According to this man, we now have root on the Droid X
Update, information to be posted here
http://alldroid.org/Default.aspx?tabid=40&g=posts&t=493
This is Fantastic news to wake up 2. Thanks for sharing.
Freakin awesome - has anyone tried it yet?
Yea,
It seems to work.
I've removed CityID, Blockbuster, and Skype in adb after the install.
I'd love to try it but I'm not able to get the ADBDriver_v3_Google.zip attachment you supposedly need to do it.

This is what I used, I'm sure a moderator will remove it if this shouldn't be posted, and if so, sorry.
Wow - this works!!!
Got Wifi Tether working like a champ.
Cannot make the following work. Do we need to make it work?
1) Dial ##778, SEND
2) EPST dialog comes up. Select 'Edit Mode'. Enter SPC (000000), hit OK.
3) Scroll to down to 'Security', select it. Change 'S.IP DUN User name' to [email protected] (from [email protected])
4) Hit back arrow to go back and go/select 'M.IP Default Profile'. Change 'DUN NAI' to [email protected] (from [email protected])
5) Hit menu button, and 'Commit Modifications', phone will save changes and reboot.

Do you just need to install the apk?
Never rooted before so wasn't sure if it was that simple.
Thanks
Edit: Never mind, over at the other site ans see the directions.

Are you sure Verizon isn't going to charge for WiFi tethering just because it's rooted?
Anyone figure out how to remove the amazon mp3 app? I deleted it from the system/app folder but it's still showing up, perhaps what I deleted was just an update?
Is there any possibility that this can be blocked with another OTA update?

I forgot the name, but it is obvious in the ls listing, so replace <blockbuster> with the actual name from the ls command
adb shell
su
cd /system/app
ls <find the blockbuster.apk >
rm -r <blockbuster>.apk
Then I went into menu->settings->Applications->Manage Applications
Selected the blockbuster app, and deleted it.

Actually, rooting voids your Verizon Service Contract as well as your Motorola warranty (you're "modifying" the device), technically speaking.
If you're on Verizon month-to-month, I would guess you're also violating the terms of service for that as well (though I'm not certain on this one).
Of course, I assume there's no reasonable way for them to actually tell if your device is rooted (remotely), and if you unroot and factory reset, no way for them to tell it ever was rooted in the first place.
I will say if anyone would try to make sure they're getting their tethering cash, though, it's Verizon. I expect the Droid X official Froyo update will address the exploit Birdman's root uses.
Though hopefully it will have its own fun-filled vulnerabilities to exploit.
Some people report that the Native Hotspot was not working for them. It seems like the only thing that actually fixed my Hotspot was deleting the folder ATTEntitle so please share your experiences and carrier. (I have KIW-L24 on AT&T Unlimited). Try removing ATTEntitle folder first and if Hotspot still won't work then try database edits below.
ROOT USERS-
Needed apps: Root Explorer and SQLite editor (paid versions)
*Make a Backup of Honor 5x in TWRP*
Using SQLITE editor app:
1). We will change 2 lines in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
In settings.db you go to global and add
tether_dun_required 0
Then go to system (also in settings.db) and add tether_entitlement_check_state 0
2). To edit build.prop use Root Explorer app's "text editor" to add net.tethering.noprovision=true
(build.prop is located in system folder)
Save and exit "text editor"
3). And finally go to system/app and delete ATTEntitle folder. (*If folder does not exist ignore this step*)
Turn phone off and use TWRP to wipe cache
After reboot Hotspot should work!
1a.* Alternatively, you can use adb shell commands(Non-Root):
adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0
adb shell settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
1b.* Or using terminal emulated (root):
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
Probably still need to delete entitle folder in system/app or add line to build.prop.
Please report whether this helped anyone or not.
Hotspot is by the carrier. If the carrier doesn't allow it then it wont activate on any phone.

Any android phone I ever had I was able to unlock the Hotspot. The carrier puts something in the Stock rom that checks whether you have paid for the service, but it definetly can be unlocked.
AOSP android has "Native tethering" and even on a stock rom there is a way to take the verification check out. I just forgot how and where it is.(possibly Framework) Does anyone know where that is in Emui?
Here is the AT&T Galaxy S4 Hotspot Mod for stock touchwiz. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535141 Usually it is baked into ROM as well.
Edit--Can someone who has already downloaded the Emui system for US version Honor 5x upload as a zip? Most likely I can find the file to fix Hotspot. My internet is not so fast.
If that's the case I would like to know as well. Hope something comes out. Still waiting on ROMs for this phone.

I am away from a computer but expect to get one later. (Mine is headed in for repair). I will use new TWRP and ROOT phone. I will try Hotspot but I expect it to still be locked. I f I figure it all out I'll upload the fix for others. May take a while.
Im on cricket/ATT . Rooted and its still locked. I think there are some apps if you have root that enable it. Ill probably just wait until we can flash a fix or custom ROM
I am on AT&T. All stock. I can WiFi Hotspot but the connection keeps getting disconnected. This is the only device that this happens on with the same SIM. Anyone else having issues staying connected?

Not sure if this makes any difference, but Are you using MicroSIM or NanoSIM card? I have the older microsim and No Hotspot allowed.
It actually checks for Verification. And then denies access. I need to fix this one ASAP. I'm looking through system but find nothing obvious.
In Samsung GS4 I think it was tetheringprovision.Apk and also framework-res.Jar. I'll keep looking though :what:

I have a nanoSim. It's not the SIM, I am sure of that. Have used this same SIM in at least 3 other phones with no issue on WiFi Hotspot. It's only the H5X that I have the issue.
well, i tried about three apps for tethering with root and so far no luck. Does anyone know of a third party tethering app that works on this os. (at least until we have a native solution)

I do not know of a 3rd party as I have never had to use one. I always unlocked Native Android Hotspot or installed a ROM with it unlocked already.
I have been trying to look inside the system for the code or apk responsible for "Checking for Verification" but I can not decompile the framework-res.apk where I suspect the code to be.
I installed the newest sdk and know Apktool works, but it will only work for other apks before 5.0 LP. I get errors every time I try to install the framework-res as all tutorials tell me to do.
I guess when you want to modify system apks you must install the framework-res from system as well. Does anyone have any advice for me or a better program for editing android apks/jar?
No clue on how to use those tools, but read up a little (tiny) amount of the apktool thread: apktool seems like a fun or at least interesting endeavor.

So It turns out I may not need to decompile apk. I now think the problem is in databases. I'm still working on this Hotspot fix. I feel I am closer now.
It is such a pain in my a$$ to have to take SIM card out of my awesome Honor 5x to use my older GS4 to turn on Hotspot when I'm not around true WiFi.lol. Hope to have a fix soon.
Hotspot is the only reason I got this phone. Hope you get it working.... hell I'll even give you a few bucks lol.

I have no idea why it works, but my hotspot worked immediately. On T-Mobile with 10 +year old sim card, that I cut down to fit the nano slot. Which suggests the carrier is the issue. T-Mobile has always been aggressive with hotspot and WiFi calling.

As far as I know they cannot fully block it. The block is within the device in the system. If I simply take my SD card out of Honor 5x and put it in my ATT Galaxy S4 I have working Hotspot. I just checked earlier today.

You can use Sqlite editor from the play store to edit the databases.I'm already looking now to see if I can find it.
Sent from my KIW-L24 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I tried SQlite but it gives an error. If you want to edit database (.db) file on Android device I would use asqlitemanager and ashell.
It copies the database from the data/data/ folder in system and opens it in temp folder. I gave up and grabbed my laptop and used Windows program instead. I was looking at data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/telephony.db.
I think I edited wrong line though, because it made the SIM Card unreadable until I restored a backup. I tried changing "auth type" for my carrier (ATT Phone). Of course this did not work. I changed the line from -1 to 1.
I did some reading and saw somewhere that"auth type" uses integer 0-3
0 is for no authentication
1 is for PAP authentication
2 is for CHAP authentication
3 is for CHAP or PAP
But if this is true then why is there a -1 on some carriers?
Here this explains the format of telephony.db a little bit http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Telephony.Carriers.html

When you made this edit did the Advanced Calling options go away in settings?
It's doing that on custom ROM oddly.
But you can still turn off Video Calling in call/settings, but can't get turn AC off completely unless you backtrack the MOD. Was a PITA tracking down what was taking AC away from settings menu and turns out to be this one single edit lol

AC = auto call? I can still turn it off and on without it crashing, but haven't tested if it actually disables if I uncheck it.
Flying home tonight. So I'll check then.

AC = Advanced Calling, sorry.
I think misunderstood my question.
So with customs ROMs I have ran into an issue where I lost the Advanced Calling and Tethering options in Settings menu (see attached screenshot). I finally after way too many hours, tracked the problem down to this one MOD (I had to find if it was from an app I was editing, then down to edits in the system, finally found it was in the customize folder and then in ACC/default.xml and even in there took forever as I had many changes). As soon as I make the edit and reboot they are gone, make edit back to stock and they show.
Everything still works fine - in regards to Advanced Calling, HD Calling and Wi-Fi Calling but those settings menu options just aren't there to turn on and off. I can get to an option to turn off Video Calling (see 2nd attached screenshot) which then leaves it into HD Calling state.
What I do as a workaround is keep a default.xml.bak with this MOD removed if I ever need to get into the options for w.e reason and they are only a reboot away.
Not the biggest problem, but very strange indeed. I made the same edit on M8, but M9 as well and never ran into this issue.
I was wondering if you had this issue as well after doing this MOD.

Thanks for the directions on this @andybones - Verizon's constant wifi notification nag drives me nuts.
Just applied this to @santod040's Nougat stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...m-1-85-605-9-aroma-root-root-debloat-t3529732) and it appears to continue to behave as you expect: lost the Advanced Calling and Wifi Tethering options out of the Settings menu. I can still get at the tethering via the sub-menu 'Mobile network sharing' as well as the quick settings pane so good to go. Too bad this even has to be a thing. #&$*#&$ Verizon

Very welcome. I know of another method to remove the WiFi Nag and still keep the Menus correctly in Settings. It's actually a method that we used on the M8 if I recall correctly. The current method posted here was what we used on the M9, and strangely had no affect to Settings Menu, even though the M9 also has Advanced Calling. I remember testing this method out a little bit ago on the 10, and all was fine. However to be sure, I am posting a .zip with the edited .apk and a .zip with stock, to go back to stock, and also if anyone wants to see what was done. Simple edits of removing 10 .png images.

Configure "Allowed Devices"... maybe? Other than that I really don't know what else you can do, there doesn't seem to be much configuration on Mobile hotspot like you could on a regular modem. It's either allowed devices or changing the password.

Correct, make sure that the devices you want to be connected to your mobile hotspot are connected already so that you can add them to your "Allowed devices".
Yes, config your 'Allowed Devices' list for clients of your mobile hot spot.

nougat didnt have that option, it was weird tho, but u could only rename or change password, no more... im back with mm
Due to my own experiences after having purchased many Galaxy devices, I've noticed, Samsung likes to hide toggles.. So I always put my own back in, with adb, or an app. For newer android devices, we need adb.
So on your Galaxy, go to settings>developer options, and enable USB debugging, and Stay awake. (If you don't see developer options, go into 'About phone', and tap on 'Build Number' 7+ times until achieved.
Plug your phone into your computer, and make sure it's drivers are installed and the phone is coming up properly.
Download the ADB files, on your PC, here in a .Zip or a Folder
Then, open up an Admin CMD, (if you don't know how, GOOGLE.) Then, open up the directory of the ADB folder in the cmd.
Example, on my computer, I left the folder in downloads, so I type into the cmd cd c:\users/Jae/downloads/platform-tools Example
Type adb devices into the cmd. (Make sure only one phone is attached) If you see your phone, (random looking numbers & letters) good. If it says 'unauthorized' check the phone and make sure tap allow, if you don't see anything.. detach it & reattach, and type in adb devices again. When it says 'device', you're good. Go to the next step.
Type adb shell and at this point, you should be looking like This.. If you do, copy and paste this settings get secure sysui_qs_tiles
Once it loads, copy what came up by highlighting like this, and then use ctrl+v . Yours will be/look different, depending on your toggles. Paste it into a text file, or whatever.
Then copy settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles and paste it in front of all of that, then put ' in front of the first toggle, and after the last toggle. Like this, 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth' < JUST AN EXAMPLE
This is where you add in your missing toggles, using only commas to separate, no spaces.. Most commonly desired MobileData. There's more, if wanted. So, for example, if you start with 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth'
You should finish with 'SilentMode,Wifi,Bluetooth,MobileData,WifiHotspot' or any order you like. (MAKE SURE NO SPACES IN BETWEEN ANY TOGGLES. ONLY COMMAS.)
Should be looking like THIS!! then, copy it so it looks just like in the last screenshot. Simply right click in the cmd, and hit enter..
If you get a syntax error, you did something wrong. Like leaving out the ' at the beginning, and ' at the end of the toggles, or spaces somewhere other than the command.
If you have no errors, check your Quick Toggles for the newly added ones. Should be there, no restart necessary or anything.
If successful, congrats. If not, I can help. Just ask. (don't ask about anything other than the topic, PLEASE..)
As of December 30th, 2019, this still works just fine. HOWEVER on newer android updates, 'MobileHotspot' has been renamed to JUST 'Hotspot' . So if you're not seeing the icon after applying this fix, this is probably why. Try with Hotspot instead of MobileHotspot.
Thanks for the solution, finally I added mobile data icon!

No problem! Glad this worked out for you.
Hey there! This worked great prior to the update I just did last week. I wanted to get the wifihotspot to be the first icon when i dropped the quick toggle menu down, instead of rifling through Settings, Connections, Mobile Hotspot and tethering, then finally able to switch it on. Now when I put wifihotspot in the command line you posted, it just stays at the default. It's as though they may have changed the name of the wifihotspot toggle to something else. Any idea? My phone is a S7, Android 8.0.0, Samsung Experience version 9.0, Baseband version G930W8VLU3CRE3. A lot more software info but hopefully that's enough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, I have the same problem with MobileData. Even though I add it to the list, the tile doesn't seem to appear...
Any idea on the new name if it even exist anymore?
So, would I be able to add the DeX software toggle thats on the galaxy tab s4? this would be the best.
Best answer all the times
I have been looking for this solution nearly a year! And thank you really, thank you too much. I m glad.
AWESOME! Added "HotSpot" to my Rogers Galaxy S8+ in Canada. Thanks so much!
Question
I have small question. Is there a way to stop asking "Turn off mobile data" question?
I mean for example mobile data on. And when you touch toggle it asks "Mobile Data unless.. bla bla do you want to turn off mobile data?" I just want to change it as without any question.
Thank you
I was able to add "Hotspot" toggle to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A.

This, I am not sure. I was also wondering the same thing, but it wasn't that big of a deal to me to search for it or try to disable it myself.
Search around though, you may find something on the net.

I can confirm this MobileData name has remained the same through current date. Dec 30, 2019. I just received an update on my phone and had to repair tiles again. Nothing has changed with this.

Unfortunately, installing other software isn't as simple as this TileCode fix.
You should search other XDA threads for that. And beware, read EVERYTHING before trying to apply anything!
