From what I have seen it can be rather difficult to take the 4.4.2 update. I am rooted using the methods from jcase and am currently on 4.4 with the correct bootloaders for the update. I have been using xposed and I know I need to flash the xposed disable zip file, but how do I do that without having TWRP or CWM? I think I have done everything else needed to get take the update (removed superuser app and turned off all root permissions.)is there anything else that needs to be done besides disable xposed?
I'm using moto X under att contract, now the android version is 4.4.2
I recently rooted my device with the towel pie root, and it works fine on my phone
But when I tried to use the Xposed, here comes the problem. The xposed apk can be installed perfectly, but when I go in there and tried to install the frame work, it shows as the picture below
Please help me find out why, many thanks!
are you root.. maybe that is the problem...
give privileges of root in settings
Ive only found a couple of topics on this, one was for dev/unlocked tether on 4.4 and the other was for locked/unrooted thether on 4.4.4. so both just missing what i need.
what is the method, or is there one, for using the native tether on an unlocked Verizon Moto X?

If you are unlocked and rooted the easiest way is to install Xposed framework and Moto Tether module.
no i dont want to do that. easy isnt my primary concern. my primary concern is cleanliness so i would perfer a real mod.
i just read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/app-hotspot-entitlement-bypass-v1-1-5-9-t2705152
if im reading it correctly i can simply add "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to the build prop but im not yet sure if i read it right
FWIW, on the XT1049 (4.4.2) I tried it out by modifying these two properties in /system/build.prop under # ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES:
ro.mot.tether_dun_required=0
ro.tether.denied=false
...and then I added the line:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
This seemed to work in a quick test loading a webpage, but I haven't used it beyond that.

Correct. The Tool in that thread works for the XT1060 which is bootloader unlocked and rooted.
The other way is to use the wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk from https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
change device profile to galaxy nexus (cdma/lte)
check box: wifi-driver reload
check box: enabled routing fix
If you have troubles, its also suggested to...
check box: wifi-driver reload 2
I use the wifi-tether APK on my Dev Edtion XT1060 for Verizon (unlocked and rooted, running 4.4.4, it worked on 4.4.2 and 4.4 also)

I don't see those in the XT1060 build.prop.

I think the best method is to use Xposed Installer and the X Tether (Moto Tether) module. This allows you to use the stock Mobile Hotspot app without having to modify/replace it. As easy as this is to setup (install Xposed Installer, install the module, reboot and done) it's just as easy to revert it when the next update comes out (just disable the module and Xposed Installer).
Bonus....you now have Xposed Installer so you can grab other modules if you like (ie...Root Cloak, Gravitybox, etc..).

I agree and it is a snap to uninstall it. But for some reason, the OP doesn't want to do that - I am guessing it is a work phone maybe and he wants it to be less obvious?

Xposed does make changes to system, and some modules can caused reduced battery life.
Not everyone wants that.
Some just want to be simply stock, rooted and have the ability to tether. Xposed and its modules is extra stuff installed.
@TheWhiteChallenger
There are two "easy" and "light weight" options already posted in this thread. The app in the other thread that modifies the build.prop on the fly, and the wifi tether for root apk.
Or you can install Xposed and the Tether Module like the other suggested.

Xposed itself is a very small modification and doing the Tether module is near the same as using the modified stock tether app. I've tried both methods and the Xposed method is cleaner and much simpler. Add in the bonus of an extremely simple method to revert without the hassle of removing/renaming/restoring the stock tether app and it's near perfect.
With that done....you can be done. The added bonus is you do have the option of adding in additional modules if you like.

we'll have to agree to disagree here.
WiFi tether apk I use is a stand alone app, doesn't need to be undone to update, only runs when i launch it. etc. The app from the other thread just changes/updates the build.prop. It does nothing else. Nothing needs to be undone to update. No extra apps running, etc.
There are many options because one-size doesn't fit all.
ok...
first, can we plz stop the exposed debate be for it goes any further, those kind of answers are exactly the answers this thread was started to avoid. i appreciate the attempt to help but ur just ignoring the intent of the original question and further complicating the issue.
second,i found the solution: use build prop editor (or whatever u want to use) to add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true , delete VzwEntitlementService.apk and its .odex, done

I wouldn't delete them, just rename them. If you want to take a future OTA, you'll need to put them back.

Hello, I also have an unlocked (via sunshine) verizon moto x, currently running 4.4.2 and rooted with towelpie because I have never installed a custom rom and don't want to muck anything up. But if it's not too hard to install a custom rom I may try. Is this what you have done?
All I have done is ran sunshine and unlocked the bootloader, it's still on 4.4.2 and rooted with towelpie. Do I have write since I unlocked the boot or do I have to install a twrp to gain write? I am familiar with sqlite editer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor&hl=en
is this something like what you used to write the command to tether?
Thank you

a text editor or notepad type app can be used to edit build.prop. SQLite or such wont work.
In theory, using Sunshine to gain unlocked bootloader should grant write protection disable, however I'm not familure enough with it to be sure. This post -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45604505&postcount=33 should still work to allow you to check write protection status.
If you can undo TowelPieRoot (usually just rebooting, or at worst flashing system.img using mfastboot will work), you can easily flash TWRP and get a proper root and write protection disabled.
A custom rom is not needed to tether.
If you have root, and write protection disabled, two EASY ways to tether on Verizon are in Post #5 above...

Not familiar with towelpie, but if there is a way to undo the root, possibly by going to supersu and doing a full unroot, then you can regain root (with proper r/w to system) by flashing a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP and flashing the supersu.zip ( http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ )
I installed Xposed, and a module that thought (knock on) I think it was not compatible, to restart the device, it gives boot loop, clean the dalvik and it starts, if I reboot again, boot loop return. Any solution? :crying: my phone is a xperia z2

You have to uninstall the module to fix it. If you're on Kitkat then I think there should be a zip in Android/data/com.somexposedstuff and somewhere in there. Idk about lollipop

You're on your bootlooped phone? If so, just disable and uninstall the module that caused the bootloop. I really don't know how to do this on lolliop. Maybe posting in Xposed General? I t would be the appropriate location for this thread.

I had only excluded files containing "Xposed" in the name with Root Explorer, but remained the files described in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58964632&postcount=2258
Made as described, restarted, he updated one last time and went back to normal. Thanks for your help. : D
No problem. Remember to uninstall the incompatible application.

Ok call me stupid if you want but the thing is I deleted Google Download Manager from my Moto G Second Generation, thinking it was just a bloat-ware... The APK to re-install it is gone as well... (I got carried away with all that root power).
Now I can't use Google Play Store anymore... Didn't knew those two had a thing for each other...
I've searched for that open gapps project but apparently it don't have the download manager apk that I need... If I'm wrong pls advise!!!
Can anyone be kind enough to upload their apk somewhere so I don't need to flash my phone? Too many hours on installing **** already... I don't wanna do it again!!!
My Device is a Moto G Second Generation (2014) stock 5.0.2 Lollipop version, but rooted!
I appreciate already any help!!!

Although you kindly did everything I've asked for now I am into a new situation... I tried installing the APK you sent but, it says NOT INSTALLED after I click on install... I have root permission on my phone but I don't know how to give a root permission to open an APK file... Maybe using Root Explorer? maybe that's not the issue?

Try to move it with Root Explorer in /system/app. It may not install normally because the apk is not being installed in /system.
Don't forget to give the correct permissions on the apk.
