Rooted Stock Rom, manually installed services.jar & services.odex files via rom toolbox, stuck on reboot. any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cruise350:
Install a custom recovery and flash the mod instead, sounds like you forgot to set the permissions correctly after you copied over the files.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] vgsantiago:
Back online, much thanks posted the details in the other thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2646762&page=45), going to try the hotspot mod again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] domhall:
I'd love to try your 4x6 if I may...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MeWarning:
The hotspot is working and everything, the only problem I'm having with it is it's not letting me connect more than one device to it at a time. Any idea on how to fix that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cruise350:
Hit configure, than pan down in the pop up window till you see advanced options, put a check in it, then you can pan down more and select the channel and maximum connections you want to allow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MeWarning:
Perfect, thanks! I forgot I had to do that the first time I unlocked it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ponycarboy:
Do you have a fix for Sprint with kitkat software L720VPUFNA7 I had my phone flashed at Sprint store and instead of nae I have NA7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cruise350:
That's because you have the 720T version not the 720. Which is what 99% of the people in this forum have. You could try making a copy of you services.jar and services.odex file and sending them to fgr, to see if he can make a mod for you 720T folks. You would have to be a Guinea pig fir it though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fgr:
The whole odex thing would be the problem. Modifying the file is done while in its deodexed state. Deodexing is very easy. Re-odexing it after its modified is what's complicated. The method I use is actually done on the phone itself.

When I made the odex version for NAE, I had to flash the stock odex rom to do the mod.

Long story short, without a 720T phone in hand, I can't do it.

If you can get a deodexed rom on your phone, it probably wouldn't be a problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] briansteedman:
LFMF folks.

Here's what I did. Instead of flashing the .Zip file of the odex'd version of the hotspot mod, I extracted the two services files from the zip and manually put them in the system/framework/services folder, exactly as I had done with the MK2 hotspot mod, in order to save and rename the original service files there. Because, well, I don't like not being able to go back once I've gone whack.

BIG MISTAKE. HUGE.

Phone rebooted fine the first time for about five minutes, then I got the "Unfortunately the !@#$%%^&^( Service has stopped" persistent error that locked up my phone. So what did I do? After spending a few hours trying to get back into the Root Browser to delete the modded files after reboots when the phone would sort of let me navigate before the errors kept locking up my phone, I hard reset the phone.

ANOTHER BIG MISTAKE. HUGE. COLLOSAL

The errors came back on the welcome screen and wouldn't let me use my phone at all. I was now the proud owner of a soft brick paperweight S4.

On top of all that, at the time (two days ago) there was no stock .tar file from Sammobile to download for 4.4.2. So I couldn't fix it. Until this morning. Phone is back up and running on the 4.4.2 flashable .tar file that took forever to download from Sammobile. I have since rooted, installed CWM Touch recovery and am in the process of taking a full backup of my phone before trying this again. This time, just installing the zip from my SD card, as instructed. Should this **** the bed in a colossal fail again, I'll just restore from my backup.

I hope my tale may save you the headache that I've endured the last couple days. Make sure you always take a backup of your phone before you do anything like this. Make sure there's a viable reinstall file out there to use before you do anything like this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gabewithkungfugrip:
Anyone figure out how to set up a hotspot toggle on the notification panel for NAE yet? The previous method using sqlite editor isn't working for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] briansteedman:
Update: Did as instructed by the OP and all works well. Thank you!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fgr:
Similar things happen to me all the time. It's just the nature of the beast when messing with system files. In your situation, I simply would have boot into recovery and flash the zip. Probably would have taken care of it.

If not, reboot back into recovery and use adb to push the original files back.

Factory reset only deletes your data, system files aren't affected.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ponycarboy:
Update. I do have the regular L720 and used the FULL NAE flash and it worked great. Then used the odexed hotspot fix and it's working great but it was weird the first few times any one else have that issue before it started working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Foulwx:
I used Philz to totally wipe everything and then directly booted into download mode. Odin'd the full NAE tar from sammobile.com. Used the latest CFautoroot, Odin'd Philz recovery, then flashed fgr's Hotspot mod. Used Titanium backup to restore my apps, and along with Nova launcher and Wanam exposed, everything works and looks great.

Thanks guys!

Edit - also manually edited permissions.xml
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cartmage:
Just wanted to add my success story here as well.

I used the Stock NAE .tar from HERE

Then used CF Autoroot directly from the CF site HERE

Then used the flashable SD card permissions fix found HERE

And finally this mod...

I couldn't be happier with my S4 now, big thanks and +rep to everyone involved!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ulremember:
I am on NAE Stock Rooted.

I installed the {NAE} hotspot mod and it appears to be working flalwlessly.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Darnell0216:
If you read the first post on the original thread, it mentions that Knox'd phones need to use TB Restore Fixer to give any SQL editors the proper SELinux permissions to read/write. This was noted a few days after 4.3 hit when TiBu couldn't restore backups and they released this temp fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gabewithkungfugrip:
Thanks for the reply, but TB Restore Fixer isn't resolving the code 14 error on NAE unfortunately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Darnell0216:
Worked for me and anyone else I know of. You're the first that it didn't work for. o_O

- Run SQL editor, attempt to enter database and get an error

- Immediately after run TB Restore Fixer, click Fix Now and get Success.

- Reopen editor and try again.

The permissions change sometimes takes more than one try to go through.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gabewithkungfugrip:
Yeah, it's just not working. Who else do you know that has tried this method on NAE? I can't find discussion about this anywhere except the ones concerning older firmwares.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dyandell:
I did it as described and it works fine on my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gabewithkungfugrip:
Do you guys have the NAE bootloader installed too or just the modem/rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dyandell:
NAE everything. I flashed it on the first day it came out. This past weekend I used the NAE tar to get back to stock, then rooted again. The hotspot works fine. The only problem I have had with the hotspot is when I tried to use it with Negalite's ROM but that is a known issue they are working on now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Gabewithkungfugrip:
Thanks. I think you may be thinking I was talking about the hotspot mod itself not working. It works fine. I was talking about setting up the toggle for hotspot in the notification pull-down menu.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dyandell:
That works as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] VandyCWG:
Any idea about a hotspot mod for the T model, MK5/NAF bootloader?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] vgsantiago:
Are you running NAE? Can't get mine configured using SQLite, getting error code 14 while trying to modify the settings storage database
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dyandell:
Yes. I flashed NAE the day it came after downloading to my SD card and I last weekend I used Odin to go back to stock NAE, then rooted again. I still have the toggle. Not sure why you are having so much difficulty. I have also seen some posts about WIFI tether on Negalite's thread and I think a few other places. Maybe this would be a better fix for you if you cannot get the toggle working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kamelda:
After modding new apps force close

Tried flashing the odex mod for NAE for SPH-L720 and get the "unable to open" error using PhilzTouch. So I tried the file replacement method like with MK2 mod, it allowed tethering, but every Google App I downloaded after that force closed. I also Wiped cache, etc. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] z50king:
wee, look at me, im posting this from my mk2 hotspot! wee, look at me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] felibon:
I'm on stock rooted NAE just like everyone else. Stock kernel, stock rom, used cfautoroot method. I'm on Phils custom recovery. Downloaded the Odex zip. It flashes fine but my phone won't boot past the yellow Sprint splash screen. Scratching my head over here. Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cruise350:
Delete what ever file you downloaded and download the correct zip again. Stuck at yellow Sprint screen means you downloaded the wrong one. It's really easy to click the wrong one by accident.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] felibon:
I thought I downloaded the wrong file (deodexed) as well. So I tried it again. Same results. Did not but pass the yellow Sprint splash creen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] felibon:
This is the file I downloaded
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] z50king:
Is there a way to log the amount of data that the hotspot has used? Like with wifitether apk it tells you the amount upped and downed. Does the native hotspot tell you that information anywhere?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] vgsantiago:
Sorry if any confusion, the hotpsot (WiFi tether) works, I'm trying to get the toggle (on/off) onto the notification bar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dyandell:
Well, mine was working fine but I flashed back to stock today (I somehow screwed up my nandroid), flashed CF, Philz then the hotspot mod. Now when I go to setup the toggle I get the error 14 message. I did notice the icon for "Settings Storage" that we are supposed to modify is not the green android with the cube in its midsection. It is now a gear. I assume the file type was modified and changed and cannot be modified by the sqleditor. I went into root to see if I could see a difference in the file type but I am not that good that deep in the programming. Anyone know if this is important?

I was able to download "Hotspot Toggle" which works until/if the problem is solved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] unique2me:
Awesome

After coming off Sacs buggy ROM's for the past two months, I'm now running plain ol' Stock Rooted and de-bloated NAE, and flashed the ODEX NAE version using TWRP.

Hotspot is now working flawlessly, no issues at all... Speedtest showing 18.7 down/ 7.6 up.

Thanks so much for the hard work everyone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Darnell0216:
Did you try to use TB Restore Fixer to give the SQL editor permission to edit the storage? I wonder why it works for some people and not for others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] slow_one:
will this work on NAF L720T ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dyandell:
I did do the TB Restore Fixer. I had to do that the first time when it worked. I really think the file type was changed somehow. Instead of the Android icon, it is now a Gear icon. I know that sounds odd but that is the only thing I can see that is different.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] alkataz:
I have the same issue. And when I try to run TB Restore Fixer it tells me "The app was not able to extract a needed file. Please send me a log from the Menu."

I am on stock MAE rooted with CF Root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cruise350:
NO! The hotspot must be for your exact model and software version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] vgsantiago:
Ditto with mine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kamelda:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] enderzero:
Here's an issue it doesn't sound like anyone else has had.

Running Stock Rooted NAE with stock recovery. Verified the root is working.

After installing the HotSpotMod_NAE_Odexed.zip through recovery, I can enable the hotspot, set up the SSID, etc. But then as soon as I connect a device, the phone kicks back the "Hotspot error: You are not subscribed to the Hotspot service..." that you get as if the phone isn't rooted and disables the hotspot.

I've tried reinstalling the zip a few times. Each time I get an error twice (E: Footer is wrong E: Verification Failed) but then it continues and seems to work.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] alkataz:
Okay. I fixed my problem with TB Restore Fixer. I ran it and clicked fix. But I am still getting the error code 14 message when trying to edit the database. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] enderzero:
UPDATE: I installed the latest TWRP recovery and installed through there but it didn't change the behavior at all. Native Hotspot still errors out as soon as anything attempts to connect.

I am running CM11 on an S4 with MK2 deodexed. I flashed the mk2 deodexed file via cwm and never got past the boot animation. Is that because of the .jar file? Can someone give some instruction on what I need to do? For dummies por favor:o

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cruise350:
This mod is for the stock rom. Sacs probably had some of his own mods built in to the services jar file which you just broke by installing this mod. Reinstall your room and use sacs built in hot spot mod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dreamer609:
The rom never worked in the first place to give you hotspot, which is why many posters here were fkashing the hotpot fix of an earlier version of this rom. I was sent that NAE native hotspot link by a person who had it work for him, but it too seems to not work for me and takes down Touchwiz. And yes, I resorted to trying the native NAE hotspot mod, as the built in hot spot mod other people were using did not work for me or other members as well. Although, for many people his hotspot fix did seem to work. I just may be getting lucky :D but I do know I wasn't alone.

Hello, I'm trying to get the native Hotspot working, but there's something weird going on.

Had to risk it and try it... AND it worked! Psh... so lucky... Thanks alot!

Hi Guys

i need Your help. I'm on stock 4.4.2 and install this mod Nae odex, everythink is working with hotspot, but when i install some apps for example ZEDGE™ Ringtones & Wallpapers or audiko ringtones, i can't download wallpapers or ringtones. It's always show download failed, i was back to stock with odin and everythink works. Somethings is wrong with this mod or is just my android?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RioSoul:
There's definitely something wrong with the NAE mod. The previous ones work and have no hiccups, but the NAE one causes apps to freeze among other issues that you mentioned. It would be wonderful if someone could create a NAE mod that actually works without coming along with a whole bunch of problems. Please and thanx.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ingenium13:
It's been working fine for me on NAE. Do you have any other mods installed? Maybe try using odin to reflash the stock image (without deleting data) and then apply the mod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RioSoul:
I'm a smartphone technician and have tested it out on more than my fair share of Galaxy 4's on the official stock version on NAE as these phones come into hands on a regular basis, and it's consistently caused nothing but problems on every phone I've worked on even after reflashing the stock image to the phones (i.e. apps freezing and force closing, apps failing to download from the Play Store, apps failing to open up). It's a nightmare! I didn't encounter any of these issues with the older hotspot mods at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2WhiteWolves:
I'm on MF9 Bootloader with NAE firmware no knox, custom stock SUPER S4 Rom no problems with Odexed NAE hotspot, it is baked in the rom. But even before that on stock rom NAE, flashed odexed NAE hotspot, had no problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Galane:
Does this fix exist for the NC6 build on Sprint S4? Already have it rooted and Knox disabled. Had to force quit every part of Knox before SuperSU could disable it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
No. You can use WiFi tether apps from the play store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Galane:
Finally found a WiFi Router app for $2 that gets around the tethering subscription required that FoxFi and others cannot on the NC6 firmware. But there was also an issue with network settings and being unable to find any 4G or LTE, resolved by dialing ##72786# My sister is happy now she can use her unlimited data phone as a hotspot for her 1 gig limited Tab 3.

That reset had no effect on FoxFi and other tether apps not working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pate201:
I cannot connect to native hotspot. I flashed NAE firmware ver. using custom recovery. I can turn on the hotspot but no notificaiton icon states that "hotspot is activated" ((.)) . Other devices sees it but cannot connect to it. Sprint galaxy s4 4.4.2 L720VPUFNAE. Any suggestion?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] quan74:
Is your radio/modem on NAE as well (check settings, about device, baseband version)

I installed NAE and hotspot using this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54265716&postcount=863

Hotspot works great for me. The only problem I have is adding the mobile hotspot toggle to pull down menu (hotspot works fine when started from settings though). I've tried both sqllite editor and feature.xml methods to add the toggle. I get the "error 14" trying to edit with sqllite, and adding the info to features.xml did nothing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] churchey360:
Iworks fine for me but it always eventually breaks connection after a little while of using it

WiFi Tether Router. $2.50 on the store and you have WiFi tethering on your S4, without paying extra to Sprint. Dunno if it needs root but it does work on a rooted phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] whitelightnin3006:
I just had to get a new s4 since my other one took a chit on me. I am rooted, and running 4.4.2. I have been searching and not really finding much on how to install this hotspot mod on this version.
