Verizon tethering - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry but kinda in a time crunch...
I am needing to 'hack' wifi hotspot on my new N6.
I tried the build prop method without success. I am root and unlocked. Someone mentioned chroma to me but i dont see where it has the tethering work around..
Can anyone confirm this? Or suggest another ROM that is stocky that has tethering avalible
Thank you!

You could just add it to your account for the time you need it then remove it.

Chroma has it.

If the build.prop edit isn't working it is usually a typo. Works fine on every version of stock I have flashed. Working on mine as we speak. I used Root Explorer to edit. Most common typo was the keyboard trying to add a space after one of the periods.
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Market Fix for 8/1 Leak

Thanks to mrozzeh, we have a new leak. However, we also have a fingerprint issue again.
You can install this via clockwork; it is just a fingerprint change to the build.prop so all of your paid apps will be seen.
Once installed, dial this:
*#*#2432546#*#*
This will checkin and update your fingerprint with the market.
Now this is what I've been waiting for.
Thanks!
what is actually broken with the Market in this build? I am running it and have used the previous market fix, and have not had an fc or any issue downloading my apps?

Thank you. I will try this out
Just wondering, how come the market fix for the initial leaked OTA did not require the dialing of *#*#2432546#*#*?

it's not "required" it just manually makes your phone do the checkin process instead using an app download to do it.

Thank you it works perfectly ! But all I did is call the number and now I can see all my apps. Running the 8/1 full leak.
Hey OP I used your old one and that worked no issues...any reason for this new one? Did the old one cause any problems?

As it should. The only issue, is that your software and build numbers will not reflect properly when you look at 'about phone' 'software' etc...
Other than that, you should have no issues.

Its more of apps not showing up.
Interesting that someone had run the checkin and it worked without issue. Was that with the stock leak?
I wonder if the leak's fingerprint is in Google's system. Which is a very, very good thing if thats the case
adrynalyne = my hero
This worked, awesome, thanks!
Didn't work at all, Market is still as slow and unlikely to download apps. Do you want logcats?
Sent from my NeXT using XDA App
No.
Your issue has nada to do with what this addresses.
You can try
pm setInstallLocation 1
from adb.

How to enable tethering on stock?

Can anyone tell me how to enable tethering on stock? None of our roms are quite cutting it for me, but I want tethering.

Yeah, it doesn't work. None of the root tethering apps or the nonroot ones work. I want to know what the rom developers did so I can try to repeat that by editing my system.

With computer Freeks roms, tethering is included. You don't need an app. What are you on right now - stock with locked bootloader, or custom ROM? What version of android?
im on stock 5.1 with root/unlocked bootloader

Alright thanks
Wi-fi tethering works on all the custom ROMs like CM and Resurrection Remix. Built in, you just need to turn it on.
There is now a major gap in the app market for a free tethering app
I used to use barnacle. It was great. But since the release of Lollipop on the latest phones (from 2014 onwards) barnacle and apps like it that used ad hoc beacons that were compatible with Android 4.2.2 and earlier versions are no longer compatible with the latest Android versions. Its a shame. I too am constantly on the lookout hoping for one that comes up.

I may have that somewhere, also have the Stock Boost Mobile VVM.apk if anyone interested.. OH! I ALSO have a real old one from KitKat (Boost Mobile) that still works on custom ROMs but haven't tried it on the Moto's yet. Just install like a normal app..

For kicks & giggles, try this one until I get the new one pulled and uploaded. Please lemme know if it worked cuz I'm still on Stock OS atm, working with some stuff for the future custom ROMs. Just install like a normal app cuz I could never get it to work when flashed to system. BTW, an advantage of an older VVM.apk is the lack of payment requests..

Hey, thanks for still trying! Unfortunately it dies the same thing as the one I pulled from my device before putting a Rom on here. Server and verification issues.
Update, about 10 minutes after I installed, I got an update and it installed a new version. I called myself from another phone number and left a voicemail and it did come through on the app! The only downside is that it sends an annoying text every time you get a voicemail. But it's always from the same number, so I blocked it. Thank you very much!

Not a problem, glad it settled in. I'm working on some stuff and will try to do the flashable sometime soon. The oddball thing is that it resides in the OEM partition and flashing to them is a bit new for many of us. But like I said, seems to be (or very close to) Project Treble capable (that's a good thing for potential future OS updates)
OK.. Here's try #2. Flashable, plz lemme know. This flashes to the OEM partition but may need to go to System. If so, lemme know and I'll remake it:
Sprint Moto E4 VVM (OEM)
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850503637
Edit: Try #3, Lol.. Went ahead and made one flashable to System as well:

So the only thing working on a custom at this time is the regular .apk (non flashables) install?

{ROM} GSI Lineage OS For Our Redmi 6!

Hi There Everyone!​First a brief: I've been a longtime XDA user, but never found the need to create an account. Now, I bought a Redmi 6 and I'm really disappointed by the development:crying:, so I thought i'd chip in a bit I don't have permission yet, so I posted this here.
As you know, till now there are NO Custom ROM's available. This is really sad, and I can't live with MIUI. So I decided to give GSI (Generic System Image) ROM's a try.
And guess what? They work! I tried installing Lineage OS 15.1 on our cereus. The rom is really fast and smooth. Here's what I found:
Working:
Wifi
Bt
Camera
Vibration
Sound
Finger Print
Bugs:
SIM detected, but no range found. RIP calls/sms/data. Looks like a problem with the raido's.
Headphones don't work
I couldn't test hotspot and gps.
Even though there is a bad bug, it still works surprisingly on this MediaTek SoC with no drivers / kernels. All we need is a little paching and we should be good to go!
Give it a try. Ill post guide on how to do this later. For now, i'm using miui cuz i wanna make phone calls

What about finger print reader?

I know, and I've read through all that. They are all buried inside TWRP threads, and not everyone knows about GSI. I made this so people know, and I'm also going to make an other thread with instructions on how to flash a GSI rom for our Redmi 6 soon (It's a little tricky getting TWRp to work and all...)

I meant to say good job about putting this all together. Nice.
I just randomly remembered when i was trying this ROM some time ago. Headphones doesn't work.
(Adding this to post would be ideal)
Edit: It could also be the Pixel Experience ROM. But i don't remember.

All i tried was LOS and Pixel Eperience. Both are same, except PE has Android 9.0. I tried treble RR, it had really cool logo while booting, and i was really excited for RR because i never tried it. But i never made it to boot. Boot logo is looping infinitely and i tried fresh installing (With MiFlash clear) about 10 times.
Edit: Maybe if you would want to, you can give it a try https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...0-resurrection-remix-v7-0-arm64-32-b-t3891636
Edit: I didn't understand most of it, but i could start adb logcat while booting. From all i could understand, all apps were dying and restarting all over.

Yep, only USSD is broken by default. See 11) on screenshot.
Calls/sms works out of box.
Don't know about volte since my carrier doesn't support it.

Seems that mtk ussd fix breaks something on other phones. So, this is flag to enable it.
------
Ahh, you mean how to append?
Open /system/build.prop file with text editor that has root access, add line to end, save file, reboot.
Or you can do this via adb/terminal emulator:
1) su
2) echo persist.sys.radio.ussd.fix=true >> /system/build.prop

Oh my bad. By the way I'm going to install this rom and I'll see if that line fixes ussd. Then we'll have a probably fully functional rom for the redmi 6. ****ing finally. It's about time.
