Hey fellow One Sv users! Sorry for the trouble, but this is annoying me. I have the One Sv (obviously), K2_CL Boost Mobile. I have rooted, i have jelly bean 4.1.2, and Sense 4. i haven't flashed any custom rom on my device. i also have S-OFF. I downloaded "Trev-e's wifi tether for root users", and looked at numerous threads in this forum to try and get it to work. i have backed up and uninstalled TetheringGuard with Titanium Backup. yet no matter what device profile i use, the access point is not seen by laptop or other devices, or it is seen and does not connect, although the Upload and Download speeds increase on the app. So, can someone please attempt to help me figure this out if you have the time? it would be much appreciated. I follow threads on XDA religiously, and have seen the work of @Modding.MyMind and @russellvone . I realize you guys must be tremendously busy trying to get Sense 5 and 4.2.2 to work on our wonderful device, but as soon as you get the time, i would love for anyone to try and get this to work for me. I can test, in return if needed. thank you.
Using a file manager like es file explorer or something similar go to /system/build.prop and copy it to either your internal or external sd card. (you can do it on your pc using notepad++ if you like). Now open it up and look for what is highlighted in green provided in the picture. On yours they will say 0. Change them to 1 like you see in the picture. Once done go to my next post for more instructions...

Now look in the build.prop file what is highlighted in green in this next provided picture. Yours will say true. Change it to false like the picture shows. Once done, go to my next post for further instructions...

Now scroll to the bottom of your build.prop file. Given the picture I provided highlighted in green, add that in to your build.prop file. In the picture you will notice there is an extra line that is blank. Make sure yours has that also. Once complete go to my next post for further instructions....

Once you have completed the above steps go ahead and save the file. Now before proceeding make a backup of your original build.prop file for safe keepings. Now cut the modded build.prop file over to /system/ and allow it to overwrite the original build.prop file (you will need write permissions for the /system to do this or you will be denied). Once it has been overwritten make sure you set the permissions to the modded build.prop file to rw-r-r as seen provided in the picture. Once you have set your permissions go ahead and reboot your device.

Once your device has rebooted go to settings >> more >> mobile network sharing

Oh, I also forgot to mention... If you go to /system/apps there is a system app called tetherguard.apk and .odex.
Rename those by adding an extension.
tetherguard.apk.pka
tetherguard.odex.dexo
You will need to reboot after you do this. Otherwise, your tethering will kick in and out periodically.

i apologise for the inconvenience. @Modding.MyMind . But i have edited the build.prop exactly as you have said, and when i go to use the built it wifi hotspot app from Settings, i try to connect my laptop to the access point and it continously tries to get an internet connection until it eventually fails. i have tried this with both no security and WEP, WPA(TKIP), and WPA2(AES), with no luck. Anything else you suggest, o mighty one? (I mean that with the utmost respect, not sarcasm lol)
usb tether is better in my opinion if just tethering one laptop.
use the Wi-Fi for root.apk

Thank you @russellvone , but when using those settings, my computer doesnt see the hotspot at all, even though the upload and download speeds on the app increase. I don't know what the deal is.
I'm sure you'll just have to type the ssid in manually on your laptop,
then enter password(if you choose one)

I manually entered the SSID on my laptop, windows 8.1. But when it tries to connect, again it shows the message "the network is taking longer than usual" and connects with no internet access and the wifi bars on my laptop get that little yellow warning sign overlay. @russellvone

Someone needs to port this for our LG Optimus One P500.
We all know that Adhoc doesn't work on Android. I've also seen a few thread recommending the use of alternative software on the PC. But one must understand that these software do not support all WiFi adapters and/or need specific OS in order to operate.
If one of our dev can port or make a fresh one, we could vote to make it a "Sticky".
I request you comment your opinion about this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download the "wpa_supplicant" from the link below and replace it with the one in your rom. It should work.

Connectify requires Win7, I'm running WinXP. Also, connectify does not support all adapters.
You can checkout the list of adapters which supports connectify:
http://support.connectify.me/home?page=2
Also, was referring to Ad-Hoc, not "Access Point".
Maybe this can help you as it is xp compatible.

Will definitely give it a try . Anyway, about the "G3 AdHoc Wifi Thread" by "jinxskore", it supports even old onboard laptop adapters which is why we definitely need this. You don't need to download any additional application/software....it will detect the AdHoc like an access point which is absolutely cool. Google could have added that with their updates but God knows why not.
I still think one of our dev should make one. I would if I could but I just started using android a month back and rooted yesterday.

Thanks a ton. Before I proceed, is it possible to just copy it through "Root Explorer" instead of flashing it? This is because I'm on stock 2.2.2 rooted and planning to stick with it for a while.
Also, is there a post dedicated to this particular "supplicant"? Would be really handy if there is one. If not, you could make a sticky
Okay, replaced the wpa_supplicant using "Root Explorer" and YES I can confirm it is working. Thanks a ton.

Here, I was referring to "PC-to-Phone" wireless connection which allows internet sharing from the PC to the Phone (not Phone-to-PC) without using any particular OS (eg. Win7) or PC Software (eg. Connectify).
Take a look at the link in the original thread and you'll get the idea of what the post is all about.

problem
so i am able to see the adhoc network i have at home, but now my issue is i am apparently unable to connect to said network. i click connect and it just dismisses the prompt, but with no change to my connection state. ive rebooted the phone many times, disabled data to ensure nothing is coming from 3g, and tried multiple times, so now im at a loss. im also unaware if this has affected my ability to connect to regular networks as i have none available to test right now. any help would be great tho, im still learning my way around adb but these are the commands i used.
adb remount
adb push system/bin/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
and i was instructed to use this as well but it came with an error
adb shell chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
so i tried again with that chown command after a restart and it went through, and now it still sees the adhoc network, but once i try to connect it just adds it to the bottom of the list saying out of range, and i try again with no results..

I have a Vista machine.
1) First of all I enabled sharing of LAN card
2) Wifi & LAN were not getting enabled at same time (LAN was given auto precedence), issue was resolved by disabling switching of LAN/WLAN in BIOS
3) Installed Connectify
4) configured it to share my LAN connection over WIFI

i have attached the edify ready zip of wpa adhoc

Now whenever i make ad hoc from my lappy the option of 'share your internet connection' is not present at all!
My phone is a LG p500 rooted, android 2.3.3 original LG ROM, and my sdcard is partioned, I've not updated the kernel yet... I have used ES File Explorer since Root Explorer is now paid and I have no credit card.
I've tried a wpa_supplicant from another forum and now my android just keeps rebooting.
I set the airplane mode and could use ES File Explorer again to restore original file, but, anyway, my phone just works in 3G networks... whenever I turn on the wifi, the phone reboots....
What exactly is this wpa_supplicant, what it does? in linux terms?
Anyway, I'm gonna give a try in this one in this thread...

Update:
Meanwhile, i found out why my original wpa_supplicant was not working... it seems it is not a file, as i was wondering, it is a program... and when i gave it permissions to override, i set wr-wr-wr... but as a program, it must have the EXECUTION permission: wrx-wrx-wrx ... now my wi-fi is working again... but, still, not detecting ad-hoc ...

in case of success, i post here!

Update:
ad-hoc now working! \o/
there are many threads about this subject, so, to help others noobs like me, some notes:
1) root your phone
2) download ES File Explorer on market. it's a free (and very good) alternative to Root Explorer
3) its a good idea to turn off wifi now. better, set airplane mode.
4) in the configs of ES File Explorer, if your phone is rooted, there is an option to mount the /system directory with permissions to write/read and another option to see hidden files. check them on.
5) now, you should navigate to /system/bin/wpa_supplicant and save a copy of this file in a secure location.
6) back to system/bin/wpa_supplicant, press long and in its properties, you can change the permissions of the file to rwx-rwx-rwx
7) now you can copy the wpa_supplicant you found in this forum, to that location, and override the original (dont worry, if you have a backup, its reversible)
8) again, check the permissions of the new wpa_supplicant. it must be rwx-rwx-rwx too. (it's a program, the "x" is needed to execute)
9) that all. it now should work. ad-hoc networks are marked with a (*)... in my case, worked perfectly. My phone is a LG P500 android 2.3.3 original rom.
10) in case of any errors, just try another version of wpa_supplicant, there are some versions here. or, just restore your original wpa_supplicant. remember the permissions.
11) if you have the android sdk in your pc, you can run adb shell wpa_supplicant -v and find out your version... v5 or v6 ... in this forum there are modified wpa_supplicant in versions 5 and 6 ... use the correct according to your rom...

I'm wondering if we cant just remove the "Tetherguard" app from the phone via Titanium. I'm not sure if this is what prevents us from tethering, or the app that phones home... but we might have some luck.
Other than that, can we use other apps that will bypass this?

Unfortunately that didnt work, I just tried.
I uninstalled teatherguard via Ti B/u tried to run my tether app, no luck. Tried to run the factory installed hotspot software and instead of getting denied it just wouldnt turn on. If I went into settings I could make changes and try to turn it on however it would just act as if it was loading and eventually do nothing.
At that time I went ahead and installed barnacle and no luck there either, again it wouldnt deny but it wouldnt boot up either.
Hmmmm
Okay so after playing with the app "WiFi Tether for Root Users, Muller, Lemons, Buxton" I finally got it to work. You will need the app downloaded and installed, go to settings, select profile and select "generic ICS" should be the 3rd option, then hit the menu bar again to select re install binary files.
After that turn on the hot spot and connect with your device!
Actually I'm using the HTC app for tethering!! I did this that a saw on a Vivid ROM thread, I think it was on Dark Raider's..... so I don' deserve any credit, I just want to help because I got my One X yesterday, rooted it and tried it and it works perfectly!!
You'll need SQ Lite Editor:
1) Dialer Storage
2) telephony.db
3) carriers
4) 12 Entitlement 310410
you shoud change the value under "apn" from "broadband" to "pta"
5) Please restart your device and you will get it!!
Enjoy my friends!!!
Thank you for that fix!!!!
I search hih and low for the entitlement check in all the databases. I would have never thought to look in telephony.

It's not for the timid.
find the telephony.db in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases copy it to /mnt/sdcard
edit it with the sqlite manager of your choice. I used the firefox extension.
Find line 12 and change it from broadband to pta.
copy it back to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
reboot phone
You'll need root explorer or similar file manager with root access to get to the file and put it back
After that I just added the widget

You're welcome. I googled the file location that took a while. After that it was cake.
the maker of CWM also made a tethering app, it also claims that it's almost non-detectable by carriers since it does it with proxies and works with non-root https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.tether
just another option. If you use ssdroid, this is another tethering method that does it with proxies and also is nondetectable that i am experimenting with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25818971

pretty sure you should use a root file explorer to remove it from system/apps because you have to remove the odex as well as the apk. not saying it will work but it might. since you already removed the apk with titanium you should use a root file explorer and remove the odex file that's probably still there and see if it fixes it. im trying it now and will report back.
I searched like crazy and I can't find what PTA stands for. I know APN stands for Access Point Name. I also found out that PTA is an APN that is only utilized by LTE provisioned accounts.
Phone daTA ???
Personal Telephony Account ???
Phone Terminated Access ???
.....I don't know ....possibilities are endless but the curiosity is driving me nuts. Does anybody know?

Did you guys leave Tetherguard.apk in place when you did this? I get stuck at the "Processing..." toast message when I try to turn the hotspot on now.
I took the update because I boot looped my phone trying to upgrade to a rooted stock version of Kit Kat.
After going to stock I lost root and of course custom recovery. As many have noticed, there is no viable tether app that works with Kit Kat on this device. In doing a search it appears that this is the case with many devices that have gotten Kit Kat.
So I did a search and through several different threads I believe I have found the workaround.
I am new to doing "How-To's" so please forgive me if this is not as professional as others. I am not a developer but have some knowledge of working with various facets of Android. So, here goes:
1. Go to settings--> Tethering and networks ---> Mobile networks --> Access point names
2. Under Access point names, you should have T-Mobile LTE
3. Click menu ---> New APN
4. Name --> Whatever you want
5. APN ---> should say "Not Set" change to "Fast.T-Mobile.com"
6. APN Type--> type "default,supl,mms,dun"
7. APN Protocol --> Be sure it says "IPv4"
8. Menu--> Click save
9. Change APN to the newly created Access Point
10. Download : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi
11. Download the PC app (if needed)
12. (Optional) Download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi.key
Follow instructions on setting up FoxFi which I will not cover here.
I am using this now to type this thread. It is a little buggy but I think that is FoxFi not necessarily this method of tether. I have to at times disable/re-enable the PC app if I lose connection.
I hope this helps folks out there.

Nothing wrong, works perfectly fine. This is an alternative means through a different app providing a means to tether without utilizing a set amount of data provided by carrier.

Yes, speeds are comparable. Only issue, and I believe this is with PDANet/FoxFi is you at times have to reset the connection on the computer. I am running Windows 7 BTW
Wait, is it not easier way to do this:
(if you have root)
1. download SQlite editor app from G.Play (pay for it few bucks)
2. search for com.android.providers.settings and open it
3. open "settings.db" then "global" and under "tether_dun_required" change 1 to 0,
save and turn on tethering without any limits.... Just after reboot you need to set 1 to 0 again to make it work...
I saw it somewhere around and that worked for me!
(Didn't have to change or create new APN.
(This is possible solution for NON-T-mobile users of D801 model, because I'm one..)
That is if you have root. As stated in the OP this is a workaround for those that have lost root via 4.4.2.

I saw it somewhere around and that worked for me!
(Didn't have to change or create new APN.
(This is possible solution for NON-T-mobile users of D801 model, because I'm one..)

This solution IS for system tethering.
If you have rooted device, system tethering works like a charm with this.
Also, this works even if you are not T-mobile user, meaning, you SIM unlock device and you can tether with any SIM on any network in the world...
I guess those guys who updated OTA to 4.4.2 will have to wait root for D801. I saw there is a way to flash KitKat in recovery and immediately superuser.zip after that...
I'll personally go for that way.
Doesn't seem to work for me. Tried using my tablet connected to foxfi hotspot and got the usual T-Mobile error notice that hotspot isn't enabled when I opened the browser.
You can also setup a vpn to connect to and it won't redirect you to the upsell page if you get that issue

Wait, is it not easier way to do this:
(if you have root)
1. download SQlite editor app from G.Play (pay for it few bucks)
2. search for com.android.providers.settings and open it
3. open "settings.db" then "global" and under "tether_dun_required" change 1 to 0,

If this works, you have fixed the only issue that would desire me to install a custom rom
Edit: seems to be working so far, spent half an hour on the tablet and the tmobile app shows no increase in the hotspot data usage
Ok. Let me try and clarify. The step by step in the OP can be used on any ROM but is specifically useful for those like me that took the update to 4.4.2 and lost root.
When using FoxFi app it is recommended that you use USB tether mode. Also you need to hide your activity but I'm not going to cover that. I Will leave that to others.

Then one thing is left to be clarified:
Do I need to use that T-mobile APN? Because that won't work for me or every other user that haven't T-mobile SIM card, obviously...
So, do you think that is safe to assume that method from OP will work for me if I use my regular APN?
I can't speak to other carriers directly. But, the simplest way to tell; if you use the app and it does not "trip" your carrier hotspot app then you should be good.

Neither of these methods worked for me. FoxFi kept telling me that I didn't have an internet connection and editing my com.android.providers.settings database kept reverting to "1" after a reboot. After the latter method, I temporarily lost the functionality of my home button and root went away. I thought I was going to have to flash back to 4.2.2 for second. Thankfully after a few reboots and a restored file all was good.
Edit: OK, I finally got FoxFi working. I guess I didn't read the directions completely. But this didn't stop my tethering data usage from going up.
Make sure you have the settings in FoxFi set to hide internet usage. If you need my settings for that, let me know.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
I have actually tried both methods and get them to work.
Now, I'm on 4.4.2 stock, I didn't took the OTA update - instead I've flashed that 1.4GB KK update trough TWRP, and then superuser.zip. It wasn't easy, especially because I didn't have TWRP installed at all and OTA was downloaded (kinda without my permission, in background, and then I got that notification....)
So, now, I'm on KK stock, rooted, but I'm not sure if I got recovery... and guess what, I don't care...
Both tethering methods work for me, bud since is easier I use system tether.
What I'm trying to say is: Don't take OTA guys if you have root, flash trough recovery your KK and you will keep root, you can tether, you keep your data and apps... It isn't the easiest way but it is the one with most satisfying result..

On your desktop, click on the PDANet icon in the task tray. Click settings, Hide Tether usage, Level 1
That's it. Should work. Again, you may have to disconnect/reconnect from time to time via the tray icon.

This is a tested and working Exchange Security Bypass that I am using on my AT&T LG G3. This mod should work on any variant of LG G3 that is running stock or AOSP ROM's.
All credit goes to the below developer, I was simply looking for a solution to bypass the exchange security policy that required me to have a password or pin on my lockscreen. After several tests using Xposed Framework and other APK's I came across this and it works flawlessly. You can see the developers thread here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965468
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible if:
• You get caught by your employer and are punished in any way
• This bricks, breaks, scratches, dents, misplaces or cracks your phone
• This security bypass leads to any negative outcome.
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I have rooted my phone and used Root Browser to perform the following steps (You can use ADB as well, please follow the guide in the link above).
Instructions:
1. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR STOCK EMAIL (LGEmail.apk & LGEmail.odex) - Copy and place it in another folder incase anything happens and you want to revert.
*Stock LG Email is located in system/priv-app2. After your make a backup, delete the stock LGEmail.apk and LGEmail.odex files
3. Download the files attached to this post and put them in the system/app folder
4. Change the permissions of the two new APK's (Exchange2.apk & Email.apk) to rw-r-r (DON'T FORGET TO DO THIS)
4. Once the 2 files (Exchange2.apk & Email.apk) are placed in your system/app folder, click on them and install
5. That's it...close out of your root explorer, open your new email app and set up your exchange account. :good:
I hope this helps users who are looking for a solution to their exchange security issues like I was. Enjoy
btw u can only do this if u are rooted..for those who arent dont even try it

It should not be necessary to delete the LGE apps, the two can work side by side. And if you are set on disabling the LGE app it is probably better to freeze it with TBU than delete, in case you change your mind later.
Those contemplating the use of this mod should keep in mind that the LGE stock email app is FAR, FAR, FAR more intelligent than the stock KK email app when it comes to autoconfiguring your Exchange connection. In fact I recommend running the LGE stock app first, then going into settings and taking a screenshot to document how the account was configured. You will almost certainly have to enter this information manually into the KK app because it will be unable to figure it out on its own.

Go to data/system and there is a file locksettings.db. Open it in SQL editor. Next tap on locksettings, and u should have a item listed as lockscreen.password_type . Change the value for this to 0. That will change lockscreen to swipe to unlock.....

I'm assuming I'd need to set up exchange first and once it enforces the password lock I'd need to modify the file? I would assume when adding an exchange account it would change change that value.

One odd thing is happening. I have root explorer installed and from that application, I browse to the location where the locksettings.db file lives. However, when I click on the file and the "Complete Action Using" pop up window comes up, I don't see SQL Editor as one of the choices there. Alternatively, I thought I'd just open SQL Editor directly and try to edit the file in there; this does not work since SQL Editor has not been granted root access.
Anyone know if there's a way to grant a specific application root access?

I just wanted to share this with any verizon unlimited users looking for a solution to wireless tethering with the V20. This needs root.
1.) Download modified HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk. This is from the LG G4 post http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/how-to-enable-native-hotspot-unlimited-t3166435
2.) Rename '/system/app/HotspotProvision/HotspotProvision.apk' to 'HotspotProvision.apk.bak' (I used root explorer)
3.) Rename '/system/app/HotspotProvision/oat/arm64/HotspotProvision.odex' to 'HotspotProvision.odex.bak'
4.) Copy the modified HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk and place it into /system/app/HotspotProvision/
5.) Check that the permissions on '/system/app/HotspotProvision/HotspotProvisionVZWG4.apk' is 0644
6.) Reboot phone. Enjoy native hotspot

That darn rooting thing! Just giving it a little while longer before I go that route, letting things settle in now that the VZW variant has success. I've got this thread and file saved for that day tho! Thanks for the info.
Just wanted to share because I spent the day looking for a solution. I had been using foxfi on the note7, but foxfi wifi tethering doesn't work in the v20 nougat. I tried a bunch of alternative apps but none let me get past the subscription check. This mod has been working great, though the rooting processes is still pretty rough.

For what it's worth, the deodexed 996 stock ROM :

I ended up using the Stock 996 unmodded ROM, which has all the tweaks (RootSwitch) and stuff enabled out of the box, and the hotspot works perfectly on that one. Yes, it's not a "Verizon" ROM, but the only issue I've had at all, is that the My Verizon app doesn't work, nor the Visual Voice Mail. I do miss the functionality of both, but for me the hotspot is more important, and I can always check the others manually in a browser or dialing into the VM anyway.
This works fine on my rooted Verizon LG V20. I had the files listed, where they were supposed to be. I also used ES File Explorer to change the permissions to 0644. By default, this file is read-write-execute for everyone. 0644 is much more limited permissions - no one can execute, and only the owner can write to it. See the ES File Explorer link above from CharlzO_2000 that shows you how to set the permissions with ES File Explorer.
I tested the hotspot for a few minutes...worked fine. No carrier nag and good connection to it from an iPad. Thanks, OP, and thanks, CharlzO_2000 for the 0644 links.
Stumped...
So last night I was able to root my v20 (verizon) and it was quite hairy especially when it was vibrating like crazy.... So got over that hump and now I'm stumped at these hotspot activation steps. Could you guys help a brotha out? So renamed the files just fine, but did not understand the section about permissions. None of my root browsers were about to change permissions to 0644, but not sure if its needed. So when I try to fire up the hotspot from the system settings it automatically shuts off and says "activity does not exist on this device". What am I missing?

I use solid explorer you'll want to go into properties to change permissions.
I didn't like that ES File Explored made me install some shopping app before I could get to the hidden system files. Pretty crappy on their part...
Everything works exactly as the OP explained. If you're having trouble with the permissions in ES File Explorer, long press on the new apk file to select it, pick "more" in the bottom right, then select properties. You'll see permissions listed there and you need to pick "change" and change the boxes so that you get "rw- r- r-" (Owner = RW, Group = R, Global = R). Back out, reboot, and you'll be golden.

ES has gone downhill over the past year or two. I still have an older version backed up to avoid their bloat. The send over lan feature doesn't work with nougat though.
If you are fed up with ES, give FX explorer a try. I've found it to be a decent replacement without all the bloat.
Could this method cause the data connection to fail sporadically? While using the hotspot, my phone network stops working. It still shows 4G and it being functional, but the hotspot, my apps, nothing that uses data works. It lasts for a minute or two and then it works again. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue...

Hotspot crashing
Hello, I followed these steps and they worked to enable the wifi hotspot but Everytime I go to try to change the name and password the hotspot crashes.
Anyone have any idea if the hotspot name can be changed manually by editing the buidprop or something else?
Thanks
