My S5 is running OG5 and FoxFi works just fine for WiFi tethering.
I still have VZW Unlimited Data, so having a working hotspot is not a given (i.e. not automatically included with my data plan).
Recently, my phone started prompting me to install an update. I have not allowed it yet.
Is that the OK3 build I see references to? Or is there some newer firmware out there?
Whatever it is, does anyone know if FoxFi still works with it?
I definitely do not want to let my firmware update and lose my ability to run a hotspot!
If nobody knows about FoxFi, can you at least confirm that the build I'm being prompted to accept would be OK3? Other than FoxFi, is there any reason to either want it or specifically not want it? If it seems to be okay and I just need confirmation on FoxFi, I will email the developer (once I know for sure what build I need to ask about).
Thanks for any info.

Thanks! I let my phone update. I'm now on OK3 and FoxFi is working just fine. I'm posting this from a laptop connected to my FoxFi'ed hotspot. And, for the record, I am not rooted.

Well, I don't see why previous updates broke FoxFi, either.... But they did. The developer has always come out with an update to fix it. But, I don't want to be in a position where I have upgraded and can't use my hotspot until the dev fixes something. The S5 is 2 generations old now. It wouldn't surprise me if the dev stops supporting it soon.

I want to use Nougat on my HTC 10. I have the verizon version of the phone, but don't mind converting to any other version if necessary (or just easier) to move to Nougat.
I've been reading for days, but can't find any solid, complete information on how to do this, or really if even possible. I've found lots of pieces of the puzzle, but nothing that lists the steps, or requirements for making this work.
If you know how to get a Verizon phone working on Nougat firmware and have a working phone and data, I'd love to know EXACTLY how you managed to do so. If I can't have advanced calling right now, that's okay with me, but I do need a working phone and data at a minimum.
I've installed PMEUHL_2.28.401.9 firmware and LeeDroid_ROM_Nougat_HTC10_R21, but had to change the phone to SuperCID 1111111 to get it to install. I also had to change the firmware packages' android.txt file to have the MID match the phone (MID2PS650000).
I have everything running, but have no phone or data, so I'm stuck with wifi only at this point.
I don't mind if I have to wipe the phone again to get it working (I'd rather not), so long as I can use the phone on Verizon again.
Is it possible I just need to flash the verizon radio at this point, or do I just need to start from scratch?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Have you tried formatting data?
In TWRP > wipe > format data > (type) yes
(do at own risk, it won't hurt anything, just will wipe your internal. you ARE warned)
------------------
Side note, Advanced Calling only works on one ROM, and that is @santod040 amazing port found here
I run SuperCID all the time, It's suggested to do 22222222 instead of 11111111 but not a biggie at all.
I run Verizon firmware with multirom. I have my stock ROM as primary (this is a must) and then I can flash any N ROM as a secondary.
I have ICE N ROM, Leedroid N ROM, Santods ROM, AOKP MM and CM 14.1 all loaded up and working great with data.
----------------
As for what you want,

For NuSense ROM do we still need to install with data unencrypted? I assume so because I don't think TWRP is updated for Android N. Thanks.
I'm on the new viper 4.3.1 which is N based without upgrading firmware. everything working pretty well and has great tweaks and theming. Give it a shot.
wifi calling and video calling seem to be bugged but the advanced calling is active for hd voice
id do it this way until Verizon updates, itll be soon.
Might just stay on MM, Idk I'm torn. If NuSense has VZW features working bug free I'll give that a shot

On the Downloads tab of the HTC 10 TWRP thread, there is an unofficial version of TWRP v3.0.2.7 which supports Nougat firmware. If you're still on Marshmallow firmware and use a Nougat ROM on it, you still might want to use the official TWRP v3.0.2.6.

Just because the LTE icon is there doesn't mean it's working. Try making a call and browsing the play store.

When I was running N I couldn't browse the web and be on a phone call simultaneously. Also, HD calling and video calling did work for me. This was on LeeDroid N and I also tried Viper 2.4.0 with the same results.
Viper Nougat 4.x.x works perfectly fine on VZW Marshmallow firmware, except no advanced calling (wifi calling and VoIP).
Make sure to choose 6.0.1 firmware in the last option of Aroma to have fingerprint scanner working, as well as mobile data. (if you are on MM firmware!!) ROM does NOT install firmware.

Advanced calling is bugged on HTC's end, and will be until either an incremental official update or until a fix is found. TL: DR it will be bugged in all roms based of HTC N.

But advanced calling works fine on test N ROMs on the Verizon 10, so you'll just have to wait for the OTA to drop.

I think you're probably running a custom Rom and seeing the notification for US Unlocked Nougat.
It's not a notification from Verizon at all.

Hey guys, I'm stock, rooted, s-off with magisk and I'd like to be on Lee Droid or Viper Nougat with working Magisk and Verizon features. The way I'm reading their guides, it seems I would have to be on Nougat firmware for that. Does that mean I can convert to US Unlocked Nougat with updated firmware, then to Lee Droid or Viper Magisk and pass safety net while having nougat and advanced calling and such?
Thanks guys
I'd love to know the answer to this as well. I don't have many friends using Verizon, so I don't use the Verizon features much. I'm just kind of tired of Verizon being slow with their updates. For some reason I keep being stupid and buying Verizon phones despite the long updates for 4 different phones that have been on Verizon. :/
you guys have to flash the US unlocked RUU and then flash the Verizon radio for it to work. From what I've read you'll have the features you want. But since I haven't personally tried I cannot be 100%. there is guides on how to do this.
IMHO, I would wait for Verizon, it is always best to use your carriers firmware. It wont be much longer even though itll feel like a lifetime.
I'd love to get a confirmation on this as well. I can say however from my own experience that running VZW firmware with viper10 4.x.x ROM that everything works great EXCEPT volte (HD calling/ advanced calling features) I'd like to mention to others who are experimenting as well that I can format data, flash 3.5.0 and have volte back up and running no problem. My theory is the issue lies in the VZW firmware being a MM version. My next step is to flash the nougat RUU, flash the VZW radio, and then the viper nougat ROM. I'll share the results once I get the chance to do everything. Again if anyone can chime in on this method that would be greatly appreciated.

Did you do anything special when you installed the ROM? Could you tell me what steps you took installing it? Just wondering if I'm missing something. I have the latest VZW firmware installed as well. Are you positive that advanced calling is working? I notice that when you make a call the data signal icon will remain on the status bar (unless you go into venom tweaks and change it to anything other than the stock icon, then it will disappear) but there won't be any traffic and I can confirm it by trying to load a web page.

So this is the last intermediate step to getting the extra verizon functions to work? Im assuming once androidkitchen is fixed to set the values properly, we should be able to build it in directly?

That's what it's looking like to me. With some work it is possible to get ROMs working on MM firmware with VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling. Santods rom has had this for a little bit and now with this new information, if one was to say combine both, the outcome is great. But I'll leave that to those more experienced than myself, but it is possible now thanks to all these brilliant minds.
Is the magisk files in the magisk repo?

Even better. Didn't realize that 4.6.0 was out, so I don't know of the change log.
Wasn't bragging by any means also.. Was just stating that it works, and was sure smarter devs would get it soon.
I can confirm that the viper 4.6.0 upgrade does fix volte for vzw devices running mm firmware. The changelog says only working for non magisk version, I suppose that's due to no nougat firmware/RUU released from Verizon yet. If that's a deal breaker your gonna have to wait, otherwise make sure your running the supersu only version. I upgraded from 4.5.0 and it works perfectly. Something I've noticed over the last few months with all the flashing I have done is that if you go into the hidden network info screen, if it shows 3107 for your carrier, it won't work, if it says Verizon wireless as your carrier, then everything is working as it should. Thanks for the update in the rom guys this is GREATLY appreciated for the hard work.
I finally found a Wi-Fi tether fix for the 1625 variant and will most likely work if other variants have the same problem. When I would enable Wi-Fi tethering through the build.prop change I could enable the tethering but then it would break my camera. I found that on magisk in the download section is a Wi-Fi tethering enabler module which actually works. You don't even have to add the build.prop line. Follow the link below to the magisk thread and download the most recent zip file and Flash it then go to the Play Store and download magisk manager, once you do that go into the download section of magisk the menu (in the upper left corner.) Download the Wi-Fi tether enabler module and you are good to go amazingly it works

Try disabling data before use wifi tethering. It's a common problem already discussed here and can be workaround this way.

There's no advice to flash super su on prerooted roms, so be careful what you're flashing that supersu can break some things is already known.

I think you have to go with a custom rom. If I'm not mistaken they patched it after the initial release of pe1. I'm running the stang5liter rom and it works right out of the box.

There is root for nougat. If all you're looking for is tether, there's a debloat s7 rom with tether enabled stock without needing other apps just fine. The root for nougat isn't very stable.
