Is it possible to get Pdroid/OpenPdroid to work on HTC Velocity? I have been trying for a few hours and no dice. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Pdroid? Use a CM10 build I guess
Word around the mill is that root is not going to be achieved any time soon on 4.4 (VZW). I am hesitant because I use my phone for internet at my household. Can't lose the ability to wireless tether. I've seen some apps on the playstore that advertise wireless tethering without root, but I don't want to update and it end up not working. Has anyone tried these apps? If not, anyone who is on 4.4 willing to give it a try?
Much appreciated.

I'll do you one better.
I'm rooted on 4.4 and I cannot get tethering to work AT ALL.
They removed VZWEntitelmentServices.apk, so we can no longer bypass the stock tethering check.
FoxFi didn't work. Wireless tether for root users didn't work. None of the tethering apps I tried worked.
Tethering on 4.4 is going to be a problem, I can tell.
I saw a post that Foxfi didn't work on a VZW X with KK.
Now, maybe if the app developer updates it to be 4.4 compatible? But I don't use the product, so I don't know what the developer's plans are.

See -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47643576&postcount=34 that works for me (VZW DE with 4.4 rooted)
Subscribing... On VZW Dev Ed & waiting for tether to be fixed before upgrading.

I don't know if this would fix the issue as it creates the VZWEntitlementServices.apk but I had success with this on 4.2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443562 I haven't had a chance to upgrade to 4.4 to try it out but hopefully I'll be able to test it over the weekend.

How were you able to attain root? Am I out of the loop here? hahah. Are you on the Dev edition?

See the link I just posted. It works. NO FoxFi, no messing with the entitlementcheck.apks and such. Just be rooted, install the app and configure as thread says.

Would it be a no brainer question to ask if you are on a dev edition of moto x (rooted) All indications I see are that retail x has no root yet (if ever)

Only those with unlockable boot loader (VZW Developer Edition, or if your carrier allows boot loader unlock) can root with Kit Kat.

Sorry but it is not working for me. I have it setup like you said, and it looks like it tethers, but I am unable to see the SSID or connect.
Were you able to successfully tether something?
edit; Nvm, it does work, it just takes a really long time for the network to show up... like a few minutes.
I still would prefer native tethering, but this will work for now, ty!

Yes. My iPad Air, iPad 3, and my Bionic (without SIM).
Are you using the EXPERIMENTAL 3.4 version? because the other versions of the app did not work.
So there is no possible way unless you have root?
BTW there is a bounty thread for root,

Not that I am aware of. FoxFi was the only Non-root way on JB/4.2.2. But that currently doesn't work on KK/4.4.
Moving my own post to proper thread.
I tried to use it with the original configs but it wasn't working for me. Could anyone help me out on how to get it to work?

Hello folks,
I have tried Kingroot to root my T-mobile Note 4, but not luck.
My objective is symple: make this phone faster as it has slow down quite a bit, and improve battery, since it has reduced quite a bit too.
I want to root, debloat, and improve battery... with a Mac/Apple computer !!!
Help please ? Suggestions, pointers ?
Thank you very much.
Cheers.

I used the CF-Autoroot method from the General stickies.
Then use Titanium Backup to freeze all the unwanted apps.
Only thing I know that works on a Mac is Heimdall, but not sure if is still being updated & supported.
Thank you very much !
I should have wrote that I need help for Mac...
Thanks for the input. !
