[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cucaracha512:
That is not what I'm asking for.

I can download OTA_M8_EYE_UHL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_India_4.30.720.4-1.80.720.1_release_427444001nsb8okuokmyrd by myself, but I can't install due it is not for my Egypt version.

I'm looking for full TWRP backup of lollipop rom just to restore it (without installing OTAs), because there is no official 5.0 update for my phone.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capt Vikram Sandhu:
So PLease explain do you:

1. Want Egyyptian version of this OTA (4.20.720.5 will change to 4.20.Egyptian correspondingno.5.

or

2. You want a nandroid backup of my device. It would be rooted and Xposed istalled.

Let me know.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cucaracha512:
Let's try egyptian OTA, please.

If it don't work, then I have no other ways to try your rooted backup.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capt Vikram Sandhu:
Sorry, can't help you there. can provide you my nandroid backup - CID HTC_038 radio x.720.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cucaracha512:
OK, will be grateful.

When I got this phone, it worked on lollipop, but I don't know asian or egyptian verison this rom was.

I think somebody had intalled asian/indian version, because when I recover stock egyptian 4.4 it says "there is no updates for your phone".

Now I'm on Indian 4.4.4, which want to download 5.0 OTA, but don't want to install it with any recovery.

I wanna restore your 5.0 backup and forget about this all :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capt Vikram Sandhu:
If your are on Indian 4.4.4, why not first install OTA 4 followed by OTA 5 from my drive. Steps are:

1. Download all the files.

2. Flash the downloaded recovery.

3. Install OTA 4. followed by 5, both downloaded from my

or

I'll upload another nandroid backup (provided by Shreyas). Its clean and unrooted (4.4.x).

1. After flashing it relock and flash the recovery from my drive.

2. After that you'll be able to install OTA 4 from the same location (my Google drive).

3. Repeat no. 2 for OTA 5.

I' can share my Nandroid backup too. but pls advice will it be carrying all my personal data as my google account was active and I had been using it for some time.

If that's the case, I can "factory reset - take nandroid backup - upload" for your convenience.

Let me know.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cucaracha512:
I tryed backup provided by Shreya, relocking bootloader and flashing many recoverys and stock updated firmware - nothing works: I can't install any OTA (downloaded by my phone or from other places, even in manual mode).

You can make backup without data partition - then, I guess, I will not see your personal info (and google account too) - correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway, you shoudn't worry about that - I don't want to steal anything) I have many software bought in google play, so I don't want anybody's other account on my device.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capt Vikram Sandhu:
Looks Buddy.

FIRST OF ALL - Take a deep breadth! We WILL SAVE YOUR DEVICE. PERIOD.

Now let me -

1. Take a Nandroid Backup - current state then factory reset.

2. I'll Post the factory reset backup then.

Meanwhile I'm uploading my last backup (- after using it with all my personal data), less data partition. Hope it works for you.

PS. had I been in shoes, I'd waited for the factory reset one..

Let me know if you need anything else.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cucaracha512:
Well, I guess nandroid backup of 5.0 rom is the only thing I need.

Hi im based in United arab emirates and just got a htc m8 eye seems like there's not much development done on it its very disapointing because the phone is very good my question is if i s-off my phone using sunshine can i then install any RUU because i have read some people say not any ruu and somepeople say it doesnt matter if im s-off because i plan on updating my phone with lollipop OTA for the indian devices.

Also is there any chance that we will be getting the latest twrp recovery for our device?

Finally! Lollipop installed. :D

1) Backup can be downloaded here: ht tps://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3wzFG_FuEb3fm4zWmZXVU9EYWpCQ1BwcnJQQ25ZWFluNVplT0todmQ5ckhoNHU1a1BCVEU&usp=sharing

2) After restoring the backup loading stucks on HTC logo, then recovery starts.

3) OK, extract boot.img from OTA (4.4 - 5.0), flash it via fastboot, and thats it!

Works perfect!:good:

[XDA Assist] vin4yak:
Hi,

You need to ask this in the Tab S's dedicated Q and A section over here:

> Samsung Galaxy Tab S > Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good Luck! :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] devynbf:
I've seen a few threads in the Q&A about this topic, so I'll just make a dedicated thread for it so other sections don't get too clouded.

**This will only work if you have an unlimited data plan!**

**MUST ALSO HAVE ROOT ACCESS**

This will essentially re-route the output of data so it is not taking off of your Tethering plan, instead taking off of your main data plan.

That being said, if you do this method and you have a 5GB main data plan, don't come to this thread saying it didn't work for you.

*****

Get an app on the Play Store called WiFi Tether Router:

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter

MUST HAVE LATEST VERSION OF THE APP (v4.0.6 OR NEWER)

*****

Keep "Always scanning" checked. Don't do what the dialog says and uncheck it.

*****

Configure it and go down towards the bottom and hit "APN Settings". In there you will see your main APN that is used (fast.t-mobile.com).

You're going to have to make a brand new one with all of the details identical to the original, but where it says "APN Protocol", change that from ipv6 to ipv4. This step is essential to making the tethering data come off of your main data plan so you can truly use your unlimited data to your heart's content.

Whenever you make a new APN, the Protocols are usually already at IPV4. If they are already IPV4, you are good to go.

This has been working for me with no problems for the past few days. I've used about 20GB so far in tethering alone.

If I helped, hit that thanks button.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
Might want to add that this requires root just in case someone jumps the gun and buys the app without reading the app description.

JUSMEJOSE, is it possible for you the stat a thread and explain exactly what needs to be done to get the Dirty Tether Mod from the S4 forum working?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] elite-fusion:
I just noticed that mine is set to IPv6 for APN Protocol and IPv4 for APN Roaming Protocol.

So my Roaming is already set to IPv4....should I change something? should the APN Protocol be IPv4 as well?

I have IPv4 set for both APN Protocol and for APN Roaming Protocol and Wifi Tether Router is working how it should.

FYI also , don't use Internet Explorer in windows while tethered as t-mobile does check headers every so often. I'm not really sure if tmobile actually cares about the few who do unrestrict tether as the tmobile rep is the one who also showed me this method in op and about ie usage

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] devynbf:
Did you uncheck the option "always allow scanning" in the advanced settings? If you dont, it won't work.

Unchecked always scan, APN SETUP, AND UNLIMITED DATA PLAN

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] devynbf:
And it's not broadcasting? Make sure you make a Network ID and password. If that doesn't work I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Compusmurf:
Same here. Not broadcasting where any of my pc's can see it.

did you run native tethering once or something? maybe that's the difference?

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

documentation suggest. HOSTAPDPATCH checked, no disable wifi checked

this made it work. not sure which. LOL silly me not reading document.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] devynbf:
[MENTION=1494084]djlucklu[/MENTION] try this.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Compusmurf:
I also had to enable:

AUTO disconnect WIfi when start tethering. seems to relate to no disable wifi. If that's ON, it wont switch to LTE tethering.

so with those 3 checked, I was able to tether and verified website access.

Have NOT checked tmob site to be sure tho.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Baxbag:
When I run the speedtest.net app on my phone T-mobile note 4 and my tethered Galaxy Tab S using the native T-mobile tethering app I constantly get simular DL 50+ Mbps & UL 14+ Mbps speeds. When I use the WiFi Tether Router app my DL speed on my tethered Galaxy Tab S is constantly sufficiently slower and average DL 10 Mbps & UL 5 Mbps. Since using the WiFi Tether Router app my DL speed has never been faster the 20 Mbps on my test.

Anyone know why I get much better speeds using the T-mobile native tethering app?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
T-mobile uses user-agent sniffers. They can see desktop browser data. You essentially have to spoof your browsers with an extension that allows you to change your user agent to something mobile.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] banditboy13:
So How I can do that? which extension should I use?

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

How I can do that? Which extension do you recommend?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Pikeypete:
You should find that you can still use I.E. without any problems (data isn't counted) on your laptop.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
Really depends on which browser you use. I have had the most luck with Firefox and their selection, I would have to search for one when I get home because I don't recall which one I was using.

you can find a number of user agents here though.

http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/mobile_ids.html
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
Yeah I'll pass on IE. I like my computer.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Pikeypete:
I don't use I. E. either.

I was simply letting the community know that I. E. is still functional without the issues of other browsers.

Pikeypete.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] devynbf:
Weird.

I just moved and have been using this method on Chrome on my home PC.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] anoblenate:
This is the only thread mentioning recent changes with T-mobile I've seen. I've been using WiFi Tether for Root Users since December on my HTC one. With the MAC spoofing feature I've been using my unlimited data just fine on any of my devices. Mostly I played and watched games through Steam and streamed from Netflix and the like (my home connection is only 1.3mb/s DSL...)

It just stopped working on March 2nd and I got a text saying my hotspot data was used up. I might buy this app to try but might wait to see how it goes for other T-mobile folk. It was so nice being able to use my phones LTE connection since I've no other options for internet at home.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
Beside user agent string, you can also do VPN to avoid being sniff.

I dont have any of these problem. I am getting 0 byte on my hotspot even though I use more than 5GB tether on my laptop.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] lt.anthonydelgado:
Are there any quick guides to seeing up VPN I've personally never tried but I think there was an option in settings right?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
You have to find a VPN provider. I pay $4 a month and I use VPN for my computer torrent and I have not done on my phone. VPN company makes app for the phone. Go to Playstore to download it. There are many VPN companies out there. Keep in mind, yo might see 50% in slow speed. I just pick a EU server.

You are only pushing torrent data through your vpn?

One issue

Hi all and thanks for this great thread. I got this to work and am quite happy. problem is that tmobile has apparently sniffed my user agent. I got a user agent switcher for chrome and when I switch my user agent to android everything my tethering works again and I dont get the tmobile upsell page anymore. My only problem is that since I am using android user agent all the web pages come in the mobile form and things like netflix wont work because netflix think I am trying to stream content on a mobile browser. How can i change user agent so tmobile think I am on my phone but the web browser and netflix still give me the desktop version of sites and know that I am on a desktop?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] TEKHD:
Frozen or not... Same thing, Hotspot Data keeps growing. Confirmed. (using Wifi Tether Router) I have been using Wifi Tether Router since the Note 3 and this is the first time I have seen this. You can even go to the Play Store and read the recent reviews for Wifi Tether Router and you will see a bunch of people with the same issue on T-Mobile. I can confirm the issue on my Note 3, Note 4 & Note Edge. We are in big trouble my friends... I don't see any solution yet.
