[Q] Help with EKEN T01a

I recently purchased an EKEN T01a and i can't get the thing to respond. While i was installing apps i tried to change the dpi settings from 120 to 150 and now the pop up message i receive on the screen says "Unfortunately, the launcher has stopped". I tried looking for firmware on the net to do a wipe but i have found nothing. If anyone can help i would appreciate it thanks.

*** UPDATE 09 May 2012 ***
Finally EKEN has added the links for the T01, T02 and T10 firmwares to his website. They're compatible with T01a T02a and T10a too.

***********************
EKEN T01A Stock ICS Firmware 4.0.3 (v0.8.1 - 2012-02-24)
Finally found, after a long ride : I attach the necessary software and instruction found over the net to flash it. In the firmware file there are further instructions and links, but this is the correct procedure from futeko dot com
Firmware details:
File Name: sun4i_crane_t01a_0.8.1_20120224.rar
Type: Firmware
Manufacturer: Eken
Tablet Name: sun4i_crane_t01a_0.8.1_20120224
Model Number: T01A T01
CPU Name & Model: Allwinner A10
Firmware Date: 2012-02-24
OS Name: ICS
OS Version Number: 4.0.3
Firmware Type: Stock
Flashing Instructions:
Q: How to flash firmware (also known as a 'ROM') on the Eken T01 and T10 (and T01A)?
A: This is a fiddly process so some perseverance might be required. It will work in the end. From user reports it seems to work most smoothly on the 32bit version of Windows XP. Instructions:
- Firmware must be flashed using a Windows application called Livesuit. Download it from the link below.
- Once downloaded, and before attaching your tablet to your PC, run the file 'LiveSuitPack_version_1.09_20111101.exe' from within the Livesuit folder. This should install a new device on your system (VID_1f3a_PID_efe8). This device may show with an exclamation mark in Windows Device Manager, this doesn't matter and can be ignored.
- Now download the firmware image you want to install. Firmwares are linked to in the downloads section to the left. After decompressing the archive you will end up with a .img file (e.g. 'sun4i_crane_t01a_0.8.1_20120224.img'). This is the firmware/ROM image that you are going to flash (or copy) to the tablet.
- Without attaching your tablet to your PC run 'LiveSuit.exe' from within the Livesuit folder. You should get an application with 6 icons.
- You will be asked if you want to be guided through the process, select no.
- Click on the leftmost icon (a cube), browse to your downloaded firmware image, and select it.
- Now attach your tablet to your PC by USB cable whilst holding down the volume+ button on the top. Straight after attaching the cable, and whilst still holding down the volume+ button, start pressing the tablet power button repeatedly. This (slightly frenzied) procedure puts the tablet into update mode.
- After a few seconds you will be asked if you want to perform a forced firmware update. Select yes. You will be asked if you're sure. Select yes.
- The update will start. You can release volume+ at this point.
- The update should take approx 3 minutes to complete. You will see a % complete progress bar during the process and will get a dialog saying OK when it's done.
- Turn your tablet on and you will have the new firmware.

ROOT Instructions & Script (windows):
PELASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEED!!!
DOWNLOAD: Mediafire.com - BalTac-EKEN-RootScript
Instructions and script are fully based on the work of MrTasselhof for Ainol Novo 7 Advanced, from slatedroid forum. My only work was to adapt (I've deleted the uneeded part of the code from the .BAT file) and test the script for EKEN T01a Tablet. Maybe it just work even for other eken devices. Please feedback.
MrTasselhof said:
This is a straightforward script.
It's sole purpose is to get your device rooted and provide the tools to verify it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**IMPORTANT PRE-CHECK LIST**
Connect your tablet using the OTG port (normal procedure)
- YOU MUST USE THE INCLUDED USB CABLE
Make sure USB Debugging is ENABLED
- Settings --> Applications --> Development --> USB debugging (Green Checkmark)
Make sure to check Device Manager to ensure that there aren't any devices with a yellow exclamation mark.(WARNING: the eken tablet HAVE one of the drivers with an exclamation mark: please, just ignore it )
- Right Click on My Computer --> Manage Device --> Device Manager
Here is a link to a driver package I created... (I didn't need to use them. Drivers suited with LiveSuitPack are enough, but just in case...)
- Download Link: Mediafire.com - Android USB Multiple Driver Pack
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions:
Extract the folder to ANY location you wish. (it is self contained)
Run !RUN-ME-BalTac-RootScript.bat
You will be given the following prompt:
Make sure to enable USB Debugging on the tablet
- Settings -) Applications -) Development -) USB debugging (green checkmark)
'
1. Check Tablet Connection
2. Verify Tablet is ROOT Capable (with this script)
3. Run ROOT Script
'
4. Quit
'
Choose Option (1 thru 4):
Option 3 Performs the actual ROOT process.
- It also installs the following programs: (don't worry if they are already installed)
* Superuser
* Root Checker
* Root Explorer
* Busybox
Watch the magic happen
Enjoy!

EDIT.:Zero Size Internal Storage Problem and the step taken to fix it.
(source.:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29800946&postcount=78 )
Got the same problem. After reset, storage size become Zer0!. Fixed it by doing this:
1. Put a copy of term.apk into my memory card.
2. Run file manager and locate term.afk, run it to install.
3. Open terminal emulator and got nice prompt. Alas don't get the sharp prompt (#)
***ROAD BLOCK*** Need to root the tablet first.
4. Grab Tesselhof script (Tasselhof - Root, Market, Build.Prop, & Tweaks Script - AllWinner A10)
5. Install PdaNetA350.exe just to be sure that the tablet connect....
6. Run Tesselhof. Da*n, did not work 100%. Continue with option 2,3,4,5 in Tesselhof. Reboot the tablet.
7. Rerun Tesselhof. Option 2,3,4,5 again! Success!!
8. Reinstall term.afk and running it...
9. Execute the god command "su" !! Yes.... got the sharp prompt! Hehe (#)
10. Typing this one liner to fix Zero size storage
cp /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin
Pressing enter and rebooting the tablet.
FIXED!!

Maybe you are using the wrong firmware. this one is intended for EKEN MID T01A 7". Yours is the 10" tablet EKEN MID T10. But don't worry: There is a link that you can find in the guide that come with the previous firmware. Is an eken FTP space where are stored the latest firmware for T01A, T02A and T10A (and I suppose they are even compatible for T01, T02 and T10). Let's have a try. If this one won't work I'll try to find the specific T10 firm.

Hello, just wondering if the 7" you mentioned firmware for in this post is the same as the MID-T01a available at geeks.com, amazon, ect
Here is one picture. I just searched for MID-T01A and found this post.

Trying to figure out if there is any community/manufacturer support for this tablet, and if it is worth purchasing.

I think that Is the same device, but for now I haven't find any community that give an exaustive support to the tablet. There is something compatible in communities that develop for Ainol tablets, like slatedroid forum (some app and scripts. but don't use Ainol custom firmwares: they aren't compatible and will brick your device!!!). If you only need to ROOT that tablet you can try this using only the first 3 options (others might cause the tablet stop working or give some error):

If this external link is not allowed, I ask the moderators to warn me and I will report here the entire guide and the necessary files.

Hi,
Would you happen to be able to find T02's firmware? Eken's official FTP is extremely slow and impossible to download from.
T01's firmware doesn't work

I've found this one (I can't try it so I'm not sure if it's a true T02 Fw): EKEN T02 Firmware 2012/04/07 - DOWNLOAD
But the download manager say to me that is an FTP transaction and the download is extremely slow (ETA: about 2 hours). If you want I can download it and reup in my mediafire account.

[Cube U9GT2/Window N90/Visture V2/Easypad 970] Guides & Tips

This thread is for guides and tips related to Cube U9GT2, Window N90, Visture V2, and Easypad 970.
Questions: For further questions some very nice threads already exist in: XDA (EN), SlateDroid (EN), Chinamobiles (DE), 4PDA (RU), and Moage (CN).
Everyone is welcome to post here their own guides/tips, even when already similar topics exist. Unfortunately often guides and tips vanish in endless thread pages. Here is a suitable place to bundle all these in one place together and link them in needed user posts.
Guides & Tips - How to:
01. Use the storage of my device (#2)
02. Root (#3)
03. Flash a Firmware (#4)
04. Use Moage's ROMs (#5)
05. Make Gameloft Games visible/installable (#6)
06. Use 3G (#32 by Darkjesus)
07. Stabilize my WiFi (#34)
08. Use Ad-hoc WiFi (extLink.01; extLink.02 + special wpa_supplicant)
09. Customize ROMs (extLink.01 + extLink.02)
10. Use a different charger (extLink)
11. Fix the "Google Play Store" (extLink)
12. Use CIFS (extLink)
13. Improve speaker quality + volume (#35)
14. Install GApps correctly (#36)
15. Do Screenshots in ICS without root (#37)
16. Tweak build.prop (extLink)
17. Unpack an IMG
18. Open the Tablet
19. Make Bluetooth working

(01) How to: Use the storage of my device
1. Turn tablet (on), and switch debugging (off)
-> 2.3.1 Settings/Applications/Development -> USB-debugging
-> 4.0.3 Settings/Developer options -> USB-debugging
2. Connect device with PC (Win7) and use tablet's upper microUSB port (not OTG)
3. Windows will now try to install drivers, this will last ~20sec, mostly Win7 will succeed
-> if not then download "RK2918-USB-Drivers" and direct Win7 to those drivers; sometimes it will happen that windows cannot handle Intel drivers -> then choose AMD drivers
-> the result should be, e.g.:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

(2) How to: Root
I. Preparation, "ADB Driver" installation:
1. Turn tablet (on), and switch debugging (on)
-> 2.3.1 Settings/Applications/Development -> USB-debugging
-> 4.0.3 Settings/Developer options -> USB-debugging
2. Connect device with PC (Win7) and use tablet's upper microUSB port (not OTG).
3. Windows will now try to install drivers, but Win7 will not succeed - if already drivers are installed (yellow triangle) remove them completely.
4. Open device manager (start/control panel/device manager) and click on your tablet-device name (e.g. Cube) and choose "update driver".
5. Now select: Browse my Computer -> Let me pick -> All Devices -> Have Disk.
6. Download and unzip "ADB-Drivers" then navigate (see step 5.) to "android_winusb.inf"; next: choose "Android ADB Interface". ADB Drivers will now be installed.
II. Root
1. Download suitable root software:
a) 2.3.1: GingerBreak-v1.20.apk, SuperOneClick 1.7,
b) 4.0.3: SuperOneClick 2.3.1.0 (changed CN), SuperOneClick 2.3.3 (Changed by Verdeler).
2. Start GingerBreak.apk on tablet or SuperOneClick.exe on PC (run as administrator).
3. Click "root" within SuperOneClick -> done.

(03) How to: Flash a Firmware
I. Preparation
1. Choose and download an IMG (Firmware):
a) StockROM: Cube U9GT 2, Window N90, Visture V2, Easypad 970.
b) CustomROM: XDA (wackym), SlateDroid (s1eepy), SlateDroid (db260179), Moage (磨叽哥), FlashMyAndroid (prox32).
2. If necessary download "RKBatchTool".
3. Extra Driver shouldn't be needed, Win7 will recognize the device -> therefore don't install manually ADB-, or USB-Driver.
4. Charge Tablet to >70%
II. Flash
1. Turn tablet (off) and disconnect every cable and charger.
2. Start on PC "RKBatchTool.exe" and choose under the item "FW Path" an IMG (see I. Preparation).
3. Now press Volume (-) on tablet -> keep pressing and connect at the same time the tablet (upper microUSB port, not OTG) with PC -> as soon as you hear the PC is successfully connected or you see in RKBatchTool under "Connected Devices" a green light, then you can stop pressing Volume (-) and the tablet should be recognized from "RKBatchTool".
4. Click in RKBatchTool "Restore" (not Upgrade) and the flash process should begin; the first-time boot will last longer than normally - you can close RKBatchTool and disconnect the USB cable as soon as the tablet is booted.
good luck

(04) How to: Use Moage's ROMs
I. Preparation:
1. Download Moage's ROM and unzip: Link
2. Charge Tablet to >70%
3. Switch tablet (off) and disconnect every cable and charger
II. Flash Moage's ROM:
1. Moage's FlashTools:
a) Moage 4.3.5: Open "MoageRomFlash.exe" and choose how much space for applications you would like to have, don't get confused from chinese you will nevertheless see numbers those are important -> click the number you like most, after this the "MoageRKtool.exe" will start automatically
b) Moage x.x.x: when there is no "MoageRomFlash.exe" then start "MoageRKtool.exe" and go on with step 2.
2. Now press Volume (-) on tablet -> keep pressing and connect at the same time the tablet (upper microUSB port, not OTG) with PC -> as soon as you hear the PC is successfully connected or you see in MoageRKtool "Found RKAndroid...", then you can stop pressing Volume (-) and the tablet should be recognized from "RKBatchTool".
3. In "MoageRKtool" select all items except "Backup" and manually link to those files
=> then click at first "EraseIDB" (red circle), after that: click "Run"(blue circle) -> even when it is in chinese the buttons order will be the same.
4. Wait until the device is booted, then remove USB cable and close FlashTools.
Done.
Extra-Feature:
=> If your tablet wont boot anymore, and you don't want to lose your data and settings, then do this to fix the boot problem:
1. Start "MoageRKtool.exe" and select: "Loader", "Parameter", "Boot" and "System"
2. Click "Run" (don't click EraseIDB). Now it will replace just some important system files and the rest will remain.

(05) How to: Make Gameloft Games visible/installable
Two ways:
1. Modify manually "build.prop" /System (source):
=> you need to change 3 things:
ro.product.model=GT-P1000
ro.product.device=GT-P1000
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
2. Exchange the build.prop:
=> download an already modified "build.prop", e.g. source; then rename in "build.prop" and exchange the original "build.prop" in "/System" at tablet -> before that it would be wise to backup the original file
Hint: after changing or switching build.prop clear data from "Google Service Framework" and "Google Play Storage" then reboot
The result will be:
Extra Information: Optimizing build.prop

superb!!! Million Thanks..
Now i can try on moage rom now..

Waiting for the next tutorials!!!
Superb!

Upgrade only install the firmware, restore delete the last version and install the new.
Restore is a better option.

This thread is super helpful. I have an oem u9gt2 on the way and was looking for a straightforward guide. Kinda curious what rom everyone is running?
From reading around the net it seems wackym's is popular as well as Visture android 2.3 stock rom.

I have tried the stock v1.5 gingerbread with the Honeycomb ui from the Cube website and found it very fast and stable, also tried the Wackym v1.08 Ics and found that excellent, not quite as nippy but still excellent, I changed the built in Ics launcher for Apex launcher on the market and this improved the speed of the functionality, really well with tons of options!. Unfortunately on the Wackym firmware the flash is flaky with things like iPlayer etc but that is not down to him, as flash on Ics is not officially supported even if on the market the latest version states support for Android 4 devices. I am sure this will be fixed in the coming months though.

What is the reason for using the restore button rather than the upgrade Button? I have used the upgrade on two firmwares. Thank You

The "upgrade" button works just sometimes, e.g. if you upgrade from one Easypad ROM to another. But if you switch to a different ROM, then the "upgrade" button often doesn't work anymore. With "restore" you have a clean flash procedure. It can also be useful, for new devices or after flashing a new ROM, to do a "factory data reset" (in 2.3.1 under settings/private; 4.0.3 settings/Backup&reset). This will sometimes stabilize the firmware and prevent unexpected failures or bugs.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I am downloading this one "U9GT 2固件V1.05（安卓2.3系统固件）" from cube's website. I assume this is the gingerbread version you were referring to.
The honeycomb ui is included in the rom or is that something you added? Apologies if it's a stupid question as this will be my first android tablet.
Seems a few people are sticking with gingerbread until the bugs are worked out of ICS. I recall reading that someone thought graphics looked clearer or sharper with ICS on the u9gt2...wondering if this was just the user's imagination or if there is some logic behind this.

Yes that 's the Gingerbread version and the honeycomb ui is built in, however I have installed Go Launcher Ex on the Gingerbread Rom makes it really quick. That replaces the honeycomb launcher but you still get all the other honeycomb parts like the bottom taskbar etc. Try it you won't regret it. As for the graphics looking better under Ics maybe the menus look clearer etc due to the new fonts but that is about it. The excellent IPs screen makes is look superb on Gingerbread and Ics.

Quote:
OPTIONAL STEP
Switch off the screensaver and other power saving features on the PC and also set the screen timeout delay on the phone to 30 minutes.(Settings/Display/Screen Timeout)
2. Remove the screen lock
3. Charge the phone to the maximum.
4. Enable USB Debugging on Phone (Settings/Applications/Development).
5. Detach all other peripherals from your PC. Exit all running applications on your PC especially other PC suites if any. Also exit running programs from the notification bar on the desktop. (Also uninstall Nokia or other phone drivers & microsoft visual ++ runtime environments - not an essential step.)
6.[IMPORTANT] Disable 'LGE Virtual Modem' in PC's Device Manager. (In your Windows operating system, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Right click on LGE Virtual Modem and click Disable.)
If this step is not followed the Phone will get bricked!
7. Move all the apps from the SD Card to phone memory and then Unmount the SD card from the phone (Settings/SDcard & Phone Storage) so as to remove it (physically) from the phone.
8. Open the phones back cover and remove the SD Card.
9. Download KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z onto your PC and extract it to a folder. Available HERE.Direct Download Link. (MD5 of 7zip file - 813A28BE9182AB604A1D43E745CE7AD7)
10. Run the msxml.msi file and complete the installation.
11. Connect the phone to PC with USB Cable.( If you are using a desktop PC, make sure you use USB ports that are in the back of your PC, avoid the front ports.)
12. Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe from the extracted folder.
13. Chose TYPE as 3GQCT & Phone Mode as DIAG.
14. In the 'KDZ file' space, browse for the firmware you want to install.
15. Press the 'Launch software update' button.
16. The firmware flashing process is now underway.
If all goes well, in 5-10 minutes the phone will be flashed with the new firmware.
The phone takes about 2 or more whole minutes in that state before booting up fully and entering the home screen. Wait till phone reboots by itself ( which it might not) so wait for a while before manually switching it on.
17. After booting up fully, detach the phone from the pc.

LG has updated the ROM for this phone to Ver: Android v2.3.6 - LGC800G-V10k-AUG-24-2012) V10K_00.kdz. I have posted all the links for all Carriers of this phone.

Thanks. Should mention to others this will replace your ClockWorkMod so reinstall it that after flashing to this firmware.

Anyways, I managed to get my phone working again by flashing it via USB while it was turned off showing the battery charging screen; so if all else fails anyone is able to recover using KDZ on that screen.

id like to give a big thanks to all you guys on this one and like to add a note for any won with the same issue i had ... if you use the lg update tool and it crashes it will lock you on the s/w update screen ... if this happens use the instructions above and dont panic ... 15 min i was back up and laphing so major credit to all involved ....can we now get some custome striped down roms for this device so we can run unbuntu as a full replacment for android ..if any one is up to doing that please email me thanks

I had a problem, I had flashed the wrong recovery on my phone, that of the lg optimus 2x, and it had bricked my phone and I was stuck with a paperweight, but then I learned of the S/W button combination-- hold volume up, E on the keyboard and the power button. the phone booted into software upgrade mode, and with this utility I was able to flash a stock rom back into the phone, which also replaced the incorrect recovery.
The only thing that has to be changed is that you need to use the CS_EMERGENCY mode instead of DIAG, or else it won't work.
so if you ever find yourself in that situation, grab your carrier's stock rom and do what I did. I have a working phone after over two months of not being able to use it thanks to that.

Whats up guys
Anyone have a re up of the stock virgin mobile firmware?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know where I can get a copy of the ABWADG firmware? Also, how do I confirm that my phone is in fact ABWADG, as far as I know it was bought through Sasktel but I'm not 100% sure.

Found it, enter your IEMI here: http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=Canada and you'll get a download link to the .kdz file.

wtb better instructions.
yeah dude. I was thinking the instructions weren't very well explained.
You need to give some indication as to which version is appropriate to download.
Your initial instructions are pretty vague and leave one guessing/assuming to upload the latest version of the update. Which softbricks the CFRooted S5s (sprint).
....
ALso there are issues with both of the ADB downloads you recommend. the SDK has issues with path length on install. The other installs fine but in windows there is no path 'ie e:\'
so .... how to unbrick

Unbrick with odin.
The downloads are named after the version of the rom you are on.
I didn't really recommend those adb, other people did so I provided the link.
Theres video tutorials floating around, not done by me. FWIW, I barely have time to make this mod and I don't even use the stock roms anymore, so I dont really have the time to hold peoples hands. You should do research before you flash anything on any phone.
If you wanna write something up that you feel would make it easier for an inexperienced person to understand, feel free to shoot me a link and I will include it in OP. Until then you are the first person I have heard of to softbrick, I am assuming this is because you flashed the wrong version. This which version do I flash question has been asked several times in the thread, so the answer is there, but to recap:
The last three letters of your rom version should match the three letter code on the download file.
Use the version tagged odex for odexed roms, and deodex for deodexed roms.
The first versions modify your APNs, they should work on any version of the stock rom, however it is unreliable and will need to be reflashed after a PRL update.
Flash the zip from recovery.
I will update the OP to have less directions since they seem to have mislead you, my apologies.

Native Hotspot S5 NE5
Hey I just flashed the 1.4 version for NE5 for the Sprint version of the S5.
My issue is that there is no toggle in the notification pull down. Is there anyway I can add it?
Thanks

Yes there is. I don't know how, but search for variations of "how to add toggles"

Please help
I have a Sprint Note 3 running on 4.4.4 with a Build Number ending with NH7. Does anyone know of a way to get the hotspot to work with this build? Any help would GREATLY BE APPRECIATED!

Have you tried Galaxy tools? It works on the S5 with 4.4.4. It is not in the play store, search for it on XDA and install.

No, I haven't used galaxy tools yet. I will give it a try now. Thanks for trying to help man, I appreciate it.

Sprint detailed procedure to unlock your native hotspot?
I have a Sprint Galaxy S5 version 4.4.2, NE5 type stock and want to perform the unlock your native hotspot routine by miked63017.
I have completed his step 1 under prerequisites and the root went fine I think. I am a little concerned since I am a first time rooter and pretty much a
Nooby to the process. I am a little concerned about step 2 and beyond:
Can I use the TWRP from the playstore for this custom recovery?
Can i make a backup with TWRP also or Titanium backup?
Would the .zip be unlockHotspot-1.4-NE5-ODEX.zip and would I flash it with ODIN?
Here is the process as best I can tell from the XDA posts. The asterisks are my notes :
NOTE---
This has been tested by a few people in the original thread with success, your mileage may vary. As always, you are responsible for your phone, and it's warranty.
--PREREQUISITES--
1 Your phone must be rooted, I have followed the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2696537
Check your device model ! Settings -> About device -> Model number. See the third post for exact supported model numbers. If your device is a totally different model, it will not work (may even brick) ! NE5***************
CF-Root is the root for "rooting beginners" and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root.
Donate
CF-Root has been available for many devices (Galaxy S1, S2, S3, S4, Galaxy Note, Note2, Note3, dozens of Tab models, etc!) and has clocked over 22.5 million downloads. This is not even counting custom ROMs that already include it. Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...
What's installed
- SuperSU binary and APK
- Stock recovery
Installation and usage
Flash the CF-Auto-Root package as PDA in ODIN (details on how to do that are in next post), and your device should reboot into a modified recovery (signified by a large red Android logo) and it will install SuperSU for you and restore the stock recovery, and reboot back into Android.
If you don't get to the red Android logo, boot into recovery manually ("adb reboot recovery", or boot while holding Power+VolUp+Home).
Using this root increases your flash counter and trips the KNOX warranty flag!
Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.
CF-Auto-Root homepage

CF-Auto-Root main thread
[CENTRAL] CF-Auto-Root
ODIN Installation (detailed)
Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it. Notice the 30 second comment above? For experienced users, the entire process indeed takes only 30 seconds!

2 You must have a custom recovery installed, I have used the one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2697762

So here is the step by step:
1. Make a backup------with the above TWRP from play store? *****************
2. Download the appropriate zip for you rom version. The three letter code in the filename should match the last three letters of your rom version. Odex version is for odexed roms, deodex version for deodexed roms.
*********File Type: zip unlockHotspot-1.4-NE5-ODEX.zip ************
3. Flash the zip and reboot. ****** Using ODIN? *****************
Thanks to @Scolias for jumping on the zip creation so fast, and being the first one to test the modification (other than me)
**UPDATE***
For the original mod version:
If you update your PRL you will need to reflash and reboot:
Thanks for the heads up @Y.G.
**UPDATE 2***
Added Icon in Notification panel, Thanks @eyecon82 for providing the SQL data for Notification panel. Also added some SQL to try to enable bluetooth and usb tethering, let me know how they work. Download and flash version 1.2 for these updates.
***Update 3***
Since it has already been pulled into a DeOdex for our phone, and the same modification used on the s3 KitKat I figured I would post the services.jar files here too. You need to be on DeOdex for these to work, and note that the latest DeOdex available for our Sprint S5 from @sleshepic already has this built in. These are mostly just for reference, and so all the hotspot downloads are in one easy to find place.
ND2 Services.jar - http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1398719510
NCB Services.jar - http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...9&d=1398822075
Rename the file to Services.jar for your baseband version, backup your old copy and put the new one in. Using the Services.jar survives PRL updates and does not require the usage of the previous mods.
If anyone needs it I can post the changes in the smali files here, its pretty simple though using grep in tethering.smali, it involves setting a var to 0x0 from 0x1, in the tethering.smali by the dun_required string.
***Update 4***
Big thanks to @rocket321 for helping me out with odexing. I have made a flashable zip that uses services.jar instead of modifying the APN. Flashing the new version will remove all APN modifications from the previous versions and install the new services,jar for odex or de-odex versions. Currently I have only built for ND2 roms, if there is any need for NCB let me know and I will work on it. New files attached below, just flash from recovery and tether . Enjoy and if this helps you please give thanks, and don't forget to thank @rocket321 as well.
Anybody making ROMs feel free to incorporate the files below, otherwise they should be able to be flashed right on top of the rom, assuming there are no modifications to the services.jar file in the desired ROM..
***Update 5***
Added NCB zips, built jars and odexes using my new tool modStudio
***Update 6***
Added NE5 versions to downloads, big thanks to @crawrj and @townsenk for making them
***Update 7***
Added NI3 versions, need testing the size of the ODEX package has shrunk and I am not sure why. Please let me know if you guys notice anything weird, so far so good for me but YMMV. Added back new dynamic way of adding to the notification panel, again let me know how this works out.
***Update 8***
Added new NI3 versions for testing, make a backup before testing JIC
***Update 9***
Cleaned up OP a little

flashing NI3 appears to disable private mode
new poster, but def been checking this forum out for a while. ive been doing a fair amount of testing to solve my private mode not working issue. i flashed stock rom NI3 using Odin one-click mentioned in the forum, added philz and CFroot and tested root. all is well and private mode is still working.
after flashing the unlockHotspot-1.6-NI3-ODEX.zip mod, private mode is broken. i ran a nandroid back to before flashing the NI3 zip, and all is well. i then decided to install the unlockHotspot-1.6-NI3-ODEX.zip mod again to test my theory, same results...private mode not functional.
i did a thread search and did not see this mentioned previously. just a warning for all those out there that do use private mode and want wifi tether functionality.
also is anyone aware of a workaround?
Thanks!

Anybody available to test my new hotspot project? PM me with your email address if you are interested, let me know what build you are on and what device, this should work for any sprint device but I have only tested on my SM-G900P running the NKD Lollipop build.
Forgot to mention, you must be rooted.
Started thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...apps/app-gs5-native-hotspot-unlocker-t2980905

What should I do or is this mod not for me? Thanks for your help!
