table the form is looking at and I can't see what this has to do with an EBS report definition unless I'm missing something in your question.
    You need to open the RDF to getting the data model to understand the XML tags.

  • How to change host file?

    Hi guys,
    I would like to install 9iAS 9.0.2 Oracle Portal on my XP machine.
    Problem:
    My host like this:
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    AND my computername contains an UNDERSCORE.
    How can I change the hosts file? And how must it look like? I have no fix IP Adress at the moment.
    Thank you for help.
    cheers,
    Bernd

    in short...
    You'll need a static IP address
    your host file will look like
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    10.1.1.10 www.server.com www
    where 10.1.1.10 is your static IP, and the www.server.com is the name for which you want to access your portal site.

  • Problem editing hosts file in Snow Leopard

    I am having trouble editing my hosts file in Snow Leopard. Well, I can edit it fine, but the changes seem to give no effect whatsoever.
    My hosts file looks like so:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1 localhost
    fe80::1%lo0 localhost
    127.0.0.1 localhost www.localhost.com
    I cannot access localhost by entering '127.0.0.1' into my browser, nor can I access it by entering 'www.localhost.com'.
    Firefox simply tells me either 'Unable to Connect' or 'The Connection was reset', respectively.
    Is there something I am doing wrong?? I have been looking all over the internet all week and cannot see what I might be missing!
    The only way I can connect to localhost is by visiting 'http://localhost:8888/'.
    If it helps, I am running MAMP.
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Never mind, I found out MAMP was using port 8888 instead of 80, so I reset it and now it works fine
