(Backup Files ADDED!) [How To] [MOD] Undo Webtop Mod [MOD] [How To]

For almost a full day I tried undoing the hack with adb shell in order to install the beta update. You must have your Atrix Rooted and have SuperUser Okay lets start.
1) Check if you have WebtopModBackup in /mmt/sdcard (if not then dl)
2) Download from the market Super Manager https://market.android.com/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.TaskManager
3) Open Super Manager and go to settings "Enable ROOT function" give SuperUser permission
4) Go back to Super Manager and click on "File Explorer"
5) Locate "WebtopModBackup" once in their you should see 6 files.
6) hold down on the first one (one by one) and select "rename"
7) Erase .bak from all 6 files
8) Check all six files and click "Copy" (its the 3 icon on the bottom looks like 2 papers on top of each other)
9) Once you do that click on "Back up level folder" 3 times (You should be on "/" section
10) Go down to System (folder) (it will ask you 3 options R/w, read only, and so on.. Select R/W then go to "app"
11) Under "apps" (/system/app) Paste the files you copied! The 5th icon on the bottom (looks like a clipboard)
12) You will notice "force close over and over" This is normal" All you have to do from here on is turn off the phone. Lock the phone and hold the power button and click on "shut off"
Your all done! download the update and enjoy.
Note: You will lose SuperUser and Root Acc

Mine failed
Edit: Wrong thread sorry

This is helpful.
After the update are we able to add the hack back in?

At this time their is no way to root. Sideloading still works tho.

This would help immensely if I had the original files. If someone could email me the apk files and the codex files, I'd be grateful.

Ok, I may not need the APKs but I do need the odex files if possible.

im just doing this. results to follow. I assume you meant .BAK and not .DAK

Thanks I replace it.

It all worked perfectly. Many thanks. I will try to put the mod back. I meant to copy the modded files before replacing them but forgot!

I tried to run the webtop mod again. Put the software on the phone but didn't install it.

The Mod wont work on the new update. Has this write up helped anyone?

I heard the new update is out. Is this true?

WebtopModBackup... Where do I get that if I didn't do any back ups?

After doing this i still had trouble doing the update. I hooked up the phone to see if the webtop mod still existed. Webtop didnt work but I also didnt get any notifications when connecting to hdmi, not even for the media center app. Has anyone confirmed hdmi still works?

webtopmodbackup isnt on my device is there anywhere i can DL this from

I also dont have webtopmodbackup, anywhere that I can DL it from?

anyone? i want to download the update and this is killing me

I can confirm the instructions work fine and I've successfully updated. Unfortunately, I performed the process before I realized anyone might be missing the files or I could have upped them for you all...

webtopmodbackup..if you dont have it..can be put on the phone if you just redo the webtop mod

Unable to launch webtop mode w/hdmi... Any ideas?

Super easy NOOB guide to enable tethering on Moto Droid ?

My uncle has the Droid 1, he lives in a different state and he wanted me to send him instructions on how to get the free wifi tethering. I typed up these instructions, Is this all he needs to do? :
--
1. Download Z4Root (I'd send him the APK)
2. Open it and click Perma-Root (tell him it takes a few minutes)
3. Download Superuser Permissions from Google Play (is it called Android Market still on the Droid 1?)
4. Open Superuser, let it do its thing (is this step necessary?)
5. Download Free WiFi Tether (attached APK)
6. Open, click the tethering icon, click "Allow" when superuser prompt pops up.
7. That's it! It will show up under "AndroidTether" on your computer's wifi connections.
To change the name or password-protect the WiFi, hit the Menu key and go into settings, "Change SSID" to change the name of the WiFi network, and tick "Enable WiFi Encryption" , then click "Change PassPhrase" to set a password.
To stop tethering, click the icon again, and again click "Allow" on the Superuser Permissions. This is the last time you'll have to do this, in the future it will allow it automatically.
---
Did I miss anything? Or is this fool-proof?

Use teamviewer
You are better off using teamviewer.
Send him the files that you'll need, and also the link to the teamviewer android app. Once he installs and runs it, you should be able to gain access to his phone and do the stuff for him. THat's much easier.

Enable tethering

The previous post on enabling tethering(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252149) kind of didn't work on ICS but here is a simpler method that will enable tethering! Both USB and WI-FI!
You should be rooted and make sure you have a root explorer(I RECOMMEND "ROOT EXPLORER")
open root explorer
go to system
mount r/w
look for a file called "build.prop". Back it up somewhere!
long touch and select "open in Text Editor"
locate these lines
ro.build.target_country=US
ro.build.target_operator=ATT
and change them to this
ro.build.target_country=EU
ro.build.target_operator=OPEN
save and quit! This just deactivated the authentication part that AT&T blessed us with!
don't forget to click thanks :good: and rate!
NB. if u brick your phone in the process, am not responsible!

I do this and get FC's when trying to go to Configure Hotspot after rebooting. Permissions and ownership correct on the file after editing and everything. Not sure how you got it working, I've tried everything to get tethering back! about to go back to a custom GB rom just for tethering functionality again

Have u tried clearing cache?? Does USB tethering work for u?

Sprint Nexus 6 Wifi Tethering *root* UPDATED WORKING

Has anyone got "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to work? I am able to toggle portable wifi tethering set it up and connect but will pull no data .
UPDATE
Got it to work after installing Sqlite editor from GPS.
Instructions: Open Sqlite editor navigate to data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db > click on Global > add string Setting.db addition of tether_dun_required value 0
Then open root explorer and open build.prop add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to bottom
Reboot=Profit

Have you also added the line
tether_dun_required
Value=0
To the settings database in data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases under the global tab

I'm going to try this for t mobile hope it works

It jas been mentioned before that tmobile users need to only modify the settings database. There is a thread that mentions these details 3 or 4 pages back...

doesn't the build.prop trick do the job as well?

For sprint device i did both with successful results.

For Sprint, I only added tether_dun_required, rebooted and it worked. This was after I factory reset, however. It didn't work before that for an unknown reason.

What app did you guys use to edit the database?

Sqlite editor. I can try and create a flashable zip that does the same thing sometime today so it's easier for everybody. I'd have to test it myself of course.

Thanks to everyone here!
Mods Can you move to General section please.

Hey all. Are you guys using the Nexus 6 from the GPS or from Sprint? I got mine from Sprint, rooted and added lines to setting.db and build.prop factory reset and still can't even toggle Portable Wifi without getting Tethering or Hotspot Error....
My next task is to flash the factory rom direct from dev.google

I am unable to Wi-FI tether even after doing both tether_dun_required and the net.tether.noprovisioning in the build.prop. Bought straight from GPS, so not sure what I am doing wrong :/
EDIT:
It was a typo by me, the actual string is "net.tethering.noprovisioning"... "tethering" not "tether" after fixing this, all works well. I'd advise anyone struggling to just give spelling another check.

Hey all,
So I had to edit the two files in a specific order. Here's what worked for me on a Sprint Nexus 6.
- Root device
- add the additional line for build.prop
- factory reset
- check to see if you can toggle WiFi tether/hotspot from settings [if so continue]
- add line value to settings.db
- soft reboot
Hope it works.

Just to share what worked for me. It wasn't working for me initially on a Sprint N6 either, but I really didn't want to factory reset. I was able to just recreate the steps you did but replacing the factory reset with a soft reboot and now it's working.
Since I had already made the changes unsuccessfully, I did have to delete then re-add the entries since it does seem to matter the order they were done.
**edit: welp, Nevermind. It worked a few times but now I'm back to seeing the error saying I may not be subscribed.
**edit #2: I had the letter t in "true" capitalized. Changed it to lower case, reboot and it's been working for two days!

For those that don't want to edit files (but don't mind spending a couple bucks)... I can confirm that "WiFi Tether Router" app is working as well.
Settings for the N6, as provided by the dev:
Interface wlan0
Method 2
Channel 1
Encryption wpa2-psk
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
Verify those, reboot, then open and enable (Root required for it to reset the radio).
*Edit: clarity

From what I could gather from the thread and personal trial and error, this is what worked for me.
1. Unlock
2. Root
3. Download root explorer and sqlite editor
4. Open sqlite editor
4.a - under the files tab navigate to "data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db/global"
4.b - click the + symbol to add a new entry
4.c - In name section put "tether_dun_required" all lower case exactly as it appears here.
4.d - In value section put "0" thats the number zero.
4.e - click save and exit program.
5 Open root explorer
5.a - Under the root tab browse to "/system"
5.b - long press on file "build.prop" choose "open in text editor" choose "yes" to remount as read-write and continue
5.c - add this as a new line to the bottom of the file "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" all lower case exactly as it appears here. Just 1 uppercase letter here can make it not work.
5.d - save and exit
6 Reboot
7 Native tethering should work now.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I missed anything. Typed this up on my Nexus 9 tethered from my Nexus 6. :laugh:

Thanks for this. Worked perfect for me.

This is what i did and worked for me and i only had to edit build.prop using the phone. I'm sure that it will work for everyone else. I'm also wondering if there is a way to edit/add the line we need for build.prop without having to root? something like "build.prop net.tethering.noprovisioning=True" in adb shell and it will add the line for us? hope someone can answer this for me please.
1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
4. Start an adb shell: adb shell
5. In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Edit the Build.Prop
6. Then open root explorer and open build.prop add net.tethering.noprovisioning=True to bottom

Thanks for the info. It works using Cricket sim

Easy fix after nothing worked
A lot of people are missing a simple trick.
It is well known to try clearing cache but most importantly the date and time is correct.
BUT you MUST have the date and time correct over your mobile network, not your wifi network, for it to be definitely correct.
SO switch off wifi and connect mobile data to get correct dat time set.

Use Google DNS address in PC ethernet settings , restart router.
Than in phone clear playstore data and cache,clear downlaod manager data and cache,
Restart phone
download any app from playstore, it will wont show any downloading status till 5 mins but will start automatically by then. good luck.

not helping
Guys, i have tried deleting hosts file , putting # in front of ip address and any other possible way available over internet but not able to access playstore or google apps by my wifi although I can access them using my cellular data. Why is this happenning:crying:
