I'm sorry....i normally always manage to do everything....but in that thread I only find CWM files...that are not to be used with odin....I am just trying to get root on my actual ****ty LA6 thing...so that I can begin with the ICS installation.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] linker3000:
I lost root after this upgrade on my UK note.

I tracked down a self-extracting zip called unlockroot23-eng.exe which I understand contains a root prog called zerg rush.

When I ran the package it errored several times because files it was trying to copy on were already there (presumably from the earlier rooting) but by the time it finished I had root back.

I've only had my Note about a week so perhaps someone with more experience can comment on this method - ie: whether it's to be recommended and the download location as I am stuck in a hospital bed at the moment.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rogermorse:
hey i got the root back with the method in the links provided...I had to download 500 MB for apparently 'nothing' but I am happy to have the root back...chainfire and stuff work properly and detect the super user and I had nothing changed...all apps with my rom bla bla bla. So I am going over to install the official ICS rom now that I have root....then I'll see to root the ICS rom :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:

Why did you need all this hassle to get your root back just to flash stock ICS?:confused:

You could've done it without root as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rogermorse:
How? The method I wanted to use was with ODIN and ODIN could not run without root access. Anyway I won't install ICS, the thing about bugs and bricking don't sound good...I'll wait an official update.

With the update to LA6 I also lost clockworkmod....I installed it from the market, but to install the recovery part I must flash it with ADB or is there a safer and easier way? I don't want to type something wrong, and I don't want to mess that counter with ODIN.

[HTC One S] Bricolo_fr:
Hi,

I see that in the dev section, whenever there is an EU-based ROM thread, some US members ask for the wifi calling feature to be added.

But what is it?

I got a One S with the stock EU ROM (no carrier ROM) and there is also an "internet calling" option in the call settings. There, I can give the settings of a SIP account.

Is this the same thing, or do US ROMs have another additional feature?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
i think its the same thing, but as far as i know its only tmobile US that supports it. it allows you to make calls via wifi in low signal areas
[HTC One S] BTTRDYZ:
You are correct, if I'm at home I do not have TMO coverage so I link to my WiFi and I can make calls w/o any issues. One really nice feature the TMO has!
[HTC One S] Bricolo_fr:
So why do people ask for it to be ADDED to EU ROMs? In my EU 1.78, the feature is also here. Same when I was with 1.53
[HTC One S] BTTRDYZ:
Probably so us Americans can try EU ROMs over here!!
[HTC One S] Oreellyfool:
Probably because people do not realize wifi calling is potentially the same thing as your internet calling. Change scares people....
[HTC One S] agentc13:
I don't think that it is exactly the same thing (even if it may accomplish the same thing). For TMO US folks you don't need to enter any sip info. You just enable it and choose wifi preferred, wifi only, or cellular preferred.
[HTC One S] DownloaderZ:
Yep. In fact it completely turns off your gsm radio and all calls and smses come through the WiFi. You are dialing out using your tmo number and everything. But instead using GSM towers you are using your WiFi.
[HTC One S] Bricolo_fr:
ok then this is obviously not the same as the sip one since it does not shut down the GSM radio and cannot send texts
[HTC One S] tylersnielsen:
Wifi calling on TMobile US has a couple additional benefits. First, you can add a free feature that makes it so the minutes used via Wifi calling do NOT count against your purchased minutes. Second, you can use Wifi calling when travelling outside of the US to call and text back to the US, or people in the US can call and text you. And if you have the free feature added, none of those minutes will count against your total purchased minutes either. I have used both of these benefits extensively and they are wonderful.
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
How do you get this free feature? I've always thought it was ludicrous that wifi calling counted against my minutes, but since I used so rarely back then I really didn't care, but recently at work I get no signal and have been using the wifi calling a lot more.
[HTC One S] rootrider:
Interesting to read about this feature.

Is it basically possible to connect to any wifi net ( usually there is a password protection) or do you basically need your providers ones?
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
If the WiFi is password protected, you need the credentials to establish a WiFi connection before using this feature.

*It is not restricted to provider-only networks. You can use any WiFi network you have access to, and that you phone can connect to.
[HTC One S] jayelbird:
In your t-mobile account, you should have Wifi-calling as one of the free features. If it isn't there, add it manually or call them and add it. The minutes over wifi are still logged and counted, but don't count towards you package (so you can see how much you use wifi calling, but not pay for it).
[HTC One S] rootrider:
It seems to be comparable to the TMO "Hot-Spots" here in Germany in which you can log in for free by signing certain contracts or paying additional fee.

The other thing is connecting to WiFi resulting in a VOIP connection.

Ok, got that now. I didn't know that this feature is that popular in the States. As e.g. Germany geographically isn't a 'big' country we have a very good coverage with our big providers.

@home: I'll have to check my Fritz!Box. AVM offers an app for WiFi calling for mobiles. Interesting stuff.

Well, thanks so far for your answers and your time. :)

Lately pretty much all the carriers are tracking down on mobile hotspot and require you to pay an additional cost for that feature. This is only in the United States. Before, you were allowed to use your data amounts whether it was limited or unlimited any way that you wanted. So be careful, because doing this could cause you to be charged extra for unauthorized thethering from T-Mobile. :-)

A workaround might be to setup your home router as a VPN and route your tethering traffic through that. Might slow it down a bit, and kinda a hassle, but T-Mobile would have no way of seeing what your traffic contains.

Changing your computer browser's user agent to Firefox or something other than Internet Explorer will allow tethering to work.

[Networking] manekineko:
More clearly from my previous post, you setup your home router to act as a VPN host. You set your Galaxy S II to tunnel the traffic it sends over the cellular network through your home router while you are out and about.

Cellular providers allow VPN, and your cellular provider will simply be delivering your encrypted VPN packets to your home router with no way to inspect the contents, and your home router will decrypt the packets and forward them onto their real Internet destinations.
[Networking] sitizenx:
Yes but wouldn't that limit your download speed to your ISPs assigned upload maximum speed? In my case 1 mbs. Sorta defeats the purpose of tethering with LTE... doesn't it?
[Networking] manekineko:
Yes, if you have a slow ISP then this wouldn't be great, but at least it would let you keep tethering. That said, most people don't complain website download too slow when using their home Internet connection anyway.

Also, T-Mobile doesn't have LTE yet.
[Networking] MaxEntropy160:
Work around

I recently got the dreaded redirect (and the up-sell) from T-mobile. I noticed, however, that it did not affect MSN's connectivity-- and oddly enough it only redirected Chrome (my primary browser). I tried using IE, and found that it wasn't affected either.

This seems to indicate that T-Mobile uses some kind of packet monitoring to figure out what programs are in use-- and redirecting from those results. Privacy questions aside from this "quirk", I decided to look at alternate solutions to the redirect... instead of paying twice for my data plan (by being told how to use it).

Since I have an old license to PDANet, and having been reading up about The Tor Project (and how it works), I decided to play with my apps a bit.

(My handset's a HTC G2, running CM7)

Hiding the packet identities through Orbot (created by The Tor Project) worked like a charm. Here's how to do it.

Download Orbot from the market (you will need a rooted handset)

Make sure it has root access when setting it up (you do not need to have it run on boot, you choose to fire it up whenever you're about to tether)

Make sure it is set to transparent proxy

Select apps (you can set it to mask all or individual apps), and select PDANet

Hook up your phone to tether via USB

The resulting connection is fairly solid, although your ping time goes through the ceiling (which makes sense by virtue of what TOR does). The download/upload speed was only slightly diminished. There are a few surfing quirks that resulted from having the TOR network connection, but nothing major.

I tried using Orbot to likewise mask the wifi tether (using its integrated option, as well as several other seemingly stand-alone wifi tether apps) and found that it didn't work.

This "fix" might also work on other networks, and other USB tethering apps.
[Networking] 5318008:
Just chiming in with my experiences. I've got the Droid 3 on T-Mobile w/ the Chinese radio.img trick. I'm using the stock Gingerbread OS, using the built-in hotspot app. I have the prepaid $30/month unlimited-data plan. When I occasionally tether my laptop to download files or upload photos, I only use the Chrome browser, and I've never gotten a text message or redirection notice.

If you need wireless tether for multiple objects you can use the application:

[Networking] colonelcack:
Wait I'm confused. Is this for their official tmobile phones running ICS that they plan on pushing out an update to?

I don't understand how can they actually turn it off for any phone with stock ICS (like the gnex) without doing something on a network level.
[Networking] luftrofl:
Tethering on "official" T-Mobile ROMs will no longer be possible without a tethering plan - essentially the tethering software will check with the network to see if you are eligible to tether. AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint use this method. Don't run a T-Mobile-branded device or ROM and you won't be affected.

Carriers can still tell if you are tethering, however. Most simply don't care enough at this point to detect it.
[Networking] lykos:
Actually, it's not only t-mobile roms. I'm getting the message from my old Windows Mobile 6.5 i900.
[Networking] hli456:
I think it partly depends which phone you are using, I've never had much problems, though I have to say, I've never been a fan of T-mobile internet - its kind of slow compared to other network providers:

"news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8267313"

many of the network companies are cracking down on tethering though, i've heard many stories from friends who use most other providers in the UK
[Networking] luftrofl:
While I was talking only about ROMs, you're right - T-Mobile currently redirects "stock" Chrome (desktop version) to the upsell page.

We're talking about T-Mobile USA :p , which has recently taken measures to block tethering without a tethering plan.
[Networking] shnn2011:
Has anyone got a text saying tethering disabled you need to pay . . . on a custom ROM? This would mean big T is violating FCC regulations and snooping on our content does it not?
[Networking] luftrofl:
No. Go get your tinfoil hat.

Custom ROMs will be like any other ROM that is not branded T-Mobile. Tethering is something that carriers can detect without looking into your private info - usually just by checking the user agent.
[Networking] shnn2011:
Hey guys are there any apps that you can recommend for bypassing t-mobiles tethering detection on a rooted stock rom other than simply freezing or killing the tether manager?

And the user agent your referring to would be the browser right?

So if that were the case and I installed a Ubuntu vm on the phone, would t-mobile think I was tethering just because I was using say Firefox?

For that matter what about full blown Chrome on ICS.

I have seen ClockWork tether on the market. Is it any good?
[Networking] luftrofl:
Can't speak to the effectiveness of any apps - I imagine they all work as advertised. I've also heard that you can go the VPN route but I'm not an expert on that.

However, you raise a good point about false positives- go to (settings>request desktop site) in Chrome for Android: you get redirected to T-Mobile's tethering upsell page. This happens on my Galaxy Nexus.

T-Mobile seems to be looking at the user agent only- change it and you shouldn't have a problem. I've even heard it's currently looking only at Chrome, but I feel it's only a matter of time until other desktop browsers are blocked as well.

Of course, this information is subject to change but at the moment it seems to be correct
[Networking] tog000:
I know this thread has been dead for a while, but Google still redirects and I looked here for a solution and didn't find it.

Everybody is right about the UA being used to check which browser you use. Firefox, Rekonq and all my other browsers work just fine, but Chrome doesn't, but there is no easy way to change the UA of Chrome. The only way to do it, is on tab-by-tab basis like this:

Press Ctrl+Shift+I

Click the little gear on the bottom right corner of the newly opened panel

Check "Override User Agent"

Scroll to "Other..." and write something ridiculous there, or use Firefox's UA:

Something to note is that Chrome sometimes queries Google's servers before it resolves an address, and that destroys the loading of the page because it is done with Chromes default UA. My biggest problem was "gmail.com". Instead of that, while tethering I now type "mail.google.com" and it works.

Good luck!
[Networking] ALUOp:
You can easily change user agent on Chrome by installing an extension.
