the settings.db edit is not working for me

EDIT: Since doing it on the phone instead of computer... I fat fingered the entry and typed "tether_fun_required". Seems to be working now
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GooGooMuck:
Before fixing the typo, I am curious as to what "fun" stuff that unlocked :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancerEVA06:
Your guess is as good as mine.

I'm still irritated that my line needs this modification. I pay $65 a month for unlimited talk/text/data, plus another $30 for 10GB Mobile Hotspot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabru2001:
Wasnt a fat finger, I just did it and it was actually what autocorrect wanted to change it to.

the WiFi tether router app works flawlessly, without having to edit any files. its not at the play store, but can find it easily if you google it. I past my 3gb allotment last night, and tmobile cut me off from tethering. so, I started using this app, and am tethering again :)

The SQL edit worked perfectly for me on my Lollipop powered Nexus 5. I am on Sprint and tethering is working fine now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aberchonbie:
I also wanted to comment and let you guys know that I followed instructions here and tethering is working perfectly on the Sprint network.

1. Purchased and downloaded "SQLite Editor" (paid $2.99) from the Play store.

2. Opening SQLite Editor prompted me for root access. I selected grant/approve.

3. Follow axp878's instructions to use SQLite Editor: Stay on the "APPS" tab and navigate down to: "Settings Storage" >> "settings.db" >> "global"

4. Now, press the "+" icon and type in "tether_dun_required" in the name field and enter in "0" as the value. Save and close out of SQL Editor

5. Restart your device.

6. Once booted, Go to system settings and click on the "--- More" option under Wireless & networks. Select "Tethering & portable hotspot". Turn on "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" and VOILA.

Thank you guys. This is obviously the best way to wirelessly tether via lollipop natively. Thanks axp878! :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookiehead2:
Hey Simms, would you mind sending me your general settings for that application? I've been trying to get it working on my Nexus 5 (T-mobile), but it won't let my tethered devices get to the internet. Also, do you have any modified settings outside of the app?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnwk:
I think you need root right? How do you root lollipop? Or if you root kitkat it will automatically be rooted in lollipop?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aberchonbie:
There are several ways you can root your Nexus 5. I used Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT) as that seemed easiest to me. http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/

I'm not sure whether you'll have root in lollipop if you are rooted already in kitkat. What I did was use the NRT to flash to stock lollipop. I then used the same NRT to root with TWRP recovery. It was pretty straightforward to use Wugfresh's toolkit.

[G 2014 General] Janus Kirin:
Since I've been lurking all day looking for solutions, I thought I'd share my success story and instructions. I'm a new poster so I can't make links, so I'll do my best to give you an idea if you've got the right link. The fastboot instructions may be a little truncated, so look around if they seem unclear. These are the commands you need to enter, though. I wasn't able to relock my bootloader.

This is for the Consumer Cellular Moto G 2014 X1064. Starting from retail (where you have the Consumer Cellular app):

Unlock the bootloader on Moto's site at motorola-global-portal.custhelp dot com

Download Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US from droid-developers dot org slash phone device 36

Unzip that file into your fastboot folder

Enter Fastboot on your phone (how to: hold power and volume down until your device turns off, then hold it another 5-10 seconds, then let go and you should see a basic text screen)

Use these commands on your computer while being in the fastboot folder (I was using a Mac with the quick fastboot/ADB tools and just typed them in Terminal):

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot reboot

You should now be at stock Android 4.4.4 with an unlocked bootloader. No Consumer Cellular app.

Grab the torrent file from the thread titled "[OTA] Moto G 2014 XT1064 v22.11.6" on this subforum. It's on page 8, post #73

Rename that file to something simple like update.zip

Use Android File Transfer or similar (I had a Mac) to put that on the root of your device. It was at the same level as the Downloads folder. If you can see that, you're in the right place.

Reboot into fastboot mode

Select recovery mode (press volume down to highlight it, then volume up to select)

You'll now see an Android guy with a red triangle. Press volume up and power at the same time, let go, and you should be in another text menu.

Select boot from SD card (use volume down to highlight it, then power to select)

Select your update.zip

Wait 20 minutes or so while it works

Select reboot when you're finished

That was enough to get me to Android 5. Good luck everyone!
[G 2014 General] zoomingrocket:
During the first flash, did you not get System Downgrade errors? And after reboot i could still see same Consumer Cellular system version. Did you verify your system version before you updated Lollipop?

I still cant believe it worked for you as i have seen other people still having issues like me where they cannot flash 21.11.17 version because of system not permitting downgrading.

Please add any more insights or if you downloaded the ROM from somewhere else.

Thanks.
[G 2014 General] Janus Kirin:
I didn't get system downgrade errors, no. I unlocked first. Maybe that was it?

My system version was 21.11.23.titan_ccaws.AWSCC.en.US cc
[G 2014 General] chibichn:
Zoomingrocket, check out my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56707918&postcount=26

Thanks for the guide, helped me to update to Lollipop after flashing the retail image. Are you able to lock your bootloader, or will I just have to live with it being unlocked?
[G 2014 General] sirfergy:
That's the same version I had, and I got the same error as the person above.
[G 2014 General] Janus Kirin:
I was not able to lock the bootloader. It shows that warning for five seconds and then starts the boot animation. I'd also like to lock it, but I've decided not to press my luck.
[G 2014 General] zoomingrocket:
Thanks a ton Janus & Chibichn, it works and i was able to downgrade and flash Lollipop via recovery! :D

Seems to work for me. Happily running Lollipop on my Consumer Cellular G (2014).
[G 2014 General] Trekker56:
Other than the void warranty, any other disadvantage in unlocking the bootloader? Will we get future OTA updates or well have to flash every time?
[G 2014 General] gordonzhao:
Thanks, worked for me, for those who aren't able to downgrade, are you sure you got your bootloader unlocked?
[G 2014 General] coolmen777:
Great tutorial, worked exactly as described. Thanks A LOT! Now to root and start restoring my TitaniumBackup.
[G 2014 General] sombra:
Thanks for the tutorial, I am having issues on step 14 the installation aborts in recovery. I did rename the zip to update.zip. If some one can point me in the right direction that would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks a ton for this. Got my less than 24 hour old Moto G upgraded last night. Youre a lifesaver.

root??

work was actually really really perfect! however I noticed that when starting this root and lost without recovery. is normal in this version? because at the end she asked me to reinstall it would root.
[G 2014 General] diamondjoker5:
I got the xt1064 from consumer cellular and have been trying to replicate the process but with a locked bootloader.

My cc x1064 originally came with 21.11.23.titan_ccaws.AWSCC.en.US cc. I couldn't flash an older US retail build (21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US - the latest available for download at the time) because of downgrade issues. Locked bootloader wont let you downgrade, image verification issue.

As of today I was able to located the latest US retails aws rom for 21.11.23. I ended up getting it from a different faster mirror than the ones posted in another xda thread.

http://motofirmware.com/files/file/951-retuaws-xt1064-444-kxb2185-23-cid9-cfcxmlzip/

Fastboot flash of this rom was successful. No bootloader/image issues. My consumer cellular rom was removed, cc app was gone, and now my system version reads 21.11.23.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US cc ( build # kxb21.85-23). Don't know why the "cc" is still appended to the end of the system version. Baseband version also had CCAWS_CUST in it. Is this an indication that consumer cellular components like the baseband modem files were untouched during the US retail flash?

Anyway, tried all the tutorials on getting OTA to update via stock recovery thru "update form sd" but the update keeps failing. I keep getting message " package expect build finger print of motorola/titan_retuaws/titan_umts:4.4.4/kxb21.85-17/23:user/release-keys or motorola/titan_retuaws/titan_umts:5.0/LXB22.39-6/5:user/release-keys; this device has motorola/titan_retuaws/titan_umts:4.4.4KXB21.85-23/30:u Installation aborted."

So the phone is complaining that the package currently installed either had to be 21.85-17 (4.4.4) or lollipop 5.0, in order to flash , but found 21.85-23(4.4.4) on my phone instead, hence it fails because of version mismatch. So in order to update OTA lollipop with a locked bootloader only a currently installed build of 21.11.17 will allow you to do it? If that is the case, I can't downgrade and thus can update the OTA.
[G 2014 General] zoomingrocket:
I also noticed that Base Band version stays from Consumer Cellular. Any idea if we should or can flash the Base Band to US Retail? Also as far i read, yes the lollipop update is based on top of 21.11.17 not 21.11.23. There may be a lollipop image on top of 21.11.23 but i am not sure.
[G 2014 General] gordonzhao:
^^ personally I didn't care to void the warranty since I picked it up for 75 (gift card for another 75), also the consumer cellular model. Updated it to 5.0 and using it as my spare phone for browsing and web on my secondary line, it works fine. Immediately after the update, getting back into recovery is an issue, haven't tried since but it's been working fine so I'm not complaining.
[G 2014 General] fathergweedo:
I was successful with the Consumer Cellular XT1064, but I unlocked the bootloader first and left it that way. It is my understanding that this is required to downgrade, but I'm no expert.

The Lollipop *does* update the Baseband, though the CCAWS_CUST was/is appended throughout. Unsure what that is all about (or if it even relates to Consumer Cellular), but it works just fine. I'll paste the various Baseband, System, and Build numbers reported as I progressed below. Perhaps this will shed some light?

Kinda strange that the System went from US cc, to US na, then back to US cc. ???

---------- Post added at 06:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 AM ----------

let me know if u figured out how to root
[G 2014 General] gordonzhao:
Unfortunately, not. The phone is still operational, but one of the reasons why I wanted to get into the recovery was to clear the cache as bluetooth streaming is stuttering. Any reason you can think of as to why I'm unable to access recovery; kit kat, yes, after flashing lp, no.
[G 2014 General] areyosamba:
You should be able to. I was not able to do as well. however with lot of combinations i was able to figure out.

Here are the steps.

Once you select the recovery and see android dude with error triangle icon, hold the power button first for 5seconds and then click volume up button and release both immediately. The key here is to hold power button first (eventhough everywhere it says to hold volume up button)

try and let me know if that worked for you.
[G 2014 General] gordonzhao:
That worked! Thanks! Weird that they changed it.
[G 2014 General] areyosamba:
glad it worked. I figured out with multiple different combinations.

btw, were you able to root. if so, can you point me to detailed instructions?

For people who successfully installed android 5.0 on there XT1064 what was your system version on 4.4.4 kk
[G 2014 General] gordonzhao:
System was 4.4.4 but I had to downgrade since consumer cellular had a newer version on it
[G 2014 General] Shawn5162:
what do u mean a newer version (version of lollipop or of kitkat)
[G 2014 General] craigbailey1986:
Consumer cellular build is a newer build. I think .23 and you have to downgrade to usaws .16 to upgrade to lollipop.
[G 2014 General] gordonzhao:
Yes, what craig said, you have to downgrade which means unlocking the bootloader, fastest the older rom and then flashing Lollipop, weird thing though is on a daily basis I get 'crash, send bug report' but it's a simple dismissal if the notification. Kind of expected as it's not really official yet and it's still the soak test release if I'm not mistaken. But other than those it's running smoothly. I have to close out of all apps once it twice a day sine the 1gb of ram isn't much but it's a secondary phone for me so no biggy
[G 2014 General] iceman022:
Any updates to this ? How is it working any bugs ? I want to update my CC moto g but want to make sure things were stable . Thanks
[G 2014 General] craigbailey1986:
I have no issues with it. On T-Mobile the service is not that great. Think I'm gonna go get a cricket or att Sim and see how they fair. Phone overall is smooth and fluid. Few hiccups when multiple apps such as Facebook and Instagram are open. But this is apparently a known memory issue.
[G 2014 General] gordonzhao:
I think it's location dependent, I have T-Mobile, Chicago, no issues with reception, full bars. Apps are expected to be a but slower since they require more ram to run. The phone is like an S4 with 1gb of ram.
[G 2014 General] iceman022:
About the same performance as Kit Kat 4.4.4 ?
[G 2014 General] rant:
For me, yes, UI performance is very similar to 4.4.4, maybe even slightly better. The biggest issue for me so far is background apps seem to close more frequently, although there isn't a consistent pattern. For example, a few days ago I was running Spotify and not actively using anything else, and Spotify closed after 10-15 minutes mid-song. The next day, Spotify running in background for 25-30 minutes with no issue and I decided to be brave and run Chrome and Evernote actively. Spotify had no issues.
[G 2014 General] Trekker56:
I upgraded my Moto G EXT to Lollipop the same day that I got it, so I cannot compare the performance with Kitkat, but most of the times, the inability to run 2 apps at the same time can be very frustrating. I usually listen to Pandora while I commute and if I want to browse chrome, pandora will close. I "upgraded" from BLU Life Play, and never had these problems with it. I was expecting Moto G EXT to be better than the Life Play, but that is not so.

My only reason for sticking with Moto G right now is that I only got it for $80 out of pocket after using coupons + shop your way points, so for a $80 phone, it is ok. I do hope that a future update will solve the RAM issues.
[G 2014 General] iceman022:
Sounds like a good idea to stay at 4.4.4 for now ... I am not having any of those problems with kit kat, hope they get it straighten out . BTW did you like the blu products phone ?
[G 2014 General] Trekker56:
Yes I liked the Blu phone, but the charging port broke after 2 months. Otherwise it was, I think the same in performance or even better than Moto G. The broke charging port and chance of future OS upgrades was an influence for my decision to go for a more reputable brand this time. But i guess if you go for an inexpensive phone, you will always have issues, either hardware or software ?

Has anyone been able to upgrade past the initial lollipop install (22.11.6) to 22.21.16?
[G 2014 General] devsk:
No. I think Motorola has missed the boat on how to do OTAs properly. If you did not upgrade when the upgrade was offered, you missed it and Motorola only keeps the last OTA on their servers. You miss an update, you miss the updates for good because there is no upgrade path from the version you have.

I think there will be a mass update which fixes all issues for people who side loaded pulled otas and who are stuck on kk and lp

Can you help us with a little guide how you flashed your XT1064 Consumer Cellular to android 5.0 and 5.0.1?

Thanks!!!
[G 2014 General] Trekker56:
First flash TWRP recovery, then flash the 5.0.1 rom using TWRP recovery. When you reboot the first time, select no to keep the phone unrooted and the rom will revert back to stock recovery.

Do keep in mind that your ROM will change to global version (xt1063) from US version (xt1064), but there will be no change in network connectivity. You may also have problems flashing future OTAs, unless Kennywulee packages them again for us.

Thanks! Now, another question, I need to flash the specific zip for the modem?

Very very thanks!

[G 2014 General] Trekker56:
I only flashed the 5.0.1 Rom. I believe the modem file is specific for XT1063 only, and flashing that might mess up XT1064.

As I cautioned earlier, once you flash this ROM, you will not be able to flash OTA updates unless they are repackaged by Kennywulee (or another developer).
