I have one for you guys to figure out

I've been up all night trying to figure this one out and I'm stumped and tired.

Long story short...I formatted my PC with Windows 7(just doing normal maintenance) and installed all my drivers etc. and couldn't get my phone to connect to the internet. For hours I thought something was wrong with my computer until I used my old phone that has CM10 on it and my PC connected right to it and that is what I'm actually using right now to type this. As I speak my G3 is tethered to my other computer running Vista with no issues. I've been tethering my G3 on both PC's from the day I got it 3 months ago and never had issues until I formatted my PC last night. But I know the Windows 7 PC is working because I'm tethered on it right now yet it refuses to go online with the G3. Yet my G3 goes online perfect on my Vista PC so clearly the mod is working fine. I'm very good with computers and phones and this is probably the 2nd time in as many years that I've had to come online for some help. If anyone has any clue what might be happening please tell me because I've tried so many things and my mind is spent.

It's important that my G3 works with the Windows 7 PC. The old phone and Vista PC are both my mothers now and the G3 and Windows 7 PC are mine and the old phone has a 4GB limit with a large sim and my G3 is unlimited. I have used over 600GB this month so it's very important I figure out how to get this to work. I'm also a grown man who runs a business and this is killing me having to spend literally the last 12 hours straight trying to get this sorted. Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.
[Verizon LG G3] imucarmen:
well thanks for nothing! :D

I know my post was off topic but I was just hoping some geek here would have some insight. I ended up finally getting it work after much troubleshooting.

Thank you for the proper MHS mod.

My hotspot worked for a long time. Then all of a sudden...nothing. Im gonna attempt to delete the apk from system/app then replace it again. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there another fix/problem Im looking at here?
[Verizon LG G3] gbenrus25:
Does anyone else have issues with throttling? I'm pretty sure Verizon throttles my data whenever I turn tethering on.

This is how it typically plays out:

1) Turn tethering on

2) Internet is fast for about 3 mins (I typically have good cell coverage)

3) Pages being taking forever to load and some just give up

4) I turn airplane mode on

5) I turn airplane mode back off

6) Pages that were struggling to load, load immediately. Internet is fast for about 2 mins again

7) Internet becomes very slow again

8) Cycle continues

I've had this issue for a while with WiFi Tether router and I was hoping this modded apk would fix it. Alas, I have the exact same issues (and it's not yet October so Verizon's unlimited data throttling hasn't yet gone into effect)

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

I should also note that the Internet on my phone also becomes very slow when the "throttling" begins. I have to turn on airplane mode and turn it back off to get it back to its normal speed
[Verizon LG G3] inkdaddy66:
I'm gonna say that verizon throttles every unlimited data plan. I think it's BS but I'm sure they could care less. I don't have wifi at home because I can't afford it right now. So my tethering is constantly running. Tablets, laptops, gaming.

[Verizon LG G3] 318sugarhill:
Check your signal. I notice when I'm using data my signal often switches from 4g to 3g. It really irritates me because I notice my brothers iPhone does not drop to 3g anywhere nears the frequency my phone does. Happened with my S4 but is MUCH more common with the G3. At least on the S4 I could force it into 4g only mode with the advanced signal status app. No such luck on my g3.
[Verizon LG G3] phobos512:
Just did this using Root Explorer, worked great, thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] csimo:
I have both the modded .apk and WiFi Tether Router and use both depending on the circumstances.

I've found that the modded .apk just won't load some sites on my notebook for some reason. I don't know the reason, but if I switch to WiFi Tether Router the same site will open fine.

When I use WiFi Tether Router I notice that my phone gets hot, but when I use the modded .apk doesn't get hot at all.

The above is just my experience with the two methods.

-Joe
[Verizon LG G3] tech_head:
I use them both also.

Mostly the native hack.

The one problem I have is I have not found a way to use taker to turn either of them on.
[Verizon LG G3] phobos512:
In Tasker, under Tasks, create a new task, new action (+), goto "Net" then "Wi-Fi Tether"...Should work?
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Could someone give me some clarification on step 3? I've dabbled with linux for a long time but I don't know a lot about it. I always thought "cp ." was basically the same as "copy *.*" in DOS.... but that command alone means I'm copying from where to where?

Thanks.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
Step 3 clarified - Copy or move the new, modded, apk, from wherever you have it, to the /system/app folder.

You can use cp, or mv, or a file explorer app.

(For instance, I use ES file explorer. When I downloaded the modded file it was in my /Download folder. I used ES' move function to relocate the file.)

The dot in OP meant "from wherever you have the file to wherever you need it to go", it wasn't a complete command line.

I dont seem to have a Hotspot Odex??? is there a zip for this?
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
The two HotspotProvision original files, .apk and .odex, should be in your /system/app folder.

Since what you're asked to do is to rename the two files, add a .bak at the end, if you don't have the .odex it should cause no harm (nothing to rename), though it is surprising. Any chance you have whatever file manager you use sorting by extension, so the .odex is further down your directory listing?
[Verizon LG G3] Goofypook:
I found them but they say MobileHotspot.apk.bak, and same for odex.bak...

But for some reason it still doesnt want to work.
[Verizon LG G3] markfm:
Wrong files. The files you want to rename to .bak are the two with name HotspotProvision.

If you have accidentally lost the .odex, here it is: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8sTZFIblGePWlppUmE1S3RrVWM/edit?usp=docslist_api

If you do download that file, add the .bak.

I am using the modified HotspotProvision in my phone, works fine. I never touched the two original files called MobileHotspot, only had to rename the original HotspotProvision files. I suggest you try removing the .bak from your two Mobile Hotspot files.
[Verizon LG G3] Goofypook:
Thanks! Would you be willing to list what files should be in the system app folder, and the permissions? Just those regarding to Hotspot.

UPDATE: Got it working, thanks for all the help
[Verizon LG G3] cali4nia831:
Finally unlocked tether yesterday using this method. Only problem is that after a couple mins of use, my 4g speeds slow way way down. As if I'm being throttled. The thing is that I swap my sim into my Galaxy S4, i get full speed all the time while tethering which makes believe that it's a problem on the g3 end. Anyone else experience this? Any advice on how to fix this?
[Verizon LG G3] wpbear:
What is the difference of the new hotspot mod released yesterday? Appears to be same thing.
[Verizon LG G3] Stvnx7:
Will this enable USB tether? I like using that better as it uses less battery.
[Verizon LG G3] M4gicM@:
Yes, this enables all the data tethering options (wifi tether, bluetooth tether and usb tether).
[Verizon LG G3] Stvnx7:
Awesome! Thanks.
[Verizon LG G3] GrandMstrBud:
The apk is not in the /system/app root. The is a folder in the called HotSpotProvision. Also if you don't install the app don't you need to copy it back over to the /system/app/HotSpotProvision directory? ES file explorer doesn't let me change permission s either. Isn't there a flashable zip for this?

Problem on Lollipop 23c

I ran the 1 step root for VS985 LG3 and everything seemed to go fine. SuperSU installed and SuRootChecker says full root. But when I open terminal emulator and execute:

> su (first time SuperSu popped up and granted root access)

> mount -o remount,rw /system

> cd /system/apps

> mv HotspotProvision.apk HotspotProvision.bak

mv: rename HotspotProvision.apk to HotspotProvision.bak: No such file or directory

Any ideas what I should try? I am assuming something is not quite 'root' about 'root'?

Do I need to do this from an adb connection from PC to phone? I was assuming I could do this

in a local terminal emulator with 'su' privileges after rooting?

Any help would be apprecited, I help onto unlimited data so I could use this feature, hoping

I can get it working on my new G3!

Cheers,

-Scott
[Verizon LG G3] skay:
It's working

Thanks to GrandMasterBud's post I got it working. I was trying to change the HotspotProvision.apk file in /system/app. Weird how when I did an 'ls HotspotProvision.apk' in /system/app it listed it like the file was there, seeing GrandMasterBud's post I did an 'll' and could see the HotspotProvision directory. After I moved the old one to HotspotProvision.bak and copied the new version (without renaming it) chmod 644 and rebooted it's working fine.

Unlimited data on the go!!
[Verizon LG G3] GrandMstrBud:
There is no files in my system/app directory. There is a hotspot provision folder but that's it no 2 files to rename

[Verizon LG G3] protivakid:
The terminal steps worked for me on my G3 with 12B. Though steps 3 & 4 seem to either have a typo or I am missing something. The download is named "HotspotProvisionVsG3Mod.apk" . I had to use that name in these steps instead of what the OP gave. It did work great after that though.

Dear XDA members,

A while ago I updated my N8010 from stock JB 4.1.2 to stock KK 4.4.2 (LUX, NG1). Running on stock JB v4.1.2. I used Tegrak Overclock v1.9.12 to overclock my N8010 to 1.6GHz. Unfortunately, Tegrak does not support stock KitKat (so far). Does anyone know it there's an alternative to overclock the N8010 running on stock KitKat, ecept from running a custom ROM? If so, please let me know. Thanks.

Sorry if this has been answer already. I searched for a answer but couldnt find. My question is can a flash the newest bootloader & modem via Mobile odin pro instead or do i have to use PC Odin? Im not worried about tripping the knox counter if that helps anyone who May answer the question... Thx for all the phone swag the awesome people here at xda make available..

G900TUVU1BNG3 Update

I plan to update my phone to G900TUVU1BNG3 and keep root. I used the Towelroot approach to root NE6 and my Knox Void Warranty is 0x0 (Not Tripped).

I'm familiar with the approach to updating and retaining root, but I'm confused about the app Mobile Odin Pro. I've read countless threads regarding to updating to G900TUVU1BNG3 using Mobile Odin (on T-Mo forums and Samsung Galaxy S5 forums) but I cannot get a definite answer that using the app will trip Knox. I understand that Mobile Odin has the ability to flash the kernel and modify the bootloader, which would trip Knox.

If I have the choice to avoid tripping Knox, I'd rather go that route. I'm sorry for being tedious and I'm sure that the answer is obvious, but I'm a complete noob.

My question: Will installing and using Mobile Odin Pro to update my phone trip Knox?

I'm guessing that if I avoid selecting the Bootloader and Kernel on Mobile Odin Pro, I should be fine even if I have Mobile Odin Pro installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spirodave:
If you have premium handset protection then i wouldnt worry about tripping Knox. You can throw your phone at a brick wall and it wont void your handset protection. By the way there are plenty of threads about Tmobile not caring if Knox is tripped .Long story short nothing Voids handset protection so if you have it then flash away . Even if you dont I wouldnt worry to much anyway Tmobile never even checks for Knox
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ashraf sharif:
mobile odin will never touch the bootloader. also it will not trip knox

[General Questions and Answers] Sizzers:
My phone is a Motorola XT1032 and when I reboot it instead of going through the routine of SIM lock PIN then phone lock PIN, it just goes straight to the phone lock with no network connection.

This firstly occurred at work yesterday when distractedly I ended up in "Safe mode", which doesn't work for me in any case as there's a bug or whatever somewhere which is by the by. So after rebooting a warning triangle and exclamation mark was showing in the status bar where it said...."Your selected network (3) is not available", 3 being my network in the UK. I then did the obvious: removed the SIM, gave it a wipe, remounted it and hey...network back!

I was a little concerned that perhaps the pins in the SIM card housing may be faulty so to check I rebooted my phone later on with exactly the same result and the same solution by remounting the SIM. Totally bizarre, so anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Malc

I'm trying to unlock and s-off..I've got everything setup for firewater im just trying to issue commands through cmd now.

When I type in

adb push firewater /data/local/tmp

it tells me that there is no such file or directory. I've put firewater on my desktop like someone said to somewhere and in a bunch of adb file that i thought might help...Where am i suppose to put firewater to make it readable by adb?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
It should be in the same folder that contains adb. Otherwise you would need to add the full path with slashes in front of "firewater"

The file goes in your adb folder in platformtools. When you run the command it's looking for it there.

thanks you guys i see the light at the end of the tunnel now...

DO NOT COME TO IRC ASKING FOR UPDATES OR ETAS!!!!!!

if we are able to fix this issue, it will be announced

bye bye.....sorry it didn't work out."

:/ am i able to do anything or no?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
Doesn't matter which, for Windows you just right click the adb file and open the command prompt from the folder. Just make sure you're sticking the firewater file in the same folder adb is located. It automatically sets the directory.

I personally use HTC one and am rooted with a custom rom. I had purchased a verizon Galaxy Note 3 for my sister as a Christmas gift and she loves the thing but i guess after loading up junk to it and the bloat already on the phone its gotten slow and Samsung patched out the ability to tether. So she has commissioned me to root her phone for her and find a Debloated rom that's as close to stock as possible. Correct me if i'm wrong but based on my reading Samsung devices have a extra hurdle to jump called KNOX and it will cause you to void your warranty and its unrecoverable from that voided state ? Is what i'm asking possible to do without doing this to the phone if this even happens ? I know the new TowelRoot method is the in thing to rooting Samsung devices but that's all i know about it. Her Note3 is on the second OTA update does this matter ? should i update to the latest OTA ? then root ? Any input would be GREATLY appreciated especially cause you'd help me to get my sister to stop harassing me to do this for her lol :D

Once up and running most roms are good. Alliance is great but the settings are very involved and may a bit much for her. I have the last Baja rom before they became Alliance if you're interested. The s5 port is a work of art as well but more than she's looking for probably. I can't really say for what rom you should pick as that's user choice. Hope this helps.

Hi all!

My phone has only the download mode available, the computer recognize it, but it can't past the 2% of the upgrade i dont know why. Is this a driver issue? because this method worked once on the same pc when i upgragred from jb to kk.

Also, with the tot method: LGFlashTool recognizes the phone but as d802 not s d806 (i think its because installed cloudyfa baseband), so i cant flash the right tot file. The one flashed on the phone just keeps restarting it.

There is any way to flash a tot file from d806 on a d802 phone? if there were one i would be able to fix this (hope so).

Hope you can help me. Have a nice day.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fefin:
bump
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fefin:
Well, i solved the problem. This is the solution for all the people with mismatch devices on lgflashtool:

Download the right .tot file for your device. Make sure is the right one.

Download a hex editor program (I recommend hxd hex editor)

Open the .tot file with the hex editor, and find the first and the line that has the device number, and change it to the device that shows in lgflashtool.

For example: my device originally was d806, but lgflashtool recognizes it as d802, so i changed 806, to 802 in the first and the second line that shows the device code.

Then save the .tot file, and flash it with the attached .dll (LGUP_8974.dll)

This worked for me, and i think will work for everyone else.

Hope you can fix your device as i did.

bye!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
That would be also an new fix I guess but did you flashed maybe an d802 rom? Cause maybe the flashtool reads the system/build.prop for the device number to prevent bricks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fefin:
Yes, that's what the lgflashtool does, but if you flashed your cellphone before and the build prop has changed this is the way to flash it back.

Im 100% sure that the .tot file was for d806, because i flased the d802 and the phone booted, but restarted after 10 sec, no keyboard, etc.

Also, im from Argentina so all the devices here are d806.

Now im on Kitkat, cloudystock and dorinmax installed, so this method work to recover your dead phones or to flash if your build prop is incorrect.

THIS IS NOT MY METHOD. Just posted here and made a "tutorial". Found someone who was having the same problem on reddit and he solved it with this.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
[MENTION=5593284]fefin[/MENTION] nice that would be idd an quick fix. When you flashed it do you have now d806 mentioned in your build.prop or d802? I think d806 but i just wanna be sure that editing that only edits the device model check.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fefin:
Yep, you're right. Now it says d806 :D.

This method is only for skip the device model check (actually you dont skip it, you just force the flashtool to read whatever you like).
