I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PHONE OR ANY DAMAGE INCURRED FROM APPLYING THIS.


Prerequisites:

You will not be able to do this on stock phones. If you are on Kit Kat 19.6.3 and are stock, there is currently no way to root it.


1. Download Root Explorer by Jrummy in the Play store.

2. Download the tether zip attached to this post.

3. Go into Root Explorer and find System folder, find priv-app, inside priv-app long press VZWEntitlementServices.apk and VZWEntitlementServices.odex rename to VZWEntitlementServices.apk.bak and VZWEntitlementServices.odex.bak and back out to first folder.

4. Go to sdcard folder, download and find tether.zip that you downloaded from step 2. Extract the build.prop, copy it and back out to the home folder. enter the system folder. Delete the build.prop that is there, then paste the one you extracted from the zip.

5. Long press on the file and hit permissions in the menu. change permissions Owner: Read/Write, Group:Read, Others: Read (should show rw-r--r--)

6. Exit out of root explorer

7. Reboot

8. Check the tether it should work.

9. PROFIT! Thank baby jesus and buy me a beer lol

10. Donations are appreciated to TopSnake

Any reason why we shouldn't use the Native Tether for Kit Kat 19.5.3 ?? its working fine here on 19.6.3

You need to fxz with save data. You know how to do that I'm sure?

Download fxz from here. Extract. Open command prompt in the folder that you extracted to, the one that contains system.img. Then type the command:

fastboot flash system system.img

That should get you back up and running. Then for WiFi tether use this xposed module. (Easier to apply easier to revert for future OTA.)

I think im doing the right thing to get this working. I am downloading the latest firmware from the fxz people. 800 meg. I am just not sure 100% what to do with it after I get it

Yeah that's the idea!

    No I know nothing about it. can you point me in the direction please

    You know how to use adb and fastboot right. You likely used fastboot to flash TWRP.
