You saved my life

I have an unlocked lg e980 which I use in Dominican Republic, I love the phone the only problem I had was enabling tethering since it was locked. This is the only way I could enable it. Thank you very much and follow helping people.

LG G2 Tethering (unlocked AT&T on Consumer Cellular)

I successfully rooted and changed the settings.db setting for tether_entitlement_check_state from 5 to 0, and can use tethering, but only with PDANet/FoxFi. However, I can no longer access the phone's "Tethering and networks" in the Settings app.

The only reason that I can think of for needing access to "Tethering and networks" would be if I could try new APN settings to enable LTE, although it might be nice to be able to use tethering without going through PDANet. FWIW, Consumer Cellular was able to get my phone working on AT&T's HSPA+ ("4G") network with custom APN settings.

Has anybody else experienced this issue and have a solution? I have root access (StumpRoot), SuperuserSU, and aSQLiteManager. The inability to go to Settings: Tethering and networks appears to be more related to being rooted than to the entitlement check value, as I tried to change it back and still can't access the settings from the app.

Thanks!
[AT&T LG G2] Masternav:
Problem Solved

Cleared the data and cache on the settings app. That also allow me to turn tethering on directly instead of using PDANet. Hope that this works if anybody else has the same problem.

Answer for AT&T Lollipop Update Hotspot Enable

Settings.db will not open in SQLITE EDITOR directly so move the file from root to sdcard and then edit as per guide. Then again place in the same place and restarted instantly. And Done...

Steps:

>Exact File Location is "\data\data\com.android.prodivers.settings\database\settings.db"

>Cut and paste the file it in anywhere in "\SDCARD" using ES File Explorer after enabling root access from tools in ES.

>Edit using SQLite Editer at new location

>Again Place the file back to it's exact location.

>Restart

Use LG One Click Root for Rooting Lollipop.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. But i was thinking because if it can boot from a usb stick, maybe it can boot from an sd card with a locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
You need a custom kernel, so yes.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BattalBoy1:
When i got multirom on my nexus 5 i don't remember it needing a custom kernel. Or does it automatically flash it when you install multirom through the mulirom manager?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer649:
It needs a custom kernel with kexec-hardboot enabled. I'm 99% sure that no stock kernels on any device come with that already enabled. You need to install either Andro-Plus (4.4.x) or M5 (5.0.x) kernel prior to the whole installation through miltiROM manager. All the multiROM manager does is download the multiROM installer and the modified TWRP recovery for installing secondary ROMs.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BattalBoy1:
Ok thanks for the help. I was wondering because i can't unlock my bootloader because i got my phone from a carrier.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer649:
No way for you to use miltiROM then I'm afraid mate. Carries suck with locking the bootloader.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegios:
Anyone can explain how EXACTLY Privacy Guard is to be used?

What is the difference between having the shield icon on or off?

If I long press an app and for example deny WAKE UP, do I need to also turn the shield on?

As far as i understand the shield icon is to be on ONLY if you want to limit ALSO access to sms, location, contacts and calendar.

Anyone that could shade some light?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You long press on each app to view a list of the permissions for that app. You can adjust those to your liking. Once you're back out in the main list of apps you must short-click on the app, this will enable the adjustments you made and highlight the shield icon to let you know that Privacy Guard is enabled for that app.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegios:
Sorry but I believe this is not true, that's why I am asking...

For example, for GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES I long pressed and I set KEEP AWAKE to DENY, then went back BUT DID NOT SET THE SHIELD TO ON.

If I set the shield to on, when I long press I find KEEP AWAKE to DENY plus a few others (access to calendar, sms, contacts, location) to ALWAYS ASK. If I put the shield back off, when I long press again I see again only KEEP AWAKE to DENY.

You see what I mean?

To me it seems that you have two options to use in combination or either one alone

- long press to decide what you wnat to do manually

- the shield to set to always ask for access to contact, sms, calendar, location

Evidence is... I long press and set KEEP AWAKE=DENY with shield off. Then I set the shield on and when I long press I see KEEP AWAKE=DENY plus ALWAYS ASK for contacts/sms/calendar/location. Then I manually set to ALLOW access to contacts/sms/calendar/location and when I go back the shield is off, and if i long press I see only KEEP AWAKE set to deny.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You're confusing the situation. The other options change when you enable Privacy Guard (shield on) for an app because when you turn it on it assumes that you want some kind of control and those are the default actions when Privacy Guard is enabled.

Going into the app and setting KEEP AWAKE to deny, but failing to enable Privacy Guard (shield on) for that app will result in absolutely nothing happening. You must long press the app name to turn the shield on and enable Privacy Guard for that app for any changes that you've made to come into effect. And in doing so you also enable the predetermined defaults for a selection of the options.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegios:
Then there is something wrong...

I want to simply set for Google Play Services

Wake up : deny

Keep awake : deny

How do I do this?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
What's so confusing? After enabling Privacy Guard for that app just enter it and change those other settings back.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegios:
Try yourself...

Here's what I did...

I enabled shield next to google play service.

I long pressed and found automatically:

- read contact: always ask

- read calls always ask

- read calendar: always ask

- read sms: always ask

I set all the above manually to off plus:

- wake up: deny

- keep awake: deny

I went back and found the shield icon off
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I don't know why that's happening for you. My Privacy Guard is enabled for Google Play Services and I only have the KEEP AWAKE, AUTO START, and WAKE UP options disabled.

Which version of cm u have?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I'm on Vanir-Exodus 0215 build, different ROM but that shouldn't really matter as they use the exact same Privacy Guard.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegios:
Sorry but on CM11s 05Q dies not work this way

I tested with FB Messenger..

Long press

Set access to camera to always ask

Go back and shield is off

Fire fb messenger, create a new message and hit on camera icon to insert a shot: prompt to get access to camera

So it seems that shield is on only if at least one of the following is set to deny or always ask

- access location

- read contact

- read calls

- read calendar

- read sms

If all the above are set to slow and any other setting is on deny or always ask, the shield is off but the changed setting is still working.

Hi All :) ,

Me and my wife just bought 2 brand new and never opened box from a 2 different company , my wife unit is an SM-N910H WHITE and mine is N910U BLACK , that which i bought it 1 week later then her ( I just prefer to buy a 4G LTE version , so i bought it from other company and both company is on Cyprus) , so after when i first open the box and start the inspecting the unit (SM-N910U) my note 4 feels me a fake Note4 like , and i am still suspecting that my Note 4 is not genuie (please see the pictures that i attached ,that why it makes to feel me like that), but however the phone INFO samsung says that it is original, and also my ANTUTU score is about 51300 , and please note that my s-pen is working with buttons and pointer, but i am not sure about that , so , please SM-N910U users help me to identify that my unit is original or Fake (please check my all the pictures that i have attached , see my box type , see the battery and back side of the phone and plese verify that , yours SM-N910U are just same or not :) , i have also searched and checked the google images and youtube videos for trying to found same box info or back side for only SM-N910U series but found out nothing :( ) and beside :) i have a few general questions about SM-N910U series as well at the following :)

1) when i first run my SM-N910U to set up it , it starts with chinese language and a chinese keyboard by default , so , i had switched the language and keyboard to english as well, but the keyboard is there in chinese by default and i am unable to un-tick or remove it (because i never use chinese and it is affecting my sms , handwriting , and s-voice usage style ) , is there any way to remove the chinise language support or keyboard with or without rooting ?? with stock rom as well ?? or if i just flash an other country coded firmware (not hong Kong)with the other modem firmware for the SM-N910U series from sammobile , can it be an international english version with 4G support or not ?? is it possible ??

2) on a some of other forums that i am just checking instractions for rooting my SM-N910U, i have read that, the chinese SM-N910U models (which is i thought mine it is :) ) is not capable with 4G/LTE and it is not fully compatible with 4G/LTE but, my band shows that and selected that "LTE/WCDMA/GSM(auto connect)" is it True or not ??

3) I just rooted my SM-N910U and i think i void my warranty (KNOX 0X1) , is there a way to reset this counter to 0x0 ?? or if i just fully uninstall root from Super su on menu -settings , my SM-N910U counter will be again to 0x0 or not ??

PLEASE NOTE THAT: I DONT THINK TO USE THE SWEET ROM FOR NOW , AND WILL CONTINUE AS STOCK A FEW WHILE

THANKS FOR YOUR HELPS
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amethystx:
IMO. It is real note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shollywood:
Go back to factory and try to do update. If it's real the phone will update.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
its real.

1. no you need to flash a NZ ROM to get rid of chinese input. you cannot flash anything other than a 910u rom.

2. yes 910u supports LTE on some bands.

3. no you cannot reset warranty counter and you have destroyed knox security on the device permanently.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsunggalaxynoteuser:
Thanks for your answer , but how you verified ?? and why the box info and back side sticker is different then the other ??

Thanks for your answer , but when i used the unit the first 10 day without a root access , system was made it self 3 times software update :)

so i heared an program some about called that "triangle" or something like that to reset the counter :D , so doese'nt it applicable ??
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amethystx:
IMO. fake note 4 usually contain 720p HD display. The real contain Quad HD.

The different in this case is easily noticeable, especially somebody with real Quad HD display side by side.

Then if you doesn't state about it screen. I think it is positively sign.

Dear all friends , I want to say thank you for all (each by each :) ) that who just helped me about my questions and validate that my SM-N910U h.k version as a

GENUINE

and now i also agreed and make sure that this model (SM-N910U h.k ) is also an original Note 4 so, the case is closed for me :) , Those users that who have just the exactly same series of Note 4 , and who they could not find any info or pictures for verify it ,and also whose them is not sure that SM-N910U h.k is orjinal or not (like me :) ) can check the comments whose helped me and the pictures that i attached , so if all same with yours :) now you can make sure that its GENUINE SM-N910U h.k , lol :) i also verify that , and finally if the moderator wish to lock the thread he/She can lock it and can change Thread name as SOLVED :) thanks for all again :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsunggalaxynoteuser:
also one more last question to zurkx about flash a NZ ROM , even i asked it about my #5 post but i think Zurkx did not saw it ( thats my mistake :) sorry :) ) , i had asked that if can i also use the NZ modem firmware with the ROM as well ? , or i should not change the modem firm ??
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
yes the modem is the same on all the same models of the phone. so a 910U should have an intel modem (check it before flashing) which should be the same as the NZ intel LTE modem.

Device you have made in china but you're using turkish sim card but you said you buy devices from cyprus.

Another thing is I read this same post weeks ago with diferent names
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samsunggalaxynoteuser:
Dear 1980Aksoy , Due to your Nick name, I am guessing that , you are an Turkish Member as well like me :) but i did not excatly understand that what you mean , but i am assumming that you are from Turkey , and i am from Cyprus , and Cyprus is not belong only to greek cypriots , so i am a turkish cypriot member, so thats why i am using Turkish Sim Card and the operator name is KKTCELL (it is an GSM operator partner of TURKCELL which is at TURKEY) , anyway if you read my #1 post you will understand why i prefered the SM-N910U model , but before i had an SM-N910H that which is the back side product label of the unit was different with the U model (as shown at the pictures) , so i know that the U model was an HK product , but i did not expected a different information label and a simple label (that feels not genuie) like , made by samsung with some chinese letters before i just unbox the unit after i just bought .

However the marketter are here too canny that they sell SM-910H (as an 3G variant) about 1800 TL , and they sell SM-910F (as an 4G variant) about 2300 TL , but even i dont prefer to buy an 4G or LTE version before because of the quad core (snapdragon variant) but after i search some info at google and forums , i found that some of eight cores (Exynos variants) variant work as an LTE as well (like SM-N910U, SM-N910C or SM-N910CQ (which is currently wide on Turkey) , and unfortunately it is hard to find SM-N910U and SM-N910C or SM-N910CQ units on Cyprus , and when i found 1 unit (SM-N910U) :) i bought it as an 3g price :) at 1800 TL :) from the seller ( because some of belives that all the Exynos variant does not support LTE) :) but this supports , :) so if the seller was made sure that this SM-N910U unit supports LTE , she would try to sell it to me as 2300 TL :) as an 4G unit :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billa:
From what I can tell the main board is real because you have gotten OTA updates plus all the graphics look right. But I think the housing is a cheap aftermarket (look at the overspray of the black paint around the back edges), so it could possibly be a factory refurb. To answer your question about the N910F/N910U marking, since the base madel if N910F you will see the "F" even on "U" units, perfectly normal.

Sleep well! :)

Same thing happenned to me. I installed TWRP and the phone just died. Now it turns on and everything but is stuck in bootloop. Main issue is, my recovery just shows TWRP symbol and no options to be able to flash a new rom or a new recovery.

Odin flashes stuff such as cwm, stock rom, but none of these seem to actually have any impact in my phone behaviour.

I think it's just dead yet I just don't want to accept it, I'm trying everything I can to make it work again.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wq2020wdm:
Due to China MIIT's policy, WCDMA and Fdd-lte are blocked in China version. The oneplus offers a crack file, but it only supports color os. And if you clean flash the whole color os or custom rom or cm11s, the crack will be useless.

The follwing is how they block WCDMA and FDD: once the phone detects non-CMCC sim, aka China-Unicom Sim,the phone will automatically build a folder which named policyman in the efs partition. The folder includes two file:carrier_policy.xml and rat_mask. The former controls how to block in different situations,which I can simply change to support WCDMA and fdd. But the latter, I dont know how to open it. Bnd I suppose it controls the mobile network mode after the boot. So after every boot, my phone will be 2g, which lasts 15 seconds, and then be 3g/4g.

So if you're able to open rat_mask or crack totally, please offer a way. Really appreciate for your help!

Here is the policyman folder:https://mega.co.nz/#!eZUTUToS!rwmk7xfXw5jXWOH1EYMcZlkrCNA8MrHW7yILvcW7AJI
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] thegeneralfamily:
Part of me thinks this is a dumb question, and the reason I can't find where these files are located is because root is needed for it, but I guess it's worth a shot...

I purchased NBA JAM from the Google Play Store, and have it installed on my Turbo. It doesn't really work well on it, so I want to play it on my tablet (Nexus 9). However, I can't download it for the N9 via the Play Store as it shows as incompatible. I wanted to extract the apk file from my phone and then sideload it to the N9, but I haven't been able to locate the apk file on my phone.

Sorry for wasting anyone's time whose reading this and thinking "that's what root is for, n00b!", I hope you can at least get a chuckle at my expense :P

I use this. It creates a folder called App_Backup_Restore on you phone and from there I

Thank you both - I went with myappsharer and was able to beam it over (it didn't work, I guess it really wasn't compatible after all, but the file got sent). It was my first time ever beaming - kinda slow and quirky but I guess it's not supposed to be for big files typically.
