Hotspot Bypass - testers needed - root & msl req'd - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di

I'm looking for a few experienced testers to basically run the same process detailed here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/hotspot-bypass-rooted-nougat-msl-t3572692
Obviously slight changes would have to be made for different carriers, so know your APN settings prior to starting.

Probably a n00b question for you all - noob config?

Hi all,
new find this site
what I'm after is pretty simple - but I dont know how to go about it without getting involved in the complicated developer stuff.....
My organisation purchases many an SPV (orange XDA's) which we have to manually configure before giving to the end users with the following information:
Standard Desktop setting i.e. Today screen,
IE Favourites
New Connection settings (to our APN including a proxy server)
Minor configuration changes (i.e. backlight and power settings)
Is there a method of doing this without having to learn programming in .NET/Visual Basic etc etc.?
I dont think ROM images will work as quite often orange update the devices so the images dont work
I was thinking something like maybe a specific config tool which can be automated or scripting perhaps? dunno
any help appreciated - thanks muchly - Zoomee
Maybe something like SPB Backup ...
it allows you make a backup file that's an executable auto restore for the phone's entire memory.
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en
Maybe you could take one phone ... set it up the way you need all the other ones to be setup... make an auto restore file ... then just run that on all of the other phones.... that should work?
I just went to the SPB site and I realized I actually meant to say SPB CLONE, not backup

HTC Hero200 EPST Codes!!

Didn't know if anybody could use this as our little unstoppable Hero's are getting quite old but they won't throw in the towel. I just thought everybody may want to know the EPST Codes for the Hero200. Usually I have to be on a Sense 2.1 ROM in order for these codes to work. They won't work with CyanogenMod for some weird reason. So without further ado...
These all translate to ## codes:
NOTE: Patience is required when entering a code. It may take up to 20 seconds for EPST to open.
##(yourmsl)# ~ MSL
##(yourOTKSL)# ~ OTKSL is the One Time Keypad Subsidy Lock.
##72786# ~ SCRTN ~ Looks like a enhanced ##(yourmsl)# with data username & password
##8626997# ~ VOCODER ~ Vocoder Settings
##778# - EPST - Advanced Programming - This can also be accessed from the windows folder as EPST.exe
##786# - EPST(RTN) - Reverse Logistic,Factory Reset
##4772579# - RESETs
##37872# - Full Speed USB Mode - Enable/Disable
##8626337# - EPST/Vocoder -
##2539# - EPST/A-Key - Authentication Key
##7738# - EPST/P_Rev - Protocol Revision
##3282# - EPST - Basic Programming
##775# - EPST/PRL - PRL Settings - Lets you load a .prl file from any path
##3386# - DDTM - Enable/Disable
##33284# - Debug - FieldTrial Debug Info - This can also be accessed from the windows folder as FieldTrial.exe
##3424# - DMR - PORT INFO - This can also be accessed from the windows folder as DMRouter.exe
##MSL# - MSL is your MSL code which you type in place of the letters MSL. To get your MSL code you can call your [COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important]service [/FONT][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important]provider[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] and ask them to run you through the steps to program your phone. During this process they should have you type in ##yourMSL#. This should be a 6 digit number. They normally do this with a customer when they have issues with internet/voicemail/text messaging problems or when you call to activate a [COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important]new [/FONT][COLOR=blue !important][FONT=inherit !important]phone[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] on your account.
Most of these require your MSL.
They will not work with CM7 because they are HTC codes. Some of these do work on the ROMS available but to have all of them functional as you've stated you need to be on Stock or custom Stock ROMS.
Also there is an app Free on the market called MSL reader... 800x easier than the method you posted. Just a helpful word.
Yeah, I really wish we could access these codes on a CM7 or AOSP ROM, rather than having to flash back to stock. Or... is there a 3rd party app that may give you the same kind of data access?

Axtn95 Automated Tasks v3.1

Mod Edit : Thread closed per OP request
Hey Guys.
So, a while back I made a batch tool that has a bunch of scripts to automate tasks I would do frequently when I would root phones for people. I thought some people might find it useful, either to use, or disect as a reference tool for their own scripts.
This tool has the ability to do the following(everything requires root access, except Tether_dun_required to "0")
-Disable OTA Updates (works for most HTC, LG, and Samsung devices. Maybe more, idk check it out)
-Disable Knox(Samsung)
-Native Tether Hack
-TetheringProvision(compatible with some Galaxy/Samsung Devices)​-HotspotProvision(compatible with some LG devices, like some models/firmwares of G2)​-SQLite Entitlement Check(for motorola devices, not sure if it will work on newer devices)​-Tether_dun_required to "0"(for Nexus 5 on tmobile & sprint, maybe others)​-Services.jar and/or Services.odex(some s4's and G2's)​-Reverting
-Enabling OTA's​-Enabling Knox​Reverting Tether Hack(Only for the TetheringProvision and HotspotProvision)​
How should you use this tool? Well, in my experience, I wouldnt just spam all the scripts on a device till one worked (specifically for Tether hacks), rather, I would do research here on xda, find which general method works, then use the corresponding script in the tool.
Standard disclaimer, if something doesn't workout the way you expected...it's on you.
Hope this can be useful for a few, not sure if these processes are outdated now or such. Either way, let me know if I should add or edit anything in a specific way.
tl;dr

Adding Multiple Wi-Fi Networks to Android Device

Hello all! First off, this is my first day as a new member on this forum, which I should've done long ago honestly! This forum has helped me a lot and given me insight on many problems I've faced as I delve further into Android development. With any luck, one day I can return the favor to other inspiring developers as well!
Introductions aside, I am helping develop an app for the company I work for which requires a connection to many different devices which all broadcast a hidden Wi-Fi network. The way I see it, the easiest solution is to add the networks manually through the Wi-Fi settings on Android devices, however it is long and tedious and lends to human error (I have to manually copy over SSIDs and long PSK strings). I have also come to understand that each Android device has a "wpa_supplicant.conf" file, containing all the saved networks for that device.
I am working with an array of different phones, all running some version of Android, and I need a way to add networks en masse instead of one-by-one. Is there any way that I can:
1.) set-up a "wpa_supplicant.conf" file with all the preexisting networks and PSKs,
2.) gain temporary root access to edit the ".conf" file already present (or even bypass the need for root access), and then
3.) replace each ".conf" file for that device with the updated version.
This is all assuming that the process is relatively the same per each device, which I have also come to understand is not always the case. If this cannot be done, any insight into an alternative solution would also be much appreciated! Once again, I am just trying to avoid mulling through manual setup and inevitably entering something in wrong (I've got to be somewhat dyslexic). Kudos!

Reading "register" information from my ZTE MF90+

Hi Folks, i read quite a bit in the XDA-dev forums in the last few years, but now it's time to change the status "from passive to active". :silly:
- I have a "ZTE MF90+" (a nifty little mobile 4G WiFi hotspot with battery). The Chipset should be based on a Qualcomm MDM9215.
- I bought it about 3 years ago and it is SIM-Locked (aka Provider-Locked iirc).
- I fiddled around a bit with it and am able to ADB into it (from my Ubuntu 18.04 machine and from my Raspberry Pi, too - e.g. to activate RNDIS/CDC mode for USB tethering)
- I have an unlock code, that should work "to tear down this SIM-Lock wall" without any hassle.
So far, so good ... but my interests are still not satisfied; i want to know what's up with the internals of this modem, when i enter the unlock code. I simply want to observe and understand what's going on under the hood.
To quote Ylvis from their song Stonehenge: "And i know i should be happy, but instead, there's question, i can't get out of my head!"
Maybe a year ago i did some internet research, where i found several clues that the "SIM-Lock" information might be stored inside some Section of a NV storage https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954029.
On some other russian hacker forum (that i can't find right now, unfortunately) according to google translate one of them seemed to be able to change one NV entry there to get rid of the Sim-Lock. The tabs are still open on my other Ubuntu 14.04 Laptop 250km away from here, so it might take some time to provide the "russian hacker forum link" here for further reference. I haven't tried it out back then as i heavily relied on this mobile hotspot back then and could neither afford to brick it nor had the time to fiddle around further.
What i remember was also this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117, but this thread is from 2012 and e.g. the download link for the NV-items_reader_writer.rar don't work anymore, so i haven't tried it yet to get this program running.
So now i need your help:
-> What tools can i use (on my Ubuntu Linux machine, if necessary via WINE) to read out a "full image" of the (Android) system to flash back later (if necessary) and what tool can i use to read (and modify if necessary one day) the NV items to compare them "before and after" i unlocked it?
Any hints where to start and in which direction i could head from there? :cyclops:
Please help me to grow and rise :highfive:
