Thanks to datawrhsdoc for translating the OP

1. Root your phone
2. Either modify your existing APN to use IPv4 and adding 'dun' to the list of APN types, or create a duplicate APN with the same modifications
3. Set the modified/new APN as your default.
4. Download tether_counter_kill.txt from the OP's first post, and rename the file removing the txt extension (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59858654&postcount=1)
5. Install Smanager from Play Store
6. Navigate to tether_counter_kill from Smanager, and set both 'Su' and 'Boot' options. Run it (you won't need to do this again)
7. Start Mobile Hotspot on your phone, and connect to the hotspot from your devices
8. Immediately start a VPN client from your device(s) which will tether. VPN must redirect ALL traffic (e.g., TorGuard).
9. Enjoy unlimited WiFi tether

Idea for the script taken from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/lollipop-tethering-t3058923
This can be fixed permanently using the following procedure (UPDATE: no root required):
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
Start an adb shell: adb shell
In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0

Looks like the settings.db is on a lock-down. I can't access it via sqlite any longer. It says: "the database is currently locked by another process"
Any ideas? @autoprime ?
Quick Edit: was able to copy settings.db to sd card and open it up with sqlite. couldn't change any parameters, as sqlite would fc. Downloaded this guy (http://sqlitebrowser.org/) and made changes, then overwrote the one in data/data directory. We'll see how/if it works.

Nope, something over-writes the tethering back to "1" after each reboot. I'm sure @autoprime can figure this one out, as he did for KK.
You are right I'm on LG G2 with official T-Mo lollipop and I was able to edit settings.db...not with sglite but with SQLite Debugger.
After reboot, the changes i made to the tethering reverted back to dafault 1.
For those that want to use wireless tether, try the app from this thread (it's $2.5):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/unlimited-wifi-tethering-t2914057
I'm more interested in making the usb tethering work. I'll try using IPv4 + vpn tonight. Pretty sure it's going to fail because of the tether.dun set to 1...

or those having issues with tethering. I tested it out today and had issues. It would connect but would not resolve dns. I have unlimited tethering on Three, it's always worked until now.
Doing this resolved my issues. I suspect this issue will be resolve by Three when an official uk build is released.
This can be fixed permanently using the following procedure (UPDATE: no root required):
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options

anyone tested does this work with no tether tracking?
Uploading a tether_dun_required=0 script (needs root) that you can use with Smanager to either trigger it via a desktop widget, app, or set it on boot. Remove ".txt" from the end and navigate to it via Smanager. I will test tethering later tonight.
Make sure you click/select the SuperUser icon in Smanager's options.

Ohh okay. even better.. ill try it and report back. thanks
EDIT:
Strange, i cant even get an SSID to show up on the native hotspot now. I know it worked before -- i used it last Sunday. The hotspot turns itself off after like 30 seconds.
Okay.. So I did a factory reset because i didnt know how to fix my problem from my previous post.
Then I:
1) added the same APN as IPV5
2) did this:
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
Start an adb shell: adb shell
In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
3) used the native tether app
I haven't tested it very extensively but from what i can tell, i am able to tether and it just shows up as normal data vs mobile hotspot. I transferred bout 600mb as a test. will test more later.
Thanks for your help RussianBear!
EDIT:
I lied. i think tmobile was delayed in reflecting my usage. it showed up today.
My hot-spot was broken by LP. Devices connect fine but have no Internet whatsoever. I'm able to USB tether without issues using PDANet and just selecting level 1 hide tether usage works fine. No needs for UA switching or anything like that. Just wish the WiFi tether worked, even if it's counting.
Could anyone help with step by step instructions. I am new at this and dont want to do anything wrong. Plus i dont see the script.

Download smanager from the playstore, download the script, then using smanager navigate to the script and run it. You will need to select the su icon from the smanager's script options. Let me know if/where you get stuck.
Script Works for WIFI Tether
It appears that this method is working for WIFI tethering as well. I watched an 11 minute Youtube and then emailed myself a 5.5MB Powerpoint. Here are my results:
Before After
Mobile Hotspot 92.2 92.4
Data 462.2 527.1
Not sure where that 0.2MB came from, but that's not much of my 5GB plan, so I don't much care.
Update 1: Figured out where the 0.2MB came from. My testing used all encrypted traffic over HTTPS, and TMO couldn't track it. I then ran a CNN.com video and the Mobile Hotspot counter spiked. Still not quite there yet.
Update 2: Enabled my VPN, and no traffic at all is being tracked by TMO. No user agent required. Yipee!!

*EDIT* This appears to only be working for people with NON-unlimited data plans. I apologize for the inconvenience...
Saw this over in the AT&T subforum, originally posted by @ExTREmE99 , just reposting here.
This will disable the carrier check on your Verizon G4 and allow you to use the native WiFi tether - no root needed!
1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
4. Start an adb shell: adb shell
5. In the adb shell, run these commands one by one:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
reboot
When your phone comes back up you will have a fully functional native WiFi tether

don't use the hotspot app - in fact, disable that one.
You want to use the built in functionality to tether (not technically an app)
Go to settings, More (under wireless networks), then "Mobile Hotspot". You can setup your SSID and password in there. Also, you can create a shortcut in your notification bar by scrolling over to the right side, clicking edit, then checking the box next to "Mobile Hotspot"
Hope that helps.

Could you try disabling the verizon hotspot app? Mine was disabled way before I discovered this so I may need to add this step to the instructions. you may want to go through the steps one more time after that to ensure everything is set correctly. Don't forget to restart either. It works great on mine so it should for yours as well - unless you took the update a week ago?
Let me know - Thanks!

hmmm i think I'm confused. My Hotspot app is apparently still in my app drawer. When i click on it it just takes me to the native hotspot functionality.
Honestly I'd attempt to run those commands again. It would help if you took a screen shot of the command prompt window after running all of the commands. After each command it should pause for a second or two then jump to the next line with no errors or responses.
Is your USB debugging on? Also, are you in MTP or PTP USB mode when plugged into your PC?

I'm using the native tethering just like everybody else (Settings, More, flick the tethering switch to On and receive the service check). Haven't taken the OTA and have the service disabled via debloater tool. I appreciate the help!
At this point I'm not sure why some are reporting that this works while others aren't. I added a message on the original post warning that this isn't a for sure thing. I'll be sure to update if/when I find a fix or what is going wrong, but for now I think I have enough info to look into this. thanks for your help everyone and I hope that I can find a fix for this. Worst case - we have to wait until we have root to enable this.

hi guys, someone found/knows a way to get rid of those awful heads up notifications that keep appearing when you are doing something with the phone and are so irritating? how could they include something so bad without giving the possibility to disable them?
the regular android way i used in the past didn't work here (typing in terminal 'settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0' ) and via system UI tuner also i don't see advanced notifications settings.. any idea? please!!
tia!!
EDIT: fixed! done via adb.. could get rid of those damned headsup... wonderful!! :good::victory::highfive:

Hello,
My screen is damaged and is just black but the phone itself still works. I can still use android auto until I fix the screen.
Is there a way I can retrieve texts from the phone to the computer?
Many of the programs I looked at require confirmation from the phone and I have no way of clicking allow. Is there any way to get the messages?
Thanks
Is your usb debugging enabled?
Also does the touch works?

If you are interested in messages, contacts and call history only, a simple solution is to check your Google account. Obviously you should have the account on the phone and should have selected to back up to that account.

If debugging is enabled and you have allowed your pc for adb debugging on your phone, you can use this software,
https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/download/v1.12.1/scrcpy-win32-v1.12.1.zip
The official github repo link: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
Download and extract the zip, open command prompt in the extracted folder, connect your phone to your pc (debugging must be enabled, and pc must be allowed) and type scrcpy on cmd.
P.s you can check if the touch works by touching the screen and checking the response. You know how to turn on the flash. Try turning it on. This can help if your pc isnt allowed debugging on your phone. You get a prompt message on your phone to allow this pc. You can guess where the OK button is on the screen and try pressing it.
Sorry for long reply, but this is what i did.

Hi everyone
i my friend gave me his firestick 4k the other day because he has managed to mess it up big time
He said that he followed a tech docter youtube video to sideload an app to remove bloatware, after being successful at this, he then used an app that clears your cache and closes all the apps for you, from what i can understand it sounded like the app "cleanmaster"
after doing that he immediately lost his internet connection, he said that there wasnt even a network section anymore, just a troubleshooting option, he then factory reset his stick but this didnt solve anything
ive got the stick setup now, ive looked in the network section and he was right, theres nothing, even in the my fire tv section where you can see the ip/mac/ssid etc, they all say "not connected"
ill attach pictures
Im willing to flash this somehow, or root it, install cfw anything, please help!
Try:
Select Settings > Network from the Fire TV menu, then Play/Pause on your remote, and follow the recommended steps.
If that doesn't work maybe reset the stick again.
I know one of the settings in the debloat tool turns off the ability to see new networks, resetting should have reenabled that switch.

Thanks for replying, pressing play/pause does nothing, as you can see there is nothing on the network page at all except the troubleshoot option
Factory reset doesn't work at all, doing a factory reset from the my fire tv section just makes you go back to the settings menu, using the back and right button combo does nothing either, even if you wait for the countdown to end
When he gave me the stick he had already factory reset it so there are no apps on here at all including this bloatware one you mentioned, nothing

It doesn't have to show ip address, follow the thread carefully. It involves opening up the stick, connecting it to pc (via the power cable) and shorting a resistor.
This will unlock the stick and let you flash brand new firmware. It's the only way to do it if your factory reset isn't working I'm afraid.

don't unlock your stick, use any of the method
Method 1:
reinstall the app again and turn on wifi, the wifi on the stick is disabled.
Method 2:
take out your stick, connect to your pc
wait for it boot
enter
adb devices
if it says "unauthorized"
press "Down" on remote two timesand press "select" to authorize your pcwhen it says "device"
enteradb shellsvc wifi enable
if you get "killed" error then go for method 3
Unplug your stick from PC and connect to your TV.
Method 3
Install the apk on your stick, then click on "Enable"
It will also tell you if your Wifi is disabled or not.
This app can TURN ON and TURN OFF the WIFI
Here's a proof
Hi I'm trying method 2 at the moment, but if it doesn't work how do I install the WiFi enabler APK without having WiFi?

I've run into the next problem, I've installed the debloat tool, I've re enabled everything to try and clean up the mess my friend made, but when I try and deregister the stick it just goes straight back to settings, is there anything else I can do here? (he said I can have the stick now as he has a new one)

I click on settings, my account, Amazon account, deregister, deregister.....
Nothing happens and I'm kicked back to the settings bar highlighting my account again

Look, sorry for the issues, you have to do some steps.
Connect your pc to stick (using wifi)
adb connect IP:5555
then adb shell
then enter
pm list packages -d
And send me the output

Reboot your stick (Long press "Play/Pause + Select" for few seconds)
Try deregistering, is result is same, go to developers options, turn it off and then on again.
Go to network section of the stick copy the ip address.
Then go to your pc, (make sure your Stick and PC are on same wifi network)
Enter
adb disconnect
adb connect ip:5555
Here ip is the ip address of your stick
Eg adb connect 192.168.43.123:5555
It should connect

In the shell

pm enable com.amazon.aria
Then reboot and you will be able to deregister
Main one is oobe but enable both of them
