Up until now I've had no need for tethering, but now I'd like to give it a try. What's the best tethering method for Lollipop? I'm S-OFF and rooted, otherwise stock. Is this method still suggested and viable in 5.0?

I had this same question and was wondering if you were able to root your phone using the method you refer to or some other way.

With two more additional edits to the same file yes.
Change tether guard support to false.
Change VERIZON to NONE.

FWIW, I could never get this to work. I made the following changes:
TetheringGuard_Rule = 0
tethering_guard_support = false
tethering_specific = NONE
Rebooted, says the hotspot is on, but my SSID is not visible to other wifi devices.

Did you freeze or mess with tether guard apk prior to making these changes?

Nope- TethingGuard is stock and running.

Something else is at play then. I have flashed this ruu and made these exact mods for my buddies and all work the same as m8 and m9. My m7 also still works with these edits. Are you stock boot img too?
Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk
I'm completely stock and rooted. I went S-OFF with Sunshine, then took the Lollipop OTA.

Well as long as you are definitely using the stock tether app the only thing I can suggest is running the repair ruu and starting over (won't wipe data). You will just need to flash twrp and reflash supersu.

I got to thinking the other day after I got the "Firmware Update" notification for the umpteenth time that it would be really cool if there were a way that I could run the factory non-rooted ROM so that I could check my work email easily and then use some sort of app or sequence to switch in to a rooted ROM to do everything else. Is that possible?
No dual boot for us yet...

By firmware update are you talking about an ota update? If so, there are several zips you could flash to get rid of it.

Dual booting a zImage is tricky. Not to say its impossible but it isn't easy like a standard bootimg dual boot. The main problem lies in the recovery being packed with the kernel. When dual booting android if u run into an issue such as a bootloop you flash a zip to boot back to your main rom, the zips are recovery specific. With Tue recovery changing between zImage flashes you could quite easily end up in limbo til you get to a PC with Odin/heimdall to flash a new firmware and be able to boot back up. There's been some work done on it but you can't boot across versions only same build/version and its not really stable in the secondary rom due to kernel conflicts

let me get to the root of the problem. no pun intended.
why do you need to be unrooted to check work email? do you use an app like 'Good for Enterprise' that checks for root or something?

I have to use Touchdown for email and if it detects root (Superuser) it kicks you off the network-which I can't have.

I have a similar issue. chk my post for how I work around the stupidity.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33088059
Asking for help on the forums is usually my last result, I can assure you. I've been at it all day now and I keep coming across the same answers and the same n/a issues.
I'm going to make this as easy as possible with the hope that some one out there will be able to help me. Because I hit my data limit and I can't even download a simple app from the Google Play Store.
My Problem: Wifi will not toggle on
My Phone (The current state of the status bar makes me cringe as well. I literally JUST got done with a factory reset)

A quick run through
1. The phone was running 4.3 when I bought it. (wifi worked)
2. I decided to root using CF-Auto Root (wifi worked)
3. I updated to 4.4.2 using the Samsung Kies (breaking my root of course)
4. I re-rooted with CF-Auto Root and flashed the latest TWRP
5. A few days later, I turned on WiFi for the first time and it instantly switched itself back off.
I'm positive I flashed all the correct stuff. I do my research before voiding my warrenty.
(for 4.4.2, I flashed the latest CF-Auto-Root-jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.tar.md5 with Odin v3.09. Afterwards, openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-jfltetmo.tar)
Solutions I've tried:
-Reboot
-Took out the battery
-a few other little modifications I did in root explorer
-Factory reset
If you've any questions about what I've done or any suggestions for things to try, please let me know. I would like to avoid flashing a custom ROM for the time being.
Thank you in advance for any help!
You need to flash a different kernel. Then edit your build.prop and change.....
ro.securestorage.support=true
To this...
ro.securestorage.support=false

Thanks for the quick reply! Any Kernel suggestions for a stock 4.4.2 rom?
Edit: Or if I flashed your ROM, what kernel would you suggest?

Hey guys hopefully someone can help me with this problem I'm having, my fiance had her HTC One VZW rooted with S-Off through rumrunner and due to an issue she was having with the camera we attempted to return the device to S-On status and remove root and return to stock everything went through fine but when we got the device back we realized that the bootloader says relocked but still says S-Off. The problem where having is that she wants to root it again and flash the Sense 6 Roms but when using Firewater it stops after you type in Yes because it sees that the device is S-Off. What is the correct way for me to get the device to S-On so that I can use Firewater to achieve the full unlock of the bootloader so I can install a custom recovery and install Roms? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Here's some screenahots of where I'm at now.
This shows the status of the bootloader....

Thank you so much for your help i have been asking around all over for help with this your support is greatly appreciated.
You might not be currently rooted, but Scotty should be able to help you out on that thread. Maybe temp root from Weaksauce may be needed, not sure.
Post back if you reach a dead end.

It is s-off ,you won't need temp root. Just unlock the bootloader, load a recovery and flash supersu through recovery, profit.
Thanks guys I followed the thread that @xenakis sent me and I was able to Fastboot and get it to changed from locked to unlocked and seeing that it was already S-Off I was able to flash a custom recovery and SuperSU and everything is good once again ?

First attempt to use WiFi tether, so it would fail.
Then open sqlite editor,
open Settings Storage
settings.db
system
search for "entitlement ".
It will show "tether_entitlement_check_state"
change the value from 5 to 0.
Reboot & En-joi

Hi
I just bought used z2 force sprint XT1789-03. It is updated to stock Android PIE. But no twrp is installed. I want to install twrp and then use any custom roms. Please guide me as I heard there are many issues when trying to do this. Some information I have attached. Also more importantly I want root access more than the custom rom.
