Ok just updating things a bit. I went through 4 new system updates and am currently on NRD90M.G930VVRU4BQH4

The sim trick does still work. I had been watching the thread but no one made mention of it.

Hope this helps :)

Method still works, thanks!

What password do I use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Smabbage:
Once you get the rhythm down, it can be turned on in the first try most of the time. Remember, this hack is a timing thing. I pop the SIM out, unlock the phone, answer the SIM requester, go to the hotspot area of the settings menu, pop the SIM back in and then press the hotspot toggle. I usually have to hit the toggle, answer a requester telling me I don't have a mobile network and then hit the toggle again. The second time, it turns the hotspot on before the system checks for a subscription. I've gotten pretty good at the sequence. Very seldom do I need a second try.

I will say this though. If you can't get it turned on but would like to use your mobile internet to view things on your TV I can STRONGLY recommend the Screenbeam Mini 2 dongle. It uses WiDi to receive a cast of your phone screen and display it on your TV. Since it's using WiDi instead of WiFi, it will allow you to use mobile data on your phone. This makes it possible to cast ANYTHING to your TV. Youtube, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Terrarium, etc all cast without issue. My wife has to do this ever since she upgraded her S6 to Android 7. I'd post the link but I'm unsure how xda views such practices. Just go to Amazon and plug in Screenbeam Mini 2. They make two models. Just choose the basic model, not the continuum model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] onlyonenurse:
Still worked, thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] pyraxiate:
Quite welcome.

I can't update this thread from my personal experiences anymore sorry. As updates come out hopefully someone else chimes in. I went to U firmware for tethering now. Just a bit easier.

Still all stock so my company doesn't know I did it lmao. I've got to let them install their big brother app again though <.< ( AirWatch ) Was fun defeating it's security to gain access to the BL though I'll tell you that! Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] onlyonenurse:
In reference to updating IU, can you share the process? I am approaching a medium knowledge base, so to crack operating system would be above my sense of doing this right. No matter, thank you very much for past contribution. It really enabled my to do my work (ads a nurse trying to show patients web materials).

Hopefully PDAnet will again work!

Can anyone confirm if this still works on Oreo with the latest (july) update? My wife just got her phone replaced under the warranty and of course it came with all the updates installed and we can't get wifi tethering to stay on for more than a few seconds, wondering if we need to do something different now....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] fallen_jedi:
you can always downgrade the OS to the unlocked version that is online. You wont be able to get updates from your carrier but the tethering will work.

I just did that this past weekend to a new S7 that had all the verizon updates. its now running the july 1, 2017 unlocked os G930UUES4BQG1.

im sure there is an updated unlocked os but i had that one saved on my laptop so just used that.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] melo71:
My honor8/European version (FRD-L09) is dead. Now I have a brick.

Is there anyone who can help me?

Hello everybody, i'm having serious trouble. I was trying to rollback to Marshmallow (Nougat - > Marshmallow) using this guide: " https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70863098&postcount=6 "

When the phone restarted. It was frozen in the initial presentation. And it does not progress. It does not turn off. Only when the battery is finished. Pressing the 3 buttons (+/- on / off) does not start the recovery menu.

This is my situation now. Is it possible to revive him? :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Thank you.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] faizalotai:
It just bootloop,

1st... Did you used rollback packages for your devices

2nd..Did you replaced update.app in dload folder with your region firmware.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sysak:
3rd. did you use an sd card for the rollback as you should?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] melo71:
My honor 8 (FRD-L09C432)

I created a dload folder inside the sdcard, extract uppdate.app to the dload folder.

I followed the tutorial " https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70863098&postcount=6 "

I downloaded the firmware (2016.10.10 / FRD-L09C432 / FRD-L09C432B131 / 1904918618).

Is it still possible to correct the problem?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] faizalotai:
There's 2 type of update.app that must be in dload folder.

1st is rollback package.You must flash those file 1st than replaced with your firmware update.app.

Mean you have to flash update.app 2 times.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] sysak:
You've got link to the rollback package at the bottom of this post: https://community.hihonor.com/docs/DOC-1752 After applying it repeat the process with the B131 update.app

Don't worry, it will work. Mine was in this state countless amount of times already. ;)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] melo71:
Thanks for the help you are giving me.

I'm trying to follow your instructions. But my Honor 8 does not revive.

1 - Downloaded (FRD-L09 Rollback Package) https://community.hihonor.com/docs/DOC-1752

2 - I created the dload folder on sdcard. I copied the UPDATE.APP file into the dload folder on sdcard.

3 - I placed the sdcard on the phone. I turn the phone on.

. When I turn the phone on. This is frozen in the blue screen of the initial presentation. It has no activity. Is it necessary to press the 3 buttons (+/- on / off)?

. I turned the phone off again, and then restarted it, now pressing the 3 buttons (+/- on / off). The result is identical. This is frozen in the blue screen of the initial presentation. And it does not show any activity.

4 - I waited approx. 15 minutes. I removed the sdcard.

5 - Downloaded (FRD-L09C432B131 Android M Firmware) https://community.hihonor.com/docs/DOC-1752

6 - I deleted the UPDATE.APP file in the dload folder on sdcard, and copied the new UPDATE.APP file to the dload folder in sdcard (FRD-L09C432B131 Android M Firmware).

7 - I placed the sdcard on the phone. I turn the phone on.

8 -. When I turn the phone on. This is frozen in the blue screen of the initial presentation. It has no activity. I turned the phone off again, and then restarted it, now pressing the 3 buttons (+/- on / off). The result is identical. This is frozen in the blue screen of the initial presentation. And it does not show any activity.

When press the 3 buttons (+/- on / off)

no the little connector on the oppisote side of the bored

located here in the green ring, the whole connector is still attached all tho a little bit on the top has came of no bigger than a half centimeter
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Maybe the connector is not making proper contact with the back casing. Maybe add a bit of solder to the gold contact to raise it up a bit to it makes better contact?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhaseCoder:
Would adding solder not damage it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Travicom2014:
Check WiFi Antenna

Sounds to me like the device was opened to replace the camera, and it could be something easy to fix. Fix step open the device, and check that suckers WiFi Antenna wire....looks the same as a Laptop WiFi Antenna Wire, except smaller and shorter, it may be disconnected from the logic board connector location, or the wire is broken or damaged.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Adding a but of solder may work as long as you use low-melt solder, a very fine tip iron, and you do not let the solder flow to other parts of the board.

I suppose the alternative would be taking it to a cell shop to see if they can fix it.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
yo bro, could you plz explain wich icons you dont like..

:cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
nice one. You need just two things that you should change.

Mail icon to the Message icon

Fav. icon to just the star.

thats it.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
fav icon will be done, other one i will consider:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
one thing change the filter part that out the question mark and add a filter icon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ixtana_ran:
Yes I agree with aih1977 plus the red dot for closing to say a red cross to tie in with pointui, and change speech bubble to a lighter/darker blue. And you need an icon for original contacts app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ljinsane:
thanks...looks great ...two things...the colors for the sms bubble should be changed(i know you addressed some finishing0 touches to something more colorful...and there is an icon missing for contacts when pressing/holing down the phone icon to go into settings, close..contacts..other than that its great...good work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
thank you,

yes finishing touch hehe:p and im still thinking what icon im goin to put there

greetz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ixtana_ran:
Hi tomazez, just looked on phone can see where your coming from with favourites icon, think I've changed my mind keep it in. Thanks, Rob.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tomazez:
i was thinking about changing the favorite into a man with a star but maybe then it wouldnt look nice with 2 the same 'man'

thanks again;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ljinsane:
np,...question...now that a black theme for point ui is out will you be making a black theme for this as well?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] brettdacosta:
I've been a grandfathered in unlimited data user of VZ for about 7 years.

I've used rooted phones for quite some time to unlock the tethering ability of my smartphones on VZ's network.

I'm curious how this feature actually functions. VZ's new "Unlimited" plans reduce tethering speeds from 4G to 3G after 10gbs are used.

Without spelling it out, my main question is whether or not using a rooted phones' tethering provision feature will simulate normal cell usage.

In other words, does Big Red see both tethering through the phone's native wifi-tethering app (with the provision enabled) the same as normal cell usage or does can their system determine the difference.

Thanks,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] brettdacosta:
Anybody have any insights?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] bart77:
I am also curious about his! I am on the grandfathered unlimited plan also, but would change over to the new plan if I could get more than 10 gig on my hotspot. I live in a rural area and most of my internet use at home is on my hotspot.

I currently use Foxfi on my S7 and it works fine. I had it rooted with native hotspot, it worked OK but the phone performance sucks.

I also hear that Foxfi will not work with Nougat either so there are two reasons I need to bypass this 10g hotspot conundrum.

Somebody ???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] brettdacosta:
I feel like I should have put this thread in a more general location, Moderators - can you help me?

It's not really tied to the S7 - it's a more general rooted question.

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

This wont let you have more than 10gb, this is a limit on the server side, nothing you do will change that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
I'm on the grandfathered UDP and don't have hotspot activated on my account. With that I was using hotspot via FoxFi and when I checked my Verizon account it showed up as normal data usage and not hotspot. I connected my smart TV to my hotspot to stream Netflix and it showed up as me using lots of GB's to watch videos. That's all it showed. I'm not sure how you're on the grandfathered UDP and only get 10GB per month for hotspot if you're using FoxFi though, unless you were talking about moving to the new plan, and if that's the case then you would do the work around of removing the SIM card (posted somewhere on these forums) or flash the U firmware and it shouldn't show up on your account as hotspot if the phone doesn't search for subscriber information or is unsuccessful in searching for said info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] brettdacosta:
What does that string of code actually do and how is it seen by VZ? The 10gb limit is not a cap - it's just a boundary where they're supposed to throttle your 4g speeds to 3g. I'm just wondering what triggers them noticing that. I'm curious how unlocking the native tethering feature on a rooted phone allows grandfathered unlimited plans the ability to use this feature when it's normally blocked.

Does it cover up the fact that the hotspot is even turned on so it changes all tethered data to be seen by VZ as normal cell data (not tethered data)? Or does it just unlock the tethering feature and gives you the ability to use the feature and VZ still knows the difference?

Outbreak is right - there is no 10gb limit with the grandfathered plans. I believe Bart is talking about converting from the old plan to the new plan (like I am) if we can get around the possible downgrade in speeds that's supposed to occur at 10gb.

You mentioned 2 possible work-arounds, but one involves pulling the SIM. Could you provide a link for either of the methods? However, from what I know of VZ is that a SIM is required for the phone to work.

Thanks - keep the suggestions coming.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Here's the link to the SIM removal method, seems to be a hit or miss though and states it's for nougat but I think it would work on marshmallow as well.

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-edge/help/tethering-nougat-t3568501/page2

Or you can flash the U firmware for the US. It should just unlock tethering completely without actually searching for subscriber information. I don't have the link but it's easily found on the forums. Just know that the U firmware doesn't have nougat at this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] brettdacosta:
Thanks, Outbreak.

How does it actually work/function though? Will VZ still be able to distinguish between data used by my cell and data transfered to another device via the phone's native hotspot feature?

That's the whole point of this thread, but I can't seem to get any real answers (or even speculations for that matter)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
When I checked my account it showed 0.0 GB of hotspot used and about 100 GB's of standard data. They didn't see at all that I was using my hotspot, only excessive amount of data usage. I wouldn't sweat it unless you're going to end up using like 300 GB's. I even bought the S7 AFTER having that much used and the reps looked amazed but couldn't see how I used as much as I had. I wish I could pull up what My Verizon showed to prove it to you but it only shows the last two months worth of data and I haven't used tethering recently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] brettdacosta:
Great info.

- So when you used 100GB of standard data, that was all through your hotspot?

- Which VZ plan are you on?

- What's your current phone setup (aka - what method did you use for bypassing the tethering restriction)?

- Where do you find a breakdown of your hotspot data to standard data (is it on your online account)?

- Since you obviously went over the 22GB, did you notice any slowdowns (like they say they reserve the right to implement)

- What type of area are you in (rural - not a lot of cell tower access / high trafficked area - for the purpose of the last question)?

Thanks for all the great info. I know that was a lot of questions, but I think if you are able to answering all of those, I should have about all I need.

Thanks again.

P.S. - it's my only internet at the house, so I can't afford it slowing me down if I'm at the house wanting to stream a movie or something after 10gb - that's why I'm concerned - just felt I needed to clarify.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Not 100% of my data usage was hotspot but a good 90% or more was.

I have the grandfathered UDP from Verizon

At the time I was using my rooted S5 with tethering unlocked through xposed, now I have the S7 with FoxFi

Just log into your Verizon account online and it should have a breakdown. Most of my data showed up under the video category, which was correct because I was tethering my hotspot to my smart TV for streaming Netflix. So it can see what I'm doing, just not how, I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] brettdacosta:
Where do you see the breakdown by standard usage and tethering?

I'm still on the grandfathered UDP too, and use tethering all the time, but here is all I see when I log on (no breakdown)...
