Rooted Nougat S7 - How to Get Wifi Tethering - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Sorry I'm not very tech-savvy but did manage to root my S7. I was sad when I realized S7 was Nougat as I used FoxFi on my S6 daily. So now I have a verified rooted phone but I cannot get free tethering still. I installed quite a few (ROOT) tethering apps and they all fail even after I grant root permission.
Some help please?
Thanks,
Mark

This ROM has the ability to Wifi tether already built in. It offers several versions of debloat through an Aroma installer and is basically one of the only customizable roms we currently have.
An alternative would be to backup all your apps and personal things, then Odin flash to MM and restore apps and personals. This should allow you to flash things like Xposed.

thanks but I already rooted my phone. I don't understand though, there are so many tethering apps that say "root only" but they don't work for me. Is there a step I have to do to make those work?

You either use the hybrid Rom for tether with nougat, or go back to marshmallow. Nougat doesn't allow tethering services to activate through root with the security patches and request of the carrier I believe, with exception of the hybrid Rom for u or tmo/vzw

hotspot hack

Is there a hotspot hack for rooted mje? I rarely use unless cable goes down but it's nice to have a backup. I'll wait on rooting if there's no hotspot hack.
Or does wifi tether for root users work?

Yes there is, any of the current available ROMs have an available WiFi hotspot that works without any issues.

thanks for the reply now do I have to use a rom kinda wanted to stick with stock rom. Unless I don't have to use safe strap I never liked the idea of using up space on my device.

I'm not sure if it works on the stock ROM anymore. SafeStrap does not take up much space at all and Beans ROM is basically a pimped out version of the stock ROM with a bunch of additional features and less bloatware.

fwiw on MJ7 I have tried Android wifi tether and also that market hotspt toggle widget app (video), and neither of those seemed to work with rooted stock MJ7. But FoxFi works ($7.95 to avoid free version limitation), and so does "Tether Setting" (noboru)*. The latter is free, but only does WPA; but it requires far fewer Android Permissions than FoxFi.
Don't feel bad about being conservative. I've got rooted-stock-MJ7 in a secondary Safestrap slot and virginal (but rooted) MJ7 in the stock slot. For now, when I screw around with debloating or freezing, I only do that in a dev slot. Lame, right?
YMMV on MJE.
*for this one you might also need to use the trick where when the "you don't have a subscription for this" screen pops up, you just ignore it by using the Home key (rather than cancelling it).
.
I too would like to stick with the stock rom. I don't mind rooting, so is there an apk that I can install so I can tether?
Got my phone and tried Foxfi, and it works! I'm on MJE
I do miss Android Wifi Tether, just because it gave me a good idea of how much data I had used.
Has anyone had success using "WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso" ?
This supposedly allows tethering also...

[Q] Rooting to Tether/Mobile Hotspot

Hello everyone, this is gonna super noob of me to post but I'm going to do it because I'm a bit confused.
I'm ok with the stock rom, I'm sure down the road some day I will install a custom rom or cyanogen mod. But for now I understand that rooting the Note 4 will trigger a change in state to show that the device had been rooted before.
I've rooted and installed custom roms on countless phones before, but the reason I make this post was because I achieved tethering/mobile hotspot by installing cyanogenmod, which came prebundled with those features enabled. I don't really want to install a custom rom, but I do want to somehow have the ability to tether/mobile hotspot without installing a custom rom. What would be the way to do that? Do I have to install an apk after rooting and if so, what would that apk be? (Using Sprint unlimited data)
TL;DR - Noob here trying find the best way to use mobile hotspot/tether without paying carrier.
Thanks for your time and sorry for such a noobish question.

if your rooted here's your best try
I use Foxfi. It doesnt need root and it does mobile wifi teather without carrier charge. I'm on verizon, not sure if it works on sprint.
Tethering and mobile hotspot just work when completely stock and un-rooted.... I guess if you get it from specific carriers they can block this function?
i'm on USA Sprint and foxfi uses the stock tether function so access to those function is denied unless you pay for it, which is why I have to root.

Do we really need ROOT on the Moto X Pure?

Hi All,
I've had many android phones in the past, and I could not go without rooting them. Rooting offered efficient ROMs and some tethering I needed. I feel as though the Moto X Pure is the stock android that we all want. I have only had Sense/TW/Droid phones, thus needed to ROOT/flash AOSP ROMs.
What are the advantages of unlocking the boot-loader/rooting thisphone? I am seriously considering purchasing one. I am a big fan of Motorola, and I am an even bigger fan of true Android.
Thanks in advance,

The only reasons I rooted was for Titanium Backup, full TWRP backup, and Xposed. I use Xposed for GravityBox to allow me to customize the phone without needing a ROM, and for a module that colors my nav bar and status bar within every app. Basically, if you don't see yourself wanting to customize features that custom ROMs have, or you don't need to backup your apps and their data, you don't need root. At least not in my opinion. Titanium Backup is the biggest reason I root. I need to have backups of my apps and data just in case something happens to my phone, or when I upgrade phones.
Edit: As others said, Adaway is another reason to root. I'm so used to having this that I forgot to include it in my list lol.
Don't forget adfree/adaway.
Count me in on the Titanium backup and Adaway.
Got it. Thank you for the info guys. As far as rooting goes, am I required to flash a custom ROM if I root the Moto X? Or is recovery the only thing necessary?
You dont have to flash a custom rom.

I rooted for the reasons the others mentioned - Titanium Backup and Adaway, also having a nandroid backup of a fresh stock setup. You're right though, this phone would be easy to live with as it comes from the factory. I'm glad I got it, I like it a lot.
Persistent desktop view in Chrome. You can add a command line switch in /data/local/ that will force the user agent to appear to be from a pc. The 'request desktop' in settings is a per visit option. I like it a bit more permanent. Specially on a larger screen.

Adaway.. nuff said
I think the main reason for people to root now is mainly just xposed or when backing up data.
Adaway is worth the trouble rooting alone.
I root for custom roms n kernels. Maybe not so much for xpe, but other device definitely needs it. As for xpe, custom rom with kernel that increase battery life is a must. Why would you need tb? Unless you were constantly flashing roms?

I root for 3 reasons: ad blocking, TIBU, and app permissions. Marshmellow is pretty much eliminating the need for 2 of those, but I still feel like I need to root for ads.

As many other people have said:
1) Titanium Backup (if you want to easily port over apps & settings from your old phone to your new phone).
2) AdAway (both web-based AdAway and YouTube AdBlocker).
3) WiFi Tethering - Makes it a lot easier to do on any carrier
4) GravityBox (an XPosed module). Lets you customize the UI of your phone without installing custom ROMs; such as circle battery indicators, expanded Reboot menus, change color and behavior of the Status Bar, etc.
If you're going to be getting a Moto X Pure, you really should root the phone the moment you get it. The process of rooting this phone will wipe the phone clean. And it allows you to use Titanium Backup to port over apps & settings from your old phone. Both are reasons why you should root immediately, rather than wait 2 months to do it.

Not necessarily some people like myself will wait a few days to make sure all the hardware is up to snuff to make sure if something is wrong the return process isn't complicated. And I doubt many people wait a couple of months unless they're waiting a stable recovery or xposed module.
just to be clear, M will require you to flash a custom kernel for root, unless Chainfire somehow updates SuperSU to play nice with the stock M kernel. Also system RW protection is enabled by default at the kernel level on M.

Lenovo TB3-850F root?

Just got this tablet today for around the house use light gaming watching YouTube and reading books on it but i can't find any info on this thing and what I do find is conflicting box says 1.00ghz on the 8inch website says 1.30ghz and a completely different cpu, mines manufacturer date was a month ago so I thought I had the latest model it has android 6.0 on it from the factory
Question is its pretty slow in basic games and Web browsing etc is there any info on rooting this or installing a rom allowing over clocking, I'd like to get the performance up a bit if possible.. I have noticed it cuts all cores off but one during some tasks and makes it come to a stand still almost so if I could root just to stop that I'd be happy
Kingroot, maybe?
https://kingroot.net/
I'd be hesitant, though; since it doesn't seem like there's any TWRP - and you'd def want a backup of the system before you root, or OTAs will be a nope.
kingroot failed, requested root and it shows 1 request so i doubt there is any root available for it right now its too new

Kingo Root
Have you tried Kingo Root (via kingoapp.com)?
I was able to rooot my TB3-710F (Android 5.0.1 lollipop) with their windows version after a few attempts. Not sure if there was a trick to it or not. Have flashed back to stock and will try again to see if I can repeat.
Android 6.0 probably fixed most known exploits.

Any news? Does smb succeed with TWRP or root on device?
Hi All,
This is perfect thread, I was trying to find info on this Tablet, and there is hardly anything about it...
Has anyone managed to find / know, or get TWRP or CWM onto this device yet?? I was planning on picking one up tomorrow, but it all depends if there is a Custom Recovery available for it....
I see there is a custom recovery available for last years smaller 7" brother Tablet.... Please, let it be so....
Cheers, Lister
My Lenovo TB3-850F, Android 6.0, failed to root with KingRoot or KingoRoot (tried both the APK and Windows versions). Anyone have any other ideas?

On my TB3-850F I notice that Lenovo doesn't really add bloat to begin with. The non-standard apps can simply be uninstalled in the usual way. After years of using Samsung (Note, Note II, Tab 2) this is a refreshing change for me (on Samsung stock ROM the "extra" apps are baked in and can be frozen but not truly uninstalled; OK you can kind of uninstall them with 3C or Titanium but you can't actually reclaim any space so you might as well just freeze them).
Anyway I think a pre-rooted stock ROM is a good idea as there is no Chainfire Auto Root or similar yet and from the other forum posts on this device it's clear that people struggle when using adb and fastboot and TWRP if they are not already familiar with these kinds of tools and environments.

Lenovo is certainly more sparing on the bloat than manufacturers like Samsung for sure, not to mention all the bloat that comes pre-installed on the bulk of carrier branded devices. There are several Google related applications, however, which are baked in. With deodexing, lib removals, app data and app cache, I have been able to free up nearly 500 MB of space, leaving the end user with a bare bones Google infrastructure -- Google Play Services, Framework, Play Store, etc. More and more Android enthusiasts are becoming focused on privacy, and are steering away from all the Google centered applications.
Yeah on root I'm including a patched boot image for full systemless root support, using @Chainfire's SuperSU v2.79 TWRP flashable zip. I've made a couple of stability tweaks to the TWRP custom recovery already available for this tablet as well.
Oh, keep in mind on this particular MTK Board Platform and partitioning index, the /system image partition is allotted to 3.0GB. With bloat removed and some cleanup, the /system partition can be re-sized to 2.3GB using ext4fs, leaving 700MB to be carried back over to the /data partition.

You may be interested in this ROM I mentioned in Lister of Smeg's TB3-850F Thread. It's for sister tablet with SIM card, TB3-850M. Fran89 has been working on device tree etc for TB3-850F, but efforts with custom ROM seem to have stalled. PW.

Abandon Root or Abandon Phone?

Hi all,
I'm on a Sprint S8 running PartCyborgRom. More and more apps that I use are no longer usable, and I'm guessing because my phone doesn't pass SafetyNet.
I use a lot of root apps and Xposed modules to customize the phone and disable bloat.
Have any of you just bit the bullet and upgraded to an Oreo ROM without Root? What are your workarounds for not having Root? I've used BK Disabler before. Are there other Knox apps to do other Root-like functions?
I'm definitely thinking about jumping to a different phone, but I think my only option for a fully rootable phone on Sprint is getting a Pixel 3 right from Google...
Without root and Titanium Backup, what are you using to backup and restore app data?
ANY thoughts on the dilemma would be great.

Logic would suggest to weigh the options. Which do you need more,The apps that wont work,Or root.
If you need the said app update. If you need root more stay rooted Til a better device comes along

I use Adhell 3 to disable bloat and block ads. Apart from that, I also have GoodLock and various other customization apps from the Galaxy Store. I don't really feel the need for root anymore.
Used to use a Oneplus 2 before this. Used several ROMs, even developed for the phone. Felt the need to root because Oxygen OS at that point didn't offer much.
But with Touchwiz, I already have all the features I need.
I have been rooting all my Android phones since old Samsung s2.
But for s8, i have been using for 1.5 years without rooting. There are a lot of alternative apps around for non root s8.
The upside is able to use apps that pass safety net etc.
The only downside is unable to use twrp backup. But since its not root, its quite safe and stable. Will not get bootloop and unable to boot into phone etc.
I may flash to BQL1 to trial-run without root.
Considered jumping to a Pixel 3, but as far as hardware goes, it looks a bit inferior to the S8.
