When I pull build.prop while in twrp recovery, my extra line "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" is present, but when I just pulled it from a booted system the line is gone. Looks like we will need a modified boot.img.
[Nexus 5X General] Skitals:
Getting somewhere... adding "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to default.prop in boot.img seems to do the trick. I uploaded my modified boot.img if anyone wants to try it out. Do a "fastboot flash boot boot.img" to flash it. If you want to hack it manually, first back up your boot.img (since the 7.0 system image still isn't posted as of writing). With phone booted to twrp-3.0.2-1-bullhead.img or newer:

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37 of=/sdcard/boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img

Download Android.Image.Kitchen.v2.4-Win32, extract it

Drag and drop the boot.img you just pulled onto unpackimg.bat

Navigate to the ramdisk folder just created, and edit default.prop with notepad++. Add the line to the bottom and save the file:

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Double click repackimg.bat to build your new boot.img (will be named image-new.img)

Flash it using:

fastboot flash boot image-new.img

If this works for anyone please post back... hopefully this is the only thing required and not any of the other million things I tried :) Note that I'm unrooted, only need an unlocked bootloader. I'm not really sure what the implications are for modifying the kernel ramdisk like this with regards to Android Pay, etc.

Edit: Was able to add a card to Android Pay, so we look good to go. Maybe there is a better way to make changes to build.prop stick, but this seems to work for now. On the plus side this leaves your system partition untouched... flashing the stock boot.img back to do an OTA update should be much quicker.
[Nexus 5X General] 250 or Point 65:
has anyone givin this a shot yet?
[Nexus 5X General] Mark12343:
It works except you need root to pull the file off your device so instead I unzipped the OTA file and modified the boot.img from there and flashed it it's been working for me.

But previously to this I had edited my build.prop to include

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

And did

adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0

command I'm not sure if those last 2 parts matter but if you do all 3 tethering will definitely work.
[Nexus 5X General] holtenc:
None of this TWRP flashing and using ADB is necessary. Not at all.

I'm on nougat. If you've already got root just boot as normal, open build.prop in a text editor and add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true at the end. save. reboot. Done. easy peasy.

clarifications: I rooted with the latest CF Auto Root. I used the built-in text editor in Root Explorer to edit and save build.prop.
[Nexus 5X General] x916:
i can also confirm that cf auto root along with root explorer on 7.0 works
[Nexus 5X General] MarkGbe:
i think the point is to NOT have to root.. for android pay and things.
[Nexus 5X General] holtenc:
My reply was directed at the following very recent posts:

If the goal of OP was to provide a guide on how to enable tethering while also keeping the functionality of Pay intact, then the title should should say so.
[Nexus 5X General] MarkGbe:
This is not true, you can pull boot.img simply by booting to twrp and then pulling it, no root necessary.

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

This works fine if you boot to twrp and then pull via adb. This works fine though, good info.
[Nexus 5X General] Mark12343:
I couldn't mount storage in twrp after I updated to nougat so explain to me how I was supposed to dump the boot.img to /sdcard as he suggested?
[Nexus 5X General] MarkGbe:
all i did was boot to twrp and ran those commands. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5X General] Mark12343:
/sdcard is encrypted unless you have the no force encrypt mod installed but that isn't a stock system.
[Nexus 5X General] MarkGbe:
dunno i have fully stock dev preview 5... nothing special going on here. Your method is easier though id say. Next time, i'll probably just grab boot.img from a factory image zip and unpack and edit, then push it via bootloader.
[Nexus 5X General] Mark12343:
I tried again your right I guess it dumps the boot to your ram when it wouldn't mount my sdcard I just rebooted and gave up not that it matters now with the new 3.0.2-1 version of twrp out and working ;) Either way his instructions said nothing about booting to twrp so theres going to be lots of people showing up here complaining that they cant get it working if they follow his instructions.
[Nexus 5X General] MarkGbe:
ah ok, cool, good to know.
[Nexus 5X General] Skitals:
Sorry about that. I believe you are right that you would need su to backup your boot.img if you don't do it from twrp. You are also right it's easier to get the stock boot.img from the full ota or system image. The system image wasn't out yet when I posted, and I have no experience with "full" OTA so it didn't occur to me to pull it from there. I usually update using the incremental OTA, which I believe just has the bits of info to patch your current system. So for future updates it will probably still be easiest (and certainly the least bandwidth) to revert your stock boot.img, apply the incremental OTA update, dd, pull, modify and flash the new boot.img.

And yes... all of this is completely pointless if you are going to root your phone.
[Nexus 5X General] Mark12343:
The OTA you use is the same one that you need to download to update your phone if your on nougat you downloaded the OTA at least once. Then it's just a matter of extracting it with your favorite zip manager and it's layed out pretty much like your phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahoyboyhoy:
None of my /data backups from the past month will restore. Instead, each restore will end with "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255" (more from log below).

E:Error extracting split archive.
E:extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255

Here's the setup:

Recovery: Multirom TWRP (2015-06-30 2.8.7)

ROM: CM12.1 nightlies and more recently crDroid (CM12.1 based)

F2FS formatted /data, /cache, /sdcard

Here's what I've done to investigate:

1. Thinking the problem had to do with compressed backups, I uncompressed using Nandroid Manager. No difference.

2. Thinking the problem had to do with the backup being spread across multiple .win tar files, I concatenated them into one .win tar file. No difference.

3. Thinking that perhaps I could unarchive the tar and adb push the /data partition. It pushed fine and booted, however the davlik cache wasn't rebuilt when booting and the OS was unusable due to FC.

4. Thinking that I just needed to remove the files/directories that were throwing errors during restore, I used tar --delete to remove files/directory from the nandroid backup. This was somewhat successful in that the restore would progress further before failing, but it would just throw a similar error for another directory.

I haven't figured out why these backups won't restore, but I've thus far resorted to just restoring my most recent backup that will restore. The problem with this is that my future backups seem to have this same problem of not being restorable.

What to do?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahoyboyhoy:
Is there a way to extract the /data nandroid and adb push it? When I attempted that, the booted OS was filled with force closes. Was it a permissions or selinux permissions problem? How to resolve it?

Not all, but a LOT of the included apps can be disabled on a non-rooted M9 by going to:

Having read elsewhere on this charger and reading some of the comments on Amazon, it sounds like this does quickcharge the Pure. Will be getting mine Sunday and will let ya know.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Dahenjo:
Got mine today w/free 1-day Fedex Saturday del'y (from NJ to CT). Phone displays 'Connected to Turbocharger' (or something similar) when plugged in, and Battery Doctor indicated 23 minutes to full charge from ~75%. About 20-25 minutes later I checked and it was at 96% after using Maps with GPS/High Accuracy for part of that time, so it definitely seems to do pretty well.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Oaklands:
Thanks for the update. I feel better about my purchase.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] zeroibis:
Ok now if only they had the sale back... it is just worrying when you go to buy a product and the manufacture explicitly states it does not work with your device. lol
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] DaMadOne:
JUST got mine. It works!. The "TurboPower Connected" toast message even shows up. It's plugged into my bench power supply right now, it's old school so the amp meter is analogue, but It's definitely over an amp with the needle closer to 2amp @ 13.8V. So probably right at the 12V/1.5A max it's rated for.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Oaklands:
Mine came in today. I can verify that mine is working as well.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] Sporttster:
Don't think I've seen that 'turboPower connect' message ever but I used this charger and it definitely charges quick! I had it going with music playing while it was navigating and the battery was still increasing at a pretty good clip. Not had a charger I can sit and watch it go up percentage wise while watching.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] CZ Eddie:
This Aukey is on sale again today. Coupon code AYHPGDJR gets it down to $7.02.

If you install the app Ampere, it will tell you if you're using Turbo or not. It'll also show the charge rate.

I didn't see it when my phone was plugged in, but then I noticed you need to use the orange colored port on the charger. That's what gave me Turbo.

Ampere:

Have your phone on when you plug it in. For some reason it will not show turbo if your phone is off when you plug it in.

[LG G Flex 2] idonttakedrugs:
I have a Oneplus One and I've recently started working (tomorrow) so I have money now (I'm 17), I've seen a G flex 2 for £260 grade A and that is sooooo cheap! Questions I have is how is speed, throttling and the heat of the 810? is there any tweaks for the 810 to run cooler? Hows the overall phone with signal, battery and such? My oneplus always has little bugs because of its buggy software and I'm starting to get fed up. Is the G FLEX 2 a phone i should upgrade to due to the price?
[LG G Flex 2] CarroñA:
Hello.

I can not answer if that would be strict upgrade from ONE+1 as I do not have a phone yet. But for 260 for a grade (any kind) is a way too much. Especially when you can get new one cheaper. I Ordered mine yesterday with ebay 20% discount for about ~£160 delivered. Item number 351557561976. Even without discount you can have it for ~190£. That is german shop - but LG seems to have European warranty. Outside of the ebay, expansys has it for 220£. http://www.expansys.com/lg-g-flex2-16gb-black-272955/ . Not to mention Chinese sites ... but for me they are out of context.

Also remember that g flex 2 has a locked bootloader and LG is not willing to change that condition http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/general/bootloader-unlock-hope-t3125756 - until some miracle happens.

Thx

[LG G Flex 2] meangreenie:
wow that was a good buy!! £160, holy moly!......i got the expansys deal at £220

op.. yeah the phone is good imo, on 5.1.1 it's very smooth. but as said above the modding scene is a bit bleak with the locked boot loader
[LG G Flex 2] CarroñA:
Hehehe - yeah I know :) But at the same time you could buy LG G4 for about 230£ - which is imo better and more future proof device. Especially H815 model which LG blessed with unlock... Still ... I like the design of Flex... so what could I do :eek:

Hopefully I won't be disappointed. :o

HotUkDeals got crazy yesterday with that ebay deal - you could get up to 50£ off on single purchase.

Hi! Thanks for the link! Did you buy from ejoker.de? I'm willing to buy this phone at the price of 250 euro, my only concern is about the store and the warranty (but I think the warranty is valid in whole europe.. Am I right?). Unfortunatly I don't speak german, so I don't know if this things are already written by the seller...

Sorry for my english and help me if you can ^_^
[LG G Flex 2] Kamepa:
Cheap from Switzerland

Here in Switzerland you can get the flex for less than 250 €. http://www.mobilezone.ch/aktionen/14258-lg-g-flex-2-16gb-titan-silver?tab=outlet.

It's the LG-H955 model, free European Edition.
[LG G Flex 2] garion86:
Thanks a lot! I'm italian... do you know if they sent items to italy?

there is a problem with the registration of an account... It doesn't take my telephone number, just says "wrong number"... so I cannot know if they sell in italy or not...
[LG G Flex 2] Kamepa:
It should be possible. I myself am from Switzerland, but I know from people, who could order it from Germany. When you are on the page you should not hit the red button. That is for people with a contract. Hit the blue button, where it's written: "In den Warenkorb".
[LG G Flex 2] CarroñA:
Hello

It was at the time of big eBay madness sale and it is not available any more I am afraid.

The cheapest I could buy G4 now with European warranty is 260£ with 10% eBay code from eBay (Italian Shop) - please search by item number 301675191176 . Check your eBay account - maybe you have some discounts available :)

BTW expansys took the price of g flex 2 down to 215£ now.
[LG G Flex 2] idonttakedrugs:
Mad! How do I get the discounts on the G4? is it legit or dodgy? And i seen the g flex 2 but im put off by what everyones saying about it being slow and bad battery and being the worst lg theyve had.. Id 100% go for the g4 at that price though!
[LG G Flex 2] CarroñA:
Hello - Yes I bought if from ejoker.de. I was not sure about them as well - but their feedback looks rather good. You can always drop them an email to find out - they should speak english. I believe LG has european warranty - but might be mistaken. So contact LG and ejoker.de to find out.

With a Swiss shop things might get a bit more complicated. Switzerland is not part of the EU - they are only member of the European Free Trade Association . That means at first u might be forced to pay custom duties. Please google customs charges when buying from Switzerland to find out more. At second there might be a problem with warranty. So please do some googling before you spend any money.

Thx

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

Well that is discount I got from eBay itself - so it can not be dodgy by any means. Log in to eBay go to the "my eBay" section and scroll all the way down. There you should see if you have any discount available.

As I am a new member, my account is limited.... so no links no pictures - ugh.... anyway

thx

[LG G Flex 2] garion86:
Thanks mate. I already tried and with a fake telephone number I was allow to go over that point... But the problem is that they insert "Svizzera" (I use the italian language :D ) automatically in my address... tomorrow I'll try to send them an email...

Mate you're all right... from 27 to 30%!!!

I think I'll answer to the german site :D
[LG G Flex 2] CarroñA:
Yeah - I remember buying some objective 2 (amplifier) parts from Swiss shop, that there was a catch. Still contact LG and ejoker.de regarding warranty. As it is good to know those things.

Price of this phone is going down rapidly - as most likely they have a problem with pushing that phone out of the shelves. I am still confused why LG is making a fuss with boot loader. They should do whatever possible IMO to sell the old stock. It seems customers are not really interested in it - developers have their own reasons...

Anyway

P
[LG G Flex 2] garion86:
I think Lg should check better the Flex2 before the launch. It had a lot of problem, due to snapdragon 810 and also sw optimization.

90% of online review are bad about this smartphone and the price was too high = fail.

Then they launched the g4 with a lot better camera and that's it.

As for us, I already sent an email to ejoker.de, but I'm pretty confident that the warranty is European... even with the blocked bootloader I think that this is a good device for the price, and with a little tweaks we can bend the S810 and the battery life too :)

My only concern is about the 2gb of ram, but hey... 250euros! :D
[LG G Flex 2] Kamepa:
For about 250$ it's a bargain. Most of the problems seem to have been solved with the updates (I got a new update 2 days ago!). In my country the phone never got popular. People here prefer mainstream phones. Most popular is the IPhone, followed by samsung devices. Something as exotic as the flex 2 doesn't sell well. And now, with all the new models arriving the flex 2 must leave the shells.
