Are you asking or stating? If you are stating, then you may have gotten a bad download. I just re-verified the download and all is well. The file is very small.
Works perfectly. Thanks!
After reboot, original build.prop is back and the vzw files dropped the .bak. I am rooted, but not unlocked so wp is on, and I guess native tether is not gonna work. Didn't try it before reboot though.

Product of wp being on. You can try to open my build.prop and copy and paste the entire prop into your file effectively replacing the contents. See if that takes.

@Topsnake, is it possible to rig your previous MOD ([MOD][ROOT]Native Wireless Tether for build 19.6.3) for 4.4.4?
It appears that having a modded VZWEntitlementServices.apk which takes care of the native tether and only that is a cleaner solution than modifying the build.prop as the latter is referenced a lot by many processes which, consequently, could lead to far reaching side effects.
BTW, do you know if anyone tried your VZWEntitlementServices.apk on 4.4.4?

Thought I replied to this.
The 19.5.3 would probably work for 4.4.4 but I haven't tried it.
The build.prop is a much cleaner install when done correctly.

@Topsnake can you please elaborate on the changes you made to the stock buiuld.prop file?
I know you've mentioned in another thread that your method and the one using EntitlementBypass-v1.2.apk (from Moto X forum) are using the same commends. Would I be correct assuming that you've:
1. Added net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
and
2. Changed ro.mot.tether_dun_required to 0
Are those are the only difference between your build.prop and the stock one?
The reason I ask, is that, as I said earlier in this thread, build.prop is pretty significant file (from what I understand) and sets a lot of variables and settings. I'm hesitant to modify it in fears that by enabling native tether other unwanted side effects would arise.
Thanks

So then copy the contents of the build prop into yours or replace it all together. It takes of all about 3 seconds.

"I'm not required to disclose the details of any mod to you" - this might or might not be true as I'm not familiar with Open Source Licensing and you might be required to disclose. Regardless, you did not, that's part why you came across as not completely honest.
The fact that most developers (Jcase, Faux123, beaups, iKrYpToNiTe, just to name a few) DO disclose everything makes me thank that you might be required to do full disclosure.
"Either apply it, or don't." - I did not. I applied command provided by iKrYpToNiTe

If you are really that concerned about the build.prop being altered in a way that you feel the need to be worried, then simply compare your current build.prop to the modified one that topsnake has provided. It's that simple. No need to start arguments about what one person feels is better or safer or whatever else you think; I personally research anything that I do to my phone by tearing down apk's or batch files or whatever it might be that I'm applying to my phone to see what is being done. By doing this it also helps you learn how these exploits work and helps you learn more about your phone in general.
If you're not comfortable with changing files then don't do it. It's that simple.
Not calling any one particular person out in general, but there is so much of the same information continually being repeated that it is extremely frustrating. I'm to the point where I don't even try and help because I'm just repeating what I said a page or two back, or the post directly below.

I'm sorry if this was posted somewhere else, but I searched and nothing came up. When you root your phone does that mean you no longer can receive over the air updates? Or is that only if you have custom ROM's installed? That being said, is the ROM that you install to gain root access considered a custom ROM? Sorry... I feel like a n00b but I had to ask. :] Thanks

You can unroot and update, but be warned a lot of the time an ota update will also correct the current exploits that were used to achieve root access. If you are rooted it's usually a good idea and easier to flash a ROM that includes the update already. The developers get a hold of the source codes a few weeks before VZW actually pushes it to your phone and you don't have to wait for jcase, unrevoked, or whomever to find a new way to root if the ota breaks root access.
Hope this helps"
I was searching the same thing earlier bro and this is the answer I found.
Does this mean if I don't delete bloatware and just freeze it, then I can still get the updates? I read that article and I didn't see them answer whether or not getting an OTA update would take root off. Thanks for the response!

No the point is if you root, have SU, and/or a custom recovery, the update will fail.

So if I'm reading this correctly, a corollary is that if you intend to root but haven't, its likely a good idea to do it before the OTA is pushed, or else you'll have to wait for the developers to figure out how to root the new one?

More then likely any important updates/fixes/etc will turn up in ROMs anyways.
so how do you disable updates?

try this it works
only difference for you will be lines 4 and 5
look for your current ro.build.fingerprint and change it to the current update...
oh and also don't forget to delete the update from your cache
If you are comfortable editing the build.prop then follow these directions.
Directions:
1. Use root explorer and navigate to /system
2. Mount as r/w
3. Long press on build.prop then click on Open With then Text Editor
4. Find the line ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I510/SCH-I510:2.3.6/GINGERBREAD/FP1:user/release-keys
5. Change FP1 or FP5 in that line to FP8
6. Press the menu button on the phone and click on Save and Exit
7. Mount back to r/o
8. Reboot phone

I attached the file for more info.
mine reads:
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/SPH-D710/SPH-D710:4.0.4/IMM76I/FI27:user/release-keys
do I change the FI to something else? if so this change will not brick my phone? this is my only cell connection to outside world.
the download system update that wants to install is a FL24 is it because the phone knows FI the FL will not install?
You could just rename otacerts to otacerts.bak and then rename updater.apk to updater.bak.

what additional info do you need from my phone, that will make this a more sure ok to do for sure no worries ? what about
what disconnecktie recommended "You could just rename otacerts to otacerts.bak and then rename updater.apk to updater.bak"
is that safer, not sure where to find those files? I am doing titanium back. but i do not want to go through the hassel of reloading everything back on the phone.
Either way will work but the otacerts and updater both just catch ota information when it is sent out. You aren't deleting anything so it is impossible to brick from it. The otacerts is in /system/etc and the updater apk is in /system/app or course. Use a root file explorer like es file explorer and mount system as read/write.

so do I wait to see the update icon? then do the process
and to be clear the process is?
go to /system/etc then rename otacerts to otacerts.bak save it
then go to /system/app then rename update.apk to update.bak save it
how long does that change last if they are pushing the update wont it just come right back?

I was a little annoyed when I rooted my P600 and lost the ability to use screen mirroring. A bit of searching gave me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2421642 showing how to patch libWFD_ENGINE.so. Thanks to everyone on this thread and I have attached a working libWFD_ENGINE.so for my P600 on MK1 / ML1 firmware. Tested using an Actiontec Screenbeam Pro.
Installation:
Using a root-enabled file explorer, like Root Explorer, make a backup of /system/lib/libWFD_ENGINE.so
Download the file below, unzip the zip file, and copy the so file to /system/lib, replacing the one already there (again, make a backup).
Set permissions to 644 / -rw-r--r-- and reboot.
Not tested if it will work on other versions / variants / firmwares
Update, flashed ML1 a couple of days ago and applied the fix again OK.
Excellent work! Did you build this from source? Mind sharing the kernel base?

I am using this on the P600 wifi, are you using the MK1 firmware ?? Did you setup permissions correctly and did the filesize of the one you backed up look the same ??
TWRP can get you adb, plus the file manager can copy from microsd into your lib directory if needed then setup the correct permissions or use fix permissions from the advanced menu. Be sure to use the 2.6.3.0 version from http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/lt03wifiue, I used Odin 3.09 to flash the .tar

My laptop will not recognize my tablet so that I can put that file in a folder so that I can move it with the file manager....hmm.
Still no luck. I even downloaded the zip from the computer and transferred it to a SD card and moved it to the system folder that way and it still will not go past the SAMSUNG screen. I wouldn't care to just flash back to stock with ODIN but I cannot find the firmware without having to pay for the ability to download the file. Does anyone have a download they could share with me? It doesn't really matter which one, I just want my Note back.

This is the part that's beyond me. I know it must be frustrating to deal with us out here, but any and all help is very much appreciated.
1.Download the modded framework-res.apk from here for MJ7 or here for MK2 then copy it to /system first then change framework-res.apk's permissions to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644) and then MOVE it to /system/framework and overwrite framework-res.apk. Then reboot and you should have tethering!
Do I do a direct download to the phone? or or to desktop and than to system. and so on. again any help is appreciated This is why I go to YouTube and have a 8th grader show me how to do it. Kind of embarrassing for a guy that's in his fifties. But than again my work and what I do for a living is beyond allot of people...Thanks

I also have unlimited. Have you tried using PDAnet+? When I upgraded from 4.2.2 MKD to 4.3 MK2 my Foxfi app quit working and then I tried PDAnet+ and it works like a charm.

Have used PdaNet in the past. Cant get it to work on this build...Weird
I'm on MK2 with Surge's tether. I found it much easier to unpack the zip on my desktop and move the files to the root of my external SdCard. Once you have all four files in the folder on your external SdCard, download Terminal Emulator to your phone from the play store, open it and type in the commands letter for letter (double check your spelling and spacing). The script runs, the phone reboots, and voila tether works through the hotspot app no problem.

In addition if you use the script through Terminal Emulator you have a nice way to return to stock - just type in the commands for the untether script.
I had to undo the tether to accept the OTA from MJ7 to MK2. However, the next OTA should be kitkat, so who knows if this will even be an issue or if we'll still be able to tether this way.
Question on the root on the sd card..Do I make a file, no file on in E'S file mgr.

This is the part that's beyond me. I know it must be frustrating to deal with us out here, but any and all help is very much appreciated.
1.Download the modded framework-res.apk from here for MJ7 or here for MK2 then copy it to /system first then change framework-res.apk's permissions to rw-r--r-- (chmod 644) and then MOVE it to /system/framework and overwrite framework-res.apk. Then reboot and you should have tethering!
Do I do a direct download to the phone? or or to desktop and than to system. and so on. again any help is appreciated This is why I go to YouTube and have a 8th grader show me how to do it. Kind of embarrassing for a guy that's in his fifties. But than again my work and what I do for a living is beyond allot of people...Thanks

I'd say it doesn't really matter how the file (frameworks-res.apk) gets to the root of your SD card. From there, using a file manager (I usually use File Manager, be sure to check root explorer and system write in the settings) locate where ever you placed the file, highlight it by pressing and holding, there should be an option to copy the file. Select that. Press home (which brings you to the root of your SD card), then press the "Up" button (which essentially begins accessing system files) until you can see the system folder. Paste here. Press and hold the file again and select "Permissions." Check The read and write of the first row, and read only of the next two rows. Move the file. Navigate to the framework folder and drop and overwrite. Reboot.
I use wanam xposed and xposed. There's an option to turn off tethering provisioning their.

Just to double check where Im putting this file.. Theirs one[ sys file] and one[ system] in Devise, I did check the root explorer but couldn't find system write in the settings.

The system file. If there is one (depends on file manager used) it should be the option below the root explorer option.
Which file mgr. do you suggest?

I've managed to get them working and changed a few settings. Works on HTC One Max, stock sprint rooted sense Rom. But this will most likely work on all Roms. I wanted this to be able to use the native buttons. I used button saver app for a long time and must say, "it is a very good app." I use a mouse on my phone while I'm at my desk probably 20-30 hours a week. Yes a keyboard also 8^)
The navbar needs to be activated in the build prop.
Search icon looks a little different than stock. And themes don't work very well. They keep the default white icons, except for the search icon. It's the only one that changes. But I have that one disabled anyway.
1) In the build prop changed, it happened to be at the very end of my build prop. So it was easy to find.
"#qemu.hw.mainkeys=1"
to,
"qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"
That alone will activate the navbar, otherwise known as buttons.
To change buttons,
2) Xposed framework is necessary.

Along with this module,
3) Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons

Few pics.
Others will have to add the whole line. It's only in the Sprint stock rooted rom because in put it there but turned it off ?

Did you make sure it was there after a reboot? I'm on a sense rom also.
@mwebb34
Did you mount system as R/W before editing build.prop?
@Flyhalf205 I sure didn't thanks buddy.

Are you sure?
T6UL. Mount /system as r/w.
Change permissions of file to 777.
Add in the required line.
Save, get a prompt saying original was saved as build.prop.bak
Reboot
No joy.
Does one need s-off for this?

To edit system files you need S-OFF even if you mount the /system as r/w. You'll have to do this in recovery or edit on pc and adb push it.
Ah. Thanks for the explanation.

Easy way to Enable Navbars on all variants on S-ON
Well after few days I came up with this trick on how you can enable navbars on all HTC variants on S-ON.
Since I was on S-ON it was very difficult to make changes to the systems files because after reboot it goes back to default.
The easiest way to do this is to download this flashable zip *(found in the attachment below)*.
With the help of a file explorer, copy phone's build.prop to PC.
Open it and add the magic code as usual to the last line
Code:
"qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"
Now extract the zip file and copy to /system/
Zip and flash via recovery.
That is it. Isn't that simple?
If you are finding any difficulty, upload your build.prop file here so I could make it for you.
Here is the proof

I haven't tried this but since xposed works on S-ON, why not just use the Xstana xposed module?

Didn't know about that module, this was my way I discovered so I decided to share it. Also it might be that not everyone is on xposed.
Could just make a flash zip that just adds the line to the bottom of the build.prop.
Hi all,
I have got a modified version of the below script but attempting flashing in TWRP gets an "Error 6" code. I have a rooted S8 running Android 7.0
*NOTE: I am NOT taking credit for this script and I have simply downloaded it and wanted to use with my S8. I have messaged @Windforce0511 to seek guidance on how to get this to work but we were unable to workout what is wrong with this modified version.
The script is "DEBLOAT_Script_Samsung_Nougat&Marshmallow_Windfor ce0511.zip" taken from https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cript-t3649953 however I have attached my modified version "Debloat S8 Script.zip"
I'm not really sure what may be causing the error. I edited some lines within Notepad ++ but must have got something wrong.
The intention of the script is to massively debloat and leave only core functionality. It's essentially including all the stuff I have safely frozen.
So if anyone is able to have a look at the zip and see what's gone wrong that'd be great. I'm mindful that there may be APKs listed in the script to delete that may not exist in our S8 firmware, but I presume that if something isn't present it'll just skip passed that and move onto the next entry?
And again, this isn't my original work and neither am I claiming this is ready to flash, as it currently doesn't work!
Perhaps if we can get this to work then we can add to it, ammend it and make this a 'working debloat script thread', as I know I'm not alone in wanting to debloat. I know there is debate whether one should or not, but as far as Android goes, it's always nice to have the option! I would love to make this script grow (once working of course) and have it remove all non-essential apk's, libs etc. This is of course subjective so would be great if we could work together and create custom scripts, like extreme debloat and light versions...

That worked! Before I flashed your version I edited the script in my phone to just remove the EasterEgg system apk, and flashed away and it worked!
May I ask what was wrong with it and what you did to fix it? Was it that I edited it on the PC?
line 228 had an extra ");" and line 262 didnt have ")
also because you used wrong character encoding for edify your script had a bunch of junk when opened in the correct encoding. im not totallty sure if theres a wrong or right encode but i use "windows-1252" an ive never had any issue just make sure you open am save in that format notepad++ is probably best to use on linux i use geany on android i like using quickedit pro !

Hi guys, sorry but please don't mind me asking what about the Format & Language? Does EOL conversion & Blank Operations matter?
Coincidentally, I am also having Error 6 in TWRP while trying to flash my own debloat script, its really frustrating to edit > zip > reboot > flash > fail > reboot > unzip > edit all over again and again and again.
Hope any of you could shine me some light. Cheers.

Dar
