SM-N910T3. Maximum OvrDriVE MM v1.2 (Android 6.0.1, N910TUVU2EP3)

Since this ROM was flashed on my phone, I've always used the "built in" T-Mobile hotspot app. I'm on the 10GB family share. I am not over my data cap. No unlimited tether mods, or anything like that. Just rooted with OvrDriVE rom. Nothing has changed since it was flashed in August 2016.

I use tether maybe once or twice a month in emergency situations.

Tried to connect to my work laptop, and the PC (Win 10 Dell Tablet) does see the hotspot, connects just fine, gets a DHCP assigned IP address but "no internet." If I try to ping google.com I get an immediate error. So did the normal windows stuff, restart the computer, flush DNS cache, etc. IPV6 disabled and re-enabled. No change. "Forgot" the network in WIndows, thinking something about the encryption has changed, or something. No dice. So I tried my personal laptop. Same thing. Connects, gets IP, no internet what so ever. I thought maybe it's an issue with T-Mobile's DNS servers, so I leave the device IP DHCP, but change DNS server to google's 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4. Still nothing. Tried a computer that has never connected to the hotspot before. Same thing. Gets an internal IP address, but cannot connect to the internet.

Only thing I've done is wipe dalvik/cache but that did nothing. I don't have a recent backup to restore to. I haven't found the hotspot app in Application Manager, as I want to wipe data/cache for that specific app and see if that helps.

Anybody have any ideas? Or what I can do to get more information about where it is failing?

EDIT: Thought maybe i was a T-Mobile network error. When starting the hotspot, I get the popup saying "verifying you account information" and do not get any errors. It has not been working for about 4 days now so I'd think it it was an internal T-Mobile issue it'd be resolved by now, or I'd see posts from others saying it wasn't working.

So this evening I downloaded the ol' tried and true "WiFi Tether Router" and configured it per the apps' recommendations for the Note 4. That doesn't work at all, can never see the SSID of the hotspot on any computer.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piggypoofoo:
try to switch your frequency of your hotspot from 4 or 5. something to 2.4 im pretty sure under hotspot settings that is my only guess.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poor_red_neck:
No effect. This is just the AP mode, whether 2.4GHz or 5GHZ. As I stated the PC connects to the phone fine, gets an IP address. Something with the routing or DNS is failing. I think it goes beyond DNS as typing in a URL's IP address also doesn't work.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Illuminado:
Facts: I'm in the US, have an XT1575 that I'm having issues with, Carrier is Verizon (Nano Sim).

So, I had a MXP (SE) for about a year and a half, no issues, going great. So, about 2 months ago, I drop it, cracked screen, and a botched replacement job, I picked up another one, used on eBay.

It arrives, I unlock it the bootloader, throw the latest TWRP and updated to the latest Cyanogen nightly, and get No Service. Wifi works, no cell signal voice or data. Won't connect to the network, put stock back on it, went to verizon, got to tier 2 tech support, they said they don't know what's going on.

Is there any way anyone knows how I can fix this, been googling around and the answer for many was to just flash back to Stock, I've been fussing around with the 2 different stock firmwares, several custom ones, and am all out of ideas. Would really like to have a working phone again. For the record, I can still fastboot and navigate my old (same model Moto X Style (Pure Edition) 16GB), though half the screen is gone in case that might help in getting this off the ground.

I'm at the end of my rope with this after 5 days of wrangling, thanks.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] ChodTheWacko:
I'm trying to sign up for t-mobile tuesdays.

I'm supposed to reply back with an sms short code (a 4 digit number).

It's failing with 'service access denied'.

I'm on the $30/month walmart plan if that makes any difference.

Anyone know what's up with that?

- Frank
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] ChodTheWacko:
Okay, the exact wording of the text message was:

Enter XXXX to start up T-Mobile Tuesdays and #GetThanked

Turns out I'm supposed to enter XXXX into the t-mobile app, not enter XXXX into the sms app as a reply.

So although I don't know what the 'service access denied' thing is all about, I think it's a non issue.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] tripey:
Hey guys, I'm finally working up the courage to root. I installed adb on my Macbook but I can't find where the platform tools folder is at. I used the Android.zip file and ran the Adb-install-mac.sh script to install adb. The computer recognizes the phone via adb devices and I'm able to reboot into boot loader and get fastboot oem device-id (needed for us996 unlock). My obstacle now is getting the exploit files into the platform-tools folder so I can begin rooting it. Problem is.. I can't find where the Adb-install-mac.sh script installed adb folder. Ive searched the hard drive and nothing comes up.

EDIT

Forgot to add.. The documentation for the adb install states that adb and fastboot installs in usr/bin. Do I copy the exploit files/twrp/superSU into that directory? I don't see any folders in there.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] tripey:
I figured it out. Got it rooted. Not as scary as I thought it was going to be.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Z-Blade:
Hello Guys,

I am new to Huawei so I am just gathering information on manually updating stock rom. From what I have search through so far, the easiest and safest way is to download the stock rom, copy the update.app file to the dload folder on your sdcard and then reboot the phone while holding down vol up + vol down +power.

Now what I need clarification on is what are the prerequisite before doing this. So I have already unlocked the bootloader, have TWRP recovery and rooted. Reading through the forum, some threads states you need stock recovery while others say it works even with TWRP recovery. Some say you need to un-root first while others say you dont. Is there anyone here who can clarify what needs to be done before flashing the stock rom?

Just to paint a picture on what I am planning on doing, I currently have a C34 (Optus, Australia) and I want to debrand it by flashing C636 (Asia Pacific) and I think flashing via the sdcard is the simpliest and safest way.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] AirJordanTS:
I have a Droid Turbo that is currently on version 5.1 (23.21.44) and I just recently unfroze the system update notifications for my phone because of the news of MM. I am currently rooted and have an unlocked bootloader but I don't have TWRP installed and would rather not install it for now if I don't have to.

The system update that it is trying to push to my phone isn't MM, instead it is version 23.21.49.en.US. Is it safe to just take this update while being rooted and with an unlocked bootloader? I'm also not sure how many updates I'll have to make my way through before reaching the MM update, but if there are other updates, should it also be safe to go ahead with those as well? I know I could install TWRP and flash the MM ROM that way but I would prefer to do the updates officially if it is not risking a bricked phone.

Thanks for any advice.

EDIT: I forgot to finish the title of the thread...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
It's safe, but it will be unsuccessful until you unroot your phone and undo any other system modifications that you've done (xposed, for example). There's a huge part of the update script that checks every single file in your system partition to make sure nothing has been modified.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] AirJordanTS:
Ok great, thanks.

The only other modification I can think that I've made is enabling mobile Hotspot through editing a setting somewhere. Do you know if that would be affected or would need changed back?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
You did that by modifying /system/build.prop. That change might be okay, but I would change it back if I were you just to be safe. The change is going to be overwritten anyway once the OTA is done.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Einsteindks:
It's possible it may miss overlooking that. The worst that could happen was the update just doesn't take. It fails and nothing is changed. There is a pure MM official version that you can Flash in TWRP. It will update everything, radios and all, but will not relock the bootloader. I recommend you download Titanium Backup and backup all of your apps and their data to be restored after the update. A factory reset is recommended after the update. Also, don't forget to back up all of your photos, documents, music, etc. 24.81.5 is MM. Your update was a prep for MM.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] AirJordanTS:
Thanks for the advice guys.

I didn't realize it but I had TWRP installed so I decided to flash a stock ROM and proceed with the OTA updates from there. The problem currently is that I'm being locked out of my phone because of the Google "verify your account" page. I reset my account password on that page and now I'm not able to log in. :(

Very great App

I finally can see where to send my data and especially the unwanted domain name can be blocked.
[Android Apps and Games] netpatch:
Thank you very much. NetPatch Firewall is a very early project, any questions is very useful for it.
[Android Apps and Games] mermade:
The app does a good job with blocking ads. Does this work even with the other filters (like easylist, fanboy, ...) or only with the one on this page :

https://github.com/netpatch/groups_for_netpatch_firewall

I observed that there are just few filters on this link. Support for other filter subscriptions (just like uBlock Origin) would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] netpatch:
1, NetPatch Firewall works on android's IP layer, it can't see the html contents except plain http. So it can't work with easylist, fanboy, they work using html structure.

2, NetPatch Firewall's IP/Domain is just one line-based text file. You can create yourself group.

3, The groups project on github will be updated continuously, if there are some domains missed, please tell me in the github project, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Is it based on NetGuard app?

Do you plan to open source your code?
[Android Apps and Games] netpatch:
Is it based on NetGuard app?

No. NetPatch Firewall implements one very efficient protocol transformation, then all functions are based TCP/UDP socket level. It consumes almost no additional energy, It's here, you can test.

Do you plan to open source your code?

There is currently no such plan.

I have added some domains to Default_block group, I want to export them and share them with my friends. This feature is very useful.
[Android Apps and Games] mermade:
It's a good idea but I am just thinking since filter list subscriptions keep getting updated regularly, how are you going to ensure that the new list is up to date? From what I am thinking, there would be one static filter list and that would keep getting larger and larger eventually leading to some outdated filters that were added initially. Something like this (https://xdaforums.com/android/general/script-load-adblock-filterlist-t2881240) would be really good.

I figured i would give this a try on ZTE Blade V8. All seems to be working well so far. My question is how do you block ads? Im seeing them left and right
[Android Apps and Games] mermade:
You can manually block the ad domains or can add domain groups from other third party subscriptions (MVPS, Steven Black, etc.).

You can also use the host file found here (https://firewall.netpatch.co/files/amt.txt). I suppose this file is available out of the box in the app. Note that other filter subscriptions (Easylist, Adguard, Fanboy, etc.) cannot currently be used with this app as this app only sees the IP address/domain names.

To block a domain manually: You need to tap "Network Logs" and then tap on the particular connection which will take you to another page where you would see all the connections for that app since the firewall was enabled. On that page, you will need to identify the particular connection and block it. Needless to say that the firewall should always be enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] Greatness83:
Im guessing blocking the domain groups would be better? So thats blocked by the same setup method?
[Android Apps and Games] netpatch:
You can add a domain group, add set the rule of it "block". The all domains in the group will be blocked.

"Add domain group" is in "Rules Settings". Then check "subscribe from network" and enter the group url(e.g., https://firewall.netpatch.co/files/amt.txt).
[Android Apps and Games] netpatch:
Thanks for your suggestion.

Export/Import configuration(Includes apps settings/proxy/dns/rules settings) feature is in my plan, It will be released in next or future version.
[Android Apps and Games] netpatch:
Hi mermade,

Thank you very much for this information.

I am learnning the adblockplus's filter rules. Extracting domains from adblockplus's rulelist is ok like https://xdaforums.com/android/general/script-load-adblock-filterlist-t2881240, I will test this method and ensure if it's nessasary.
[Android Apps and Games] mermade:
Hi OP, wanted to highlight a point which I believe is a bug. Take a look at the two screenshots that show the allowed and blocked log. If you look at the highlighted entry, you will see that the domain "app.chat.xiaomi.net" established a connection at 18:42:41. The same domain is also in the blocked list at the exact same time.

I had earlier added the domain ".xiaomi.net" in a domain group and have set it to block connections but not sure why I am still seeing connections from that. Was the connection in this case allowed or blocked?
[Android Apps and Games] lancelotly:
Hi Netpatch,

1. There is a blank space with UI issue.

2. It would be better to click the app icon in logs or logs detail to open the app rules.

:good:
[Android Apps and Games] netpatch:
That connection was blocked. It's the expected result to NF.

In general, the connection is blocked when querying DNS. But some Apps may have cached DNS results, when they are blocked in the DNS querying, maybe directly connect to IP address, this situation will record two logs as you encountered.

In this case, If NF can find the domain name binded to this IP

and the domain name should be blocked, the connection will be blocked. Because it's connection has created, NF will record it.
[Android Apps and Games] netpatch:
Thank you for your feedback.

1, Next version will fix the problem.

2, I can't understand which page "the app rules" is?
[Android Apps and Games] mermade:
Does that mean that some connections are cached for 60 mins as seen in the default "Network Settings" of NF?

How can I ensure that after enabling NF, the connections are not cached and only follow the NF rules? Is it possible to clear/flush the Android DNS cache and if so, can you implement that in NF?

I have even tried to restart my phone, and then first enable NF and then turn on the WiFi/mobile data but I still see some connections that I have added in the blocked domain group possibly which were cached. This, I believe is a problem because if a domain abc.com was cached and then a block rule was set, the connection to abc.com will still persist which is not supposed to happen.

If I reduce the "Cache Time" from the default 60 mins to 0 min under "Network Settings", will that help?

Thanks!
