tethering after T999UVLJ4?

Was just wondering if there was anyone that uses the phone that is not rooted and after the update still been able to tether with the changing of the APN in the device settings?
Only reason I ask is I have a One S as well that just after the update I can no longer change the APNs the device switches back on its own.

Opps so sorry this belongs in q a
if you can please move.

subscribing for a response - i just cancelled my update to hear if the update will be an issue

I'm tethered to it right now.

How are you guys tethering without root? Foxfi?

Oh crap I'm sorry, totally didn't see the not rooted part.

Make my own APN in the settings of the to bypass the software on the phone and on my computer changed the user agent string of my browser to that which is on my phone. Can also use a tablet one too.
That works as long as the phone allows you to change APN setting.
The previous version of software on the galaxy does allow you to set and use your own APN.
I'm just not sure about this new version.
Don't really want to update and lose that ability again like on the one s I have too.

I'm considering rooting to tether as I have to travel a lot in the upcoming months. What guide did you use?
Did you have to unroot to get the update then update then root again? What's the flash counter?
Lastly, what app do you use? Free Wifi Tether?
Thanks! I can PM if you want.

Dumb Question (noob)
I'm now rooted on UVLH2 if I update to the new release today, will it remain rooted or must I re-root, and is there a different root procedure or do I again use the same root process?
Sorry If I'm posting a question in the wrong place.
Thank you!

I rooted mine before UVLH2 & after the update root was gone with counter set to 0. So, I guess same will happen for a new update & you'll have to root again.
By the way I checked for software update over data connection and got the message " Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later."
What does that mean?

Rooted: Of course Yes!

Try the APN trick method and change your computers user agent to that of the phone.
Works before the update I know that just not sure if will work after the update.
As far as upgrade from rooted? If the update comes thru and you have stock recovery should update ok but will probably lose root.

Anyone yet try this after the latest update.

No one has tried this after the update at all?

U do loose root but you can gain it back the same way you originally gained root. I just tried the free wifi app from the app store and it worked flawless. Hope it helps.

I never had root on mine (yet)
But do the tether work around and I also use with another provider.
That after the update to my One S I can't even change the APN for use on the other provider.
But I did go ahead and do the update to the Galaxy S 3 to UVLJ4 and not rooted can still change APN for use with other providers and can do the APN trick for free tethering yet.

tethering works for me .... mess around with the settings

[Q] 4.3 update notification on rooted SPH-L900

I have Sprint Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900. I had rooted the phone using Chainfire CF-Auto-Root. I did not flash any custom ROM, did not install any custom recovery. So I just have root access and stock ROM 4.1.2.
Last couple of days, I have been getting notification very frequently that "System update available". This is the 4.3 update. I have been putting off the update by selecting "Install Later".
I have done hours of research and found varying answers. Some are saying that it is possible to use Samsung Kies to get this update on a rooted phone, however, I will lose root. Some are saying that if this update is applied in any manner to a rooted phone, it will get stuck in a boot loop. Some are saying that a rooted phone will never get notification of this update. Some are saying that the phone must be un-rooted, update applied and then re-rooted. I don't even know which of these observations is correct.
I can live without 4.3 but how to make the constant harassment notification go away?
Is it possible to get 4.3 update and not lose root?
Is it possible to get 4.3 and re-root?

I had the same thing. I did the update and lost root. Rerouted and found out that 4.3 loses the WiFi tethering. So make your choices wisely.
I'm waiting for a fix or maybe one of these gracious people on the forum will point me in the right direction.

Lost root with update.
Looks like i lost the root also with the update, hopefully is not too long before they find a fix.

Thanks for the reply. Can you please tell how did you update? Did you install from OTA update or used Kies?
Thanks,

Wifi hot spot is fixed in a stock rooted odexed version of MK4 (4.3) by lorjay. You can find it in the development section. You will need to be familiar with Odin and custom recoveries (Clockwork to be exact). And I'm pretty sure you'll trip Knox (warranty code in new bootloader). Note that the wifi fix you'll be using in his version of MK4 is the native hot spot. No more struggling with various device and network settings; couldn't be simpler.

This may be a noob question but.....how do I re root after losing root when I updated to 4.3? Do I do the exact same thing I did when I rooted on 4.1.2? Do I use the same recovery or is there a new one for 4.3? If someone could help me with this or attach a link that answers the question I would GREATLY appreciate it.

help me please im a noob

Arun, you are in luck becuase I had the exact same issue as was able to resolve. I also had a rooted sph-l900 on 4.1.2 that would not successfully install 4.3. So, in order to get to 4.3, which is worth it (trim support, gui enhancements, better menus, and just so you can say to accomplished it), follow these steps.
- flash the original stock rom. The file is called KIES_HOME_L900VPALJ1_L900SPTALJ1_265523_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5
I used the note 2 toolkit by skipsoft /w odin to do this. I attempted to download this file from hotfile, but that site got shut down. Find a reliable copy of this file, then use odin to flash this when doing a "flash stock rom" operation.
- at one point, my phone kept rebooting to the samsung logo, and did not get into the operating system, so I thought I was bricked, but your still ok. I had to remove the battery, then re-insert, then force it into download mode with power+down volumme+home button. Then, it magically continued the process at the "upgrading android 1 of x" screen. Then, it will boot up to "factory".
- Now, it it truly factory and ready to accept all sprint provided updates, and yes, all the way to 4.3.
Let me know how it goes.

Actually I have given up trying to get an update because of all the gyrations involved. I have too many apps for any backup program to backup/restore reliably.
I found a thread where someone had posted a method to get rid of the constant upgrade notification. Now I do not get update notifications. I will stay on 4.1.2 till I upgrade the phone or a better rooting method is found.
I did consider flashing the phone with CM10 but even their stable builds have problems as indicated by users on their forums. Now that CM has got new funding, hopefully, they will release more stable builds.

Aaah...Can't find the exact post. It was here on XDA forums. Here is what I had essentially done:

I'm having the same issue...constant reminders, but when I allow it to run, the phone remains 4.1.2. The ONLY reason I ran the same root you did is so that I could run Trev Mod WiFi tethering and nothing more. I've had no desire to overclock or anything like I did on previous phone, but I wish I could do certain things like removing stock apps...so I'm not going down the path of running a custom ROM.

Verizon 10/30 - Update.zip file??

Hey all, wondering if anyone has the update.zip file for the 10/30 Verizon update to Software Build: VS98511C
I have a buddy who's rooted (like me) but is receiving errors trying to install it so I'm hoping this will help. His phone is set up basically exactly the same as mine but only he has had the error and we've exhausted all possibly fixes
Thanks guys

Looking for the same.. Do we have a way to upgrade while keeping root?

I am also looking for update.zip for VS98511C.

If you can update via the ota, you will keep root. I did it just fine and it's been reported from others that they haven't had a problem either. My friend's phone is having some sort of unique error that we can't figure out :/

So you kept root while updating? No need to re-root? Any tricks like using root keeper? I never took an ota while rooted so it makes me nervous.. I always manually updated with a rooted version. I have some stuff modified and frozen.. I guess un-doing all my mods and putting things back to stock shouldnt be too much of a pain so i can take the ota. Its always been easier to just flash something though. Maybe i'll wait a few days to see if theres a better way.

If you have twrp installed and take the ota you will boot into twrp until you do a twrp terminal hack or tot/kdz back to fresh stock.

I have twrp installed also. So how do we take the update then without going into a twrp boot loop?

I don't have twrp installed so I'm not sure
I didn't use any tricks or special apps or anything. I saw that others took the ota while rooted and it turned out fine so I just went for it. I figured there's really no scenario I could get into that I wasn't comfortable finding a fix for so I just lazily shrugged and pushed update LOL. I didn't need to worry though as everything updated fine and normal for me.
Again though, I don't have a custom recovery installed so idk how it'll work out with twrp :/

I didnt have a custom recovery..only root with xposed and some other mods. I defrosted anything that i froze.. put back any tinkered system files..uninstalled xposed. I took the ota system update.. Everything is working great and still have root access.

[Q] AT&T Note Edge Root, Kingroot + SafeStrap?

for a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (AT&T SM-N915A) Has anyone used ODIN to flash 4.4.4 from Lollipop (which I read doesn't trip knox) and then used Kingroot to get temporary root and then install Safestrap? I didn't really find any custom roms, but when booting from Safestrap, wouldn't root still be available even if you installed the stock Lollipop rom as the SS rom? Or would it be too difficult to remove the recovery if that's present in the stock LP rom so it doesn't mess with SS if you boot from it?

The result is my phone was ROOTED!!!. I restarted some times but the ROOT is still accessed.
I tried to use Root Explorer to copy/paste from/into system folder, it's ok like other rooted devices.
I'm following xda-note edge and see everyone's saying that NO way to permanent root ATT note egde.
I also dont know what method the seller used to root my edge, but i think it's permanently rooted.
I've NOT try to unlock bootloader neither install recovery. There seem to be no official method for ATT edge. I am afraid bricking my device.
I upload some screen to show you my note. Thanks and need your advice, guys

When you moved data into /system did you remove it before rebooting, or did you leave it in /system and were still able to boot?
If you could enable USB Debugging and open a shell with ADB and type "ps", then post the output, that may be a place to start.

Recently, kingroot has been able to get root on my note, but after 5-10 minutes I get ANRs and the phone crashes, then I have to re flash with Odin to go back to stock. I have logcat logs up to where it crashes as well.

I rooted my at&t note edge using king root. Then I installed SuperSU and used the option to install binaries in "normal" mode. Then the phone rebooted and in the booting screen i got an icon with an unlocked lock that said "Custom" then the phone booted normally no problem.
I dont know if this information is useful but i thought it was important to share.

Unroot HTC 10 to Get Oreo

Hi,
My HTC 10 is rooted, S-On, SU, boot loader unlocked, and running stock Nougat 7.0. As such, it doesn't get onlver the air {OTA}. I want OREO, and I understand that requires me to unroot. How do I unroot?
I hope to do an OTA and then reroot. If I really don't have to unroot, tell me please what to do to get OREO. My main attraction to rooting is to install AdAway.
Thanks,
Ndmand

These are what I did;
1. restore my stock rom via TWRP (which I backed-up long time ago)
2. flash back stock recovery (which I found form XDA). It will replace TWRP
3. OEM relocked
By then, I could get couple OTAs until I reach to Oreo.
After that, I went all the ways again => unlock bootloader (HtcDev) => flash latest TWRP => and so on.

I hope to do an OTA and then reroot. If I really don't have to unroot, tell me please what to do to get OREO. My main attraction to rooting is to install AdAway.
Thanks,
Ndmand

You really only need steps 1 and 2 from bita's post. If you don't have a stock system backup you can probably find one in the Backups thread.
Else, you can flash an ruu which will take you back fully stock but will also wipe your phone in the process.

These are what I did;
1. restore my stock rom via TWRP (which I backed-up long time ago)
2. flash back stock recovery (which I found form XDA). It will replace TWRP
3. OEM relocked
By then, I could get couple OTAs until I reach to Oreo.
After that, I went all the ways again => unlock bootloader (HtcDev) => flash latest TWRP => and so on.

Thank You,
This is exactly what I need. I interpret "OEM relocked" to mean that after flashing, you system was relocked, and you didn't have to separately relock your bootloader. I appreciate your help.

Great, Thank You, Tarima,
Oddly, I was hoping you'd see my post because if the great help you have given to others. I deleted my stock backup by mistake last year.
My TWRP and Titanium backups are on an SD card, so I will remove the card to protect them during the process in case things go crazy.
I noticed that SU has an unroot button, but I guess that only covers part of the process.
Thank You,

No problem. Yes, once you root with superSU, your system partition will be flagged permanently as modified even if you unroot. That's why you need to flash a virgin system backup image. This is also why I root with Magisk, as it makes taking OTA much easier. You may want to consider that as well when you root again.

I don't quite understand Magisk yet, but I will look into it. Thanks for making this doable and understandable.

Do a RUU and update ota , no need to relock bootloader, you will lose data if you do RUU

Which RUU is the right for the Oreo OTA?
I have installed the developer version, but I haven't received it. Also I knew that HTC had removed the OTA

U.S Unlocked has not yet received OTA. To go to Oreo you'll have to run the RUU.
Take the RUU posted by santod on this page:

Hi guys,
For several years now I've been getting help from you people and for that I am very appreciative. This is my first, of what I hope are many more posts.
I recently purchased a Sprint HTC 10 phone here in the Dominican Republic. It was factory unlocked already. It came with stock Oreo software. Yesterday I received an Oreo update, and this immediately locked my phone sim. I couldn't use it. Now thanks to you guys, I slept like at 1 am, but finally managed to get the phone unlocked thanks to this thread.
Now I have a problem. I'm not that of a techie guy to leave the phone rooted. Is it wise to unrooted back again? My main concern is, if I unroot the phone it will revert to having the sim lock, and that's a no go. So my question is: Do I unrooted? Can I, without damaging the phone? And if the answer is no, how do I proceed with my rooted phone to get the best out of it? I saw this video on youtube, it seems nice, but it is from 2015. Do I follow those steps or do something else to take advantage of my rooted device.
I would really appreciate your help.

The only downside to being rooted is that you won't be able to take OTA updates any longer, or use certain apps that don't work with rooted devices (mostly banking apps). I'm almost 100% sure we won't get any more OTA updates for this phone, so unless you really need to use banking apps, I would leave the device rooted. Plus there are some nice things you can do while being rooted.
If you're rooted with Magisk you can still do all of the above.

Thx Tarima. If so, what can I do with a rooted device? What are my inmediate options to upgrade the phone. Any ideas?

I thought you could take OTA?
I am WAY out of the info as I don't take them, but I'll search a little an come back with any findings.

Unless you're rooted with Magisk systemless root, you can't take OTA from a rooted state until you restore a stock system image, which I'm thinking might undo the SIM unlock procedure the OP had to do on his Sprint device.

That's what I was saying, there will 99% for sure be no other updates for this phone, so that's a non-issue. And if there is, you can run an RUU, return to stock, take the update, then do the sim unlock procedure again.
I do with root:
- Use Titanium Backup (great app backup app)
- Use F.lux app for blue light reduction
- Use Adaway ad blocker

Process for those. Sorry for being such a pain in the behind.

What do you mean by "process for those"? They're apps, you just install them from the play store
Actually I think Adaway needs to be downloaded from their own site

Downloaded the one for blue light. How about the adaway one? When dowloading the files within the app, it does not allow me and reads:
"copying of host file failed"

Sorry not sure about that, you'll have to ask in the appropriate forum.
