Cannot root AT&T GT, with z4root

I just picked up my AT&T Galaxy tab, brand new. When I tried to install the z4root.apk file with the filemanager, I got a message:
"Install blocked. For security your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android market"
What gives? Three days ago I was able to use z4root to root T-Mobile's Galaxy Tab.
Is this device "locked" onto Market and how do I fix that without root?
The options are setting and cancel. Settings take me to "applications" and "development" is to to "allow mock locations" - but it does not make a difference.
PLEASE help.
Thanks

There is perfectly good z4root in the market, you don't have to sideload it.

i used it on my sprint tab and it didnt give me read / write access to system folder

you should remount the /system partition with rw access if you want to write there.

If it dont work the first time turn off the Tab and try again

Unfortunately Z4root was removed from the marketplace (again) yesterday. It was there in the morning but gone by the time I received my AT&T Galaxy Tab in the afternoon.
Does anyone know if Sideload Wonder Machine might work with Z4root on the AT&T GT, or another way to get Z4 on my Tab?

att tab blocked 3rd party apps need to use one click or flash euro rom on first

Off to work, I will give one click a try when I get home-thanks

ive tried that , ive used adb and root explorer neither of which actually give me access, adb just fails and root explorer says its r/w but everytime you do something it says its done but if you refresh the directory its still the same. I tried z4root, superoneclick root none seem to work I even restored my tab and started over but still no r/w access. This is my first attempt at rooting so maybe im doing something wrong but from what i was told it seems im not

I think you need to allow "Unknown Sources" under Application Settings. Try turning that on and see if it allows you to install.

Thanks
OneClick is working fine.

Please confirm, but I believe the issue is that AT&T has disabled sideloading, where T-Mo and other carriers have not.
I downloaded z4root last week but did not get around to rooting the Tab. Are we now saying that even though I have app, it will not work due to fact that it has been removed from Marketplace?
Will try the root when I get back home, but it sounds like AT&T Tab users are hosed for now.

[edit] - rooting with z4root worked fine. As long as you have it, all is good.

I have an at&t tab and no issue for me since i installed the euro firmware anyway. Up yours at&t!!!

thats because after you root you need busybox installed to write

Thanks maxtcee, my AT&T GT is now rooted!

After rooting w/One Click I did the WPA_Supplicant swap on the Tab for adhoc wireless connection. I have Wireless Tether on my Droid2 so now I don't need a data plan for my AT&T Tab!

With 3rd-party rom, can one still use AT&T's $25 2GB 30 day plan? Thanks! -- Kevin

Did you get any errors in the process?

[Q] Tethering on S4 Active

Is there any software that monitors our usage of tethering (snitching to AT&T for those of us without a tethering plan)? If so, what is it?

Software will prevent you from tethering without a tethering plan (or code to bypass those checks).
The only way AT&T knows if you are tethering is if they decide to investigate packet data. They can tell if the requests originated from your device or some other system (like a PC or tablet). AT&T will look deeper into your packet data if your usage raises a flag for them.

not my method, but ES file explorer will bypass checking your tethering provision and create a hotspot.
1. make sure you have WiFi off, the app won't do that automatically.
2. launch es file explorer.
3. press the menu button > tools > net manager > create a hotspot network.
4. enjoy.

I had mine rooted but this didn't work either. I don't have ATT so that might be why... I would really like to use the hotspot and tethering in the stock menu but I guess I'll have to wait till there's custom roms out...

Follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348261 then open noattched's app for his framework mod, under "Framework" I believe there is an option to enable WiFi tethering. This works on my S4 Active and was designed for use on the S4.

It didn't work with my T-Mobile SIM, it just kept saying invalid SIM and turning the hotspot back off. It's not that big of a deal, not enough for me to take the phone back anyway!
I really like the framework mod btw, so thanks for that!

B"H
SOLVED (From other forum): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43337053&postcount=27
1) disable "TetheringProvision" using AppQuarantine
2) Use EF File Explorer to enable a mobile hotspot
3) You still get an error message that settings stopped responding but the hotspot stays active.
I am rooted, of course.
Thank you!

S4 root to fix 4G/LTE issue?

I'm running stock 4.4.2 on my S4, but I can't get 4G/LTE connectivity. When I power it on, it shows 4G for 30 seconds and then goes to H or 3G. Of course I tried my sim with another phone and another sim in my phone, and they all work.
Now I want to do this:
After you have rooted the device completely, go to Google Play and install 'ES file explorer'. Open the app, and press the menu key on the device and you will get a panel to your left on the screen. Scroll down and enable Rootexplorer (you will ask to grant permission by the SuperSU app since you have rooted, so give permission). Now use the search function and find the file with this EXACT name 'persist.radio.lteon' and delete it. Please make sure you are deleting this exact file. Don't delete anything else and end up bricking your device. After deleting restart the phone and that's it! You will have the LTE/WCDMA/GSM option in the network mode once you are booted and you will receive 4G signals if you are in an area with LTE coverage.

I just want to root my phone, do the above and then unroot. What app or method is the easiest to do that?

[Guide] Re-Activate Native Hotspot

I was able to find a solution to re-activating the native hotspot feature on my Honor 8. Before, if I went to turn on my hotspot I was told I needed to activate the service from ATT, which I never had to do on my old Android device (perks of being on EMUI). The solution I used camefrom the Honor 5x forums found here.
This will require your device to be rooted. A tutorial for unlocking your bootloader, installing TWRP, and rooting for the Honor 8 can be found here.
Once rooted you will need to download a root explorer (file manager) that will allow you to access your system files. I used Root Explorer.
Go to System/App and then delete the ATTEntitle folder.
After rebooting your phone you should be able to use your native hotspot tethering!

Do you think it's region and/or mobile operator related?

I purchased my phone from Best Buy (USA) Unlocked. I use Cricket Wireless with an Unlimited Data plan, which was restricting my ability to tether. I believe that this would be for any Honor 8 due to due to their EMUI ROM.
Anyone else not have this issue? Coming from AOSP, I just want to help others get the feautes/control out of their phone they expect.

Some operators do block teetering while others say they do but in fact they don't.
At least from my experience.

I think this is carrier related. In the US there are differences in phones in different carriers in a single phone. Here in Asia we don't have that problem.

I wasn't able to make this work on L04 with StraightTalk on EMUI 5
Am I the only one having problem with this?

Doing this did enable my hotspot capability, but it made my call log stop working. I put the folder back and rebooted and it did make the call log work again but unfortunately leaving hotspot enabled before reboot did not leave it on when the phone came back on.

WiFi Tether unlimited nougat (ROOT)

What you need to do to get tethering on Nougat is root the device (temporarily at least), enable tethering and then (if you want) unroot it so that everything is back to normal and you can take OTA updates and use Android Pay without any issues.
All you’ll need to enable tethering on Android nougat is TWRP recovery installed on your device and the latest systemless SuperSU zip to root the device. (Always remember to backup your system just in case)
How to Enable Tethering on Android Nougat
Root your android running nougat
Edit build.prop file: Add the
net.tethering.noprovisioning
line to the bottom of build.prop file on your Android device. (Download Build Prop Editor from the play store if you don't know how to get to this, I suggest Rom toolbox as it has build.prop included as well as terminal emulator which you will need for the next step. LINKS BELOW)
Reboot device after saving changes to build.prop file.
Download/install a Terminal emulator app from Play Store (I used the terminal emulator included in ROM toolbox but you can choose whichever you'd like.) You also you WILL need busy box installed to be able to execute this line.
Open Terminal emulator on your device and issue the following commands one-by-one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit
└ Grant root access to the app when asked.
Reboot device
DONE!
If you wish to unroot now you can. I have not tested this so can't confirm if works after unroot (since I love having ROOT) but jyst go to
SuperSu settings full unroot. Restart and you should be good. This should renable android pay. If not don't ask me to help as I don't use android pay nor wish to unroot my own device.

Did you make sure u granted ROOT permission for the build prop and terminal apps? You also must restart in between the build prop and terminal commands. You also need busybox installed with root permission this was mist likely the reason it didn't stick. I've updated the OP along with links. Please let me know if that helps. Last note make sure everything is up to date.

hey no problem im glad i could help and that it worked. i think if u pay for a service they shouldnt limit you so much on using it

I think I might have spoken too soon. Is this for the Virgin Mobile or Boost Mobile J700P? I have Virgin Mobile and I keep getting the "you have not subscribed to this service" window. It stayed on for a few minutes but the minute I went to go connect my smart TV to my hotspot, it turned it back off.

Hmm try using a vpn. Nordvpn is having a 7day free trial right now. Reset your network settings, repeat the steps above. Before you turn on the hotspot shield turn on the vpn and after connect try it. If you still get the notification then its something installed on your phone from VM that's monitoring your usage which is most likely. I recommend switching to boost. Their 50$ plan is pretty good. Great coverage in my area and surroundings. I use about 200-300gb torrenting and tethering a month and they don't seem to care. Using a vpn I get about 2mb down consistently except during peak hours. Anyways let me know about the vpn working or not. Hopefully it's that simple.

Thank you. I'm definitely going to switch. I don't know why I'm paying $60 for "Unlimited" data to use only with the phone and they expect me to pay an additional $10 for only 2 Gigs of hotspot. I hardly use any of my phone data. LOL. Maybe I need to check prices of wifi internet for the home if they even have it in my neck of the woods. Thank you so very much for all your time and help. You're the bestest. Happy Holidays.

Yea I hear you. My $50 plan comes with 8gb hotspot buti tend to go over that...WAY over that lol. Currently torrenting 8 pc games lol. Side note though on this plan. You get 23gb a month "prioritized" connection meaning full speeds always. After that your put on the back burner during peak times or in other words when your tower your connected to is busy. Doesn't happen often it seems and I live in the middle of a decent size city so if you're not in say Houston or new York I'd say you won't have anything to worry about. I'm sorry I didn't fix your problem and I wish you the best. Happy holidays to you as well.

Did you type each line and hit enter(return) each time? Such as "su[enter]" starts another line "settings put global blah blah[enter]" it will start another line "exit[enter]" u may need to type exit again after this. I had to. So 2 "exit[enter]"

I used an alternative method I found here awhile back.. install APN backup and restore, convert it to a system app (important, use apps2sd or the like), backup your apns then edit the backup file, add ",dun" to each apn in the APN backup xml in the "type" field. Then go back into the APN backup app, delete apns and restore the backup you edited. There's a full write up here around the just forum somewhere with more details. It works great, may have to restore your APN backup if you update prl.

Open Terminal emulator on your device and issue the following commands one-by-one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit
└ Grant root access to the app when asked.
Reboot device
Now I put su and entered the setting line but when I put exit nothing happen.... I did reboot... any way how to tell if I did this right and works fine?? I have j700t1 metro

Sorry so late on reply. I hope you figured this out already but your on a different and newer version of this phone.

Does this method still work for you? Now when I use my WiFi after my 8gb limit it goes to boost homepage on connected device ?

Does this work on the j700t1.
I'm going to try it when I get home but I'm just curious if anyone got it working on the metro pcs variant.
