What do you guys think about having an accessories forum in this section? It would be nice to document and discuss what ultimately works with the USB port, like remotes, controllers, etc. Not sure if you would call it "Accessories" or what the preference would be, but maybe the Admin will see the discussion and add it, or I could PM him or something and request it.

Can't wait for this! Excellent work!

That would be cool since it does take accessories... first on the list would be more storage! :good:

I haven't tried my PS3 yet but the controller for the Ouya system works perfect. Even the built in touchpad works. Sideloaded a few different games, full touch games should work with the touch remap apps once root is released.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cerberus_:
Fastboot Connection is a Go

I got fastboot working by creating a custom cable. I took two USB printer cables (type A on one end and type B on the opposite) and cut off the two type B ends, after which simply (I, however experimented with all possible wire combinations) splice the two type A ends together by connecting similar transmission lines (i.e. green-Data + to green, ground to ground) . Connect the Fire TV to your PC with this and rebootinto recovery or bootloader via Wireless ADB or power cycle the unit by unplugging it and plugging it in. If this cable is attactched to both the Fire TV andvyou PC during boot it will boot into bootloader automatically. The device driver installed by Windows 8 is "Android ADB (Google)" it gets listed when the devices operand is given in fastboot and it accepts the basic fastboot commands like reboot and continue. That is all I could test as I do not have anything to write to the flash.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcase:
Bootloader is locked, and checks images for signatures. So flashing is out of the question.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cerberus_:
Food for thought

Hmmmm. I wonder if it isn't locked with some flavor of OpenSSL.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robclark:
nope.. there is some good info about secure boot here:

If you are thinking heartbleed, that isn't an option.

Bootloader isn't a problem, I've posted video of booting unsigned code. Problem is finding a root exploit I'm comfortable releasing, and getting a properly working recovery

things to do with the keyboard

things todo with a keyboard

F11 opens Voice Search

F12 takes you home

Ctrl+alt+delete restarts the Fire Tv

Alt+Tab opens recent

Windows key+Tab opens recent

Esc gose back on some things(works mostly in KFTV launcher)

Arrow keys move so dose the num pad when num lock is off

Tab is the play/pause button

Space bar is Play/pause but also is fast forward sometimes only is in pop up keyboard so far

if you hold arrow key left or right in a movie by amazon it will fast forward or rewind

the menu button on the keyboard is the menu on the fire tv

there's a way to boot into recovery mode without adb I don't know if it was because I kept hitting Ctrl+alt+delete during boot up or the fact that I was trying all the keys at once

Warning: DON'T MESS WITH THE VOLUME KEYS because somehow I muted the whole system its a easy fix tho just download a volume manager and side load the apk to your Fire Tv (Via adb)

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigiRay:
Hi all

I'm hopeing someone can help me in some way with my 1st Gen FireTV.

The FireTV I had that wasn't rooted, recieved the FireOS 5.0.5 update and was working fine. I then decided to root using Kingroot and that worked fine. Reading that it installs certain bloatware, I used SuperSU-Me to replace all the Kingroot apps and have the normal SU app instead.

Everything was working fine and dandy. I blocked updates both on my router and on the device using the same command I had used previously on other devices and that was that. I did no more tinkering at all.

On Saturday I rebooted the device (pressing OK and Play on the remote) and now my device won't boot. It shows the white Amazon Logo, that disappears and then it goes to the Amazon FireTV coloured logo. That's it, it goes no further.

I have tried the Alt + Prnt Scrn + I thing, and the 1st time I tried it, it the device did flicker and reboot, but since then, it doesn't recognise the keyboard. I know it doesn't recognise it because I have plugged in a keyboard with LED's on the sides and they light up, but when pressing NUM LOCK, CAPS LOCK etc, those lights don't actually come on, and I've tried 3 different keyboards. Could the combination of changed in FireOS5.0.5?? Could my USB port of some how taken damage?

If I connect it my PC with an A-A cable, while the white Amazon logo is showing, it picks up an ADB Device for a few seconds. That disconnects and then it picks up 4 unknown devices.

Also it doesn't boot far enough in to the OS for the remote to work or have network capability.

It appears to me as if it has gotten stuck at the part where it searches for an update at bootup, but it can't as the "app" is disabled...

Any help would be very much apreciated

Thanks in advance

*** DISCLAIMER ***

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE!

While looking over some aosp code for the settings apk, I stumbled upon a much easier loophole that completely bypasses Verizon's and maybe other carrier's Tethering Entitlement Check app. By setting the net.tethering.noprovisioning property to true, Verizon and other carrier's entitlement check app won't even run, the native tethering will start now as soon as you turn it on. This has been tested on and works on my XT1060 but depending on how other carrier's run their entitlement check app, it could work on other phone models also. So if you test it and it works on the other carrier Moto X's or other phone models let me know!

So for Rom Developers all you have to do is add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to your build.prop file and then you can remove the entitlement check app if you want to. Also if your phone model has any property that has dun_required like ro.mot.tether_dun_required then you will need to change that line from 1 to 0.

For people who don't want to mess with modifying their build.prop file or use xposed. I made an app which requires Root, that will run a setprop command to bypass the check until you reboot. If you want it to last after a reboot you can select apply of boot to run the command after every reboot. This was tested and confirmed by cvhovey thanks to him for testing it for me, since I have free tethering. This is my first app so I hope you Enjoy it! I want to say thanks to jcase's slapmymoto and the developer of adaway, I used their github sources as references when I couldn't get something working. Also androidicons for the icon template, and Poliva for setpropex, and jduck for getting setpropex working on KitKat.

Download Links

v1.2 http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358557764(v1.2 is signed with a different key than v1.0/v1.1 so it will display a msg box telling you this just click okay)

v1.1 http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407584928

Changelog

-v1.2 Update (7/4/2014)

-It can now bypass the read only property's like ro.mot.tether_dun_required and set it to 0 via setpropex for the models like Sprint, and RPW, Thanks to Poliva for setpropex, and jduck for getting it working on KitKat

-Cleaned up the code a lot it was extremely sloppy, still needs some work

-Also I ended up having to create another key to sign the app, thanks to the android L sdk update that screwed up my dev environment, and I ended up accidentally deleting my keystore

-v1.1 Update (5/8/2014)

-For v1.1 I added checks to grab the phones model number and then apply certain commands specific to those models
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cvhovey:
As mentioned in the OP, I can confirm this works. Thanks for posting this app!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] The Tallest:
Damn, I spent a few days trying to figure this out on my own a few weeks ago and couldn't get it to work. Needless to say I gave up. Good find!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Thanks, I just happened to stumble across it while looking over the dex2jar output of the Settings.apk.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Kittiesoncrack:
for this to work on sprint, you would also need to change ro.mot.tether_dun_required=1 to ro.mot.tether_dun_required=0 in build prop
[Moto X Themes and Apps] hartv427:
Very nice app you made here works perfect
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Awesome thanks for the feedback!

Hmm so sprint doesn't run their entitlement check as a provisioning app nice to know, I will look into putting in a check to grab the model number and set the right props in the app. Thanks for the information!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Kittiesoncrack:
I believe sprint does use the entitlement check but the tethering won't allow data without the tether dun edit in build.prop
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Gotcha thanks for info!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] imnuts:
The easiest way, that works on every carrier that I know of, is to just edit framework-res.apk and remove the provisioning app from the XML so that it defaults to native tethering setup.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
How is that easier than my way? By adding net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to the build.prop file it launches the native tethering instantly by bypassing the framework-res all together. At least for Verizon for which I made this for, I said it could possibly work on other carriers I never said it would. I made the app for people who don't want to modify their system at all, by either adding that line to the build.prop file or decompiling, editing, recompiling, and replacing the framework-res.apk. To me that seems to be a whole lot easier, a high percentage of users on this forum don't know how to properly replace a system apk much less edit it properly. So I was trying to help them out by simplifying it for them.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] hartv427:
I think the app is fantastic ... I have modded my own farmework.res.apk which works and also modded my own VzwEntitlementService.odex which works as well ... The bottom line is I'm using your app because it's simple and works perfectly without any system mods. :good:
[Moto X Themes and Apps] imnuts:
The method I suggested works on all carriers, not just VZW. Another user posted that you need something else for Sprint for this to work. Sure, your's is quite simple, but it isn't universal.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
I never said it was universal, I said it possibly could be I have no way of testing other carriers. That's why I said for other carrier users to try it if it works great let me know, if it doesn't oh well it was a shot.

If you don't think it's universal or don't think it's the easiest way for VZW Moto X owners. Then that's your opinion not mine, but this thread isn't the place to debate it out. Now if you don't mind can we drop it and get back on topic please?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] pbaldw10:

Sorry for not replying before now, I've been focusing on my rom thread and my new job and haven't had time to check this thread. I'm glad it worked thanks for the feedback!

Your welcome, I'm glad it helped you out.

I added v1.1 to the OP that runs certain setprop commands depending on your phone model. Let me know if it works for everybody or doesn't!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] MugZ91:
Works great on unlocked, stock rooted DE edition Moto X.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] gitit20:
Great app and idea any plans to add the sprint support for this?

Thanks for the great work bud
[Moto X Themes and Apps] ebidar:
Thanks for this great app. Works great on DE Verizon moto x.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Glad to hear thanks for the feedback!

With v1.1 I added some checks that check the model number and run certain commands based on that. For the Sprint model it is it suppose to run the additional setprop command. I haven't had anybody test and report back if v1.1 works with Sprint or not, so test it out and let me know, I'm still curious.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] gitit20:
Sure will give this a shot and report back.

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

OK it installed fine v1.1 and ran the program and did the bypass (I take it this is until I reboot the phone then have to again correct?)

It let the tether app run and I was able to connect my notebook but I was unable to get any data through it restarted the tether app once and then the 4G kept going on and off. Tried a couple more tines but no go.

I'm going to update my profile and all that and report back after some more testing. Not sure if this is NY phone or the app lol

I am rooted with an unlocked boot loader.

Edit still not able to get it to work thanks for your work on this bud.

Does this use ADB by chance?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Hmm okay can you run these commands either via Terminal Emulator or from adb the first command is "getprop net.tethering.noprovisioning" the second is "getprop ro.mot.tether_dun_required" without the "" of course. The first should return true the second should return 0 let me know if that's what you get after the getprop commands.

I'm am still kinda new to android coding but I don't think it uses adb, I might be wrong though. It executes a setprop command through the runtime exec process. Basically it executes two terminal commands back to back to set those property values, it doesn't use the adb service but the commands can be run from adb if that makes sense. The net.tethering.noprovisioning property bypasses the entitlement checking app. The ro.mot.tether_dun_required property is set to 1 in the build.prop file on certain models, and has something to do with blocking the data to tethering, which is the problem your having.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] gitit20:
Here is what I get see attached pic This is after running the bypass. This does revert back after a reboot correct and you have to bypass again correct?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] gitit20:
Did the screen shot help any?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Sorry apparently I forgot to hit reply the other day, yeah the screen shot helped me see that I'm a goober, I forgot you can't use the setprop command to change a read only property. So I won't be able to alter it via terminal commands, I will be looking into adding in a way to actually modify the the ro.mot.tether_dun_required property from 1 to 0 in the build.prop file.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] gitit20:
OK let me know when you have another version to test :)

Ivdo have an unlocked boot loader rooted and stock rom but also have unsecure ADB installed
[Moto X Themes and Apps] gokart2:
Pretty simple to do manually for most people. Use a file explorer, set it to r/w capability. Then edit the build.prop, the reboot and check to see if it is still what you altered it too.

Anyway, If you flash your apk and manually change it......gonna try it.

EDIT:

Flashing the APK, then manually editing the build.prop for the extra Sprint provision works perfectly. COuple questions....

1. Does the APK add the

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

to the build prop, or just bypass the check somehow? I didn't see it added, or anywhere in the build.prop.

2. If I manually edit and save the

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

to the build prop, I can remove the APK correct?

Big thanks for this!

[MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION] adding the line to my build.prop did not work. Moto X DE stock 4.4.2. Does the entitlement app have to be removed?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Okay let me see if I'm still awake enough to answer all this lol. First the app was originally made for the Verizon model it doesn't require the extra build.prop edit that the Sprint model does. Yes adding the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true property to the build.prop file is easy for most people. But there are a lot of users on here, that in my opinion have no business rooting, but since they do anyway I made this app to set the property basically via a terminal command. Which means it isn't permanent and doesn't alter any files for people who are completely stock and rooted just to bypass the entitlement check.

No you don't need the app if you are okay with adding the line to the build.prop file. One more thing what do you mean when you say flashing the apk, you don't flash apk's you install them?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Are you on Sprint by chance? Check your build.prop file to see if this line "ro.mot.tether_dun_required=1" is in it if so change it from 1 to 0 then it should work.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iBowToAndroid:
No. Sprint doesn't have a DE.

But I'll let that one slide since you're tired :p

Edit: ok now I haz a confused. App worked great. But why wouldn't it when I modded the build.prop myself? What else does the app do?

Also, your donation link returns an error page. Fix it, and a beer is yours
[Moto X Themes and Apps] gokart2:
Thanks for the reply. LOL....yes, I meant "install". For some reason I was thinking I "flashed" it via recovery.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Yeah that's a duh on me, I was on the struggle bus last night after work lol. The only thing I can think of when you added the line to the build.prop was you might have spelled it wrong, I've done it some many times it's not funny. Or you didn't reboot after modifying it so the property gets set on boot. The app just uses the setprop command to set the property on the fly it isn't permanent, you have to check apply on boot for it to set it every boot. Or if you want it permanent then add the line to the build.prop and that will set it every boot. I fixed the donation link I accidentally put my websites link in instead of my email.

Your welcome, okay I figured you meant install I just wanted to make sure lol.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iBowToAndroid:
See that's why I'm confused. I edited, made sure it stuck - and was spelled correctly - rebooted, made sure it still stuck, and then tried hotspot. When I turned on hotspot, it did the "Checking subscription status..." and then for a split second it looked like something was gonna pop up and then it did it again, and then finally came back with the error.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] lakedubvt:
VZW moto x 4.4.2 rooted with Pie. This app works great. I was having trouble with the root Wifi tether app and did not want to use Xposed. Thank you for this solution.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Hmm if the Checking subscription shows up when the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true property isn't getting set, that shouldn't come up if that property is set.

I'm glad it helped you out, I wondered if it would work for people rooting with Pie.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iBowToAndroid:
I don't feel like going back and re-doing it to test, but anything that I missed other than adding that single line to the bottom of build.prop, saving, and rebooting?

Wanted to post a success story with the Razr HD XT926.

Total reversal of my first attempt on a DE Moto X. This time, running the app did NOT work - it said successfully bypassed, but still checked subscription when launching hotspot. Even though Apply on Boot was checked, after a reboot, the app showed entitlement was once again not bypassed.

Decided to do the manual method and worked like a charm. This was done on KK with towelroot.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Just updated the OP with v1.2 the app should now work for bypassing entitlement for models that had the read only property ro.mot.tether_dun_required=1, and the ro.tether.denied=true property on the Sprint, and Republic Wireless models. One thing v1.2 is signed with a different key than v1.0/v1.1 because I accidentally deleted my keystore. It will display a message box saying it was signed with a different key do you want to install it just click yes.
