Most phones that are carrier branded are unable to unlock the boot loader. My G3 on T-Mobile shipped with an unlocked boot loader, but other versions were locked and there was no way to unlock them. There is this "bump" work around, but it's nothing official from LG.

Point is, don't blame moto because it's the carriers that require the lock to stay permanent.

Hey everyone,

I'm having a storage issue with my Nexus 6. My available space is showing up as 32GB even though I have 64GB of real space. When I was on full stock, it showed up correctly, but after I flashed the no-encrypt boot.img in Android Development, Its showing up as 32 GB instead of 64.

You're going to have to do a factory reset from the backup & reset menu. Back up anything you want to keep since it will wipe EVERYTHING on your device. That's the only thing that worked for me when I had the issue with my N5 and that's what is suggested in the toolkit

No need to factory reset, you can fix through TWRP

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scryan:
What did you do and what part didn't work?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StykerB:
quick glance at TWRP makes me think all you need to do is go Wipe>advanced wipe>select data>repair or change file system>RESIZE. it seems like this should do it but having a 32gb n6 I can't test that. doesn't wipe anything so it could be worth a shot
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdannyaitch:
Apologies, am typing from my phone and can't worm out how to link to another thread but there's also a thread where someone else has a 64gb showing 25gb which there are more details on.

Essentially I've flashed the December factory image using fastboot, using various methods:

All stages per the Q&A sticky, including flashing userdata and then using the TWRP method. Also all stages but replacing fastboot flash userdata with fastboot format userdata as I'm aware that the userdata.IMG is not intended for the 64gb.

Trying the TWRP method to resize always ends up with the same result, the red message saying my phone is unstable (or similar, I've seen other threads with the correct message, again apologies but am on my phone).

I've tried locking and relocking OEM lock to see if that helps or not, but nothing does.

My initial request for help on the other thread is because I got a replacement phone under insurance and didn't check if it was 32gb or 64gb and then noticed I only have 25, with the bootloader saying its a 32gb phone. I've asked but have had no answer yet whether the bootloader would change, is would it always actually know its a 64gb even if internal memory only shows it as a 32gb?

Believe it or not, I called Motorola and even with the IMEI and serial number, they could not tell me what my phone was!

I am unable to Wi-FI tether even after doing both tether_dun_required and the net.tether.noprovisioning in the build.prop. Bought straight from GPS, so not sure what I am doing wrong :/

It was a typo by me, the actual string is "net.tethering.noprovisioning"... "tethering" not "tether" after fixing this, all works well. I'd advise anyone struggling to just give spelling another check.

Hey all,

So I had to edit the two files in a specific order. Here's what worked for me on a Sprint Nexus 6.

- Root device

- add the additional line for build.prop

- check to see if you can toggle WiFi tether/hotspot from settings [if so continue]

- add line value to settings.db

- soft reboot

Hope it works.

Just to share what worked for me. It wasn't working for me initially on a Sprint N6 either, but I really didn't want to factory reset. I was able to just recreate the steps you did but replacing the factory reset with a soft reboot and now it's working.

Since I had already made the changes unsuccessfully, I did have to delete then re-add the entries since it does seem to matter the order they were done.

**edit: welp, Nevermind. It worked a few times but now I'm back to seeing the error saying I may not be subscribed.

**edit #2: I had the letter t in "true" capitalized. Changed it to lower case, reboot and it's been working for two days!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephtin:
For those that don't want to edit files (but don't mind spending a couple bucks)... I can confirm that "WiFi Tether Router" app is working as well.

Settings for the N6, as provided by the dev:

Interface wlan0

Method 2

Channel 1

Encryption wpa2-psk

"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED

Verify those, reboot, then open and enable (Root required for it to reset the radio).

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengy007:
From what I could gather from the thread and personal trial and error, this is what worked for me.

1. Unlock

2. Root

3. Download root explorer and sqlite editor

4. Open sqlite editor

4.a - under the files tab navigate to "data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db/global"

4.b - click the + symbol to add a new entry

4.c - In name section put "tether_dun_required" all lower case exactly as it appears here.

4.d - In value section put "0" thats the number zero.

4.e - click save and exit program.

5 Open root explorer

5.a - Under the root tab browse to "/system"

5.b - long press on file "build.prop" choose "open in text editor" choose "yes" to remount as read-write and continue

5.c - add this as a new line to the bottom of the file "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" all lower case exactly as it appears here. Just 1 uppercase letter here can make it not work.

5.d - save and exit

6 Reboot

7 Native tethering should work now.

This is what i did and worked for me and i only had to edit build.prop using the phone. I'm sure that it will work for everyone else. I'm also wondering if there is a way to edit/add the line we need for build.prop without having to root? something like "build.prop net.tethering.noprovisioning=True" in adb shell and it will add the line for us? hope someone can answer this for me please.

1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).

2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options

3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed

4. Start an adb shell: adb shell

5. In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0

Edit the Build.Prop

6. Then open root explorer and open build.prop add net.tethering.noprovisioning=True to bottom

I have the same issue. I upgraded to 5.0.1 using Google's image (I basically unpacked and only flashed the portions I wanted, i.e., kept my recovery, data, and no forced encryption boot images, and flashed system and the other images manually).

I bought my N6 from Sprint, and it had 5.0.0 initially.

I first added the field to the settings.db file, and then edited the build.prop file.

Hot spot does activate now, and I can get devices to connect to my phone - however, just like doczg, I have limited connections and cannot access the internet on the connected device. Someone on reddit mentioned something about Sprint NXDomain hacking, and an init.d script to fix it. I thought I correctly installed the script, but the same behavior happens.

What do I need to do now?

I had no problem editing the build.prop, but the db part has stopped me. I tried SQLite as recommended earlier but when trying to open the DB it says that it doesn't have root access and stops. I have root, how do I tell SQLite? It never asks for access like other root apps I use.

On my old 2013 Moto X Developer Edition I used a similar method while rooted, and tether continued to work after unrooting. The process reported above in this thread worked for my Nexus 6 on VZW as long as I remain rooted. When I unrooted tethering stopped working. The reason that I tried unrooting is that the TiVo app doesn't work on rooted devices, and no one has figured out a way around this "protection". Oh, well. I re-rooted the N6.

Just want to confirm these steps worked for Sprint Nexus 6 running Lolipop 5.1. Just make to make it perfect clear.

Using Sqlite Editor from GPS, go to Files>Data>Data>com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Click on Global

Then press the + sign at the top and add this line: tether_dun_required

Value=0

Then with any root file explorer, I used ES File Explorer, navigate to your phones system files, which is usually / on ES. Open the folder "system" then tap "build.prop". It should ask you if you want to open with HTML Viewer or ES File Editor, use ES File editor.

Add this to the bottom: net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Reboot phone and try it out. Playing Smash Bros on my 3DS online now.
