Does this do anything differently than using android-wifi-tether? I have used that for years.

I don't want to get caught tethering without paying, can Verizon see the difference?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gtofan350:
Native just means you can use the hotspot app that comes with the phone out of the box. No need for installing an app like WiFi tether or foxfi. Load the zip from cwm and open the Verizon hotspot app, enjoy.

Is there any chance this causes extra flags at big red? Using their tether app as opposed to a third party app possibly setting off flags that tether is running without an added plan as opposed to 'this person has an app using a lot of extra data, oh well'?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] runandhide05:
Native tethering is built into android aosp. Vzw or most US carriers add an overlay to have the native tether check with a off site server to see if you are "allowed"to tether. What this mod, and most mods do, is removed the overlay so that no additional provisions are checked before tethering us allowed.

That said the standard disclaimer that goes with ALL mods of this type is :

Any carrier "could" detect tethering bla bla bla.

I attached the screenshots of the software versions and the default.xml (had to zip it so i could attach - 7zip)

I am stock, rooted, S-OFF, TWRP and used your zip to enable wifi with no issue and I wanted to say Thank You Very Much!

I had extracted all the images from the OTA and decided instead of flashing individually just to flash the entire thing. I replaced the default.xml from backups, re-flashed the recovery, installed OTA from recovery, flashed TWRP and profit.

After that I decided to make a couple of update.zip so the OTA would pass verification on default.xml and all is great. That said have you considered posting something like:

DisableTether_1.12.605.11_VZW.zip

DisableTether_1.55.605.2_VZW.zip

Since its your patch and all I really did was replace the containers with the original default.xml from each version I didn't feel it was my place to post them.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] elevatorguy:
Do you have to upgrade or will the old version still work? Also is it normal to still get the pop up stating you need to subscribe mine seems to work just fine but still get that pop up. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] netboy3:
One suggestion is to have your updater-script modified to verify the build.prop of each ROM version. I know there will be some folks that will overwrite their default.xml with the wrong version.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dm5530:

Hi! For some reason, this semi-breaks music functionality.

My thread is linked here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2731406

EDIT: To clarify, how I found out about this was that I deleted data and cache and installed the stock rooter 1.55 rom from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2731893

I checked music functionality everytime I rebooted. After I flashed this mod, the music functionality broke. I reflashed the stock rom and the music functionality was working. I flashed the mod again, just to double check, and the functionality was indeed broken again.

To anyone else having this problem, please refer to my thread

Music

I am having the same issue with music but I am not sure what is causing it I did not have time to test over the weekend but I will try to tonight and post some logs. Basically I can play songs perfectly fine through the speakers. However when I try with headphones it will play the first song but once finished and it tries to go to another track it will show its playing on phone but no sound comes out. Sometimes if I do not close the Dot View case it will play the next song but not everytime. Again I will try to post some logs later this evening for your review.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] linuxthinker:
I suspect the extra support_harman=true option in your default.xml is breaking some people's audio. There's another thread somewhere about the harman option conflicting with the boomsound effect causing all audio to be broken.

It might be worth removing that part of the mod.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brent372:
By the way. It is very easy for your carrier to detect if you are tethering and not paying for it. It is all about IP adresses. More than one IP coming from your device is a dead give away. Now whether or not they check this, or if they care is a dfferent story. But as far as ability of them to determine. Very easy. Very hard to disguise.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DroidRootz:
I just got the M8 - is it safe to let it do a firmware update ?

does tethering still work with the latest OTA update ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] runandhide05:
Yes VZW could tell your tethering in theory it is not due to IP addresses. Just like your home IPS you are assigned only one IP address, and your router assigns IPs to the devices connected. It's the same with your phone. You are only pulling one IP address from vzw's network your phone then assigns ea h device it's own 192.168.x.x IP.

Your ISP can not (as long as your firewall is setup correct) can not see your devices beyond your router. The same applies for hotspot.

Now having said that VZW has so many backdoors into their devices. If you run a stock Rom and even most stock based roms they can see and tell just about everything you do. The question is if they care or want to do anything about it. Anything since two years ago possibly longer they have a overlay that sends data to their servers when ever root is detected.

Case in point from the current overlay on m8

<item type="integer" name="device_root_monitor_report_period">43200</item>

So the point is. Yes their know everything. However at this point in time I don't think they care enough to do anything about it, yet that can change at anytime

Ok, I have T-mobile, and I couldn't find this guide anywhere for the T-mobile variant, so I used it on my T-mobile M8. It worked, just the icons and stuff changed to I'm guessing the Verizon version. Tethering works fine. Do you think it will cause any problems in the future?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] stereo_system:
I tried it just now. It looks like it breaks the ability to edit your hotspot settings (SSID name, password, security type, etc.) Trying the Mobile Hotspot item under "Settings >more >wireless & networks> Mobile network sharing" gives a toasty message of "unable to find an activity to handle this action". Hotspot itself can be toggled on/off, but it looks like it can't be modified. I'm at work now, but will flash clockworkmod when I get home and see what happens.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] stereo_system:
That'll be a big ol' NOPE on the reflash of CWM after the fact. Options are still gone, same toast message on the above page. Attempting to launch the settings from the quick setting tiles just brings me back to the home screen. Taking it back to the nandroid I made right after gaining perma-root with TWRP brought the beloved options back (Of course I had to re-flash TWRP to read the nandroid). Flashing CWM back (after getting the settings back) and installing the .zip again gave me full functionality! Took the bullet...FOR SCIENCE!

TLDR: If you have TWRP installed, don't be lazy like me. Re-flash CWM before installing this. You'll be glad you did.

I got a HTC one m8 from ATT and its been unlocked to work with my carrier in Brazil, VIVO.

I install your .zip and two things happen:

1- The signal of the 4G is very week all the time, i constant get lost signal and it ask me to change network settings from LTE/CDMA to GSM/UMTS and then i only get 3G network.

2- I lost a quick settings button to the battery saving utility from the quick menu.

I didn't backup my default.xml from att. What can i do?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] runandhide05:
if you a copy of your default xml and restore it and probably avoid flashing things not made for your exact phone, stock Rom, and carrier

If you flashed it on the correct base then this would not effect anything you mention all this edits is the default xml to allow tethering. Now if you flashed it on a different base or carrier I'm sorry but it's labeled vzw with the base in the OP
