Stock Rooted Lollipop (OA6). Whats the easiest way to wifi tether - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey, I have tried several things but havnt got anything to work. I got USB tethering working with foxfi but I would prefer wifi tethering. I have customer recovery and i am rooted. What would you guys suggest. Thanks

There was a thread floating around here somewhere concerning Galaxy Tools. Look that up. It should enable maybe wifi tethering.

Wondering the same thing
My phone was unusable fit like 3 weeks, it started working again so I'm scared to try putting another custom rom on it. I was also recommended not to buy some people on this site that i believe are much smarter than me! I did find out that I'm rooted, also have Philz custom recovery on the phone. So I've been looking for a way to get my Hotspot back, nothing I've tried has worked... any help is greatly appreciated! :good:

youre on OD3 and cannot go back to an earlier version, so unless you can find an app, or when a ROM comes out with it built in, youre kinda stuck. Not sure if youre aware, but the OA6 and OD3 are basebands and the ROMs you have available to you are based upon what baseband youre on, and apparently once you go to OD3, you cant revert

[Q] Galaxy s2, After I install custom ROM, wifi and radio do not turn on

Fairly new to alot of this...please forgive me. I have scoured forums and cannot find an answer to my problem. I got a new S2 about a month ago and I rooted it no prob. When I tried to install CYM 10 (stable and nightlys) It installed but the wifi and radio are shut off. Found a rooted stock and was using it as it was better than what I had stock on the phone but not being able to do it bothered me. After many posts regarding some of these issues with other phones, I have: Updated my prl and anything else I could update successfully, tried again and same problem. I tried turning on, up, down, and everything else I could do with the settings having no wifi or data and went back to the rooted stock. I flashed a radio update sucessfully and then tried messing with Kernals. Dragonics ROM comes with a new kernal flash among many other things and I tried that, installed sucessfully but still not wifi or radio....I even tried flashing older roms and kernals and still nothing.
As of right now I am back to the rooted stock running stupid themes to make me feel like I did something. I cannot find a direct answer to this regarding my model and that I have not tried. This has become an obsession...I HAVE to make this work. Please Help me.
Again, fairly new here and to forums in general and sorry if I did any of this wrong...

[Q] Flashing to stock - phone force closes process com.android.phone, help

Please bare with me since this is the first time having to post for an issue since I usually find an answer on your forums
So here's the situation.
I bought the photon q 4g lte from ebay and it came with the unlocked bootloader.
Needless to say it was with the stock ics and i tried to find a jellybean update because it wasn't taking the ota and ended up going with cyanogen since i had no problems before. However those phones i had before were with sim cards not cdma.
I found out i couldn't update prl or profile manually without having to do something on the pc.
So after searching left and right i found i could use rsl lite (I used 6.1.5) and eventually found the "stock" file from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095536&highlight=rsd+lite
I did the stock jellybean, got it to go through the process and it booted up with no errors.
However, when it boots into the os it pops up a force close on omadmclient_sprint_dataservice and eventually also on the process com.android.phone.
I tried putting it in airplane mode to see if the service error would go away but it didn't work for the process part crashing.
I tried re-flashing, deleting cache in recovery, doing a data/factory reset in recovery and the one time i was able to do a data factory reset within the settings menu.
I could not find anyone that said they had a rom that worked with sprint and updating prl within the rom, if anyone knows of one let me know and i will flash it through rsd.
Otherwise does anyone have an idea of what could be happening because googling the omadmclient part did not pull up anything specific and pulling up the process issue for other phones has not helped me either.
Was this a hacked GSM phone, or are you using it as CDMA?
I've never heard of people having FC issues after flashing a FXZ from RSD. Which one did you flash? Android 4.1.2 - Sprint US - 9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5 (No simlock) ?
If you are on stock, you should be able to update the PRL within the ROM.
I was trying to use it with cdma network through sprint. and yeah that was the file i downloaded, had to remove the getvar to get it working but flashed with no errors after doing that.
As for updating the prl i can barely navigate through the phone, there is no home page loading and the process pop comes up often enough that its hard to go through the settings

Sounds like something went wrong mate. Are you already activated on Sprint? I don't know if that would matter, it might.
I would honestly redownload and redo the RSD process.

I originally tried to activate the phone through cyanogen and then when the rep said he couldnt do it because of the lack of prl to update within the rom we just setup the activation back on the old phone/ That phone is working on the network.
I re-downloaded the file just in case and re-flashed but same problem. The only thing i thought of was maybe updating the radio but since its a stock rom it should work out of the gate. whats also weird is i tried turning wifi on but it didnt work either.
Anychange you know of a rom that works with sprint. I dont care if its stock since i would probably root later again.

Which one are you flashing?
Try another perhaps...? I honestly have never heard of this. It sounds like the phone might be damaged, or the RSD process just did not flash correctly.
I guess I should ask, was the phone modified at all for the GSM SIM slot mod? I wonder if having a non-Sprint SIM in is messing with it... That is just a shot in the dark.

so far the only rom i tried was 10.1 cyanogen and the stock rom for jellybean. However for the stock rom it doesnt let me downgrade to ics with rsd 6.1.5 do you think if i downloaded an old version i could downgrade to a lower stock rom?
Also I honestly had not looked for the cdma roms since most of what i saw was troubleshooting related for this phone but i just saw this rom -AOKP 4.2.2 (Android Open Kang Project) (CDMA&GSM) that you created - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293892
I re-rooted and installed that one and it looks great, just wondered how you got sprint to activate the phone or if you had done it before changing the rom? Also how would the prl and profile be updated.
Lastly the wifi wasn't turning on this time either, it did work initially when i got the phone so that has me stumped.

To downgrade to ICS, you need to remove some additional lines. See this post for more information on that.
However, you should be able to update the PRL on either stock ROM.
I think I said this before, but I will say it again. You need to do PRL updates, activate the phone, and get EVERYTHING working on stock BEFORE you flash ANY custom ROM. This is just standard practice - you don't want to put the cart before the horse! Get the phone working, then play with custom ROM's.

Straight Talk M865c Stock rom needed

Bought this for my daughter.
Rooted it, did a nandroid, then forgot to copy my nandroid to PC before I wiped the sd card for ext..
So, after looking all over the net, I have found Modded stock roms, but none with the update profile feature.
I rooted and flashed a rom before activating, so now I seem to be hosed....
Nothin for cricket seems to work as far as "back to stock". I tried these just in hopes that they might work.. Even if they didnt, Im no worse off. Seems ST is the oddball of the carriers, since you cant get into adb with it, only recovery.
If you have a copy of this rom, or know where to get one, please post. Again, I need Straight Talk Ascend II (M865c) STOCK rom with UPDATE PROFILE option.
Or, if you know a workaround on how to activate while running a modded or custom rom.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] No Data after Flashing Custom Rom

Kind of long, but it's just a difficult explanation, please read and try to help me. Thank you.
Okay, so I have a really weird problem, and I can't seem to fix it at all. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my Sprint Motorola Photon Q, and had no problem with data loss, then I flashed PAC Man Rom, and everything went fine and it flashed but then I noticed that I had no data. No 3G, 4G, or 4G LTE, the phone lost network signal, but what was weird is that I could still receive texts and phone calls.
So, then I read that wiping the Dalvik and the regular cache would fix it, and it didn't. Then, I also tried flashing a different ROM which also didn't fix it. I RSD back to stock firmware and the problem was gone. I even tried rerooting and just installing a different ROM but, it still had the same issue, so I just went back to stock again.
Can someone please help me fix this? I've looked everywhere and I can't really find anything to help me out with this.
Thank you in advance.
Is your provider Sprint as well...?
I'm not sure, data works here on custom ROM's... which version are you flashing? Have you tried CM11?
There's some new device unification going on, the newest KK builds are going to be under the "moto_msm8960" device instead of xt897...
No I haven't tried CM11. Where do I find the IMG for it at?
I have Flash Wireless, which is Sprint prepaid. I have tried CM11 and still nothing. I don't understand what is going on....I'm getting real frustrated because I want to put a good custom ROM on my phone....

Perhaps that's the issue. Did you check your APN settings? Is it using Sprint's network?

[Q] HELP NEEDED - No Service after installing AOSP ROM

Can someone please help me out with an issue I am having...?
I can't seem to get Service after installing an AOSP ROM. I have been messing around with this issue for several days now. When I install a 'NON AOSP' ROM such as 'the 'MOAR ROM' it works fine, but then I go to in recovery (Newest TWRP or Newest Philz Touch) and do all of the required 'Wipes' then Install an AOSP ROM like 'Fusion', 'PAC' or the most recent 'CM11 Nightly' and I do not get any Cellular Service (WiFi is fine) and I have been looking for answers for several days and I can't seem to find any.
Can someone please help me out and let me know what I need to do, or point me to the right direction?
Thanks in advance for any help and/or resources that anyone can provide me with. It will be greatly appreciated.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5 NE5 (Rooted with Knox Tripped :crying

Same was happening to me on philz recovery . so I install trwp for sprint/Verizon . then I installed trwp manager from play store . I install the PAC ROM from in the app and let it wipe it self . and that did the trick at least for me. I have tried many ways like your self. Nothing work that's the only way I got it working. Hope that help.

I'll give it a shot and see what happens. Thanks for the tip...
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, can you post anything you did to get it working...
My Phone Thanks You...
Im having the same problem on both TW and AOSP. If I mess around with the connection settings I can get a signal but when I reboot its lost.
Ive tried both recoveries and its the same on both. Ive tried flashing modems but that did nothing
EDIT: Seems that any kernel that I flash breaks my phones signal, I need to test further to see what part of the kernel flash is causing this.
Whenever I download klte roms I had that problem. I could receive data and text, but I couldn't send any. I used Google voice until I flash kltespr roms. once I flashed the specific roms for our device it worked. Though I had to install ktoonez's version of twrp to get them to flash. That file can be found on the AICP thread.

I think you guys need to flash an APN package with klte roms. Kltespr roms should not have this problem, but if you run into it flashing the APN package shouldn;t hurt there either. Not sure if there is still an APN zip floating around, you may have to manually fix your APN.
It turns out that the custom kernel I was using broke the signal for some reason. Other than that, I had no problems as long as I flashed a kltespr rom. Klte roms worked for data if i used a virgin mobile apn, but there was no texting or calling.
I attached the flashable zip I used to get the virgin mobile apn. I would recommend flashing it right after you flash your rom.
having this same issue also..
i have tried several things.. going back to complete stock and working forward
no matter what i do i get no service on any AOSP rom.. im going to try this apn fix. hopefully it doesnt further break anything lol
Anyone figure this out yet? I've tried about 4 aosp roms and no luck.
PacMan rom with PA Gapps and Ktoonsez kernel worked for me. None of the others did so it must be a ROM issue.
Part of the reason kltespr was de-unified was because of issues like this.
When I'd fix something it would break something else for T-mobile or international.
So I would recommend sticking to kltespr builds for the time being.
Hopefully some work I'll be putting in soon will help get this back in gear.

I couldn't get data on any kltespr builds except Pac Man and even then I lost data the next day for some reason. The new lollipop build has data working for me even though it's "GSM only" so just hoping it stays that way haha Waiting on fixes for battery drainage and I'll run it daily
