Droid Ultra/Mini/Maxx SU6-7.2/3 [4.4.4] (Temerary)Tethering Method

In this method you will be able to activate your tethering hotspot only for a temporary period of time. First hotspot activate will work fine but once you turn it off you will be prompted with the entitlement check when you try to reactivate the hotspot. You will need to repeat the process again in order to bypass the entitlement check. So with that in mind lets begin.
(I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIZONS GETTING UPSET FOR YOU USING THIS FREE HOTSPOT!!!!)
In other words try to keep this method under VERIZONS knowledge and you should be fine.
Requirements:
You will need to have done CrashXXL`s root method to have a rooted Droid.
Then once you have a rooted device download SQlite editor which can be purchased on the Gioogle Playstore.
(NOTE: i will not post any download links for SQlite Editor due to XDA rules.)
Step1: Open Rsqlite editor then go to apps then Settings storage with the two tools icon. Now from there go to settings.db . Now go to secure and you`ll see a list of words and ids as well as value columns.
Step2: Change these exact values to the values listed below.
-dun_nat_enabled= enabled
-tether_reverse_nat_enabled= enabled
-entitlement_check= 0
-USB_entitlement_check= 0
-Network_settings_on_boot= 1
-APN_CHECK_STATE= 1
APN check state is the most important.
Step3: Once the values are changed reboot your device and you will be able to use the hotspot once then once you deactivate the hotspot itll check for entitlement check. So for now this is a temperary Hotspot method! Enjoy

Easier method
This is only my first post, and I know that I might be missing something important, but there is an easier method to activate tethering for this device and firmware. While the xt1080 is not supported officially by kingroot, the app will grant temporary and limited root permissions (no /system access). This is enough to get the entitlement bypass app working on the device. I have attached the apks for the entitlement bypass and kingroot apps below. You can download the latest version of Kingroot from the official website. The entitlement bypass app will only run successfully once the device has been temporarily rooted by kingroot. While the root will not last, the bypass of the entitlement check for the tethering hotspot should remain in effect, until the next reboot. You should be able to use the hotspot without any problems until that point, at which time you will have to rerun the Kingroot app. This method has worked for me for months. I am on an xt1080 Droid Maxx running 4.4.4 SU6-7.2. Nothing else is required for this method. Although, the initial root may require a restart/retry or two. I hope this helps.

I've spent a lengthy period of time trying to get tethering to work on a broken screen MAXX, because I refuse to finance a new phone to Verizon. This entitlement app worked perfectly. So I am not able to tether the connection to a prepaid phone and forward my calls to the prepaid device and use my TWC Phone2go.
Thank you

Wifi won't authenticate after unlocking and installing cm13

Hi all,
After unlocking my phone which is a global version 64gb model, I had installed CM13. Wifi was working fine previously. After CM was installed I cannot get wifi to connect. It will show authentication failed and obtaining ip but won't obtain. It shows its mac address and scans wifi just fine. I can run wifi analyzers but it just won't connect. I have tried installing other roms, even installing the original roms and re-locking the device to stock with no success. I have reset my router and verified other devices can connect as well as trying other open wifi ssid's. I have also completely formating the whole phone and reinstalled roms from scratch, again no success. I have been searching through forums for about 2 weeks now and every recommendation has not worked. I love this phone but not having wifi is killing me. I am experiencing no other issues. One clue I do have which google is not providing answers to is the error i got when CM first installed and other times which i can't determine the scenarios to recreate which is
E:Unable to write to ums lunfile '/sys/module/g_android/parameters/file'
Unable to locate storage device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Much

I have the same problem. I've installed CM 21.11 and gaaps stock via TWRP 3.0.2.0 and after this wi-fi can't authenticate. I did the same steps as topic starter and also tried different wi-fi settings in router and wi-fi without pass. Nothing helped
Please help! Any thoughts can be helpful.

I have exactly same issue as OP. I did everything like him and got no result.
Please help someone. I love my MI5 but i need wifi.

I have exactly the same issue and posted about it just a little earlier
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/help/wifi-connectivity-problem-t3517777
The difference being that the WiFi was working just fine even when I installed CM 13.1 for the first time. WiFi stopped to connect when I did a full Swipe in TWRP (all partitions).
It would be great if someone could help...

Try to give a chance to CM14.1 installed after a full wipe, I am using WiFi every day with wpa2 shared key and also radius auth 2.4 and. 5 GHz without problems and the overall performances are good

I have CM 14.1 at the moment and the problem is the same.
I'm no specialist but it doesn't seems to be a ROM related issue.

In this case I would try with stock MIUI after a full format and wipe, then in case of success again with CM14.1. Format is important because with encrypted data wipe isn't enough

Thanks for your assistance.
Done that but didn't solve the issue...

I had the same problem, same symptoms.
I too flashed a new ROM and couldn't connect to any AP, I tried various ROMS, MIUI 7 & 8 and CM 13 & 14.1.
Though I think I found a solution (it worked for me ). I simply changed my MAC-adress and I was able to connect to my home WiFi.
I'm running CM 14.1-2016225-NIGHTLY-gemini on MI5.
This is what I did to fix my WiFi:
First prepare an new MAC-address. I personally don't know when a MAC-address is considered valid, so I just took one from an other device. I used the mac address of my previous mobile phone, which could connect to my router.
1. Disable WiFi.
3. Enable debugger settings (Setting>about Phone>Press build number repeatedly).
2. Enable root (Develepor settings>root access set to "Apps and ADB").
3. Open the file manager app.
4. Give the file manager app root access (menu>Settings(cog in lower left corner)>General settings>Access mode set this on "Root Access mode").
5. Now find the file root/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/ and open wlan_mac.bin.
You should see something similar to:
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX
Intf1MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX
END
6. Change the first to your new MAC-address, but first write down the old one, so you can change it back if this method doesn't work for you.
The last X of the next line should be a digit higher than the previous line. E.g:
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=957FDC328BF[B]4[/B]
Intf1MacAddress=957FDC328BF[B]5[/B]
END
(This MAC-address most likely won't work).
7. Save the file. You might need to press the save button a few times.
8. Check if the file has changed.
9. Check if you MAC-address has changed (Settings>WiFI>Configure-WIFI(cog in right upper corner)).
10. Enable WiFi.
I hope this works for everyone that has the same problem.

I'm on MIUI EU 8.1.70 Nougat then i fastboot flash or recovery mode to MIUI Global 8.1.2.0 Marshmallow WIFI NOT WORK
But,
I managed to get the wifi working again with edl mode flashing with MIUI Global 8.1.20.
I will try to move to CM again, maybe this time wifi will work..
Wish me luck, will post the result later
RESULT:
Not Worked.

This method work, thanks a lot.
But, for me it's required a valid MAC-address

Pekkuky!
Thank you for your time sharing your knowledge on this topics many days old.
Awesome! You made my day. It work.
I just want to add my experience that might be useful for others.
I tried with a automatically generated MAC and it didn't work.
I followed your advice and repeated with a MAC address of an old e-reader and it worked instantly.
Thanks again!

Pekkuky, thanks a lot. Now I can use CM derived ROMs, great.

Later on after trying solution by Pekkuky, i have problem in turning on hotspot tethering and usb tethering. Anyone can confirm this or this is just me.

Hotspot tethering is working on mine. Before this fix it didn't.
Haven't tried usb tethering though.

works like a charm
thanks mate, u saved my phone! :highfive:
using this website for generating an mac-adress too
http://www.miniwebtool.com/mac-address-generator/

Thanks Pekkuky for the trick. This problem appeared after flashing lineage os 14.1 using twrp. Then I tried different versions of global stable/developer roms (both fastboot and recovery) but nothing worked. Finally this trick worked Used the miniwebtool site for generating mac-address.

SuperSU making UDP connection

Hello, I have search in this forum and google, but not found related answer.
sorry for bad english.
A month ago I found Unknown process sending UDP to random IP server (some time academi server, sometime goverment server, sometime random). But all IP hosted/served by one ISP in my country (Bi*net). OK its not problem with server or ISP.
I am just courious about sender (app who sent data). I use Packet Capture to intercept connection. When Packet Capture listing Unknown process, I think sender is System Module Android or System App or kernel, i dont know. For example, Hospot/tethering modul shown as Unknown process in Packet Capture, I know that because IP address shown as 192.*
Then i have other suspect that may be making UDP connection,
1. CM13 Google Seed, this is modified by developer in my country
2. Google Apps, installed with cusrom
3. ABS Tweak, I downloaded from official XDA thread
4. Busybox No Root, I downloaded from blac**art
5. SuperSu Binary v2.82 SR2 from chainfire site
To known who make UDP connection, I installing another cusrom, MIUI 8 stable, ported by same developer. But this time I only install SuperSU binary.
The result is Packet Capture still intercept UDP from Unknown process.
Then I install other cusrom, CM13 Temasek, still modified by same developer and no google apps included, but this time I am not installing SuperSU binary.
I try to intercept connection, and not found other UDP connection.
Next I am installing SuperSU binary new v2.82 SR3 and I found UDP connection again.
This us happened to me or you also experience this?
Is SuperSU sending data via UDP? I have contacted Chainfire but no reply.

Is 2.77 or 2.76 compatible with your device? Try those and see if still makes UDP connections.
Could be that the Chinese company is doing some sketchy **** lol.

Anyone found ROM or kernel that allows tether on O or P?

Tether used to work fine on Nougat, then in Oreo and Pie, google baked-in the inability to add "dun" to an apn whether existing or new, resulting in an error message of "carrier does not allow apns of type dun." This resulted in a really slow, erratic tether function in the ROMs I tried.
Anyone found a ROM, or kernel, or know of a dev that is actively adding the same functionality as was present on Nougat--that is, tethering worked properly out of the box, or adding dun to the apn makes it work properly? I know for a fact that SOME Oreo and Pie ROMs now allow one to add the dun parameter to the apn, but it still didn't make tethering fast and stable like before.

I'm a little surprised no one else has weighed in on this--it is as if @namanjr and I the only ones who have an interest in tethering.

Incorrect.
Neither LOS 15 (Oreo) nor LOS 16 (Pie) tether as well as Nougat, and neither allow the dun parameter to be written into the APN. Their tether speed is less than 1/10 of the speed with Nougat.
Furthermore, using either one of them will probably result in the downgrade "Encryption Unsuccessful" error in attempting to re-flash Nougat, meaning that the only way to downgrade is to format interior storage.

You have to use the CLI tools or edit the xml with all the APN.
Try "settings put global tether_dun_required 0" in adb shell or terminal emulator.
Something like "settings put global tether_dun_apn APNHERE" would manually add a APN+DUN if you know the input format of the command. Just turn data off and on after and test hotspot.

I've tried "put global..." in one or two other roms, with no success.
One of the other roms would also allow editing the APN, but even with the dun parameter, it didn't perform properly.
Did you do this to your own rom and see an effective before and after?

I edited /system/etc/apns-conf.xml manually. Copy and paste your existing APN and change the name, then edit it to allow tethering. You will loose changes when updating unless you make a backup script for it, a magisk module, or get you or a dev to add it to a rom.

Thank you. Can you tell me or show a screenshot of your tether download speed with (and/or without) the DU rom or with the dun parameter in/absent from the apn, illustrating the difference in quality?
I am lax to immediately install another P rom knowing that if I need to come back to N, there is extra work/risk involved.

Hey, I've also been struggling in this boat for a few months now. Went from a nexus 6p with Los 14.1 to the oneplus 3t. Only rom available at the time was 15.1 , which I remember kind of sucked when it first came out the gate on the nexus 6p, so I was hesitant to use it. Quickly ran into this issue where the tethering speed was dramatically terrible. For months I've just assumed it was the oneplus 3t's fault. Maybe the radio is weaker, or my carrier doesn't approve of this Chinese import versus the other...
I bounced between Stock, Ice Cold, and Los trying to find the best settings for the best result. With my carrier (tmo) the trick was to make a new apn and set it up to use a different address, meant for devices without lte support. "epc.tmobile.com" . This immediately made everything fast again, however it sort of pipelines any tethering activity. So like it would have the good expected transfer rate with one thing, but if you tried to load anything else, that thing would hang until the first thing finished transferring.
I'm glad I finally caught wind of this question/thread. It's relieving to know that it's just because google f***ed with something in oreo and pie, and not that Los suddenly updated into inconvenience. I'm going to try Dirty Unicorns 13 as ZVNexus suggested, and will report back to you with results. Also if any of you can help better articulate this 'global dun 0 apns-conf.xml trick' for me that'd be great and I'll gladly try that out and give results. I flashed magisk and navigated to the apns-conf.xml file just to be suddenly reminded I have no idea what on earth I'm looking at.
** Dirty Unicorns 13 Result
A big maybe? Tmobile out of the box shoots down tethering speed to ~70 kb/s . I usually use the TTL trick to work around this, but that requires I set/use any APN protocol to IPv4. For whatever purposes, the version I tried (du_oneplus3-v13.0-20190109-0432-RC) doesn't allow you to edit the initial APN settings, however I can see that it has "dun" listed in the types. Inconvenient, but I figured whatever I'll just make my own BUT NO. It won't let you save a new APN with dun anywhere in the types. So in the end I can't give any solid result, sorry. If it means anything the upload speed was good, so this could be an issue exclusive to my carrier.
