[MOD] Enable Native Tethering without limits

The following Mod will unlock all APNs for editing, and allow you to tether using the Stock Built-in tethering:
For this to work, you must be rooted, and have busybox installed.
This is confirmed working on T-Mo software version 1.12.531.19 It may work for others, but they should probably have their own Settings.apk mod done to avoid issues.
People were having problems installing this via ADB, so I have made a flashable zip to simplify the process:
Step 1:
Flash this via recovery: http://www.cheatersedge.org/android/m8/TetherZip.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2:
Once your phone has rebooted, go into Settings -> Mobile Data -> Access point names.
Select the one for "T-Mobile Data" Which should now be editable.
Scroll down, and change the APN protocol from IPv6 to IPv4.
Select Menu and hit "Save"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OLD Instructions:
Step 1:
Download the following modded Settings.apk to the root of /sdcard/: http://www.cheatersedge.org/android/m8/Settings.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2 (Via ADB):
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
sed -i s/pcweb.tmobile.com/fast.t-mobile.com/g /system/customize/ACC/default.xml
cp /sdcard/Settings.apk /system/app/Settings.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Settings.apk
mv /system/app/Settings.odex /system/app/Settings.odex.bak
reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 3:
Once your phone has rebooted, go into Settings -> Mobile Data -> Access point names.
Select the one for "T-Mobile Data" Which should now be editable.
Scroll down, and change the APN protocol from IPv6 to IPv4.
Select Menu and hit "Save"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 4:
Enjoy fully working tethering over the normal APN.

Step 5:
Someone else should make a flashable zip *Hint* step 3 can be done with sqlite3 in the command line but... I am feeling lazy .

How would you go about getting this to work on a deodexed ROM? I just attempted the walkthrough with ARHD 3.4 and it didn't work, my APN settings are still locked

Is there an elaborate explanation to step 2? I'm new to HTC and have never used terminal or adb. Was blessed on my Razr HD. Thank you.

You would enter those commands through the command prompt where you have your android sdk set up.

ARHD probably has a different Settings.apk. The APN unlocking magic is in my modded Settings.apk. I have patched it to simply ignore the "readonly" value in telephony.db.

I'm assuming you'll still have to use a VPN to encrypt your HTTP headers, or spoof your useragent to show up as a mobile device. Otherwise, T-Mobile will mark unencrypted traffic as tethering anyway. I would love to be wrong on this one, but I don't think it's _that_ simple otherwise.
Also, I find the replacing and modifying of files to be easier in Recovery than when booted into the system. System has some annoying write protection to deal with.

User agent spoofing is still required. Particularly if you are trying to use IE. Just spoof the same Desktop UA string that mobile chrome spoofs, and you are all set.
You can also change the protocol by doing:
Code:
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
update carriers set protocol='IPV4V6' where protocol = 'IPV4';

What is the best way to install Busybox so I can get this working? I get crashes/reboots/errors when trying to install busybox.
I assume that because the system is read-only.

@Turge can you do this on ViperM8 setting.apk rom?

I can do a writeup if you need one,
But for now: Hint: look for the string "readonly" in Settings.

You'll need root. Grab the busybox installer from the google play store, it's the easiest way

I tried this and it isn't working for some reason. As far as I can tell all commands worked, but the APN is still locked. Running the same software version as the OP. Rooted/Busybox are installed.

Wait... did you install this from recovery? If you run those commands from recovery you need to mount system first.
(Advanced -> mounts)
That file should not have been there.

No, that is fine, it should have worked then. Verify that Settings.apk contains a classes.dex, and delete the Settings.odex file.

Es is not compatible with systemless root. You either need to reflash root in compatibility mode or drop Su binary into /system/bin

Easiest would be to pull the Su binary out of the superuser.zip boot into TWRP go into file manager navigate to system bin and copy the file there

Hello, I have a common problem with my devise being not the only one connected to PC/emulated.
"Error: more than one device/emulator" - I have an additional offline emulator and i cant track what created it.
I was able to correct this issue by adding
adb -s (dev. serial) wait-for-devices
adb -s (dev. serial) reboot bootloader
(or "-d" if there is only one physical device)
In .bat files in similar programs, but this package is a bit too complicated for me and i am not sure how and where to correct this. Any advice?

I can't be certain, but I think there was a few more apps in the app drawer before I unlocked the bootloader. Update might have been one of them. Can't really say, I had the phone less than thirty minutes before I unlocked it and put twrp on it.
Then I flashed a modified boot.img that did not have "fileencrytion" on the fstab. And formatted /data to remove the encryption( this made developer option crash when I tried to open it, so I reflashed the stock boot.img)
Maybe that broke something.
I just read yesterday a post in other thread that said after a backup they were missing the "cust" partition and that was why they was missing. The update app
RSGI said:
Thanks man. *****
That was exactly what was missing to get this piece of junk to work again!!!!
i've nottest that this backup is missing some apps that i had on the stock rom, like the health app, huawei account and services and software update....
No big deal, perhaps the software update app bothers me a bit... maybe i'll find it somewhere...
After using this quiet confusing unbrick method, restored with your update and voila... it works
Back to where i started, the internal storage is encrypted again.... This really bothers me...
Thank you again!

U should have adb tools installed.
After that extract the downloaded rom zip file. Enter fastboot on your phone and connect it to the computer, after that open the .bat file in the extracted folder press any button on your keyboard, it will extract the rom image, wait for it to finish. After it finishes it should ask you for input press n, then if you want to install magisk press y, if not press n.
Hope that helped.
