[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
I am looking for the best option to get WiFi tethering while keeping stock and ideally OTAs.

As of now, I have unlocked, using TWRP beta recovery , and rooted. WiFi Tether Router is not working on the M9 yet, and I would like to be able to keep my settings and have it be on same level as OTAs.

Is there a hack just for tethering that could possibly be installed as my phone is now, or with S-Off when available? Or is the only alternative installing the Bad Boyz ROM and then finding out how to keep app and phone settings, and staying up to date with OTAs?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
yes, with s-off you may never care to take a official ota, as the firmware shoudl be available & ROMs updated to include the new OTA

but you're not stock....since you're rooted, you wont be able to install otas. there is no difference if you flashed a custom ROM....either way, your /system has changed & you'll have to jump thru hoops to get it back to untouched status to install a ota....u might as well flash a custom ROM to see how the phone should really perform.

honestly, I can't understand how anyone here would want to stay stock, so much bloatware & BS, it's rediculous.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
So, applying your ROM *should* keep my data, and if so, your ROM would be kept current with the OTA version. Then, I would just have to flash the firmware each time, or is the firmware part of the ROM?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
yes, a dirty flash "should" be ok....yes, we always update ROM w/ every new OTA, you would just need to flash firmware (need s-off)
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] breagi:
Any idea when? No tethering on my M9 is killing me and the app wifi tether router isn't supporting it.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] ReproOne:
It is available now if you are running BadBoyz.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] breagi:
I'm hoping for the mod for my stock rooted rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] tws101:
Honestly I understand the appeal of running stock

BUT

Bad Boys is based on stock with sprints extra crap removed.

Native tether working perfectly.

Excellent battery life

Greater Customization

I was a stock rooted only person myself but now that I made the switch to a rom I would not go back. Rom Developers fix issues way faster than sprint/htc.

My native Wi-Fi will allow devices to connect, but, no Internet? Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] nxtc1275:
You have to edit the database.

Whoa doggie!!

Seriously? That's way over my head. Isn't there Any ROMs that work with WiFi tether for the M9?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Aldo101t:
I think it works on bad boyz rom and I know it works on viperone 2.3.1
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] nxtc1275:
I'm using BadBoyz ROM v1.1 & still had to edit the database directly to achieve working native HotSpot over 4G/LTE.

Pre-requisites:

- Install TWRP Recovery v2.8.6.4 beta

- Have hTC's STOCK RUU ROM v1.32.651.30 in place (yes, STOCK. Backtrack your ROM, if not). I'm on Sprint.

- Download SuperSU ZIP (for TWRP Install) to sdCARD root. Not from Play Store.

- Mount system partition manually with TWRP console.

- Install SuperSU zip from TWRP to achieve root of the stock RUU.

- Boot into OS & confirm successful root.

- Disable USB Debugging in Developer Options.

- Download & install Sunshine.APK to achieve S-OFF.

- Download & install SQLite Editor

- Open database '/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/cdmaapn.db

- Select 'carriers'

- Scroll to APN's with '1' in the current column.

- Edit APN labeled 'Internet' & delete 'hidden'. Leave blank & save.

- Go to Settings > Mobile Data

- Open Access Point Names & tap the APN.

- In the APN type section add ",dun" (without quotes). It should then read: default,mms,supl,hipri,dun

...with no space after.

- Tap the APN protocol & change it to read, "IPv4" (without quotes).

Reboot then you should be golden. That's the gist of it.

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

I could get a lot more granular with those instructions but I'm a newb & can't embed links, etc.

Main credit goes to the person who's link I originally cited, for what to actually edit in the database.

Main roadblocks:

Buying Sunshine.

Can't use a 3rd party ROM to execute Sunshine.apk in order to achieve S-OFF.

If you're already enjoying a modded ROM you will have to give it up temporarily to re-apply the stock RUU, root it manually, THEN get Sunshine to do its business.

You won't be able to touch the database without S-OFF achieved first.

Even then, several SQLite editors fail to open the database. I ended up using SQLite Editor by Weavebytes, successfully, & without having to buy the Pro version.

In this TWRP, the installation of SuperSU done manually won't work lest you've mounted the system partition just PRIOR.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] jjr1968:
Not on BadBoyz

It's not working with my Bad Boyz. Maybe I'll try viper 2.3.1
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] jjr1968:
any idea how to get 2.3.1 ?? I've been searching and can't find that specific ROM number.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] Aldo101t:
over at the international forums, venomroms.com

actually you'll have to do 2.3.0 then flash the ota 2.3.1 2.3.0.is a full rom

Bad Boyz v2 with Android v5.1 for Sprint is out, now.

http://xdaforums.com/sprint-one-m9/...oyz-sprint-one-m9-romz-5-0-2-1-t3083799/page6

Something I was unaware of (& MAY be possible without S-OFF); in order to resolve, 'no Internet gateway over 4G LTE native HotSpot' - is to do the following (credit FMJ of Bad Boyz):

"Boot into TWRP, mount system, goto advanced/file manager.

Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/cdmaapn.db & delete it (it will be rebuilt on boot up).

4g tether should be good then."

I didn't know the CDMA APN database would regenerate after nuking it. Try it! Do a Nandroid backup, first.

Been looking forward to this ROM update for Sprint...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] agentfusion:
I know this is kind of an older topic, but in case anyone finds it with the forum search feature, YES YES YES. Tethering works perfectly with ViperM9.

Straight after booting, Wi-Fi hotspot, USB and Bluetooth tethering ALL work flawlessly.

[LG Optimus Black] Hughieg55:
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I want to say thanks to xda-developers for helping me thru the painful process of updating my P970 from 4.0.4 to 4.4.4 - and Wow, what a difference!!!

I want to give a few details of what I did, and what worked and didn't work. Firstly, I'd like to stress I did this on my OLD phone (my current phone is a Moto G running Android 5), so I had nothing to lose if I did brick it.

The Big NOOB how-to! and Upgrade Kit 3.7.5 |App 2 | Root, Flash, Unbrick, Tuts…were REALLY USEFUL but some of links were out-of-date or didn’t work so I had to do some searching around to find the downloads I needed.

I used Kingo ROOT to root my phone. I copied the latest NamelessROM Nightly to the SD card. At this stage I tried taking a shortcut and tried to use firstly ROM Installer and then ROM Manager to install the ROM. Neither of these apps worked and ROM Manager installed CWM which, I understand, is a no-no if you’re trying to update from 4.0.4 ICS v30B. It was at this stage I got the dreaded ‘Security error’ on the boot up screen. So I used SmartFlashTool to reinstall the 4.0.4 ICS v30B ROM. The procedure is described in this thread but I actually downloaded SmartFlashTool from the link in this Handy Forum thread – yes, it’s in german but it’s got a nice screenshot and the download links work.

I decided to try updating to 4.4.4 again but this time manually. I downloaded the latest version of TWRP from here and followed the procedure here to install it.

I also needed to run unlock bootloader as described in this thread, downloading the attached OptimusBlackBootloaderUnlocked.rar file and copying to my SD card.

I used TWRP to install the new ROM – a moment of triumph when it rebooted into 4.4.4 !!.

However, TWRP gave an error when I tried to install the full version of GAPPS that I had download to my SD card as a zip file – it was too large to install. Eventually I downloaded a Paranoid Android mini GAPPS from here and installed it successfully. By now I was using adb to push files from my PC to my SD card – much more convenient than having to take the micro SD card out and insert it (in an adaptor) into the SD slot on my laptop. The adb tutorial was useful for this and has download links.

So finally I have a rejuvenated Optimus Black running fully fledged Android KitKat 4.4.4. It’s vastly faster than 4.0.4 which took ages to fully boot, spending ages scanning for media files etc.

This is what worked for me. There's probably far easier/quicker ways of doing it that others in xda-developers can recommend, but I'm glad that as noobie I've been able to rejuvenate my old phone.

A big THANK YOU to all in xda-developers who made it possible.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMJB0188:
I have my new HTC One M9 I bought directly from HTC, unlocked. The phone works perfect with AT&T; however, I am wondering why I can't make calls over LTE? I am in an HD voice market. Could it be because my nano sim is old (got it from my iPhone 5). Or could it be because the phone itself isn't running AT&T software on it? My LTE speeds don't seem that much better than my iPhone 5 either. Any suggestions?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclive:
I used a toolkit with no problem and I am on Verizon.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Let's clear this up.

On an android device there are 2 things that can be locked.

1 - SIM lock. Some carriers lock this as they subsidised phones so they only want you to use it in their network

2 - the bootloader

On some other android devices, some carrier versions have either a locked bootloader or an unlockable bootloader, when other versions of the same phone do not.

However, unlike other android devices, there isn't any difference between the carrier versions. There are only 2 models of nexus 6. The North America version and the international. Both models are identical hardware wise, except different radio bands.. The carrier "versions" are all the same except logos, boot animations and sounds. That's it.

On the nexus 6, they all have a locked but completely unlockable bootloader. There is one process for root. Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery then from there either flash a ROM or flash a SuperSU.zip
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
This would be news to me and I've had the phone since it launched on Sprint. AFAIK, the phone is rooted/unlocked in the same manner regardless of carrier. The AT&T version is Sim locked and possibly Rogers as well. That's it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
well said!

but one correction. when flashing a rom, well most but not all roms, you also have to flash supersu for root. or you wont have root on that rom :D

Good point. What I should have said is flash a rooted ROM.
