[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] butter219:
I am weary. Every time there is an update, I have to do hours of research to find the latest work-around to carry my rooted phone into the next version. Now with the advent of the ISIS wallet, my phone did not want to allow me to use the app because it detected my phone was rooted. I've had enough; I just want to return my phone to the factory rom, so that future updates are less of a hassle for me.

My Verizon Note II phone is running Android Version 4.1.2. It was rooted using the Team Win Recovery Project rom with ODIN. Yesterday, I unrooted my phone using Chainfire's SuperUser app. My phone appears to be working normally and there are nearly no signs that it was ever rooted in ODIN Mode. The only giveaway is that TWRP bootup is still there. I cannot successfully update my phone to the next version, and I believe the TWRP bootup has something to do with that. I want to return my phone to factory default. I thank you for any assistance you can provide me with this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] butter219:
I'm going for it.

jcollier, thank you so much for the reply. I visited the thread you mentioned. I'm going to use the information I gathered there to attempt to restore my phone to factory default. The only problem I ran into there is that the link for the 4.1.2 VRAMC3 rom is not working (something about too many downloads and trying again in 24 hours). I really don't want to wait that long just to see if the message will change. I've since gone to the sammobile.com website to see if I can glean something usable from there. Thank you again for your help.

Hi

First, thank you for your great rom, i'm actually using it, and it works great ! :)

I have an issue about updating with OTA, when i flash the rom in recovery, the installation aborted/failed.

It says

"E: Error in data/media/0/mkupdater/ota-mk4.4.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted"

How to fix it ?

Very interesting feature shortcuts in the Task Manager. But how to add my own shortcuts there?
[Moto X Q&A] motoxuser:
I spent a good part of the day reading through all the steps to get my new device (just arrived, 4.4) rooted. I've had several rooted devices before, but always used tools to do it.

Never used adb before, but managed to get the SDK installed and have been playing around with it. That's as far as I got, however.

On my mac, using terminal, I can get adb to see my device (type ./adb devices and it lists it as connected).

When I go through this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2446515

to do any fastboot commands, I always get "waiting for device." Previously I got some kind of pipe error. Yes, usb debugging is on.

I think I'm pretty close to getting flashed down to 4.2.2, just can't get the adb to work.

tl;dr - adb gives me "waiting for device" forever. any ideas how to fix?

Thanks very much!
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
if your phone is turned on when it is connected to the computer then you can't run fastboot commands. you can only run adb commands. If your phone is in "fastboot mode" / bootloader screen, then you can run fastboot commands but not adb commands. Not sure this is your issue but based on your info it is my best guess at where you are having problems.
[Moto X Q&A] motoxuser:
that sounds about right! thanks!

how do I get the phone into fastboot mode/bootloader screen? or better yet, when i'm doing this whole process, in what mode should the phone be and how do I get it there?

1) when I shut it off 50% of the time it will boot loop 20+ times before it boots.

2) Twrp (6.3 i think or something ) won't load the cm 10.2 rom

3) flashboot drives don't load to Comp so that isn't working

4) kernel failures and crashes 7 times in the past 2 hrs.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] dymmeh:
After reading about the Xposed framework I decided to write a module to bypass the validation checks for wifi tethering / mobile hotspot.

This method will allow you to bypass the validation without having to worry about moving around APKs, backing them up, setting permissions, etc. It also will no longer contact the actual servers used to verify if you have permission to use the tether.

This Xposed module works by replacing the list of entitlement apps available in the string array "config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app" with an empty set. This means that the entitlement app is not run at all and defaults to the native tether immediately.

Works with VZW, AT&T, Sprint, DE and non-DE devices running 4.4 or above

Installing

Be rooted and have the Xposed framework installed

Search for and download "X Tether" under the download section of the Xposed installer

Activate the module in Xposed.

Reboot.

Tether away!

SPRINT ONLY: Change the line ro.mot.tether_dun_required=1 in your build.prop file to ro.mot.tether_dun_required=0

Works great on Verizon Moto X Developer. Great work!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Kittiesoncrack:
Okay so i tried this on Sprint Moto x, I can connect devices to the hotspot but I have no data connection on them. It isnt a issue on my phone, i can use lte on my phone perfectly.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] droiddog:
Thanks for doing this! Do you need WP turned off? I never ran motowpnomo. Thanks again.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dymmeh:
With the way Xposed works you should only need to have WP turned off when you install Xposed itself. The Xposed modules (at least mine) don't modify any system files so there's no need to have WP off when running them.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dymmeh:
The way this module works it only replaces the code that checks to see if you are allowed to tether. The actual hotspot functionality is not touched at all.

Are you on 4.4? Have you ever tried tethering before successfully?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] kbluhm:
Same here. Great work OP, I've removed all my tethering work-arounds in framework-res.apk and VzwEntitlementService.apk and restored the original files. This will make preparation for any future OTA updates a whole lot easier.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Kittiesoncrack:
Yeah I'm on 4.4, the only way I've gotten tethering work is using the app Android Wifi Tether
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dymmeh:
I wonder if anyone else on Sprint can chime in if they have the same problem.

The entitlement app just serves as a "yes/no" before the hotspot app runs. I decompiled Sprints entitlement app code and based on what I saw it should be working fine. Maybe Sprint is doing some extra work elsewhere that I don't take into account. I wish I had a Sprint device that I could try debugging this on.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] krisdb423:
Does this work for t-mobile?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Kittiesoncrack:
I could possibly help you. Maybe we can get someone who also has a Sprint Moto x to confirm it so i know its not just me
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dymmeh:
Sorry, no :( T-Mobile uses a completely different method to determine if you have the ability to tether. It's possible to write a similar module like I did but without having access to a T-Mobile device I wont be able to do that.

hi guys

I have a sprint LG G Flex, earlier i was on 4.2JB firmware and x tether was working real good..

but when I updated to Kitkat 4.4.2 the same module is not at all working or showing even the option to tether..

any tips ??????
[Moto X Themes and Apps] TriTUn:
T-Mobile S4

running rooted (towel root) kitkat 4.4.2 on tmo s4 and along with the sprint mod, and removing the hidden tether apn from the database /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db. allows me to use the built in hotspot app. tethering right now on my pc and have been for a over a month. my tether usage is counted as regular data. my tether is always '0 of 3GB'.

im using v 1.4 of the module!

without the xposed module, the tether apn is recreated by the built in hotspot app.

thanks SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! :D

Is there an alternative for this on verizon for when lollipop comes?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] _Ryan_:
I would like to know the answer to this as well.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dymmeh:
It depends if Lollipop has made any changes to how provisioning works.

If there's no changes, other tether methods should still work until Xposed is working in Lollipop (if that even happens).
[Moto X Themes and Apps] rob6909:
A big THANKS :) to you dymmeh. the X tether module works perfectly on my 1st gen Moto X XT1060 running stock 4.4.4, unlocked BL, rooted and using TWRP 2.7.1.1.

I do have what is hopefully an easy question: There is an ability to change the stock WIFI hotspot network settings to add/change the network SSID AND for select between three security settings: WEP, WPA and WPA2. Will the X Tether mod work if I make any changes/modifications to the default factory WIFI-hotspot settings. At a minimum, I'd like to change the default password under the default SSID to something I can remember..The X Tether Module is running fine under the default stock WIFI Hotspot settings so I thought best to err on the side of caution and ask the question before making any changes to any of those settings or adding a new SSID..
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dymmeh:
Once you're at that point the settings don't matter. You can change them to whatever you want. It's already passed the provisioning portion.

Not working on my rooted Verizon Galaxy Note 3 running android 4.4.2. In fact, having it enabled in xposed prevents my old method of tethering, the app Wifi Tether Router, from working at all.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] eyc:
On Moto X 2013, Verizon, 4.4.4.

Does anyone know what might be the culprit for very slow data transfer speeds? If I run speedtest on my phone, I get 20mb/s, but if I tether and run speedtest on my computer, I get 1mb/s.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] forcedfx:
I have a strange problem that happens when I have Ad-Away active along with tethering turned on. With Ad-Away enabled as soon as I turn on the wifi hotspot it partially breaks browsing on my phone. More specifically, it appears as though page redirects stop working. The browser just sits there trying to load the page but it never finishes. I am using Dolphin Browser as well as my own app that incorporates the Android Webview. Both exhibit the same behavior.

However, when tethered to my phone my laptop can surf without any issue. This strange behavior remains until I reboot the phone. As long as I don't turn on the hot spot everything works normally. It took me a LONG time to finally figure out what the cause was. My next step is to try disabling the host list sources that Ad-Away uses to see if I can narrow it down to one source, and then hopefully, narrow it further down to a specific host entry.

Phone specs are

Verizon Samsung S5 running 4.4.2, rooted. Ad-Away version 2.9.2 (51) and XTether 1.4.

Wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior because I haven't been able to find anyone else mention anywhere else.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] DssTrainer:
Just to be clear, it still works fine with the 1.1 X tether.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] droidzer1:
I got tethering to work with this on a Galaxy S5 that is on Tracfone's new BYOP 4G program. First time I've been able to get tether to work on any tracfone. I suspect tracfone doesn't care for that since they and straight talk are basically the same people. If you do this get a browser extension that changes your user agent string so your desktop computer browser appears to be an Android browser. For Firefox there are a number of extensions that will do this. I'd use the user agent switcher by Chris Pederick available from Mozilla Firefox.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] dymmeh:
Why don't you just go into the phones settings and enable tethering there? The quick action buttons show up based on what settings you are using. So if you returned to stock and never used wifi tether your phone won't show that action. Just keep using the settings for a little and it should show up in the quick actions.
