Hey all this is my first post on XDA.
So I was trying to unroot and relock my nexus 6 so i decided to replace the build.prop that i have edited with a copy of the original build.prop i had saved on my phone. I used root browser to do this. after I did this I restarted my phone and all I would get is a black screen with google in white and an unlocked lock. it will not boot back up.
My phone will go into recovery mode and that about all i can tell you.
I would truly appreciate your help.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can fastboot flash the stock factory image.
Or, if you have TWRP Recovery (I sure hope so, since you were modifying the build.prop) you can connect to your PC while in recovery, then transfer a custom ROM .zip from your PC to your SDcard. Then flash it in recovery.
I had the same thing happen, all you need to do is flash the system image only. Luckily you don't need to flash userdata. Still looking for a way to enable tethering.

you do realize that when you edit your build.prop, if you edit to something that doesnt support the n6 or you make a spelling error somewhere, then most likely it will not boot? anyways, the easy way around this is before you edit your build.prop, make a nandroid backup in recovery. so that when you mess up, it won't be a pain in the butt to get everything back.

This was a method to enable tethering under 5.1, but they've done something to disable it in 5.1.1.

no, its still the way to enable FREE tethering, as long as it is all entered in correctly, it still works. but for tethering, you dont need to do anything, it works straight out of the box.

Nope, not for me on LMY48I stock, unrooted. WiFi hotspot won't even turn on with 48I, for me. AT&T family share plan (which includes WiFi hotspot). But USB tethering does still work.

in your apn, try changing the IPv6 to IPv4 instead, that should fix the tethering issue(not free tethering, just wireless tethering).

Thanks. But it is IPv4. Standard AT&T "nextgenphone" APN.
Doesn't really matter for me, since I rarely use tethering. But other users may benefit.

Am new at this and in uncharted territory. I rooted my new Google Nexus 6 using the WugFresh, Nexus Root Toolkit 2.0.4, Root program downloaded. Also downloaded Busybox, ES File Explorer, Superuser, TWRP, Root Browser. I fail to understand which one gives me root control. Also loaded Cyanogen Mod 12.1 nightly build as a ROM. Also downloaded Wifi Tether 3.4 Experimental 1-07202013 which has worked in my old rooted Galaxy Nexus since 2013, and previous versions since 2011.
I'm thinking I am in over my head as I attempt to deal with a new system, Lollipop, and now Marshmallow 5.1.1 and new phone Nexus 6 and older tether program? Can you suggest or recommend a ROM with perhaps more compatibility and ease of tethering? Wife and I live deep in country and our phone tether only access we have over Verizon with the repeater.

I'm strongly considering switching from Tmo to RW to save some money. I have the S4 currently, which is feature packed but just feels like a llittle kids phone. Since RWs version of the Moto X uses proprietary software for wifi calling, has this made rooting the device difficult in any way? If I want to run stock android but have root access with the X on RW will I have any difficulty or limitations/
Also, I tether occasionally, maybe once every few weeks when I'm on the go and want to use my Nexus 10 and there's no wifi around. I know RW opposes tethering. How likely are they to go after someone who tethers if they stay well below their monthly data? Have any of you heard back from them after tethering? And does androids built in tethering feature/app work once rooted, or will I have to use a third party tethering app?
Thanks.

YES! I'm on RW with unlocked bootloader (thanks middleman), and the WiFi tether app works perfectly (NO native/built-in tether ability on the RW variant). If you unlock your bootloader (see the China Middleman Back??) thread in the general sub-forum. let me know and I'll link you to the appropriate instructions.
I don't know if this will work with tethered root (PIE), but I doubt it. I only KNOW that it works if you have unlocked bootloader.
Additionally, the tether app I refer to "hides" tether usage, so likely they will assume you are using that data on the device itself. I've had no issues, but stay WELL within the 5GB limit (rarely exceed 2GB).
Good Luck

Thanks for your reply. The tethering/mobile hotspot is completely removed from the Moto X RW ROM if I'm understanding you correctly then?
Which tethering app do you use? and please do link me to the instructions you used. Does OTA updating still work when you unlock the bootloader and apply root?

OTA updating will stop working at the point you flash a custom recovery (which is required to root). You can cross that bridge when a new OTA comes out, as we will no doubt have to advise countless people on what steps to take to be able to accept the OTA. Basically it involves disabling any modifications made to /system, disabling Xposed (if installed), and flashing back STOCK RECOVERY. Being unlocked has no affect on being able to accept the OTA.
Here is the relevant thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/solved-republic-wireless-unlocked-t2755730
Be sure to use the specific wifi-tether app listed in POST # 2 in that thread. You'll notice that it didn't work for me until I did a complete return-to-stock for unknown issues. The built-in hotspot feature has somehow been disabled by RW, and attempting to use it results in the RW app immediately "stealing" back WiFi, and a message saying something to the effect of "WTF? The phone just stole back WiFi access" appears on the screen LOL! Neither the Xposed module or the entitlement bypass worked for me, with any of the options (including the Sprint-specific build.prop tweak).
PLUS, native tether does NOT 'HIDE' usage, so they might know you are indeed tethering!!! I don't suggest trying...
Good Luck, let me know if you have additional questions.
I got my Moto X a few days ago and I'm very impressed. Republic has the 30 day trial period, but I'm more 90% sure I'm sticking with it, but if I do want to return it, can I unroot/lock the bootloader? Will they check to see if it has been rooted?
Are these the instructions I should follow? I'm on 4.2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-republic-wireless-moto-x-kitkat-4-t2738233
You can always flash back to stock but you can never return the phone to its locked bootloader state. It would read "relocked" and not "locked"

Hi guys,
The way I see it the Tethering and Hotspot option is only working with Verizon SIM card.
Now when I'm trying to use different (foreign country) SIM it says: "A Verizon Wireless LTE SIM card is not detected. Mobile Hotspot/Mobile Broadband connect/Bloototh tethering service needs a Verizon SIM card in order to work".
What are my options to make it work? Is there any workaround? Maybe some app?
Appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!

I would love to know the exact same thing as I just converted my Verizon LG G2 to T-Mobile last night and the only issue I have is tethering. From reading I found a method to running the T-Mobile ROM on the Verizon LG with a patch added after loading the ROM and prior to first reboot but I cannot find any information about Wi-Fi tethering and if this would solve the problem. Anyone the help or insight?

Make sure your phone is rooted and use root explorer or es file explorer to replace the modded apk file with the original.
After much trial and error, trying all the different modded version on the threads, I cannot get any of them to work. As I am on stock 24a, rooted and debloated, I am going to back my APNs, flash back to 100% stock with stock recovery. Once I get this done I will re-root, install custom recovery and then backup the stock, after which I will load one of the custom ROMS and see if that resolves it. If not I can get a hotpot from T-Mobile for next to nothing out the door if I find I need it.

Hey. I have found an workaround regarding the hotspot here somewhere.
To bypass/activate the hotspot, you need following :
Root your phone using LG ONE CLICK ROOT
HotSpot file ( for lollipop version)
Root Browser
Steps to follow :
Go to root browser.
Head to /system/app/HotspotProvision and rename or backup HotspotProvision.apk, ex : " HotspotProvision.apk.bkup" . Then go to /system/app/HotspotProvision/arm and rename or backup " HotspotProvision.odex" file. After that, copy the provided Hotspot provision file to the same location, change its permission to rw-r-r and restart phone.
It should work now.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Regards :good:

I know the verizon version is now able to enable hotspot but it their anyway for the AT&T version as of right now? can any third party app do it? I've tried PDAnet/foxfi but it gives me an error.

Third-party wi-fi tether apps
Any third-party tether apps (not USB -- I want a wi-fi router) confirmed to work on rooted AT&T S6 running AOCE? I see this is for AOE2 ROM, but I rooted already and really don't want to go through all the app/settings re-do by flashing back to stock and then flashing AOE2 if I can help it. I'll pay $2 or $3 for an app if someone can confirm it works on AOCE...

I've not seen/heard anything that would work on OCE, but if your rooted why not titanium backup, or back up data in flashfire then use Odin to flash OE2. After reroot and restore data?

I was asking in another thread for confirmation that I could do that, in fact. If I can flash AOE2 over the top, then the path to tethering is easy (by way of backing up what I can). Have only had the S6 for 27 hours, but I've already done a fair number of customizations -- but I can re-do them if need be.
Just to double-check, I can (or can not?), coming from AOCE baseband:
- TB / backup data
- ODIN to push AOE2 on
- PingPong to re-root
- restore data/config
- tether for the win
???
I say with 95% certainty you can. I have not tried it but it should work. I can't imagine why it wouldn't.
It's best to go with OE2 and get it over with. You'll benefit from the memory leak fix and have greater battery life. I done it and I got the Wifi tether hack working on my unlimited data plan. There was an option to restore apps when I went from stock AT&T ROM (OE2) to CleanROM 1.1 (OE2), but I'm not sure how it was backed up in the first place. I elected to just start fresh and clean. Didn't take much time from me to redo a lot of the apps (e.g., redownload, reconfigure). Worse case, you can risk flashing the hack on the OCE and see what happens, but better back up everything first before doing so.
So I went back to completely stock/encrypted to flash the new 5.1.1 update with Wi-Fi calling. I want to stay encrypted but I want to re-root my phone. Anyone running the new T-Mobile 5.1.1 build (LYZ28E) with root and having any problems with Wi-Fi calling? I just want to make sure it won't break it if I root... it would defeat the entire purpose of going back to stock.
Thanks!

Flash SuperSU and report back to us, let us know if it works. You can always unroot with ease via SuperSU settings. There is a cleanup option.

I could, but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone else has done it first.
My biggest concern is that I have yet to see Wi-Fi calling work. I flashed my phone at work using NRT and I am connected to Wi-Fi, and I have enabled Wi-Fi calling (set to Wi-Fi preferred) and I'm not seeing any evidence anywhere that it's active. I'm probably going to have to wait until I get home and try my Wi-Fi there.
My phone is rooted and wifi calling is working. BUT i have several ap's at home. before i had no issue handing off from one ap to the other. now, i have to disable wifi and re-enable to connect to the closest ap. also, the update has completely stopped giving me notifications on my moto 360
No problems for me.
How to enable wifi hotspot on Sprint Note 7 without ROOT....
Edit... Works on PHE update...
Make sure you have adb working on your computer...
Have USB Debuging enabled...
Connect your phone with your data cable....
Open Windows Explorer and go to your adb folder...
Hold shift and right click to open command prompt here.....
Type " adb devices " and hit enter to make sure your phone is recognized....
Once it is...
Type " adb shell " and hit enter...
Type " settings put global tether_dun_required 0 "
Hit enter....
Wait about ten seconds then unplug your phone and reboot...
Wifi tether should now work...
If not make sure wifi hotspot sharing is enabled in the hotspot settings....
ENJOY EVERYONE....

Forgive my naivete if this is obviously not possible for whatever reason but is there a way to directly edit the APN settings via ADB or other tool/utility outside the UI? Is there a chance sammy might have just disabled the UI without restricting permissions to the values themselves. Just spit balling.
To clarify, I'm assuming "tether_dun_required 0" is an attempt to disable the authorization verification method by changing the flag to zero. Could there be some way to edit the value(s) (assuming they're APN related per the previous successful non-root tether enabling method) responsible for failing the "tether_dun_required" method?

There are other methods, but they involve editing a database file. Unfortunately, you need root for that. Possibly other ways, but I haven't found one that works outside of root as of yet.

It is not working for me. Guess I'll be going back to root. This was really my reason to be rooted, but alas *sigh*
Edit: tried a few times, no go. I can see the change in ADB, it does change the value to 0. Still, after a minute or less it changes back to 1 by itself. Set it to 0, reboot...it's back to 1. Set it to 0, confirm at 0... Still goes back to 1 after a moment. There's no stopping that 1 damnit lol

Forgive my naivete if this is obviously not possible for whatever reason but is there a way to directly edit the APN settings via ADB or other tool/utility outside the UI? Is there a chance sammy might have just disabled the UI without restricting permissions to the values themselves. Just spit balling.
To clarify, I'm assuming "tether_dun_required 0" is an attempt to disable the authorization verification method by changing the flag to zero. Could there be some way to edit the value(s) (assuming they're APN related per the previous successful non-root tether enabling method) responsible for failing the "tether_dun_required" method?

I had tried Hotspot edit via adb and had the same issue where it would auto revert back.
I ended up just editing the telephony.db via current KNOX friendly ROOTED ROM.
I may give CDMA Workshop a try later after Nougat update is available.
Then I should be able to keep edited APN indefinitely.

Same here. I'm glad I kept a copy of the telephony.db I modified. Just went back to root and pasted the file and was back in business lol
I know nothing about CDMA workshop unfortunately. Never messed with it.
Works For me! Thanks OP!

I have a Note 3 rooted still with Hotspot. Are you saying you transferred this over somehow or would that be something you had on a computer?

No, I had rooted this phone and modified the right database. Just held onto it, just in case. Good thing I did lol
Running PGC and Hotspot confirmed
Greetings One & All,
I am currently using the Sprint Note 7 running PGC Unrooted, I followed the instructions provided in the first post by intenselyinsane and I not only rebooted my phone, I followed up by powering off my phone and restarting it. In both cases I retained my ability to use my Hotspot and Tethering. Like many, this is the primary reason I root my phone and can hold off for the time being until the developers are more comfortable with their rooting methods now that this is available to me.
Thank You intenselyinsane!
