So over the last few days Chainfire has released his systemless root method for the new Google Pixel devices. My question is has anybody found a way to bypass the subscription check on the device? A post made by jphillips.hd88 outlined the only method that works for me, which involves installing a third party network refresh application, and then while the network is refreshing you quickly turn on tethering and it skips the check. This works, but I want to know if there is any way to unlock the native wifi tethering feature, especially since we have root now. Any ideas?
Did you try adding the no provisioning line to the build prop and using Wi-Fi tether app?

Yes sir. No good there.
I just made a guide on how to do it, hope it works for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/root-guide-native-hotspot-t3493286
Unlock bootloader, root, install some sort of file manager with root browsing( I used es file explorer and enabled the root explorer), navigate to /system/build.prop and edit the build.prop by adding this line to the bottom as the very last line " net.tethering.noprovisioning=true " Save the edited build.prop and reboot. This is what worked for me.

The guide was great, but it did not work for me. The device still checks for a subscription. It looks like I'm still stuck using the flaky work around that barley works until we get a custom rom for now.
Basically the line In the build prop is the way to do the wifi hotspot tethering that way you can use your phones internet on other devices that don't have internet. Also make sure to add the other lone written in the guide. It ensures there is no check for the subscription theoretically. If you need help please let me know. I will be also creating a script soon to do all this for you.

Did you follow everything exactly step by step? If you need help with it just let me know. Also what do you have the Verizon or google variant
Yeah. I actually did it twice. I'm on Verizon, but I purchased the device from the Google Store.

It worked for me. I'm not sure why it didn't work in the past. I followed the instructions and it just didn't take. The only thing I can assume is that Root Explorer didn't save the build.prop or I made a typo. Regardless it is all good now. Thank you.

here is the the Way Enable / Visible the Tethering Option in LG G2 Sprint Non-Activated Device...
Mandatory Steps
1). Root Required
2). Root Explorer or Rom Tool Lite installed (with root Permissions)
Before Proceeding Please Unlock your phone with the Thread given below...

After that
Just Download the rar file named 'Carrier'.
Unzip / unrar it to Your Notebook/System. You wil get a Folder named Carrier.
Copy it(Carrier Folder) with the Original 'Carrier' Folder that Present in the Device. if asks for Overwrite, Please Proceed with Pleasure.
& Here you can see the Option Enabled, without booting the phone... if not seen then Please Reboot, so as to Function Properly.
Pros: It works on LG G2 LS980 ZV7/ZV8/ZVA, &
Cons:Nothing...
"No Hope that all Works, but for SURE that ALL Works"
Sprint LS980 G2 phone does not have wifi hotspot out of the box.
its somehow enabled when the phone is activated in Sprint network.
Now i know this because in India i have a G2 by Sprint. its a not activated ever
on any network.
To enable the MOD jus extract the folder from the OP and use root explorer
to replace the stock carrier folder with the extracted one.
Your Wi-Fi Hotspot should be under Settings/More.
This mod also enables Bluetooth and USB tethering.
Very Important:
You have to replace the folder and not just its content, just replace the folder by copying from the download and pasting on top of the stock, when prompted to overwrite the folder, select yes.
RoM Toollite Box root explorer does not work, for some reason it makes a copy of the carrier folder in root instead of replacing it. use only Root Explorer
It works?

Hi, doesn't work for me out of the box. ZV8
Do we need to set permissions for the new folders/files?

Kinda confused as to what this does.
I already have the Wifi Hotspot 'unlock' that was posted here a while ago for the ZV8/ZVA.
But I am soon to be unlocking for either MetroPCS of T-Mobile, would this work for that, or am I way off base?
\What exactly does this do?
This is for NON ACTIVATED SPRINT G2, brand new G2 won't have tethering in it. Only Sprint Activated phones have Wi-Fi Hotspot enabled in them. I'm from India, bought G2 Sprint LS980 brandnew which had never been activated on Sprint network. Did not have Wi-Fi Hotspot in the menu. This MOD enabled it.

The activation also configures Chameleon for the brand/carrier you're activating this under. By doing it this way Sprint was able to reduce the number of builds they were doing for MVNOs and just having customization made under this feature. One of the big things this sets are animations screens.

Yes sir, Did not want to get into Chameleon thing, to be frank we just compared files of Sprint Activated phone which had working Wi-Fi tethering, fiddled around and got this working.

This is not something that improves already working hotspot. Brand-new G2 by Sprint does not have Wi-Fi Hotspot. This MOD is for those phones which a are activated or flashed to a different carrier out of the box. The Wi-Fi Hotspot is enabled only if the phone is activated on Sprint network. So this MOD is for those who do not I

Hi, i am on stock ZVC in india using GSM. non-activated sprint device which is not having hotspot option. Replaced the carrier folder with the one in your post using root explorer. hotspot option did not come up in settings/more or anywhere else in settings. any idea what else needs to be done?
Well when you extract the carrier folder, it goes like this carrier/carrier/files you have to replace the second carrier folder, not the whole folder.

Hello guys!
I have a nice news for any people, who using LS980
Several days i was in meditation about using Sprint LS980 in GSM network with native Android features, like Wi-Fi and bluetooth Internet sharing, and ability to chosing preferred GSM network by hand.
So, i did some research and made small tool, which will help you to get things, we have told about in simple steps
Requirement:
You should be on clean ZVG
You should be rooted
You should enable USB debugging
Lets make a freedom!
1. Plug you smartphone to PC
2. Install latest USB drivers
3. Be sure that
Code:
adb devices
command will return you device id
4. Download simfree.7z and unpack it. exe-file absolutely free from any viruses - i made it via BAT2EXE converter
5. Install Insecure adbd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590 and enable insecure adbd daemon
6. Run simfree.exe and allow root-right for adbd on your smartphone screen
7. Your phone will reboot
Enjoy!

You mean ##3282# (##DATA#), yes?
simfreefree
Before running the SIMFREE.EXE you should backup:
- /system/etc/apns-conf.xml -- (stock LS980 ZVG here)
- /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
- /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/carrier (/dev/block/mmcblk0p27) -- (stock LS980 ZVG here)
That is if you want to be able to easily undo the changes.
---
If you are wary of MS-DOS batch files wrapped in EXE files performing mysterious actions and want to handle this yourself:
Install these files:
- apns-conf.xml
- carrier.img
Remove this file:
- /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
---
I wonder if the carrier.img packaged with simfree.exe is copy of the carrier partition of a GSM ZVG G2? For some reason the props patch inside of it has the Sprint props file from the stock carrier.img converted to filenames in their own directory. What is *that* about? Odd.
I'm a bit peeved that someone tosses up an EXE without providing any breakdown of what it actually *does*. At close examination it looks innocuous though, but you do never know.
Worked Great!! Cheers!

It did work for me too, is annoying now , now the phone has to have a lock screen set up. Google Wallet had better . It does look better to the eye though
For now, there is no guaranteed way to maintain both root & use Android Pay. XDA featured an explanation on the portal that was offered by one of Google's security engineers. It's fairly straightforward, if disappointing for anyone who wants both.
Mine stop working after a day ,
I just uninstall it , I was happy cuz it was annoying having the screen lock with a pin or pattern

any 6.0 versions out there with integreated Android PAY ?
I get it to add cards by:

then
renaming xbin_bind folder

Hey, I actually just discovered this yesterday after months of wondering how to achieve this. I'm on cricket (subsidiary of AT&T) so i assume this should work. Unfortunately, I can't link you directly to where I got this information because I have no clue at this point But this is what I did. Download some app that can edit your build.prop. I use Root Essentials, which you can find on XDA Labs or the Play Store. At the end of your build.prop, add the line:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Save, reboot and I think you should be good, because that's all I did.

Okay so same ROM as me.
Are these the additional step?
Didn't work for me though, but I also can't tell if the adb commands executed properly, screenshot attached.
. 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
I think those were it, I'm guessing it didn't work after you rebooted right?

yeah it did not, still getting the "To enable, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611" But I know I can't just enable it because I have a grandfathered unlimited plan and they won't let you

I had a similar problem with a dutch provider. I solved this problem by adding ,dun at the apn type.
So APN type was default,dun.
I could not turn on hotspot tethering by the quick access tiles however by settings --> more --> tethering and hotspot --> wifi hotspot it works.
Disabling hotspot mode with the quick access works well.
Try it
Unlock carrier tether permanently, No root required on all ROM types.

I found the A1's camera pretty good sometimes, but the stock camera is quite useless, and no other 3rd party app seemed to be able to make good use of the camera.
Is there any way to get a good camera app, perhaps the Google camera, or the Samsung note 8 camera app?
U can't, u have to edit the build prop to enable camera HAL either it would not work.

In that case, how would you suggest on improving the camera? The camera hardware is itself quite capable, but the software is not upto the mark.

The answer is root lol, why u don't want to root it?
There is actually no root required for editing build.prop. You unlock the bootloader, then you can boot (not flash) the TWRP and mount system with W permissions. Pull the build.prop file, edit it and push it back to its place. Then you need to set the permissions of the file through the shell. As the last thing you can relock the bootloader and have the edited build.prop file without having the root.
Google it and you will find the guide.
I tested it myself. It works.

Safer option is to use a Magisk module which does exactly the thing but without having to add the lines into build.prop manually and setting the permissions etc

What about OTA after that?

Does not work. After downloading the proposed update I get installation error at the very beginning. Maybe after restoring the build.prop file the same way as I modified it, it might work.
Once you mount the system as read/write, you can't apply OTA. This is why it's better to use Magisk instead of altering system files directly.

Hey there!
I just joined XDA for the sole purpose of finding this tutorial that I have seen floating around the web lately. But unfortunately, every website has a different version of how exactly this should be done. Do you know where I can find the exact steps to take in order to edit the build.prop without having to root my phone and without losing the OTA updates?
Cheers!

If u edit build.prop means u will break OTA. 100%
just root guys using magisk safetynet pass through.
under magisk hide , chose the apps if you face issue against root, it will open

Hi,
Rajeev is right. You can edit the build.prop this way. And it is going to work. But you are gonna loose OTA, because you need to mount system with write privileges through TWRP in order to modify system file.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader, root, make some minor modifications (activation of camera api, copying fm radio apk to system folder, etc), unroot, and finally relock (flashing stock boot.img before, of course) ?
I want to have it unrooted because of bank payments, banks apps and streaming TV apps, but I would like to have proper camera and fm radio... Is it possible??
no

How about rooting the phone with Magisk and use Magisk Hide to hide root from those apps?
Htf do you think miui camera is useless. I am a photographer. And find it quit usefull and makes full use dual lens. Have you even tried HHT? Never compare two different apps. HDR+ is google's algorithm. You won't get in miui camera. HHT is miui's thing. You won't get in Gcam. Anyways HDR+ is not mandatory, you can get it from any post processing app.

A1 camera is superb in Day light only. It can't beat Google Camera in very low light. Everyone trying Google Camera here for getting Selfie Portrait mods. That not available in A1 camera .. I am not a photographer. But i can tell as a normal user in low light Google Camera perform really better than A1 camera. May be some 3rd party apps can do that but someone loves Google Camera
