[Galaxy S 4 Active General] AltLeonidas:
4.4.2 not able to wifi tether (followed many steps, need advice)

Hello everybody! Firs of all i wanted to say thank you for everyone who is working on workarounds and supports this device.

I have Galaxy s4 i537 AT&T unlocked phone with Simple Mobile operator. and recentle i have updated it to 4.4.2 following this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2722073

I have gained root and everything went well exempt wifi tethering.

I have managed to wifi tether over bluetooth and usb following some instructions over FoxFi, but still unable to use wifi tether.

What happens is, when i turn on WifiTether over ES FileExplorer, it turns on but IMMEDIATELY after that it says Cancelling Network and it shuts down and as addition Settings Error pops up. After following guide in REPLACING TetherProvisions.apk, i have rebooted the phone, went to ES and turned WiFi tether on and it stayed ON for 10 seconds, then it said again Cancelling Network and shut down. If you open wifi search on other device and try to turn on WiFi Tethering, it appears for a second (while it is cancelling by itself) which leads to point that it actually work and something shuts off wifi tethering.

So the steps i tried:

Quarantine TetherProvisions.apk - failed

Rename TetherProvisions.apk and TetherProvisions.odex - failed

Replace with custom TetherProvisions.apk - after reboot working for 10 second, then shuts off (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2535141)

Following this http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/help/nexus-5-tethering-block-t2512674/post47203432#post47203432 (it was already 0) - failed

Using FoxFi to enable Wifi Tether - failed

Changing APN for SimpleMobile - failed (it did work on same phone on 4.2)

P.S. something shuts off WiFi tether but I cant get what it is. Please, any help will be appropriated. Thank you lots.

ANYBODY knows the solution for this problem. I have the same issue on ATT Note3 with Grand fathers data plan. ...BUT Everything works fine when I insert SIM card with regular Data Plan.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] phat0074:
Did you find a solution because I'm having the same issue after updating my s4 active to 4.4.2? I've been trying those methods as well with no luck
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] cezaryj:
If you have root, try WiFi Tether Router. It will work :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] phat0074:
I got it working thanks :pilgrim: (John Wayne Voice)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] larns:
Sadly, didn't work for me. Bought the app, gave it a try. It acts as though it has setup a hotspot and is waiting for connections, but no other devices can see any hotspot. Trying to connect manually as though SSID is not being broadcast also did not work (and I tried the option that's supposed to enable/disable broadcast of the SSID).

Other ideas? I have exactly the same issues as the original poster: AT&T S4 Active, just updated to 4.4.2, rooted, Tethering frozen, "Settings has stopped" error, no love with ES File Explorer.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] wolf45801:
I got the app to broadcast and the device says it has internet but it wont transmit back and forth from the phone you need to make sure you have wifi on it uses your wifi to send out the ssid
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] larns:
hmmm, still no luck. I have wifi turned on, but the very first thing the app does when enabling the hotspot is to turn off wifi (I see there is a option to have it do that but the option is not checked).
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] larns:
Eventually the dev was able to sort through the log and get things working. There are some minor annoying quirks, but in the end it works.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] juancollado2003:
well with X Tether you do not need to do anything but install and activate the module
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] cracktrix:
Thanks man, it's works, and very easy to implement. Sorry my English. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ChronoT:
Oh, thanks! Finally I was able to turn on tethering on my Samsung S5 Active AT&T (SM-G870A)

[HTC Rezound] AlmostTactful:
Hey Everyone! So here's the quick nitty gritty...

Flashed Clean Rom Standard and Left S-On

Worked great for about 8 months

Started crashing like crazy and the only fix was to go back to stock

Went to stock and then unlocked, S is still On

Flashed ClockworkMod 6.0.2.3

Can't get any aftermarket S-On Roms to work

It can never see a PH98IMG.zip file via fastboot/bootloader

So I'm stuck and I don't know what to do

Anyway, that's where I'm at. Right now the phone is working just fine but stock roms suck and it's FULL of bloatware that I can't get rid of. So...any ideas on what I can do? I'd love to use Clean Rom once again but I can't get the PH98 file to flash :(

More Phone Info...

Ver - 4.0.3

Sense - 3.6

Software - 4.03.605.2 710RD

Kernel - 3.0.16-g480e1b0

Thanks in advance!

[HTC Rezound] kc6wke:
The newer roms are mostly made for S-OFF and do not create a ph98img file to flash with the boot.img you have to manually do it.

You should be able to flash by extracting the boot.img from the rom you want to flash, place it in your fast boot folder on your PC,

Open command prompt in that folder, and type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hope this helps

Just saw your location

Hi Neighbor :D
[HTC Rezound] AlmostTactful:
Haha Howdy!

Well, so I just tried using Nils ROM and it's supposed to be an all in one installer. I can see the installer saying everything is working but when it goes back to the boot loader screen it still isn't seeing the PH98 file...I'm not super familar with using fast boot on my PC as I'm still using older roms that always worked for me before when it came to flashing doing this method.

Sorry to be a pain in the a lol
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
I'll chime in, but would say that getting acquainted with how ADB works from the PC would be of great help to you. I don't like it either, which is why I s-offed. It does occur to me though that, at the very least, you are rooted, so Titanium Backup will help you freeze and/or uninstall bloat. I just had to RUU because I borked my internal storage and I am running stock, without all of Big Reds crap, and I'm actually enjoying it for a few days...

Good Luck from the mid west!
[HTC Rezound] jrredho:
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't see a way around your problem if you're unwilling to learn how to do things with fastboot or adb or (possibly) both. They're easy to figure out for basic operations, so just do it! (Hey, you're flashing custom ROMs, ya gotta give a little too! :) )

Good luck,

john
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
There is one way to acquire temp "s-off" meaning you can flash ROMs in recovery and the boot image flash with it. It does do heavy work on your boot partition though. TWRP HTCdumlock there is instructions in flyhalf's TWRP thread to do this method
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Don't use CWM plain and simple. Switch over to TWRP. Only con, rebooting to bootloader manually. Also make sure you do a system/data/cache wipe prior to switching roms.
[HTC Rezound] satseaker:
There is always the all in one tool that you can flash the kernel from but you still need to extract the boot img from the rom

HI IAM FROM INDIA CAN ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THE LATEST ROM UPDATES FOR XDA 2I AND WHERE CAN I FIND THEM.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] arizhasan:
hi,

i have the same issue, i have been tracking these forums for long time now, and all i see is others can update their phones to wom2005 and i can't coz i have xda2i. please, can some one inform me about updating my xda2i to wm2005????

cheers
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Anton.Valleyman:
It isn't possible, at least for the 2i as a ROM with 2005 for an Alpine has to exist before it can be altered as per the usual xda-dev process.

Wait and get the Exec / Universal...or sell your 2i to go back to an xda2 if you're that desperate.

I'm waiting for the Exec then upgrading early from the 2i to it, myself.

Cheers

I'm looking for the best way to get my music from iTunes locally onto my HTC One.

Preferably, I'd like to remove the remaining DRM on my iTunes music, and let google play music do the rest (the only songs not on play are DRM-protected).

From there I think I'd just download the library and put it on my phone.

But mainly I guess I'm asking how to remove that DRM?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nicastro78:
If you are willing to pay $25 for the year, iTunes match will allow you to download your library drm free. That is what I did and then used Google Music to upload to the cloud.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
You can make mp3 versions of your songs within iTunes itself then put it on any device you want. That's what I do.

Go to iTunes settings/preferences then "general" then click the button that says "import settings" and select MP3 encoder. Save the settings.

Then right click the songs you want to convert and select "create MP3 version." You can either keep or delete the AAC version. I delete it because I don't want 2 versions of the same song.

I'm pretty sure it removes DRM... because once I do this, I'm able to do anything I want with it. Amazon cloud, google, etc.

Sent from my HTC One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Insertnamehere12:
Easiest way, use a music converter program to convert to DRM free MP3, then upload them to google music. I personally like the program sound taxi to do this, can queue up as many songs as you want, it will convert 8-12 at a time until they whole queue is done.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] crazyg0od33:
yeah I'm currently trying to burn my music to an audio CD to remove the DRM and re-ripping them to my library. I already did a quarter of my DRM music that way.

The rest of it is on google music.

But can I just drag the MP3s onto the phone?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Insertnamehere12:
Thats the more painful (and costs money) way of converting, but it works.

Yes you can just put the music on ur phone, I myself prefer to have it on google music... but I have unlimited data so it doesn't matter for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
I use poweramp and it plays every song I have from iTunes.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] crazyg0od33:
yeah no unlimited anymore for me so i cant be streaming everything
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mbh87:
I use iSyncr to transfer music to my phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sheldor1967:

Im thinking about rooting this phone and I would like to know what rom would be good as a daily driver. Another thing is that im thinking of doing the same to my moms s4 but for her I will need a basic rom that will not have any bugs since she doesnt know anything about root. And would 4.3 be good to start or does it have many bugs in it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
All of the ROMs here are good enough to be used as a daily driver. They each have their pros and cons, and all of the AOSP/CM ROMs have little things here and there that don't work JUST right. It's up to you to try them out and see what works for you. I recommend doing a bit of reading on the development and original android development sections.
