[Q] How to enable/ disable wifi tethering on BOOT

Hi All

I have a rooted android TV box that I also use as a wifi router (cable from router is connected to TV Box which is then shared through wifi)
However I have to always do that manually by going into settings. Is there any script that I can launch on startup to enable wifi tethering automatically?
I tried searching but it didnt help.
Thanks in advance.

Karbonn Sparkle V - Tethering NOT working after update Android 6.0 Marshmallow

After update my Karbonn Sparkle V device to Android 6 Marshmallow, tethering is not working.

I have also set "tether_dun_required" to "0" in setting via ADB command. But not success.

If anybody having same problem after update to marshmallow? And have any solution for that?
I prefer solution which work without rooting. Also welcome solutions with rooting.

[GUIDE] How To Unlock Tethering on Nexus 5X.

I'll start off by saying I didn't come up with any of this method myself, its just different information I found scattered on different threads on XDA and Reddit. Maybe some other 5X users will find it useful contained in this thread.

Secondly, this requires an unlocked bootloader, also working adb and fastboot with correct drivers for your 5X, enable USB debugging. I won't go over that here, there are plenty of other guides on how to do that, and know that it will erase all your data. As long as you can find your device via "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" you should be fine.

Lastly, you will get the corrupt data message on phone startup. I don't see any negative effects with this, other than an annoying message. Also I'm still able to use the fingerprint scanner as well as set up Andoid Pay. I can't verify Android Pay as I don't have any stores near me that accept it.

You also won't have to flash any custom recovery or root the device, which keeps it closer to stock, which hopefully will allow Android Pay to still function, hopefully someone with a Android Pay store nearby can test this to verify.

First grab TWRP for 5X from here. Save it in the same folder as your adb/fastboot install.
Make sure your phone is connected to your computer, open command prompt and verify adb sees your phone.

Code:

---

adb devices

---

Now reboot to bootloader.

Code:

---

adb reboot bootloader

---

Now we boot from TWRP without having to flash/install it.

Code:

---

fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-bullhead.img

---

When TWRP finishes booting, click Mount and check the box for /system

Now we need to pull the build.prop file.

Code:

---

adb pull /system/build.prop

---

Using a text editor add this line to the end of the build.prop file and save it.

Code:

---

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

---

Now we push it back to the phone.

Code:

---

adb push build.prop /system/

---

Make sure the permissions are correct.

Code:

---

adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop

---

And lastly

Code:

---

adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0

---

Now we just reboot

Code:

---

adb reboot

---

and your tethering should be working!

I'm currently using this method and it is working for me. I'm on Verizon with a Grandfathered Unlimited Plan, so I can't test it for any other carriers.
Most of this information I pulled from this reddit thread, I just did my best to condense it down and simplify it, and make it aimed toward the Nexus 5X specifically.

edit* People are confirming on the Reddit thread on their Nexus 6 that Android Pay is still working after making these changes!

Is there any way to hide tethering from Verizon on 4.4.4?

Hello. This did not seem to be a device-specific question, so I hope I am posting it in the right place. If not, please let me know.

I was always using PDANet for tethering on my unlimited Verizon data plan. I liked PDANet a lot because it had a "hide usage" mode. I believed using that mode, some sort of proxy was used so Verizon would never be able to tell I am tethering.

Now that I updated to 4.4.4, PDANet unfortunately no longer works (only in USB mode which won't be possible for m y situation). However, I rooted my phone and installed Moto Tether and it is working great. Problem is that it's using Verizon's built-in tethering app which I am 99.9% sure will show up on Verizon's side as tether usage.

Is there any app for a rooted phone that works on 4.4.4 but also offers to hide tethering as a feature?

Thank you kindly in advance. :)

When tethering and I answer a call, it stays on LTE?

I've noticed when i'm tethering using built in tether feature, and a call comes in, the phone still shows LTE and my speed on computer doesn't seem effected at all.

If i'm not tethering, it just shows 4G during a call.

Is the call going over LTE when tethering? I don't notice any more clarity than normal.

WiFi tethering will only see 2.4Ghz radios and will not see 5Ghz radios.

This information maybe obvious to some but I completely overlooked this in fact support didn't even know what I was talking about when I found the solution to my connection issue.
These android car stereos only see the 2.4Ghz wireless radio frequency they will not connect to a 5Ghz radio.
My phone's default WiFi tethering setting was to use the 5Ghz radio frequency and I could not get two different units to connect. Even when the solution was staring me in the face it didn't occur to me the phone would use the 5Ghz radio frequency. I should have realized my phone's hotspot was on 5Ghz when the car stereo could only see the 2.4Ghz radio of my home WiFi and not the 5Ghz radio. If you have a newer phone or hotspot check the advanced settings for tethering.

I hope this information is useful and helps someone in the same situation as me.
