No problem!
Thanks Topsnake. Does the VZWEntitlementservice.apk rename have to be done with this build? Maybe I'm mis-remembering but I seem to recall only having to do the tethering option / build.prop change the last time or two around. I haven't taken the update yet to test.

Works great thanks. I like the flash method because you don't even have to root your phone to do it. That is really nice when you have a corporate email setup that restricts rooting of the phone. Another nice thing is that you can flash from a USB stick which is nice since my internal SD card is encrypted due to corporate email also.

How did you manage to flash it without root?
If you have an unlocked bootloader then you can just fastboot the recovery and flash the zip. No root app required.

Gotcha. I suppose I should have looked at your signature. Ha
Will you have a version for 24.3.7 or will this one work?
TIA
Mike
It looks like he just added 3 lines in the build.prop. I'll try it tomorrow and if it works I'll post it.

I just updated the build.prop files for the latest build. Actually had to add three lines for it to work. I tried the flash method on my phone and it worked just fine. Topsnake no longer has a droid maxx and gave me permission to post these.
visual voicemail problem with this mod?
Have anyone had problems with visual voicemail asking you to setup every day after doing this mod?
Anybody getting prompted for the lollypop update? I'm running topsnakes 4.4.4 and the update is rolling out for the Moto X so... I'm sure it won't just update through ota but I'm wondering if anybody is working on the port for the maxx

If you have Xposed.. you may use "x Tether" module instead to enable mobile hotspot. If not I hope you find the above information useful.

Does manual method work without rooting device? The root method for Droid Ultra is a long around 2 hr method. Trying to avoid rooting until a new method is available.

thanks but is there a way to turn off the wireless charging screen?
Hi all recently purchased the Mecool KM8 P 2GB/16GB S912 Amlogic, updated the firmware to 7.1 but lost root access. I have managed to find some instructions on a Russian website to root the stock firmware but can't make head nor tale of it and don't want to brick the device.
The google translate version of the instructions reads as follows:
To get root 7 Androide did:
1.Nado SuperSu create a text file without an ending .txt textBOOTIMAGE = / dev / block / boot
2. Flash card throw Recovery for 7 Androyd created Fail SuperSu and SuperSU.zip (5,63 MB)
3. Boot into Recovery with USB there "Advanced" ==> "File Manager" find the file on a flash drive that put his name it .SuperSu in and copy it into the folder / system
3. Without leaving the Recovery go to "Set" and set SuperSU.zip (5,63 MB)
Can someone please help to decipher the above?
Here's the link to the instructions website. The downloads are pinned to the top of the page. Please let me know if you have any success...
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=807465&st=1100#entry62380504
1. Create a texfile with this content:
BOOTIMAGE = /dev/block/boot
If I am not mistaken then this file should be saved wit the name .SuperSU and no extension.
2. Copy this file and the Supersu.zip onto a SD with a working TWRP recovery.
3. The file .SuperSu is now to be copied into the system folder - it does not specify if the one from the box or the one from the recovery is used - I assume the one on the box. But needs to be tested to be sure.
4. Without ending the recovery session go back and install install SuperSu.
Thing is you need a recovery that works with Nougat to do any of this.
But then again translators suck and someone capable of reading russing could bring some light on it....
Managed to get it to work. Steps in common English are as follows:
To get root on Android 7.1:
1. Create a text file (eg in Notepad) and name it Supersu without an ending .txt with the folowing text BOOTIMAGE = / dev / block / boot
2. On a microsd card copy Recovery.img (TWRP 7), the created SuperSu file (from step 1) and SuperSU.zip (5.63 MB)
3. Insert the card into Boax and boot into Recovery.
4. Using theTWRP recovery got to Advanced" then "File Manager" find the created Supersu file (from step 1) and copy it into the folder / system.
5. Without leaving the Recovery go to "Install" and flash SuperSU.zip (5.63 MB) from the Microsd card
can you post the required Files here?
i dont understand russian so i dont know what they wrote on 4pda.ru
I have found all file and attached at end of the Post
1. decompress km8p.zip to the root of your TF-Card so you have 3 Files on the root of your TF-Card (.SuperSU, SuperSU.zip and recovery.img)
2. power off your KM8P
3. Press Reset and hold it
4. Power your Box on and hold Reset
5. If you see the TWRP-Logo you can stop press Reset
6. On the Screen accept write and modifying Systemfiles
7. go to Advanced" then "File Manager" copy .Supersu file from TF-Card in/ system of your Box
8. then go to "Install" and flash SuperSU.zip (5.63 MB) from the TF-Card
9. Reboot and now you have root installed

I think you uploaded the wrong file, as the zip file you uploaded only contain one file (km8p), which has no file extension (it is probably a .zip file).
However it is missing the other files you are talking about, so could you upload the right files?
Thanks for the effort!

I attached the TWRP for Android 7 here, if you still need it.
I have also started a thread on how to root with Magisk instead of supersu, as supersu wouldn't work for me.
