HI,
what do I need to enable WIFI tehter on AT&T without subscription? Is unlock/root enough or do I need a completely different ROM?
Stephan
Root will do
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk 4
Yah can't wait for root this is prob the most useful reason to root in my book. What is everyone's fav free wifi tethering app?
Barnacle is old school, but works well, I usually just use the local built in protocol and just remove the check in

Just checked the links and they seem to be fine. Search "WiFi Tether for Root Users" in the Play Store.

Hey @qbking77, Could you put in your OP which method you used please? Moto or CF's Autoroot?
Thanks!
:edit: I need to add why I'm asking - We have had a report of Motochopper not letting an app that needs root function properly where CF's Autoroot does. Being that it's early in the game, people may want to know this. I understand that CF has a disclaimer using the autoroot method but it's still a viable solution with the numbers coming in on successful. I do not believe we have had a failed attempt on Sprint devices. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

Thanks for the video. I did get it to work though I ran into an error. It said that more than 1 deviced or emulator detected. I exited Bluestacks, pdanet and the Galaxy streaming server. After closing those programs, I ran the batch file and it was successful. I'm sure that bluestacks caused the issue. Just a warning for those using this program.
Any word on whether this works with the newest firmware update?

Hey dude,
Alright this is what you need to do:
I assume you're using At&t STOCK ROM (4.1.1)
1. Root Your phone (look in xda how to root it)
2. Download SQlite Editor from Play Store (it's a paid app but well worth it)
3. open SQlite Editor and Grant Superuser permission.
4. Now, you will see a list of all the apps installed in your phone
5. Scroll down until you find "SETTINGS STORAGE". The icon will be a wrench and a red hammer. click on it.
6. Now you will see "settings.db" click on it.
7. You'll see 3 items listed. Click on "settings"
8. now you'll see a list (an excel looking list). Find "ENTITLEMENT_CHECK" (line 57 for me)
9. you will see a 1 next to it. Change that "1" to "0" or "disabled" without the quotations. ( 0 worked for me)
10. Reboot.
11. Go into homescreen>settings>tethering&mobile hotspot
12. enable
13. ENJOY!

maybe not a video... but here is what you'll need to root it. It's called motochopper from Dan Rosenberg (djrbliss)
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/15208-root-motochopper-yet-another-android-root-exploit-412/
The Motochopper exploit is attached to this thread. It may be used as follows:
1. Download motochopper.zip (link above)
2. Extract the entire contents of the zip file.
3. If you are using Windows, ensure you have installed the latest Motorola USB drivers available for your phone.
4. Ensure USB Debugging mode is enabled on your device.
5. If you are using Windows, navigate to the extracted directory and execute "run.bat". If you are using Linux or OS X, navigate to the extracted directory in a terminal and execute "./run.sh".
As always, future OTA updates may remove the ability to regain root access, so proceed with caution when updating. Enjoy!

It seems that for carriers other than AT&T in addition to changing entitlement_check to 0 you also need to change dun_apn_changeable to 1 and add ",dun" to your APN type (or create a copy of it with ",dun" added).

Well I did the change to 1 on the Dan_apn_changeable but if I add dun to my APN type internet won't turn on. And if I remove the dun from it and turn on internet plus mobile hotspot it still will do the problem mentioned before. Any fix?

you likely need to change the device model in build.prop to trick it
Yes, that would work but without a backup or a custom recovery you are really playing with fire. Huge Risk
The app will also not work on a rooted device.

it's also super easy to use root explorer and create a copy of your build.prop.
and you guys have a test recovery for at least flashing zips. that's all you need right now honestly. take some risks. that's how you learn.

There's something in the firmware making it hard to keep root
Sent from my XT1254
That would be WP dude. WP is why we can perm-root our phones thru the OS and is why it disappears after a reboot (Though you can just re-root using the same KingRoot app as before.) I'm sure you know WP means we can write/install the necessary SU binaries to the system. WP is part of the "firmware" you mentioned.

Just to put it out there - you can use a root app (after rooting your phone ofc) to set SELinux to Permissive so it doesn't keep forcing your phone to reboot. I'm testing it on my phone now. Again it will still disappear after reboot but still a temp work-around.

There's no question he wasn't anywhere near perm root like he initially stated (or unintentionally led people to believe-to me it doesn't matter at this point), but at least he is looking around. A lot of the devs on year old devices like ours and the note 4 have given up. I really hope he discovers something. Dmverity (which I think is still the culprit) is a tough nut to crack.
@jcase will eventually look at the issue, but apparently bootloader unlock is the most likely way around wp. To me that says that wp too hardened at this point and the bl is the better angle of attack. That is both good and very scary. My comments are based upon what jcase has stated recently.
So let me ask this, if I temp root, install an adblock, and reboot, what happens? Clearly ill lose root but will the hosts file get overwritten?

To me temp-root is useless. I mean seriously, who wants to keep re-rooting and re-installing root apps after every reboot? I don't, that's for sure. Without write protection disabled you are going to be very limited in what you can do with any root method you use.
Oh, and I use AdGuard for blocking ads on my Droid Turbo. You don't need root for it to work and it works very well.
