[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyv01:
I am on Sprint.

I was able to use the "build.prop" edit and the "settings.db" edit with "5.0.1~5.1.1" and everything work fine.

I cannot get native hotspot to work on my N6 with either stock "M" or with "JDX".

My issue, I believe, is I have no "settings.db" in my "com.android.providers.settings/databases/" folder.

On stock "M" with build.prop edit I can toggle HotSpot on and connect devices; only with no internet data transfer.

With "JDX P11/P12" I have same issue. Devices connect without internet data transfer.

Without beaing able to edit the settings.db for the provider settings I feel this is my issue.

USB Tether on either ROM fails to transfer data as well.

My 1st question is why is the file missing on either "M" stock or "JDX"?

My 2nd question is does anyone know of a solution for Native HotSpot on "M" with Sprint service?

I can flash 5.1.1 LMY47Z and settings.db is back.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenpoAP:
The latest builds from jdx all contain both edits and is working fine... I had to format data in order for it to work but all is fine... BTW the file is named settings.db.backup... If I can recall it correctly... But with JDX there's no need to add those lines. They are included in the Rom...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyv01:
Alright, so I started over from scratch.

I performed a complete wipe of the phone. Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, and Cache.

Re-flashed Bootloader and Radio provided in [ROM] [M] JDX 1.0 Thread.

Used TWRP to flash JDX 1.0.12 Zip also provided in [ROM] [M] JDX 1.0 Thread.

Formated data partition.

Booted phone and waited for 12+minutes before using the phone.

Performed a Factory Reset for safe measure.

Waited again for 12+ minutes after boot up to attempt HotSpot.

Devices:

HP Pavilion dv7 (Win 7)

Nexus 7 "2013 WIFI/Rooted" (5.1.1)

ASUS Transformer T701T "Stock/Un-Rooted" (4.4.2)

Samsung Note 4 "Stock/Unrooted" (5.0.1)

All connect, but without internet data transfer.

P.S. Sorry everyone for the lengthy posts. Just trying to cover the troubleshooting process. Maybe reveal what I am doing wrong.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KenpoAP:
Any progress buddy?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyv01:
I flashed JDX P12 in about 3 or 4 different processes and never can get internet data to transfer.

Hotspot will start up without any faults/errors and the devices that connect don't give the no internet errors.

Pages or apps will not transfer data.

Just went back to LMY47Z.

Sucks, because I love "M".

Has anybody figured out how to access the settings.db file yet on m preview? Just like everybody else sqlite editor doesn't work, and adding via terminal had no effect either. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0

do that in adb shell and the build.prop edits. Tethering works for me on M2.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Highway 55:
Are you on Sprint?

I've put that command directly into an SU terminal and now over an ADB shell along with the build.prop edit (I've never needed the build.prop edit before, only the sqlite edit)... Still no dice.

Are we talking about the same build.prop edit, or am I missing something?

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true ?

Don't know about Sprint. I am on Verizon and only the build.prop edit is required. Sorry. I'm on 5.1.1. Not M. I only run stable builds. :cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Yea that one.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Highway 55:
What version of SuperSU did you flash? I flashed the latest beta and I think that root isn't working correctly. I granted permission to root explorer to make the /system folder RW but it doesn't actually change. Therefore my build.prop edits don't take. Build.prop editor doesn't work either even though I grant root...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
pull or copy the build.prop to your computer then make the edits there. Push it back to system in recovery. Pushing and Pulling...its old school android. :good::highfive:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Highway 55:
I briefly thought of that, I'm just too lazy to go old school. I suppose I can try that tomorrow...

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psyv01:
Hey man, I had a time trying to get my hotspot to work on M1, 2, and 3. Only way that I could get it to work was use JDX and the I tried this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter I set it up for a Nexus and when I enabled it the phone froze then rebooted. I tried native hotspot after the reboot and it finally started working. Removed the previously mentioned app and have been all good now.

Sprint Nexus 6 Wifi Tethering *root* UPDATED WORKING
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffyter:
Hey doing it the abd way worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommy1121:
This doesn't work on the latest Nov update but will work for the rest. The reason is because in the new update they have hidden or moved the settings and the command errors. I am in a process of looking for a resolution. If someone finds it before I do please share.

Need a working ADB CMD

To Enable Tether

adb shell

su -

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

mount -o remount, rw /system

echo "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" >> /system/build.prop

exit

exit

adb reboot

Just copy and paste if you want. That's what I do.

oh, I got it to work a while ago, just temp booted to twrp and adb worked fine
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisfsk:
Hi, can you tell me a instruction of how to do it from twrp ? thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A2CKilla:
Well i used wug fresh tool kit to temp boot TWRP (you can always do it manually) then it was just as simple as mounting the system and using adb like normal, nothing special on my end
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Can you explain this step by step ? Once you are booted into TWRP, go to mount /systems, open a command window ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommy1121:
Sure ill do my best..

But like I said this will work up to (MRA58K) but not after due to ADB cannot find “settings” to input the command for global tethering.

First you will have to make sure that you have the first release of 6.0, MRA58K, or lower and have root access. If you meet these conditions then the rest should work fine.

Then follow these step.

1.	Root phone

2.	Reboot phone in to OS

3.	Go to Settings, about phone, click build number 5 times to become a Dev.

4.	Go to Settings, Developer Options, turn Android Debugging on.

5.	Download and install - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118

6.	Plug the phone into the computer and make sure that the computer recognizes it as a Google ADB. If it doesn’t then make sure that you have the drivers installed and use device manager to make it read the phone. Need more help google “install nexus drivers” something will come up that will help.

7.	With phone connected and adb, fastboot, and drivers installed, open a command window by hitting the windows key and then searching for CMD.

8.	Open CMD

9.	Type the provided code and hit enter after every line.

a.	adb shell

b.	su – (please not I have a space after su) go to phone and allow super user access

c.	settings put global tether_dun_required 0

d.	mount -o remount, rw /system

e.	echo "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" >> /system/build.prop

f.	exit

g.	exit

h.	adb reboot
​

10.	Test tethering but going to the settings, more, Tethering and portable hotspot, portable Wi-Fi hotspot and turn that on. If you don’t get a message, Sprint users like me, saying that im not subscribed then you are good to go.

If done correctly and androids version allows it, you will not get errors and the codes will write and allow the native tethering. Like mentioned before, the update that started in November blocks access to the settings via any ADB commands and you will have to use a custom rom that has it backed in for native tethering. I had to go this route and gave up stock which is a sad face. I only needed root for tethering unlock. With this method you can have complete stock and root then type a few commands in and you will have native tethering unlocked and be on with your day. But google has stopped a simple thing from happening.

If you have any more questions I will try to answer them but keep in mind that the code provided is while android is on and running.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Thanks for the information, I will try this out. Is there currently not a method for wifi tethering for MRA58N or MRA58R ? If I have upgraded already to 58N or 58R, can I downgrade to 58K so I have access to wifi tethering ? Thanks again for the info, this helps out a lot!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommy1121:
to my knowledge no. the latest update blocks all commands to "settings" probably due to its not in the system partition where the previous builds had it. for now i cannot find it however, if anyone can find where this file is we can try some commands that will patch the code in. i have searched but i have limited knowledge of developing. :( it took me about a week of research just to come up with the simple code that i have. but if i find a new method ill post it here. for now im using "PureNexus Project" for native tethering. I am actually liking this ROM. Its stock android, latest build, and has extra settings. I haven't found any bugs thus far. However, when charging and trying to actively use the phone you will eventually notice the phone overheating and lagging after about 15-20 minutes. other than that i have found it fast and very stable.

best of luck.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Thanks for the info. I downloaded Pure Nexus Project and will use that. I originally wanted to try the stock Google ROM which I can keep as a nandroid, but it is also nice too having these features right out of the box in the ROM. Native wifi tethering is one feature I use very heavily since I have to travel and mainly the reason why I root (among a few other). Do you ever run Cyanogenmod ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Edit: just going to flash custom rom instead. Can't get it to work stock
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Wasn't able to get it to work on stock tried both the prop bin edit and data data edit. Which version of pure nexus do you have which tethering works? The 11/21 or 12/1?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinaldistic:
I run cyanogenmod and it runs beautifully AND tethering I'd allowed by default, cm has never cared to check provisioning
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
I noticed cyanogenmod does not even do very many snapshots anymore. All I saw were the nightlies. Which nightly have you been using ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinaldistic:
I'm running the latest marshmallow nightly and honestly I don't see why they don't have snapshots out, it's perfect other than a few missing settings and the camera OCCASIONALLY refusing to start
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Thanks. I'll check it out. I just flashed the Pure Nexus ROM...haha...tether is working, plus you can customize the notification lights, etc....so far great ROM. Will try out Cyanogenmod next.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommy1121:
Update..

6.0.1 (MMB29S)

with out root but you will need to be able to boot into a custom recovery... use all commands not touching the phone required if adb commands work.

1.	Cmd with adb properties

a.	adb shell

b.	settings put global tether_dun_required 0

reboot phone into fastboot and then

adb reboot bootloader

2.	fastboot boot “custom recovery”

3.	in cmd without touching the phone physically.

a.	adb shell

b.	mount /system

c.	echo "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" >> /system/build.prop

warning you will have a message about modified boot… the phone will still load to android just wait.

I'm interested.. I had to mount /system and that throws a flag when do so. How are you able to push code to /system/build.prop with out mounting and modifying /system. So if you have a better way please please share. ;) the message is brief but a little annoying. Lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ingenium13:
Boot up normally and make sure Developer mode is on. In an adb shell:

settings put global tether_dun_required 0
su
echo "setprop net.tethering.noprovisioning 1;" > /su/su.d/0000tether.script
chmod 700 /su/su.d/0000tether.script

and then reboot. I don't remember if the tether_dun_required line needs to be run as root or not, but I think it's fine running it not as root.

Sprint knows

I have a question. So I have done these steps on two nexus 6 phones and both have working tethering. I just received a letter from Sprint saying that I have used 75% of my data on tethering. I didn't subscribe to tethering and I thought this was supposed to make it so that Sprint can't see if I'm tethering. Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ingenium13:
They can still see it, it just disables the check in Android to see if you have tethering on your account. I'm not sure which method Sprint is using to determine tethering (they likely use a combination), but the easiest is to look at the TTL on the packets. Packets from tethering have a TTL of 1 less than ones originating from the phone. Or they can look at the user agent on HTTP requests.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viperboy423:

Hello all,

I have a Verizon branded M8 AND have recently switched to TMob. The M8 is running 4.4.4 and is unfortunately still S-on and locked. Am I just stuck with a useless $600 phone until the Sunshine several developers come up with a way? Is that the only outfit with the capability of rooting this phone right now? Thanks in advance to anyone with any info.
[Hardware Hacking General] grtbhl:
Did you try calling verizon to get the unlock code?

If you have been with them for long, they will probably give it to you for free or maybe charge a fee but well you can use your phone then.

If they are unwilling to give you the unlock code then just say that you are gifting it to someone special or donating it. Just come up with a good humane reason and surely they will help.

They will also show you the procedure to unlock it.

Also as far as my knowledge goes, it is not possible to remove your phone carrier's lock using custom firmware.

[Hardware Hacking General] grtbhl:
See the htc forums on xda too.

Sim lock cannot be removed by flashing or installing custom firmwares. There is a separate procedure to unlock htc phones and their bootloaders.

I am familiar with htc sensation unlocking but don't know if it is the same for M8.

Will update you when I reach a full fledged computer with the relevant links.

You can also search the xda forums.

I am quite familiar with the htc bootloader and the unlock process. The process includes going to the htc Dev site and getting an unlock token that you then flash to the device using fastboot command. The problem is that verizon seems to be the only carrier who has somehow not allowed this. When you put your a string in on the dev site it comes back with a message saying "your carrier doesnt support" somethin like that neway.... i am wondering though if there is a way to do something at a more physical hardware layer. I mean it is jus a qualcomm chip at the end of the day... if i were to crack it open physically would i be able to access a non populated jumper that would completely erase the eeprom??
