Just tried on Verizon stocked rooted with PIE and it didn't work. Any ideas? I do have root because I used root checker but its saying Verizon won. Nice touch lol

Edit: so I just tried the 1.1 version and it worked but when I go into the stock WiFi tether option, it still looks for subscription.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
That was my bad I accidentally changed the su call from su to /sbin/su, I changed it back and reuploaded it so it should work fine now.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] tu3218:
Just downloaded 1.2 again and it failed for me. 1.1 said it worked for me when I clicked it, but when I went into settings and enabled stock wifi hotspot, it still searched for subscription.

what version android are you using? i'm hard rooted with slapmymoto on 4.4 with a moto x and i have used the version 1.1 and it works but tuesday will be picking up a new moto x running 4.4.2 and was hoping this was gonna work, also on verizon. here's another app i've used don't like it as well as this one but it works not sure if it will work on 4.4.2 why don't you give it a shot and lmk http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3HSmHGaPlWg

I applied PIE root and then towelroot, and then installed Wireless Tether .apk, configured it and am working with that setup. Is this entitlement check bypass so one can use the native hotspot program? any reason for me to not use the setup I have currently?

moto x verizon
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iBowToAndroid:
Yes, this is for native hotspot, which will always run better than any 3rd party app
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
My app will only work if you rooted with PIE, if you use TR at any point it will not work.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iBowToAndroid:
Why's that..?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
I explained why in the Towelroot thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53936577&postcount=108 and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53960943&postcount=120
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iBowToAndroid:
Ahh makes sense... kind of. I'm not knowledgeable enough to understand the dev-speak as it relates to su calls. But I had forgotten about TR not working on Motos and HTCs
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Basically with SELinux's contexts it add an extra layer of access protection. TR works fine on Moto's, the problem is su is install with the untrusted_app context, basically limiting what su can actually do. So users who root with TR can't run the setprop command as true root, with PIE jcase set su with the kernel context, which gives it basically a lot more abilities. That's why my app will work with PIE and not TR, also if TR is ran after PIE has ran it null and voids PIE's su context, but not vice versus.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] doitinthedirt:
Ok so my new replacement moto x arrived today.. its on 4.4.2, which version of your app is working successfully with Pie root? I already have your version 1.1 downloaded on my laptop and used it on my other moto x running 4.4 full rooted with slapmymoto, and version 1.1 works fine so far on that phone, do I need to download the new app version or use 1.1 on the new phone after rooting with Pie? And will your app continue working after a hard reboot and losing root (Pie) ?

Thanks

Sprint moto x 4.4.4 works perfect thank you...
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dmonleo:
Yep this app is perfect... Guess I'll need to be leaving a donation soon!!! You can hold me to it. "See the way my bank account is set up... "
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
All versions should work with PIE, it will not work after reboot you will have to reroot with PIE then use my app.

Awesome glad it works for Sprint now!

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] doitinthedirt:
well i'm firing the laptop up going to try and root with Pie.. do i need the android adb on the laptop or can i simply root it with pie using command prompt?

Well downloaded ADB sdk and learned how to use.. rooting with Pie was cake.. and you do have write cape while rooted with Pie.. I was able to delete and rename files in root directories.. 3c ota files were both renamed to bak files to stop any further ota from checked and downloaded.. also deleted google maps and put an older version on that I like better.. was all fine...... until i rebooted.... BAM all my mods were unmodified.. the old maps were gone new was back... and the ota files were returned to apk files.. well the Pie root only takes about 1 minute to root so thats good. and your entitlement app did work fine also.. until the reboot.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iBowToAndroid:
That's because Pie is a temproot and does not have full /system RW access
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
First this belongs in the PIE thread not mine, second did you not read the PIE thread? Moto has emmc level /system write protection, so even if you obtain root you can't write to the /system because it will return back to previous state after a reboot!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] doitinthedirt:
This is regarding your app, maybe others are interested in knowing what I posted.. and moto x is writable if rooted with slapmymoto on android 4.4 im on mine now and it survives reboot fine. My brothers moto x is the one i am referring to in this thread.. he broke his first one that was rooted with slap on 4.4 and i got a free new replacement from moto a couple days ago and its on 4.4.2 which will not root via slap and its this one thats not writable.. back to the topic tho.. brand new moto x running 4.4.2 is simple to root with Pie it takes less than 1 minute run 4 adb commands you are done, and than load your entitlement app and you are good to go hotspot on the old unlimited data plan. I did not run towol root if anyone wants to know.. simply Pie root and kryptonite hotspot app.

Not sure if this helps anyone looking on this thread regarding the Droid Razr XT926 running 4.4.2, I know this thread is for the Moto X, but I got directed here while searching. I recently had my phone (Droid Razr XT926) replaced and it had the 4.4.2 update on it. I was extremely upset because I thought that I lost my Mobile Hotspot. After searching with no success, I started messing around myself and found out that if you Freeze the Entitlement check through Titanium it allows the built in Hot Spot to work. So again not sure if it is relevant here but I just wanted to share incase anyone else was having the same trouble.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
If your on Sprint you need to look for this property in the build.prop file ro.mot.tether_dun_required=1 and change it to a 0 then add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to it. Then reboot and see if it works!

Question

I do have a quick question (at least I hope it's quick)...

Has anyone's mobile hotspot just stopped working. I was working just fine up until today and it has completely just stopped working at all. All I get is "Turning Hotspot on", but it never activates. I have no idea what I have done wrong. I have restored the phone to stock and re-rooted and nothing seems to help.

I am dying without my hotspot at work!! Any help anyone can give would be appreciated. If this has been answered in a different thread, I do apologize. I have been looking all day, and it didn't yield any answers.

[MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION] :

I'm having issues with your app on my RW Moto X. I am unlocked.

I intended to use this in place of the "WiFi Tether for Root Users" app that I had been using since your recent update claims to work with RW. The first time I tried, it worked...so I set "apply on boot".

Well I rebooted just to test, and afterwards the bypass did not work. No option for tethering in Settings anymore.

So I disabled the "apply on boot" and rebooted again. After the reboot, I tried running again and it said "failed - Republic Wireless has won again". So I tried again a few seconds later and achieved success - and the tethering option re-appeared in Settings.

OK, so I figured that maybe there was an issue with Apply on boot, so I manually modified my build.prop (backed up the original, of course). Added the line as instructed in the OP, and changed the dun line to "0". Then I rebooted again. Still no dice - no tethering option in Settings.

Now, when I run the entitlement bypass (after having modified build.prop), it says "Entitlement has been bypassed" (which I would expect..), but still no tether option.

I'm curious if I'm missing something. I'm thinking that perhaps RW killed this with their latest update to the RW app. Checking the play store, the latest update to the RW app was on 8/20 (3 days ago).

Any insight or thoughts? Looks like I may have to go back to using the Wifi Tether for root users app.

Also want to note that even though the app states that the entitlement has been bypassed, the tethering option is missing from settings, AND my widget for toggling the hotspot does nothing now.

I appreciate any input on this. Any other RW users having issues? I'm completely stock other than root, Xposed, and AdAway.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] BriCo84:
What carrier do u have? If u have Verizon u can do what I did. I renamed the VZWEntitlement.apk and dropped in the one from xda and stock mobile hotspot works perfectly
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Thanks for pointing this out, you're the first RW person to reply. I forgot to add the other two properties that need to be set for RW users on boot, I apologize about that I will try to get an update out later today. I need to add in a delay in the apply on boot for people using my TowelPieRoot app. So my entitlement bypass app doesn't try to run before TowelPieRoot roots the phone.

For RW users who don't mind editing your build.prop file then y'all need to add the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true, and change these two properties ro.mot.tether_dun_required=1 to 0, and ro.tether.denied=true to false.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] samwathegreat:
Great, thanks! I wasn't aware of that third property: ro.tether.denied

Working perfectly now.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Yeah I found that property right before I released the v1.2 update, and apparently I didn't add the command to change that property on boot for the XT1049, before I released it sorry about that.

Can I go into the build prop with root explorer and simply add this line. If not I'll gladly use the app lol

[Moto X Themes and Apps] iBowToAndroid:
Not unless you're using a custom launcher

That worked for some and didn't work for some. Personally, I'd try the app first before you go messing with your build.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] a1exus:
I tried app and it seems like works fine (Thanks again [MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION]), now I'm gonna try adding net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to my build.prop file and removing app.

Moto X XT1060 4.4.2 Verizon

This is an excellent app! Been using for about a month and it works perfectly. My main reason for rooting is to use my unlimited data plan for tethering to my computer. I got my Moto X out of the box, so I was able to start with a new, unused phone. Step 1, I allowed OTA to update my phone to 4.4.2. Step 2, Used TowelPieRoot to root my phone: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/themes-apps/root-towelpieroot-motorola-devices-t2825059 3) Used App Quarantine by ramdroid to Quarantine (freeze?) MotorolaOTA to prevent update to 4.4.4. 4) Used Entitlement Bypass for tether.

Works like a charm. Thanks so much!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] SR3TLAW:
It does work great. To bad it I have to enable every time phone restarts
[Moto X Themes and Apps] 1eyebrother:
Worked perfect. Thanks!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] reyxlp:
Is there a way to undo the bypass?

Will uninstalling the app undo everything it modified when it was installed and run?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jrredho:
I just acquired a 2013 Moto X (Verizon, Dev Ed), which I immediately bootloader-unlocked, flashed twrp, and rooted. I had Wifi Tether on my old phone, and I'd like to figure out how to set up wireless tether on this one. A quick search led me to this thread.

The following post begs a couple of questions in my mind:

(1) My phone came out of the box with Android 4.4.4, and, since this poster was specifically avoiding that rev, I have to ask whether or not anyone out there has since confirmed that the app works with 4.4.4?

(2) Also, from the OP, there may of may not be some build.prop settings to modify. Since I fashion myself a bit of a minimalist on doing changes to system files, does anyone out there know if the Moto X honors changes to those same values made instead using a local.prop file?

Thanks to all!

cheers,

john
[Moto X Themes and Apps] KidJoe:
#1. To make use of this tool, you must be rooted. Keep in mind, Moto does NOT give out the bootloader unlock code for the Retail and Moto Maker X for Verizon, ATT and a few other carriers. The mention of using TowelPieRoot in that post tells me this user was NOT able to unlock the bootloader. And since you can't root with a locked bootloader when on 4.4.4, that would be why he is avoiding 4.4.4.

note: I am running 4.4.4 on my Dev Ed X for Verizon (with unlocked bootloader and root).

#2 The tool in the OP does work "as is" on Verizon Dev Ed with 4.4.4. Just install it, and use it. Example: See posts 71 & 72 in this thread.

If you have any problems getting this tool to work, you have other options. Like the "Wifi Tether for Root" Apk does work too.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jrredho:
Yes, after looking around here just a bit, I can see that there are a lot of flavors of these devices. It's always a good thing to be reminded of this...

...and thanks for letting me know both of these alternatives. Since I hadn't heard from anyone initially, I found the thread on "Wifi Tether" and just installed that. It's what I was used to using anyway, and it seems less likely (at first blush, at least) that it will be as vulnerable to OTA updates, etc.

cheers,

john
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iBowToAndroid:
You do know that you can't OTA while rooted, right...?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jrredho:
I didn't know that. With other devices I've owned, it was whether or not certain system things were stock, such as build.prop or the recovery image. I know for a fact that my rooted Nexus 7 will take an OTA without unrooting it.

Early on, I was trying to boot my new Moto X with twrp using fastboot without flashing it. Of course, I quickly learned from my experience---and others here---that that doesn't fly with the Moto X. So I guess restrictions on the OTAs for this phone shouldn't really surprise me either.

thanks,

john
[Moto X Themes and Apps] KidJoe:
yes you can, well, as long as stock recovery is on the phone, and you haven't modified the phone too far from stock...

But you're probably thinking that someone with an unlock bootloader roots by flashing custom recovery, and further assuming they likely didn't put stock recovery back on after rooting.

[MENTION=4813021]jrredho[/MENTION] I think what [MENTION=3163377]iBowToAndroid[/MENTION] is alluding to is that if you try to take an OTA without stock recovery on your phone, you'll get stuck in a bootloop (fastboot earase cache will get you out of it), and can not apply an OTA. Further, if you modify /system, certain files, or other parts of the phone too much while rooted, the OTA could fail its pre-flash validation checks, thus preventing it from installing.

Then again, those who use SlapMyMoto/RockMyMoto/PwnMyMoto or other HACKS to root their phone with locked bootloader, could also run into issues with the OTA's pre-flash validation checks causing the OTA Update to fail too.

If you have an unlocked bootloader, root your phone by flashing TWRP (or CWM, etc) and installing SuperSU, then flash stock recovery back on, and run rooted with apps installed that use root, like RootExplorer, Wifi Tether for Root, Greenify, etc. You can take the OTA just fine.

Note: If you install something like Xposed, it will cause the Pre-flash vaildations to fail because it does modify things the pre-flash checks look for.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jrredho:
Hey KidJoe,

Thanks for responding to this, and my apologies for not getting back to you sooner!

This is precisely why I didn't even want to have to flash a non-stock recovery in the first place; I wanted to be able to boot one directly from fastboot, root, then reboot and be done with it. For users like me, who want root for things like Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, and WiFi Tether, and to be able to create and reload nandoid backups, having to do that is an inconvenience. By that I mean in so far as I could have avoided asking Moto for the link to the stock ROM, downloading it, directly extracting recovery.img from it, and re-flashing it.

This is also why I asked in another thread (which no one took the time to help me with!) whether or not the Moto X honors non-stock property values set using /data/local.prop instead of /system/build.prop. I'm too old to be able to keep track of all the changes I make! :)

Thanks again, KidJoe; as is always the case, I'm sure, you've been a great help.

cheers,

john
[Moto X Themes and Apps] h8isgr8:
Ok, so I tried adding net.tethering.noprovisioning=true (using ES file explorer editor) to the end of a copy of my build.prop and renamed the original to build.prop.bak. On reboot I just get a black screen after the boot logo. Luckily I was able to restore the original in TWRP.

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

Thanks

EDIT: So am I correct in thinking I need to make a flashable zip of the build.prop for this to work?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
When you made a copy of the build.prop file did it add copy to the end of the file name by chance?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] h8isgr8:
No, the file was named correctly.

EDIT: Never mind, I'm an idiot. The stupid auto correct kept putting a space between "nonprovisioning" and I didn't notice.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] h8isgr8:
Ok, another problem. When I try to activate the hotspot app it does a subscription check and then gives a message to contact customer service. If I freeze the entitlement apk the hotspot app crashes.

I'm on Verizon stock 4.4.4.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jrredho:
Just so we all know, in an earlier post, you mentioned having a space after "nonprovisioning". Isn't the property "noprovisioning"? Can you re-check your spelling of that property?

Also, I haven't followed this whole interaction, but did you say that this phone was rooted?

good luck,

john

[Moto X Themes and Apps] Davest010:
Any word on this not working properly in lollipop? I added the specified line to my build.prop, and I still get the subscription prompt when I try to start tethering.

Also, I tried running the app, and same result - I still get the subscription prompt.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
It should still work properly on 5.0, what carrier are you using? The X doesn't have 5.0 officially, so you would have to be running a AOSP based rom which I didn't think had the entitlement check app included.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] seandarcy:
Anybody tried this with the VZW 5.1 update ?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] imnuts:
Considering there isn't a 5.1 update for the XT1060 yet, at least that anyone has posted or reported, it would be pretty hard for it to work.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Pretty much what imnuts stated until the full 5.1 Vzw update is released I want fully be able to tell. But it works perfectly on my Nexus 6 running 5.1 so there is high chances it will still work on the Moto X also.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] pnwsr6:
Is anyone else having trouble getting the hotspot to work? It's been working fine until last week. Not sure why its not working anymore. Did Verizon change something again that I just haven't found the solution to yet?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iBowToAndroid:
Interestingly enough, my hotspot has always worked fine until recently. Now it won't. It'll start up, but devices can't connect....

Just noticed it today
[Moto X Themes and Apps] pnwsr6:
I can get my tablet to connect, but it can't get DATA. Got my wife's phone to connect, and it cannot use data either. The more I think about it, I think I remember an update for the hotspot app, not for sure. I'm going to try some things to verify, because if it did, I can't uninstall the update. Will have to use a backup. Will let everyone know what I find out.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] pnwsr6:
Well that took forever. Finally found the culprit, and it was and app called gas buddy. Long story short, a recent update causes WiFi problems, that affect tethering also for what should be obvious reasons. Looking through the comments of the app on the play store, droid maxx is one of a few phones affected. Not sure when or if they will fix it but uninstalled the app and WiFi and tethering immediately started working correctly without a reboot. For anyone having this problem, sorry it took so long for me to figure this out. Hope it helps someone. If I'm the only one that had this problem, well I'm just lucky I guess.:D
