[General Questions and Answers] Grija:
Hi Guys,

I have a few questions about cyanogenmod, safestrap, and the lovely ATT MF3 bootlocker that is ruining my day. By the way, thanks for all the information you all give, it's helped me understand this process. Even though many people don't post, I'm sure they're glad to have your opinions as well. I have an ATT MF3 SGH-I337. I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod 10.2 using safestrap 3.65. I run into difficulty when I install the 10.2 zip file on the second partition. I've installed the kernel module and was able to successfully install 10.2 (according to SafeStrap), however when I restarted my phone it simply sat on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen. It was only soft bricked and I was able to reinstall the stock ROM. I'm about to start the entire process over and I thought that it would be really nice to get an expert opinion on where I'm going wrong.

I have a few questions:

1. Does CyanogenMod 10.2 work with Safestrap 3.65? If not, will 10.1?

2. Should I also install the kernel module on my stock partition?

3. Is there any way that I can limit the stock partition to barely usable? I plan on going Cyano and never looking back.

Thanks in advance,

Grija
[General Questions and Answers] Grija:
I ended up getting SafeStrap on my phone, but I still can't get cyanogenmod on there. Also, my phone's 4G on the stock rom isn't working, despite having the kernel modules.

Any thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] Grija:
Alright, I've got the modem back. I had to Odin my modem (phone) and CSC. This killed the settings I just set up, but it did fix the modem issue. Back to Cyanogenmod.

I should just be grabbing the latest RC, installing a new virtual ROM, applying the kernals, and flashing the ZIP... correct?

Thanks,

Brandon

This is a thread for those of you who want to discuss anything to do with getting internet Bluetooth tethering up and running on US model phones

You'll probably get more help posting in your device thread, but others may still be able to help you here

In short, most (if not all?) US providers remove internet tethering from their roms. Even if you add the option into settings, you may still need to apply for a special tethering option through your provider

Unsupported roms:

Darth Stalker

Supported roms:

International T-Mobile

Lion Rom 4.3 (International) (Note 2)

Verizon Note 3

Echo international (Tmobile Note 3)

Note 3 International

T-Mobile GS4 + Gear

Brendo, thank you for starting this thread. I just got the 4.3 update for my T-Mobile GS4 and was disappointed that it still lacks the bluetooth tether functionality. After searching across T-Mobile forums for a fix, I've only seen the workaround link you posted for the Note 3.

Anyone know if there are specific files from that fix that could also be used to work with the T-Mobile GS4?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dchandler326:
Ok good news, I just installed this Rom on my T-Mobile Note 3 and bluetooth tether is working great. I will update with anything else I find
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
DragonsAir worked, but I did not like the theme. I liked some of the theme but not all. and could not figure out how to revert parts of it back to stock, or another theme. They all seem to be all or nothing and since I don't know where item's are stored i just decided not to have any theme.

If anyone has an old android device hanging around you can always just throw CM10/11 on there and tether the gear to that. It's what I have been doing at home to update apps and move files around.

It's by no means ideal but I thought I'd throw it out there in case it helps someone else.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SkipKelley:
Not being a jerk, but the Sony was degined to connect and the Samsung Grea was not. The fact that FOmey made it possible at all alows us to connect. I had to buy a T-Mobile phone to be able to flash an international ROM.

Give it some time and Devs will get it working on US Carriers ROMS. Remember this has only been out for a little over 2 months. Currently Most US/Canadian providers have disabled this feature
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Obviously he has bluetooth tethering included in his plan.

VERIZON SHARE EVERYTHING!.

Verizon no free tethering.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dieracks:
Just asked him about it and he has nothing special on his plan. His plan and mine are pretty much the same. I believe tethering is free now with the Share Everything plans as is mobile hot spot.

He and I believe that the watch management app for the Sony watch has something to do with why he has internet access on his watch but who knows.

Here's my setup.

Verizon Wireless (USA) Note 3, stock rom, rooted.

Samsung Gear, rooted, Null 15

Unlimited data plan.

I'm using Foxfi and Wi-Fi tethering is working fine.

Bluetooth tethering turns on in the phone with Foxfi and connects to my Gear. But in Gear settings when I click the "Internet Access" button, it checks itself then immediately unchecks itself.

Any idea what is going on and how can I fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] znube63:
That's because you don't have BT Tethering checked on your phone. Gear internet won't work with third party aps like Foxfi. It only with the native phone BT tethering....

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] StaticMatt:
No such zip exists so far for AT&T stock ROMs. Tried actually editing the files needed but could never get it to actually enable in the Gear side, only luck with flashing an international based ROM.

To the Verizon user, that sounds right. A lot of the US ROMs remove functional BT tethering, even for their paying tethering customers, and opt for WiFi tethering which does the Gear no good. International based ROMs are the way around that so far.

Stock unrooted tmobile note 3 using foxfi and null rom 18 with pdanet working for me.

I watched the video in this thread which is for verizon and some of the tmobile apn setting in the post to get free tethering on my unrooted Note 3. But I use foxfi instead of the other app mentioned as I don't want to use widgets. Plus foxfi has bt as tethering option to work with null 18 rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48425737&postcount=25

So basically I set up foxfi first on my phone but dont activate foxfi yet.

Then I created an apn and name it whatever I want. I chose to name mine foxfi. In the apn box I put fast.t-mobile.com and left the rest blank. For verizon just follow the instructions in the video. For AT&T I think as long as you know what to enter in the apn this will work also.

Now to tether on tmobile I select my new apn.

Activate foxfi bluetooth tethering. You will get this pop up. Hit yes.

On the gear open pdanet and click configure. Mine was previously configured that's why it says it's already paired and have the connect button.

Click on "tap here to start scanning"

When you see your phone tap on it

Now hit "connect"

When you get this screen scroll down and check "I trust this application" then press "ok"

Once you get this screen you're done.

Test internet

Oh and you need to buy foxfi. The free version only allows you I think 5 minutes to tether.

Hopefully I didn't miss a step. Doing this at 3am trying to keep awake so I can finish it before bed.

Also as I mentioned in the beginning I use this to wifi tether my tablet (haven't tried my PC yet). If you get pop up saying your plan doesnt support tethering when you activate foxfi just ignore it by hitting the home button.

When you're done make sure you select your default apn again. I forgot to do this last time and I couldn't make some calls.

It was fun and cool being able to surf and stuff on the gear but it's way too slow and too small of a screen so I only do it to show off to my friends haha.

Has anyone had any luck with BT tethering on the AT&T Note 2 (or for that matter the AT&T S4 or even S3)? It's ironic that upgrading to TW 4.3 gave us instant compatibility with the GG but took away FoxFi/PDANet functionality. I no longer can use hotspot or do any kind of BT tethering (let alone with the GG).

So close, and yet so far...

Thought I would share my experience, which was nearly successful.

I have a T-Mobile GS3 LTE SGH-T999L. I've updated to the latest OTA, UVUBMK4 to be exact, and have rooted it.

I installed a Zip posted here in the T-Mo GS3 development forum. I've also decompiled and made the mods to framework-res.apk myself, same changes as were made in this Zip, but I always got bootloop. Installing this zip, however, did not cause any problem.

I was able to enable Bluetooth tethering, and paired it with my Gear watch running null_19 rom, and checked the box to use the Bluetooth for internet access. On the GS3 under Bluetooth, paired devices, I clicked on the gear icon for my Gear, and there was an active Internet access profile. But the Gear was still unable to access the internet. The "use for internet access" checkbox in the BT settings for my GS3 would also keep unchecking itself after a minute or so. Tried BT Auto Connect for that, but it was no help.

I had the same, almost successful result pairing another T-Mo GS3 to my modded GS3. No internet access, but all the indications looked correct. It looked like it was working, but it didn't.
