I'm strongly considering switching from Tmo to RW to save some money. I have the S4 currently, which is feature packed but just feels like a llittle kids phone. Since RWs version of the Moto X uses proprietary software for wifi calling, has this made rooting the device difficult in any way? If I want to run stock android but have root access with the X on RW will I have any difficulty or limitations/
Also, I tether occasionally, maybe once every few weeks when I'm on the go and want to use my Nexus 10 and there's no wifi around. I know RW opposes tethering. How likely are they to go after someone who tethers if they stay well below their monthly data? Have any of you heard back from them after tethering? And does androids built in tethering feature/app work once rooted, or will I have to use a third party tethering app?
Thanks.

YES! I'm on RW with unlocked bootloader (thanks middleman), and the WiFi tether app works perfectly (NO native/built-in tether ability on the RW variant). If you unlock your bootloader (see the China Middleman Back??) thread in the general sub-forum. let me know and I'll link you to the appropriate instructions.
I don't know if this will work with tethered root (PIE), but I doubt it. I only KNOW that it works if you have unlocked bootloader.
Additionally, the tether app I refer to "hides" tether usage, so likely they will assume you are using that data on the device itself. I've had no issues, but stay WELL within the 5GB limit (rarely exceed 2GB).
Good Luck

Thanks for your reply. The tethering/mobile hotspot is completely removed from the Moto X RW ROM if I'm understanding you correctly then?
Which tethering app do you use? and please do link me to the instructions you used. Does OTA updating still work when you unlock the bootloader and apply root?

OTA updating will stop working at the point you flash a custom recovery (which is required to root). You can cross that bridge when a new OTA comes out, as we will no doubt have to advise countless people on what steps to take to be able to accept the OTA. Basically it involves disabling any modifications made to /system, disabling Xposed (if installed), and flashing back STOCK RECOVERY. Being unlocked has no affect on being able to accept the OTA.
Here is the relevant thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/solved-republic-wireless-unlocked-t2755730
Be sure to use the specific wifi-tether app listed in POST # 2 in that thread. You'll notice that it didn't work for me until I did a complete return-to-stock for unknown issues. The built-in hotspot feature has somehow been disabled by RW, and attempting to use it results in the RW app immediately "stealing" back WiFi, and a message saying something to the effect of "WTF? The phone just stole back WiFi access" appears on the screen LOL! Neither the Xposed module or the entitlement bypass worked for me, with any of the options (including the Sprint-specific build.prop tweak).
PLUS, native tether does NOT 'HIDE' usage, so they might know you are indeed tethering!!! I don't suggest trying...
Good Luck, let me know if you have additional questions.
I got my Moto X a few days ago and I'm very impressed. Republic has the 30 day trial period, but I'm more 90% sure I'm sticking with it, but if I do want to return it, can I unroot/lock the bootloader? Will they check to see if it has been rooted?
Are these the instructions I should follow? I'm on 4.2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-republic-wireless-moto-x-kitkat-4-t2738233
You can always flash back to stock but you can never return the phone to its locked bootloader state. It would read "relocked" and not "locked"

Hello,
Is there any one using the ATT GS5 on Tmobile network (obviously Tmobile SIM) with wifi calling working ? (Please..please.. I know ATT does not have wifi calling, But if you use a Tmobile Rom with Tmobile sim, you expect to have it working) !!
If yes, would you please share which ROM you are using ? Also if there is a trick to make it wok please share it?
Thanks
no luck so far
This is not a solution, I just wanted to report what I have tried so far.
I have a G900A with a t-mobile SIM card. I called TMO to make sure wifi calling was enabled on my line. I used towelroot + safestrap to install the t-mobile Alliance rom (B4), as well as the latest stock TMO rom. So far, wifi calling does not work. It is always stuck on "Enabling" in the calling options menu. VoLTE doesn't work either, but I wasn't expecting it to. My guess is that there is something in the TMO baseband that makes these things work and that ATT phones don't have.
Any hints and ideas would me much appreciated!

JJ here,
I tried this ROM - [ROM] G900TUVU1BNH5 ported from TMobile, rooted, deodexed, no knox, Download Booster
... everything works, nice and smooth, but the Wifi Calling is stuck "Enabling"...
Same boat.

does anyone know if the same issue will happen with the international version?
On a similar topic, my dad has a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5 which was sold in Malaysia. And I found out that his phone was not able to hotspot. I have downloaded the official firmware of Samsung Galaxy S5 for Malaysia and was going to use Odin to flash the firmware into his phone. Does that work and not brick the phone? The phone seems to be unlocked as it can be used here except the firmware and the phone is AT&T barnded. Any advise? Thanks

It all works!
Guys, I have some great news. Both wifi calling AND VoLTE now work on my SM-G900A on the T-mobile network. Here is what I did:
I installed the latest ATT firmware (OA1), released earlier this February. OTA update did not work, so I had to flash the original firmware (ANCE) via Odin, and then flash the two subsequent updates using update.zip on the SD Card. This will remove safestrap and root, but fear not.
Once my phone had AO1 installed, I used this tutorial to root the phone again. It invonves temporarily flashing an earlier (ND3) kernel, using TowelRoot, and then reflashing the OA1 kernel
With my OA1 rooted, I installed safestrap. Make sure you install busybox first.
With safestrap, I installed the T-mobile Alliance Rom (build B4).
Seconds after booting, both Wifi Calling and Voice over LTE work!
Enjoy!
Guillaume
Hi Guillaume,
Have you tried just installing the stock T-mobile 5.0 firmware on a Att GS5 ?
I have my GS5 in ND3 rooted and I'm on Tmobile, but the procedure you have seems really long...
I really need wifi calling as I'm travelling a lot and it allows to call my wife when I'm back in France.
Thanks

Thanks as this is great news for us G900A users on TMO! Question though: After 0A1 installed/backedup and Alliance installed, did you use safestrap [TWRP] to restore your data from 0A1 install?

Actually no; I had been using the t-mo alliance rom using safestrap for a long time (just with the old ATT modem and kernel), so I just restored the data associated with that.
Some more info after a day of tests:
You can also install the 5th build of Alliance Rom, it works too
The camera sometimes glitches a bit; toggling HDR on/off fixes it
Except for the camera glitch I'm pretty happy with it!

I might to try to create a flashable zip from the latest t-mobile lollipop release, keeping only the /system files, and see how that goes. This is really a shot in the dark, hoping that the 4.4.4 modem and kernel from ATT somehow work well enough with the t-mobile lollipop rom. Damn you locked bootloader!

Agree with the last expletive.
I did install in alliance B4 in slot 1 of Safestrap and both wi-fi tether and calling worked well. However, my G900A would not reboot or shutdown (dark screen) without a battery pull. After power up...worked?!?!
Did you install as "Stock" or in a slot?
Also have a G870A (Active). Do you know of anyone attempting the 0A1 method and Alliance Rom with the s5 Active?

I only use the stock slot.
B4 seems a bit more than stable than B5 for some reason. I get some signal issues with B5, and the fingerprint scanner sometimes fails. (It works when I first install B4, use it for a while, and then upgrade to B5. But if I do a /data wipe on B5, these issues appear. I have no idea why).

Okay thanks,
So I started the steps, I've Odin the original firmware and factory reset on but my baseband stayed ND3...
Tried the OTA update hoping that it would work, but as expected it did not.
So I guess I'm at step 1 of your step one.
Then you said you pushed the update via sd card, where did you find the updates ?
Then I'll do the other steps!

OK. Installed in stock slot but ROM behaved much differently.
1. Wifi sms/mms work both send/receive but erratically.
2. Outgoing calls connect then immediately drop with local "cancelled" within a few milli-secs with a partial ring at the far end.
3. Can't receive calls at all. TMO network thinks I'm offline even though can receive a text.
3. Phone App GUI stutters when making a call.
4. Camera is basically not usable.
Where there any special steps you took to get this working installed in the stock slot? Has your install remained stable? Thanks in advance.

My phone is still working flawlessly. What your are describing is what happened to me during the short period I reverted to the NG3 kernel in order to use Towelroot. Did you make sure to reflash the OA1 kernel once you were rooted? (before installing safestrap and, within safestrap, installing the Alliance Rom). I have found Alliance B4 to be more stable, so you could try that. Finally, a factory reset (wipe option in safestrap). Beyond that, you could try the whole thing again: flash the "downgrade to NCE" rom, which will remove safestrap and clean everything up; and take the tutorial from there.

Thanks again Guillaume,
Was running OA1 prior to Alliance B3, so just wiped Dalvik and Cache again, rebooted and left phone for the night. By next morning all was well except for the camera HDR issue. Once toggled it is OK until closed and reopened. Haven't had the time to look into whether there are Alliance B4 options which may affect this.
Have run it a few days and have had zero issues with Wi-Fi calling or tethering or apps: a very smooth experience.
Thanks again for your contribution. Also muniz_ri will find a bottle of wine on the doorstep soon. :highfive:
I know the verizon version is now able to enable hotspot but it their anyway for the AT&T version as of right now? can any third party app do it? I've tried PDAnet/foxfi but it gives me an error.

Maybe a third party app off the store?
Im not sure what you guys are trying to do, but for me to turn on mobile hotspot, I just go to Settings>Connections>Mobile Hotspot and Tethering>Mobile Hotspot>click the button to on... it works just fine.

I think it's still locked via that route if you're on an old data plan. Not sure, as I've been on a new plan for a while now.

Yes, for people like myself who are still grandfathered in to unlimited data. By default, wifi tethering is disabled. The above link provides a mod to enable it.

Third-party wi-fi tether apps
Any third-party tether apps (not USB -- I want a wi-fi router) confirmed to work on rooted AT&T S6 running AOCE? I see this is for AOE2 ROM, but I rooted already and really don't want to go through all the app/settings re-do by flashing back to stock and then flashing AOE2 if I can help it. I'll pay $2 or $3 for an app if someone can confirm it works on AOCE...

I've not seen/heard anything that would work on OCE, but if your rooted why not titanium backup, or back up data in flashfire then use Odin to flash OE2. After reroot and restore data?

I was asking in another thread for confirmation that I could do that, in fact. If I can flash AOE2 over the top, then the path to tethering is easy (by way of backing up what I can). Have only had the S6 for 27 hours, but I've already done a fair number of customizations -- but I can re-do them if need be.
Just to double-check, I can (or can not?), coming from AOCE baseband:
- TB / backup data
- ODIN to push AOE2 on
- PingPong to re-root
- restore data/config
- tether for the win
???
I say with 95% certainty you can. I have not tried it but it should work. I can't imagine why it wouldn't.
It's best to go with OE2 and get it over with. You'll benefit from the memory leak fix and have greater battery life. I done it and I got the Wifi tether hack working on my unlimited data plan. There was an option to restore apps when I went from stock AT&T ROM (OE2) to CleanROM 1.1 (OE2), but I'm not sure how it was backed up in the first place. I elected to just start fresh and clean. Didn't take much time from me to redo a lot of the apps (e.g., redownload, reconfigure). Worse case, you can risk flashing the hack on the OCE and see what happens, but better back up everything first before doing so.
I have a t-mobile purchases N6 that is running rooted stock. This morning I got the message that the 5.1.1 update was available and I let it download but since I am running TWRP, nothing happened at reboot which is what you would expect. Can I just install the rom that downloads? I know there is a rooted stock rom available but I sometimes use wifi calling. I don't care if I lose root but I want to make sure I don't brick my phone.
I think more than anything I don't want to keep looking at the notification that tells me there is a new version and it won't go away.
You won't be able to flash the OTA file since you made modifications to /system. It will just fail The OTA is just a patch and not a full image.
If you want to update to 5.1.1, you'll need to flash the image or a custom ROM.
Ok thanks! Other than losing WiFi calling, is there any issue with flashing the international ROM to a T-Mobile phone? I know T-Mobile has a weird band that isn't always connected with all radios, at least on other phones.
if you want wifi calling and 5.1.1, install the t-mobile specific rom here:

Hey all this is my first post on XDA.
So I was trying to unroot and relock my nexus 6 so i decided to replace the build.prop that i have edited with a copy of the original build.prop i had saved on my phone. I used root browser to do this. after I did this I restarted my phone and all I would get is a black screen with google in white and an unlocked lock. it will not boot back up.
My phone will go into recovery mode and that about all i can tell you.
I would truly appreciate your help.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can fastboot flash the stock factory image.
Or, if you have TWRP Recovery (I sure hope so, since you were modifying the build.prop) you can connect to your PC while in recovery, then transfer a custom ROM .zip from your PC to your SDcard. Then flash it in recovery.
I had the same thing happen, all you need to do is flash the system image only. Luckily you don't need to flash userdata. Still looking for a way to enable tethering.

you do realize that when you edit your build.prop, if you edit to something that doesnt support the n6 or you make a spelling error somewhere, then most likely it will not boot? anyways, the easy way around this is before you edit your build.prop, make a nandroid backup in recovery. so that when you mess up, it won't be a pain in the butt to get everything back.

Am new at this and in uncharted territory. I rooted my new Google Nexus 6 using the WugFresh, Nexus Root Toolkit 2.0.4, Root program downloaded. Also downloaded Busybox, ES File Explorer, Superuser, TWRP, Root Browser. I fail to understand which one gives me root control. Also loaded Cyanogen Mod 12.1 nightly build as a ROM. Also downloaded Wifi Tether 3.4 Experimental 1-07202013 which has worked in my old rooted Galaxy Nexus since 2013, and previous versions since 2011.
I'm thinking I am in over my head as I attempt to deal with a new system, Lollipop, and now Marshmallow 5.1.1 and new phone Nexus 6 and older tether program? Can you suggest or recommend a ROM with perhaps more compatibility and ease of tethering? Wife and I live deep in country and our phone tether only access we have over Verizon with the repeater.
