Wifi Tether

greg_gorrell · Mar 4, 2014

Okay before anyone jumps me, I have searching for weeks on this. I tried various provision files and all have gave me the force close in settings. I tried that Trev E mod wifi tether app also. I can not get this thing to tether now. It worked fine when I was on ATT with a family plan, now I am using a NET10 plan. Phone is running 4.3. Is there no tethering hack anymore?

If you are on stock I have something that will work. I'll try and have something that can be CWM flashed tonight.

dicksteele · Mar 5, 2014

Try this

I'm running Stock MK6 4.3 on ATT. Worked fine for me.

All it is doing is replacing the TetheringProvision.apk under /system/app.

If you don't want to flash the file above, download apk from here.

You will then need to manually put it into /system/app and change permissions.

So anyone try these yet ??

Thanks, I'm gonna test right now. I am on the rooted stock 4.3 rom posted on here in December.

If I manually do it, I will still need adb to change permissions, right?

Yes. But the CWM flash works fine also. I know for a fact this apk works. Been using it for months.

Was just curious if someone had tried the flash. You can download, unzip it and go to the updater-script and check out what it does.

I can't get the permissions to change. I will try to flash it but I have twrp recovery right now. How would I go about flashing it with cwm? If I put the zip on my sd card and go into cwm recovery, just select install from zip file option?

Alright, I flashed it with TWRP and it was successful. I booted up my phone and got a message saying that teatherprovision tried to access a secured area and wad blocked. My phone the tried to update the security policy. I then tried to turn tethering on get an error saying unfortunately tether provision has stopped. The phone then said gave me the same nessage about being blocked from accessing a secure area without authorization. So it did not work. Do you happen to have the stock tetheringprovision file or any other ideas? Maybe the permissions arent right but I'm at work and not sure of the commands off the top of my head if I can even change them on the phone.

Are you rooted ?? Sorry I didn't ask first. And do you want to be? If you run the latest version it will turn off Knox.

You are definitely running 4.3 because Knox came up and said whatta doing dude?

Have you ever done anything to your phone?

Did you rename the original or just replace?

If so, I'm working on posting the oriignals

Permission should be rw r r or chmod 644

Original files for Tethering.

I do not have knox. Im using the rooted 4.3 stock rom with the hacked bootloader mj4 found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589891. So maybe the permissions weren't set right when flashing?

If you go to the web site on your first screen shot
www.samsung.com/us/secureandroid

That reeks of Knox.

And security policy messages/warnings are Knox related.

Go to Settings, find About Phone.

Near the bottom of About Phone ..... What does SELinux status say? Or is there one?

**********************

The ROM you are on is the first one I ever tested the file on.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I think I got it. So you are rooted. Go to apps, open SuperSU. it should prompt you to update. After it does it should ask you to disable Knox.

greg_gorrell · Mar 8, 2014

Ok I went into SuperSU and it asked me to disable knox like you said. After doing that and rebooting, it still says Enforcing under SE for Android. I don't understand the disable know prompt though. I was under the impression that there was no way to disable know so thats why I had to flash the hacked mj4 bootloader. Can you clear this up for me? I am going to try to flash the tetherprovisions again since I am still the error when trying to turn the hotspot on.

No luck.. I'd say your file doesn't work haha. But do you happen to have a copy of the stock provisions?
