This allows those on the old plan to still utilize tether for free.
For custom TW or stock TW roms.
Flash with latest flash fire.
Make sure you are rooted with PinPong Root 6 or higher.
Also make sure you pick the right one. The last 3 digits of the zip file are the firmware version. Flashing wrong one will boot loop you.
Oh and hit thanks!

It modifies the carrier check for Tether provisioning. If you have tether on your plan then you dont need it. If you dont have Tether then this will get you tether.
I dont know what carrier you have so flashing it, at a minimum will NOT hurt ANYTHING (that I know of).
So to see if you need it, just turn on Tether, if it works, then you dont need patch. If it doesnt work, then use patch.
Hope that helps.
Hit thanks!

Of course I did! Now using it on CleanROM. Works perfect and much needed with vacation coming up. Keeping the little guy's YouTube working on a 5hr trip is mandatory haha!
Updated to the latest OTA.
OE2 version works great too
crazy weird issue! the freaking tethering shortcut from the quicksettings just randomly disappeared for some reason and no way to get it back...anyone seen this weirdness before?
Oe2 is corrupt. Flashfire says it is.

1. Download Titanium Backup and install it
2. Open Titanium Backup and go to backups
3. Select Activation Agent and Click Uninstall
4. Restart the phone, you SIM card not from Verizon Wireless message is gone forever.
Will this work even if I am not on a unlimited data plan?

HI there,
got FroyoMod 2.5.0 running on my Milestone. Just wanted to ask wheter theres an App to see if theres any OTA Update waiting. I would not like to reflash to my old nandroid Backup and check with that... so is there an easier solution?
2.5.0 doesn't got any OTA Check within it (Under Settings is only telphone umber and such, but the OTA Update SEtting is gone... )
Thanks

OK: feeling as stupid as always:
Using ES file explorer (yes have the extreme rom finally running good, and verified I have root, safesurf, su, and checkroot).
I don't see a systemroot folder.
I did turn root explorer on in the es file explorer, and show hidden files.
Even went and installed ROOT browser app from g-play.
even gave it root.
AM I CRAZY? I dont see a systemroot/ directory.
and yes, I know that / is root, and stuff might (in *nix) be in the /bin, or local, or whatever directories, and I tried all of them.
I have
/system/app
NO /system/apps directory !!!
/sys/firmware (empty)
/root (empty)
/sys/kernel
I'm on a SM-G900A (AT&T) with the Extreme debloat v2.3 RC naked touchwiz build
with 4.4.2
please tell me I'm not going crazy, or forgetting 30 years of UNIX administration!
When I try to install it comes back as app not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed.
I had previously tried using the exposed apk but it did not work for me. Any ideas?

Looks promising. I like that it doesn't trip KNOX but will the "custom status" be a problem?
I'm 7 days into this phone, still have a week to return/exchange it if something is defective. So far it's running fine, dont foresee need to take it back.
But .............. If I did need to return it, is there an "unroot" and/or a way to remove the custom status ?
*** EDIT *** I haven't read all the way thru the root thread, so if my question has already been answered I apologize.
No Custom Status
I have now rooted twice, flashing the firmware posted in this forum in the middle. My phone has not shown custom on the bootscreen once. I also encrypt before I root, so maybe thats it. Who knew you could be encrypted with root?
Have you uninstall all the att bloatware without problems? Or used greenify to improve battery life?

Yes, all the typical rooting items work as they should. You can even flash zips with fireflash, and not trip Knox.
It's NOT in the bootscreen where you can see the custom status. It's in settings / about device / status. In the last line it crearly says "Custom" under Device status.

You'll generally have to manually flash updates once you've rooted, the OTA process will usually refuse to update a device running a modified system image. Not that big a problem, but sometimes it confuses people.

Or, install Samsung drivers, then Odin, and flash a stock image that way to return to stock, then OTA works fine. There is another thread around here with a stock image, I'd suggest anyone looking to return to stock in order to complete an OTA, to review that thread.

Would we be able to use fireflash and keep root if somebody were to get the OTA and customize it for our needs to keep root, etc? I know it's a hard question to answer, but maybe you guys have experience with other locked bootloader devices.

This is similar to how we did it on the AT&T S4 using safestrap to flash touchwiz based roms that were pre-rooted. Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to flash non-touchwiz based roms without an unlocked bootloader.

Yes. Use the ap slot to downgrade. You do not need sd to do it. After you are rooted read the top of the op about how to get Flashfire. You'll also need busy box i think.

No problem. It's barley 9:30 here in Texas. When you get ready to go up to 5.0 using the method in that thread make sure to set your screen timeout to 10 min. After flashing 5.0 with flashfire it took about 10-15 min for mine to boot back up.

Straight Talk, as long as the CC payment clears, they don't care what you do, lol... I was thinking it was the kernel too. When I get home I will check out Despair. How is your BT?

Thank you for the info. Can you tell me how or point me in the right direction to modify settings.db if you get a chance?

FYI that doesn't exist anymore. That was what worked for lollipop, but now with marshmallow they got rid of that file

I think it is now in build.prop file: net.tethering.noprovisioning=true. ?

That's what I've been told needs to be done but I haven't had any luck with it
does changing the kernel require root, or just unlocked bootloader? I tried rooting so I could update the build.prop file, but it soft bricked my phone after i rebooted phone and i needed to reflash stock (used no wipe option). So phone is working but no hotspot and no root (scared to try again after the last time!)

Do i need to be rooted to try a different kernel? I am willing to try the one you are using if it gives me back tethering. I dont use it much, and its my data to use, i dont want my carrier preventing me from using it! I have Cricket, i tried calling them to find out if the feature can be added and they said since its a bring your own device that it can't. it worked before i got the 6.0 update! WHY YOU DO THIS GOOGLE!
