[Moto G Stylus (2021)] verbage:
Yup, ended up picking up one and it will be a gift for my daughter for X-mas. And I'll probably pick up one for my wife, too, when it goes back on sale again. I have not played with it extensively yet, but it seems pretty impressive for the price. Then again, my daily driver is an LG G4, which was released back in 2015, so probably anything relatively modern will be impressive for me!

We are upgrading for the same reason as you--we use Tracfone with AT&T towers, and yeah, we have been receiving messages about the Feb 2022 deadline.

I think I might take the plunge, and go for a Pixel 6 myself though the base model is like $600. I am dreading the lack of a MicroSD slot, but the camera is apparently stunning. And there is guaranteed tons of custom development on it from the very start given that Google releases the source code for it immediately.

OnePlus is having a flash sale on the OP9 starting in a few hours, and the price will be $600, too, but if you sign up they will give you a $60 voucher bringing it down to $540. But the camera is apparently not as good as the Pixel 6. And I took a look at teardown/repairability info on both, and the Pixel 6 seems much more friendly in this regard.
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] lexridge:
I too wanted a Pixel 6 but the lack of MicroSD killed it for me. There are kernel sources available for this phone, both for A10 and A11. I have grabbed the A11 source code. I want to attempt to build PE for this device at some point. I am still getting used to it however, as I had it a full week before I moved my SIM card to it. The only thing I dislike about it so far is the shear size of it. Such a HUGE phone and much more heavy than my Mi 8 Lite. Something I will just have to get used to. Also, Android Auto is very slow to start and the screen must be on and unlocked before my auto's head unit even detects its presence. Very odd.
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] lexridge:
Update: I am bootloader unlocked, rooted via Magisk, and have Orange Fox recovery installed (not my favorite). I have also managed to get the /vendor partition pulled. I have discovered a few quirks.

- Apex Launcher cannot backup or restore data. Seems to be some sort of permissions issue. This worked fine before unlocking and rooting, so not sure what the connection could be at this point.

EDIT: Apparently this is a problem with A11 and Apex Launcher. But, my Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite can backup and restore Apex data in A11.

- Magisk can not find nor download any modules. A search always reveals nothing.

I will continue to research the issues at hand. I have wiped and restored from Google cloud numerous times (3 so far) and nothing seems to fix this.
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] travy:
So I have a question when you bootloader unlocked were you on Android 10 or android 11 cause I'm on 11 and my code shows on Motorola site as not eligible
[Moto G Stylus (2021)] sosthenisRR:
Android version does not matter. Try a different email address. If that doesn't work reset your router and modem and it should cycle the IP address. I get that error alot and both of those have worked equally as well.

@Elperrokush

You want to root phone's Android 10 via Fastboot? If so then you must know that this isn't possible at all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexismaxx:
Hi! is there any other way to root this phone?

Or is it still impossible to root?

Thansk for you reply
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
Two methods thinkable - what requires ADB is got successfully enabled

1. Temporary root

Copy SU binary to /data/local/tmp

2. Static root

Replace Android's ( restricted ) Toybox binary with a version that has SU cmdlet implemented, e.g. Toybox 0.8.5

Thanks for you reply:giggle: Could you tell me if there is a tutorial to try method 2?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ss4rob:
I'm upgrading from an old Pixel to the 6 on Sprint (now T-Mobile. On my previous phone, rooted with Magisk I used:

settings put global tether_dun_required=0

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

...to use the hotspot with no problems. Now, I still have the old grandfathered Sprint plan, but I'm on the T-Mobile network via the 6's eSIM. I tried adding the two above items via Magisk Canary (SN passes BTW) and tether but LTE nor 5G work. I also tried making a duplicate of my existing T-Mobile APN, added a ,dun to the type, and tethering still does not work. Has anyone gotten this to work on T-Mobile? Am I missing a step other than the three I outlined above? I don't think this phone works on Sprint, but if it does, any success there?

Having the ability to tether has been extremely helpful over the years - I hope someone can help me get that capability back now that I'm rooted. Thank you.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sensui123:
Works fine for me with Verizon adding custom prop of net.tethering.noprovisioning=true with magiskhide props config module.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ss4rob:
What method did you use to insert net.tethering.noprovisioning=true? I followed these steps for here (https://xdaforums.com/goto/post?id=80055304):

Install Magisk module: MagiskHide Props Config and Reboot

adb shell

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

su props

Enter 5, Add/edit custom props

Enter n, New custom prop

Enter net.tethering.noprovisioning

Enter true

Enter 2, post-fs-data

Enter y

Enter y to reboot

If I type "getprop | grep tether" I get:

[net.tethering.noprovisioning]: [true]

If I type "settings list global | grep dun" I get:

tether_dun_required=0

...so the values are there. When I duplicate APN, all I added was ,dun to the end to APN type, keeping it a duplicate of the original. I even tried this Magisk module which, after looking at the script directly, does the same thing but also adjusts TTLs:

GitHub - evdenis/tether_unblock: Hide tethering from your mobile network operator

Hide tethering from your mobile network operator. Contribute to evdenis/tether_unblock development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

My PC connects to the my phone when I tap hotspot and I can ping the IP of the phone, but that's it. On the phone itself in hotspot mode, I can ping external IPs.

USB tether doesn't work either - I get an IP on my PC but can't reach external sites.

I really don't know what else to do here. Any other Sprint / T-Mobile folks get this working on Android 12 / Pixel 6 / Pro?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lw00d:
could you post the link to guide how to make this work. please.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Note10.1Dude:
With T-mobile you should just be able to hit the "hotspot" button and have it work, unless you have a super low-level plan. Nothing special in my APN.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sensui123:
That looks correct to me although I use a different terminal....I also don't specify when to activate prop and just use the default (which I believe is 1 instead of you using 2 in your use). But it seems like your props are activated upon boot.

The above basically outlines it.....but here it is summarized:

1) Root your phone with magisk.

2) Install the Magiskhide Props Config module

3) Use some app that let's you have access to terminal...I use termux.

4) Type "su" for superuser rights, then type "props" to access configuring the module.

5) Go through the prompts as the OP listed above starting with choice 5 "add/edit custom props" to add net.tethering.noprovisioning with "true" as the value.

6) I don't use the global tether dun line because with Verizon, even when activated without circumvention, it tallies the use toward "tether/hotspot data."

I use other apps that routes traffic through a VPN to avoid detection. Like VPN Tether on the play store.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ss4rob:
My plan is quite old, a grandfathered Sprint plan, but my eSIM is definitely T-Mobile.

I see what you mean about the order of the prop being added, but it is definitely added early enough it shouldn't be an issue. Even to be safe, I added the Magisk module that definitely adds the prop and modifies TTL. I guess adding APNs with ,dun appended doesn't help? Or disabling Tethering Hardware Acceleration?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sensui123:
I do disable the tethering hardware acceleration for the apps I use for routing tethering data to the VPN since they don't function properly with this enabled. But the act of tethering itself doesn't seem to be limited by this. Best of luck figuring this out.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lw00d:
thanks for that...i am on Verizon grandfather in to unlimited. . i will try this.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lw00d:
just want to say. it work perfect for me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ilmar72:
Try using VPN hotspot app. It bypasses carrier restrictions. Requires root

VPN Hotspot - Apps on Google Play

Share your VPN connection over hotspot or repeater. (root required)

play.google.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] diesteldorf:
Did you ever get this to work? You said you are upgrading from an old Pixel? Was your old Pixel running Android 10 or below?

I can activate the hotspot, but when I try to connect to it, it says NO INTERNET.

I am also on Sprint. I think some changes were made in Android 11 and that's when it stopped working.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wroy412:
I am also having this issue but coming from a Galaxy s20fe on Sprint. Got the new pixel 6 with a TMobile esim on Sprint. With the galaxy I could just add dun to my apn and hotspot would just work natively. With this phone you can turn it on but no data transmits through it. Also on a grandfathered sprint plan. Tried editing the apn with dun with no luck. Tried adb shell dun=0 with no luck. Id prefer not to root the phone but will if I can't eventually figure this out.

There's a relevant post by @ajent here (and quoted below):
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fuzzy8balls:
That that requires adding a custom kernel along with a special build of iptables. Seems like a bit too much trouble but I found a different workaround for the TTL issue.

I got a P6P recently and I did every step on the first page of this post but I still wasn't able to get the hotspot functionality fully working (thanks to tmobile). I did discover several workarounds though.

Initially when I used VPN Hotspot, my macbook could not reach any websites, but then I figured out that if I modify the TTL to 65 on my macbook as well as override the provided DHCP DNS server to 8.8.8.8 it works! Obviously a client side override is a pain in the ass so I kept on digging.

I used the VPN Hotspot app in conjunction with AdGuard (downloaded from the website not the play store) and configure tun0 as the upstream. VPN Hotspot takes care of the routing and AdGuard acts as a dummy VPN to force all routed hotspot TTLs to 64. This takes care of the IP routing on the hotspot.

What I have left to figure out is why isn't the DNS server (dnsmasq) on the P6P not responding. From DHCP, the gateway IP is also the same as the DNS IP, but does not respond at all (as I watch tcpdump from my macbook). The only way to work around this is to set a static DNS server on the client. This isn't ideal for clients and requires manual (re)configuration.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Rescue9:
I had this exact problem with AT&T last year. The problem was that the APN type in the access point name needed "dun" to allow the connection to work. ATT disallowed "dun" from the access point name and wouldn't let the phone connect if it was detected. However, "DUN" wasn't blocked and it worked fine to provide tethering. Not sure how or why, just know it worked like a dream and I didn't have to pay for tethering.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ironyaa:
Did you need to capitalize the dun in global tether_dun_required=0?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] liggerz87:
Would this work it's foxfi I can't remember why I got the app but did buy the pro version as in uk now say you have 20gb they all you to use that unless you go abroad now
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Rescue9:
Yea... somehow ATT detected when "dun" was used in the access point settings. However, they did not detect the capitalized "DUN". If I didn't capitalize it, then I couldn't get any data from ATT networks. This broke not just tethering, but simple phone data as well.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobonit:
Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? I'm having the same issue with Google Pixel 5, just did the sim swap from sprint to T-Mobile. Hotspot used to work, now it turns on and I can connect, but no internet. I was using the magisk module with no issues prior. I did the commands in adb shell as well with no change.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] B from C:
As a fellow Sprint->TMobile user, I had to use use TTL spoofing to get my unlimited hotspot to work. More information can be found here.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gullzway:
Sprint>TMobile user here as well. Switched to PDA Net+ after T-Mo started counting hotspot(even rooted with VPN Hotspot.) Hidden ever since. $8 for the Unlimited license is well worth it. No root required.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] willpower102:
OH. MY. GOD. Thank you so much!

My oneplus 9 recently upgraded to oxygenOS 12 and it completely broke my data only att ipad sim on the Broadband apn. Works fine in eeeeevery other device of mine.

Turns out it needed dun. Something about this new update retains partial settings from undeletable carrier apns, which is dumb bc in older oS versions you could just delete them, including the hidden 'hotspot'. Weird. Anyway, thanks again! Hours of my life and being frustrated are finally over.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ip-drop:
Hi all. Please tell me, I'm trying to automate changing the access point parameters (point name, password) using the program, but so far without success. But there is a certain result .. on android 11, I manually change WifeConfigStoreSoftAp and reboot the device, after which the set parameters fall into place. Is it possible not to reboot the device??? Maybe there is some other way???
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] oldman20:
Any news in 2023, guys?!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] B from C:
I am still able to tether just fine on T-Mobile using APN mod, magiskhide props, ttl spoofing:

APN mod is just copying your existing APN and adding "dun" or "DUN" to the end of the end of the "APN Type".

MagiskHide Props

TTL Spoofing

Each carrier has its own shadow tactics for trying to flag your tethering traffic after you enable it on your device. What issues are you having and what carrier are you using?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] craziacford:
Is there any way to do the APN mod on a non rooted/magisk setup? I am on Att
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] B from C:
I am not on ATT but on other carriers I have been able to add additional APN's without root. Are you able to view your APN settings (Settings> Network & Internet> Internet> carrier name> Access Point Names)... take a picture, write them down on a piece of paper, or bang them out in a text editor.. then tap the + at the top and type them all back in with a new name. Only when you type them in add ",DUN" at the end of the APN Type. Save it and select your new APN?
[General Topics] joannaex:
I've noticed many users asking how to sync their IE/Firefox bookmarks on their PC with the Opera Browser included in the latest devices. I decided to look into it a bit and see if I could find a quick and easy way of doing it. First of all there is no way to Sync with the device because ActiveSync/WMDC only supports IE Bookmarks and of course Microsoft will neve aknowledge the existence of any other browser.

OK, so the idea is pretty simple. We convert our bookmarks from whatever browser we use, into Opera browser format and then we move them to the device:

1. First step is to download this very nice, open source, and free programme called BookMarkBridge (http://bookmarkbridge.sourceforge.net/downloads.html) and install it on your PC.

2. Open up the application:

You will notice it contains a source browser section and a destination browser section.

3. If the browser you wish to use is not on the list, simply click on Add in the corresponding section to add it. Needless to say that if you want to remove a browser from the list, you have to select it and click on delete:

In the exaple below I have selected Firefox as my source and Opera as my destination browser.

4. Click on the settings button on the program's main page to change the settings for each browser. There you will be able to modify the bookmark file paths.

You do not need to have Opera installed on your machine to make this work. Simply create a new text document in the folder of your choice and rename it to Opera6.adr. Then simply select this file as the Opera bookmark File.

You will also notice that right underneath the bookmark file path is an option that will prevent this file from being edited. What this program actually does is combine/merge the bookmark files. First it will read all bookmarks contained in the source browsers and then combine them in one list. It will then save that list in the correct format in the destination browser's bookmark file. For example, if the source browsers are IE and Firefox and Opera is the destination, it will create an Opera6.adr (in the select path) that will include the bookmarks from both browsers.

5. Clicking on the View button on the program's main page, you can see a list of the bookmarks contained in the source browsers and you can select to ignore the ones you don't want moved to the destination browser.

6. Last but not list, clicking on Merge will begin the process. Once completed, all you need to do it take the Opera6.adr from the folder you selected in the settings, and copy it to the \windows\Opera9 folder in your device.

An alternative application:

vbBKM (BookMark Manager) Not hard to use either, includes import and export features.

This is GREAT info, preparing to get my in-transit XPERIA X1 all synced up, and getting my Firefox bookmarks into Opera was one of my to-do's! Thank you!

[General Topics] matthewf01:
Question: so I exported my bookmarks into the adr file, and I see the existing adr in the /Windows directory (there is no Opera folder...), but it doesn't let me delete it. How do I go about replacing the file itself?
[General Topics] joannaex:
IF this is the opera addressbook file, you could copy the one you created on your PC to the storage card and use either Resco Explorer or Total Commander to overwrite the file (in case it doesn't allow you to do so with the built in File Explorer).
[General Topics] matthewf01:
Ah, I was copying to the wrong location.

There's an opera6.adr file in \\Application Data\Opera -- THAT's where it goes.

But now I'm seeing only the first three bookmark folders I had, and they are being duplicated twice. The rest of the folders are missing -- if I open the adr file on my PC using notepad I see all the bookmarks are there, but the device isn't showing them.

Does Opera have some kind of limitation as to how many directories can be displayed?
[General Topics] joannaex:
I honestly can't tell you. I noticed a problem like the one you're describing when I was trying out different converters. I've tested the ones above on my HTC Diamond. Which device are you using?
[General Topics] matthewf01:
Xperia X1.

I opened up the opera6.adr that the browser was creating, not the one the converter was creating, and noticed it looked very different... I dont think these apps are exporting into a format Opera Mobile is looking for?
[General Topics] joannaex:
Well if they weren't would it be working on my Diamond? Can you tell me which version of Opera you are using? Which converter did you use? Is there any chance you could send me the adr file to check it on my HTC?
[General Topics] matthewf01:
Opera 9.5, build 2141 - the built-in Xperia version

I tried this with both converters.
[General Topics] awm:
joannaex - thanks for posting this, I've been looking for a way of doing this too, but had similar trouble to matthewf01.

I had a look at the file the bookmark bridge generated and compared it to the original one from my Diamond and there is a difference in the file format. I got it working in the end my manually editing the file, from memory (at work now, was doing this at home) there were a couple of missing attributes ID and CREATED and rather than URL= it had URL== with a double equals sign, same was true of the other attributes.

I keen to have this automated, so I might crack open the Bookmark Bridge source (it's on Sourceforge) and add a new option for the Opera browser that's on the Diamond.

Joannaex - now idea how it works on yours? maybe you have a different ROM and hence a different version of Opera?
[General Topics] joannaex:
I have the original Shipped 1.93 ROM. I will try and do some tests on the Touch 3G and HD and report back.

I have the EXACT problem too!! I can only see one folder and it's duplicated 4 times. I don't see my other bookmarks at all. When i go into the folder, i can only see "SOME" of the boomarks in it, e.g. if i have a list of 100 bookmarked links in it, i can only see about say 30 or 40.

[General Topics] wg5566:
Another way found in this page:

In addition, if you are using the official non-branded version like Opera Mobile 9.51B2 or the latest 9.7B1, it has the buildin function to Import PIE Favorites on First Launch. In case you want to syncronize after first launch, in opera address bar, type: opera:config and hit enter, then in the config page tap Install, then in the extended list, check the box for 'Browser First Time Launch', then hit Save. After exit & relaunch Opera, the bookmarks from PIE will be syncronized.

Some other way is to use Opera Link.
[General Topics] Sab3elbromba:
That's what I had to do to get it working after many trials with many bookmark syncing tools but nothing worked, in the end I opened up the 2 bookmark files (the one the tool generated and the one opera mobile was using initially) and compared format and did alot of find/replace, but it worked it end :)
