You have to manually unzip the MJ7_tether_unlock.zip and move the unzipped folder to your extSdCard first

then type :

su
cd /mnt/extSdCard
cd /MJ7_tether_unlock
sh tether.sh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] m3n00b:
I did thanks. The problem comes here

cd /mnt/extSdCard

It says the dir doesn't exist.

ttalk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Do you have a micro sdcard in your phone?

What's the output of:

ls /storage

ls /mnt

Worse come to worse move MJ7_tether_unlock to the internal sdcard and open tether.sh with a text editor and rename/replace all instances of 'extSdCard' with 'sdcard'
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] m3n00b:
I do have a 32gb msd installed. So weird.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Who wants to test if this script works?

Download the zip and extract it then move the folder to the external sd. The. Open terminal and type

su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
busybox mount -o remount,rw /data
cp /mnt/extSdCard/enable_toggles/sqlite3 /system/xbin/sqlite3
chmod 755 /system/xbin/sqlite3
cd /system/xbin/

Then press enter twice

Get the zip here

After doing this pull down the notification bar and hit the upper right button ans edit the toggles. See if they are all there. Move one toggle to a new location to get it to save changes. Let me know if it works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MehStrongBadMeh:
I modified this script to include all of Hyperdrive's extra toggles, which have been mysteriously absent for me since rls12, and it successfully brought them all back. Thanks a bunch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Slowbalt:
Works like a charm on Stock Rooted MJ7

Edit: Doesnt stick if you click on the reset to default toggles button. I dont know if this is a bug or just something to deal with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I know. But why click that anyways? lol i mean i can fix that i just didnt foresee it being an issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Slowbalt:
I was just messing around with the toggles and moved them around. I clicked the button to go back to original layout and it reverted back to stock(pre added) toggles. No big deal, just some extra terminal work but it would have been useful to know that if that button is pressed it resets the work done. :beer:

Hi mr. Surge1223

Why u didn't post a thread for the tether mod unlock of the ML1 samsung galalxy sIII !!!!!!?.

I have searched to death to find a way to enable the tether and I didn't find any .Then I pulled ur framework-res from the (I535VRUCML1_Stock_Root_Deodex_Aroma) and fixed my nephew's phone.

I think u should post a thread for the people who have the same problem .

Thanks a lot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] suckmyseahawk88:
I am experiencing the same thing code 14 is a cannot open file. I have root also do I downloaded a app from playstore to switch from r/o to r/w.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scottchy014:
I've done a little video on how to add tethering, from what I see, the easy way. I used the Safe Strap method. Very easy to do.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcWvf3WojuA&list=UUdMHRH4cgygL9pn8D5N_zMg&feature=share&index=1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Awesome job! I'll add it to the OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scottchy014:
Thank you [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION]! I'm still new to all this including the video. I hope it helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] princeasi:
Hello Surge1223. I have the sgh-m919 model with 4.3 Rooted stock. I tried using the MK2 you provided, but for some reason it keeps soft bricking my phone. Can I provide you with my framework file and you mod it for me. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimbob_sf:
SERIOSLY? Buried in the middle of 25 pages of posts is another "don't do this". I did this and now I have to go to a proctologist to get the tree out. Can this be put in the OP so someone else doesn't lose a weekend on such as simple few words that belong in the OP.

This is such great work but now I'm fubar'd b/c this wasn't in plane sight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] princeasi:
If you're on stock I can send you a flashable of the original framework file for MK2 I created, if needed. It'll take it out of the boot loop if that's what you're experiencing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimbob_sf:
I'm "stock" mk2, but rooted. I'm stuck on the Verizon splash screen. If you can help me out of this, I'd be grateful!!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] princeasi:
Yes I'm Rooted also. This file is from the tmobile mk2, so im not sure if itll work with verizon so do at your own risk. This is what you can do. Place the flashable onto your sdcard and flash thru cwm or twrp. If it works it'll save the hassle of doing a wipe n restore. Hope this helps. https://www.dropbox.com/s/t5sfb13vvnqeco4/flashable framework_original.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimbob_sf:
Ugh. Stock, meaning very stock. No safestrap, so I can't flash anything. The OP didn't say you needed safestrap. It only said IF you have safestrap, use method 1. The sections below appeared to be clear in saying that you if have root, simply downloading the file will work. No other requirement was mentioned.

Again, awesome work, but like so many of these long threads, the traps that have been hit and overcome sometimes don't make it back into the OP. Now to start the hours of scouring the forum on how to recover from this, wipe the phone, try to root again... My weekend is shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] princeasi:
You can flash thru cwm or twrp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimbob_sf:
afaik, stock MK2 can't use a custom recovery unless you have ss installed and I don't. I'm already into the research on how to get this thing working, in any condition, again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] princeasi:
I have twrp installed with my rooted stock setup and no ss.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimbob_sf:
I found jae.farah's breadcrumbs and I'm following his path. There's a no-wipe odin to recover from this. I'm gong to put SS on after I get a heartbeat again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] princeasi:
Ok good, hope you get back in track.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I did tell you exactly what to do. And to be fair, I didn't include "don't do this" in the OP because I specifically said to move it and overwrite the file, I figure most will follow my directions. I'm sorry you had trouble, but I never did say to rename it to .old or .bak. But to avoid future problems, I will add a note in the OP.

T-mobiles wont work, he needs to use Verizons MK2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimbob_sf:
No dig intended and I did read your highlighted comments. When I re-read them after the soft brick, I had to put on my DFU hat and forget that I've been doing "this" for 20 years and muscle memory says to always make backups. What could possibly go wrong if you have a backup...?

No long term harm, I odin'd the no-wipe MK2 and re-applied your method and I have native tether without using FoxFi. I again sincerely thank you for coming up with this fantastic effort. Toggles don't work after editing the feature.xml and I've been beaten into submission so I'm not reading any more. Thank you again for what may have been easy work to begin and then you get tons of follow-up. It really does cost 10x the dev cost to support a product....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Im glad everything worked out.

P.S. enabling toggles is easily done just reading this one post here :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimbob_sf:
I tried for an hour to run that script and no dice. Seriously, I'll pay you to just make it a script to run from a terminal session. It is far too many keys to punch in a tiny window.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pkopalek:
I'm having trouble understanding the OP here.

So there are flashable ZIP files for the MK7 and MK2 builds.

The instructions do not seem to indicate if Flashing the Zip (Safestrap) is an ALTERNATIVE to using the "Alternative Method" for MK2, or if It's

Step 1: Flash i515vruemk2_tether_unlock_toggle.zip (around 31MB)

Step 2: Follow up with "Alternative Method" toward the bottom for MK2 builds

There's also a Zip called MK2_tether_unlock.zip, and I can't determine if MK2_tether_unlock.zip OR I545VRUEMK2_TETHER_UNLOCK_TOGGLE.ZIP is the one I'm supposed to flash.

OR

If I'm just going to use the alternative method of replacing the APK, is that ALL that needs to be done? In other words, this would not require any flashing (of any kind)?

I just don't want to screw up the instructions here, as I am unable to figure it out after my second reading of the OP!

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] themusicmonkey:
I did the alternative method. It was pretty easy, especially if you have the instructions open on another device.

It requires no flashing, since the script does all the work for you. Just remember to use the correct form, which is either MJ7, or MK2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Sorry I can see why the OP can be confusing. Let me try to help you. Flashing the zip is one method of doing this (the easiest) those are the two zips listed at the top (anything that says toggle in it is meant for safestrap) but if you dont have safestrap then you must use one of the other two methods.

You are correct the alternative method doesn't require flashing of any kind. However I feel I should mention its important to follow those steps exactly. Ill try to clean up the OP when I get time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tshelby73:
Do the script versions have the toggles?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] themusicmonkey:
People have said they had the toggles enabled, but I don't have them. I used the alternative method, so maybe that has something to do with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tshelby73:
K Thanks, I used the old one with script was just wondering if I redid it I would get toggles but appears I would be wasting my time unless I flash the zip I safe strap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Ive tried to develop a method for people who used the old script to enable toggles as well. I posted the method here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49761628 some have had success with it some haven't (I myself personally did have success) if you try it any input on whether or not it worked for you would be helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tshelby73:
I'll give it a try later if I have time after moving.

Hey everyone, my friend was just adding some tweaks to my phone and decided to add this as well. However he renamed the original framework-res.apk file. I REALLY need my phone. Can someone please explain to me how to do this Odin restore and how to fix my phone please!! I have never done it, I don't even know what ODIN is. Thank you so much in advance!

I am on MJ7. IS THERE ANY WAY to take my data off and not lose it?! PLEASE HELP ME! =:::(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Google for "No-wipe VRUEMJ7 odin tar" if you somehow cant find it on xda (you should be able to find it) and download it. Then go to my other thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2578209) and follow the directions from the video in the OP, substitute the no wipe VRUEMJ7 odin tar where the video says to use VRUEMK2 you should be able to solve it from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swizard210:
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I used the file that I downloaded from this link xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507217, but when I tried to use ODIN, via the video in the OP you guided me to, it failed to work. Like I hit "Start" and then in the top left corner it said failed.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Try again, if it fails use a full-wipe odin tar (either VRUEMJ7 or VRUEMK2) theres links for both in my other thread. You will probably lose your data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swizard210:
Dammit. And there's no way to access my data and just pull it off?:before a full wipe? I tried it a few times, but it keeps saying the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
You can try using a pit file with the no wipe odin tar, I also have a link to the pit in my other thread I linked you to. Click pit and select the pit file, and use the same no wipe odin tar. I cant guarantee your data will be saved but you can try that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swizard210:
I am downloading that MK2 right now to try it. If my phone originally had MJ7 and it has knox 4.3 etc. Will I actually be able to put MK2 via odin?

Also any chance you have the PIT file for MJ7? You wrote in your OP in that thread you linked me to that one existed but you didn't link to it in your OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I recommend you read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2606501 also I did include the pit file in the OP of that thread, close to the end in blue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swizard210:
I retried the MJ7 with a different computer and it worked! Thank you so much for you help. You are so clutch. I am so grateful!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimby:
My bad but...

I found this through the search and didn't notice I was in the Verizon section from the breadcrums. So you've probably guessed already but I have AT&T S4 and followed the instructions and now it's stuck on the logo.

If I can gain access, via ssh possibly, can I copy over stock framework and be back in business (I didn't back it up, doh).

Cheers

Jim
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Yes that would work. In safestrap theres a file manager that will allow you to do just that. Remember that framework-res.apk has to have the right permissions, in this case chmod 644.

So after using safestraps file manager to move the correct framework-res.apk over make sure you chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimby:
Thanks for your reply,

I had only just rooted so didn't have SSH set up and I used Saferoot. This means I can get into the recovery but can only use the limited options that saferoot provides.

What options do I have. Is there a way to install Safestrap.apk using saferoot (I tried but couldn't see file), or should I install stock rom, would that even work at this point.

Cheers

Has anyone confirmed this? I have nc5 and would like to know if this works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tulsadiver:
Everyone has to see for themselves but this has worked for every rom I've tried it on including Baja rom 4.4.2. I've upgraded to NC2 and it has worked on Duxter, Blackbox, and Purify (and like I said, Baja). It also has worked on every 4.3 rom I've tried it on that was of a international nature (Foxhound, Echoe, Duxter, Venomous, etc). Other than MJ7 or MK2 stock based roms (I've had both) it has worked every time. Attached is a shot from Duxter 4.4.2. This is no guarantee it will work for you though. I've never heard back from anyone so I don't know about anyone else except for those on the ported international roms threads.

If someone does try this, please let me know whether or not it works for you. It is based off of Surges work but with a couple of tweaks..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Well aside from installing safestrap 3.72? Sure just extract the framework-res.apk from the zip (located in the zip system/framework folder) move/copy the framework-res.apk to /system, set the permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--) then MOVE (do not copy and paste) the framework-res.apk from /system to /system/framework and overwrite the old framework-res.apk. Then reboot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bizmaniz:
Were you able to finally get it to work? I just got a new S4 (warranty replacement), upgraded it to NC5 and flashed this toggle/tether. Works flawlessly.

After towelroot, I installed busybox, then did the terminal command to allow safestrap to install a recovery. Did a backup, then flashed the .zip file. Outside of the 10 minutes or so of the backup, it is really a pretty quick process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimn:
If you use this method is there a copy of the original framework-res.apk saved anywhere? It didn't work for me and I'm seeing something strange since I did it so I'd like to put the original one back if I could. Thanks.

What terminal command did you use to get Safestrap to install recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EinGlo:
Simple question

What is the purpose of the WiFi Hotspot toggle for NC 5? Does this allow me unlimited access to Verizon data? Or is it just simply turning your phone into a router while still guzzling your data? Someone please clarify. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Catrinisin:
Hi Bizmaniz,

Can you elaborate on this a bit for us n00bs? I've successfully used Towelroot and installed Supersu. How do I install busybox? (safely) and which safestrap version did you install? Is there a link to the terminal command?

Thanks!!

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

No this does not give you unlimited data, it just uses your current data plan as you described. This gets around paying Verizon $30+ a month for the hotspot ability.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bizmaniz:
It's primarily for people who still have unlimited data plans and want to use their phone as a hotspot. People who have data caps should already have the hotspot activated and it should be useable.

Okay so I got brave and answered my own questions.

From stock Galaxy S4 with NC5 update, using the following download:

1) Use Towelroot.com to root phone

2) Install Supersu from the play store. Open it, install update, and reboot. (I had to reboot twice for some reason before this worked)

3) Confirm root with Root checker basic app from play store. (optional)

4) Install Busybox from Play store

-Open Busybox and click install. Should work with the new root privileges.

5) Copy the framework-res.apk file from the NC5 download above located in /system/framework, to the SDcard in a folder called NC5. (Renam the file to NC5framework-res.apk)

6) Install a Terminal Emulator from the play store and open it. Use the following commands.

Note: This does back up the original framework in case you want to go back to stock again. Do these in the order listed!!

All commands below are CaSe SeNsAtIvE

a) su

b) busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

c) busybox cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk /mnt/extSdCard/NC5/NC5orig-framework-res.apk

d) busybox cp /mnt/extSdCard/NC5/NC5framework-res.apk /system/NC5framework-res.apk

e) busybox chmod 644 /system/NC5framework-res.apk

f) busybox mv /system/NC5framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

g) reboot

I now have the latest 4.4.2 update with working tether!! Big thanks for everyone's hard work!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Artimis:
Hate to bring up an old post but was this ever resolved? I'm currently running Alliance ROM on my GS3 and running into the exact same issue. I cannot enable bluetooth tether when wifi is enabled.

This restriction is not present on 4.1 or 4.2 ROMs (e.g. Beans 18). It seems that this is a general 4.3 ROM issue and I haven't found a way to get around it. The post I referenced has been the closest progress to tackling this I've been able to find.
