I have a GS4(SPH-L720) on Kitkat (NG2) and have been unsuccessful with getting Hotspot to work without it bugging me for a subscription check. I am rooted on stock (prefer to stay that way).
I have Xposed installed and the Moto Tether plugin that is supposed to have support for the GS4, but I still get a subscription error. I have even done the steps in THIS thread, but even with a modified value of 0 for tether_dun_required I still have issues. When I first changed this and tried turning on hotspot, my phone acted like it was going to work with tether, but after about 5 seconds it kicked back to asking for a subscription.
FoxFi used to work once upon a time, but I was on Jellybean with my old GS4. I have tried probably the first 20 apps in the Playstore for tethering and nothing seems to work. I feel like I am missing something. Any help?
edit: tether_dun_required is resetting itself from 0 to 1 in settings.db
Have also tried adding net.tether.provisioning=true in build.prop but that isn't working.

OD2 Hotspot Mod is in the General section... NG2 is outdated, I doubt you'll get much help. I've got the Galaxy Tools apk is you want it.

Oh wow, Galaxy Tools fixed it! The app honestly confuses the heck out of me, but a quick click of "start native hotspot", a reboot and boom Hotspot stays on. Works great. Thanks so much!

when i first start the app it asks for superuser permissions i allow and check the allow always button. so i'm 98% sure i'm good there. i have no idea why this will not work. any ideas??
Ive never had this problem, only when my phone was not rooted..
Hmm.. have u tried the regular stuff? Uninstall, reinstall, reboot, etc?
*This was posted from my Evo 4G using Tapatalkpro! Great app, if you want to browse and post through many dfferent forums*
Are you sure that you uninstalled the previous versions before you installed new ones? And if you installed a rom with it already installed, then used something like Titanium Backup and it restored Wireless tether, that can cause issues
yessir, i've uninstalled/installed every version of wifi router from oldest to current. i've also tried reloading my ROM 3 times with a different release each time.
the bizarre part is when i first got my evo i used unrevoked until i learned about full rooting and until then, my wifi router worked flawlessly. it's when i did the full root and nand unlock and installed OMJ's rom(with wifi built in) that the app quit working.
try this......
If you have root permissions, but still cannot start tethering, it may be an issue with either the tethering binaries or your tethering settings. From the main tether screen, try going to Menu->Setup->Menu->Reinstall binaries/configs.
when i hit menu from the main tether screen i get Settings, Access Control, Show Log and About.
So menu, then setup, once setup is open hit menu again and the option will pop up.let me know if it works.

Update your SuperUser Permissions app. ROM Manager has that, and you can find it on here.

I purchased a refurbished S8 (SM-G950F) from Argos eBay a few months ago. Phone seemed in perfect cosmetic condition, but the software side of it has started to annoy me.
I couldn't get banking apps to work correctly, then found out that when running Safety Net I get "CTS profile match - Fail". I've done nothing to it (root, ROMS etc), so can only assume it's something to do with the bootloader in the refurb process?
Also, weirdly, in "About Phone", the "My Phone Number" is totally different to mine.
Phone is currently on Nougat. Would it have had Oreo installed OTA if it was passing Safety Net?
What options do I have with regards to making it pass CTS profile match? Would flashing a new stock ROM be a waste of time if the bootloader has been modified?
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like the bootloader has been unlocked, try using magisk and magiskhide to hide root from your banking apps. Works for me on the Halifax banking app
Trying to install TWRP via Odin (to then get me to installing Magisk) but I'm going round in circles.
Everything I read online says you don't need a PIT file in Odin, but this is what mine is showing (JOdin3 on Mac OS, FYI)
Downloaded TWRP file and added to PDA section

Click Start, and get this popup
If I select a PIT it tells me I have I to re-boot phone, but when I re-boot into Download mode, it won't connect in Odin!
So it took me a bunch of attempts and a few times where I thought I'd soft-bricked it, but managed to install Magisk (and updated to Oreo in the process)
Ended up borrowing a legit Samsung cable, and doing it all on a Windows machine.
Also now have Google Pay working and fingerprint login on my banking app
Hi, i'm kinda desperate but I'll try to be as clear as possible. So.
Recently I got an used galaxy s8(G950F), at the time I got It, i could get network,make calls and lte with no problems, so, I saw that the mobile was rooted and also I had really bad problems of battery,like I almost lost all my battery because of the usage of android system,( i think an app was bugged or something because my phone was really overheating when I was only using chrome and nothing more, and happened with every app I used), I didn't want the device rooted and with that problem of battery. So I tried to flash another room in order to try to fix it, and when I did, I couldn't get into network, I only get the "emergency calls only".again, In order to try to fix that, i flashed some same csc and pda firmware,then another firmware with only same baseband, (always with original firmware) and nothing seems to work. I really don't know what to do now, I pulled out the sim before factory reset, and put it after, turning off airplane and turning on, like any easy solution I could find I tried it.I'm out of ideas. One thing I saw is that the firmware I had before has pda and csc from a firmware from MXO but a baseband from ARO that ends in CR1. I couldn't find a firmware like that and also I want to know if I can fix it, really. I'll really appreciate any help. Thanks.
Some more things: if I do try to select a network at the select networks operators I get "error while searching for networks" ,the network I'm trying to connect is movistar, I'm from Argentina, I'll attach screenshots of the firmware I had before (the one that was working the mobile data) and now, also the imei didn't change or disappear so I don't think that's the problem.

EDIT: ok, i send the phone to a repair shop and turns out that the imei is blacklisted and has been changed.also the person who sold me the phone didn't mention anything about that, so when i restarted my phone it came back to the original imei. big oof for me. if any moderator sees this you can delete the post.
Hey guys,
I'm posting here as a last resort before a factory reset.
By the way, let me first say that I'm sorry to post this here, as I know it's SO stupid, what's happening.
I had the same lock pattern for 2 years now, never had a problem.
Last week, it just fell out my mind completely. I've been trying for 4 days straight to remember it.
It's quite a complicated one, with the pattern tracing deactivated so I can't remember the shape and my thumb tried with its motor memory but to no avail :x
The thing is, I extensively use the notepad stock app (Samsung Notes ? Android Notes ?) and I have a **** TON of info I REALLY don't want to lose. And it's not on the SD card, ofc.
I don't care much about the rest, to be honest.
Fun fact, I only synced contacts via the android sync function.
So how can I either remove the lock pattern or access my phone files with an explorer on my computer (I guess I can find a memory file for the notepad somewhere), knowing that :
- Not rooted
- USB debugging not activated
- Not registered with Samsung account
- Android version is the latest available in France for an SM-A510F as I do all updates
I can provide as much as I can to prove my ownership of the phone if needed.
Thank you for reading and maybe for helping.
You have absolutely every right to laugh to my (dumb) face.
EDIT :
Just tried something else. Booted in recovery to try an ADB command.
Since Windows didn't recognize the phone in recovery mode, I selected the option "Load package with ADB" or something like that.
Now the phone was listed in devices on ADB and I tried this : adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
Result : error.
Great.
So since the phone was unresponsive to any button, I waited and there was a timeout on the package load.
BUT NOW...
I have a blue screen that says "Error!" and it's completely unresponsive.
GREAT.
I'm off to work, read you soon.
XOXO

Geniuses,
I've been trying to get Magisk Manager 23 running on my S8 and can't seem to figure out what's going wrong. I've installed the Oreo (8.0) stock ROMS with Odin and successfully rooted the phone using Magisk both with and without TWRP. Root works and even SafetyNet checks pass, but the Manager will not come up, it just stays stuck at the Home screen as if I have yet to install it. I should mention, any version of Magisk prior to 19 seems to work fine, but I need some of the plug-in features from 21+

What happened? How did you resolve it?
There is no worse thing on the internet than people posting, "oops fixed it" without them telling how they did it!

Bottom line is it's working fine. topjohnwu's installation instructions are not clear if you haven't been keeping up with each release, but this is how it works now...see the little floating menu of icons on the bottom of the third screen I posted...thats how you get to everything I thought was missing.
