After a lot of attempts, I found a way to force upgrade to Android 6.0 MM on AT&T LG V10 H900.
Before you start these steps:
•Make sure you have ADB installed on your computer and running. If you don’t, follow this guide to set it up. Or if you don't want the whole Android Studio, try this guide to setup Minimal ADB and Fastboot
•Make sure your phone is stock non rooted. If not here is the link to the stock tot file. And here is the link to the instructions for using tot file.
Instructions:
1. Download the Android 6.0 MM OTA zip file.
2. Unzip the file, and you get a 20N.up file
3. Copy 20N.up file to /Internal storage/SoftwareUpdate/ not external SD card (if folder doesn't exist, just create it)
4. Activate USB Debugging on phone and plug into computer
5. Open CMD window in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools by holding shift and right clicking and selecting open command window here. (Path may be in different location based on your installation of SDK)
6. Type the following command in CMD window:
Code:
adb devices
Check and see if your device appears listed. If not, check on phone and select to trust computer if prompted. Run command again once you added computer to trusted list.
7. Run this command:
Code:
adb shell
This should appear: [email protected]:/ $
8. Run this command in ADB shell:
Code:
am start -n com.lge.lgfota.permission/com.lge.lgfota.permission.DmcEzUpdateStart
Phone Screen should show OFTA Easy Upgrade screen for a few seconds and then reboot to software update.
Note:
This does not give you root, it simply forces the update to marshmallow.
Edit: This method has now worked for everyone who tested it. If it doesn't work for you, just ask for help and either myself or one of the other fine members of the community can try and see what we can do to help.

Tested works
Thanks for this. After flashing back to stock my phone wouldn't show that I had an update no matter what I tried. This method worked perfectly.
For those who do not want to install the whole android studio to get ADB you can use this to get it.

Thanks @silentmage for Minimal ADB and Fastboot link! Added link to OP.
I can't decide if give up root and update. I use root mainly for adblock
So I don't currently have a SIM in my V10, it's in my Nexus 6P, but when I check for the MM update I've been told there is no update. This has happened since the MM update was released. My question is can I use this method to update to MM even if there is no SIM in the phone?
I wouldn't think that having a SIM would be require to update but maybe it uses the SIM to auth to the AT&T servers?

You can technically adblock without root, if that's the only thing holding you back from an update.

This worked perfectly! Thanks, TheBobMiller. Glad we figured out what I was doing wrong.

I'm honestly not sure if this method would work for you or not. I am unaware if any of the testers or anyone who has used this method has done so without a sim card. In theory it should work since it's an AT&T version of the phone just missing the sim card. If you try, let me know the outcome please.
Worked great. Thanks!

Are you naming it the same as the original? I'm not sure, but I'd bet they can't have the same name. Other than that, I'm not sure what the issue would be. Maybe length of name, or invalid characters?

I hate to say this but it was all of 5 seconds to put the SIM back into the phone and then perform the update in the thread which worked fine. Sorry I just wanted to update the phone.
So I can across this on my Google + feed and was wondering what the exact command would be and if there are other "global settings " commands to use with adb? I am on stock 8.1 on my sailfish and I'm curious to see if this can help resolve my Volte issue or not:
"Can I (and should I) enable VoLTE on my Nexus 6?
While messing around in adb's "settings list global" command I came across this toggle: volte_feature_disabled=1
Is this something that we can play around with?"
What do you guys/gals think?

Yeah, adb will let you change anything in the settings database. Not going to hurt anything to try. I changed some settings on my Pixel to force wifi calling to be preferred.

This was for the wifi calling. I guess just substitute your VOLTE variable. An easier way is to get settings database editor from the play store. It gives you instructions on how to grant the app system permission with adb. Then you can edit the database directly from your phone.

If the string you're looking for isn't already in your database I doubt you'll be successful in adding a new string as not all phones have the same settings.

Is your phone a pixel and what exactly are you trying to enable? You wanting VOLTE and wifi calling? Even with it enabled in the Database your phone will need to be provisioned by the carrier for it to work.

Yeah, it's a pixel. Yes I want wifi and volte. I'm guessing my phone really does need to be bought from the carrier to work because I already chatted with phone support and they sent the config but nothing changed. Thought maybe I had to something else. Damn. Thanks again man.

I have a rooted 6P I keep around because I couldn't be bothered to unlock the bootloader on my 2 XL. Upon receiving my 3XL I unlocked and rooted out of the box. Did a little research, and tethering can be achieved using methods already available for other devices. This can be done entirely on the device. Confirmed to work with At&t grandfathered unlimited, haven't tested others.
Prerequisites:
Unlocked Bootloader and Root with Magisk(See the How-Tos here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/how-to-root-pixel-3-xl-magisk-t3856712)
Magisk Module MagiskHide Props Config (available directly through Magisk)
Terminal editor of your choice installed on your device
Step one: Make sure you're up to date on the Prerequisites above.
Step two: Open terminal editor and grant SU access by typing
Code:
su
Step three: Open up the props config by typing
Code:
props
Step four: Select custom props by typing
Code:
5
, Select new custom prop by typing
Code:
n
Step five: type
Code:
net.tethering.noprovisioning
it will ask what you want to set it to, type
Code:
true
make sure this is all lower case it will then ask you to confirm with y and ask if you want to reboot, select y again
Step six: Open the terminal again and grant SU access
Step seven: type
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
and exit the terminal
Step eight: reboot
Step nine: test the hotspot and crack a beverage of your choice to celebrate
If you sideloaded an OTA and are just re-enabling this mod, Steps 6-8 should not be required. Quick update 4/17/19, just sideloaded the April OTA via ADB. That retained my bypass settings, and tethering works even after re-rooting with no other changes (not even build.prop). it would seem that unless you flash the factory image, you should retain these modifications (but not root, go figure)
Brilliant step-by-step instructions. Worked like a charm for my new Pixel 3 XL. Thank you!
Can someone explain what this function is for?

It's a hack to bypass your carrier's provisioning.

Thank you for posting this clear How To. It's got me wondering though... I've used the same AT&T sim in the last 3 Google phones and never had an issue with tethering. I use it all the time. So is this new for the Pixel 3XL or is it still dependent on the plan you have with AT&T? I hope it is the latter. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive.

I have been using this method since the OP on both firmware releases. I use fingerprint with no issues and have seen noting break as a result.
Would it affect custom kernel props?
I switched to "google fi". ( cheapest ? )
Their instructions say it's painless and free and can have ten bodies attach.
Wow, I can be the backup to run the office when the provider ( verizon ) goes down again ( and again, and again ) . . .
So I did this through the terminal on my computer, but I'm looking in the build.prop and I can't find the line it added. Do you guys know where it would normally add the line to? I have bypassed the tethering limit, I'm just curious as to what file gets modified

Happy New Years everyone
I believe there is a simpler way...?
root -> download fx file manager in playstore -> install root access add on for fx file manager (can do this right in the app) -> go into system root and grant it re-write permission -> in build.prop, add "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" at the very end and save it. -> reboot and check for tethering access.
This worked for me anyway...keep me posted if it worked for you.

Full disclosure, I'm an amateur, this is literally the only reason I root. Once upon a time I did make custom monster packs for Razr phones and full roms for windows mobile devices, so I have some limited knowledge in modifying phones. I don't know where or why the second step applies, just know it needs to be done from previous experience. My 6P did not require the below step, but my 2XL and 3XL do.
Some carriers block it in another section hence the "settings put global tether_dun_required 0"
Just modifying build.prop does nothing in cases where the carrier blocks it within that other settings

Updated for Pixel 4 XL from my Pixel 3 XL Thread
Like my 3 XL, I unlocked and rooted out of the box but have a grandfathered At&t Unlimited Data Plan. At&t has somehow figured out how to block tethering on a Google purchased and unlocked device. Did a little research, and tethering can be achieved using methods already available for other devices. This can be done entirely on the device. Confirmed to work with At&t grandfathered unlimited, haven't tested others.

On my Pixel 3 XL, If I sideloaded an OTA and was just re-enabling this mod, Steps 6-8 should were not required. Quick update(note from my Pixel 3XL thread 4/17/19), just sideloaded the April OTA via ADB. That retained my bypass settings, and tethering works even after re-rooting with no other changes (not even build.prop). it would seem that unless you flash the factory image, you should retain these modifications (but not root, go figure)
That works! Thank you.
Quick update to this. Re-rooting after sideloading the OTA still retains the tethering settings as it did in the April update to the 3XL
An easier way to do this is to add
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
To the very end of the build prop using any note editor with root access.
You of course still have to follow The process to root your phone first.

This one won't unlock the throttles that the carrier does, about 60kBps which you can't even see a YouTube video without buffering.
On t-mobile, you can see the hotspot usage., in other hand .. Pdanet+ USB hides it and you can use the phone download speed. Which goes about 7MBps... Hopefully this trick fixes it.. It did with the 2xl.. Eager to try it now.

That's not true.. Look at the scripts inside the magisk module
In post-fs-data.sh
Code:
# This script will be executed in post-fs-data mode
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
and in system.prop
Code:
# This file will be read by resetprop
# Example: Change dpi
# ro.sf.lcd_density=320
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Exact same commands as what you have in your OP.

this thing wont unlocked the throttle, hotspot is enable but cant get more thatn 1mbps download. using vpn hotspot gets me 12mbps. FYI
The service/throttling etc are carrier dependent. I just wanted to mention that a magisk module that achieves the same commands is available for those who prefer to enable/disable it within the magisk manager. What you posted is all good, just the command line equivalent.
Hey all,
Its been a few years since I've messed around with the tethering on Nexus/Pixel devices.
I have a question...
Is this supposed to hide tethering usage from carrier? I'm on TMo native tethering and the usage is showing up when I check in the TMo app.
Sorry if this is something simple, I just need to make sure I'm not missing something.
Side Note:
I'm getting 100Mb+ through native tethering and only about 10Mb with PDANet.
Thanks.
Just an FYI - working perfectly on my Verizon 4xl

I do not know if this will block that. I used about 20gb last month solely through tethering and didn't hear a peep from att, even though the plan i'm on is not native tether friendly. If they know, they don't care.

It's not possible to do this without root. You need root to change some device settings to open a Diag Port, which is the bridge to the EFS Partition. This can only be done if you have root.

I think the March update changed how 'unlisted countries' sim cards load mbn. Your carrier is Verizon, right? therefore it will load the Verizon specific mbn which is why you have the carrier policy xml. But my carrier is not 'officially supported' therefore from March update, it loads the mbn without a carrier policy file maybe. Not too sure.

Your carrier is Verizon, right? therefore it will load the Verizon specific mbn which is why you have the carrier policy xml. But my carrier is not 'officially supported' therefore from March update, it loads the mbn without a carrier policy file maybe. Not too sure.

Yes it is Verizon. That's bull**** if Google changed this so that people can't use their phones to it's fullest capabilities.

Google is already limiting phone capabilities to US only. E.g "Call screening" and "Hold for me" is also US only feature. I can spoof my location with Market Unlocker to force enable it but this makes my phone think I have a Verizon sim card inserted which occasionally causes me to lose data connection (easy fix is to just make a phone call and hang up). Also, the March feature drop "Smart Compose" is also US only and I have no ****ing idea why. I understand it being English only and that's totally fair but limiting that to just the US is total bull****.
I was a long time samsung fan and switched over to Pixel 5 after hearing about all these advertised features, only to realise after I got it that these features are US only. Pixel 5 may be my first and last google phone, depending on how Google comes around and stop with all their bullshits.
Hi,
What are the commands to turn off diag mode off? or does this automatically disable when removing the USB, thank you.

If I'm not mistaken it reverts back after a reboot and the phone is no longer recognized by QPST

Ok thank you.
Thanks a lot for the video and instructions, however, I tried your method for CMHK (China Mobile Hong Kong) and it doesn't work.

China uses a different type of network technology than the global standard. This may be why it doesn't work for China.

Hi, is the method works also to rooted CalyxOS or any other custom ROM? I'm thinking to move to CalyxOS, but want to keep VoLTE & VoWifi unlocked capablities and Gcam.
