I am not and never said I was a member of the unrevoked team, secondly unlimted.io is the team who might bring us S-OFF.

Thrid, S-OFF is never NEEDED.

it simply allows you more access to your phone..

fourth if you don't know what S-OFF is, you don't need it.

root is here, enjoy it :)

root is all we need, S-OFF hopefully will come, but I have nothing to do with that. If you have any questions for the unlimted.io team about s-off they asked me not to answer and to ask them.

sorry if any of this comes off rude I'm certainly not trying to be.

Hey all. My first mod on the GNII. It's the result of ideas I had (modifying tetheringprovision.apk) and a bud (Electron73) had (modifying framework-res.apk) to restore the innate tethering ability of Android that AT$T loves to nuke for some reason...

The original idea came from Electron's thread post here and seeing as how I just got my new Note II I figured I'd try it out.. Eureka.. It works.

Again as you saw the idea was his.. Just a much cleaner mod that my modded Provision that fooled the simcard.

I've tested it on my device but as usual take the standard precautions... Back up before applying.

My phone is pure stock excluding this mod but I'm sure that'll be changing and I'll keep this up to date as I can.

Good luck and feedback is welcomed.

4Shared link - Flashable zipfile.. I use TWRP but should be fine in CWM.

how to flash

Is this flash-able through Clock work recovery. Sorry if its a dumb question also will ATT see our usage like always and send us nasty emails trying to force us to a tethering plan. thanks in advance for your time and help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mostyle:
Yes, it is.

Edited OP to reflect.

There has been much discussion about whether or not they can 'see' tethering. In short if they choose to put the time and effort into it by doing packet analyzation or going back and and looking and your browsing then technically, yes it can always be detected. Just be mindful and don't go crazy and you should be fine. The last 3 devices I've had over 4 years were all modded to re-enable tethering and I've been fine but that's my story. Yours might differ. The main thing I'd suggest is to not go crazy and use 20 gigs of mobile data or something obvious. :)

I average 2-3 gigs a month regular phone usage so getting closer to the throttle ceiling of 5 shouldn't matter that much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BMEEKS:
much appreciated

Thank you for your response and great advice it is much appreciated. Have a great holiday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Just to NOTE. That AT&T Lte data plan & if your on an unlimited plan than your data cap is set to 10 gigs, b4 they slow you down. :what:

But we'll b using this thanx

Side note: when I tethered my Xbox from my phone they sent me a msg telling me about tethering plan. But just for normal use everyone will b ok. I get no msg from AT&T ever!:D

i am using Modded I317_N7105ZHALJ4 MultiWindow Control rom when I installed this zip. It seems to be working fine, but now the multiwindow function isn't working. Just curious if anyone has this mod working with Modded I317_N7105ZHALJ4 MultiWindow Control ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mostyle:
You mean this rom?

If so, I'll apply the mod to it and post a flashable zip tonight. Will be easy to port..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kkl0wn:
This is probably the first thing I will flash on my GN2. Haven't seen anything else worth it except multi-window support. I need to tether my 4G with my Nexus 7! Been using FoxFi but prefer the native tethering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] E--Man:
Hi, first thank you to OP. Can you advise what the advantages are to tethering using this "native" method vs out of the box besides the carrier not knowing you are doing so? It seems like straight NAT but is there a performance gain?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] hkeyman:
Thanks Mo for sharing, I have been trying to find a tether that works with the GNII and your solution worked like a champ! I got my GT-8013 Tethered to the phone along with the Two Wifi PS Vita's attached with no issues and working perfectly! Happy Holidays indeed to all! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rocket42:
Hi there...I too am on that ROM ...does the link now work on it? Thank you

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mostyle:
Well..

Performance wise it isn't any different than the out-of-the-box method.. It IS the out-of-the-box method minus the provisioning app that the out-of-the-box method calls to see if you are 'eligible' before it activates tethering.

The gains:

The out-of-the-box method had no bluetooth tethering.. This does.

The install script deletes 'ProvisionManager.apk' and 'ProvisionManager.odex' since they aren't called any longer so.. You gain device space? Though it may be a moot point given the device capacity.

For me.. This is what mattered: This method isn't a hack. Zero chance of breaking something else on the device. Its a step toward making android perform as it was intended before that carriers perform their surgeries on it. I know this one may just be a personal preference but it really REALLY irritates me that American carriers spend time and effort to block features of the device that the device would have innately done before they modified it.

I wont get into a debate of semantics but if I shell out non-contract prices on a device and buy it outright (as I did in this case) I can't for the life of me figure out how the carrier has the right to tell me what features the device can have. They have every right to dictate service plan features but not device features.

Enough rambling. Back to development discussions. (If you wanna reply to my small rant, please, use PM)

No. I'll make a mod that does and update the OP with a second link as soon as I finish it.. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: I decompiled the framework-res.apk from this rom. It seems to have the needed edits for tethering to be unlimited. Is tethering missing from that rom? I'm headed out for drinks but I'll flash the complete rom later tonight or tomorrow and test it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flame Red:
I flashed with the I317_N7105ZHALJ4 and it activated the teathering, WIFI, BT and USB work great as does Multi-window :good:

However, I am not sure what port this teathering uses. In some platforms, the teathering uses a different port number than other general data that apps use. The carriers can then easily scan for data using this port and send you the nasty SMS or just start charging you their tethering fees. But if the MOD uses the right port - the carriers would have no idea.

Anyone know which port I317_N7105ZHALJ4 ROM uses?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tenkie:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ookba:
Great mod OP! So your recompiled framework-res.apk with these changes for the stock AT&T LJ2 ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mostyle:
Exactly. Pure stock framework-res.apk.

I tried to do the same for the Telus framework but it apparently is different. The lines that needed to be removed were already not there. Since I don't want to trying flashing a full Telus rom to test the differences it's hard to say what else needs to be changed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ookba:
Awesome. I just created a universal mod for those with already tweaked framework-res.apk's. If it works, I'll post it a bit later. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] turilo:

How can I install this, just install framework-res.apk ?? or i have to root my device or flash new rom. Im using a new phone without doing anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mostyle:
ROFL. I warned ya. ;p

Have to have a custom recovery installed which requires root to install.

Highly unlikely as I would suspect the frameworks wouldn't be identical.. If you wanna pm me your frameworkres, I'll be happy to look though.

I tried it last weekend. It doesnt work. It messes up the lock screen clock and crashes the settings app causing you to not be able to change any settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pilotboyshorty:
It appears that the setting are still being manipulated. all the buttons in the status bar still work. all the services still turn on and off.

doesnt that use the settings script? it seems stupid to make a separate script instead of linking to the settings app. and if they are linked to the settings app then it means something. IDK what, but someone in the community will figure this out quickly because xda has the best devs in the universe.

Do I need to restore the file from cache instead?

Wiped and loaded from cache and still doesn't work for me. I wonder what the difference as it seems to have worked for another user.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] JdgM3NT4L:
Well I guess that I should have mentioned that I used TWRP to flash it. Sorry if that caused any confusion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
ok, cool, I am back on stock and will try trwp. If that dont work, I am moving over to clean rom and trying it from there. I wonder what the diff would be between installing from stock recovery and twrp. obviously there is a diff, so i am gonna go that route before my exodus to clean rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
Adventurous evening. Installed TWRP. Installed fix/patched filez and bootlooped. Restored factory, now all is good but Google Play is hozed. Time to reimage stock. Not sure why this is all happeneing. I am stock besides restoring nvram/qcn's to restore 1700 mhz tmobile bands. Must be related somehow. Radios are the common demoninator here unless someone else has input. I was 100% stock other than this and I only tampered with nvram. Restored my qcn back to stock and still no diff. I think it's time for a clean slate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] JdgM3NT4L:
Just curious, any luck? I haven't needed to mod the radio or make any other real changes to my phone other than root and adding an icon row on the home screen. Hopefully getting back to near stock will get you where you want to be.

Yeah unfortunately I'm having all kinds of issues after flashing it. Rom manager is also crashing.

Looks like I flashed the wrong one? I'm on 4.1.2 stock rooted and I flashed the one from the first post.

I'm booting into recovery now and re-flashing 4.1.2, will try the stock modded and report back.

Flashed Stock LK7 Odexed from above.

Still says I cannot tether without subscribing.

However, I have a tether widget that still turns it on but the hotspot is definitely not on using that widget.

Foxfi turns on the hotspot like it used to, and it does work. So what am I doing wrong here? I'd like to just be able to use the stock settings to turn it on rather than Foxfi.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
It bootlooped me so I dont know what to think. One other user said it worked for him. I was mostly stock when I did this. Once I restored back to the original files, google play store kept stopping. Gave up and loaded Scott's AT&T Clean rom which has this enabled by default. No bluetooth tethering though. Once I get my phone set back up and fully backed up, I am going back to trying this again as I would love to have bluetooth teathering. Need to go back and check if this rom is deodexed before I venture on. God luck with whaterver you try and let us know what works for you.

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

I wiped the cache and davlik caches too to no avail. Forgot to mention that.

Scott's ROM is deodexed, so I guess I need to load that version on mine to get the bluetooth teathering enable, so for here on out, I wont be trying to load what you are so what I do going forward wont apply. I didnt see anyone having issues with the deodex version, so I hope this all works out in the end. I just wish I didnt need bluetooth teathering so much. WIFI just uses too much power compared to BT for both devices involved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] braddman:
So you're thinking if I flasj yje cleanrom then the deodexed modded I'll be alright?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
It worked for me. I installed TWRP through goo so that I could load this rom. Not sure if you have to be rooted to do this step as I was already rooted. If you are not currently rooted, go to the app store and install the exynos exploit to root yourself. Download clean rom 1.2 to your sd card.

Boot into recovery and wipe cache/davlik cache and wipe your device before installing new rom. I did it sitting on the beach with female distractions all around, so it really is quite easy. The new rom is already rooted and deodexed and teathering is enabled.

This rom is the exact same rome as the stock at&t rom with all of the AT&T bloatware removed. I love it so far. Add's allot more toggles and you can configure the toggles that you want and dont want. I am glad I was forced into this actually. If you need any help, let me know. I downloaded it from www.scottsroms.com.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] braddman:
I didn't wipe any caches when I did the flash, do you think that's the problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NMonster69:
I dont think you need to do this for this mod. Just saying I'd do that when installing another rom.
