Cant update unrooted device

I removed root via SU, ran root checker to confirm, but I still cannot get OTA updates, get message saying "this device is suspected in rooting"
I can't unroot it any more than I have..
my main reason is the GPS, my phone has the poorest performing GPS of any phone I have had going back to my Google G1, gps will not lock while in a vehicle, cannot use google maps or any other nav.
Im hoping the update will fix it, failing that I will have to send it in for replacement, either way I need it fully unrooted.
Any ideas?

As far as I can tell, a PC is the only way. Make sure you find one with a USB 2.0 port.

Not an option, at all.

Whereabouts on Hotspot/Native Wifi Tether Mod for Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6

I've been looking and looking and was just wondering if anyone has come across a hotspot mod or hack for the Spring S6 varient.
This service is like a must have for me, and I'd bet a few others could use and benefite from this ( if it has been released, or even in the work in progress)

Look in the note 4 forum - there's a guide there that works and is super easy.

The guide in the Note 4 forum worked for me. First, I used the CF Auto Root method to root my phone. Next, I downloaded and installed the latest idoneapps' Galaxy Tools apk (GTv3.1.5.apk.) I first tried the simple method that worked on my GS5 - just click the "Enable Native Hotspot" button and reboot. Unfortunately, that seemed to break my 4G data - I think it has something to do with the APNs being locked. I went back to the GT application and (after reading through the instruction manual) changed the text in the sales_code box from SPR to XAS and hit the "set" button. I rebooted again and now my 4G was working. As a side benefit, APNs are now unlocked. Went back to the GT app and clicked the Enable Native Hotspot button and rebooted. Native hotspot is working fine for me on 3G and 4G. So, if you're having issues, check out that sales_code box.

Instructions for root - and all necessary files - are in the thread here, but there really isn't much to it - install the drivers, run Odin, select the md5 file, put phone in download mode, connect phone to computer, click Start, wait a few seconds for it to finish, disconnect phone from computer, reboot. Less than 5 minutes. The thread also has the link for the stock recovery that is installed the same way and is supposed to improve battery life. I didn't have a problem with battery, but I installed it anyways. You can read the thread for more information and detailed instructions.
For the hot spot, refer to the Galaxy Tools thread on the note forum here.
The sales_code box is the second box on the right. Just tap it as you would any text box you want to type in. The keyboard comes up, delete the text that is there (SPR) and enter XAS. Click the Set button next to it. Reboot. I'll attach a screen shot so you can see what the app looks like once the change has been made.

I posted a link to that in another thread here and have been using it since day one. Don't change any settings and just enable hotspot that's it. Have you done any updates? I haven't so I'm still on the original software which may be why but I didn't change any other settings which could be your problem.

My phone performed a software update within minutes of me first setting it up - it booted in to recovery and everything. I hadn't installed the root package or Galaxy Tools app yet, so can't say if the update is why I couldn't enable the hot spot with a single click. It would have been the easiest way to go, so I'd suggest that anyone give that method a try first. If it doesn't work, then just make sales_code change and try again.

both of yall,

This method ended up working out for me.
Im a sprint varient fully rooted with the 920t software, and having no issues with the deep sleep battery drain. But i thing i started to notice even with and without the sales_code change is that with some apps (i.e. snapchat). I cant send nor log in to unless i perfrom a info reset code (##72786#) but while doing this. It relocks the apns and disables the hotspot mod.
Any help with this is greatfully apreciated you guys. And also. Thanks again!!!

thanks again

Wish I had something useful to contribute, but I'm not having any issues - Snapchat is working fine. Attached is my current software version - as I mentioned, it did force an update the first time it booted up. Maybe pick an app you're having issues with, clear its cache, uninstall and then reinstall it to see if the problem persists.

sorry for the late reply
But i did get to figure it out. The problem was the "sales_code"
I just ad to leave it stock and just let the phone read everything correcrly.
Guys thanks again. Honestly
And also.... have any of ya had the screen rotation problrm???

I have that rotation issue. It's the damn adaptive charger. The wireless charger never has that issue. It was fixed in a later update supposedly but I had to get my original phone replaced.

I have a Sprint Galaxy S6 5.02 (G920PVPU1AOCF ) rooted with pingpong.
I used GTv3.1.5 then updated to 3.1.8, just enabled native hotspot and nothing else.
Working with no problem.

No root necessary...all you need is your MSL. Easiest way to obtain MSL is by calling Sprint. Once obtained, in the dialer enter ##3282#, hit edit, enter MSL, hit APN Settings. On APN2 EHRPD internet tap on the settings. On APN type it shows default,mms. Edit so that it shows default,mms,dun and then hit ok, up top hit More and hit save. Hit back and tap on APN2 LTE internet settings wheel and do the same...APN type should be default,mms,dun. On More hit save then reboot the phone.
That's it...turn on native hotspot and it should work!
Hope this helps!!

I tried calling Sprint and told them the GPS wasn't working and they refused to give me the msl but I've been using GT and ended up getting the msl with that

Thanks for the help on changing the Sales_code Text from SPR to XAS. It worked well for me after the reboot. I have I've spent almost 5 hours of my morning trying to find out my MSL with countless readers that didn't work. This method you describe did the trick. :good:

Doesn't work on my sprint s6. Sprint gave me the msl code but there is no APN option under the EDIT menu. I can only see APN under VIEW and it's greyed out, cannot be changed

You cant manually do it from what im aware, you might have to talk to a developer who knows more about your phone.
Otherwise, restart and try again.

Anyway to hotspot?

Just got the phone and hotspot is important to me. Has anybody figured out a way to get it past the subscription prompt.
Thanks

I suspect that you'd need root to edit build.prop or something else to bypass the subscription prompt.

Sometimes, not always.
Just hoping someone figures something out soon.

just got an s8+ today and found out that the native hotspot will work if you pop sim tray out, it will then take you to lock screen, push sim card tray back in, pull down tray and turn on hotspot. You may get an error saying no sim installed but just keep pushing hotspot button until it recognizes the sim. It is working on mine now but now I am trying to figure out how I can disable ota updates so they can't disable it with a newer android version. Anyone have any help for me? Thanks

Wonder if the adb thing I did with my s7e works ....

I got the Sprint hotspot working with two adb commands

I'm glad I saw this... definitely don't want to install the update if it breaks this. What method did you use to enable the hotspot? I'm wondering if it makes a difference.

Same problem
Yeah I'm having this issue as well, I can't add APNs or edit them either by adding dun. It's very annoying and I've had to switch to my old phone to be able to have my hotspot back.

I found another workaround. screencap / copy the settings in one of the APN settings and tap the 3 dots in top right.
Create a new APN and use the same setting on prior APN, but add dun settings.
Select the new APN you created with dun and it will work.
testing on my s8+

Do you mind sharing the exact steps you are using? I am still hesitant to update to Oreo unless I know for sure I can hack the hotspot.
The initial method I used was copy/paste of some APN settings via terminal/ssh of ADB.
Thank you!

Yeah I found that out the hard way last week.
But follow these steps

This worked for me but only for 24 hours and that seems to be the case for a lot of people so if it happens to you here is the fix for that:
-disable Hotspot tether & mobile data
-now enable hotspot tether(wait until its fully turned on)
-now enable mobile data once hotspot tether is turned on

well has nobody tried this on the CRC5 update yet or has this been confirmed to work still... ??

Yes. Here is an image file from varoius forum posts to get this to work. You need to follow the steps twice, to edit each apn. Once you edit the first one successfully and go to edit the other, that on is grayed out.
Enjoy
