[Moto X Q&A] mortadelax:
Hi everyone. As the title says, I'm new to the moto x 2013 (xt1058). I have experience flashing roms and kernels with another device, so I'm not new to this kind of stuff.

I wonder whats the differecen between the two forum branches: "moto x 2013 android development" and "orgininal moto x 2013 android development".

My stock android is 4.4.2

Do you guys recommend me some roms, or should stay on stock?

I'm not a big fan of bleeding edge soft, but I'm VERY insterested on stability, smoothness, non-bug, non-lag sistems. (If you know MiniCM7 by nobodyatall, you'll get the idea).

So, with all that said, again...Do you guys recommend me some roms, or should stay on stock?

Thank you very much! :p

Whether you stick with stock or a custom ROM is your personal choice. Both have their own pros and cons, and there are plenty of roms to compare 'em all.
[Moto X Q&A] mortadelax:
Ok, thanks! So, where can I find more stable and bugs-free roms ? (no matter if it is KK or LL)

What I understand from the link you gave, is that original forum has developers own work, and that make me think this is the forum for me. Am I right?
[Moto X Q&A] mortadelax:
I see almost everything is experimental. Nothing to do here, I guess...
[Sony Xperia M2] Ismar_:
I've always wanted to root my phone but didn't want to loose my warranty. So recently my 1 year warranty ended and now I would like to root my phone but I'm not sure how to do it and this is the only forum that i really trust.

I have the latest android version installed (5.1.1) and my phone is the Xperia M2 D2303.

It says that I can't unlock my bootloader "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"

If someone could explain how to root it please do so.

Thanks in advance :D
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Only way to get root on 5.1 LB is by flashing a pre-rooted zip via recovery on rooted kk. If you have already updated then you'll need to downgrade back to kk then root(now much easier). Install recovery and then make your own pre-rooted firmware using the prf creator tool

[Nexus 6  General] Crios:
Google made a change from Android 4.1.2 which allows operators to know when users are using tethering and conveniently block tethered devices from accessing internet.

This can be fixed permanently using the following procedure and no root required on all rom types (stock, mod):

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

Tested on Nexus 5 & 6 with Marshmallow STOCK ROM
[Nexus 6  General] pmhesse:
Just tried this on a freshly imaged Verizon Nexus 6 with Marshmallow, and I'm still getting the prompt for subscribing to tethering.
[Nexus 6  General] wishkah:
Can you do this with sqlite editor? If so, how?
[Nexus 6  General] Ocelot13:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Pasted at end of build prop. Save. Reboot. Done.
[Nexus 6  General] trent999:
Can this be tried even if the Nexus6 boot loader is locked, without unlocking it ?
[Nexus 6  General] nexus6r3plicant01:
You need root to edit the build prop like this but you can also edit the build prop thru adb commands
[Nexus 6  General] DebianDog:
I'm on Verizon and that's what I did also.
[Nexus 6  General] imnuts:
You don't need root to do it, you can make the change via recovery and adb shell commands.
[Nexus 6  General] giant22000:
I'm not sure this can be done with sqlite editor anymore because when I go to the file path data>data>com.android.providers.settings>databases there is no longer a settings.db in that location to edit.

Maybe I'm missing something.... IDK???

editing the build.prop worked for me! thanks guys/gals
[Nexus 6  General] Larzzzz82:
Is Rooot needed to do this through adb?
[Nexus 6  General] trent999:
That is my question, too.

For right now, I want to wait to unlock and root. I have reasons...

Can I edit and replace build.prop somehow under those conditions ?

I have ADB and fastboot both working and have pulled a copy of the stock Lollipop build.prop onto my laptop. I can edit it, but can I push the revised copy back with the boot loader still locked and no root ?

I read somewhere about achieving temporary root via fastboot booting twrp, instead of flashing, but that fails for me and I cannot find the referencing thread.
[Nexus 6  General] meest:
Same boat here. I'd love to enable this, but don't want to do too much as I'm switching to a 6P in two weeks.

Do you need root to mod this? i'm not able to R/W system without it I assume?
[Nexus 6  General] pmhesse:
So, this link provides information on how to make the modifications to the build.prop without root which is what I needed to make things happen on Verizon. Note that this does make the scary This device is corrupt... message appear at bootup. Specific steps I followed (assuming you've got adb working and USB debugging enabled):

- Download TWRP 2.8.7.1 from here

- adb reboot bootloader

- fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.1-shamu.img

- When TWRP finishes booting, click Mount and check the box for /system

- adb pull /system/build.prop

- Use your favorite text editor to add the line net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to the build.prop file you just downloaded off the phone. Save the file.

- adb push build.prop /system/

- adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop

- adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0

- adb reboot

And voila. When you reboot you'll be able to tether. At least I was.
[Nexus 6  General] trent999:
Yes, the above is what I have been looking at, but it is important to realize it requires an unlocked bootloader, which requires a total phone wipe.

Plus I am concerned that this will prevent any future OTA, like to Marshmallow for mine, and also make it impossible to use Android Pay on that device, if those issues matter to you.

Yes, I know it is self-limiting to have a stock, locked N6.
[Nexus 6  General] DA6030:
Also note that this will also make you unable to apply any future OTAs (neither pushed to you by Google, nor sideloaded via ADB).

18 months ago, before /system validation became a thing, I would have recommended this method to a lot of "casual" modders - booting to TWRP to fix a couple things, and then going on their merry way with an unrooted "stock" (or close enough to it as to not matter) device.

Now that /system validation is a thing (breaks OTA applicability, dm-verity), I wonder if it's actually more advisable that people keep TWRP installed, and take the time to fully educate themselves about what they're doing, so that in the future they can fix things themselves more easily (and manually apply the monthly security patches, etc.).

I'm honestly not sure about the right answer - what do folks think?
[Nexus 6  General] meest:
Ah. I don't have TWRP installed. Thats what I was missing. I went full stock besides my unlocked bootloader with Marshmallow. Not being able to Android Pay also sucks as I do use that. Wonder if I set it up first, then do this if it will let me still use the cards I load.
[Nexus 6  General] smclaughlin3:
So the command did not work but adding the net..etc to build prop worked anyone in T-Mobile done this yet? Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] Durthquake:
Correct, the command didn't work, but the line at end of build.prop did. Should work for any carrier.
[Nexus 6  General] JW09I4:
My hunch is you've corrupted the SELinux permission structure by trying to modify system files without being rooted. The way you're attempting to edit the build.prop is not the proper way of doing so. The whole point of rooting is to gain the ability to mount the system partition rw and obtain root permissions. You cannot modify system files without being rooted and expect the OS to function normally... I'm not sure why you're attempting to edit the build.prop in the manner you are. Simply flashing a custom recovery and using adb does not mean you can edit system files... If it really was that simple, there'd be no reason to root a device.

Verity has three levels of corrupted notification errors, with the last being a refusal to boot into the OS. You've essentially made it so your device believes its been exploited by malware. You can try returning the build.prop to default, however it still may not result with the correct checksum. Your best bet is to reflash the firmware, root, make the changes you need, and then unroot if you don't wish to remain rooted.

[Nexus 6  General] skennelly:
This no longer works for me on MMB29Q. The modified build.prop saves as a blank file and I have to restore the original build.prop.

It's ridiculous every 10 - 20 posts someone asks the exact same thing about build.prop edits failing... This thread has addressed that more than anything else over the past few weeks or so, and why many forum users, on any forum, seem to be under the impression they shouldn't read the last page, at least the last 10 posts, prior to posting a question is quite baffling.

I'll put my steps so that the next person who needs it can see it at the end of the thread.

Nexus 6 stock and rooted February security updates 6.01

Installed Root Browser

deleted books.apk from systems/apps

modified build.prop by opening it up from root browser. Opened up with TXT editor when it asked which app you wanted to open it with.

added net.tethering.noprovisioning=true at the end of it and saved.

rebooted the phone and it no longer checked for the subscription and hotspot was enabled successfully

This is with my verizon sim with unlimited data plan.
[Nexus 6  General] TheAceOfSpades:
Maybe if we all post from now on with the instructions back to back, eventually there will be a full page with those instruction laid out ;) Further helping the end user from having to do an extra step such as click the "search thread" button.

-Modify build.prop by opening it up with an app (such as root browser).

-Add to the very bottom:

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

-Reboot

-Profit​

I'll quote you just to add to it. :)
[Nexus 6  General] najoor:
So you don't have time to spend 2 minutes searching (not reading) the "f'ing" thread but you expect others to spend the same amount of time or more reading and answering your f'ing question? Isn't that awesome for you...

Let me guess, you must be a high level manager in a failing company...
[Nexus 6  General] JW09I4:
There's better ways to get your point across than with crude language and being rude. One should never reply with something they wouldn't want said to themselves.​

If a user doesn't wish to take 90 seconds out of their day to perform a thread search, then the user probably shouldn't be attempting whatever it is they're attempting... it really is that simple. Considering XDA runs one of the best forum software interfaces, there's no excuse for a user not to utilize it.

On top of that, it defies logic, as I laid out for a user yesterday.... it takes what, 5 minutes to either search a thread or peruse the last 10 - 20 posts, whereas the average time in between user responses is greater than 5 minutes. If one truly is looking for a solution to whatever problem they have, why wouldn't one take an avenue that will probably get them to their solution in a more efficient manner?​

The issue is this has been asked and answered well over 5x in the past couple of weeks within this thread. I've personally written extremely detailed answers as to why this specific issue occurs and how to fix it, covering at least 10 posts in this thread alone. Repetitive questions about the same issue by multiple users, who., for reasons that befuddle the mind, can't be bothered to use a simple tool, such as thread search, clutter the thread and make it more difficult for other users to navigate through. It would be one thing if this had only been answered once or twice, but it's been answered well over 5x with extremely detailed responses by a plethora of users.

If, as a user, one is unwilling to help themselves [and others] by using a thread search tool, then perhaps one should put off whatever they're trying to accomplish until one has the 90 seconds to perform a search and thus be respectful of other users.​

That works. Thanks a bunch!
[Nexus 6  General] Bad Bimr:
Just flashed the latest stock 6.0.1 image MMB29Q. I have Verizon Unlimited use tethering all the time. Lots of dirrernt methods mentioned on this post. At this point the phone is 100% pure stock. Was going to use Wug's Nexus Toolkit to root but now confused if I should or not (Post #96). Will rooting and editing the build prop with "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" work with the latest 6.0.1.

Thanks

BB
[Nexus 6  General] JW09I4:
yes, it works regardless of build. As mentioned in my prior post, the build.prop edit enables the ability to tether, while the second command edits the settings com (as it's no longer editable via SQL), disabling entitlement. The only reason why Android phones are restricted from tethering is due to the entitlement option within the settings com.

Provided entitlement isn't coded into the OS differently, which is doubtful since it's been stored in the same settings com since at least as far back as Android 2.x, it will remain the same regardless of build.
[Nexus 6  General] Bad Bimr:
So root device. Edit the build prop with ES or other. Use terminal emulator to run commands per post# 96

As for rooting is one way Chainfire systemless root vs Wug's any different or better? Is one proffered over the next?

Thanks

BB
[Nexus 6  General] JW09I4:
I've never used Wug's, as I've been using ChainFire's apps and root methods for years. Chainfire's is completely automated, less the one fastboot boot command, however if you use his, you

must

allow the system to boot immediately following the issuing of the fasboot boot command and you

cannot

interrupt the boot loops that will occur, as doing so will soft brick your phone and you will have to reflash the firmware.

On a side note, if utilizing CF Auto Root immediately following a clean firmware flash, but prior to booting into Android and completing OOBE, you must complete the OOBE initialization prior to shutting down or rebooting the device. I'm not sure why, however it appears shutting down or rebooting during OOBE will soft brick the device and you'll have to reflash.
[Nexus 6  General] JesterGrafix:
Just wanted to say thanks. I got this working on a Sprint Nexus 6 on 6.0.1 (newest build). I am stock rooted through Wugfresh. All I did was open ES File Explorer, go to build.prop, at the very end entered "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" (without quotes). Then went into Terminal Emulator and entered the following (from post 96)

su (press enter)

settings put global tether_dun_required 0 (press enter)

exit (press enter)

Then I exited terminal emulator, tested on my Nexus 7 and everything worked fine. Thanks again for everyone's help!!!
[Nexus 6  General] falcon9094:
When using this edit and trying to update to the new security update what steps need to be done?
[Nexus 6  General] JW09I4:
In reference to what?

If you're asking what steps need to be done to maintain the edits, it depends on how your perform the update, however it's likely the build.prop will be overwritten during the update. Settings com edit maintains unless the system partition is reflashed.
[Nexus 6  General] imex99:
Will this work on N ota or how can I get this done with bootloader unlocked and no root?
[Nexus 6  General] JW09I4:
How exactly do you propose editing the files you need to edit without root access?
[Nexus 6  General] imex99:
I've used the adb method via loading twrp.... Then pushing build prop via adb usually and wouldn't work last night. Going to try again tonight after work.
[Nexus 6  General] JW09I4:
Simply because one has a custom recovery flashed does not mean one has root access. Please take the time to google what root access is and you'll find the answer you're looking for.

I understand, and appreciate, the fact users across any forum will have varying levels of knowledge about any specific subject matter, however, if one proposes a question and within that question implies they're a dev (i.e. by implying one has compiled and flashed N), one also implies they understand what root is and why a user wants root access.

Root is not an action, albeit it is often used as such... it is a level of access to the filesystem, and to those familiar with Windows, the exact same as running a program as Administrator. It is impossible to make any changes to a read only file, directory, or partition unless one is able to make the file, directory, or partition writeable. In Android, the system partition is ro (Read Only), so again my question... How exactly do you propose editing the files you need to edit without root access?

Just an FYI... Android N should not be used on a production device (i.e. one that is a user's primary device), as it's a beta OS. If you don't want to utilize an exploit in order to gain root access, I would encourage flashing a ROM, such as CM13 (CyanogenMod), which incorporates a soft root vs a hard root (exploits are hard roots).
[Nexus 6  General] imex99:
Ok, quit being a Mr. Know it all.... I told u already how I did it on M without root. I don't want or need root on M and my standard version of adb pushing and pulling the build prop wasn't working....

I posted in here, asking someone who's helpful and doesn't belittle people!

If you can't be constructive and put ur nose down on people who don't know as much as you.

I can flash images, root, etc... I want pay to work across all updates and not mess with getting it to work again.

I joined the android N beta program yesterday and downloaded and installed N via OTA last night.

[Nexus 6  General] JW09I4:
To believe one is being arrogant for explaining something to you that you obviously have little to no understanding of is simply ignorant.

Let's try having some personal responsibility...

You refused to read the last page and/or the last 10 posts on this thread

You refused to take the time to utilize the thread search functionality

You refused to educate yourself with a full understanding of what you were attempting, prior to attempting it

On top of all of that, this thread has spent more time explaining repeatedly to users who refuse to take the few seconds to utilize the thread search functionality why they can't edit the build.prop, than addressing actual issues in reference to the thread topic. If you don't want someone to point these facts out to you, then have some personal responsibility.

I'd encourage you to re-read the post you linked to, as you misinterpreted the sentence you're referencing.

"...And make sure you don't let TWRP install root, it won't work."

This isn't telling you to not root, but to not allow TWRP to install root when you exit, as that method by chainfire does not function on 6.0+

Again, you cannot edit files on a read only partition without root access... had you bothered to have some personal responsibility and taken the few seconds to search this thread, you would have found this has been addressed in over 20 118 different posts.
[Nexus 6  General] Jimlarck:
He never said he wanted root, he said he was trying to push something through adb while in twrp and it wasn't working. This usually works without root. You went waay off-topic trying to flex and seem intelligent you forgot what he had actually asked and just wasted your time. I don't know who you're trying to impress, most of us aren't your type anyway.
